STRIKE ISEXPECTED.
Miners and Operators Disagree
on Several Questions.

Des Moines, March 26.-The miners
and operators failed to reach an
agreement on the shot firer question
Tuesday and the matter was dis
cussed for several hours and with
considerable heat on both sides. The
operators have offered to employ shot
examiners at their own expense, and
allow the miners to employ shot
firers to make from one to three shots
daily while all miners are out of the
pit, but the compensation for shot
firers must be paid by miners At the
schedule rate it would cost the miners
about two cents each per day for en-
ployment of shot firers, and it would
cost operators about 500 90 annually.
There are 100 mines in this state, and
IL 900 miners. The operators have
re Used to make any further conces-
sions and have presented their final
ultim alum. President Charles T
Morris, of the joint scale committee,
said la st night: "A strike is about
due. Conditions have been assuming
a more unsatisfactory condition all
a ong. After the Lost Creek catas.
trophe the operators were approached
with a demand for employment of
shot firers. We met in executive
session and granted miners permits
sion to employ shot firers and Ut der
stood this decision was approved.
There are some of the mine workere'
| delegates that came here instructed
against shot tirers and l understand
some of the mines do not want them
We believe strike at this time would
not materially affect us. Of course
we could do business up to May 1,
but we feel that the occasion does
not justify our acceding to the de-
mands of the miners"
President Reese, of the Mine Work
ers' Union, said: 1--WE will make
every effort possible to have the ques-
ton of uniform day wage scale and
the employment of shot firers settled
but if not we will an ultimatum."
| Asked as to what the ultimatum was
likely to be, he declined to state.
Aspect More Serious
Des Moines, March 26-Every Union
miner in the state will go on strike
at Midnight Monday unless the oper-
ators recede from radical stand
taken this morning in the joint con-
ference, when they refused to agree
to the Union wage scale or to hire
shot tirers. They also declined to
arbitrate. Another convention is be-
ing held this afternoon, but it is not
believed settlement can be arrived

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Who Assaulted Aged Lady
at La Junta, Col.

La Junta, Col, March 26.-W. III. WAL
lace, a negro sleeping car porter, was
lynched at eight o'clock Tuesday night
in a corner of the courthouse square,
being hung to an electric pole by a
bowling mob of 1000 people who had
been wildly hunting for him all day.
After the hanging the body of the
negro was riddled with bullets. Wal
lace had been kept out of town all d
by Sheriff tarr III an attempt to save
him from the mob. The prisoner
made no resistance to the lynching and
died protesting his innocence.
Mrs. Henrietta II. Miller, a gray
haired woman aged 81, going from Los
Angeles, Cal, to Denver to visit rela-
tives, was brutally assaulted in Il
Santa Fe railroad yards here Monday
night by Wallace, porter on Pull
man car running between Denver and
La Junta. After leaving the Chicago
limited train here Mrs. Miller asked
Wallace, whom she met on the sta
ton platform, where the Denver sleep
err was. The man offered to conduct
her to the car. After going with him
a considerable distance Mrs. Miller be-
came suspicious and started to return
to the station. She was then knocked
down by blow on the head, and after
a struggle with her assailant was
choked into insensibility. When she
regained consciousness about an hour
later she crawled back to the station
and gave an account of the assault and
description of her assailant. Wal
lace was arrested in the car of which
he had charge. He was identified by
Mrs. Miller, whose condition is critical.

Peking, March 26.-Princess Imperial
Yung Shon and eight other prin-
cesses entertained the ladies of the
American legation and Nine. Uchida
at reception Tuesday in palace of
the Forbidden city. This entertain
ment is reported to have been the
most successful of the recent court

ception, which was in return for the
tiffin given March IA by Mrs. Conger,
wife of the United States minister, to
II princesses and ladies' of the Chinese
court, will end for the present the So
cial intercourse between the Chinese
ladies and the ladies of the foreign le-

MISSOURI AND PENNSYLVANIA,

In Missouri the people have an old
fashioned notion that If man is guilty
of political corruption. he should be sent
to the penitentiary. Col. Butler, mil
lionaire of St Louis, and leading DEM
ocratic politician, has been sentenced to
three years in the penitentiary. phe
presiding judge was Democrat, the
prosecuting officer was Democrat
every man on the jury was Democrat
and the case was tried in rock-ribbed
Democratic county. The prosecuting at
torney. a brave and honest officer, in his
speech to the jury, truly said that "a
man who violates the law is not DEM
ocrat. he is not a Republican; he is
criminal" And though Col. Butler had
exerted great influence in his party, he
will wear stripes because he was con-
yicted of bribing members Of the board
OF aldermen of ST. Louis. In his de-
sire to obtain certain franchises and con-
tracts he bribed Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, the latter selling in lar
oesr number 1t was a scandal such as
disgraced Philadelphia few years ago,
but unlike Philadelphia, the millionaire
criminal is sentenced to the peniten-
tiary.
They do things differently in Philadel-
phia. If big Republican leader gives
n contract free to favorites, for which
the city was offered two million dollars,
no is elected to some great office. II
his agent pad the rolls and carries the
election by gross frauds, he is elected
to the United States Senate. The Penn
sylvanian evidently think that If Re-
publican commits a crime his polltcs
lift it out Of the danger of enforcing
penal statutes. Many years ago a North
Carollnian protested sanctification. After
wards he was guilty of sin. Upon being
rebuked he said: THAT was no sin TO
me- Since l am sanctifed everything L
do is sanctified Tt would be sin in you.
but my sanctifcation goes to all my
acts" That is the way it is in Pennsyl-
yania. If the Quayites steal the election,
it is not sin in them. The cloak OF Re-
publicanism that is thrown over it hides
the sin that would forever damn New
York Democrat if he had been guilty OF
the same crime.
Col. E. Butler made mistake in his
place OF residence and in his politics.
If he had lived in Philadelphia and been
| a Republican, he would have been elected
mayor of Philadelphia or sent to the
United States Senate instead of being SEN
fenced to the penitentiary.

Ashe county, we make the following ex-
tract: 1.-THE Democrats are proud of the
campaign made by Mr.. Thos. c. Bowie,
the Democratic candidate for the Senate
from the district composed of Ashe,
Allegheny and Watauga. This district
two years ago went 753 Republican, on
the State ticket Mr. Bowie's vote was
as follows: Allegheny gave him 100 ma
jority Ashe 81, and Watauga gave We'll
born Isl. which makes Welborn's ma
jority 20 over Mr.. Bowie in the district.
There were some precincts thrown out
that would have elected Mr.. Bowie, but
he considered Welborn had a majority
of the qualified votes in the district and
refused the certificate.
1.-The Republicans had been claiming
this district by from 800 to 1000, and Mr..
Bowie's running qualities has almost
stunned them"

WANTED: MORE CRANKs.

In 1883 there was elected to the House
OF Representatives of Rhode Island
legislator who has done more to secure
wise legislation in that State than any
man of this generation. 1t is now nearly
twenty years that he has continuously
served as a member of the minority be-
longing to q party that could not pass
a bill, and yet DR.. L. F. c. Garyin has
been the real author of more important
measures in Rhode Island than the whole
of the majority!
For some years he was talked about as
crank. AS soon as he took seat in
the Legislature he astonished his fell
low members by the large number of bills
which he introduced. They were nearly
all directed at some abuse and were
intended to secure reforms. Regularly,
without ceremony, his bills were put in
the pigeon holes and allowed to remain
there without any consideration. But
he kept up his steady shower of bills
until, according to the Providence Jour-
nal, this condition of affairs existed:
at became a serious problem. The
supply of the pigeon-holes at the old
Statehouse was soon exhausted. What
shall we do?' cried the legislators: eth
er we must have more pigeon-holes or
they must stop sending the good DR.. Gar
vim to the Housed There was but one
alternative. More pigeon-holes We're
necessity; DR.. GarviI continued to be
reelected. and the only alternative was
the marble capitol, with its acres or
easements and endorsements, affording.
as the Republican managers thought, am
pie pigeon-hole facilities to last the re-
mainder Of DR.. Garvin's legislative ca
Teer."
But DR.. Garvin forced legislation Of
value His reforms are the brightest
pages of the Rhode Island statutes
Among the measures which he carried
through may be mentioned the overthrow
of the old landed property qualification
for foreign-b born voters, the change in the
constitution by which State officers car
BE elected by a plurality instead OF
majority vote, secret-ballot law, State
bureau of industrial statistics, factory
inspection act, a ten-hour law and others
of minor Importance. What is called the
Bourne amendment. reported by DR.. Gar
vim. nearly doubled the voting population
of Rhode Island.
On the first Tuesday in November DR..
Garvin was elected Governor of Rhode
island. az the Democratic nominee. His
twenty years of persistent effort for re-
form made an impression upon the voters
and they wisely decided 10 elect as their
Governor the man who had lead in leg
islatiye progress.
