LARSON, January ~, iosf.
EDITOR SENTINEL: The Eighteenth
Session Of the Nevada Legislature opened
mildly enough Monday noon. The quiet
that reigned during the hour or so jusi
preceding the formal opening and organi'
zation gave no token Of the bitter contest
that had waged between the contendine
factions Of the House ell day Sunday,
The grave and reverend Senators went
about their matters with becoming dignity,
and selected their attaches with hardly
ripple 10 disturb the serene surface Of their
deep CONCENTRATIONS. But In the House
the applicants for positions we're legion
and assaulted the Asssmblymen without
mercy. The usual ooseris Of workers were
on hand, but pretending 70 have no inter.
est in the organization, the safety Of Jones
being their only ostensible excuse for ex.
hibiting such fea-like activity.
AZ you will note by the list Of attaches.
Storey county has hardly been treated
with the consideration IL deemed itself en-
titled TO-. She came down to the Capital
demanding several positions, she has re-
ceived bat two, messenger and porter.
Many here, and two or three OF her own
delegation consider this . just rebuke.
She wanted too much.
The Enterprise complains bitterly Of
hoggishness, etc.. and has some little sar-
casm to throw Of Allen Of Eureka and
Norcross Of washoe. The fsct 10 that
Allen tried hard TO have an understanding
with the Storey people. but their stub

agreement simply forced other counties to
combine against them and four other
votes they had managed by trading 70
place under their standard. The com
bination against them WAS led and man.
aged BY Allen and Norcross. Much praise
is given Allen 10 snti-railroad quarters
for his superior strategy and generalship.
Old timers say that no such bitter fight
has ever been known here since '69.
Soon after organization OF the Assem-
bly, Monday quite . discussion was had
over the proposition 10 have the ministers
Of Carson o~ficiste Of the opening daily.
Trembsth Of Storey suggested that some
orphan child be given the compensation
usually given TO ministers, and that such
child repeat the Lords Prayer daily in
the Assembly. Garrsrd thought The
chaplain At the prison should oficiate and
. suggestion was made that some member
say the above mentioned prayer at the
openings. but this last was thrown out ex.
citedly and 81 once. The whole affair was
9 farce and was settled finally by having
the four regularly ordained ministers
o~ficiate alternately.

Topic at Hongkong.

VANCOUVER lB. O., Sept. News
comes ~ the Empress of China from
the Orient that the police gambling
scandal is the chief topic in Hongkong,
and nearly the whole force of Chinese
detectives has been deported to Canton
for completely in the same. The most
important European official involved
was Inspector Bob Mitchell who was
tried before Chief Justice Darlington on
a charge of receiving bribes from the
proprietors of a gaming house. He
was found guilty and sentenced to six
months Imprisonment.
The death is announced of A. p. Hap
per, Commissioner of Customs at New

ment. 1t is stated that difficulties that
arose to prevent the fulfillment of the
Belgian loan to Sheng Tai Jong have
disappeared, and that the loan will go

LUETGERT MURDER TRIAL.
The Day Taken Up With Two Wit
nesses for the Prosecution.

CHICAGO, Sept. but two wit
nesses were on the stand in the Luet-
CERT trial to-day, and when the court
adjourned the testimony of one of them
was not completed, and will be re-
sumed tomorrow.
The first witness was Frank Bialk,
the watchman Of the factory, who was
on the stand yesterday giving his di-
rect evidence, and to-day he was
turned over to the defense for cross
examination His testimony was in
the main unshaken, although the de-
Tense drew from him the fact that it
was by no means an unusual thing for
Luetgert to be around the factory at all
hours of the night. He said in his di
rect examination that he thought that
Luetgert was acting in a suspicious
manner on the night of the alleged
murder and to-day said that he was in
a position from which he could have
seen everything Luetgert did at the vat
on the night the murder is said to have
taken place, but did not look at him.
The other witness was Frank Odorf
sky, an employe of the factory, who
placed the caustic potash in the vat on
the order of LuetSert. He had been
working around the watts for a long
time, but that night was the first time
he had ever seen any caustic potash in
the factory. He testified to finding in
the morning in the vat into which he
had put the potash a mass of Shiny
brown matter, in which he found pieces
of bone and what appeared to be parti-
cles of flesh.

THE SUPPORT AT DYEA.
PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. News
comes from Dyea that much trouble
has resulted from the hasty establish
ment of the SUPPORT at Dyea, without,
it is alleged, adequate preparation or
instructions to officials. The result
result is that no settled policy is pur-
sued regarding the admission of min
ers' outfits belonging to British Co
lumbia prospectors bound for the
Klondike. 1t is said that many sup
plies and even much liquor has been
improperly admitted.
The foregoing statements are under
stood to be contained in an official let
ter received here tonight on the
steamer FaraHon from John Z. Smith,
United States Commissioner at Dyea.
Smith says that whisky is one of the
principal features of cargo of the nu-
merous vessels running north. He an
ticipates much trouble, unless decided
instructions are given concerning the
proper handling of goods while in
American territory.

but New York reported foreign buying

Kingdom and the Continent Deliveries

Liverpool was a shade lower. Paris

marked change for the better at the
English market
1t was to the renewal of foreign buy
ing, however, that the market owed its
strength, as it showed the dependence
of Europe upon this country for sup
plies until next spring, at least.

the advance, which kept gaining till

THE COAL MINERS STRIKE.
MINERS AND OPERATORS AT
SEA OVER THE MATTER.
All Profess Ignorance of the Nego-
tiations Said to be in Progress
to End the Trouble.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 1.-The striking
coal miners and operators in Pittsburg
are all at sea over the reported prob
able settlement of the strike. While
both sides united in the hope that the
great struggle will soon be over, they
all profess ignorance of the negotiations
now said to be in progress with that
end in view. Cameron Miller, ex-Vice-
President of the United Mine Workers
of America, received a telegram from
President Ratchford denying the
statement that he made a proposition
to the operators, and saying that he re-
cefved an offer that he would submit to
the Executive Board. This proposition
comes from Thomas Young, who repre-
sents the NJ A. Hanna interests
The leading lake shippers who are in
Pittsburg emphatically deny that Mr..
Young is on the Executive Committee
of their organization, or that he has
authority to represent them. The of
fer of "a cents, they say, is higher than
they are willing to make, but if it will
bring about a settlement it would likely
be accepted. Some of them said the
proposition reported to have been made
by President Ratchford to start the
mines at 90 cents, 5 cents of which was
to be retained until a decision had been
given by the Board of Arbitration,
would be satisfactory. They were in
clined to believe tlre.t a settlement of
some hind would be made within few
days. They still contend, however,
that f an agreement is reached at the
miners terms, the benefit will be only
temporary, and the rate will go down
again as soon as lake navigation closes.
A large meeting of producers was
held at the Monongahela House this
afternoon, the object being to formulate
some plans for ending the srtike. Ar
rangements are to be made to bring
about meeting with the lake shippers
for the purpose of making an effort to
fix prices on terms that will be accept
able 10 the miners officials.
J. w. Shields, a member of the COM
mittee appointed yesterday to arrange
for the meeting, said the members will
visit all the leading shippers and urge
them to attend the general meeting,
which will probably he held to-mor-
row.
He believes something will be done
to end the strike without resorting to
the severe measures outlined by the
large operators.

STRIKE IN IOWA.
Nearly All the Miners in the Des
Moines District Go Out.

DIES MONIES Qa), Sept 1.-The
threatened miners strike in this dis
trict eliminated to-day, and all the
miners, except about 200 employed in
Christy, Flint Valley and Des Moines
Coal and Mining Company's mines went
out, following the lead of the Carbon
dale miners several days ago. 1t was
decided at a meeting held to-day 10
stand by the demand for 81 a ton. A
Conference Committee was appointed to
confer with the operators. About 800
men are out.
The opera ators issued statement a
few days ago refusing to grant the
price asked by the miners, and it is
reasonably certain they will not give in.
The present price is 10 and so cents,
and the operators may grant 50 cents,
with a possibility of going to 90 cents.

Price of Silver Declines.

NEW YORK, Sept Bar silver
made new record in this market to-
day. The quoted price was 51Ac an
ounce, 14c below the previous low
record. The fall is accounted for by
the suspension of the sale of India
consol bonds for ten weeks. This is
equivalent to shutting off the supply
of exchange on India, and is likely to
result in a rise of Indian exchange to
the gold shipment point, and is regard
ed as removing one of the sustaining
factors to the price of silver.
