extreme penalties. The state and fed
eral authorities are working amicably
together in the matter. and will aid
each other all that is possible Some
thing was done in this strike that was
never before done in the history of the
United States. A single company was
sent into district to cope with 1000
rioters / refer to the company of the
Gath infantry from Spokane, command
ed by Captain Bachelor 1t was neces-
sary to entrust this one company with
the duty, for others could not be gotten
through there quick enough.
1T does not seem to be generally un
derstood that Governor Steunenberg
called upon the government for troops
before he knew of the destruction of
the mill. He had heard a report that
ceived no confirmation of the report
when he called on the president at 5
p. m. Saturday for troops
To-day's meeting of the Occur d'Alene
mine owners was held at the offices of
Finch & Campbell. 1t was called at the
request of Attorney General Hayes, who
desired to lay before the owners the
mandate of the state and federal au-
thorities that union miners could not
be employed in the region.
MIR. Hayes laid before us the ruling
that union men must not be employed"
said Mr.. Finch after the meeting He
said further that the state authorities
would expect our cooperation, and we
told him they would have it. OF course
we can't get men right away, and we
do not propose to go out and look for
them. We are going to wait and see if
they come to u.s. There are certainly
great many good men in the unions,
but, as Mr.. Hayes said when we told
him this, if they are good men they
can disavow their allegiance to the
unions and go to work Until men suf-
fcient to operate the mines can come
in the mines will have to remain closed

Cuban Steamship Lines Want to Fly tha
Stars and Stripes.
Havana, May THE owners of the
principal Cuban steamship lines met to-
day and resolved to send their represent
tatives to Washington with a request
that the companies be allowed to fly the
American flag so as to be able to engage
in trade with the United States and other
countries. Their steamers used to trade,
with Santo Domingo Porto Rico Jamaica,
Mexico and the Southern States and the
Canary islands. Now the owners of both
steamers and sailing vessels of which $50
are Cuban. assert that their business is
being ruined because it is confined to
coastwise trips. Two American lines are
doing a large coastwise business, yet
Cuban vessels cannot go among the WestI
Indies or to the Southern States.
An organization of the American attor-,
neys in Cuba has been formed, with,
James McCreary as president. He was
formerly attorney general of Texas and
served the first mayor of Santiago af-
ter the American evacuation. The attor-
neys claim that. having been duly admit
ted to practice in the courts of the United
States. they are eligible to practice here,
at least so long as the military admnis-
tration is continued To this the Cuban
lawyers interpose strong objections Tha
meeting adjourned until Friday next
when a definite course of action will be
agreed upon.

so serious that the company abandoned
all cars at 10 o'clock. The police made
but one arrest.

Wardner, Idaho. May Two hundred
and eighty-five miners, arrested at Mu.lan
and Gem last night, were brought here
and placed in the stockade with nearly 400
others who are suspected of being in the
mob which blew up the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mill. About 700 men are now
confined In tae stockade. but as soon as
the coroner's investigation is finished it
is understood that many of the prisoners
will be released.
Many of the men from the Standard
and Frisco mines have taken to the hills,
but it Is believed that number of them
will be arrested. as it is difficult for them
to get out of the country. None of the
men arrested made any resistance, but
the women stood near and applied vile
names to the soldiers. .a

be made public. OF course, I do not
desire to take any action that will I'M
justly hamper the administration for
l am an American, but do not propose
to sit idly by and see the volunteers
from Colorado fighting and dying in
the Philippines in defense of the pol
icy which Is actuating those in charge
of the movements of our armies
abroard.
In the first place, the volunteer
troops are being detained Illegally and
in defiance of the constitution. They
enlisted for the Spanish war. That war
is over and still they are detained in
those far-off islands.
Under the constitution the Colorado
volunteers would be perfectly justified
in laying down their arms where they
are and in returning to the United
States. If they should do anything like
that probably they could be court mar
tlaled and punished under the strict
letter of military rule, but in that
event the same military rule would be
placed above the constitution of our
republic
1t is regarded as possible that in
the event of the failure of any public
attempt which may be made to bring
about the return of the troops the gov
ernor will resort to legal proceedings
If such proves to be the case the su-
preme court of the United States may
be called upon to decide a test case
regarding the powers of the president
and that provision of the constitution
relating to the purposes for which vol
unteer soldiers may be called into SER
vice.

STRIKERS AT BUFFALO.
Bishop Quigley Has Been Asked to Use
His influence.


Buffalo, N. Y, May 7-President
Johnson of the state board of media ton
and arbitration and H. 3. Guilder of
Cleveland, attorney for the Lake Car
flers' association, and MI Douglass,
representing the Western Elevator as
socia tion, called on Bishop Quigley Of
the Catholic diocese of Buffalo to-day
and asked him to endeavor to induce
the grain shoyelers to accept the pr0pO-
sition made by Contractor Connors.
Nearly all of the grain shovelers are
lrishmen, and attend the Catholic
church. 1t is thought, therefore, that
a suggestion coming from the bishop
would carry with it great weight. The
result of the conference could not be
ascertained. The monthly men at the
elevators held a big meeting this af-
ternoon and adopted a resolution ex-
pressing sympathy With the cause of
the grain shovelers and unanimously
voting that whenever there are any
signs of growing strength on the part
of Contractor Connors that a strike will
be declared.
Connors is beginning to import men
from other cities to take the places Of

CRIME AGAINST CHRIST.
The Sloan Divorce and Remarriage as
Viewed by Cardinal Gibbons.


Baltimore, May 7.-Cardinal Gibbons in
the course of his sermon at the cathedral
to-day on the unity of the church, charac-
terized the recent divorce and marriage of
society lady in New York as crime
against Christ. His eminence said:
Consider the pontiff in relation to King
Henry VIII, who asked for the pope S
sanction to a divorce so that he might
marry again. The pope refused to give it,
saying: Whom God hath Joined together
let no man put aSunder.'
only a few days ago the country was
shocked at woman in high life who was
divorced at o'clock and married again
almost before the ink was dry on the di-
vorce papers. This is a crime against
the law of Jesus Christ.

is the same in France. England. Italy

you may not be contented to be united to
the church, but to the spirit. God grant
that all may be living branches and bear
