VIENNA, Oct. THE present dead
lock in the reichsrath, owing to the
German obstruction, has created crit

suspension of the Austrian constitu-

session of the lower house, after an
uproarious dispute between DR.. hra-
marez, the acting president, and the
German opposition, the chamber adopt
ed by large majority, the acting pres
ident's proposal to discuss the motions
for the impeachment of the ministry
at the morning sittings and to devote
the evenings to the bill for the eX-
tension of the compromise with Hun
gary for a year, the delay in adopt
ing which is causing much resentment
in Hungary and rendering the passage
of the treaty by the Hungarian par
lament extremely doubtful.

day Baron Banffy, the premier, re-

of the celebrated Hungarian patriot,
who urged the government to take
advantage of Austrian chaos and try
for Hungary's independence" declared
that the ministry had no intention OF
turning Austria's difficulties unreason-
ably to the advantage OF the Hungar-
ians. The union of the two countries,
he declared. must be regarded as in
dissoluble. Should the Austrian con-
stitutional system break down-which
God forbid-the Hungarian government

 ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Aug. 11.-Albert Kneeland's record is coming to light under the scrutiny of Mir. Morris, the prosecuting attorney. Kneeland is in jail on the charge of bigamy.

Mrs. Orma Knee land, the St. Louis wife, who caused Kneeland's arrest at Las Vegas, is said to be the first wife of whom any trace can be found.

He also mar ried Miss Elizabeth Cooper, of Colum- bus, O., Miss Hattie Moon, of St. Jo- seph, and woman at Toronto.

Many of the appeals are from families, the heads of which are at the mining camps. Nothing has been done by the local operators looking to a set clement of the strike. They declare that the miners demands are impossi- ble of compliance and until they are modified there is no use in talking about a settlement. There are no new developments in the coal operators arbitration movement A meeting of the committee was to have been held last night, but so many of the members are out of town that it had to be post poned

 Want the Boggs Run Mine Closed.
 WHEELING, w. Va, Aug. 11.-At three o'clock this morning i27 miners from the Wheeling creek region, in Ohio, marched through the city to the Boggs Run mines, just below here. They came for the purpose of trying to close down the Boggs Run mine, the only railroad mine in the Wheeling district now being operated They announce they will stay until Boggs Run joins the strike. To-day 200 more men from Barton, Maynard, Pascoe and other mining communities in eastern Ohio are to join the Wheeling creek men now at Boggs Run. The men from the mining towns along the Wheeling & Lake Erie have also announced their willingness to participate in this demonstration, which may last several days. With the West Virginia strikers gathered at Boggs Run there are now about 400 men there. A meeting will probably be held to-day, but it will be difficult to get the men at this point out. The campers are being provisioned from the Wheeling miners aid store.
 i Miners from Moundsville and Bon wood induced the Glendale company's men to come out. A demonstration against the Heatherington and Mcgee river mines across the river in the Bel mont district was to have taken place to-day, but the Heatherington men yesterday joined the strike.

 from Oregon to Kansas.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 11.-A herd of 80,000 sheep has been bought in Ore gon by a local live stock commission firm, and is now being driven overland to Kansas, where the sheep will be fed next winter preparatory to their sale here next spring. This immense herd is divided into 12 bands, each of which is driven by eight men. The method of driving the sheep is to allow them to graze along the roadside as they travel, covering six or seven miles each day. The driv- CTS are furnished with horses and camping outfit and while the drove of sheep rests at night the shep- herds sleep in tents The bands are driven about 12 miles apart and are ex- pected to reach Kansas by October. By driving the sheep overland instead of shipping them by rail the commis- sion merchant will save $S0, 900, as the transportation charges from Oregon to Kansas amount to $1 head. The only expense will be in the salary of the men and the cost of feeding them and their 100 horses.
