. few mines ut once under the protec-
ton of deputies, and whatever expense
may result will be shared pro rata by
the mine owners. This scheme to start
the mines was adopted to break the ma
Honal strike in 1894. President Dolan,

believe the movement will be success
this time, as the strikers IRE more in

May Cause Trouble.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 19.-The decision
reached by the operators of the Pitts
burgh district at their conference Tues
day night to open their mines regard
less of the consequences will probably
cause serious trouble. According to To-
cal coal men it is the intention of the
Pittsburgh operators to engage Pink
erton men to protect their nonunion
men. This action on their part will
probably precipitate terrible climax
to the great strike, and the operators
admit that blood will probably flow.
In speaking of the probable result of
the operators decision, Lotus Cuddy,
OF the Cuddy-Mullen Coal company,
said: IF it is found necessary to do SO
a whole army of detectives will be EN-
pioyed to protect our men, and if the
worst comes they will be supplied with
Calling guns and other equipments to
convince the strikers that we mean
business. There will be no delay in in-
augurating this movement"

Hillsboro, Ill.,, to the Post Dispatch
says: "Gen." Bradley, the leader of
the little body of miners who invaded
the town of Cofeen Tuesday, and was
hustled over to this city Tuesday even
ing and put in Jail, will be released on

notwithstanding the invaders still oc-

Can't Pay Higher Wages.
Chicago, Aug 10. - a conference Of
Illinois and Indiana coal operators, at
which all the principal ones were pres
ent, was held in the Rookery building
on Wednesday morning and an
hour or more was spent in talk
ing over the strike situation.
The opinion seemed to be unani-
nous that there would be no resulnp-
ton of work at prices higher than those
paid when the strike was ordered. 1t
was stated that any other course was
impossible owing to the outstanding
contracts which do not expire until
May next. A large proportion of the
output OF the mines, it was said is UNI
der contract, and in many districts there
are formal contracts, signed by the OPP
orators and miners, fixing definite
wages. We're the price now demanded
paid. it was claimcd, the small margin
of profit would be more than absorbed.
Unless these contracts for coal nre car
ried out the party failing is liable to

will be no further delay in the delivery
of all cigarette and cigar stamps that
may be ordered delivered. A large
quantity were shipped to New York
Thursday and at present there ure no

measure, was caused by the breaking of
one Of the plates. The fact, too, that
the new law went into immediate effect

Denver, Col, Aug. 16.-It is probable
that the great silver mines at Creole,
Col, will be closed down on account Of
the low price of silver unless railroad
and smelling rates are reduced. Sew
eral conferences have been held be-
tween the mine owners and the smelter
and railroad officials, and it is said the
latter evinced a disposition to make
every concession possible in order to
keep the mines in operation. 1t is also
understood that the miners at Creole
are willing to accept reduction of
wages from three dollars per day Of
eight hours to $2.75 in wet mines and
$3.50 in dry, rather than have the mines

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 1s.-A special
from Oklahoma City, .. T., says: Pas
senger train No. 4O5. south bound, ON
the Santa Fe, in charge of Conductor
Beers and Engineer Raines, was held
up at 1915 Tuesday morning between
here and Edmond by half dozen
masked highwaymen. A charge OF
dynamite placed beneath the Wells
Fargo safe failed to open it. However,
It is said, the robbers secured between
$500 and 5000 from valuable packages
in the local safe and escaped. The pas
sengers were not molested.
A later report says the robbers seI
cured no booty. The train was in charge
of Conductor Beers and Engineer
Raines in the cab. When about three
miles out two masked men climbed over
the tender and, at the point of q ro1
volver, ordered the engineer to stop tbs
train. The command was speedily
obeyed. From out of the grass at the

as Conductor Beers, the brakeman and
several passengers started forward to
ascertain the cause of the stoppage they
were met with the order: Hands upl"
They lined up alongside the track with
the engineer and fireman. Shots from
Winchesters terrorized the passengers,

Two dynamite shots were tried on the
safe, but neither succeeded in opening

After consulting together, the robbers

The funeral was a most touching and
solemn ceremony. All the troops Of
the garrison lined the route along
which the cortege moved, the flags
were lowered and the public buildings,
embassies, consulates and clubs were
heavily draped with Grape. More than
thousand wreaths were deposited in
the death chamber. A salvo of artil-
lery announced the starting of the
funeral procession, which moved slowly
through an enormous crowd in which
all heads We're bare and many eyes were
weeping. peculiarly poignant scene
ensued as the duke of Sotomayor, Mar
shall Martinez Campos, Marquis Pazo
de la Merrzed and the other pallbearers
lifted the coffin. Sonora Canovas, in a
clear, firm tone, said: II desire that all
should know that forgive the assas-
sin. 1t is the greatest sacrifice can
make; but make it for the sake of
what know of my husbands great
heart"
Through the entire distance between
the death chamber and the church the
road was strewn with flowers and
laurels. Senior Sagasta headed the
,cortege, which was formed of militia,
deputies, senators, generals, admirals
and delegations representing all the
principal public bodies. The wreath of
the queen regent rested upon the coffin
and other floral tributes were carried
in special carriages. All the shops in
the city were closed and very large
proportion of the populace that
thronged the streets appeared in mourn
ing garb. The entire garrison marched
past the coffin and the service lasted
from four until 1880 p. m. The remains
of Senior Canovas were inferred in the
family vault in the St. Isidoro cemetery
amid salvos of artillery and the tolling
'of all the bells of the city.

Under Sentence Of Death.
Kansas City, Aug. 1e.-William Co
ing, or Walla Tonaka, a full-blooded
Choctaw, stood upon the platform at
the Air Line depot Saturday morning,
Joking and laughing with his Indian
companions, apparently the freest from
care and worry Of any of those about
him. Yet Walla Tonaka is under SEN
tence OF death in the Indian territory,
and unless the supreme court of his
countrymen interferes he will be shot
some time the latter part of October.
He played Indian ball with II other
Choctaws at Paramount park Saturday
afternoon. As far as general appear
ances are concerned, Going is absolute
ly indifferent to his fate. Going is
young, not over 20, and is just six feet
tall. He was first sentenced to be shot
August 8, but the time was postponed
until August 25, to allow the lower
court to act upon his application for an
appeal to the supreme court.
1t was only last Tuesday the appeal
was granted. so Going is now passing
away the time by tramping about the
country, playing ball, and probably
hoping, although he does not show it,
that the highest court of his tribe, three
Judges, will either give him a new trial
or say he is free man. Going is out
on bail, or practically the same thing,
being paroled to be on hand at the time
set for his death. Three of the tribe
David Hudson, Edmond Homer, and
William Tabb-are his bondsmen, they
having said that William would return
to Eagle county, I. t., to be shot If the
supreme council so wills it, but so far
as can be judged from the condemned
mans actions and words.the bondsmen
are entirely unnecessary, as he insists,
whatever may be his fate at the hands
of the supreme Judges, he will be on
hand to take the consequences at the ap-
pointed time. Going was convicted of
killing his uncle, Sampson Going,
deputy sheriff of Eagle county, who
attempted to arrest him while drunk.
