INDIANA MINERS ON STRIKE.
Seven Thousand Men Out ON IA De-

seven Thousand Men Out ON De-
mand For the Engineers Scale.
Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 13-More
than 200 hosting engineers and 1000
miners in the state of Indiana are idle
today as the result of the failure of the
Indiana block and bituminous coal
operators to sign the scale presented
to them yesterday by the engineers.
The scale submitted Is the one now
paid in Illinois by the operators of that
state, and is higher than that paid in
Indiana. The operators were willing
to pay the present scale in Indiana un-
til the conference of the United Mine
Workers of America in Indianapolis
in January. at which time the ques-
ton of paying the Illinois scale to
Indiana miners was to have been con-
sidered. When the operators at last
nights conference announced their in
tention of refusing to sign the scale
until the matter could be decided at
the Indianapolis convention Secretary
Jenkins and Chief Taylor, of the
Hosting Engineers Brotherhood,
wired the officials of the different min
ing districts declaring srrlKe.
The adoption of the Illinois scale in
Indiana would mean an advance to the
engineers of at least 20 per cent. The
advance asked, the Indiana operators
declare, is too much, as the conditions
which govern the mining of coal in
Illinois are much different from those
in Indiana. Engineers in this state
now receive from $65 to SIS per month
and work from eight TO ten hours a
day. Illinois engineers receive from
sos to $50 per month, and work eight

Schroeder on Trial for Forging and
Eypothecating Them.

4
New York, April 19.-What is known as
the Virginia bond forgery case came up
for trial to-day when julius Schroeder, a
manufacturer of Forest Hill, n. j., was
placed on trial for forgery in the first de-
gree before Judge Newberger in generel
sessions.
Schroeder is charged with forging the
names of D. D. Reveley, treasurer of the
commonwealth of Virginia, and H. H Dy-
son, second auditor of the state to bond
of the issue of 1882, which he is also ac-
cused of having hypothetical. Schroeder
is alleged to have got hold of the bonds
of the commonwealth of Virginia and
raised 5000 on them.
In February, 1888, the commissioners of
the sinking fund of the state of Virginia
voted to issue bonds and orders were sent
to the Kimball Bank Note Company for
them. The bonds were never issued and
the package was sent to the Kimball
companys warehouse. Two or three years
later the package was sold with other pa
per.
Last November Schroeder visited the Of
fee of Ladenberg, Thalman & Co, where
he saw Paul Lichtenstein, an employe.
Lichtensten"say Schroeder offered fifty
six of the Virginia bonds, representing
s56.C00 face value, as security for loan
of $4,000 One of these bonds No 1870,
payable July l, 1882, and redeemabe July
1900, is that on which the specific charge
against Schroeder is made. Lichtenstein
says Schroeder was paid $4,000 in one
check and $4,000 in two checks later. Fur
Their allegations are that Schroeder WISHED
the Importers and Ira ders' Bank and got
rid of bonds for 10000 and that he got
go, 900 from the Seaboard National Bank.

DEBATE ON ALASKAN BILL.
Aliens and Mining Claims Were Un-
der Discussion.

Washington, April 1.-THE Alaskan civil
code bill was under consideration in the
Senate to-day, the debate continuing on
the Hansbrough alien miners amendment.
Mr.. Carter presented formally his sub
stitute for the Hansbrough amendment
and delivered a speech in support of it.
Mr.. Spooner antagonized both the orig
inal and substitute amendments holding
that the courts ought to settle the con-
fiicting claims without action by Con-
gress.
When the Alaskan code bill was taken
up, Mr.. Carter defended the alleged rights
of the so-called aliens who had jumped
valuable claims. He had read a petition
from the Law and Order League" of the
Cape Nome district making, serious
charges against the United States army
officer in charge of the district, indicating
that the officers was personally interes ed
in these claims.
Mr.. Rawlins of Utah inquired If this Of
ficer had not dispersed at the point of the
bayonet a regularly organized miners
meeting in the Cape Nome district
Mr.. Carter replied that he had been in
formed that soldiers of the UnteI
States had dispersed meeting of Ameri-
can citizens called together to make rules
and regulations for the government of
mining in the district. And subsequently,
he said some had been lodged in Jail at
ST. Michaes.

army will be subject TO rigid investigator

provides that this act shall not be con-

Mr.. Spooner of Wisconsin opposed the

made against an army officer could have
nothing whatever to do with the question
at issue He said the Carter amendment
might greatly injure the American miners
now operating in Canada. It was retroact-
