ANGRY PASSENGERS,
Those ON Belated Steamer St. Louis
DenOunce Owners for Placing
Their Lives in Peril.

New York, Jan. 19.-The steamship
St. Louis, over six days late, arrived at
it's dock here Saturday morning crowd
ed with angry, mutinous and indignant
passengers, dozens of them declaring
their intention of suing the lnterna-
tional Steamship company for sending
out the vessel in a crippled condition.
The hundreds of passengers in the first
and second cabins held meetings of
protest, while the disabled steamer,
with boilers leaking, was crawling
along from Cherbourg toward New
York, fighting heavy seas, and de-
nounced the company and the ships Of
ficers, declaring the company had
knowingly placed their lives in jeop-
ardy by sending out the vessel when
they knew it to be in a dangerous con.
ditiOn.
At one time the passengers demand
ed of the captain that he transfer them
to some passing liner, but, although
two liners were sighted, the passengers
were not transferred. They also de-
manded to be put ashore at Halifax,
but the captain declined and brought
them on to New York.
The St. Louis arrived at it's pier at
S:35. It's time from Cherbourg to the
lightship was 13 days five hours and 20
minutes-six days IS hours and Is
minutes behind the ships best record.
There was no accident of any kind at
any time, and although heavy weather
was encountered, practically all of the
delay was caused by liability to get up
good steam in the defective boilers,

ultimate result of his case. The
physicians say simply that he is hold
ing his own, and that he probably has
passed the period of danger from
peritontis. They said that if Mr..
Gonzales lived until Tuesday without
unfavorable developments he would
likely have an even chance for re-
covery. Sunday evening there was a
return of nausea. and more restless
ness than the physicians wished to
see, and they are watching with
considerable anxiety for a relief from
these disturbances. In the churches
of Columbia Sunday there were heard
earnest prayers for the life of the
stricken editor. In all the leading
churches the ministers offered spe-
cial applications either from the
rituals or improvisations. Some of
the latter were very eloquent and all
referred in high terms of tribute to
the services of the wounded man to
the city and the state.
There have been no developments
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1903-01-21

in the deplorable affair beyond the
fluctuations in the wounded mans
conditions. No statements of any
sort have been issued and no changes
have occurred in the position of
Lieut.. Gov. Tillman. He is still in
the county Jail and no applications
have been made for his release on
bail. 1t is considered practically GER
tain that none would be entertained
so long as the condition of Mr.. Con-
zales remains critical. Except for an
unwarranted and untrue newspaper
report that one of the Gonzales fam
lily connection had expressed de-
sire to get chance at Tillman, there
has been no recurrence of the fool
ish talk of violence to the lieutenant
governor. There has been no express
sion from any of the Gonzales family
connection that would be interpret
ed into threat against Tillman, and
there has been no trace of mob
spirit.

Peking, Jan. 19.-China has not yet

Conger, informing the Chinese gov

obligations, in refusing to pay the
war indemnity on a gold basis, as

government undoubtedly is hard
pressed for money, although, if the
provincial officials collected the rev.

Strike Comm ISIS on Finishes with One
Road and Begins with Scranton Co.
Philadelphia, Jan. 17.-More mine Of
fcials were called to the witness stand
Friday, and Informed the coal strike
commissioners that under the influ-
ence of the union the mine workers re-
stricted the production of anthracite
coal and otherwise interfered with the
discipline Of the employees. The Erie
company, which controls the Pennsyl-
vania Coal company and the Hillside
Coal & Iron company, closed it's case
early in the day, after calling a physi-
clan who testified to the good health
of the mine workers. The Scranton
Coal company, which operates, besides
its own, the collieries of the Elk Hill
Coal & Iron company, then took up the
attack On the demands of the miners.
The Scranton and the Elk Hill COM
panies turn their coal over to the New
York, Ontario & Western railroad.
which virtually controls them The
witnesses called Friday testified gen
orally that no blacklist exists, that the
contract miners work on an average of
from six to seven hours day, that the
local unions compel the men to load
an equal number of cars, thus restrict
ing the output, that the men are care
less in obeying orders, and that fire.
'quent petty strikes occur because a
union man is dismissed for insubordi-
:nation. One inside foreman, in his tes-
timony, said the employment of a
check weighman, insisted upon by the
union, has proved to be good thing
for the company, because the miners
sent to the surface cleaner coal, that
is, coal with very little impurities in it.
The accountant for the Scranton Coal
company presented figures which
showed that since check docking boss
was employed by the company at the
request of the miners the dockage
against the men has been reduced
about one-half. The miners pay the
wages of the check weighman and the
check docking boss. It was also stated
that the checkmen gave no trouble
with the regular weighmen and dock
ing boss of the company. Superintend-
ent May, of the Erie company, testified
. few days ago that the employment
Of check docking bosses is not practi-
sable because the two men would not
sgree regarding the amount of dirt in
. car.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE treasury
department Friday received an official
certified copy of the act approved
Thursday placing coal on the free list.
Upon it's receipt, the department tele-
graphed the necessary instructions to
collectors of customs throughout the
country directing them to put the act

Congressional Investigation to Begin
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE house
committee on merchant marine and
fisheries Friday directed that sub
committee of five be appointed to begin
investigation INTO the subject OF coal
transportation which the house has a u
thorized the committee to make. 1t
is proba bic that this subc ommittee will
first go to Boston to take testimony.
Hearings also will be held in Washing
ton by the remainder of the committee.
The list of witnesses t o be summoned
has not yet been prepared.
British Market Not Affected.
London, Jan. 1.-THE remission of
the coal duties by the United States
congress still appears to have little or
no effect on the British market. 1t is
realized here that America will never
become perman MT custome r for Eng
lish coal and that shipments to the
United States will cease the moment
the American supply overtakes the
demand. At present there are only
two American orders on the Cardiff
market, as compared with at least
dozen a fortnight ago, and eninquiry
for cargoes has slackened.
Little French Coal Will Come.
Paris, Jan. 17.-United States Consul
General Gowdy says it is not likely
that any French coal will be shipped
TO the United States as a result of the
action of the American congress in
placing coal on the free list. The
French mines are unable to meet the
demands of the home market. Many
large factories and railroads are COM
PEELED to bring in Welsh and Belgian
coal of poor grades. French coal sells
normally at above the present Ameri-
can rate, so that there is not sufficient
inducement for French producers to
seek an American market. Owing to
the heavy local demand the United
States consulate has been gathering
statistics showing the advantage of i'm
porting American coal, several French
railroads having expressed the wish to
secure some of the American better
grades.

ODDS AGAINST HIM.
Editor Gonzales Making a Plucky
Fight for Life.
PHYSICIANS GIVE LITTLE HOPE.
Much Sympathy for the Stricken Vic
tim of Tillman's Bullet-Prayers
for His Recovery Probable
Defense of His Assailant.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 17.-Editor N.
c. Gonzales, who was shot and seri-
ously wounded by Lieut.. Gov. Tillman
on the most travelled street in the cap
ital of South Carolina, was holding his
own at midnight. There had been no
change for either the better or the
worse. The crisis is yet to come.
The best doctors in this part of the
state are doing all they can to save
his life, but hold out little hope of his
recovery. At the same time Mr.. Con-
zales is making plucky fight for his
life. AS he has strong constitution,
excellent habits and fresolute will, it
is thought there is chance he may
pull through, notwithstanding his
critical condition and the very serious
nature of the wound.
Much Sympathy.
His condition and the details of the
tragedy are almost the only topics of
conversation in South Carolina.
kilograms came throughout the day
from all parts of the state and from
many places beyond it's borders ex-
pressing sympathy and asking for the
latest news as to his condition.. All
day long sympathetic crowds gathered
around the bulletin board on Main
street and expressed ardent hopes for
the recovery of the stricken man. All
the information obtainable was the
bulletins of the physicians posted on
the boards. No one, not even men,
bers of his family, were permitted to
see the patient.
Prayers for His Recovery.
Friday morning, when the city
schools assembled and prayers were
said, they included an appeal to God
for the recovery of Mr.. Gonzales. At
the South Carolina college prayers
were offered for the recovery of the
stricken editor, and even in the senate
chamber, where Lieut.. Gov. Tillman
had presided shortly before the shoot
ing, the chaplain prayed that the AL
mighty would save the life of Mr..
Gonzales.
No Likelihood of Violence.
While there is great deah Of feeling
over the affair, it can be stated with
positiveness that there is absolutely
no thought of violence against Lieut..
Gov. Tillman on the part of Gonzales
friends. All sensational reports of
threats against Tillman's life in the
event that the stricken editor should
die, are absolutely baseless, as it is the
wish of Mr.. Gonzales and his, closest
