MUST APPLY TO THE COURTS
Miners Expelled by the Citizens Alliance of Idaho Springs Colo
Get Cole Comfort From Governor
Peabody

" ENVER, Aug. 3.-President J. c.
Craig of the Citizens alliance said
today that he believed that the
action Of the Citizens alliance of Idaho
Springs in expelling union miner. who
We're accused of completely in the blow
ing up Of the Sun and Moon converter
would be commended at the meeting of
the Denver alliance. but that no radical
or unlawful action would be taken. He
expressed indignation az the action of
the Denver Typographical union in
adopting resolutions warning the al
lance against following the example of
the Idaho Springs alliance.
1t is. not the intention said Mr..
Craig, ito drive any one out of Den
YER. But in Idaho Springs the situation
was different, for men had been MAX
ing threats for months and finally re-
sorted to dynamite. l believe the COM
munity not only saved considerable ex-
pense, but also prevented the sacrifice
OF many lives by their action and there
fore it should be commended.
President Craig said further that a
resolution would be introduced TO ask
the police TO enforce rigidly the law
against carrying arms. He added that
his own life had been threatened, but
that he had no fear of violence.
A communica ton was received today
from Sheriff Sandberg OF Idaho Springs
by a committee of the miners who were
expelled from that town. in answer TO
a letter sent by them to the sheriff
in which they notified him that Gov
ernor Peabody had advised them 10

lection. Sheriff SandbeTg replies thar
he intends to maintain law and order
in Clear Greek county without favor
or Partially towards any person or
class.
Governor Peabody today answered
the petition of the Idaho Springs min
ers union asking protection from the
state against the Punishment OF the un-
ion miners by the Alliance organiza-

Sacred College Again Fails to
Elect a Pope.
ROME is GREATLY ExeHsB
NO INDICATIONS OF END OF
STRUGGLE.

ID ONE. Aug. 3-After three fun days
Is of deliberation. during which six
ballots have been taken, the mem
bers Of the conclave stiI remain shut
up in the vatican without having Sc
lected a successor to Leo XIII. The
futility Of both the ballots taken today
was evidenced by the smoke which
arose from the Sistine chapel. This
mute signal this evening was watched
by another large crowd. which parity
filled the square of Sar Pietro. and
which, IL was estiuateti.s mum berea
about 1900. Great disappointment was
manifest, and when the little puff 90
smoke appeared there were LOUD cries
not only of disappointment, but even
of derision.
Rome is becoming extremely impa-
tent over the delay in the selection
of the new pope, concerning which
there appears TO be no definite expla-
nation, owing to the rigid secrecy with
which the proceedings within the con-
claVe are being guarded. Today prac-
ticGily the only news that came from
the Sistine chapel was that OF the ex-
tremely grave illness of Cardinal Her

the other aged cardinals are also suf-
fering from their prolonged fncarcer-
alton and the intense heat.
Among the ambassadors and ecciesi-
astics there exists a general opinion
that If only for the sake of relieving
the cardinals. much may be sacrificed
within the cOnclave 20 arrive at
speedy conclusion.
On the other hand there are a few
pessimistic enough TO believe that the
hostility among the factions in the
sacred college is SO bitter that the
struggle may be continued for several
weeks.
