The agitation for parcels post goes
GU in Congress aud out. Our present
method is absurd and terribly expen-
sive. TO send package of merchau-
disc through the mails it must weigh
less than four pounds, and then it costs
ten times as much as it costs in Eng
land or Germany, where any parcel less
than 10 pounds may be sent. Thanks
to our stupidity, an Englishman can
send eleven pounds by post from Edln'
burg to Oregon, across the Atlantic and
straight across the United States. cheap
err than New Yorker can send four
pounds from Rochester to Buffalo. Are

A close student of Congress must be
convinced that the commercial interests
of the nation control legislation, and
that politics, even in a presidential cam
palgn year, are but incidental. B''h
republicans and democrats protest that
they are not swayed in the least by par
tisan motives, but seek only the glory,

as long as the public funds hold out, so

May Build Another Yacht.

London.-Sir Thomas Upton is
paying a visit to the Clyde for the
purpose, it is believed, of arranging
for the design and construction of a
fourth Shamrock In a publised in
terview Sir Thomas said the yacht
designers seemed to think that the
changed rules in measurement made
in New York would give a British
boat a better chance Of lifting the
cup, but his own preference would
be to peg away on the former lines.
cit seems to me- said Sir Thomas,
that victory scored under exactly
the same conditions that governed
our previous defeats would be more
satisfactory than to win under new
rules. It is a matter, however, for
which those are responsible who de-
sign and sail the boat"

SUIT FOR HEAVY DAMAGES.
George Rice Wants $3,C00,000 From
Standard Oil.

Trenton, N. George Rice of Ma
rietta, o., commenced suit in the
United States Circuit Court for 3d.
100000 damages against the Standard
Oil Company for the alleged running
Of his oil business by the defendant
company. Rice charges that the
Standard Oil Company compelled re-
eeivers to charge his customers ex-
horbltant freight rates; that the COM
pany opened grocery stores to break
down his competition, and in other
ways succeeded in taking away from
him 1000 customers, an oil refining
plant, worth $750,OO0, and business,
worth $4,000 year. This suit is
brought under the interstate COM
merce act of 1890, and is similar in
character to one entered in the Court
Of Chancery of New Jersey by Rice,
in which he seeks to compel the revo-
cation of the company's charter un-
der the laws of New jersey.

Absolute reserve is maintained in re-

MORE TROUBLE
IS BREWING
CRIPPLE CREEK STRIKE SITUA-
TON GROWING SERIOUS.
GOVERNOR HURRIES BACK
Three Lawyers and Twelve Other Citi-
zens Shipped From Cripple Creek.
Over 1000 Miners Make an Attack
on Mercantile Store and Wreck
and Loot it.

Cripple Creek, Col.-No secret is
made here Of the fact that the depor-
tation Of Attorney Eugene, Frank j.
Hangs and J. C. Cole, and twelve 9TH
er men from this district Sunday
night, was planned by members of the
Mine Owners Association and Citi-
zens' Alliance, and was carried out
under their direction.
The Ell Paso Vindicator, Fidelity
and other large mines were closed
down when the day shift stopped
work, and the miners of both day and
night shifts were requested to assem-
BILE in Cripple Greek, as trouble was
brewing. A report had been circulat-
ed that several hundred deported I'M
ion men were returning to the camp
in a body, and it had been determined
to drive them away again should they
come. This report proved to be ground
less.
However, other work had been laid
out for the 1000 Or more miners who
swarmed into town, and acting under
orders given by leading citizens they
proceeded to Ground up' the fedora
ton attorneys, employees of the In
Itermountain Mercantile Company
Store, and others who have openly ex-
pressed sympathy with the Western
Federation of Miners, and escorted
them beyond the city limits. During
the entire proceedings the sheriff of
Teller county and the mayor and city
marshal of Cripple Creek were out of
town. Under Sheriff Parsons and
Deputy Thomas Underwood attempt
ed to control the mob, but were easily
overpowered.
Many of the deputies who have been
employed in the district since the
riots early in June, it is alleged, were
active as leaders Of the mob.
City Marshal Crowder arrived from
Victor while the looting Of the Inter
mountain Merchantile Company's
store was in progress and essayed in
vain to stop the destruction OF prop
erty. The store is completely wrecked
and the entire stock, valued at sever
al thousand dollars, destroyed or sto-
len.
Sheriff Bell arrived from Denver af-
ter the mob had finished its work and
took measures for the protection of
the prisoners in Jail. He said that
he had no intention of asking the gov
ernor to send troops to the district.
He had advised President Meyer and
Secretary Haywood of the Western
Federation Of Miners, he said, not
to carry out their announced purpose
of sending the deported miners back
to this camp, as he would be powerless
to protect them.
Governor Peabody, enroute to Dem
yer from Canon City, said: I am re-
turning to Denver day earlier than
I expected, in order to be ready to
control the Cripple Creek situation if
necessary"
