Work of Commissioners.

The board of county commissioners
has been in session since Monday but
the work they have done has been
very little because of the arguments
that have taken place in regard to the
bitches that are wanted in the towns
of Albin and Sigel. These two ditch
es are considered to be among the
most important in the county and they
drain large amount of land. The
commissioners decided to view the
route of the bitches before they or
derea them in.
The petition of the people of Leaven-
worth for an iron bridge across the
Cottonwood river was granted and a
committee was appointed to select a
site for the bridge. Liquor licenses
we're granted to Magnus Neudahl OF
Golden and to Geo. Fisher Of Searles.
The purchasing committee was in
structed to take up the sidewalk on
three sides of the court house square
because the city will grade these streets
and when a new walk is laid it will be
of cement or some equally substantial
material.
Citizens of the town of Hanska asked
for an appropriation of $500 for the
purpose of building a road in that
town was laid over for investigation
and will be taken up later. The work
of several other committees was also
laid over.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 8.-Accarding
to information given out at the head
quarters Of the Masters and Pilots
association here to-day, the deadlock
on the Great Lakes will be at once
officially brought to the attention of
the department of commerce and
labor at Washington with a view to
securing a settlement Of existing Diff
ferences between the Masters and
Pilots and the Lake Carriers associa-
ton thru arbitration. Not until every
effort has been exhausted in this d.

branches employed on lake vessels. /
District Captain Howell of the Mas
ters and Pilots association announces
that tWenty-six members who re-
Gently resigned from the Cleveland,
Detroit and Milwaukee harbors have
repented their action and were to-day
reinstated In the organization.
| Captain Howell to-day directed at
tention to a clause in the contracts
made between the Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION and the unions which pro-
vided that the members shall not be
| asked to sail with nonunion men. This
clause Howell declared would justify
| the meI1 in refusing to sail with non
| union captains and mates.
Referring to this subject to-day,
President Livingstone said the clause
in question could in no possible man
ner apply to the masters and pilots.

at Maunie, early to-day, clamoring for
his life. Sheriff Conroy and thirty-si2
armed deputies were keeping back

son, who has lost both eyes, begs the

crime. He shows no emotion and
only says: People don't kill one
another for nothing"

LAKE STRIKE
SEEMS BROKEN
Vessels Prepare to Move at All

Strike.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, June 8.-The great strike
on the lakes, which began twenty
seven days ago, tying up 600 boats
and throwing out of work $4,000
members Of crews and 100000 others,
is now broken. After having, tied
things, up and inflicting financial
loss of $2,265, 900 in wages and Of
$3,240,O0O to vessel owners, the Mas
tiers and Pilots association has cast
unanimous vote In favor of aftili-
;ating itself with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. ~ 20
This action, the vessel1nen contend,
shows that the association has capt.
| ulated and that the long and bitter
struggle is practically at an end.
All was busy at the Chicago har-
Dor this morning, and preparation for
the movement of vessels is being made
at all Of the great lake ports. Many
l.vesselmen, however, have practically
I, abandoned the idea, of doing any ex-
tensive business this season. In stat
ing that the members of the Lake
Carriers association are able; to get
out all the boats needed, the vessel
men refer to the slack business con-
| ditions., ti1 ~
With the tie-up practically broken
the unionists and vessel owners are
commencing to estimate the losses
sustained since May IL. when the
strike began. Vesselmen say it is i'm
possible to tell definitely their losses
and the figures given above apply only
to the business contracted for and
known to be a total loss. In estima-
ting the number of men idle, conserva-
tive leaders Of both sides place the
figures at from 10000 to 100000. This
includes the dock hands, workmen in
the ore industry, cooks, walters, and
others, who have been forced out OF
work on account Of the stand of the
masters and pilots. With the loss in
wages running close to $4,000, 900, the
union finds Its members DESERVING by
the score and the vesselmen daily
sending out their boats and resuming
business with nonunion crews.
The navigation season opened April
25, and since May II. some 600 boats
have been tied up. The crews on these
boats did not number more than 49,.
900, AS the duration Of the strike ex
tended the number out Of employment
steadily increased as many industrie!
concerned were compelled to shu
down.

tan's Letter in reply to the diplomatic
representations made in regard to the

RUSSIANS SCENT BIG FIGHT

cial Conflict in the East.

st. Petersburg, June 8, 2:07y p. me-
The reports of sorties from and att
tacks, upon Port Arthur coming In
from foreign sources arouse the live
Hest interest here. The government.
not having means Of communicate
with the fortress, accepts them With
reserve.
The authorities generally believe
that the reported march Of events in
the front OF Port Arthur Is little
too rapid. The tension over the sit
uaion at the theater Of war Is man
ifestly increasing.
The general staff Is becoming more
rettcent and the public is convinced
that an important battle, which may
decide the fate Of the campaign, is
impending.
The outpost engagements between
the main armies Of Generals Kuro-
patkin and Kuroki have suddenly
ceased. Such a lull frequently oc-

has not moved, according to late adj
vices, but Is drawing in his skirmish-
ers as If preparing to do SO.
Developments on the lower part OF
the Liao-tung peninsula may deter
mine when and where the two armies
will come in collision. Kuropatkin
has deliberately fortified his position
at Liao-yang In expectation Of
forward movement by Kuroki and
the army landed at Ta-ku-sl1an.
But Kurokts failure to assume the
aggressive and the approach Of the
rainy season, which would stop opera
