The latest Nebraska crop bulletin
■ays: Reports for the week just closed
are not quite so favorable as those for
the preceding week. The hot dry winds
of the first half of the period were in
jurious to all crops, but fortunately
were succeeded by refreshing showers
before any lasting damage was done.
The growth of corn was interrupted
and oats caused to ripen too rapidly,
otherwise it is probable that the gen
eral outlook is as favorable for good
crop yields in Nebraska as they have
been during the season. Wheat har
vesting is progressing finely and in
some sections the crop has all been
saved. Not enough has yet been
threshed, however, to justify any fair
estimate of what the yield will be.

Dnpenlt Fighting Among Miners.
Wkir Citv, Kan., July 21.—The ex
pected crisis has come in the Kansas
miners’ strike. Miners who were will
ing to work quietly and peacefully hare
been attacked by the strikers and blood
has been shed.
The feeling, which has been growing
more and more bitter for several days,
culminated today in a fierce battle at
Clements pit, one mile south of this
city. All the forenoon there were mut
tcrings of the approaching storm and
the feeling was universal that serious
trouble was at hand. Just before noon
a band of 500 of the strikers, headed by
100 women, which had been marching
to the various Strip pits, reached Clem
ents pit. and sent in a committee to
persuade the miners working there to
quit. This they refused to do, and
when the committee reported the en
tire body of marchers moved on to the
works to force them out.
The Strip men were ready for them,
and when they passed the trespass line
they were tired upon and a general bat
tle ensued, in which Winchesters, pis
tols and clubs were used.
liver HO shots were fired and it Is
nothing short of a miracle that nobody
was killed. One man was wounded in
the forehead, another in the leg, a boy
was shot in the foot and one of the
women got a ball through her arm.
None of the wounds are fatal and it is
uenevi'ci mai none ot tnern are danger
ous. A number on both sides were
badly beaten up with clubs and clubbed
with guns. The wounded were quickly
removed by • their friends and their
names have not been learned.
As a result of the battle the men in
the Strip were vouted by the strikers
and were forced to flee for their lives,
pursued by a howling mob, which
would have lynched them had they
been caught. The owner of the Clem
ents, his son and a man named llig
Dick Reed are said to be the ones who
did the shooting, and they have given
themselves up, and were run out of the
county for safe keeping.
The excitement was intense after
the shooting, and it was feared that
matters would become worse, but a
prominent striker, George R. Fulton,
made the crowd a speech, in which
he advised them to keep cool
and counseled peace. It is rumored
that a quantity of firearms have been
received here tonight. The excitement
continues at a high pitch, and further
bloodshed now seems inevitable.
The strikers were led by 100 women
and in the vanguard were also an equal
number of children. They were evi
dently placed in the front rank in the
belief that the guards and the men at
work would not tire upon them. The
men followed behind them and the
whole body, men, women and children,
were armed with sticks and clubs and
some with firearms. In the front rank
four flags were carried, one big United
States flag and on either side of it two
black flags. The latter were carried
by Gevman women. When the men at
work and the guards fired upon the
strikers the children fled, but the
women entered boldly into the fight
and fought with as much ferociousness
as the men. They wielded their clubs
with vigor and precision and many a
sore head tonight has its cause in the
clubs in the women’s hands.
Suspension of Pensions.
Washixgtox, July 22.—“No one sin
gle pensioner has been suspended un
der the face of his claim unless under
the law he was not entitled to a pen
sion,” said Commissioner of Pensions
Lochren to a reporter. “Tflere has
been a great deal of misrepresentation
of the facts as to the actual policy of
the pension bureau in these cases,'* con
tinued the judge. “I have just written
out a statement as to that policy, and
here it is.”
The statement to which the commis
sioner referred is a very interesting one
to all pensioners and reads as follows:
“Under pension laws enacted prior to
June, 1880, pensions were granted based
upon disabilities incurred in the mili
tary or naval service, and in many cases
specific ratings for particular disabili
ties were designated in the acts of con
gress, amd it was provided, generally,
that for inferior disabilities, an amount
proportionate to that for total disabil
ity should be granted- Vnder this gen
eral provision, specific ratings for such
inferior disabilities were fixed by rules
and orders of the bureau, with the ap
proval of the secretary of the interior.
Pensions granted for such disability of
service origin are presumed to have
been properly granted and there will
be no interference with these pensions.
“Section 2, of the act of June. 1890.
provides that all persons who served
ninety days or more in the military or
haval service of the United States
during the war of the rebellion, or who
hatfe been honorably discharged there
from, and who are now suffering ftom
a mental or physical disability of a
permanent character, not the result of
their own vicious habits, which inca
paciates them from the performance of
manuel labor in such a degree as to
render them unable to earn a support,
shall, upon making due proof of the
fact, according to such rules and regu
lations as the secretary of the interior
may provide, be placed upon the list of
pensioners and be entitled to receive a
pension not exceeding *12 per month,
and not less than *6 per month, propor
tioned to the disability to earn a sup
port. This act permits the pensioning
of soldiers for disabilities of a perma
nent character, although not of service
origin, which incapatiates them from
the performance of manual labor in
such a degree as to render them unable
to earn a support. It is this incapacity
for manual labor alone which entitles
them to be pensioned under this act,
and it is plain that no specific injury or
disability which does not affect the
capacity for manual labor gives any
right to a pension under the act last re-,
ferred to.
“Under an order, 164, issued October
15, 1890, and approved by the assistant
secretary of the interior, it was directed,
in substance, that claimants under the
act of June 37, 1890, should be rated
for specific disabilities the same as if
they were of service origin up to the
maximum rating of $12 per month, and
where the disability, if of service
origin, would be rated higher than $12
per month. The effect of the order
is illustrated by the Bennett case,
which called attention to it. In that
case a claimant under the act of June
27, 1890, was rated for slight deafness
at $13 per month, yet it was manifest
that slight deafness would not not in
terfere materially with the claimant's
capacity to perform manual labor.
Upon inquiry the medical referee re
ported back that slight deafness did not
produce inability of a claimant to per
form manual labor and was not ordi
narily considered under the act of June
27, 1890.
H viyis, therefore, deemed necessary
that these cases be re-examined, and
that where it appeared upon the face
of the papers that the claimants were
not upon the evidence submitted, enti
tled to pensions under the act of June
27. 1890, such pensions should be sus
pended and notice given pensioners to
present further evidence in support of
their claims. But where the claimant
ultimately failed to show himself enti
tled to pension under the law of June
27, 1890 the pension should be dropped
and the case rejected.
"This is the only class of cases that is
being examined and revised by this
bureau, and the necessity for such ac
tion is, I think, sufficiently obvious.”
"That is the statement,” said the
commissioner, "and I wish to say th^t
not one single pensioner has ever been
suspended save those where, upon the
face of their claims, it appeared that
under the law they were notedtitled to
the pensions, and each one had and will
be given an opportunity tb be heard.”
Work for Speaker Crisp.
Washington, July 24.—'The more the
question is considered the more gen
erally is it conceded that Speaker Crisp
has a pretty hard hot weather job on
his hands in the matter of making np
the house committees. In their gen
eral reorganization there will neces
sarily be a large number of changes in
the assignments of several members.
In a large measure this will be accounted
for by reason of the fact that there will
be about seventy-five men in the Fifty
third congress who never before served
in the national legislature, besides
those who, although they have had pre
vious experience as congressmen, weip
not members of the last house. Be
sides this in a number of cases the
heads of committees have been left at
home for one reason or another, and,
as is always the case, there is a scram
ble among the surviving members of
several committees as to who shall suc
ceed their chiefs. Speaker Crisp has
therefore no easy task before him in
the preparation of his list. It is re-,
called that when Mr, Carlisle entered
upon his second, and later upon his
third term as speaker of the house, it
took him in each instance at least two
or three weeks longer to prepare the
committees than it did after his first
election.
The circumstances were such that
Mr. Carlisle entered upon his second
term absolutely unpledged. They are
the same now, and Judge Crisp will as
cend the speaker's chair to preside over
the Fifty-third congress without hav
ing any promises to keep or any re
wards to bestow. He will have twenty
one chairmanships of important com
mittees to distribute among those who
never presided over a committee before.
The gentlemen who were chairmen of
the following committees in the last
house will not be member* of the next
congress: Elections, banking and cur
rency, and merchants, marine and fish
eries, foreign affairs, Indian affairs,
mines and mining, pensions, District of
Columbia expenditures, on public build
ing, mileage and on enrolled bills, re
form in civil Service, immigration, ven
tilation and acoustics, alcoholic liquor
traffic, investigation of the pension of
fice, management and irrigation of arid
lands.
Mr. O’Ferrell of Virginia, who was
chairman of the committee on elections
in the last house was re-elected to the
Fifty-third congress, but is making a
fight, which has every promise of suc
cess, for the gubernatorial nomination
of his own state. In all probability,
therefore, he will resign his seat in
congress and the election committee
will require a new head. The most
probable successor of Colonel O'Ferrell
in this position, will be Mr. James Cobb
of Alabama. Judge Cobb has a splen
did reputation as a lawyer, which is
not by any means confined to his own
state. His ability in this direction was
such as to demand immediate recogni
tion from Speaker Crisp and secured
him his assignment on the elections
committee.
Death of an Ex-Governor of Iowa.
Des Moines, la., July 21.—Governor
Boies has issued the following procla
mation in graceful recognition of the
death of one of his predecessors: “I
regret to announce to the people of
Iowa the death of their former gov
ernor , William Stone, who died at his
home at Oklahoma City, Okh, on the
18th inst., and whose remains will be
interred with appropriate funeral cere
monies at his old home in Knoxville,
la., on the 21st of this month. Gov
ernor Stone was first elected to the
office of chief magistrate of Iowa in the
fall of 1863, and held the same from
1864 to 1868. inclusive, discharging its
various duties to the credit of himself
and the honor of his stufe. As an ap
propriate mark of respect to his mem
ory it is recommended that all flags on
public buildings of this state be dis
played at half mast on the day thereof,
to-wit, the 21st of July, 1893. This
office will be closed.”

Cok« of Tessa Thinks Finance Should Hot
Monopolise the Extra Session.
New Yoke, July 22:—Replying'to cer
tain questions regarding1 the Sherman
law and extra session of congress pro
pounded by the World to Hon. Richard
Coke, that gentleman, under date of
Waco., Tex., July 17, has written as
folllows.
"In my judgment much of the de
pression results from the fast that the
people have at general elections, when
the subject was the absorbing one of
the canvass, demanded a thorough and
radical reform of the tariff, leaving
manufacturers, producers of raw ma
terial and consumers alike in a condi
tion of expectancy of this reform at the
earliest possible day. .
“All industries of the country under
this condition are carried on in a hand,
to mouth way, filling only immediate
and pressing requirements, producing
very largely the stagnation which now
exists, hence I believe that the tariff
question should be taken up at the
earliest possible moment and dealt with
as expeditiously as practicable, and the
reform demanded by the people thor
oughly made. I think the duties of
congress, when it meets, will be to
commence at once and perfect this
work. I can see no reason whya tariff
bill and all the financial legislation
needed may not commence and progress
together as soon as congress meets. i
■ railing to take up the tariff ques
tion at the extra session of congress
would, in my judgment, have an ex
ceedingly .bad influence on the country,
and especially on the democratic party.
For congress to be called together and
do nothing with the tariff, upon which
the people have repeated 1/ spoken with
no uncertain sound, Mould leave an ex
tremely bad impression of thfe good
faith of the democratic party in the
promises made in its platform.
“Now, about the financial question.
I do not believe that a Bimple repeal of
the Sherman law will give relief. If
we can get free and uhlimited coinage
of silver I believe the financial question
will be settled permanently, and in my
judgment it never will be until that re
sult is reached. I fear this is not prac
ticable, but as the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman bill would be equiva
lent to a total demonetization of silver,
in my opinion, and being unalterably
opposed to this result, I can see no re
lief in dealing with it unless it is re
placed by some act which shall fully
and unequivocally recognize the deter
mination of the country to adhere to a
bimetalic currency. The Sherman act
repealed, the bland act, under which
not less than 2,000,000 nor more than
4,000,000 standard silver dollars were
coined monthly, should be revived. To
repeal the Sherman act without enact
ing something at least as good as the
Bland act could leave no other conclu
sion but that the country had deliber
ately abandoned the premises of the
democratic platform and determined to
place itself upon the single gold stand
ard. To avoid any danger of this I
cannot support any act repealing th«
Sherman law which does not embodi
the substitute referred to, so that whet
the Sherman act goes out of effect the
substitute shall take effect at once.
i“To sum up, I believe that as soon ai
the trt’o houses of congress are or^an
ized they should go to work to redeem
the promises of the platform with res
pect to the establishment of a metallic
currency, expressing my opionion on
the subject to be that the free coinage
of silver on the same plan with gold
would be the proper mode of doing this,
feeling satisfied that an act for thie
purpose could be buttressed and guard
ed so as to produce and maintain a
parity between gold and silver coin
and, at the same time to go vigorously
to work on a tariff bill which shall re
deem in good faith the pledges of the
democratic party to the country in the
vital matter of a reduction of taxation.
Neither one of these issues can be post
poned, the latter no more than the
former. I therefore cannot concur in
the suggestion for congress to meet
8>nd adjourn after talcing* action upon
financial question, leaving the
tariff for future legislation. ”
