here as a special committee of the
Reading force to learn if possible how
to prevent the impending catastrophe
He was much disappointed to dis
cover that there was no law regulat-

ON AGAIN.
Big Consolidated of Cleveland
Once More Tied Up.
Not a Car Moves on Any of Is
Lines.

Cleveland, July 1.-THE conductors
and motormen of the Big Consolidated
street railway system who were on a
strike last month went out again at
AIS this morning. Eight hundred men
are affected. They claim the company
has not lived up to the agreement made
which ended the former strike.
The decision to declare another strike
was reached after d meeting of the
men which lasted practically through
out the night. During the early hours
of today not a car was running on any
of the Big Consolidated lines, fifteen in
number. The officials of the company
have asked for police protection and
say they will attempt to start cars on
one or two lines very soon. Large
crowds are cOngregated at all of the
barns of the company, but so far as
known no violence has been committed
Business Agent Pratt of the strikers
today issued a statement in part as fol-
lows:
Tt is with grave apprehension that
1 view the situation as it exists at the
present time between the Big Consoli-
dated Street Railway company with
its millions of dollars back of it on
the one side, and the street car en-
plOyeS,a brave determined set of liberty
loving American citizens and a vast
thrOng of organized labor back of them
on the other side.
Three weeks have elapsed and the
company has failed to live uptO any part
of its agreement: neither has it shown any
intention of doing so, except by many
promises, which have been more readily
broken than made. The council com
mittee have said that they are no long
er a party to that agreement, although
their signatures appear there the same
as the rest. Consequently we are
brought back to the very starting point,
the only difference being that our last
condition is worse than the first
Who will be responsible for the suf-
fering, rioting and disgrace that must
inevitably follow another strike? The
corporations will place the blame upon

have money, and because of their hav-
ing money there are city authorities
who are willing to put the collar around
their necks and say the men them
selves are to blame for all this,

KANSAS GOLD FIELDS.
Charles X. Holiday Says Shale
Produces Yellow Metal In
Paying Quantities.

Charles K. Holiday has returned from
Florence, Colorado, where he took a car
load of Kansas shale from Trego county
to the mill.
MY runs ran from to % per cent in
zinc and from $40 to $32 in gold and
three ounces silver to the ton," said Mr..
Holiday. THE car of shale was taken
to the Cripple Creek Beam Milling COM
pany at Florence, Col. The reason it
was taken there is that the Beam pro-
cess is the coming process of the United
States on account of being able to con-
vert low grade ores and especially ones
containing zinc. English experts We're
there to buy the process for Canada and
Australia. They ran through LOOO
pounds of Kansas shale and were so
pleased with the result that they took
all the concentrates back to England
with them and the next thing Will be a
flood of EngIShmen in western Kansas
when we first started running KAN
sas ore it was run over the plates like
Cripple Greek ore is but there was so
much zinc that it piled up inches high
and ran the water off onto the floor,
so that process had to be abandoned.
I'VE then put in a system of leeching
watts, took off the zinc in solution and
the recovery of gold from the pulp was
then as easy as recovery of gold from
any ore. Mr.. S. S. OFT was out there
while the Kansas ore was being run and
panned free gold out of the ore after it
was roasted. He saw zinc precipitated
and expressed himself a well pleased.
'One syndicate, headed by Mr.. OFT,
controls and owns $50 sections in TregO
and Ellis counties. The next largest
syndicate is the one Col c. K. Holiday
is interested in controlling $4,000 acres,
the Veale syndicate, of which Geo. VeaIe
is manager controls about 10000 acres.
Different parties have bought land and
now nearly all of Trego and Ellis is taxi
en- up in mining land"
When Mr.. Holiday took his car to
Florence he was the laughing stock of
an who knew about it, but now he says
Colorado people are ready to invest. He
prophesies that the Kansas mines will
out do KlOndike.
Mr.. Holiday expects that a mill will
soon be built TO run Trego county ore.
The mill will be built either in TregO
county or in Topeka. Mr.. Holiday will
go east in a few days to make the ar
rangements.

TO HUSH IT UP.
French Cabinet VIII Drop
Dreyfus Scandal
If the Captain Be Acquitted at
RenneSs
AFRAID OF THE CASE.
Further Probing Night Lead to

Interests of the Great Exposi-
tiOn at Stake.
AFRAID OF THE CASE.

New York, July 17.-It is now stated
says the Paris correspondent of the
Tribune that the present cabinet has de-
cided in the the event of acquittal OF
Dreyfus at Rennes-which is regarded
as almost a certainty-tO hush up the
whole scandal. This is considered in
political circles to be the vital ques-
ton with which France will be con-
fronted as soon as the court martial at
Rennes has pronounced its judgment
In spite of the weight of authority OF
NJ. Ribot and the influential Republican
pa pers like the Temps and the Debats,
people are beginning to ask whether
such a policy of "hushing up and Of
shielding those who are responsible for
the terrible conspiracy against an inno-
cent man would not destroy confidence
in the republic. A large and apparently
increasing body of Republicans includ-
ing of course all the radicals and social
lists who from the very outest of the
Dreyfus affair have been constantly on
the side of truth and justice-and have
thereby gained enormously in political
pOWerS-ShoW signs OF insisting on the
most drastic investigation into all the
circumstances of the Dreyfus cOnspi-
racy
From the American point of view the
French republic has everything to gam
and nothing to lose by probing the
wound to the quick and Furnishing the
guilty. But prudent and experienced
Frenchman favor the policy Of the
Sponge" "Wipe off all the old scores,
they say, ''and begin the exhibition year
with a clean slate. Punishment in
France usually means retaliation and
retaliation leads to civil war" Such
are the words of a French statesman
who has been prime minister. and who
! has weathered many a parliamentary
storm. Whether it furnishes a key to
the policy that the present cabinet will
adopt after the judgment shall have
! been rendered by the Rennes court mar
tiaI remains to be seen.

RESERVOIR SITES.
Reports of Threatened Monopolization
of Suitable Lands Cause No Worry.

Washington, July 17.-RepOrts reach
ing the interior department of a threat
ened monopolization at a number of
points of the lands acquired under the
law relating to reservoirs for watering
live stock create no apprehension on the
part of the authorities. They say that
the rules and regulations recently put in
force for the execution of the law have
been so carefully framed that there is
no danger of individuals getting more
or the inflictiOn of any possible injury
to the common use Of the areas con-
cerned. The new code of rules, it is
stated restricts filings made previous
to the issuance of the rules, taking from
them every tendency to monopoly, these
previous filings being now returned to
the parties with instructions that the
applications for such lands must con-
form to the later regulations. They are
also designed to prevent an exclusive
right to the tract taken, giving the land
the status of a cOmmunitiVe property
open to all seeking the water rights and
Furthermore they restrict the maximum
quantity of land in any section to 160
acres to each individual, but even this
is not permissible unless the party has
built a reservoir having a capacity of
500, 900 gallons, any less capacity reduc-
ing the area allowed Droportionately
The lands taken cannot be fenced or
otherwise enclosed and must be kept

ing to water his animals, any non-com-
pIiance with the law and regulations

EIGHT HOUR LAW DEAD.
Colorado Court Declares 1t I'm
constitutional.

Denver, July 1.-THE supreme court
today decided that the 8 hour law is
unconstitutional. The opinion is not yet
written and will be filed later.
The hour law which was enacted
at the late session of the legislature
applied only to mines, smelters and
mills for the reduction of ores.
The refusal of the American Smelling
Refining company to pay the same
wages for hours as had been paid for
ten and twelve hours caused its smell
ters to be closed on June Is when the
new law became operative. This COM
pany, which is known as the smelter
trust, will now endeaVOr to reach an
agreement with its former employees
as to wages and hours of labor and to
reopen it's smelters as soon as possible.
Officers of the Smeltermen's union say
that the furnacemen who formerly
worked u hours a day will work but
eight hours in future.
