wardner. Ida, May 2.-Yesterday the
body of Jack Smith, who was killed by
his brother rioters, was brought down
from the Miners Union hall at Burke
and is at Wallace in charge of an un-
dertaker named by Coroner France. The
remains will be brought here in time
for the inquest This will be held at 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Unless the
soldiers have arrived in the meantime
the inquest may be postponed. tele-
phone message from Manager Burke
ridge. of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan,
directed that the old force stay togeth-
er here in expectation of the revival of
work. Excavation of the ruins of the
mill disclosed the fact that the vault
and safe had been successfully blown
open by the rioters before the building
itself was destroyed. Only a few smoul-
dering ashes were found within the safe.
The loss to the company from the de-
struction of hundreds of valuable doc
uments will be immense.
Troops Under Orders for wardner.
Pending the arrival of the troops the
town is in state of strained suspense.
What heightens the anxiety is the gen
eral doubt as to when the troops will ar
rive. In the absence of troops it would
be folly to attempt the resumption of
work at the Bunker Hill under nom
union control Any attempt to do so
would assTredly result in a revival of
the riots of 1892. Outbreaks like that
of Saturday could be repeated as often
and violently as the strikers may
desire. State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair,
the special representative of of Govern
or Steunenberg. arrived here yesterday.
He declares emphatically for law and
order. a telephone message from

not known what policy may be decided

affected are looked on as being very
grave, but the state authorities have
refrained from discussing them or any
plans contemplated for meeting them.

Report Says That He Has Made
OYertures to Otis for
Peace.

tured Yorktown Onicers.
New York, May 2.-The Journal S
Manila dispatch says Aguinaldo has
made overtures for peace, Col. Argue
leses. of the envoys sent to the Amer
ican lines, having presented proPo-
sition directly from Aguinaldo. This
proposition, the Journal saws, is the
same as that heretofore made, namely,
an armistice until the Filipino con-
gress meets and decides whether the
Filipino army shall surrender. Otis
declined and, the dispatch says, told
Argueleses that it was useless for the
Filipinos to return unless they came
prepared to accede to the American
demands.
Prisoners Are Safe.
Manila, May 2.-The first authentic
Information regarding the Yorktown
boat crew, captured on the east coast
of LuzOn, was received today from
Gen. Luna. 1t is in the form of q
list of the missing men signed by
Lieut.. Gilmore. He reports that the
party was brought across the noun
tains from Baler.
Arguel and Bernal, of Luna's staff,
returned here today to renew and
press the request of Luna for a cessa-
tion of hostilities. Their proposals to
Otis differed but little from the first
propositions. They represent Agui-
naldO as powerless to surrender the
army; that congress must decide the
question, and express themselves as
confident that it will decree peace. be-
cause the people desire it. They pre-
sented letter from Mabini, president
and minister of foreign affairs, in
Aguinaldo's cabinet, and who is the
backbone of the Filipino organiza-
tion. The letter is personal and un-
official, and seconds the ENJOYS argu-
nents. They sleep in Manila tonight
AID see Otis again tomorrow.

of strikes inaugurated yesterday, but
not so man. as in previous years, nor

ferent trades. AT Springfield. Ills. the
men in the Springfield Boiler works
struck because they wanted a steward
appointed for the works by the boiler

small strikes in score of other cities,
