Astoria, Ore, Aug. 13.-The Oregon

here from Dyea-
The Elder left Dyea the 9th inst. She
confirms previous reports that both the
White and Chilcoot passes are block

White Pass are more level and easier
travelling, though 25 miles farther.
But the prospector is landed on Lake
Bennett, the only lake above Under

Pass are landed. Besides there is
plenty of timber on Bennett lake to

derman. Nearly all of the Elders pas
sengers were landed at Dyea, the YES

Passengers and goods were lightered

Letters from parties who went upon

go this fall, as they cannot get through:
San Francisco, Aug. 13.-During the

people who announce their intention of

Promoters of expeditions by this route

GALLANT GOV. LEEDY
Offers to Hire a Hall for Mrs. Sutton's
Ball Out of His Pocket.

Governor Leedy and Secretary of State
Bush agreed today that they could not
permit the of Representative hall for
the grand Floral ball to be given by Mrs
G. s. Sutton on Thursday night of Fes-
tival week. Much as they were person.
ally willing that the hall be used for that
purpose, the statutes especially provide
that it shall not be used except for state
conventions. When it was used for the
Charity ball last winter under Governor
MorriIrs administra tion it was a vfola>
ton of the law. 1t is popularity supposed
that nobody but Populists violate the
law. Republicans never do.
Governor Leedy told Mrs. Sutton that
he would willingly pay for a hall out of
his own pocket if it would be of any help
to her. Mrs. Sutton is very sorry the hall
cannot be secured. She says Governor
Leedy has been very kind in other mat
ters and does not blame him for his de-
cision.
Now, If we only had the Auditorium"
said Mrs. Sutton today, I'VE should be at
loss for suitable place for the ball.
Hamilton hall seems the only place left
and it is feared it will be too small.

OH, YOU'RE NOT so MANY.
Strikers Wives and Daughters With
Banners Flying M arch Against
the Sheriff's Posse

Pittsburg, Aug. 13.-During the morn
ing about 40 women appeared on the
road leading to Plum Creek. The party
was headed by the strikers queen, EN-
ma Haas, wearing a wreath of daisies
and carrying a flag.
A number of banners were displayed
bearing striking inscriptions, among
which were: We are out for wom-
ems rights; SO cents or bust
United we stand; divided we fall
It's bread and butter we want
The women were accompanied by ia
cob Thompson, who has been active
during the campaign. The deputies
lined up again and ordered the crowd
to disperse. One girl said to a deputy:
'Oh, you are not SO many; we are not
afraid of you
The deputies received many taunts
and jeers, but the marching women
were finally persuaded to return to
their homes without any serious trou-
BILE occurring.

WHAT COLOR?
Well, the B. B. Uniforms Ought to be
Something That Won't Fade

What color shall the new base ball
uniforms be? Manager Coe has no
preference. Treasurer Wick would
like to have them dark green, Assist
ant Manager RynerSon thinks the old
fashioned red is, good enough for any
one, and President Copeland has not
yet been consulted.
A meeting of the association will be
held this evening, when it will be decid-
ed what color the uniforms shall be and
they will be ordered at once.
The game yesterday was all that
could be expected. The receipts were
between $75 and $100. The receipts
have not been checked up, so it is not
known just what the total amount will
be, but the management says that it
will be enough to buy the coveted uni
forms The expenses Of the game will
have to be paid, but the subscriptions
secured before the game will make UP
whatever deficit there may be.
The Topeka base ball team has no
games scheduled for next week, as all
the league teams will be busy, but when
they play on the home grounds again
they will appear in the new suits and
that fact alone will stimulate interest
in the Orga nizatiOn.

the injunction would hold good until
Monday, when they would have hear
ing before Judges Stowe and Collier. He
added: Il command you, as high sher-
iff of Allegheny county, to cease this
marching. You must not molest men
who want to work. They have as much
right to the roads as you, and if you do
not desist in obedience to this injunc-
tion 1 will arrest YOU
Deputy sheriffs formed a line across
the road and forced the strikers to move
along. Seeing no way to help them
selves. the fife and drum band COM
menced to play and the men moved on
in the direction of their camp. By this
time news of the Sheriffs arrival had
reached the strikers guarding the min
ers' houses across the ravine and they
FASTENED to gain their companies. They
met on the hill above Center and form
ed on either side of the road and invited
the deputy sheriffs to pass through.
The invitation was not accepted and
the deputies allowed them to stand.
This did not please them and the band
started back.
One of the strikers, who assumed a
leadership bade the others to fall in
the rear. George Kelly of Clearmont
and Michael Dukes of Carnegie, march
ed ahead carrying flags and attempted
to break through the ranks of the dep
utieS. They did not succeed however
and were compelled to stand and listen
to the reading of the injunction. A few
of the more stubborn ones offered re-
Sistance and asserted right to go
down the road in the direction of the
pit mouth. but Sheriff Lowry was firm
and told them that as they had come
from their camps, they would have to
return that way. One of these was
James A. Bruce, colored. of California.
He said he had paid his tax and asked
to pass through the line of deputy
sheriffs. When refused, he insisted
that his name should be added to the
list of defendants in De Armitt's equity
suit and also demanded a copy not only
of the injunction, but of the allega-
tions upon which it was issued.
While the negro was being disposed
of, Richard Barrow of Walkers Mills
with half dozen of his companions,
seated themselves on the side of the
road and refused to move. They said
they could not be made to move by all
the deputies present and a wordy war
ensued Finally Deputy Sheriff Clark
Selxed Barrow by the shoulders and
a dozen strikers ran to his rescue. One
striker with cooler head than the
others, shouted to them not to resist
the officers and after much persuasion,
Barrow and his companions moved off
The strikers then marched to Camp Is
OlatiOn, without further molestation

WHITE MANS PERFIDY.
Indian Trader Near Topeka
COnfidenced But Indian
Statute Protects
Him.

A suit will be commenced early next
week in the United States circuit court
which will effectually settle the ques-
ton of whether the state courts have
any business on the Indian reserva-
tions.
The persons about whom the dispute
has arisen are Eli G.. and John Nadeau,
father and son. While Eli G.. Nadeau
is an Indian in the eyes of the govern
ment he has been regarded as one of
the wealthiest men in Jackson county
Father and son were together In puS1-

their cattle and lands attached in the
state courts to pay the debts.
The Nadeau suit will be an injunction
against his creditors who are trying TO
take his property and at the same tlTfle
two toher suits will be filed in behalf
of other Indians.
The story of Nadeau: trouble IS one
of the duplicity of white man. Henry

FREE SILVER is BOSH.
Mrs. Lease Finds Our Economic Trou-
bles Lie in Our Social System.

New York, Aug. 13.-Mary Elizabeth
Lease in an article in an evening pa
per, discusses the labor problem.
1.-The intelligence of the nineteenth
century, says the great reformer, has
been used to get the greatest amount
of labor for the least amount of money.
Accepting things as we find them, it
may safely be assumed that capital IN
vests for profit and labor invests Tor
wages. While this condition exists
conflict between greed and Self-preSer-
walton Is inevitable.
Capital employs labor where it can
get it the cheapest, and as American
labor comes in contact with the labor
of the world in free trade market, the
capitalist smilingly turns the wheel
whose grinding huns With grain for
hemself and chaff for the laborer.
THE advent of machinery has dis
placed human labor.
THE inrolling tide of immigration
swells the ranks of the unemployed. On
an average five men are waiting and
watching for one job and the whole
transient population is looking for en-
plOyment.
1.-The iron law of competitive wage
system operates to force wages down,
eventually to the lowest point of possi-
BILE subsistence Thus\ men with small
families work for less han men with
large families, single men displace the
married men, women work for less than
men and children for less than either
1.-THE Hungarian and Italians work
for less than the children and the Poles
and Chinese, who through centuries of
want have learned to live on almost
nothing. displace all others. Antagon-
ism is engendered; strikes follow; and
imported labor and the state militia fol-
low the strikes.
Meanwhile the caterpillars on the
social cabbage are multiplying. When
the wage-wOrker can discern nothing
ahead but starvation wages, enforced
idleness and the needs of a destitute
family, can it be wondered at that he
sees no difference in the theory that the
use of dynamite and the application of
a fire brand is as justifiable as the
methods used at the birth of the Re
public-methodS anarch'stic. revolu-
tionary, destructive to life and proper
ty, detrimental to law and order, yet
breathed into the hearts of our chill
dren, cherished as a sacred legend be-
cauSe-SucceSSful?
The terror of revenge, the majesty
of retribution are intruding upon the
feast of Belshazzar. The difficulties be-
tween labor and capital are not local;
their reasonable solution is a question
of national Importance, of world wide
discussion
