The Legislature will do nothing to
complete the wagon road down Little
Salmon and complete communication
overland between south and north
Idaho. They will probably dish up
some pudding for teachers in the
useless and eating normal
schools, but they will not develop
the state. Their plea is that if the
railroad goes, the people of Wash

that they can build the road for the

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 16.-Both sides
announced themselves ready this morn

conspiracy to attempt to bride legis-
lative members. The days proceed

curious of spectators could have hoped.
Hunter is concerned has all along
whether Hunter was, on the night of
April 1, at the home of Noel Gaines.
one of the defendants, and the man
who says he was trying to trap Hun
ter and defeat his plan for election as
senator. Hunter has always bitterly
denied and still denies, and will swear
that he was never in the Gaines house
or even knew the man.
Thomas Tanner, a brother-in-law of
Gaines and one of the defendants. was
dismissed Immediately by the prosecu-
ton and went on the witness stand this
afternoon and told in Hunters pres
ence with the ninutest detail how, on
the request of Hunter he piloted the
latter to Gaines home, and heard part
of their conversation.
Gaines and his wife have before the
grand jury. told the same story. and
Tanners testimony this afternoon re-
ceived the confederation of circumstan-
tial evidence given by other witnesses

WOMEN ARE TROUBLESOME.
Largely Responsible For the State of
Affairs at Hazleton.

Hazeton. Pa. Sept. 16-The American
Federation of Labor has taken up the
cause of the mine workers in. this region.
Their organizers are already at work
here and when this has been completed a
uniform scale will be formulated and pre-
sented to the operators. There will be no
marching or anything in the nature of a
demonstration and no attempt win be
made to bring about sympathetic strike
movements. The work of organization is
being done by the sending of emissaries
from mine to mine and every effort is be-
ing made to avoid the appearance of
demonstration.
The peace prevailing during the past
few, days was broken today by con-
dIcL between striking and working miners,
which for a time threatened to be Sc
rious. A body of $50 men and boys, led
the Carson. Star and Monarch collieTies
at Honey Brook, near Audenried. The
women. as we'll as their followers. were
armed with clubs and stones. and before
out the missiles were used. Some of
the women stationed themselves on the
top of a eulm bank and pelted the work
men with stones. One Hungarian was
dubbed over the head and badly injured.
The encounter was the result of an at
tempt to start up the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre mines Despite the determination
to remain until decision regarding the
10 per cent demand was received, a num-
Der of Hungdrtans and Italians reported
for work this morning. AS soon as this
Brook the attack was made each colliery
being visited in turn The superintendent
called for the assistance of Sheriff Scott
and that official made a demand on Cen
erIal Goblin. a battalion of the Eighrh
regiment hurried TO the scene. but it
was over and the men scattered when
the soldiers reached there. The troops
were marched back to camp. The soldiers
had not been out of sight ten minutes be-
fore a crowd of strikers bounced upon
g. squad of Hungarians who were SCREEN
ing coal near the Star washery, and
forced them to QUIT.
This second movement resulted in the
sending of a SQUADRON Of the governors
troop to the disturbed district this after
noon. They returned this evening with
the result that all was quiet Honey
Brook being beyond the jurisdiction of
Luzerne county, the sheriff has made a
reuuisftion on Governor Hastings for a
permanent body of troops. Another at
tempt to resume work will be made at
these collieries tomorrow. There was no
change today in the condition of the
wounded men at the hospital. Governor
Hastings tonight sent a message to Cen
eral Goblin ordering him to suppress all
meetings Which have a tendency to incite
riot. This will doubtless prevent the pro-
posed labor meeting scheduled for next
Saturday night.
A meeting of the comnitte to arrange
for the prosecution of Sheriff Martin and
the deputies was held tonight but little
information was given out. Funds are
coming in from various labor organfZa-
tons and it was stated that "the best
counsel in the country will be employed"

New Quartz Lodges Discovered on
the Yukon River.


Seattle. Wash, Sept. 16.-The steamer
Farrallon arrived this morning from
Skaguay and Dyea with so passengers.
who have given up the attempt to reach
the Yukon gold fields this winter. G.
T. Shaw, representing an English syn
dictate, accompanied by party of
seven, took passage on the Farrallon
from Fort Wrangel and are in Seattle.
, He has been prospecting on the divide
between Cassiar and the head waters
of the Yukon emptying into Teslin
lake. He reports the existence of large
quartz lodges of the same grade as the
Treadwell, but it cannot be worked with
profit on account of not being able to
get machinery. Mr.. Shaw says that
these difficulties will be overcome by
the construction of the Cassiar Central
and Teslin Lake railways, which are
now being surveyed by the Canadian
government on the Stickeen river. Shaw
believes that Fort Wrangel will be the
point of departure for all the goods
and machinery that will be sent into
t1,at part Of the country. He intends
sending in an outfit of 90 men via Fort
Wrangel the Stickeen river and Teslin
lake next spring, with instructions to
prospect the more remote districts of
the head waters of the Yukon imrnedi-
ately adjacent to the old Cassiar gold
diggings. The placers on this divide
have undoubtedly derived their quart
reefs in the immediate vicinity, as
Shaw has in his possession a quantity
of placer gold which is quite unworn
and full of quartz. The purser of the
FarraIlon says that there is a scarcity
of boats at Lake Bennett, and that
they are bringing upwards of $500
each None of the returning miners
had heard anything of the reported
lynching of alleged thieves on Skaguay
trail by Yigilantes.

various Estimates Given.

San Grancisco, Sept. 16.-owing to
the reticence of the miners and mint
officials, the exact amount of gold
brought down from the Klondike re-
gion by the So passengers on the Elk
celsior yesterday cannot be definitely
ascertained. When the steamer first
arrived it was reported at the Mer-
chants Exchange that she had brought
down $500, 600 in treasure, but some
idea of the difficulty in ascertaining
the facts may be gathered from the
fact that although she was boarded
by swarm of newspaper men, no two
of the papers of this city agree as to
the amount of the miners wealth. The
Bulletin estimated it at S500,000, the
Post at 100000, the Report at s1,000,-
at more than 100000 and the Chronicle
at less than 81 600 600
