CASES OF POLICY MEN.
An Immediate Jury Trial Demanded
by Their Attorney.

htEE attOEhty
In Police Court yesterday the cases OF
Charles Sanders. William Brown. "Cooney"
Keever. Jack Battle and o Smith,
charged with operating policy games, were
continued until Feb. Y.
Taylor Gronninger. who appeared for the
men, insisted upon a jury trial at once. The
men were arrested two weeks ago. and
upon their application a continuance was
granted until yesterday. The continuance
yesterday was requested by Prosecutor Col
Inns. who said the Police Court business
was so heavy that II would be impossible
to try the men by jury. There was a
stormy argument between opposing counsel.
the defendants insisting upon trial. because
they believed the evidence against them
had been presented 10 the grand jury. which
would return Indictments. With their cases
tried in Police Court, in the event OF ac-
quittal, there would be a better chance to
defeat any subsequent trials.

According to the provisions of a will Of
fered for probate before Commissioner
Walker, Isaac ID. Lennon for a peculiar
reason changed his mind about leaving $500
to the Edwin Ray NJ. L. Church. In Feb

church should have the amount named at
his death. but after hearing a sermon
preached in May he inserted a codicil that
revoked the beQuest.

SCALE rs
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE)

an opportunity to speak upon the scale be-
fore 1t was referred to the scale commit
tee. He said If there was anybody in the
hall that wished to discuss it the time had
arrived for them to do so. He said If there
was a miner who could give a good reason
why an increase should be granted he should
present his argument. Vice President
Lewis then took the floor and said: IF
there is any miner in this hall who has
anything to say on the wage scale let him
come out and say 1t now or forever hold
his peace"
ought to have an increase in wages because
every other trade had received an advance
in wages. He said 1t would be impossible
for the miners to feed their families unless
they We're given an increase; His broad
caused the convention to burst into laugh
ter. He said: If the price Of coal hasn't
advanced it's got to advance now to pay
this 10 per cent. Increase" He said the
miners should get a 80 per cent. increase,
and asked the operators how they would
get along on SIC or SIS every two weeks and
pay house rent. He said the operators spent
more money for cigars in one year than the
miners received In wages, and concluded
by saying that the miners only wanted TO
be treated as humans should be treated"
The question was put. and the operators
voted solidly against it and the miners
for 1t.
THE SECOND CLAUSE.
The second clause of the scale, asking for
an absolute run-of-mine system through
out the entire competitive field, was the
next proposition considered. Delegate Al
len, Of Indiana, said the operators Of this
State went TO the run-of-mine basis be-
cause they could not sell their coal on the
screened basis. He said they found it more
profitable 10 pay on the run-of-mine basis
and then screen the coal to suit them
selves.
Patrick Higgins, of Illinois, said the rea-
son the operators complained about the
way coal would be mined on a run-of-mine
basis was because they employed any
~''clod-hopper" to do the mining. He said n
practical miner will do better work on the
run-of-mine system.
John p. Reese again took the floor. He
said the operators had not only refused one
demand OF the miners, but all seven. He
said the miners ought 10 go into executive
session and decide what they intend 10 do.

question that remains is whether we are

said that the operators claimed that the

withdrawn all claim to sovereignty the Bay
Islands of Utilla Ruatan Bonacca Tor Guanaja),

Great Britains formal acknowledgment was car

The British residents at Ruatan were assembled
and a proclamation was read to them by the cap
tain of the Psyche, declaring that under treaties

In 1850 and with Honduras In 1860 his majesty s
government could no longer regard the islands as
a British possession, and would henceforth with

Washington. July 3O.-The State Department has
not been informed to the character Of the proc
lamation issued from the British cruiser Psyche
the inhabitants of the Bay Islands, Honduras. but
officials presume 1t merely a notice the eff
feet that Great Britain recognized no right Of pro-
tecting its subjects in these islands. and advised
them to respect Honduranian law and authority.
Great Britain. the result of negotiations grow
ing out of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty OF 1850 made
a formal announcement of any claim to these isl
ands by convention with Honduras on November
3, 1853. and in his annual message TO Congress on
December g. 1860 President Buchanan expressed his
qualification that the Bay Islands had been finally
recognized part Of Honduras in fun compli-
ance with the nsistent representation OF this gov
eminent. Since that time Great Britain has made
no pretence 10 sovereignty over the islands. but
the inhabitants are for the most part Jamaicans
and descendants OF British subjects they have al
ways looked TO England for protection. Speaking
the English language exclusively. and having little
communication with the mainland Of Hon

middle OF the stream: The barge William j.

Charles 5. Spear. the steamboat Crystal Stream
and the barge William Myers. Two steady
streams of women and children poured into the
vessels from o'clock until the signal to cast
off was given. two hours and three-quarters
later. Just before the fleet sailed the big ex-
chief turned 10 the reporters and said:
This is a great day for the people of the old
IXth District. They never had an excursion be-
fore. and nobody ever saw such an excursion
as this, nowhere, l expected big crowd but
nothing like this one. There must be twenty
five thousand people on these here barges. but
they'll he well taken of. We've got more
than they can eat. I want you men TO under
stand that this is the biggest excursion that ever
left this or any other city"
Then the massive seeker after Goodwin's scalp
waved his arms and disappeared through the
crowd on the Haskell into that the Toches-
ter. and went aft. He soon reappeared at the
forward gangway. however and shouted. BE
patient. folks I know you're crowded now, but
were going to have TWO more barges."

His word was made good for soon after the
