THE " ARDNER INQUIRY
Steunenberg Tells of Conditions Prior
to Last Years Troubles.
WHY HE RETAINED MILITIA.
Governor Declares There Were at
Least One Hundred and Sixty Men
Sworn to Secrecy In Bunker
Hill Conspiracy.

Washington, April 2.-The chief inter-
est in Governor Steunenberg's testimony
before the Cnur dAlene investigation
was in his continuance of the recital, be-
gun at the last session of the committee,
of disturbed conditions. prior to the ups
rising of April last. He had been asked
by Representative Dick why he refused
20 disband the militia of the Crur
'd'Alene district in 1897, as he had been
requested by the county commissioners
lie said that at the time the officers of
the Western Federation of Miners We're
advising the arming of the unions, and
he read an address by one of these Off
cials, stating that "every union should
Gave rifle club" and that sin two
years we can hear the inspiring music of
900 armed men in the ranks of labor"
Governor Steunenberg said that follow
ing this there was evidences in the CGur
.d'AIene district that the advice GSs be-
ing followed. A body of armed and
masked men, he said, appeared at Null
Ian and compelled the delivery of large
supply of arms and ammunition, owned
by the state of Idaho and stored there
pending the organization of a militia
company. He began correspondence and
inquiry and could get no trace of the
arms or those who took them. When he
applied to the local sheriff, the latter
answered in effect to mind your own
business"
The governor said that about the same
time he received a letter from the G.. A.
r. commander at Murray stating that a
number of rifles and ammunition were
in danger of being stolen. Threats had
been made to seize them, and noti6ca-
tion had been served that they would be
taken. The G. A. r. commander asked
10 be relieved of further responsibility,
and the governor said he had the arms
boxed and shipped away.
What French Reported.
Governor Steunenberg said he sent Ad-
+ jutant General French to Cnur d'Alene,
who reported that a movement was on
foot on the disbanding of the militia for
miners to come to Wardner and dynamite
the Bunker Hill mill. There We're re-
pcated threats, the governor said, that
the officials of the mine would be mur-
Siered if they did not, escape before the
s,anyon creek miners came down. He
\ said he was shocked to learn that Fred
erick b. Whitney, superintendent of tho
Frisco mine, had been taken from his
room at night by 16 armed and masked
men, marched down the creek and shot
dying in day or two.

On the farmers of no state did the
blight of the Wilson bill and Demo-
cratic rule fall more heavily than in
Kentucky. In 1892 after four years
of the Harrison administration and
the Mckinley bill the value of the
farm animals in Kentucky was 1884,
776,02O. But the ruthless hand of De-
mocracy and the Wilson bill and tariff
for revenue only fell ON the land and
in 1896 the total value was but SAL

of $22,SS1,173 under the Democratic

FIGHTING IN YUCATAN.

Indians Forced to Abandon Several
Strong Positions.
OAxAcA, Mex, Aug. 3.-The military
authorities here have received informa-
tion that there has been continued
fighting between the Maya Indians and
the government troops i'll Yucatan for
the last five days and that the rebels
have been forced to abandon several of
their strongest positions near the city of
Chan Santa Cruz, where they have their
headquarters and tribal government.
The Indians were taken by surprise
several days ago by a force of about
1000 government troops commanded
by General Bravo, coming in on their
right flank. After firing few volleys,
when this first onslaught was made by
the government troops, the Indians re-
treated a short distance and then made
determined stand, which they have
held with persistence and great bravery.
1t is charged that there are several
English speaking men in command of
the Maya forces.

WHITE SUPREMACY WINS.

Democrats Garry the Day In North Caro-
Hna-Butier Will Lose His Seat.
RALEIGH, N. O., Aug. 3.-After one
of the most bitterly contested cam
paigns ever known i'll North Carolina,
the Democrats and white supremacy
triumphed yesterday by a majority Of
about 10000. Yesterdays election dis
franchised the negro and changed the
state legislature from it's combination
majority of Republicans and Populists
to straight emocratic, insuring the
defeab of Marion Butler for reelection las
United States senator. The negroes,
as general thing, remained away from
the polls.
The election passed off. without any
trouble, excepting at a little town
named Fanison. A fire there, which
started in q drug store wherein was
kept the registration books, destroyed
the apothecary shop. the work being
attributed by the Democrats to those
opposed to white rule.
The election was for state officers,
members Of the legislature and county
officers and for an amendment to the
state constitution looking to practical
elimination of the negro from politics,
as its adoption disfranchises the bulk of
the negro vote. Many negroes voted
for the amendment.
Spencer B. Adams, fusion nominee
for governor, was defeated by Charles
B. Aver, the Democratic nominee, and
all the other Democratic candidates
were elected.
