When all the troops arrive at Manila

COLORADO STRIKE.
Outlook Favorable for an Early
Settlement of the Trouble.

DENVER, June 16.-The outlook is
favorable tonight for an early resump-
ton of work at the trust Smelters,
which have been shut down since We'd
nesday, bringing enforced idleness to
thousands of miners and railroad en-
ployeS and threate incalculable dam
age to all the industries of the State.
Steps have been taken which will prob
ably lead to a conference between
James B. Grant, Chairman of the op-
Grating Committee of the American
Smelling and Refining Company, and
committee appointed by the Smelter-
mems Union. The employees, it is be-
lieved, will insist only that eight hour
shifts shall be granted. Mr.. Grant has
said that he will agree to this. He has
also expressed willingness to pay the
wages that are being paid at the Argo
smelter. To adjust rates according TO
the varying conditions at the different
trust smelters would require consider
able study, but if the men recede from
their demand for ten and twelve hours
pay for eight hours work, there Will
be nothing in the way of speedy and
satisfactory settlement of the trouble.
Nothing has yet developed to justify a
prosecution under the new eight hour
law, as all the men are out of the Grant
and Globe smelters, and the law is in
force at the Argo.
Over GEO miners employed at the Col
orado Fuel and Iron Company's coal
mines in the Trinidad district have
struck for ten hours pay for eight
hours work. The railroads have begun
laying off train crews on account Of
the falling off in ore shipment.
After long conference this morn
ing between Manager Newhouse Of the
Philadelphia smelter at Pueblo and
President D. c. Coates and Secretary
Robinson of the State Federation of La
Dor, it was announced that this plant
would stay in operation, and that it
would be worked to it's fullest sapacity
unless unforeseen obstacles should pre-
sent themselves. All the men employed
at this smelter are satisfied with the
new wage scale except the common la
boreTs, who demand $1.5O day. Ac-
cording to the scale they would receive
but $1.32. but Simon Guggenheim tele-
graphed the manager from New York
to-day to pay $1.40. 1t rmains to be
seen whether the laborers will accept
the compromise.

JOCKEY SLOAN.
Charged With Assaulting a Waiter
at Ascot

LONDON, June 16.-The "Star" to-
day says:
After the racing yesterday Cat Ascot
Sloan appeared on the lawn and
waiter accidentally upset a glass of
liquor over Sloan's clothing. The lat
ter instantly rose from his chair and
struck the waiter in the face with a
champagne bottle, inf1icting several
wounds No doubt the affair will be
hushed up, but it was the most un-
provoked assault ever witnessed.
The Evening News" referring to
Sloan's assault on the waiter, without
giving any name, says:
He was the guest of member of
the Sports Club. The waiter was so
injured that he was removed to the
hospital in cab. All the witnesses
cried Shame!' and ladies struck at his
assailant with parasols. As there is
only one jockey now holding license
who could be guilty of such a cowardly
and repulsive act while the guest of a
fiuous to give his name The immedi-
ate duty of the Jockey Club is to in
stitute inquiries, and if the facts arc
as stated, to forthwith withdraw the
Jockeys license"
Talking about the matter with a, rep
resentative of the Associated Press to-
day, Tod Sloan said: THE papers have
largely exaggerated the affair on Ascot
lawn. A waiter was very drunk when
1 happened on the lawn with some
friends, and he grew insulting to my
friends and myself, and a friend said

The trial, which 9fas begun on

words of instruction from the bench.
The jury after being out about fifty
minutes, rendered a verdict of guilty,

guilty, was senenced to four years i'm

Banastar has to take up twelve pounds

morrow, and won very handly.

The others are Bannockburn, George

year-old favorite in the Brooklyn, and
winner of the Metropolitan. He would
have more friends tomorrow had he
not been worked so hard this week and
sent the Suburban distance, followed
two days later by mile and half at
top speed Most of the trainers and
shorsemen think that such hard work
so sihe1t time before the race is tCo
much, and he will not have one-tenth
the number of fliends he had in the
Brooklyn handicap. There are a num-
Der of others whose chances are con-
sidered small.
The rain of last night has put the
track in the best possible condition, and
the prospects for tomorrow could not
be better. There could be no excuse
for losers beyond lack of speed and stay
ing power, and the attendance should
be record breaker. Every horse is ab-
solutely fit. and all want to prevent
Banastar from breaking a record by
getting both the two big handicaps.
