Leadville, Colo, Jan. 16.-The crisis
undergone since last June has been
reached, and a calamity far worse then
the strike of the metallic miners here
has overtaken the camp.
For the first time in 10 years, the
immense pumps that have drained the
big mines on Carbonate hill, the
wealth-centers of Leadville, are closed
having been entirely pulled out, while
the pipe lines connecting are to be re-
moved at once.
The Maid-Henrietta pumps had a
capacity of 1900 gallons of water
minute, and, depending upon them
were nearly all the great mines of car
Donate hill. Two days ago, as stated
in these dispatches, men We're put to
work pulling the pumps, but so serious
was the undertaking that people here
were loath to believe that the intention
would be really carried out. Today,
there can be no doubt, for the pumps
have been so far taken out that to put
them back would be to go all over the
ground again.
How long the mines affected by this
move can hold out is merely a matter
for conjecture. There are miles OF
workings on Carbonate hill and these
will probably fill up slowly, so that
the down town workings may not be
reached by the rush of waters for a
month or two. 1t is expected, toWever,
TO be only a question of time, and
month would undoubtedly find many
mines idle. as a result of the flood
1t is of little consequence, now,
whether the strike is settled or not, as
ha m cain nv sci
tIement. 1t Will be many months be-
fore there will be employment for the
new men in the camp. Merchants feel
gloomy, and all acknowledge that
Leadville faces the most serious crisis
in its history. Nothing definite look
ing towards a settlement of the strike
has yet been arrived at. Debs is hope
full and the Miners union is inclined
to give in considerabl today.
The governor will say nothing on the
situation, but maintains that some
thing must be done, and that no one
should lay a thing in the way of set
tlement. He is still hearing the views
OF leading citizens on the question, and
beth he and the managers approve OF
the position Debs has taken on the sit
uation-
Some men express the opinion that
the strike Will be settled by Monday,
and others take an opposite view.
Debs is optimistic. He is hopeful of
n favorable turn, and says that with
an amicable adjustment of the strike
the bitterness of the present will be
forgotten in six months. He is GER
tainly the strongest character for good
that has yet interested himself to ef-
feet a settlement.
The men held for the murder of Pat
rick Carney were today bound over to
the district court to await trial with
out bonds.

but at the first refused to act, on the
ground that it was not within his ju-
riSdiction. There the matter rested un-
til last night, when Colonel Ward re-
turned to his headquarters on Gov
ernor's Island with the announcement
that the examining board would recon-
slider the entire batch of thirty cadets
who were discharged.
~ believe the dismissals were or
dered by the board without the knowl-
edge of eXtenuating circumstances
covering the cases of my son and of
young Lee" said Colonel Ward. In
view of this fact, a reconsideration has
been ordered. 1t would not do TO show
any partiality, and for that reason the
entire number of plebes and upper
class men will be reinstated and given
another examination
1t was believed at the war depart
ment last evening that the action of
the secretary was due to influence
brought to bear on the administration
by General Lee.

BONDSMEN WILL LOSE.

A peculiar feature of the case is that
the government will not lose anything
by the McBride-Cunningto defalca-
tion, it having been protected from just
such an emergency by some surety
company for McBrides bond and per-
sonal bondsmen for Cunnington. The
name of the surety company was not
obtainable last evening, but it is an
eastern concern with an agent sta
toned at this point. Cunnington's S
bOndsmen are all prominently connect
ed. All of the loss must be made good
to the government and it is not only
in the province of the bondspeople to
prosecute. but the government may at
its pleasure, punish both prisoners for
breach of faith and for the good of
the postal service

JUDGE POWERS PLEA.


When the hearing opened in the
morning Judge Powers reviewed brief
ly the history of the crime and the
facts as established by both the pros
ecution and the defense. He cOntended
that there was nothing but circum-
stantial evidence upon which the con-
victiOn was based, and sufficient proof
was at hand to show that if Haves
was guilty, others were implicated
with him. He scored counsel for the
defense for not calling witnesses that
should have been produced and could
account for it in no other way than
that the defense was either overcon-
fident of an acquittal or else grossly
negligent He also intimated that
there was a conspiracy on foot to do
away with Hayes.
Judge Powers then submitted a pc
tition signed by II members of the
Salt Lake bar, asking that the SEN
tence be commuted to one of life i'm
prisonment. Among the signers to the
petition were W. H. Dickson A V
Taylor, William c. Hall, Frank Pierce,
H. P. Henderson, c. o. Whittemore.
NJ. NJ. Kaign. Hiram E. Booth. Dan
Harrington, Frank B. Stephens, James
D. Pardee. E. D. r. Thompson. Jona-
than G; Royle, Thomas Marshall, P. J.
DAILY, ID. II. Wenger, c. f. Loofbourow,
John a. Street. c. w. Bennett, E. d.
HOge, George w. Moyle, f. B. Critch-
low and Samuel A. Merritt
Another petition asking for a COM
mutation of the sentence was signed
by 3S business men of this city.
Three hundred and seventy-six resi-
dents of Eureka petitiCned for an alb
Solute pardon.
Residents of Springville to the num-
Der of % asked that a Communication of
sentence be granted
Twenty-one citizens of Logan sent
in petition for an absolute pardon.
A similar request was made by "a
people of Stockton. This was supple
mented by a petition signed by IA resi-
dents of Mercur.
Another petition signed by 70 resi-
dents of this city asking for an alb
solute pardon made up the list in be-
half of the convicted murderer.
AFFIDAVITS GALORE.
Judge Powers then reached over for
a stock of affidavits, most of which
contained statements as to HAYES
whereabouts on Feb. 16 and II. Mr..
Hayes. it will be remembered, resided
at Eureka and the murder was COM
mitted many miles from that place on
the evening of Feb. 16.
c. E. Oumond of IA West Second
South street, Salt Lake, made an affi-
davit to the effect that he saw Harry
Hayes every day at Eureka, the latter
being in the habit of building a fire in
front of atlantis door every evening at
5 o'clock.
John Dillon of Eureka, in an affidavit
set out that he saw Harry Hayes on
the 18th of February, working about
w. F. Shriver's store. On Sunday
morning, Feb. II, again saw Hayes in

! Harry Hayes, convicted of the Peli-
can Point murders. will not hang. The
state board of pardons yesterday COM
muted his sentence to one of life i'm
prisonment.
The final hearing before the board
yesterday was not devoid of sensa-
tional features. Affidavits upon af-
fdavits were presented by Judge Pow
ers, who appeared in the condemned
mans behalf, all setting forth evidence
that would at least indicate that 9TH
ers were implicated in the murder, if
indeed they did not build up a strong
doubt as to the defendants guilt.
The climax was reached when Judge
Powers handed in an affidavit which
attacked the integrity of public Of
fetal. The contents of the document
were not made public for the reasons
stated by Judge Powers that it was
a direct attack upon a public official
and would not have been presented
only for the fact that human life
was at stake And so the silent mis-
sive was handed over to Governor
Wells. chairman, to be discussed in
executive session.
PROSECUTION JOINS.
In addition to all the written evil
dence, Prosecuting Attorney King of
Provo appeared before the board and
stated tnat while ne believed Haves
was guilty, there was at least possi-
bility of others being implicated, and
he would, therefore not oppose COM
mutation of the sentence.
During the course of the hearing
Clerk Hills received a telephone mes
sage from S. r. Thurman and his
partner, Mr.. WedgeWood, of Provo.
which was reported to the board in the
following self-eXplanatory language:
Both myself and my partner MIR.
Wedgewood are strongly Of the Opin-
ion that the sentence OF Harry HAYES
should be commuted We wish it TO
be emphasized in this that we have
no doubt of his guilt. There is no
doubt as TO the killing being done by
Hayes but we are not satisfied as to
the manner of the killing. We are
not clear as to the motive or for what
reason the deed was committed. There
are facts in connection with the case
which were not admissible in evidence
and which were not introduced, and
which, if they had been allowed to
go to the jury, would have warranted
a verdict with recommendations. We
both recommend the Communication of
defendants sentence TO life imprison-
ment. l viii at as early a date as
possible communicate to the board in
full so that our recommendations may
be of record in the files of the board
] am sorry that | could not be present
and personally explain at length my
reasons for thus recommending.

REMOVAL OF COLLECTORS.
The Civil Service Commissioners and Sec.
rotary Gage.

A special from washington says:
The action of Collector Par.ott In re-
moving, or, as the treasury officials put it,
refusing to renppoint the deputies in tho
internal revenue Office at Baltimore, will
cause the same controversy between the
civil services commission and the Secretary
of tho Treasury that arose over tho rcinov-
als made by Collector Brady in Richmond.
MIR. Parlett, however, has not gone as far
as Colonel Brady, and his action will UNI
doubleday be sustained by secretary Gage.
While he has removed the deputies, he has
not attempted to evade tho civil service
law in making appointments.
Tho stamp deputies, the chief deputy and
tho cashier of the Office were expected
places and the appointees are not subject
to civil service regulations. Tho deputies
he has rrappointed are, of course, eligible
under the civil services rules, and the lc.
Rulity of his course, therefore, depends
merely upon his right to remove employees
placed within the classified service by an
executive order: O-
