Gem, Idaho, June ga new complica-
tion has arisen in connection with the
revival Of work in the Canyon creek prop
critics. New men who have applied for
work complain that they have been re-
jected by shift bosses, and the implication
is that the bosses are working in sympathy
with the unions in trying to keep new
men from getting employment. Yesterday
and today complaints Of that sort have
been numerous, and the applicants are
indignant at the failure OF their efforts to
get work.
Under the union rules when miner be-
comes boss he is not permitted to at
tend union meetings, but he continues
payment Of his dues, and is still mem
ber Of the federation.
As consequence, some shift bosses are
likely to have more or less sympathy with
the union.
Nearly all Of Canyon Creek turned out
to attend the funeral at Wallace Of Mike
L. Devine, who died Of pneumonia in the
prison hospital at Wardner.
About 300 men were in line with mourn
ing badges of the miners unions and the
Knights Of Labor. The Red men, Of
whom the deceased had been one, also
took part in the ceremonies.

strange Series Of Disasters.

Arthur, Ill, June Gone boy drowned,
a little girl fatally injured beneath the
hoofs of horses, two women and man
brought to deaths door by the shocks Of
the accidents, all incidents accompanying
the funeral Of man who met with sud-
den death, made Sunday a remarkable
one in this city.
The strange chain Of disasters began
when the local G. A. R. post buried c. P.
Wells, who was asphyxiated by gas in a
hotel Wednesday night. While the cere-
mony was in progress at the cemetery,
news reached Gus Baker that his l3-year.
old son had just been drowned while
swimming. The shock prostrated Mr..
Baker and he had to be taken home in q
carriage. When the news was broken to
his wife, she went frantic and became un.
conscious. Both are in q precarious con-
dition.
While the funeral procession was return.
ing from the cemetery one Of the carriages
ran over Mrs. William Sullivan's little 2
year-old daughter, mangling her in hor.
rible manner.
Miss O. L. Clark, witness to the latter
accident, tainted and was carried to the
nearest house, where she lay for four hours
before recovering sufficiently to be re-
moved to her home.

Medical Lake, Wash, June 5.-W. P.
George, guest at the Alhambra hotel,
was found dead in his room. He went to
bed the night before apparently as well
as usual, and about 7 o'clock in the morn
ing Mr.. Pape, who occupied the next room,
heard him snore. Not presenting himself
for breakfast the chambermaid knocked
at his door and receiving no answer left,
thinking he had oversight. When his room
was entered at noon he was found dead.
All the circumstances go against the sup
position that he committed suicide. It is
conjectured that he died Of heart disease
brought on by rheumatism, from which
he was suffering.

Paris, June 6.-There were violent
scenes in the chamber of deputies yester-
day afternoon, owing to the royalist de-
nunciations of President Loubet.
Soldiers on duty had to expel the chief
anti-Loubet speaker, M Rious de LAgen-
taye After de Lagentaye had been re-
moved the session was resumed.
M. Lagone asked what measures were to
be taken by the government in the future.
The premier replied that after yesterdays
incidents his first step was to address a
respectful greeting to the nations elect
and to the firm citizen who was and re-
mains the guarty Of the republican COM
munity." (Cheers).

The san Poll Road.

Republic, Wash, June 5.-Good pro-
gress is being made in constructing the
San Poll wagon road. There are several
miles of it that can be Travelled with
wgaons, but the easiest part has been
constructed first. Plows and scrapers have
done the work 60 far. There will be very
little blasting necessary between Republic
and the West fork, but there is great
deal of it that is over very rocky ground
and there is also good deal Of slide rock
on the route.

WILL MAKE No CONCESSIONS.
THE PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM.
The President Of the. Philippine Com
mission Recommended Moderation
Oregon Regiment to be Mustered Out
I'm Portland New Cable Laid.

New York, June IA special from
Washington says:
President Schurman Of the Philippine
commission, in dispatch to Secretary
Hay, has, it is believed, recommended
more liberal concessions to the Filipinos,
with view of ending the insurrection at
once.
An official acquainted with the message
said it reviewed the situation in the ISL
ands and was of an encouraging nature.
The dispatch was considered by the presi-
dent and Secretary Hay, and the president
has sent reply. The nature Of the ans
wer is not divulged.
1t is significant, however, that coinci-
dent with his message to Mr.. Schurman, q
cablegram was sent to General Otis with
instructions in line with the presidents q
belief that the restoration Of peace can
only be reached by the complete subjugl-
tion Of the Nlipinos. General Otis will
continue his military operations through
out the rainy season.
1t is apparent that the president does
not look for the close Of the rebellion un-
til the Nlipinos are convinced Of the mill
tary superiority Of the United States. The
concessions already offered are liberal, the
administration believes, and as far as the
president can go without authority from
congress, and it is doubtful if the new
propositions made by the commission have
received his approval.
The war department is preparing plans
to send the 5000 men needed by General
Otis to make up the 10000 which he says
he must have in order to control the stu.
alton. Regiments will probably be with.
drawn from Cuba and Porto Rico, suf.
ficient with other regulars to be taken
from the United States to make up the
number desired.
General Otis advises the war department
that the Oregon regiment will leave fol
the United States this week. It will be
sent direct to Portland, Ore, for muster.
ing out at Vancouver barracks.
The state department has telegraphic in
formation that the arrangement made by
General Otis with the cable company ope
rating in the Philippines for establishing
direct cable communication between noilc
and Cebu, has been successfully accom-
plished and it is now open for business.

Indian. Were Drowned.

Layagan, Alberta, June 5.-Between IS
and 30 Indians including men, women and
children, were drowned in the Lake of the
Clouds, near the Canadian Pacific railway,
while crossing to the reservation to attend
potlatch. They were travelling in boats
rudely manufactured of cariboo skins when
when two long boats collided. Both were
rendered useless and the entire party lost.
The third boat, bearing the skins Of deer,
bear, ETC., manned by four Indians,
reached the spot as the last survivor
slipped from the capsized boats and dis
appeared into the glacier-fed waters Of the
lake,

London, June "a special dispatch
from Manila says it is reported Aguinaldo
has dissolved the Filipino congress and
proclaimed himself dictator.
The Rebels Scattered.
tManila, June 9.-Adjutant Q. General,
Washington: The result Of the move
ments in Morong province was to drive
the insurgents into the mountains, cap
turing Antipoli and other towns in that
section. They retreated and scattered be-
fore our advance, leaving rs dead on the
field Our loss is four killed and few
wounded, mostly slight. The city Of Mo-
rong is garrisoned. AL other troops are
withdrawn.
'Inhabitants Of the provinces profess
friendship, and ask protection. Large
numbers wish to enter Manila, but were
refused, as the city's population is increas-
ing too rapidly. The leading natives
about the island, including active insur-
gent leaders, ask permission to send their
families to Manila, as it is considered the
only place Of personal security"
The conclusions drawn by the war de-
partment officials concerning the condi-
tion in the Philippines, given in the dis
patch Of General Otis, are that the in
surgents are little more than marauding
band which will continually decrease when
the men find there is life and liberty un-
der American government. The people
who are coming into the American line
asking protection are considered like those
who sought protection in the forts during
the early stages Of American development
in the west.
Nothing is said as to the intention Of
Otis to continue active hostilities, but
this matter is left wholly to his discretion
and he will no doubt fight or rest as the
circumstances determine.
Return of the Volunteers.
The Oregons request to defer the time
of their departure until the 18th. They
will leave for Portland on the transports
Ohio and Newport. The Sixth infantry's
arrival will relieve the Californians at
Negros. The Hancock sails in few days
with the Nebraska and other troops.
General Otis has been advised that it il
the wish Of the president that all arrange
ments be made to give the returning
troops comfortable voyage and that the
best care Of them be taken so that nc
sickness may break out among them.
1t is also said that precautions will bt
taken not to load the transports too heav-
lily SO that the returning troops may have
plenty Of room.
The battleship Oregon will soon be sta
toned off Dagupan, in the gulf Of Lin
gayen, on blockade duty.

a MINISTER in London has been
preaching on the love of money in
America and the marriages for
money which take place here, says
the Baltimore American. He has
not carefully investigated the
frank aud open title market in his
own country or he would not be SO
virtuously indignant over the
American fondness for the al
mighty dollar. There is scarcely
broken-down noble house in
England which does not hope to
redeem its fortunes by marriage
with an American fortune. Per-
haps the disposition lately evinced
by American heiresses to keep
their millions at home has some
thing to do with the outbreak of
British wrath over our mercenarv
