EAST IS WAITING
MINE WORKERS WANT TO KNOW
WHAT WEST WILL DO.
PRESENTSUPPLYOF ANTHRACITE
Its Exhaustion Would Mean Closing of
Thousands of Factories and ludus
trial Paralysis—The Plan May Be
Blocked.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind„ June 21.—It
Is estimated by W. B. Wilson, secre
tary and treasurer of the United Mine
W’orkers of America, that the present
supply of anthracite coal above
ground would be exhausted in less
than three months if there should be
a general suspension of work in the
mines. According to this estimate, if
the national convention of mine
workers in Indianapolis July 17 should
vote for a general suspension of work
in support of the anthracite strike,
as is now proposed, the vast Indus
trial machinery of the United States
would be handicapped for fuel, so that
thousands of factories would have to
suspend work,
Mr. Wilson has statistics showing
that there are approximately 147,000
miners in the country, scattered
through thirty states. The miners of
twenty-four states would be actively
Involved if there should he a sus
pension of operations. In Idaho, Ne
vada, California, the Dakotas, North
Carolina and two or three other
brown ccal, known as lignite, is min
ed, hut the organization did not take
these states into consideration when
it issued a call yesterday for the na
tional convention. There are now over
300.000 members of the mine workers
organized. Mr. Wilson says that
nearly every non-union man would
so out tf a general suspension of
work should he ordered. During the
first anthracite strike of two years
ago there were only 8,000 anthracite
men in the organization, yet over
125.000 went out.
The anthracite organization now in
cludes 17,000 men and since the strike
was ordered a few days ago many Vir
ginia and West Virginia men have
cotne into the union. Probably the
largest supply of coal Is In the bins at
Buafflo, N. Y., and other cities along
the great lakes.
Canada has no coal on which this
country could draw if there should be
a general tie up. The British isles
might supply a part of the market,
hut at a price that would he almost
prohibitive to the manufacturers and
ordinary consumers. The tariff on im
ported coal is 60 cents a ton more
than the miners receive, as a rule, for
mining in the United States.
At the coming convention the belief
Is that the competitive districts, West
ern Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois, will take a hand against a
general strike, These states have con
tracts that they do rot want to break.
The combined vote of the competitive
district with that of Iowa, is expected
to prove strong enough to prevent the
success of the proposition for a gen
eral strike.
There are a number of states whose
agreements expire July 1, and It will
depend largely on the outcome of the
deliberations between the operators
and miners as to where the balance of
power will lie In the convention.
May Try to Lynch Dalton.
MARYSVILLE, Kan.. June 21.—
Sheriff Guthrie arrived from Texas to
night with James Dalton, alleged to
be the murderer of Sheriff Ratterson
four years ago. Dalton is confined In
the cell from which he escaped. A

Owing to the precautions taken by the
officers, there was no chance for mob
violence. A heavy guard'was placed

FROM CLEVELAND TO WILSON.
Letter Written by Former to the Lat
ter In 1894.
LEXINGTON, Va„ June 20.—At the
graduating exercises of Washington
and Lee university Hon. Isador Strauss
of New York delivered the address at
the unveiling of a monument to Hon.
William L. Wilson, late president of
the university, and, in discussing Mr.
Wilson's work in regard to the Wil
son tariff, read a letter sent by Pres
ident Cleveland to Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Strauss said the letter had
never been made public. It is as fol
lows:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C., August 13, 1894.—My Dear Mr.
Wilson: I suppose a man very much
depressed and disappointed may
write a word of sympathy to another
:n like situation. We both hoped and
wrought for better things; but now
that we know' our fate, I shall not let
a moment pass before I acknowledge
the great and unselfish work you have
done in attempting to bring about an
honest and useful result.
Much has been developed which has
shocked and surprised you and me,
and I have within the last hour found
myself questioning whether or not our
party is a tariff reform party. This,
however, Is only temporary, and such
feeling is quickly followed by my old
trust in democratic doctrines and the
party which professes them.
But I intend only to express my
sympathy with vou and for the fight
you have made for genuine tariff re
form.
I hope now that you will be mind
ful ot yourself and that you will try
and repair a strained mental and phys
ical condition by immediate care and
rest. Yours very sincerely,
GItOVER CLEVELAND.
Hon. William L. Wilson.

LINCOLN, June 19.—The above
ticket was nominated by the repub
licans of Nebraska in one of the most
numerously attended, most stubbornly
contested and most protracted state
conventions in the history of the
party. There was the most extreme
tension and at several points In the
proceedings it seemed that the chief
prize, the governorship, was about to
be snatched, now by this candidate,
now by another, until finally the
award was made as above indicated.
The first ballot for governor result
ed: Robertson, 252; Black, 202; Wil
son, 146; Mickey, 132; Sears, 111; .les
sen, 109; Dinnmore, 94; Van Dusen,
54; Savage, 2; Dean, 1.
The roll call for second place re
sulted: Rouse, 99; Holbrook, 344;
McGilton, 464; Armstrong, 32; Robert
son, 37; Steele, 95; Sears, 8; Cady, 1.
Before the second call was completed,
McGilton was nominated by acclama
non.
George W. Marsh was renominated
for secretary of state by acclamation.
The same courtesy was etxended tc
State Auditor Charles Weston.
The roll was called on state treas
urer and pending totals the secretary
read a letter from United States sen
ators from Nebraska. It touched on
national legislation.
The vote on treasurer resulted:
Saunders, 213; Motcnsen. D47. The lat
ter received four more than enough
votes to nominate.
Superintendent of Instruction W. K.
Fowler, Attorney General F. N. Prout
and Land Commissioner C. D. Foll
mer were renominated by acclamation.
This completed the ticket.
On the state issues the pldtform
says:
We faovr the most speedy revision
of the state constitution to meet the
demands of the twentieth century con
ditions, and by the submission of
needed amendments through the com
ing legislature or by the calling of a
constitutional convention.
We demand the enactment of addi
tional laws that will hold every cus
todian of public funds that may come
into his possession by virtue of his
office responsible for the repayment
not only of the principal but also of
the interest accruing thereon.
Wo commend the economy and re
trenchment inaugurated by the pres
ent state administration in the man
agement of state institutions and the
turning in to the public treasury of all
interest on public funds.
We realize, however, that the con*
dition of the state’s finances urgently
requires measures to increase state
revenues and to reduce the state debt,
which exceeds the constitutional limit.
With this object in view, a more strict
enforcement of the laws relating to
assessment and taxation is impera
tive. The franchises, as well as the
tangible property of all corporations,
should bo assesed so as to bear their
just and due share of the cost of gov
ernment, state, county and municipal,
the same as other taxable property,
as contemplated by the constitution.
This state is entitled to and should
receive a revenue fromi all non-resi
dent corporations writing life and ac
cident insurance in Nebraska (except
mutual benefit and fraternal socie
ties), and we recommend to the legis
lature the enactment of a law levying
a tax upon the gross premiums col
lected in this state by such corpora
tions.

BISHOP ADVISES NEGROES.
Colored Divine Says They Must De
pend Upon Themselves.
CHICAGO, June 17.—“The time has
come when the black man must depend
upon himself for protection. I do not
stmd for mobs, but every negro should
be prepared to protect his home, his
wife and children, even to the death.”
This advice was given at a meeting
of negroes last night by Bishop Alex
ander Walters of the colored church
of Ohio, after he had warned his hear
ers that all signs pointed a time of
groat trouble for them. Bishop Wal
ters is president of the Afro-American
council. The meeting was held in the
Olivet Baptist church and was called
for the purpose of taking action in the
persecution of the negro residents of
Eldorado and Harrisburg, 111., and the
lynching of Louis Wright in Missouri
last winter.
A resolution was adopted and tele
phoned to Governor Yates, calling on
him to take immediate steps to protect
the lives and property, of the colored
people at Eldorado and Harrisburg, 111.
GOVERNMENT IS TOTTERING.
Overthrow of President Castro of Ven
ezuela Seems Almost Certain.
NEW YORK. June 18.—A Herald
dispatch from Port of Spain, Trinidad,
says that .owing to the news of the ex
odus of a large number of President
Castro’s supporters from Venezuela,
coupled with the recent defeats suf
fered by the government, the revolu
tionists are hopeful of overthrowing
Castro in the ensuing month.
Four hundred government troops

SIXTEEN THOUSAND BOERS.
That is About Number Who Made War
Against the British.
LONDON, June 18.—A dispatch
from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria.
June 16, announces the additional sur
render of 915 Boers. This completes
the surrenders in the Transvaal.
Upon date of June 17 Lord Kitch
ener announces that 700 Boers sur
rendered at Bloomfontein yesterday,
and all the surrenders in the Trans
vaal and Orange River Colony are
now complete. In the Transvaal 11,
225 men surrendered and 10,813 rifles
were given up, while in the Orange

For a Just Assessment.
WASHINGTON, June 18.—Repre
sentative Bell of Colorado introduced
a trust bill covering the recommenda
tions of the industrial commission, of
which he was a member. His bill
provides for general publicity of cor
porations dealing with the public in
interstate business. It requires state
ments to be filed annually with the
secretary of the treasury showing full
particulars of business; requires the
secretary of the treasury to classify
all stock into such as has been paid
for in cash or its equivalent, and such
as is usually called inflated or watered
stock. All of the second class Is re
quired to be assessed by the United
States at 2 per cent per annum.
Changes Bankruptcy Law.
WASHINGTON, June 18.—The
house spent the day considering bills
reported from the judiciary committee.
By far the most important measure
was that to amend the existing bank
ruptcy law. The minority made a
vigorous effort to repeal the present
law in toto, but was overwhelmingly
defeated, 6 to 137. The bill passed
amends the law in fifteen particulars
to meet defects which, it is said, ex
perience has proven. The most impor
tant amendment is to define prefer
ence to meet the supreme court deci
sion in the case of Pirie against the
Chicago Title and Trust company.
Four additional grounds for refusing a
discharge in bankruptcy are also add
ed.

AT NEBRASKA BAR
PROMINENCE OF THE LATE MR. G.
M. LAMBERTSON.
HE HAS HANDLED MANY CASES
Attracted Attention Not Only in Ne
braska but Elsewhere—Results of
Experiments with Moth Traps—
Other Nebraska Matters.
OMAHA, June 19.—The Bee prints
the following concerning Hon. G. M.
Lambertson, who recently died sud
denly in Chicago:
Genio Madison Lambertson has long
been one of the most prominent fig
ures at the Nebraska bar, having
been associated with litigation that
attracted attention not only in Ne
braska, but all over the United States.
One of the great cases in which he
participated was that which involved
the citizenship of Hon. James E. Boyd
and his right to sit as governor of
Nebraska. In this case he was asso
cited with General John C. Cowin and
others as counsel for Governor Boyd,
and won a most decisive victory be
fore the supreme court of the United
States. As attorney for the interstate
commerce commission he argued the
Counselman case before the United
States supreme court. As United
States district attorney for Nebraska
from 1878 to 1886 he handled many
cases of importance. Later he was
one of the attorneys for the receivers
of the Union Pacific road in connec
tion with the foreclosure and settle
ment of the government liens. Mr.
Ijambertson procured a writ of habeas
corpus from the United States su
preme court for the liberation of the
Lincoln city councilmen from the jail
at Omaha, wherein they were held by
order of Judge Brewer for alleged con
tempt. Mr. Lambertson appeared at
another time for the city before the
interstate commerce commission in its
suit to require the Union Pacific rail
road to deliver shipments from San
Francisco at Lincoln as cheaply as at
Omaha. The commission sustained the
position taken by Mr. Lambertson
and the Lincoln merchants were given
the desired relief. He participated in
numerous legal contests of national
importance, and last year figured
prominently as the leading attorney
in a suit brought by the fruit grow
ers of California against the trans
portation companies. Under the ad
ministration of President Harrison he
was assistant secretary of the treas
ury. In 1899 he was a candidate for
United States senator from Nebraska,
and was supported by a goodly follow
ing in the legislature.
Experience With Moth Traps.
The experiment with moth traps
made by Prof. Lawrence Bruner of the
Nebraska University indicates that
these devices may become very useful
to farmers, gardeners and orchardists.
In August of last year Prof. Bruner
operated two moth traps between the
7th and 27th, using them on fifteen
nights, with the result that the traps
destroyed over 6,000 insects, or an
average of 200 per night for each trap,
which were classified as follows:
Nineteen per cent were of no effect on
crops, being neither injurious nor ben
eficial, 79 per cent were directly in
jurious to different crops and only 2
per cent were classed as beneficial in
sects. The weather conditions were
unfavorable to large catches. In gen
eral more insects are taken earlier in
the season. This year several records
are made of more than a thousand
insects for one trap in one night*.
Killed by Lightning Stroke.
LEXINGTON, Neb., June 19.—One
of the saddest funerals that has been
in Dawson county was that of William
Staley, who was instantly killed by a
stroke of lightning. The services were
conducted by Rev. E. A. Knight, at
the house of the deceased, as the
wife was unable to attend at the
chureh. Mr. Staley and the horse he
was riding were killed so quickly that
the man who was riding in front a
few rods, on turning around could not
see them, as they had immediately
falen and were hidden by the rye
field.
Women Assessed for Poll Tax.
TABLE ROCK, Neb., June 19.-The
assessor of this precinct has inaug
ated an innovation, having assessed
twenty-five or thirty women here, with
a poll tax. It is thought it occurred
in this way. When assessing in those
instances where the woman owned
the property, and the husband was
tinder fifty, to save making out a sep
arate schedule, he assessed the women.
Girl Taken to Asylum.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., June 19.—
Sheriff Hossack came up from Falls
City and took charge of Miss Mary
Stritsky, who was adjudged insane by
the examining board, and in company
with an attendant removed her to
Lincoln, where she was placed in the
asylum. Miss Stritsky has long been
subjects to fits of melancholy, and
often wandered away without knowl
edge of her whereabouts being
known.
THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
CATTLE—1The receipts were not exces
sive and included' several loads of stock
cattle going through the western ranges.
The visible supply at the leading market
centers was also rather moderate. Beef
steers made up a fair part of the small
run and the number offered was hardly
sufficient to supply local orders. Any
thing in the way of recent beef stock
sold freely at good, strong figures. The
receipts of cows and heifers were just
about equal to the demand and as to
quality were much the samd as during
the past several days. Fed stock is
scarce and in strong demand, w-’hile, on
the other hand, the ordinary run of
range and grass butchers’ stuff showed
no special change. Bulls, stags and veal
calves sold In much the same notches as
yesterday and are quotablv unchanged.
Toppy stock cattle found ready sale at
firm figures, with but a limited run to
work on. A string of 908-pound Nebraska
grade steers brought $1.90 and other good
stuff sold equally well, but there is very
little inquiry for inferior stockers and
feeders.
HOGS—The market took an upturn for
the better, with a decreased number on
sale. Conditions were favorable to sell
ers and prices as a rule were a e-ood 5c
higher than yesterday. Tops were same
as yesterday, but were not nearly so
tgood. The movement was brisk and an
early clearance w*as effected. Heavies
sold largely from $7.35 to $7.45, with tops
at $7.50. Medium and mixed sold mostly
around $7.25..7.40 and lighter grades on
down. Today’s prices put the market
back to about the same basis it was on
last Saturday.
SHEEP—Included In the fresh arrivals
of eight loads were five cars of Wyoming
feders that sold for $2.85. a strong price
for stock sheep. The demand from pack
ers continues limited and a dull, weak
trade was apparent today. Quotations on
mutton sheep are 75c to $1.00 lower than
two weeks ago.

Convicted of One Crime and Makes
Confession of Another.
BRANDON, Manitoba, June 21.—
Walter Gordon, who was convicted at y
the spring assizes here for the murder
of Charles Daw, a young Englishman,
and who also confessed to the mur
der of Jacob Smith, Daw's hired man,
was hanged here today.
The prisoner manifested the great
est sang froid to the end. Gordon
had arranged to purchase Daw’s farm,
but when the time came for complet

He took possession of the farm and
held it for some time, but, fearing
detection, fled to Dakota, where he en
listed in the United States army. Af
terward he deserted, and, going to
Halifax, enlisted in the Canadian
mounted rifles for South Africa. He
was arrested just as he was embark
