BLOOD IS SHED.
First Serious Collision I'm Mining
Strike at Evansville,

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June N.-The first
bloodshed Of the coal miners strike that
has been in progress here for two months
occurred shortly after midnight last night
1t has been decided by the proprietors of
the Sunnyside mine that foreign miners
should be imported to start the mines.
This decision was made known to the
union men to whom the Chicago scale
had been offered, without recognizing the

at the station by James HI. Moore.
bookkeeper, and stakeholder in the
Sunnyside company. The wagonette was
driven by Edward Geiger, son of the
proprietor Of a furniture store and one
of the most popular young men in the
city.
The company's plant is located on the
northwestern edge of the city. about
a quarter of mile from the salt wells,
and is reached by q road branching from
the right of West Maryland street. Mr..
Moore and Ed Geiger were in the front
part Of the wagonette. While the We
hicle was passing a vacant lots just
before making a turn in the road to go
to the mines, parties on both sides of
the road fired in the dark upon the men
In the Wagonette. The driver whipped
up his horses and hurried to the mine,
while those who had done the firing es-
capped in the darkness. Patrolman Hol-
ston was attracted by the firing. 1t
seems that one or two of those who had
fired ON the wagonette remained in the
neighborhood, and, seeing the policeman
opened fire on him. The shot struck
against the back of his helmet and he
was not injured. - Three other officers
reached the place soon afterwards. but
they were not fired upon.
Physicians were summoned and the
wounded men given attention. Moore
Is at St. Mary's hospital; resting. easy
with hope for recovery. Charles Smith,
one Of the wounded negroes, is in a criti-
cal condition. John Phillips, another
negro, seriously injured, may recover.
Ed Geiger, the driver, lost an ear. Hen
ry Smith. colored, and John Norsweath-
err also colored, were slightly wounded.
A feeling Of uneasiness prevails in the
city. It is feared the scenes at Pana
will be re-enacted here If further attempt
is made to import miners.

OUTLOOK NOT BRIGHT.
Affairs In Samoa Are Still Wholly
Unsettled.

LONDON, June 22.-The correspondent
of the Times at Apia, Samoan Islands,
under date of June Is, says:
Although considerable success has at
tended the labors Of the commissioners.
1t cannot be said that the outlook for
the immediate future is altogether sat
isfactory. In order to secure unanimity
the commissioners have followed, to a
dangerous extent, the policy of comprom-
Use, with the result that many questions
at issue are settled unsatisfactory to
all parties.
The satisfactory features are the dis
armament Of the natives, the resignation
Of Malietoa Tanua and the abolition of
the kingship. These incidents greatly re-
move the tension and modify the fears of
another outbreak, but the establishment
of a provisional government Is keenIy
criticised by natives and whites alike
During the absence of Herr Rose, the
German consul, his duties will be in the
hands Of Herr Gruner, the vice consul,
while deputy commissioner will under
take the duties of the British consul, Mr.
Maxse l have the best reason to believe
the commissioners will take early action
to secure the retirement of the present
chief justice, and the American consul,
although no definite conclusion has. been
reached. As there are many delicate mat
tiers to be considered it is very doubtful If
the commissioners will be ready to leave
by the end OF the month"

YELLOW FEVER AGAIN.

The temperance of yellow fever at
Santiago is as unexpected as it is seri-
Gus. The sanitary Iabors of Gen. Leonard
Wood had been so extensive and we'll d.
Iected and the improvement so notable
that the belief was general that Santiago
and all other communities in which Amer
lean energy was at work would soon be
entirely saved the visitations of this ter
rible scourge. Gen. Woods own opin-
ion has long been that the removal of
the most serious causes of contagion
would certainly result in the speedy an
Inhalation Of the disease.
1t is evident that still harder work is
needed if anything approaching the san
itary conditions prevailing. in American
cities is to be realized. Whether the dis
ease can be entirely eradicated NAV be
a serious question. The habits of the
people as well as the climatic conditions
will continue for some time to leave this
open to serious doubt. The advances that
have been made, however, under the
American direction, gives hope that the

1t is hard to understand the reopening
administration, save on the basis of I'M
relenting political animosity.. The coun-
try had long regarded that particular
incident as closed. Congress had acted
on its understanding of the right and
wrong of the contending claims, and had
rendered to Admiral Schley the reward for
his successful operations while In COM
mand at Santiago which the judgment of
the people considered to belong to him.
The reopening of the controversy at this
time can be fruitful of no good result.
The good sense shown by Rear Admiral
Sampson in his consideration of the true
naval policy of the future, since his I'M
fortunate assaults on Schley, will enable
the administration before long to extend
to that gentleman that recognition which
their sense of political attachment causes
them to regard as his due.
Surprising that Secretary Long does
succeed in showing that there was dan
ger of collision with the Texas, and
supposing further that there was no dan
ger Of torpedo boats or any other danger
whatever at the time Schley gave his
disputed order to shift the Brooklyns
helm. what do Secretary Long and the
Sampson clique expect to prove? That
Schley was coward and was looking
for an opportunity to run away from the
enemy? Preposterous. And if it were
true, to what good end is it that such an
effort is now being made? Nobody would
believe such thing. 1t would be only to
the eternal infamy of the American navy
should Secretary Long find somebody or
other as plant as Ayers famous investi-
cation boards to put such an imputation
or the officer in command at Santiago on
that eventful day.
The entire thing on its face seems little
short of an infamy. The only end to be
accomplished in reopening this scandal
Gus episode in an otherwise glorious rec
ord is a political end. Rear Admiral
Sampson has failed utterly in his previ-
Gus charges against Schley, although he
had the entire force of the administration
behind him. Had Admiral Schley not
kept that written order of Sampson he
Guild have suffered a grave injury in his
professional character. 1t was not for
lack of will nor for lack of effort that
thu administration did not succeed in ru-
ining Schley. 1t was for lack of that
great essential, on which not over much
store is evidently set by the gentlemen at
Washington-the truth.
This matter should be brought to sum-
mary close. The recent correspondence
on the subject seems to indicate that the
only question now awaiting settlement is
one affecting the credibility of Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson, whose statements
of the episode made at different times do
not seem quite consistent. The head of
the navy department would do well to
recall Admiral Schiey's original sugges-
ton, there there is glory enough for all
in the outcome of that Santiago cam
paign, and quietly accept the inevitable.

disputes the proposition that resort to
psychic and hypnotic agencies has pro-
duced wonderful results in the domain
of the cure of nervous ailments. But that
an organic disease like diabetes should
be subjected to such treatment, to the
exclusion OF proper remedies, presup-
poses the mental disability of the victim
as well as the failure of public authority
to guard against such charlattanism.
1t is not so long since we here in st.

this direction. A pious humbug OF this
general variety set himself up to heal
human ailments by similar agency, and

credulity
However we may find excuses for the

palliation of the action of his friends in

allow such charlattanism to prevail open

of this character, which arise from ig-

PACKING HOUSE STRIKE.
Four Hundred Men Leave Work at
Chicago.


CHICAGO. June N.-Four hundred men
in four packing houses at the stock
yards left work today, inaugurating
strike which the leaders say will spread,
and by July 1. the day chosen for a
demonstration, involves most of the
houses in the yards. The trouble began
when 200 platform men and truck
handlers in the employ Of Nelson, Nor
ris & Co., went out to secure an ad-
vance of 25 cents day. Following these
$50 men in Armour & Co.'S tallow and
cooperage departments left their places
The force of the strikers was quickly
augmented by seventy-fve lard refiners
from T. J. Upton & Co.'S house. and
sixty men from Swift & Cos place fol-
lowed closely. These men have all been
receiving $3.50 day, and struck for a
raise to $1.75.
The strikers places were filled during
the afternoon by colored men. This
aroused the ire Of the strikers, and one
of the negroes, who became separated
from his companions, was chased almost
a mile, but he managed to escape.
Special policement from the stockyards
station have been called for to maintain
order.

is at least certain that neither yellow
