THE WORK Jagged.
Another Story as to Bixby 'sRelations
With the Administration.

The Minneapolis Journal Washing
ton correspondent has the following
relative to Tams Bixby and the Wash
ington authorities in.connection to. the
formers work on the Dawes commits
sion:
From interest in administration
circles unfriendly to Tams Bixby
comes the story that his presence in
Washington at this time is the result
of a request he made of the secretary
of the interior. Bixby said he thought
he should come to Washington for
week or two, In the absence of the
secretary, while bills were pending in
congress for the ratification of treaties
with the Indians under the Dawes
commission. With nobody here to
keep things straight, he said 1t would
be possible for the treaties to be
amended in some improper way. The
request was sent to Washington some
time ago, and finally it was granted.
Considerable criticism has been
heard in Washington from persons In
the southwest, who have charged that
the Dawes commission was not pro-
ceeding rapidly enough with its work.
The president interested himself
sufficiently to ask the secretary OF the
interior to make detailed report OF
the days and weeks during which Mr..
Bixby had been away from the Indian
territory during the past five years.
This report was turned over to the
president, and when Mr.. Bixby was
last in Washington he had an inter
view at the White House which, it
was said, was strenuous to degree
unusual even with the president.
Then it was that Mr.. Bixby talked OF
resigning. He said that if the presi,
dent did not like the way the work
was going on in the Indian territory,
the only thing for him to do was te
resign from the commission. But, il
is said, no resignation was. ever offer
ed.
The people of Minnesota, who know
good deal about Mr.. Bixby's hustline
abilities. will not readily believe tina
he is a laggard, and that the work O.
the Dawes commission has been delay
ed through his management as acting
chairman. But reports of this sor
have been made to the president
and it is apparent that they have beer
given some credence at the Whit
House and at the department of tn
interior. In his contract with busines
men of the southwest, it is easy to Sc
how the Dawes commission may no
have been able to please everybody
and how complaints came to be made
1t is said that nothing will be don
by the president, unless fresh com
plants arise.
, This statement is not in entir
accord with what has been publishe
heretofore in these dispatches regard
:. ing the Bixby resignation and MI
:, Bixby's standing with the ADMINISTERS
ion but it comes from good sourc
. and probably represents the anti-Bixb
= side of the controversy.

Costly Operations Will Be Aban-

gin to Feel II a Change in Operators
Attitude Will Come.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June fitzpatrick
Gilday, president of the Central Penn
sylvania bituminous district Of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
came here to consult with President
Mitchell on a matter local to his dis
trict, gave an insight as to what the
soft coal miners in his territory are
doing to help their brother workmen in
the anthracite field. Mr.. Gilday said
there are about $4,000 soft coal miners
in his district
When asked regarding the feeling OF
his territory as to a general strike to
help the hard coal miners, Mr.. Gilday
said:
"Our men will do whatever President
Mitchell says. They can have our
financial support, and, if Mr.. Mitchell
sees fit to ask our men to lay down
their picks, they will do it promptly
| do not believe, however, there will
be a general strike of the soft coal
miners, because the anthracite men
are going to win without it,
Asked as to how the miners expect
ed to win in view of the fact that they
have practically reached the limit ot
their resources in this region in press
ing the operators and the latter still
stand out firmly, he replied:
"By the slow destruction of mine
property. By that / mean that if they
do not give the men the hours and pay
they ask for they will not consent tt
go into the mines and preserve the op
erations. The collieries will fill ii tht
strike is not soon ended and the mines
will begin to squeeze or cave in.
"All the timbermen are out and thu
timber which holds up Tie roofs o
mines will soon begin to give way
These squeezes will cost thousands o
dollars to repair and probably will b.
the cause of the abandonment of man,
costly operations. When the investors
pockets begin to feel it a change i
the attitude of operators will com
and the miners can wait for tn
change"

ASYLUMS CROWDED.
More Room is Needed for Accom-
modation of States Insane.

The state board of control Tuesday
advertised for bids for the erection OF
the new wings at the Hastings and
the Anoka insane hospitals The
legislature in 1901 provided for new
wing at each of the institutions to
cost 500, 1000, and to accommodate
about 1876 patients Bids will be open
ed June "a.
The additions will practically
double the present capacity OF both
the Anoka and the Hastings institu-
tions. and will be Immediately filed
by chronic cases, now cared for at the
insane hospitals.
"The problem of caring for the IN
curable insane and those that can be
benefited by medical treatment is diff
cult" said W. E. Lee of the state
board of control yesterday.
Zone of the large hospitals could
accommodate all the patients that we
have that can be greatly benefited by
medical treatment. Such an arrange
ment as having one hospital and the
remainder of the institutions as
asylums might be possible if the pres
ent hospitals were strictly state and
not local institutions, but it is out OF
the question now. Then, too, the
item of transportation to and from the
asylums would be costly.
"Anoka and Hastings may some day
be transformed into hospitals, ano
then cottage asylum system could be
built up about each of the state insti
tutions for the care of insane. This
would cost little more for main
tenance than at present, as there
would have to be a medical staff. Nov
we have no medical staff at the Anoks
and Hastings asylums, but have
physician from town visit the institu
tion each day.
"The present hospitals would b.
much better off if at least half the in
mates were quartered in asylum cot
tages nearby, say within mile
two. The chronic cases need yer.
little medical attendance, and could b
cared for at the the cottages. Th
superintendent, when in doubt wheth
er a case is so chronic as to justif
the patients being sent to one of tn
asylums, could send the patient to
cottage.
"The present hospital building
would in no wise be wasted if the in
mates were removed to cottages, an
the increased efficiency due to the ad
ditional room would more than con
pensate for the increase in the numoe
oe people housed. -

Some of the West Virginia Coal Oper'
ators Grant Concessions.

Charleston, w. Va, June 16.-lt is

Militia Unable to Control Strikers In
Pawtucket and Vicinity.
Pawtucket, R. l., June 16.-The
presence of 700 armed men sent by
Governor Kimball to restore order had
little influence except in the central
parts of this city, where the soldiers
formed an invincible guard, and DUR
ing the afternoon rioting broke out
anew in the suburbs and spread to the
neighboring city of Central Falls. The
resumption of the electric service,
which had been abandoned since
Thursday, was the signal for demon
strations at the points where neither
soldiers nor police were stationed, and
the character of the attacks grew
worse until the traction company was
forced to abandon the car service.
The disorders extended over sc
great an area that the troops available
were unable to handle the situation
and it was said that before the usual
car traffic can be resumed it will be
necessary to place the city of Central
Falls and parts of Cumberland, Lin.
coin and North Providence under
military control. To do this an In
crease in the number of troops will
be necessary. It was demonstrated
that the cars could not be operated in
safety under the present conditions
The tracks were obstructed and the
cars were pelted with stones by the
mobs, not only in the suburbs OF this
city, but in Central Falls. Missiles
struck many q the employees. some o.
whom were injured, and rolling stoci
was damaged.
About 5000 people gathered arount
one car in Central Falls and their at
titude was so threatening that ma
chine gun was loaded and two com
NAMES of marines were ordered t.
charge the crowd. The car proceed
ed. but the line was later abandoned
The marines then marched through
the city and at another point the ma
chine gun was made ready for actor
when it became apparent that an out
burst was imminent.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 16.-There
were meetings of strikers throughout
the region during the day which were
attended by fire bosses. Some or the
labor leaders say that half OF the flre
bosses still at work promised to stop
work, but this could not be confirmed.

quit. -,
