coNFIscATlNe COAL.
Railroads Are Helping Themselves in
the Indiana Field.

the Indiana Field.
Terre Haute, Ind, June 24.-Confisca-
ton of coal by the railway companies
has begun, to the delight of the striking
anthracite miners. who feel that this
move will materially aid their cause.
Ever since the strike was inaugurated
and especially since the call was issued
for a national convention of the min
.ers, railroad men have been apprehen-
sive that here might be q shortage in
the coal supply and now have deter
mined on action to protect themselves
SO far as possible in case there is a gen.
eral suspension of work.
Operators complain in all parts of the
Indiana field that the railroad COM
panies have been confiscating coal for
the last two weeks. Word has been re-
mine workers here that practically the
same conditions exist among the Illi-
nois mines.
In the meantime, manufacturers and
dealers, who are also apprehensive of a
general suspension of work, as a result
of the convention to be held in In
dianapolis in July, are trying to get a
big of supply ahead, but the railroads
are beating them.
Until the railroad companies move
and unload the cars now standing on
their sidings at Indiana mines, and fur
nish more cars, the condition in Indiana
will practically amount to tie up
within the next two weeks. The men
will have to quit work because the op-
orators will be unable to ship the coal
for which they have orders.
Vice President Boyle of the Indiana
miners says the men are not working
now on an average of more than two
and a half days week. They might
be working six days if the railroad
companies would furnish cars, as the
operators have more orders than they
can FILL Only a few mines in Indiana
are now working more than two days a
week
Several of the operators deny that
the railroads have begun to confiscate
coal, but they admit the railroads,
manufacturers, and dealers are getting
all the coal they can. The operators
have complained to the miners officers
that the railroads are confiscating coal,
and the miners officers have no hesi-
tation in giving the information to the
public.
The railroads, it is understood, con-
fiscate the coal on the broad ground
that they have to have it to furnish
power to carry the United States mail
and to move passengers and freight.
They represent further it is said, that
unless they confiscate coal for their own
use, they would be unable to move any
coal for the operators, so the latter, as
rule, permit the railroads to do as
they please with the coal.

Vancouver, B. c., June 24.-D. w.
Davis, collector of customs at Dawson,
having supervision of all imports into
the Klondike, was suspended from Of
flee yesterday, and, with his assistant,
Alexander Cook, resigned soon after
ward, as the result if the most search
ing government investigation ever
conducted in the north. Both men were
old employees of the government.
Many companies are implicated, and
proceedings may be instituted against
their officers on charges of the bribery
of officials. 1t is said that amounts ag-
gregating $4,000 were advanced by the
companies in connection with the
frauds. The penalties attached, of the
government presses for complete resti-
tuition, will amount to many thousands
more.

RArHsoNE AFTER WOOD.
Denounces the Former Governor OF
Cuba in Strong Terms.

| New York, June 24.-EsteS u. Ratn-
| bone, ex-director general of Cuban
posts, who by the Cuban amnesty act
was freed from a term of ten years
imprisonment and the payment OF
sac. 600 fine, arrived here today from
Havana on the steamship Niagara. His
purpose is to try to obtain a congress
sional inquiry into the charges against
him, and he said he would leave at
once for Washington to consult with
Mark Hanna and other friends as to
the best means of obtaining vindica-
ton. Mai. Rathbone denounced Gen
Leonard Wood and his actions as mil
| itary governor of Cuba.
| IF my official record is criminal"
| he said, "that of Gen. Wood and his
coterie is hundred times more Grim
| inal."
There were four charges against
Rathbone, failure to account for a
voucher for $1,000, Irregularities in re-
gard to per diem allowances from the
postmaster general, negligence, and eX-
| Itravagance.
'I shall not accuse the Cuban courts"
said Mai. Rathbone, for believe they
were influenced by Gen. Wood. 1 will
stood in the matter The order grant,
ing me new trial was received by
Gen. Wood on May II, and under the
law it was not legal until officially
gazetted, and Gen. Wood held the order
until May 19, the day before Cuba be-
came a republic, when it was too late
! to order the detention of a number of
my witnesses
1T has been said that my enmity
with Gen. Wood is due to my candidacy
for the governor generalship of Cuba.
That is not so, and I was never a can
didate for that Office, as may readily
be proved by letter which 1 wrote to
President Mckinley in October, 1899,
in which I asked him to discourage the
efforts of some of my friends who were
working to that end. My dislike for
Gen. Wood is based on personal rea-
sons, but too personal to be alluded to
| for publication.
"All I want" he concluded, '.is q
thorough investigation, and my vindi-
cation will be assured

ippine civil government bill in the

slaught upon the republican policy,
charging the presidept and admins
tration with hypocrisy in dealing with
the Cuban and trust questions. His
remedy for trusts was to deny them
power of interstate transportation, use
of mails, and inaugurate an admin

statutes, not injunctions in the prose-

Nature of Kings Illness.

New York. June 24.-Dr. Cyrus Ed
son explained the kings illness and op-
Grafton as follows:
"Perityphlitis is inflammation, includ-
ing formation of an abscess, of the It's
sues around the vermiform appendix,
hence perityphlitis is hard to disting-
uish at once from appendicitis. Usually
an operation is necessary to ascertain
whether the appendix or surrounding
tissue is diseased. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the king ought to recover in
three or four weeks, but after recovery
it would perhaps be four weeks more be-
fore he is able to perform his part in
the coronation ceremony.

A CARLIN HOLD-UP.

A bold hold-up occurred in Carlin
Sunday evening. The particulars as
we have learned them are as follows.
One Of the bosses on the contract
work went to Carlin Sunday with a
check for $3.50, which was cashed in
Durhams saloon. Two men, n Of
whom called "Al" and who had been
in Elko for a few days. or until he was
run out of town by Constable Mccoy,
and the other named Ford, saw the
check cashed. They followed the boss
around town and saw him go into a
restaurant TO pay a bill of $50. They
went In and as the boss drew a handful
Of money from his pocket. they struck
him on the head with a canvas bag
filled with rocks. He was knocked
down and stunned a I'd his money was
scattered all over the room. When he
came to, he was out $40 and the two
men had gone. No complaint was
made until late Monday afternoon. The
two men were evidently posted and left
town before they could be arrested.
Constable McAdams came to Elko last
night to look for the men and his
deputy went to Battle Mountain to
catch them.-Elko Independent.
From last accounts they had not
been caught.

w. C. Williams. the first man Of
Olinghouse mining camp, paid the
office a visit yesterday, and gave some
interesting items about the gold fields
out Of Wadsworth.
Mr., Williams staked out all the
claims in the gulch before anybody else
knew Of the precious metal lying so
close to the surface. Not having suf-
ficent ready cash to keep up his asses
sment work on so many claims he let
them go. n by one, until but three
remained. yet these claims, the Gold
Ledge. Cabin and Point. are very
promising. and Mr.. Williams says that
this summe prospects will be even
better than in the flush days Of Its earl
lest discovery, when $26O0 was taken
out in less than three days by n man
simply scratching on the surface.
Last winter he IAN 500 foot cross
Gu. tunnel on the Gold Ledge claim
and opened up several gold bearing
veins, that will widen and grow richer
as they are followed up. In cutting
this tunnel Mr.. Williams says he used
five boxes Of candles per week, and
that the tunnel looked like an Aladdin's
palace built through walls Of quartz.
Recent assays from the rock taken
out Of the Point mine run as high as
$84O, and the three mills are kept
pretty busy crushing the low-grade ore
piled high on the dumps. which aver
