PASS A NIGHT ON
A YOSEMITE PEAK
Two Women and Girl Have an IN
comfortable Experience While
Out Sight-Seeing


YOSEMITE, July 2.-On the heights of
Columbia Rock Miss Helen NJ Brown of
Utica, n. Y, Mrs. Mary A. Knapp of
Boston and little Hazel Knox, aged only
12 of Merced had an experience last night
that will always recall their visit to the
Yosemite. Columbia Rock is on the trail
to Eagle Peak. The rock is on the edge
of a precipice and an iron railing has
been put there to give nervous people a
sense of security while viewing the val
ley beneath.
When the ladies reached the point last
evening on their return from Eagle
Peak the stars were shining over the
was a mile or more of zigZig trail, and
the edge of the precipfce was too un-
comfortably close to permit them to pro-
ceed without considerable danger. To
remain where they were meant safety,
their only fear being that stray bear
or mountain lion might chance that way.
It did not take them long to decide to
lights from the hotel and camps below.
A dance was being held on the platform
at the Sentinel and they heard the music
and the different calls.
On their failure to return TO the Curry
camp. the guardian was notified and a
searching party of three was soon
climbing the trail. 1t had provisions,
bedding and ropes, but fortunately none
of these were required, except the food.
As the party ascended the trail it blew
a horn, reminding one of rescuing parties
of the Alps.
AT IL 80 O'Clock the climbers reached
Columbia Rock and there pistol shots
told the anxious watchers below that the
lost party had been found and was safe.

OIL TRUST LOOKING
FOR STREET RAILROADS
Agent of the Combine Inspecting
Lines in Many
Cities

SIOUX CITY, July 2-The great
Standard Oil Trust seems to be reaching
after the street railway lines In a number
of Western cities. Among them are said to
be those in Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux
City, Minneapolis and st. Paul. It has
just been learned that a New York en-
gineering expert of the Standard Oil Com
pany was in Sioux City two days last
week inspecting the lines and property of
the Sioux City Traction Company. and it
leaked out that he came to Sioux City
from Omaha, where he spent four days on
the same mission, and that his inspection
of the Kansas City properties occupied
eight days.
He went from Sioux City TO Mime
apolis and is now either in that city or
ST. Paul. 1t was impossible to learn the
name of the expert as great secrecy is be-
ing maintained and, of course, nothing re-
garding the report he will make can be
obtained direct. From reliable source
it was learned that the report spoke in
favorable terms of the Kansas City and
Omaha properties and that he said the
st. Joseph. Mo-, system was not being
considered,

MINERS MADE
NO OUTBREAK
Another Quiet Day at
CarterVillG.
MILITIA TAKE POSSESSION
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. LOUIS, July "A special to the Re
public from Carterville, Ill, says that had
it not been for the militia patroling the
streets to-day, strangers would hardly
guess that the little city was in the midst
of a struggle between capital and labor.
Both sides in the trouble between the
union miners and the non-union men lay
on their arms and there were no disturb
ances. The presence of troops quieted
matters and allayed fears of riotous out
breaks.
In accordance with the orders issued by
Acting Governor Warder through Adju-
tant General Reece last night, two com
panies Of militia, c of Carbondale, under
Captain Barton. and of Mount Vernon,
under Captain Pavey, arrived at Carbon
dale on a special train to-day. There
they awaited the coming of Colonel
Bennett of Greenville, who arrived at
and the special arrived at Carterville at
l p. m. They Immediately camped in a
grove on the outskirts of town.
A detachment of Company G was de-
tailed to patrol the roads leading to the
Brush mines and a detail of Company D
patroled the outskirts Of Of town: sT1.h 1ui,o,s
Regiment came down from Springfield on
the noon train as the representative of
Acting Governor Warder to look over the
situation. The business men and citizens
generally of Carterville expressed dis
approval of the action of the Acting Gov
eTnOT III SeHulIlB tic IIlllllld lltlt.
No manifestation of hostility was made
toward the soldiers by the crowd that
had assembled at the station when they
came in but the consensus of opinion was
that there was no occasion for their pres
ence here Sheriff Gray was roundly de-
nounced by several merchants for his
kilograms to the Governor, which re-
suited in the calling out of the troops.
This afternoon a delegation of merchants
and property owners called on Colonel
Culver to protest against the presence
of the troops and to ask their withdrawal.
The members of the delegation stated
that Sheriff Gray had not exhausted his
resources to prevent a conflict and that
he did not even attempt to raise a posse;
Furthermore, that he was not at the scene
of the trouble more than three hours dur
ing the two days 1t lasted.
At the meeting of the leading merchants
of the town Saturday night, $3.50 was
raised to defray the expenses of sending
away the non-union miners in the Brush
shaft The miners have expressed their
willingness to go, and had 1t not been for
the arrival of the militia To-Day 1t Is said
that within forty-eight hours not one of
the negroes would be in the mine. AS 1t
is the citizens fear that their purpose has
been temporarily thwarted, but hope is
expressed that the existing agreement
may still be carried out and peaceful
solution of the difficulty arrived at.

HOMESTEAD STRIKE
IS INSIGNIFICANT
Not Enough Men Out to Interfere
With the Working of
the Plant

PITTSBURG, July 2.-The strike at the
Homestead plant of the Carnegie Com
pany. which was expected to assume
large proportions tonight, did not ma
terialize in a degree appreciable to the
uninitiated.
Newspaper men were escorted through
the mills tonight for the purpose of Civ
ing them ocular proof of the company's
claims that all departments were in op-
Grafton. To the reporters every branch
seemed to be working to the limit.
Both sides claim TO be satisfied. the
company because 1t feels assured that the
attempted strike is a failure; the ANAL
gamated association, because 1t has
gained many new members and expects
to secure many more during the Fourth
of July holiday.

MOST encouraging reports come from Ma

etrated much farther to the north than
heretofore, being now abreast of Tarlac

that Aguinaldo may be shut off from the

Is now about two-thirds of the distance to

the American line be sufficiently strong to
permit 1t to press further northward while
guarding the space traversed It may be
possible to hem in Aguinaldo. This would
be most desirable result. for it would ma
terially weaken his chances of conducting
an Indefinite guerrilla warfare in the noun

how large force he has with him. 1t is
probably big enough to make a stand for A

American line drew much closer the in

and slip away to another capital 1t is not
to be believed that they would establish
themselves at Dagupan, which is accessible
to the sea and is therefore exposed to at
