tnat she should cable him at once as soon
as she had landed. He didn't explain the

On consideration of the dispatch the h,,s-

letter contained some information on this
point and also instructions that if there
was any further occasion for cabling she
should 40 1t by the code. There were
piehtv OF codes, he wrote, and she could
not fail to find one wherever she might be.
and it would mean a considerable saving

On awakening the next morning he was
afflicted with acute headache aggravated
by pangs of remorse, but the hardest of al
to stand was the dim recollection that he

THE COEUR D'ALEME TROUBLE.

When the democratic governor of
Idaho called pom the federal govern
ment to assist him in preserving order in
the Occur d'Alenes. the war department
promptly complied with the law govern
ing such cases and placed General
Merriam and his troops at the service
of the state executive. BY state author
ity martial law was proclaimed in Sho-
shone county and lines of procedure
laid dow for the commander Of the
federal forces to follow, among other
rules and regulations being the guber-
Material decree prohibiting members Of
the Miners union from working in the
mines of that district. In referring to
part:
Geneal Merriam was ordered to Occur
dAlene on request of the governor of the
state of Idaho to preserve peace n to
protect life and property. He had nj
other instructions except as above given,
and these. of course. it has been neces-
sary to carry out. Il
1t is clear from the foregoing that
General Merriam was placed in the hands
of the Idaho executive to perform what
ever duties might be required of him in
preserving the peace and dignity of the
state. Time must determine to What
extreme Governor Steunenberg was JUS
titled in going in order to punish the
men guilty of the outrages at Wardner,
without depressing the innocent. 1t was
unquestionably the duty of the governor,
through state authority if possible, and
through federal aid if necessary, to cap
ture n convict and properly punish
the men who engaged in the crimes of
arson and murder at the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mine. Law and order must be
preserved at all hazards and under all
conditions. There can be no dispute on
this point among intelligent men. There
are none. we apprehend, who would
countenance the commission Of crime in
the belief that the best interests of the
people would be thereby served. On the
contrary, crimes against the law not only
call for the punishment of those who
commit them. but when undertaken in
the assumed interest of any cause in
variably react against it.
The outrages at Wardner have I'M
doubtedly injured the cause of organized
labor. inflicting an injustice upon thous-
ands of honest, hard working. we'll de-
serving men who belong to labor organ
izations, and whose right to affiliate with
such societies cannot be denied either
upon legal or moral grounds.
Governor Steunenberg's duty to punish
crime as the law provides is Imperative,
and ii is likewise the duty Of General
Merriam to carry out under martial law
thu Instructions emanating from the
executive office of the state of IDAHO.
But it is equally plain that the governor
will have to answer to the people OF his
state for the infliction Of any unneces-
sary hardships upon innocent men, just
as the democratic governor of Montana
will be held responsible for permitting
men to he arrested and taken out of this
state by federal soldiers in times of pro-
found peace, and in utter defiance of the
civil laws.

and Spaniard who had been intrusted
with several, presented them to General
Lawton. The letters told Of the hard
ships the men were compelled to suffer
and begged that aid be sent them.
The men complained they had been
starved, beaten and bound, and, more
over, were i'll rags. One of the letters.
signed by Albert Lowenshon, said that
the Spaniards had been treated very
badly, worse than the Americans, and
that hundreds were dying of dysentery
and other diseases, and that the govern
ment took no notice of the sickness pre-

Captain Rivers advancing took an
outpost of the enemy two miles south
west Of San Mateo. He then en-
countered strong resistance among the
hills, the enemy firing from excellent
positions. Having failed to connect
with Major Cronin and seeing that the
town was already occupied by the
Americans, Captain Rivers withdrew,
covering his withdrawal by heavy
volley. He lost a sergeant killed.
Captain Parker on advancing found
the enemy strongly intrenched on the
far side of some rice fields, about mile
wide and covered with deep mud.
Pushing forward rapidly he routed the

The attempt made on the life of NJ.
Labori was evidently the result of a
plot. A letter was sent to the commits
sary of police yesterday morning warn

an attempt on the life Of General Mer-

news that her husband had been shot
and ran bach to him. She sat down on
the ground beside her husband and took
his head in her lap.
During the interval, while Colonel
Picquart and NJ. Cast were pursuing
the murderer and before Mime. Labor
arrived, NJ. Labori, thinking himself
mortally wounded, said to bystander,

There were several reports that the
