turned to Washington. He says that
the faction opposed to sending their

stinate frame of mind. Mr.. Jenkins
had a conference with the district at
torney, in which the latter expressed
an opinion that the Indian commits

through its ambassador at st. Peters

have a contract for the supply of a
large quantity of iron water-pipe TAX
en- from an American firm and given
to French firm, on the ground that
the close relationship existing between
Russia and France entitled them to
favors of this kind. The Russian for
eign office took the matter up, and the
governor @ Odessa was directed to see
what could be done. He was obliged to
report that the town refused to change
their arrangements, being satisfied
with their contract with the Ameri-
cans, whose pipe was better and cheap
er. 1t was also pointed out that the
specifications called for pipe of a GER
tain quality and shape which the
French could not make. The ambassa-
dor requested that the specifications
be alterd to suit the French pipe, but
the town declined, for the reason that
the best engineering skill favored the
American shape.
The consul transmits specifications
of the proposed waterworks for the
town of Nicolaiev, which he desires
brought to the attention of American
firms with a view to their building.

EXTINGUISHED THE FIRES.
Three Thousand Employees of the
Trust Smelters in Colorado
Have Walked Out.

Denver, Col, June l5.-The three
thousand employees of the trust smelt-
ers in Denver, Pueblo and Leadville.
walked out, at noon, after having ex-
tinguished the fires in the dig furnaces
and put everything in perfect order
for a season of idleness. Within A.
hours, it is predicted, most of the
mines in Leadville, Aspen, Creede,
Ouray and the other mining camps OF
the state, with the exception of Grip
pie Creek, will be closed, throwing
thousands of miners out of employ-
ment. The low grade nietalliferous
mines of San Juan county already
have been forced to cease operations
by the strike at the Durango smeher.
All shipments of ore and fuel to the
smelters have been ordered stopped.
As result, many coal mines are pre-.
pairing to reduce their production, and
some will close. Almost every indus.
try in the state will be affected.
The strike is due to the refusal Of
the American Smelling and Refining
Co. TO pay the same wages fer eight
hours as it has paid heretofore for ten
or twelve hours, or, in fact, TO ne.
gotiate with the smelter mems union
concerning scale to be paid under the
