END OF STRIKE Is IN SIGHT
Citizens' Committee Confident that
Differences in Colorado SmeIters
VIII BE Adjusted.

DENVER, June 1S.-If the unanimous
opinion of the citizens committee, which
includes Ex-Governor Adams and President
Jeffrey of the Rio Grande railway. appointed
by Mayor Johnson and Governor Thomas
in behalf of the city of Denver and state of
Colorado, to endeavor to effect a settlement
of the trouble between the smelter man
ayers and their employees is a criterion, 1t
is only a matter of a few days until the
large smelters in this city and Pueblo, now
closed on account of wage differences, will
be in operation. The committee was in ses-
sion the greater part of this afternoon and
when 1t adjourned issued the following
statement to the public:
The committe has. according to it's best
judgment, furthered the opening of nego-
tiations between the smelter managers and
their men with a view to an early resump-
ton of work. and the committee believes
that progress has been made which in a
few days may eliminate in the reopening
of the smelters in Denver and Pueblo. 1t
is learned that the president of the Smelt-
ing and Refining company will probably ar
rive In Denver next week, when a mutually
satisfactory scale of wages may be agreed
upon between the managers and the men.
In the meantime the committee will offer
its services to help bring about so desirable
a result.

NEGRO MINERS ARE BARRED
Temporary Injunction Secured by
Strikers to Prevent Importation
of NOnuniOn Labor.

"PITTSBURG, Kan, June 1S.-The strik-
ing union coal miners appear to have tenn
porarily stopped the Importation of southern
negroes by the mine operators. The hear
ing OF injunction cases brought by the state
court has been postponed by Judge Skid
more until June 20, the temporary ~injunc-
ton being extended.
The injunction suits in question are those
brought In Cherokee county by the miners
to prevent the importation OF miners from
other states. The miners set up that the
negroes are criminals and that their COM
ing would be a menace to the peace of the
community. On this showing Judge Skid
more gave a temporary restraining order
and the application for an order making
IL permanent was to nave been tried yes
terday at Columbus. Its posponement suited
the miners because they will have hard
work in maintaining their allegations and
because the mines where the big Four
expected to put negroes to work next week
are all In Cherokee county. The Kansas and
Texas and the Central Coal and Coke COM
panies could bring miners into this (Craw-
ford) county as the Missouri Pacific has
done, but they could not work them here
to advantage.
The companies cannot well afford to SET
the precedence OF even seeming to violate
injunctions, because OF the effect II would
have on the miners. The Missouri Pacific
in the federal court, has enjoined 500 min
ers and the state labor commissioners from
interfering with any one who is willing
to work for them or from going on the COM
pany's land. These cases are set fol-
Wednesday for final hearing by Judge Hook
OF the federal court and all persons ~enjoined
are cited to appear.

CLEVELAND, O., June 1S.-Blaze Patrie,
a railroad section hand, proved himself a
hero today and was fatally injured in an
attempt to save a woman from death. Mrs.

fell in front of an approaching train. Patrie,
who had been detailed to assist the flag

assistance, but both he and the woman were
run down. Mrs. Price lost a leg and an
arm and suffered a fracture of the skull,
while her rescuer was struck by the pilot
OF the engine and was picked up insensible
from a bad wound in the head. The m
retained consciousness. but the physicians

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 1S.-Captain
William A. Andrews left this city this

headed direct for the Azores islands, where

captain to cross the ocean in similar small
crafts, three OF which attempts he claims
were successful. The boat he is using this
time is twelve feet long, FIVE feet wide and
twenty-five inches deep. 1t has been painted
black for the purpose, the captain states, of
not attracting the attention Of whales and
sharks, as he claims to have had trouble

STORY
Ex-senator Hill Says 1t Required No
Corruption Fund to Elect
Judge Haight.

ALBANY, N. Y, June 1S.-Ex-Senator
and Ex-Governor David B. Hill, who was at
the head of the defeated democratic state
ticket the year that Judge Haight was
elected with the rest of the republican state
ticket, said tonight concerning L. NJ. Lock-
woods testimony in relation to Judge
Haight's election, given before the Indus
trial commission:
Judge Haight was elected in the fall of
1894. At that election l headed the dem
ocratic ticket for governor, leading a for
lorn hope and recollect the campaign very
we'll. The democrats had to contend against
the hard times, the silver panic, the Wilson
tariff fasco and disclosures of municipal
corruption, as well as divisions among DEM
ocrats themselves, and, of course, the result
was a republican cyclone, as everybody
knew 1t would be. The Iepublica MS needed no
immense corruption tuno, either from the
Standard Oil company or anybody else, to
elect their whole ticket, electing Judge
Haight. l recollect at the time there was
some criticism, principally by a coteTie Of
populists, of a decision which Judge Haight
had once made as a supreme court justice
in Buffalo, but 1t attracted no particular at
tention in the campaign and was regarded
by myself and by democrats generally as
unworthy of notice, at any rate it cut no
figure in the canvass, Judge Haight being
elected by 1884 plurality over a most
able and popular opponent, Judge Haight
receiving 671,25 votes, while Governor Nor
tor. received only a few more, to-wit: 673,-
S1S.
1T is absurd for a Pennsylvania at this
late day, who can personally naturally have
no knowledge Of the matter of which he
assumes to speak, to assert that Judge
Haight was either nominated or elected in
New York state through the contributions
or efforts of the Standard Oil company. 1t
verifes the old saying that one must go
away from home to gel the news He was
elected because the tide of that year. in New
York, as well as everywhere else, was with
his party, and he was nominated because OF
his high personal character, his efficient judi
cial ability, and unquestioned integrity, con-
coded by the whole bar and people of the
state, and as a fair political opponent, 1t
gives me pleasure 60 say this much"

ton Of the crisis. Henri Brisson contented
himself with promising support and ex-
pressing good wishes.
NJ. Waldeck- Rosseau waited upon M. Cas-

CASPER, wyo., Junet ~1S.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-Eight OF the posse hunting the
Union Pacific train robbers in the Hole-in-
the-Wan country returned to Casper to-
day. The robbers have left the Hole-in-
the-Wall mountains and are travelling back
south. The last heard of them was at Pow
der river, coming south. They seemed to
be heading toward Wolton. A large party
is following them now. Today guards were
placed at all the bridges across the Platte
river and new men with fresh horses
started for the Wolton country. The pur-
suing party at Sullivan's sheep camp, where
the robbers ate breakfast and took a pack
horse and bed, were twelve hours behind.
The robbers are travelling in a very broken
country, with numerous washouts and a
model place to hide. At Sullivan's camp
only two robbers put in an appearance.
Fugitives Three Days Ahead.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 1S.-(Special
Telegram. )-Couriers who arrived today
from the pursuit Of the Union Pacific train
robbers report that the fugitives are now
several days in advance of the pursuing
posse. The robbers were supplied by a
rustler friend near E.. X Mountain, in the
Hole in the-Wall country. with fine riding
horses and two pack animals, plenty OF food
and a camp outfit. They were last seen
starting across the main range of the Big
Horn mountains, evidently making for the
Jackson's Hole country, an admirable hid
ing place south of the Yellowstone National
park. Their trails were lost on account of
snow storms on the mountains. The course
of the robbers, it is believed, will be across
the Shoshone Indian reservation and the In
dian police are out guarding the mountain
passes.
Posses of Idaho and Montana officers have
been started toward the Jackson's Hole
country to cooperate with the Wyoming
officers, who, under the direction of United
States Marshal Hadsell, are still following
the trail across central Wyoming. The au-
thorities and Union Pacific management are
determined to capture the robbers and the
chase will be continued until they are rrsl
down.
