has made it impossible for General
Kuropatkin to proceed southwark and
hence the garrison at the fort must

DRASTIC

Cripple Greek, Colo, June TO-
The Citizens Alliance is now endeav-
oring TO bring about the condition
that every person connected with any
union here, either must sever his or
her connection with such organization
or leave this district and they are
sending out a decree to hat effect.
The stand seemed absurd to the three
or four thousand unionists a few days
ago but is is now considered more seri-
ously. Tyson S. Dimes, a Denver at
torney, and n of the executors of
the Stratton estate, is here in confer
ence with Citizens Alliance leaders
and it is announced that he is prepar-
ing a form which will be presented
to every merchant and business man
and other employers of labor in the
entire distict, pledging them not to
employ any person who is affiliated
with a labor union.
No person who works for a living
will be exempt and the absolute an
Inhalation of unionism in this country
is predicted by members of the Citi-
zens' Alliance and the Mine Owners
association. This is considered the
most drastic step yet taken by the AL
lance since ii secured the upper hand
in the district and its enforcement
will affect 5000 men and ONE now
affiliated with the various unions.
Victor, Col, June 9.-Dunnville,
the new mining camp thirteen miles
out of Victor, was the scene of a
pitched battle about 3 O'Clock yester-
day afternoon when the militia and
union miners clashed. John Carley,
a union miner, was killed and the
troops returned with fourteen cap
tives. 1t vas reported before the spec
ial train left Victor that the miners
about the hills of Dunnville num-
bered about $50 and intended to march
into Victor and relieve the prisoners
held there. The fourteen captives
taken said there were but twenty-one
men in the mountains of the town.
When the train had reached Dunn
Vile, at the command of General Bell,
the troops left the train and prepared
to march against the one cabin and
six or seven tents. They received a
volley of shots from various vantage
points on the hills. The deputies re.
turned fire and soon saw they could
make a round up of the miners of the
mountains, on account of their superb
or force, and this they did.

SUGAR BETS IN MAINE.

Mr.. c. Is. Knowlton of Liberty in shin
ping a carload of apples to Menominee,
Michigan, his former place of residence,
sent a sample of sugar beets he had grown
as al experiment, The Daily Herald Leader
Of Menominee in its issue of Nov. 9Th pub
iished the following item under a display
heading:
Claudius B. Knowlton, former resident
OF this city and for many years an en-
pl0yee of the K. c. Co., raised number of
chnlce sugar beets on his property in Maine
ana shipped them to this city to compare
with the beets here When tested they
showed sugar content of 123 while local
products show between II and 10 per cent.
\ comparison is thus obtained of the ad-
vantages of the two sections of the country
in the raising of sugar beets.
Mr.. knowlton says that beets lose their
sugar after heavy rain, but regain it
under other conditions, and thinks his
beets if shipped at another time might
have made a better showing However,
the percentage of sugar is very good one
and equal to that of beets grown in some
sections Of Michigan. In some States sugar
beetS cannot be grown successfully, but
Mi. hnoWlton says that part of Maine and
ot ANA ia are in the sugar belt. The firm
by which he was employed has plant cost
ing $1,000, 200, a capacity Of one thousand
tons OF beets a day, and employs 800 hands
There are ether smaller plants in the place,
and IL in he country, all established with

The Democratic Shipping Policy.

In letter recently made public Mr. F. S.
Pendleton, 100 Pearl street, New York, thus
defines the conclusions Of the Democratic
party upon the question of protection to
shipping in the foreign trade:
"rhe Democratic party no longer advo-
Gates the free American registry of foreign
built ships-it has abandoned free trade
and advocates protection through the old
successful Democratic policy Of discrimi-
mating duties for restoring American ships
to the foreign-carrying trade. Proof of this
assertion will be found:

with the Democratic party thus advo-
eating and promising to restore American
shipping, with an ins:stent demand for an
American merchant marine growing strong
er in all parts of the Union, with both par
ties and their candidates favOring legisla-
ton, the next session of congress should
witness the adoption of an American mari
time policy that will again give to Ameri-
ean-built ships the carrying of the great
bulk of our imports and exports. AS a

that this matter may receive your earnest
