WILL ASK INVESTIGATION.
Miners Propose to Take Their Trou-
bles to Congress.

Denver, Dec. AT a meeting of the
executive committee of the Western
Federation of Miners in this city today
it was agreed to levy an assessment
upon members of the organization for
the benefit of the Goldfield strikers. The
possibility of securing a congressional
investigation of President ROosevelt's
action in sending troops to Goldfield at
the request of Governor Sparks of Ne
vada was discussed, and it was prac-
tically decided to bring the matter to
the attention of congress.
Uterior Motive Charged.
1.-The action of the president in send
ing the troops to Goldfield was the re-
suit of a prearranged conspiracy be-
tween Wall street interests and Gov
ernor Sparks" declared Acting Presi-
dent Mahoney after the executive ses-
sion.
There was absolutely no need for
such action. 1t seems peculiar, to say
the least, that troops should be hur-
ried to Goldfield before the sheriff had
made any request upon the governor
for aid. The action is unprecedented
and some Interior motive is undoubted-
" responsible for the outrage. The fed
Grafton will render every assistance in
its power to the striking miners"
William D. Haywood, secretary of the
federation, declared that the mine own
ers were themselves responsible for the
strike, and any trouble that follows
must be laid at their doors. He said
that the owners had violated their
agreement and ignored a compromise
to which they had agreed. Haywood
declared absurd the story sent out from
Los Angeles that he had instigated the
strike.
Would Not Guarantee Checks.
when 1 left Nevada said Haywood
"the GoIdfield miners and operators
had reached an agreement. The miners
agreed as a compromise to accept their
wages half in cash and half in CASH
iers certificates, and the owners ac-
eepted this compromise. 1t was when
the operators refused to stick to the
terms of the bargain and declined eth
er to guarantee their checks or pay any
part in cash that the miners were
forced to strike. The certificates were
accepted at only one store and the
miners consequently were without
means to live.
IT had a conference with United
States Senator Nixon of the CONSOLE
dated company in which he personally
agreed to the terms of the compromise.
The mine owners have only themselves
to blame for this trouble"

but, l say, why all this thusness?"
I'm tell you after you have answered
''but I'm not asking out of curiosity
it's business"
well, go on; I'll answer
"Who else was with you and Villiers
on that night?" asked Slivers in a mag
isterial kind of manner.
"A French fellow called Vandeloup.'
"Vandeloupw echoed Slivers in sur
prise; ''oh, indeed what was he doing?'
Enjoying himself" replied Barty, cool
ly; ''he came into the theater and VIII
liers introduced him to me; then Mr..
Wopples asked us all to supper"
What time did yandeloup leave?" ask
ed Slivers.
He stayed all night in town."
"Oh" calculated Slives in an excited
manner, drumming on the table with his
fingers. where did he stay?
AT the Waffle Tree Hotel"
Slive-s mentally made note Of this,
and determined to go there and find out
at what time Vandeloup had come home
on the night in question, for this suspi-
cious old man had now sot it into his
head that Vandeloup was in some way
responsible for Viliers' disappearance
Where did Villers say he was going
when he left you?" he asked
Straight home
"Humph. Well, he didn't 60 home at
all. What's become of him? Men don't
disappear in this mysterious way with
out some reason. He's been murdered ~
Il say" calculated Barty, jumping mp
from his chair in alarm you're going too
far, old chap"
I'm going further" retorted Slivers,
rising from his chair and stumping up
and down the room; I'm going to find
out who did it, and then I'll grind her
10 powder; I'll twist her neck off, curse
her"
rs II a woman?" asked Barty, who
now began TO think Of making a retreat
for Slivers, with his one eye blazing, and
his cork arm swinging rapidly to and fro

airy wave of his hand Barty went out
leaving Slivers in anything but a pleas
ant temper.

old man, banging his wooden leg agains

about that. I've found out all I wan
from you, and I'll track her down, anC
put her in Jail, and hang her-hang he
till she's as dead as a door nail"
Having given vent TO this pleasant sen
timent, Slivers put on his hat. and, tax
Ing his stick, walked out Of his Office, bu
not before Billy saw his intention an,
climbed up to his accustomed place on tn
old mans shoulder.

CHAPTER Xv.-(Continued.)
Slivers was just going out to seek him
when tae door of his Office was violently
swung open, and tall, raw-boned female
entered in a bonnet placed askew on her
rough hair. This lady banged on Slivers'
table hube umbrella and demanded
where Villiers was.
"I don't know" snapped Slivers Vi
ciously, ''how should I?'
Don't sneer at me, you wooden-legged
monster" cried the virago, with another
bang Of the umbrella, which raised such
o cloud Of dust that it nearly made Slivers
sneeze his head off. "He amt been home
all night, and you're been leading him
into bad habits, you cork armed libetine.'
Hasn't been home all night, Ell? said
Slivers, sitting up quickly, while Billy
retired TO the fireplace and tried to con-
ceal himself up the chimney. May l
ask who yeu are?'
"You may" said the angry lady, fold
Ing her arms and holding the umbrella in
such an awkward manner that she nearly
poked Slivers' remaining eye out. I'm
his landlady, Matilda Cheedle is my name,
and don't care who knows il"
Its not pretty name" snarled Sliv-
ers. Neither are you. What do you
mean by banging into my office like an
insane giraffe ?"-this in allusion to Mrs
Cheedle's height.
"Oh, 60 on! 20 on :" said that lady de-
family. I've heard it all before; I'm
used to It; but here l sit until you tell
me where my lodger is:" and suiting the
action to the word, Mrs. Chcedle sat down
In a chair with such bang that Billy
gave a screech of alarm and said
Pickles
III have a look round, and If see
him I'll send him home said Slivers,
rising to intimate the interview was at
an end.
Every well, mind you do" said the
widow, rising. "Send him at once and III
speak to him. And perhaps" with q
bashful glance, you wouldn't mind seeing
me up the street a short way, as I'm alone
and unprotected"
Stuff retorted Slivers, ungraciously
"there's plenty of light, and YOU are big
enough to look after yourself"
At this Mrs Cheedle snortei loudly like
a war horse. and flounced out of the Office
in a rage, after informing Slivers in g
loud voice that he was a selfish, cork-eyet
little viper.
When she had gone S)ivers locked VI

ing villiers, but though he went all ovel
town to that gentleman's favorfte haunts

This was so contrary to Villiers' gen

and as he walked home thinking over tn

CHAPTER XVII

1t was some time before Mrs. yilliers
recovered from the shock caused by her
encounter with her husband. The blow
he had struck her on the side of the head
turned out to be more serious than was
at first anticipated aud Selma deemed
it advisable that a doctor should be called
in. So Archie went TO Ballarat, and re-
turned to the Pactolus with DR.. Golli-

pearances are deceptive BY bringing Mad

NJ. Vandeloup had met Or. Gollipeck. and
the two, though apparently dissimilar in
both character and appearance. had been
attracted TO one another by liking which
they had in common. This was the study
OF toxicology, A science at which the &C.
centric old man had spent lifetime. He
found Vandeloup congenial spirit. for
the young Frenchman had a wonderful
liking for uhe uncanny subject: b.. there
was a difference in the aims OF both men.
Gollipeck being drawn to the study of
poisons from pure love of the subject.
whereas Vandeloup wanted to find out the
secrets of toxicology for his own ends.
Wearied of the dull routine OF the of
Ace work. yandeloup was taking a walk
in the meadows which surrounded the
Pactolus, when he saw DR.. Gollipeck shuf
fling along the dusty white road from the
railway station.
"Good-day, Monsieur lie Medecin.- said
Vandeloup, saily, as he came up to the
old man. How goes the great work?
"Capitally," returned the doctor, with a
compliment smile; lust finished Catherine

CHAPTER XVI.

Sivers was puzzled over Villiers' disap
pearance, SO he determined to go in search
of evidence against Madame Midas,
though for what reason he wanted evil
dence against her no one but himself
knew.
The reason he had for turning detec-
tive was simply this: II soon became
known that Madame Midas had been rob
bed by her husband of the famous mug
get. and great was the indignation of
everyone against Mr.. villiers.
Sliyers waylaid Barty and asked him
to drop into his Office with view of
finding out from him all the events Of
that night.
Its very kind of you 10 come and
tan to an old chap like me-" said Slivers,
IN as amiable a tone as he could com
mand. You're such a gay young fel-
low"
Barty acknowledged nodestly that he
was gay, but that he owed certain duties
to society. and had to be mildly social.
And 50 handsome croaked Slivers,
winking with his one eye at Billy, who
sat on the table. ''Oh, he's all there,
amt he, Billy?"
Billy. however, did not agree 10 this,
and merely observed Pickles" in a dis
believing manner.
Barty felt rather overcome by this
praise, and blushed in a modest way, but
Selt that he could not return the compli-
ment with any degree of truth, as Slivers
was not handsome, neither was he ali
there.
Sliv.rs, who had thus gained the good
will of the young man by fattery, plunged
unto the subject Of villiers' disappearance.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS AND PROB.
LENS.

The have been very frequent and
generally very fatal during the last
year and in every state men are asking
"What is the natter"
There are many causes, The men in
authority and the men responsible for
running trains have been overworked.
1t is hard to keep tracks on soft
ground in repair under the awfully
heavy trains and locomotives that are
being run over them. The rails made
now-a- days are not all as good as they
were formerly. Worn-out rails, crys
tailized by the incessent pounding oil
uneven wheels are re-melted and roll
led into new rails, though half their
first strength is gone. The storms
have been unprecedented SHOWS
floods, washouts landslides, have de-
layed trains and congested business.
1t has been impossible to get new
rails and rolling stock as fast as need
ed so that often, inste,Nd of men run
mig the business of the reads, the bus
mess has run the men. Then there
have been unaccountable accidents.
Trains have jumped the tracks with
no apparent reason. And when trains
do that they always jump to the right,
especially on north and south roads.
1t would be foolish. of course, to say
that atmospheric or electrical conIi-
lions had their influences on railroad
trains. But who knows? A railroad
train is not so big as an earthquake or
a cyclone
The above are some of the causes,
but what is the remedy? One would
naturally say. double the tracks, run
the trains slower and run more of
them. That was doubtless the thought
In Jim Hills mind when he said that
$3,000.000.000 would be needed in thu
next five years to keep the trunk lines
up to the efficiency needed to handle
the accommodating business. Indeed,
they can handle only eighty per cent
OF the bushes that Is upon them now.
In the meantime such a scare has been
precipitated upon the country; rail-
road managers have been painted SO
black by an ignorant and unscrupu-
lous press that capital will not accept
ordinary railroad securities When is
the burden of all this to fall? 1t looks
to us as though 1t would be upon the
people at large. Miners and manufac.
turers will not be able to get machin-
cry; farmers will not be able to move
their crops or their live stock: If tner.

famines three months ago. What will
be the condition next winter?
The west can stand 1t better than the
east, for the masses of eastern people
who live in eastern cities have not

only the people but the men who deal
in food-stuffs. in the very necessities |

toners on hand.
The progress of the country Is link |
ed inseparably with the transporta-
ton facilities. with every branch roa
that is built there are more supplies
for the trunk lines to carry in more
products for them to bring out.
1t seems to us that the situation is
most critical, for in the past year we
have had the first object terror of
