The Senate District Committee yesterday
favorably reported the bill providing for
the removal of snow and ice from the
streets of the city. This is a bill of the
District of Columbia Commissioners.
The committee also acted favorably on
the bill to prohibit the attendance of
minors in billiard and pool rooms in the
District of Columbia. A bill authorizing
the Commissioners to appoint superin-
tendents of chimney sweeps, and to pre-
vent abuses by them, was likewise ap-
proved.
A Substitute Bill.
The committee decided to substitute the
House bill providing for the disposal of
certain refuse" for similar bill relat-
ing to the same subject. The House bill
has already been passed.
Similar action was taken in regard to
the House bill providing for the acknowl-
edgment in the Philippine Islands of Ger

paratory to the departure to the ma.

BATTLE IN COAL REGIONS.
Strikers and Deputies Have a Serious
Clash at the Little Mining
Village Of Throop.

Scranton. Penn. Aug. ll.-A lively
battle occurred tonight between dep
uties and strikers at the Throop. Il
mining village, six miles north Of here.
Scores OF shots were exchanged. but
as far as is known no one was hit.
The one colliery in the village Is op-
Grated by the Pancoast Coal company.
Last Tuesday a wai.hery was started
under the guard of armed deputies.
There has been some stone throwing
at the deputies and clubbing OF work
men. ON several occasions the depu-
ties discharged their guns to fright
en- away boys who pelted the washery
with slingshots.

was made 10 brigade headquarters
that strikers are foraging In the rich
agricultural district OF Catawissa val.
ley, which spreads its broad and fer.
tile length along the other side of the
mountains. north of this city. The life
OF one farmer has been threatened
because he attempted to protect his
property. and the raids have reached
such proportions that the farmers are
preparing to take some concerted ac.
tion to stop further depreciation. The
complaint reached headquarters to-
day and II is not unlikely that cav
airy will be sent into the district to-
morrow. The farmers are drawing
up a petition asking for protection.

The Latest Development in Railroad
Affairs is the Laying Out Of
Line to Buckskin Flat.
ROAD MAY GO FURTHER EAST
The Montana Railroad Seems to be
Seeking a Route TO the Mining
Camps of Fergus County.

Chief Engineer f. I. Robertson OF
the Montana railway was here last
Saturday for the purpose of viewing
the work accomplished under the dl
rection OF Engineer Clark.
Some difficulty was experienced by
the engineers in entering the town
and after several lines had been run
stakes were driven and Cottonwood
crossed at the Julius Petersen ranch.
From that point II reaches the bench
about half a mile below the Petersen
buildings and from thence in a straight
line to the won Tobel coulee, which
It follows until a curve is made to
ward the Meagher ranch and Wolver
inc coulee Ia crossed. From that
point the line is practically straight
one to the city and the last stake was
driven at the extreme end of Seventh
avenue.

seems as II the engineers are trying
to lay out a site for a passenger depot
below Main street. What is In all
probability an industrial line has been
laid out down Seventh avenue to d
point opposite the brewery and from
there around to the Judith Basin
mills.
+. T. Robertson, while in the city,
was extremely reticent and in talk
ing about the purpose OF his visit
said: Il am not able to state any
thing definite; all I can do is to look
over the situation and tell the manage
ment what IL would cost to put in o
depot at the various sites and give
an estimate of the cost OF construc
tion. | expected to be accompanied
by Mr.. Harlow on this trip but lac
was too busy. but in all probability
he will be here in o few days to look
over the ground for himself.
On Monday morning the surveying
corps returned to the city and com
menced a survey up Boyd creek.
The engineers returned to the city
yesterday and surveyed an entirely
new line to the west of town. This
latest survey leaves the bench be-
tween the Crowder house and the
creek, where II strikes the line be-
tween the Johnny Crowley ranch and
the city, following IT clear across to
Buckskin Flat. To run road to that
point by the route laid out will nee
essltate the building OF an eighteen
foot trestle for a distance Of half a
mile.
II would seem by the work which
has been accomplished during the past
week that it is the intention OF the
company to go further east, then after
tapping Lewistown. but whether for
the purpose OF reaching the mining
camps or finding an outlet Is impossi-

behind the barn on a slight eminence
on which they could watch everything
that went on, and Eddy continued to
the door. Tracy came from the barn
again and began helping his host TO

rifle although he had his revolvers in
place.

said:

How Trscy Died.


Two bullet wounds in his left leg
showed the cause of the mans de.
spondency. One shot had broken the
leg between the ankle and the knee.
The other had cut the tibial artery,
which, of course, was sufficient to
cause death. 1t is believed that both
of these wounds were received after
the convict left the shelter of the
rock and made his break for the
wheat field. The murdeder had taken
a strap and buckled it around his leg
in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
Despite the tightly fastened strap,
the bleeding continued until he prob.
ably realized his hopeless condition
and ended the struggle. He was
dressed in blue overalls, white shirt,
and wore no coat or vest. He had a
bicycle cap on his head and pair OF
rough shoes on his feet. He had one
rifle and two revolvers.
Sheriff Gardner of Lincoln county
and his assistants arrived at the scene
In time to help in the discovery Of the
remains, and 1t is stated that he main
tanned that he and his deputies were
entitled to at least share OF the
booty.
This was disputed by the Creston
party, the members of which main
tanned that they did the work and to
them belonged the reward.

taken direct to Davenport, where they
will be kept pending the discussion
of the final disposition of Tracy's

A Running Fight.


A Running Fight.
The outlaw jumped behind Eddy
and first placed the farmer and then
his horse between himself and the
pursuers. He commanded the farm.
er to lead his horse to the barn and,
hiding under the cover, moved to-
ward shelter. When near the stable
he broke and dashed inside. He
quickly reappeared, rifle in hand, and
started on dead run.
Turning on the two men nearest
him, the desperate fired two shots,
but without his usual luck, neither
bullet taking effect. Without waiting
for further fighting, Tracy made q
dash down the valley leading south
from the barn, and headed for the
brush. In an instance the man hunt
ers were off in pursuit, firing as they
went. Coming to rock, Tracy dodg
ed behind and, resting his gun on the
rock, began fusilade. Eight shots
in all were fired by the outlaw, not
one hitting its mark. Seeing that
he was not succeeding, he bolted for
the wheat field close by. At the edge
of the field he stumbled, fell on his
face and crawled into the grain on
his hands and knees. II was growing
dark. and the pursuers, not daring to
move in closer, decided to surround
the place and wait for daylight.
In the meantime Sheriff Gardner,
with Policemen Stauffer and Gemme-
in of Spokane, Jack O'Farrell of Dav.
enport. and other reinforcements, had
arrived on the scene, and they went
into camp around the field during the
Fight.

viii Inspect All Exports.

Minister w. F. Powell writes from
Port au Prince that the Dominican
government has enacted law by
which all exports, before leaving the
country, must be examined by officers
of the government, and, If found to be
damaged, must be confiscated and a
fine imposed on the exporters. Goods
not properly prepared for shipment
will be so marked and the shipper will
be fined. All articles found to be in
good condition will be free from ex-
port duties for period Of 25 years.
Bags used for the shipment of coffee,
sugar and cocoa will only pay so per
cent of the present duty. Sugar has
been declared free of export duties
