A FIRM GRIP
Is Held on Leadville By the Mil
itary
No FOOIishness Will Be Permit
ted By the Governor.
SOME WILD STORIES
Circulated That a PrecOncerted
Attack Is to Be Made
By RiOtOus Miners From Other
Camps But Not Credited.

LeadvilIe, Col, Sept. 24.-Except that
the civil officers are now being allowed
to exercise their constitutional prerog-
atives, provided they do not interfere
with Gen. Brooks movements, military
rule is supreme today in Leadville-
The soldiers will make arrests, disarm
all but officers of the law, hold prison
ers subject to the commanding officer
and search houses without other war
rant than the order of Gen. Brooks.
The military court of inquiry, to in
quire into the circumstances of the de-
struction of the Coronado mine and
the loss of life incident thereto, oonven-
ed this forenoon, and will endeavOr to
establish the identity of the men en-
gagged in the riot for the benefit of the
civil authorities. It's sessions viii be
secret.
The following officers and members Of
the miners union are in jail under
strong guard, being held for the muir
der of Fireman O'Keefe; Peter Turn
bul, vice president; z. J. Dewar, secre-
tary; George Handy VIM. O'Brien,
Otis, John Ahern, Conner Richards, ,Ern-
est Nicholas, Eugene Cannon, Cornell
ius Shea, Michael While, Gus johnson,
and Nels ClauSOn. Five members OF
the executive committee, including
Amburn are still at large and search is
being made for them.
Inc cLafSe against EQWarQ E5ONce-
president of the Western Federation of
Miners, who was arrested last night is
'inciting riot" and is based on a speech
he made to the miners a couple OF
weeks ago.
Secretary Dewar and the other Off
GERS of the union, who are in custody,
declared that the outbreak of violence
Monday morning was contrary to the
policy of the union and is greatly de-
plored by them.
The arrests have caused cOnsterna-
ton among the strikers and it is be-
Heved have greatly weakened their
cause.
There was to have been meeting OF
the Miners union at the City hall last
evening, and Gen. Brooks sent a squad
with a gatIing gun to the han with in
struction to prevent the meeting. The
gun was later returned to battery head
quarters, the union meeting having
been held at an early hour, and being
in session but ten minutes.
The order declaring that the city
should become subject to martial law,
at o'clock yesterday afternoon was
suspended until o'clock. Before the
latter hour arrived the order was in
definitely suspended.
Excitement is again at fever heat,
owing to the flood Of alarming rumors,
and the failure to declare martial law.
The weather is disagreeably cold, and
damp.

it will be greatly appreciated.
The members of the Committee of

WILL HAVE A QUEEN, TOO.
Santa Fe skylarks Will Go skyIark-
ing Friday Night

The Santa Fe Sky Rollers the Kar-
nival night club organized in the au-
ditOr of freight receipts Office of the
Santa Fe, have decided to introduce a
queen in the KaTniVal parade which
will astonish the natives and visitors
in this city and surpass anything in the
line of titled beauty, with of course
the exception of LORNA and the Floral
Queen. The boys have, after much
discussion, picked on the name Flora
for their queen, and propose to expose
her to the view of the excited public on
Karnival night on magnificent throne,
surrounded by several attendants,
cOurtieEs and a large number of jest
ers.
One particularly bright mind on the
sixth floor has, after much labor and loss
of sleep, evolved the following touching
ballad. which will be sung by the boys
in honor of the new Queen:e
We love our darling Flora, yes we do,
For she's indeed our lily, loo, loo, loo;
In the Santa Fe we're high,
For we work next to the sky,
And to Flora you can bet that we are
true.
Her hair it may be auburn-what of
that?
And tho her walkers strike the pave
ment with a spat,
Our feelings never Waver,
Not a demi-Semi-quaver,
So don't you think we're talking
through our hat.

REvIEwING STAND
To be Erected at the North Side of
Statehouse Square.


The state executive council decided
this morning to build a reviewing stand
at the north entrance to the state house
grounds on Eighth street.
According to the plans which had
been made the parades We're to be re-
viewed from carriages from that point
but when Major Anderson placed the
matter before the executive council to
day they consented to erect a stand
without expense to the Committee of
Fifteen which is sadly hampered for
want of funds.
Just what the stand is to be has not
been definitely determined. 1t will
however, be large enough to accommo-
date the state officers and their ladies
end the capacity will be about 80 peo-
pie. The state officers will spare no
pains to make the stand as beautiful as
possible. 1t will be a bower of flags
and bunting and the rough boards of
which it viii be built will be entirely
concealed.
All the parades will pass before this
stand but it is especially designed to
afford a review of the civic and militia
Ty parade on Thursday. The stand will
be done, however, for use on Monday
when the Labor Day parade will be re
viewed
1t will be located at the north en-
trance of the state house grounds to re-
move it from the crush of people who
viii be on Kansas avenue. The work
on the stand will probably be com
menced tomorrow and before evening
the wood work of the stand will be
completed.

A TRIP TO ASHEYILLE.
Free of EXPENSES for Whomever the
Governor Favors.

The governor of North Carolina has
sent a message to the governor of Kan
sas The executive of North Carolina
did not word his message in the cpl
grammatic words that have become
historic and which the executive of that
state is supposed to use when he ad-
dresses the executive of another state
He simply states that q convention
will be held in the "beautifu1'' city of
AsheviIle on October 21, % and %, for
the purpose of petitiOning congress to
adopt a natiOnOl flower of America and
asks that the governor of Kansas ap-
point two delegates, one lady and one
gentleman to attend and represent this
state. He adds:
I have no doubt in your state there
are eminent citizens who would be
pleased to receive such a distinctive
mark of attention, and I urge you to
make this appointment and notify this
department or Hon. VIM. J. Cooke,
chairman and mayor of the city of
Asheville.''

TWO INHUMAN BRUTES.
Saturate a Dog With Kerosene and
Set Him on Fire.

Last night about II o'clock T J. Col
well, and r. Q. Allen, two cOlOred men,
aged respectively "a and 19 years, tied
paper and cloths around the body of a
stray dog, poured kerosene oil upon it
and set fire to it.
In the alley between Monroe and
Madison streets and north of Fourth
street, COlWell and Allen were having a
good time at their house. They were
making considerable noise and a num-
Der of people were attracted by the
cOmmOtion. The door of the house was
open and the colOred men could be
seen working at something on the floor.
They laughed and jol1ed as they work
ed, and the crowd became larger on the
outside.
With a loud cheer and much laugh
ing the men touched a match to the
poor dog which they had been abusing,
and kicked him out of the door. The
flame from the oil soaked paper and
cloth blazed up three feet and the ter
rified animal ran from the house and
down the alley screaming with pain
The men laughed and thought it a fun
ny joke. The crowd pursued the dog;
they should have turned their attention
to the human fiendS; if the animal had
run under a building, which it would
have been but natural for it to have
done there would have been a big fire
started. The dog ran down the alley
toward Third street, while the flames
blazed high from its back. Near the
street it fell to the ground and rolled
over and over in agony. The pursuing
crowd with some difficulty eXtiuguished
the flames and the dog ran away to die.
PatrOlman Mcdowell and Special Off
Ger Wilcox arrested the two brutes,
CoIwen and Allen, and they were lock-
ed in the city Jail charged with cruelty
to animals. They claimed that they
were playing with the dog and that it
ran against a can of coal oil and then
tipped over a lamp. But several men
saw the whole operation, and the two
men will be punished for their inhu-
man joke.
This morning state warrants were is
sued for Colwe1 and Allen, charging
them with cruelty to animals, and they
were transferred to the county Jail to
await trial. They should receive the
extreme penalty of the law. Any man
who will so maltreat an animal, is not
safe to live in the community.

ceeded in dealing with the eastern
question, which has arrived at a period
when it is necessary to strengthen the
hands of the government by an express
sion of national opinion. I believe that
the united presence Of the ambassadors
at Constantinople has operated as a
distinct cOuntenance to the sultan, who
is thus their recognized ally.
But while urging the government
to act, it does not follow that even for
the sake of the great object in view
Great Britain should transplant Eu-
rope into a state of war On the other
hand however, 1 deny that England
must abandon her own right to inde-
pendent judgment and allow herself to
be domineered by the other powers -
(Cheers)
Mr.. Gladstone also said: I'VE have a
Just title to threaten Turkey with coer-
cion that does not in itself mean war
and I think that the first step should
be the recall of our ambassador
(Cheers) And it should be followed by
the dismissal of the Turkish ambassa-
dor from London. Such a course is
frequent and would not give the right
of complaint to anybody. When diplo-
matte relations are suspended, England
should inform the sultan that she would
consider the means of enforcing her Just
and humane demands. I do not be-
lieve that Europe will make war to in
sure the continuance of massacres more
terrible than ever recorded in the dis
NAL, deplorable history of human
crime cloud cheers)
Mr. Gladstone, who spoke about TWEEN
ty minutes, was in good voice and did
not seem fatigued when he had fin
ished.
Before the arrival of the Gladstone
party and the distinguished guests in
the auditorium of Hengler's Circus to-
day there was a spontaneous OutburSt
of patriotism, everybody present stand
ing bareheaded and joining in singing

In responding to a toast to the presi-
dent of the United States. Mr- Bayard
referred to the queens prolonged reign
as a triumph OF good and settled gov
ernment of a free country. He also
eulogized President Cleveland's inan-
ciaI integrity and sound faith. His
chief reason, he said, for coming was
his warm appreciation of the noble
words spoken by Baron Russell of Kill
owen, the lord chief justice of England,
now in the United States in favor of in
ternationaI arbitration, which r-Bay-
ard said he hoped would sink into the
consciences of both peoples.

Denver, Sept. t.24.-The impression that
