tary Police Force.

LEADvILLE, Colo, Sept 26.-Under
the latest orders of General Brooks this
city has been placed under the control
of a provost guard or military police
force. Great pressure has been brought
to bear upon Edward Boyce, president
of the Western Federation Of Miners
to induce him to use his influence with
the Leadville miners union to call the
strike off. He refused and said that not
per cent Of the members of the union
would vote to call the strike off.
An attempt will be made TO have the
accused men admitted to bail. Judge
Owens will probably grant the applica-
ton. 1t is expected that Gen. Brooks
will have them Immediately rearrested.
They may then obtain writs of habeas
corpus. Should Gen. Brooks ignore
such writs he will be cited for contempt
of court and the governors request to
place the community under military
rule will be reviewed in court. The
case is likely to reach the supreme court
ON writ of error.

Missouri arrived over the Denver and
Rio Grande railroad at ago p. m. The

train to the city. where it was met by
500 men with two Calling guns. The
70 miners were surrounded by soldiers
and taken to the Emmett mine

friends of the strikers crowded closely
upon the troops and showered abusive
epithets alike upon miners and militia.
One officer finally drew his sword, strik-
ing one of his tormentors across the face
with the fiat side of the sword. The
order was given to charge the crowd
with gun butts and push them back to
give room for the marching column.
The march was then resumed without
further incident

SEPARATE COACH LAW DECISION.
A Railway Is Not Held Responsible For
Leased Train.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 26.-The court
of appeals has reversed the judgment Of
the Taylor county circuit court in the
case of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad vs.. the commonwealth. The
railroad was indicted for failure to pro.
vide separate coaches for colored people
and was fined $500.
The court holds that in the present
case the railroad had leased its cars to
other parties, and did not have charge
of the train. 1t was a special train,
and action should lie against the parties
leasing it, and not against the railroad
company.

Hon. j. Adger Smyth, Mayor
Charleston, S. C.-Sir: Your commun
ication addressed to me, as chairman
of the State board of police commits
sioners, has had my attention. | bee
leave to state that the State board has
had no meeting to consider this ques
tion mentioned by you, and so far as
insisting upon any action on your part
as Mayor of Charleston, feel that
not be so presumptuous, whatever
might be its feelings or desires.
We have nothing whatever to dc
with the Mayors appointments, and II
the board sees fit in its wisdom tc
place into operation the metropolitan
police law, It will do 80 from sense OF
duty as contemplated by the statute,
and not to protect the official head OF
: any individual.
l certainly, as an individual, have
no objection to conference with you,
either as an individual or official, to
freely discuss the public welfare, but
you must pardon me for refusing to
call the board together to hear you
upon, as you state, a threatening con-
ditiOn of affairs, over which the board
has no Jurisdiction.
shall be glad to confer with you as
an individual, and l feel sure the
other gentlemen composing the board
would likewise be.
With great respect, am truly yours,
JOHN GARY EVANS.
In connection with this correspon-
dence the Mayor said that council and
the community were aware of his con-
tlnued sickness, and that yesterday
was the first time for nearly two weeks
that ha had hnnn nh 20 l.;
home or attend to any business.
1t had been his purpose, as indicated
in his letter to Governor Evans, to
have gone to Columbia as coon as DOS
sible and conferred with the Governor
and the State board of police commits
sioners in reference to this mat
ter and the enforcement of the laws,
and he had felt confident that the
board would take no action at least
until they had accorded him an oppor-
tunity of appearing before them. In
this he had been disappointed, as there
had been no communication from the
board to him whatsoever.
Governor Evans in his letter practi-
cally states that no such action would
be caused by the failure to nominate
Capt. j. Elmore Martin. On the other
hand, it could not have been caused by
any failure on the part of the present
administration to carry out the law, as
Capt. j. Elmore Martin had been in
charge OF the police department ever
since the election. Besides this, as
soon as he assumed control, the Mayor
had given instructions to Capt. Martin
that all the laws should be enforced
without fear or favor, and it was his
to execute impartially this
and all other laws upon the statute
books. He had expected that his ad-
would be tested before it
was condemned, and that judgment
would not have been passed upon it
and this community unheard.
He placed the papers now before
council and asked what disposition
they desired to make of them.
Upon motion of Alderman Gadsden
the entire matter was referred to the
Mayor, with the understanding that
council should be called together when
he should desire to bring the matter
again before it.
