Three Thousand Employees of the Trust Shelters in Colorado
 Have Walked Out.

Denver, Col, June 15.-The three thousand employees of the trust smelt- CTS 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 season of idleness Within 4 hours, it is predicted, most of the mines in Leadville, Aspen, Creede. Ouray and the other mining camps os the state, with the exception oS Grip pie Creek, will be closed, throwing thousands of miners out of employ ment. The low grade metalliferous mines of San Juan county already have been forced to cease operations by the strike at the Durango smelter. All shipments of ore and fuel to the Mnelters 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 Smelting 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 mcn's union concerning scale to be paid under the eight-hour law, which becomes effec- tive June Is.

French Attempt to Get m Ameri- can Contract for Iron water
 Pipe. in Russia. AnnuIled.

Washington. June 15.-A queer mix ,ure of international politics and busi' ness is reported to the state depart- ment by United States Counsel Heenan, at Odessa, Russia. He says that through its ambassador at St. Peters burg the French government asked to have a contract for the supply of a large quantity of iron water-pipe tah- 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 of 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 CT. It was also pointed out that the specifications called for pipe of cer- 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 town of Nicolaiev, which he desires brought to the attention of American firms with a view to their building.
