steamer George w. Elder has arrived
here from Dyea. The Elder left Dyea
the 9th inst. She confirms previous re-
ports that both the White and Chilcoot
passes are blockaded. The route from
Skaguay via White pass is more level
and easier travelled, though 20 miles
farther, but the prospector is landed on
Lake Bennett, the second lake above
Linderman, where travellers by the Chill
coot pass are landed. Besides. there Is
plenty of timber on Bennett lake to
build boats, while there is none on Lin
derman. Nearly all the Elders passen.
gers were landed at Dyea. Officers Of
the Elder say that not one-half the peo-
pie will get over the mountains this
winter Many are selling out their out
fits and returning. Letters from par.
ties who went up on the Elder advise
their friends not to 60 this fall. - they

FULTON. Aug. l5.-Frilay n party
was made up in Rock Island for raid
on the Fulton Modern Woodmen head
quarters, with the object of forcibly
taking poss essiOn Of the books, records,
etc., Of the order and removing tho
Office of Head Clerk Hawes TO Rock
Island. A train was chartered, consist
ing of three coaches, baggage car and
two box cars and the invaders wero
soon on their way to Fulron. The in.
habitants of the latter town were fore.
warned, however, and made ready to
give their uninvited guests "a cordial re-
ception. A fire alarm was sounded and
lines of hose were laid to the points
where it was thought the Rock Island
ers would be most likely to discmbark.
The arrival OF the special was tho
signal for the bos;ilities TO begin.
There was intense feeling on both sidoS
and great variety OF weapons, this
combination resulting il the following
casualties:
VIII Bennett, city ,nar5hai Of Fulton,
head cut, believed to lie fat;lly hurt.

A score of others were more or less
bruised and cut. The free fight lasted
for an hour or more, rocks clubs end
missiles of every description being
welded industriously by the opposing
forces. The Fultonites finally got the
best Of the fight and Deputy Sheriff
Farley effected the arrest Of Head At.
torney johnson of the Modern Wood
men, one OF the Rock Island party, and
. number of his companions. Tho rail-
road track on each side OF the cars that
brought the Rock Islanders was torn mp
by the Fultonites, the latter evidently
aiming to cut of the retreat Of their
enemies.

Judge commends strikers.

PITTsBURa. Aug. Yesterday was
fraught with exciting incidents on mat
tiers pertaining to the miners strike
Mutiny in the miners camp, a murder
in the deputies ranks. filing Of criminal
and civil suits against tho De Armitts
and the hearing In the injunction case
against President Dolan and others
kept both sides to the struggle busy and
on the qui vive all day long.
The hearing in the injunction case
before Judges Stowe and Collier was
perhaps one of the most important and
interesting ever held in the federal
court. 1t was a hearing in which both
capital and the rights of labor were in.
terested and the decision is expected TO
have telling effect OH the conduct of
the great coal miners strike, which has
been on since July 5.
From the TESTING : adduced and
from the expressions Ut the court it can
be safely said that thcro will DO some
surprises. That the injunction will be
materially modified there can be no
doubt, which on its face would indicate
victory for the strikers. The prelim.
mary decree has been continued pend
ing consultation Of the judges.
Judge Collier said in court that the
strike would 60 down in history as one
Of the wonders Of the century and re-
markable on account Of the utter lack OF
disorder, for which the strikers are
commended and have the sympathy Of
the court. Said he: There can be no
question as to what our duty Is under
all the testimony, but I am somewhat
in doubt as to whether or not the order
should be modified. We cannot deter
mine this without consultation"
Women VIII March.
The contemplated plan to have the
women make marches, which was TO
have been inaugurated. has been de-
finitely decided upon by the leaders, and
the wives and daughters Of the strikers
will now take mp the work which the
men have been enjoined from doing.
IL is the intention TO start tomorrow
and have the women do the marching,
while the men remain in camp. The
leaders think that the injunction il not
operative against the women, and it re-
mains to be seen what the outcome
will he.

wrought mp the 1000 idlo miners to
such pitch that desperate conflict
was imminent. The deputies also were
excited and noisy. The strikers were
jeering and yelling and urging rush.
There were enough of tho miners to an

James Richards and Superintendent De
Armitt were the cool men in the assem-.

a riot. When Bellingham saw there

The Legislative Lobby.

Several legislatures in session this win
ter have passed bills designed to cure the
lobby evil, or rather to correct the per-
version of the lobby for this third
house. really has its legitimate functions.
It is perfectly proper for arguments to
be made for or against pending bills, by
persons who are not members Of the legis-
lative body. before committees or indi-
viduals, under certain circumstances. AS
an illustration, the city and port Of Sa-
vannah have time and again sent delega-
tions to Washington, or to Atlanta, to
urge the passage or non-passage of GER
tain proposed measures. The members
of the delegation Immediately became
lobbyists upon arrival at the seat of gov
eminent, and worked hard to convince
the legislators of the correctness of their
way of looking at the bill under consid-
Grafton. That is legitimate lobbying, and
it will survive. as it ought to.
There is another kind Of lobbying, how
ever which is INDUCED in by professionals
who live at the capital, generally, and
who often indulge in bribery and black
mail, If the stories about them are to be
believed. These are the persons who have
brought the lobby into disrepute, who
have caused more legislatures than one
to be scandalized, and who will have to
go. The states of New York and Mis-
souri, have just passed laws defining lob
bying, providing regulations for the lob
byists, and making disobedience of the

The Missouri law provides a minimum
fine of $500, and Imprisonment of from

tive. Each law recognizes the right of

senator Hoar's Change of Mind.

The amendments to the rules of the
Senate which Senator Hoar introduced
into that body just before 1t adjourned
the other day, is causing a vast amount
of comment, not only among senators,
but also In the newspapers.
The amendments are extremely radical
and the strange thing about it is that
heretofore Senator Hoar has aggressively
opposed any change in the rules that
would open the way for a prompter trans
action of business.
The most important of the amendments
provides that any senator may call for a
vote on a bill or resolution after it has
been discussed one day. and If he is sus-
tained by a majority of the senators a
vote must be taken without delay, no
other motion being in order except one to
adjourn or take a recess. The other
amendment gives the Vice President the
right to say when a quorum is present
These amendments are in the line of re-
form. If adopted it would not be posi-
BILE for a few senators to block leglsla-
ton as IS the case at present. Under the
existing rules the majority cannot get a
vote on a bill until there is general con-
sent that a vote shall be taken. A sena-
tor can debate a bill throughout an en-
tire session If he wants to- and he can
have the roll called as often as he ques-
lions the presence of a quorum. No SEN
ator, and no minority of senators ought
10 have the power to defeat bill by dila-
tory tactics.
1t is true. that under the rules, as they
are at present, partisan legislation can be
prevented, but at the same time a few
senator's for personal reasons or rea-
sons they would not dare to avow pub
Ideally. can prevent legislation demanded
by tho best interests Of the country It
is pretty safe to say that the present
rules are oftener used against the pub
lie good than for il. 1t is better TO cor
rect partisan legislation at the polls than
TO have rules that can be so easily used
TO injure the people. Senator Hoar's
amendments should be adopted.
