the sessions Of her legislature as d
necessary infiiction, just like measles
ot grasshoppers, and to congratulate
herself that it only comes once in two
years. The only difference Is that the
present Legislature is treating the
patientt allopathic doses of reform
which are causing her to gag.
In the contest we spoke of last
week between the governor and the
Legislature, the governor won first
blood, as he forced the Legislature tc
pass an appropriation for all the state
employees for the first four months,
The legislature however had made
thair own appropriation large enough
to pay their salaries for the entire
session, aud it Is now believed they
hold the best hand in the game. a
bill has been introduced by the ma
iority, which if passed will be the
most drastic measure of economy eg-
er attempted in Colorado. The bill
is far reaching in its effect, striking
state officers and employees alike and
touching every department of the
state government The saving to the
taxpayers OF the state under this bill
viii be about 100000 each year
and its passage will cover a multi
tude Of the shortcomings of this as
sembly. Every department at the
capitol is fairly oyerrun with clerks
drawing fat salaries and having
nothing to do but spend their wages,
This bill will turn them loose to earn
their living, and the saving to the
state will IN few years pay the in.
debtedness, which they have been
trying to get the people to vote
bonds to pay.
The work of the two houses this
week was confined chiefly to the in.
PRODUCTION of bills. As the time foi
the introduction of bill is nearing Its
close there is a great rush on the part
of the statesmen to get in their pet
schemes before it is everlastingly toe
late. Over 500 have been introduced
in the lower honse, and over 400 il
the senate, and the wheels and crank;
are still whirring in hundred head;
as they grind out more.
Another thing that the people o.
the state can congratulate themselve.
about is the small possibility of any
Legislation being passed, for any bill
that could secure majority of thi:
stupendous aggregation Of genius

The Indians on the reservation, II is
alleged, are very anxious to get rid Of
Cramsie, and when they heard that
there would probably be change, they
raised fund to send delegation here
to u1ge the president to send them
another agent. Cramsie got wind of
this, and, by use Of his power, pre-
vented the tribe from taking the action
they proposed. 1t is furthermore
charged that the Indians on the reser-
walton are rapidly lapsing into bar
barism, and that year by year the
acreage of garden md field crops is
steadily decreasing. Ten years ago
large crops Of wheat and corn were
planted. This year the acreage planted
has dwindled down to almost nothing.
Potatoes, seed corn, oats, &C., when
issued, are promptly traded off or are
either fed to their stock or eaten up
by the Indians. Cramsie, it is claimed,
is violently opposed to white men
coming upon the reservation, and has
frequently made them travel over a
hundred miles out of their way to
avoid trespassing en- his territory.
This naturally incenses the whites,
and frequent rows between them and
the agency officials have been the re-
suit.

THROWN OUT OF A HOTEL.
West Superior Man Overstepped Limits
of St Louis Hospitality.

st. Louis, July Ill. L. Fulton of
West Superior, Wis, was rudely eject
ed from the Planters hotel Friday.
Mr.. Fulton is the Milwaukee agent for
st. Louis brewery, and according to
the statements of the hotel officials the
Wisconsin man was found sleeping
rather too sound in one of the big easy
plush chairs in the lobby of the swell
hOstelry. Detective O'Connor woke him
up and told him to leave, but Mr.. Full
ton lapsed back in pleasant slumber
again. Again O'Connor told him to
leave, whereupon, so it is alleged, Mr..
Fulton became abusive. Several por-
tiers were hen called and succeeded in
getting the badger to leave his coy
nook, although not without a lively
scrimmage.
Mr.. Fulton said he did nothing what
ever to bother the hotel people, and in
sisted that the action of O'Connor and
his assistants was entirely unprovoked.
He says he will apply for warrant for
assault and battery against O'Connor.
He said he was perfectly sober at the
time.

MINERS STILL FIRM
THEY'RE CONFIDENT OF WIN.
MING THEIR STRIKE.
NOTHING TO ARBITRATE'

for a Compromise with the Men
Everything Is Quiet in the Affected
District-Coal lakes Big Bound
in Value.

Pittsburg, July 11.-President Ratch-
ford left the city quietly Saturday
night for his home in Massilon, Ohio.
A protracted meeting OF the district
executive board OF the United Mine
Workers was held Saturday afternoon.
1t was decided to take aggressive &C
ton at once, with a view OF making
the suspension total in this district if
possible by tomorrow or Tuesday.
Reports regarding the mining situation
in the Mononganela valley have been
misleading ~ a great extent. A dis
patch from Monongahela city says that
no unusual demonstration has taken
place in that district yet. Work there
has been suspended in nearly every
mine, leaving at least rs mines idle and
affecting on an average Of $50 men at
each mine. The miners of the Wheel
ing division were paid Saturday for the
two weeks ending July 1. Contrary to
expectations, there was no disorder at
any Of the company's offices. Finley
vile, practically the center of the mines
in that division, was quiet as a village.
The miners along the Wheeling div1-
sion are in a fairly prosperous condi-
ton. Notwithstanding certain stories
Of destitution The men all affirm that
they will not touch pick or shovel
until President Ratchford sanctions
their return to work.
Over $500 men scattered along the
Baltimore & Ohio road il this region
are idle because of the suspension. A
canvass of the operators just made on
the arbitration suggestion made by the
labor leaders conference showed that
with the exception of Col. Rend, not
an oprator seen favored arbitration at
this time.
There was furry in the coal market
Saturday. Before the strike coal was
quoted at 70 cents per ton. Saturday it
was difficult to buy it at a $3.50 a ton.

TEA FARMING.
Secretary Wilson Receives a Report
on the Industry in the United States.

Washington, July 11.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has received a re-
port from a veteran horticulturist
whom he sent recently to investigate
the tea farming industry carried on at
SGmmerville, S. c., with a view of
ascertaining the prospects Of prof.
table growth Of the tea plant in this
country should it be decided to intro
duce it here as an industry. The re-
port says the labor question is the
most important one in the economics
OF this business in this country 1t
estimates the minimum cost about
eight times as much to pick one pound
Of tea in South Carolina as that paid
for the same service in Asia
The profitable production of leaf, it
is pointed out, depends upon rainfall,
or moisture in the SOIL IL districts
favored with sufficient heat and rains
plants furnish from Is to 20 pickings
yearly. IN the South Carolina fields
which were inspected the conservation
of moisture by draining is enhanced
by systematic surface culture, which
largely prevents the evaporation of
moisture from the upper stratum of
the soil and secures a gain equivalent
to a fall of from 10 to Is inches OF
rain. The report suggests that it
seeDss impracticable to compete with
the cheap Oriental labor, and while
some of the processes of development
have been delegated to machinery the
picking Of the leaves, requiring dis
elimination in selection, has to be

interested himself personally in the
case of Mrs. Maybrick, and as ambas-
sador of the United States has for
mally petitioned the crown for the
pardon of the woman. The question
Of the guilt or Innocence of the pris-
oner is not considered in Colonel
Hays petition. It is simply a request
Oh the part of many American people,
through their accredited representa-
tive, for her release. The British gov
eminent has not refused to accept the
petitioned, which is a circumstance ia
vorable to Mrs. Maybrick, since other
petitions have been refused.
Ambassador Hay handed the petition
to the head of the department to which
he is accredited, Lord Salisbury ac-
krowledged it's receipt, and Informed
Colonel Hay that ne had presented it
to the home secretary, Sir Matthew
White Ridley. There the matter rests
at present.

ANARCHISTS TO MEET.
Secure Haymarket Square Under Guise
of Meeting of Unemployed.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 11.-Under the
gulse OF "a mass meeting of the unem-
ployed'' number of unknown Chicago
anarchists have called a meeting in the
famous Haymarket square for this
morning. The utmost secrecy has
heen observed in the preliminary ar
engagements. All local anarchists lead
ers profess entire ignorance of the
Identity of the promoters or the pur-
pose of the meeting. 1t is learned that
Lucy Parsons has beer invited to speak
and George Koop is said to be one of
the prospective orators. 1t is said an
attempt will be made to arouse public
sympathy in the inter est of the strik-
ing miners, and it has been suggested
that the time is ripe to start a SYM
pathetic movement in Chicago in sup
port of the strikers. Local labor agi-
tators are greatly interested, and a
large attendance is predicted. The po-
lice will watch the meeting closely and

CHICAGO'S VENAL COUNCILMAN
Alderman BILLY" Pow ers Mixed I'D IN
Big Scandal.

Chicago, July 9.-Thirty-five thou
sand dollars, it is charged, was paid
for the passage of the ordinance per-
hitting the General Electric company
to use the trolley instead of the under
ground system, according to rumor
In this same connection a bill has been
filed in the circuit court alleging that
the passage of the company's original
ordinance was secured by bribery and
that at least 100000 was distributed
by Alderman Powers among the gang
councilmen supporting the measure
over the mayors veto. The complain
ant in the bill, Henry Brandenburg,
details conversations he claims TO
have had with Powers, in which the
alderman demanded $E50,000 as the
price of the passage CT the ordinance
and stated that he controlled fifty-twO
votes in the city council. Powers is
made defendant in the bill on the
ground that he is financially interested
in che General Electric.
