riot occurred at Minont to-day. The
coal miners there have been on a strike

few men have been working against the
wishes of the majority. To-day while

of miners interfered. A fight ensued
and Morgan and Erbelang commenced
TO shoot. killing instantly young mar

wounding another. This so enraged
the miners that they attacked Morgan

beat them badly. Morgan may not 1--we.

RAW COTT0N
Placed Upon the Du'iable List for
First Time in Tar # History.

Washington. June S.-By the deci-
sive vote of AZ to 19 the Senate to-day
adopted an amendment to the tariff
bill placing raw cotton, the great pro-
duct of the South, on the dutiable list
at 90 per cent. ad valorem. 1t is the
first time in the history of tariff legls-
lation that duty on cotton has been
incorporated in a bill.
The amendment was proposed by Mr..
Bacon Dem.. Ca on his individual
responsibility and without the approval
Of the finance committee, which thus
far has been requisite to the success
Of every amendment except a minor
one which went through by default.
The amendment led to a spirited de-
hate Democratic Senators disclosing a
wide difference of views and at times
exchanging sharp personal criticisms.
On the final vote six Democrats, Bacon
and CLAW. of Georgia; McEnery, of Lou
iSiana: McLauTIH anu ii'iii"''' VI

with the Republicans for the Bacon
amendment. while the negative vote

cotton took up most of the day and but
little progress was made on the bill.
Early in the day the sugar schedule
was nassed over and the agricultural
schedule taken up. The paragraph on
cattle went over, but the balance OF the
agricultural schedule up to and in
cIuding paragraph 22S, was agreed to
as reported. all amendments except
that of Mr.. Bacon's being rejected.

Joseph Richardson Dies Worth Twenty
Millions-Lived in a House Five Feet
Wide.
New York, June S.-Joseph Rich
ardson. an eccentric millionaire, died
here to-day. He made his fortune in
railroad building and was closely asso-
ciated with the Vanderpilts and Goulds.
He constructed large sections OF the
Union Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain and Mexican Central rail-
roads. He came as a poor boy from
England. Mr.. Richardson's fortune
has been estimated at s2O,OOO,0oO. He
dressed more like a tramp than
wealthy man and lived and died in a
house which was only five feet wide.
This place has been called the spite"
house. 1t was built because the sur
rounding property owners refused to
meet Mr.. Richardson's terms for the
narrow lot. He afterwards refused fab
ulous sums for the little piece of ground
on which his house stood amid the tall
houses on the best part OF Lexington
avenue
His greatest aversion was to seeing
his name in print.

port of Consul General Lee upon the
results of the investigation made in
Havana in the Ruiz case had not yet
been received at the State Department.
Consequently it was not possible to
learn whether the publications pur-
porting to be copies of the report were
accurate Assuming, however, that
the Consul Generals conclusions are
correctly set forth, in brief that Ruia
died while in Jail in violation of his
treaty rights, the question before the
department of the largest Importance
is. what shall be the next step The
wife of Ruiz has filed with the depart
ment a claim for S15O,OOO for the death
of her husband. The Spanish conten-
ton has been that he was not killed
end that he was not treated harshly.
