History of Trouble.
The labor troubles in the Occur
dAlene mining district are of long
standing and have been the subject of
much discussion in labor organizations
throughout the United States. In July.
1892, the Frisco mill was blown up
with dynamite by a mob and five men
killed For several days a reign of ter
ror existed throughout the Occur
d'Alene district, but United States
troops were ordered to the scene and
for many months martial law prevailed.
An attempt was made to convict the
guilty ones. but every trial resulted in
acquittal After the United States
troops were withdrawn lawless acts
became frequent and many citizens
were terroriZed and in several instances
men were assassinated. All the mines
except the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
employed union labor, and the Miners
union demanded that the company dis
charge all non-union men and employ
union men. This the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan company refused>to do
On April 20 of this year mob of
Loco men took possession of a railroad
train at Wallace and went TO Wardner.
where they blew up the mill of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan company
with dynamite, destroying a quarter OF
million dollars worth of property
and killing two men.
United States troops were ordered to
the scene. under command of Brigadier
General II. c. Merriam. Martial law
was declared and about 200 men were
arrested.
All were released except about thirty
of the leaders. who are still confined in
the stockade at Wardner. The state
district court took M the cases and

FOSTER CLAIMS STATE.
Ohio Ex-Governor Says Nash Will
Be Elected.

Cincinnati. Nov. 1.-The most signifi-
cant event in the Ohio campaign since
yesterday is the prediction made by ex-
Governor Charles Foster, who has been
speaking throughout the state. He esti-
mates the total vote of the state at
975, 000 of which Nash (Rep0, will get
not less than $4,000; Mclean -(Dem),
not more than 10000, and Jones (Non-
partisan). and all others win divide the
remainder. Yet Mr.. Foster said there
was a strong probability that Jones
would cut down this estimate on the
leading candidates. but if he did. three
fourths of. the cutting would be on the
Mclean vote. Mr.. Foster predicts the
Republicans viii secure both houses of
the legislature.
A peculiar feature of the campaign
has been the use by both parties of ut
terances of ex-senator John Sherman
Sherman had warm feeling for Judge
Nash. and these papers have published
kilograms from him showing that feel
ing. One printed today. addressed to
Chairman Dick of the Republican state
committee. says:
Il feel the deepest solicitude for the
election of Judge Nash. 1t will mean
victory for sound money and prosper
ity."
1t is also well known that Mr. Sher-
man has a cordial feeling for President
Mckinley and Senator Hanna, and that
he openly antagOnizes the president S
Philippine policy. Hence. Democratic
papers have been publishing interviews
and dispatches from ex-senator Sher-
man. indicating his position in that re-
gard. One of the latter, addressed to
the editor of an Ohio Democratic paper,
contains the following:
Il am strongly opposed to the enforc-
ed annexation of the Philippine islands.
The seizure of any part of the Philip
pines against their will is an aggressive
violation of the laws of nations"
1t is claimed by Republicans that the
alienation of Republicans who disagree
with the administration on the Philip
pine question will be more than offset
by the Democrats who believe in up
holding the government and who oppose
