ISSUES AN INJUNCTION. j |. i I I 81 i !. !
Market nnntAtions Held to BE Property
Of the Board OF Trade.

Market Quotations Held to De Property
Of the Board OF Trade.
CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Judge Kohlsaat,
in the United States district court, has
issued 9 temporary injunction restrain
ing O. NJ. Stone and others from dis.
tributing quotations Of the Chicago
board Of trade.
The complainant was the Cleveland
I Telegraph company, which has the
right under it's contract with the board
to disseminate the quotations. Judge
Kohlsaat held that there exists in the
board Of trade a right Of property in
the quotations until they are made
over to the public; that there is no such
dedication to public use as will work to
determinc the property right and that
it was within the power Of the board to
convey to the complainant the property
right and that the complainant &C.
quired good title by his contract: e
Granting that the right to the quota
tions is property right, the court said
that it cannot be denied that the com.
plainant was greatly damaged by the
broadcast scattering Of the quotations
by purloiners, who, by reason of hav.
ing to pay nothing for them, could OBJ
viously render the complainant's right
OF property valueless.

DISAPPEARING CARRIAGES.

Fortifications Board Recommends That
No More Be Made.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE board of
ordnance and Notifications has been
holding protracted session in Wash.
ington, and adjourned after taking i'm
portant action regarding disappearing
gun carriages. The board has recon-
mended to the secretary Of war that no
more disappearing gun carriages be
made. The concensus of opinion has
been that the disappearing carriage was
good for low sites but the majority
seemed to think that it was not best for
high sites. The action Of the board, if
sustained by the secretary of war, will
be of far reaching Importance in the
future Of coast defenses.

Striking Miners and Non-Union
Men Come Together at the
Oneida Colliery.
One Policeman Killed and a
Second Officer and Striker.
Badly Wounded. n#
Riot the Result of an Attempt
to Prevent Workers From
Entering Mines.

HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE second
workers and the non union men oc.
cured at Oneida colliery, in Schuylkill
county, 10 miles from here, when a
coal and iron policeman was shot
and instantly killed. Another po.
liceman and striker were dangerously
wounded. In addition about o dozen
of the employees of the colliery were
badly injured by being stoned by the
strikers. The dead man is Ralph Mills
of Beaver Meadow. George Keller,
Beaver Meadow, is in the miners hos.
pital here with a. bullet in his head.
The striker wounded is Joseph Lipke
of Sheppton, who was shot through the
groin.
The shooting was the result of two
separate riots. The first began at a.
m. and reached a Climax about O'Clock
when the marching strikers, mostly
Hupgarians, attacked the men on their
way to work in the Oneida colliery,
"AACA ID ope1dGou ny OoAo oAOS. w w.
The marchers numbered about 800
men, women and boys. Stones were
thrown and the coal and iron police
men who endeavored to protect those
on the way to work,
Were Forced to Seek Shelter.
No shots were fired at this time and
the marchers then dispersed. The Sec
ond clash was the result of an attempt
on the part of the company to have
train Of coal cars from the slips moved
to breaker. The engine which was
attacAed to the cars was surrounded by
men and women, who stoned the en-
gineer. Superintendent Kudlick of
Drifton rem monstrated with the crowd,
but to no purpose.
The policemen in this instance we're
employees who had been sworn in to
protect the company's collieries. Per-
sistent attempts were made to stop the
train and the men made a concerted
rush upon the guards, who are said to
have run in the direction of the engine
house. The strikers gave chase and
the firing followed. Probably dozen
shots were fired. After the firing, Mills
and Keller were found lying upon the
ground and Lipkow was imping about
with his hands pressed over his wound.
Mills was dead.

Delegates to the Miners Convention Re.
ceive Many Instructions.
PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Oct. 11.-The Shen.
andoah delegates to the miners con.
vention have received their final in
structions. Not one Of them will vote
contrary to these instructions. At the
meeting Of two of the local unions
of the United Mine Workers at Shen-
andoah it was decided to demand that
the sliding scale, or the $3.50 basis,
should be abolished before the strike is
declared at an end. The delegates to
the Scranton convention were so in
structed. Many of the delegates from
Schuylkil declare that before a com.
plete agreement is reached between the
operators and the miners q Joint con.
ference must be held at which the
sliding scale, dockage, semi-monthly
pay and other grievances must be ad-
justed. 1t is not believed that the op-
orators will
Go Into Such Conference.
President Mitchell and the other labor
leaders ore strong advocates Of annual
wage scale arrangements similar to
that in force in the bituminous coal
field. The operators in these regions
meet their employees each year and fix
the wage scale. If this proposition and
that relating to the abolition of the
sliding scale are brought before the
convention, and negotiations with the
mine owners are opened, it may cause
considerable delay in the settlement Of
the strike. The convention may be in
session several days and it is hardly
probable that any coal will be mined
next week. Some Of the national Of
ficers are unanimous in their declara-
tions for a settlement and will exercise
their influence with delegates to accept
tie offer Of the companies.

Unless Vigorous Measures Are Promptly
Taken Against tho Boxers.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dot. 11.-Among the
arrivals from the Orient on the steamer
American Maru is F. D. Gamewell, to
whose energy and engineering skill the
safety Of the beleaguered Peking lega.
tions was in large measure due, as it
was owing to the effectiveness Of his
plans Of defense that they were able to
hold out against the Chinese rabble un-
til the relief column reached them.
"As to the results of this war;" said
Mr.. Gamewel, Il do not hesitate to
say, and I believe my sentiments are
shared by many others, that the United
States should insist that the leaders of
the uprising should be punished to the
full extent. Whether that punishment
shall take the form of execution is a
matter to be determined later, but
whatever is done should -,
BE Made Sufficiently Severe
to have a lasting effect upon the Chi
nese nation. It is no fault of the Box
ers that all our missionaries over there
are not dead today. If we make light
of this thing and pass it by, merely de-
mandlng an indemnity, it is my opin-
ion that the same terrible scenes will
be repeated'within the next few years."
He was told that the Germans had
demanded the head of Prince Tuan,
and did not propose to leave China
until they got it.
"Good," said he, and Mrs. Gamewell
approved. ''The Germans understand
the situation, and hope they will
stick to their decision -
