RIOTOUS MINERS WARNED.
Governor Mount Gives Notice to Law
 less Coal Diggers of Washington.

Washington, Ind, Feb. 18.-The ac- tion of Governor Mount in insisting that the imported negro miners who, whenever they are paid their wages, get drunk and terrorize the people, shall not be allowed to carry arms, is the subject of much comment.
 The governor said that the repeated presence of the armed negroes in the streets is not to be tolerated. The striking white miners are becoming g less inclined to be peaceable as the sentiment of the people grows in favor of driving the negroes out of the com munfty, and the next time the ne groes go about the streets with their drawn revolvers there is likely to be pitched battle.

Washington, Feb. 18.-The feature of the day at the navy department was the large number of rumors of war like tendency that came to the at tention of the officials requiring atten- tion and in every case receiving con- tradiction. So formidable had the list grown that at the close of office hours the following statement as the easiest manner of disposing at one time of all these stories:
 Really no information has been re- ceived since Captain Sigsbee's first dispatch, adding anything to our knowledge of the disaster. All we know is that the Maine blew up. There is abundant room for specula- tion of all sorts, but no conclusion can be arrived at until an examination has been made by the divers and more facts obtained. It is a simple fact to say that such thing might happen by design or it might happen by acci- dent. As yet there IS no indication
 
 has been all along, and I rather think the general opinion preponderates in the same direction, that it must have been accidental.
 "At the cabinet meeting today the matter was not discussed except as any body of men talk about an event of that kind. Most of the talk re- lated to the loss of life and expres- sions of sympathy for the sufferers It certainly was very kind thought in the president to send flowers to the families of Captain Sigsbee, of Execu- tive Officer Wainwright and of the lost seamen whose residences are in Wash ington. You may say absolutely that there has been no secret cabinet meet. ing and nothing has taken place in the cabinet that the public has not been informed about; that the whole policy of this department has been tc give the public all dispatches; that the department has no more knowledge or the subject of the cause of the dis aster or even of the circumstances at tending it than has the public; ant that the report which was to the eff feet that Capain Sigsbee had beel warned that the Maine was In dange from submarine mines or a torpedo i utterly without foundation, no sucl report ever having been received fror him or anybody else"
 The secretary also denied brief and comprehensively the wild rumor that he had requested the chief of pc lice of New York to guard the Vizcay

MOVEMENT FOR EIGHT HOURS.
Wisconsin Federation of Labor Takes
 Action on Short Day.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 1S.-An im- portant movement for the establish ment of an eight-hour work day in all the trades has been started here.
 The executive boards of the Wis consin Federation of Labor, the Fed erated Trades Council and the Build ing Trades Council started the ball rolling These committees represent trades unions which have a member ship of about 10000 in this city. The members claim that their organiza tions were never in better condition than they are at present and that they feel confident that if they make a united demand for a short work day they are in a position to enforce it. It was the general opinion that it would not be necessary to inaugural ) a strike to do so.
 The meeting adopted resolutions favoring the abolishment of the sub contract system on city contracts and the inserting of a clause in all such contracts forbidding the contractors to work the men more than eight hours. The meeting indorsed the bill in congress providing for a na- tional eight-hour law and the bills providing for greater protection of seamen and restricting the brutality of captains, the forbidding of prison labor competing with free labor and the abolishment of government by in- functions.

No WHITEWASH IN THIS.
4 Unitarian Pastor Alarms the Alger
RELIEF Hoard.

From The Times Tuesday Evening Edtion)
Cincinnati, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Enquirer from Chattanooga today says:
"A sensational episode occurred Sunday
night before the War Investigation Com
mission. Rev. Marion Ham. of this city
, pastor of the Unitarian Church, a Re-
publican in politics, had been asked to
appear before the Commission. Only Gen.
Dodge. Gen. Sexton and DR.. Connor were
present. Mr.. Ham proceeded TO tell of
the Nunns case. He said: ''Nunns a pri-
vate in the Ninth. New York, laid In
a hospital tent over twenty-four hours
after death, perfectly nude. The body
had been opened, and when ! saw it. II
was fiy-blown and the maggots were
teeming in the ear, under the arms and
out of the eyes,
At this point DR.. Connor. who had been
conducting the examination, it is charg-
ed. launched into TRADE against Chat
tanooga in general. and the ministers of
the city in particular. He accused the
ministers of Chattanooga OF gross neglect
of duty when they failed to call mass meet
ings for the purpose of preventing crime,
making the statement that Chattanooga
people had imported thousands of wom-
en- to debauch the soldiers.
This aroused Mr.. Ham, and he said:
DIR. CoRnor. was led to believe that you
were here to investigate the abuses at
Chickamauga, and not to investigate and
pronounce Judgment on the people or
ministers of Chattanooga. / have some
important testimony bearing on your in
auiry. things l saw with my own eyes,
and to which l am willing to be qualified.
If you are not to whitewash certain
things that transpired at Chickamauga.
you are going beyond your authority and
the scope of your inquiry in your Wilt
tication of our people"
This rejoinder made matters worse and
the doctor started in in fresh phiiippic
on Chattanooga people and ministers.
when Ham arose and left He was asked
by Gen. Dodge TO submit his testimony
in writing to the board. but refused.
