Weaver is to niovo to Council Bluffs. Ox three ships lately going from New York to Europe there were 211C Scan dinavians. The property loss at Pueblo, Colo., by the rise in the Arkansas, is reckoned at S300.000. Two lives are known to be IobL DEMocitArv is beginning to talk of another issue of government bonds to supply gold. More nails m your coffin, surely. Pitt in jail at Washington for tread ing on tho grass, and put in nomination in a district in Ohio for representative iu congrebs, as has been the case with Coxey, does not fall to the lot of main men. This country will not always or for long play into the hands of English capitalists, by issuing our interest learing bonds when there is no need for it. Give ns our own good silver and a protective tariff with reciprocity attach ment, and wo can hold our own against English policy the world over. Geokoe T. Anoeli., presidont or the American Humane Society, is out in an article advocating a ship canal from Chicago to tho Mississippi river, another from opposite Chicago to Detroit; the enlarging of tho Erie to a ship canal from Buffalo to Albany; another across upper Florida from tho Gulf of Mesico 'to'SCSJohn's river, and thinks on these 400,000 men could bo profitably m- Vplqyed. lie thinks also a very consider able body of men might be profitably employed in Washington itself, securing better sewerage, filling tho Potomac flats, building bridges, etc. Ilesuggests that the construction of any more Sl. 000,000 war ships and SGO.000 cannons (every discharge of which costs from $00 "to S400), be postponed a year or two. lie says if war should break out, we could readily eouip and support f00,000 in the field as easily as we did thirty years ago, and why not now sup port a number of men in peace with em ployment for a feu months, until the hard times pass by? When Tramp are ItanNlipil. the be Helped. Poor can Tho way to get rid or tramps, which has long been known and has many times leen proved, is to make their food and shelter depend absolutely upon work. Last winter, the city of Balti more rid itself of all these pests by re fusing to give them a place to sleep ex cept, on condition of their earning it. Tho result was that when other cities were overrun with tramps, Baltimore was free of them, and thus relieved, the city turned its attention to finding, work for the deserving unemployed. This work camo so near to paying for itself that only an insignificant sum of money was required to prevent actual suffer ing. This interesting sociological result has, therefore, again demonstrated, that it is the tramp -the idler who does not want work that causes tho demoraliza tion in a time of distress, and prevents the involuntary idle from finding proper aid. A very interesting and complete explanation of this experiment appears in tho Juno number of the Forum, bv Dr. E. K. L. Gould, of the John Hop kins University, who had the direction of this important work. With military snobs during the war there was a feeling of ill-will against citizen soldiers who were promoted on account of bravery. It is said that the killing of Capt. Iledberg by Lieut. Maney at Fort Sheridan, appears to have been caused by this old feeling. Hedberg having never attended the military school at West Point, while Manoy was a graduate, -an unprovoked murder, seemingly to dispose of Hed berg because ho had earned his position by bravery and not by reason of West Point intluence. Our military school, like most human institutions", has not been an unmixed good by any means, but there was just enoughof that top lofty superciliousness shown by many of West Point's smart Alecs during "the war to plow into the memory of the citi .zen soldiers who wero fighting for their country and not for "glory." that our system of military training needs a thorough overhauling to the end that the principles of our government be better recognized, and that the sons of the republic who attend that school shall be protected in all their just rights against cowardly bullies or any other class of students who chance to find their way there. A pamphlet cop of the speech of Senator Cameron of Pennsylvania in the United States senate April IS, has just reached our table. It strikes here a long-felt want, and wo are glad to see that his views are being spread broad cast. His theme is: 'Tariff and silver are two sides of the same question." "They are bound together by necessity. The ono without the other must break down. Both together are invincible. The people of the Union, north, south, east and west, can all understand and unite on a national policy that unites these two great forces. Tke feel their interests more truly than all" tho news papers and lecturers in the world can teach. They will not be afraid to cut wholly loose from Europe. They will be glad and proud to restore silver; to place the United States at the head of the silver-using countries of tho world. Such a policy would satisfy their true instincts. With all Americaat their side and all Asia at their back, they could then isolate Europe and force England to fellow or to fail. To such a policy xariffs could offer no obstacle. The barrier of gold would be more fatal than -any barrier of a custom-house. The bond of silver would be stronger than any bond of free trade. Whatever party first comes to this political platform will win a victory; and it is easier for the republicans to take this ground than for their opponents, who have destroved silver and are pledged to hostility against an American policy, whether in industry or trade. Standing on these as supports, the United States may hope to extend their influence over tho'world, but so long as they narrow their ambi tion to becoming a larger England or a more German Germany, they can be- - come nothing worth their trouble and can win no markets worth having not ' even their own." The Joubxal wishes that every voter in the land could read - anJ-stndy this speech of the able sena- tor, for it contains truths that are vital . to the best interests of America. BEACH AN AGREEMENT. Governor Waite Settles the Cripple Creek Strike. HE HAS ISSUED A PBOGLAMATION. Entire State Militia Called Upon to Go to Cripple Creek to Aid the Sheriff Miners to Be Paid Three Dollars for Eight Hours' Work Dynamite Placed on a Railroad Track to Kill Militia. Denver, June 5. The strike at Crip ple Creek has been settled. Late Mon day night the conference between Gov ernor Waite, J. J. Hagennan and David H. Moffat arrived at an agreement, which is satisfactory to all parlies. The conference began at 8 o'clocK at the request of Governor Waite. As soon as the triumvirate assembled, Gov ernor Waite announced that he was authorized to act for the miners and consideration of the various points was immediately begun. But one point caused serious complication and that was the time allowed for luncheon. The miners demanded 30 minutes, they to be allowed pay for the time. The articles of agreement provide that the miners shall work eight hours a day, with 20 minutes for luncheon; that they be paid at the rate of S3 a day, and that the mine owners in employing men shall not discriminate against either union or nonunion miners. At the conclusion of the conference, Governor Waite issued a proclamation calling upon all the people in El Paso county who were forcibly holding the property of others and who were bearing arms in violation of the law to deliver tip such property and to lay down their arms. The entire state militia is called upon to go to Cripple Creek, El Pato county, and aid the sheriff iu restoring order. MINERS READY TO DEAL OUT DEATH.

The miners have loaded beer kegs with dynamite, 6crap irou and railroad spikes, and have placed them on the crests of Globe Hill and Battle Mountain. Tho defensive movements of the strikeis have been de cided upon and are about as follows: Mounted bcouts, who are spread out in all directions, upon discovering the ad vance of the deputies will hasten to camp with the information. A prear ranged fcignal will be tounded on the steam whistle at Pike's Peak mine, when the striker will take their desig nated position?. The skirmishers will fall back slowly, keeping the deputies engaged, until they reach the barricades erected at the foot of Bull Hill. Behind the barricades the strikers will make a stand, defending themselves with guns and bombs. If driven from the barricades they will hasten up the slope to the fort. Should the deputies follow them the dynamite mines which have been planted at every few yards will he exploded. Cannons and bombs will simultaneously deal out death from the fort. DYNAMITE PLACED ON THE TRACK. Miners Attempt to Wreck a Truln Carry ing Several Companies of Militia. Terrc Haute. Ind., Juno 5. Four pounds of dynamite was placed on the track of the Evansville and Terre Haute railroad Monday evening by striking miners. The terrible explosive was placed on the track in front of the train bearing several companies of militia under General McKee. This was at a point a few miles south of Farmersburg, between here and Shellburn. Orders had been given the militia to escort a train load of coal past the several min ing camps. The coal train went ahead, followed 13' the train with the militia. After proceeding about a mile the coal train came to a stop, having been 6topped by an obstruction on the track. In ambush in the heavy thickets on each side of the track were 200 miners. It was their purpose to capture the coal train. The disembarkment of the troop was immediately lx?gun, and General McKee ordered tho troops to try to sur round the miuers, but tho maneuver failed, as the miners scattered. The wreckage on the track was removed and the coal train was sent on. Four dj-na-mite bombs were found near Shellburn and forced off the track by the trains without exploding. A coal train was captured by the miners and run to Alum Cave, where the strikers have a strong hold. The militia will attempt to recap ture the train. Ilrldcc Burned by Strikers. Cleveland, June 5.

Unless the traffic is resumed on the road within two or three days hundreds of establishments must close down. The Lake Shore and Nickel Plate roads have also been supplied from the same source and many trains on these roads will be abandoned unless coal can be obtained promptly.

Senator Vest Made an Explanation Allison Delivered nn Elaborate Speech Carlisle Not Contemplating a Bond Issue Xc Gulre on the Central Pacific Funding BUI Morgan Offers an Amendment. Washington, June 5. The arid land question, about which the western mem bers had so much to say when the agri cultural bill was before the house, was considered Monday by the committee on irrigation. A subcommittee Sweet (Ida.), Hart (Mont.), Doolittle (Wash.), Pence (Colo.) and Newlands (Nev.) was. instructed to draw up a general bill along the lines of one forsurvey of Idaho lands introduced by Representative Sweet. It will provide for a survey un der the general direction of the secretary of war of the arid lands in western states, with the preparation of maps showing the diti'.i s or canals and reser voirs necessary for tho reclamation of the land and report upon the water available for irrigation, with estimates of the quantity of land possible of re clamation and of the cost. The states of Montana, Washington, Oregon,- Idaho, the Dakota? and perhaps others will be included in the bill, with a recommenda tion for an appropriation of each state. $$5,000 for DISCUSS THE SUGAR SCHEDULE. Speeclies Made Senators Vest and Allison From DiflVrent Points of View. Washington, June 5. Thirteen sena tors, six Democrats and seven Republi cans, were in the senate room Monday when the senato entered upon tho tariff bill. Senator Hoar suggested the ab sence of a quorum and "0 minutes were spent wanting the presence of 47 senators necessary to proceed. A resolution pro viding for tho payment of the expenses of the bribery and other investigating committees out of th contingent fund vas adopted. The tariff bill was taken up, the sugar schedule pending. Senator Vest took the iloor and made a brief ex planation concerning the controverted point in latt Saturday's debate as to the existence of tho sugar trust in 1S90. Senators Aldrich and Sherman had contended that the present trut was not in existence and that its stock was not listed on the New York stock board. Senator Vest produced tome authorities to show that t,i2C,00i) shares of the stock of the sugar re "img company were sold on the market in New York in ISIiO, which at $100 per share represented $SOO,000,00. He had as much right to insinuate that the sugar trust dictated the sugar schednlo in the McKinley bill as senators on the other side had to im pugn the action of the inajorit' in the present congress. Allison (Ia.) followed Vest with an elaborate sjieech on the sugar schedule. It was, h said, by far the most impor tant provision of the bill. It afforded one-third of the revenue produced by the bill. He declared, according to numer ous authorities, sugar could be refined cheaper here than in Germany and some other European countries. Tho schedule practically would prohibit the importa tion of refined sugars. It was not a schedule for protection, but prohibition. Jones (Ark.) followed with a detailed explanation of the sugar schedule. He denied that the McKinley bill had given the people one ounce of free sugar. By imposing a duty of six-tenths of a cent on refined sugar, it had taxed the people $-2,000,000, all of which went into the pockets of the refiners. Besides $1.000,000 bad to be paid out of the treasury in the form of sugar bounties, so the total sugar tax on the people of the United States amounted to &J8,000,00(i, of which not one dollar had gone into the xeueral treasury. The duty which it was pro posed to impose by this bill, he said, would cost the people about $5j.00(,00i, of which 50,000,000 would go iuto the treasury, $0,000,000 to the planters in the form of protection and $G,000,000 to the refiners, who would get but one-fourth of what they got under the present law. Hoar did not believe his constituents would understand the complicated mathematics of the sugar schedule, but he said they would understand that the party which promised them free raw material, free coal, iron ore, lead ore, free sugar, etc., had betrayed New En gland by striking down their industries in order to build up those of the south. Piatt (Conn.), who followed Aldrich, de nounced in bitter and caustic words the surrender of th Democratic majority to the suirar trust. Not Contemplating a Bond l4ue. Washington, June 5. It can be stated on the highest authority that the pub lished statements that another bond issue is in contemplation are absolutely with out foundation.

In the district court at Anamosa will be tried one of the most interesting cases which have ever engaged the attention of the court of Jones county. It is the case of the state against Emmet Seymour for the murder of George Fifield, his father- in-law. Shortly after the marriage of Seymour to Fifield's daughter the old gentleman was found one evening lying on the railroad tracks, near his home, in an unconscious condition. He had been struck in the head by some blunt instru ment, and died without regaining con sciousness. A few months later Seymour was dis covered in the act of stealing lumber after night. Upon further investigation it was found he had been the chief actor in a long series of petty thefts, which had long perplexed Anamosa business men. The discovery of these crimes, and the fact that the stolen property was con cealed about Seymour's house, caused people to think that the man had been the cause of Fifield's death, the suppo sition being that Fifield had discovered Seymour's crime and threatened expo sure. Seymour was tried for various theft3 and sent to the penitentiary for three years. That sentence having been stayed, he is now to be tried for murder. Van Leaven and Kesael Indicted. Dubuque, June S.

A small, yellow worm, about an inch long, and resembling the black thousand-legged worm that is usually found in decayed timber, has made its appearance in the cornfields in this section and is creating havoc with tho coming crop.

In making the assignment nothing was reserved except the homestead of Mr. Steele, both the Walkers conveying their residence property to secure the liabilities. This firm was composed of D. M. Steele, S. A. Walker and I. W. Walker, and has been regarded as one of the strongest in the west, D. M. Steele having bsen rated at from $750,000 tg l.000.0fi(k TO TRY WATERS JTILL RISING. Present Loss Estimated at Four Million Dollars. 10,000 CATTLE HAVE PEBISHED. Tancoarer Abont Shot Off From the Rest of the World Canadian FacMc Ha Stopped Selling Tickets at That Point. Mack Distress Prevails at Portland. Temperature Has Fallen Tea Degrees. Vancouver, B. C, June 5. Four million dollars will hardly cover the pres ent loss by the Frazer river flood and there is not yet any signs of abatement. The waters are still rising and, as the warm weather continues melting the mow in the Rockies, there is no imme diate prospect of beginning the work of restoration. One prominent railway of ficial thinks the loss of life will reach 1(H), though conservative estimates are not so high. Bridges, trestles, tunnels and tracking along the Canadian Pacific have gone and the company has over 2,000 men at the scenes of danger, working night and day. From Pre elstock to the sea, 0 miles, along the railway, is now a watery waste. The last point above Vancouver which can be reached is Ruby Creek, b'J miles. Masqni, Mission, Chil liwack, Patsie and Langley prairies and the towns of Harrison, Centerville, Lang ley, Chilli wack and Mission are all under water, not a farm building being left standing. Fully 10,000 'cattle have per ished. Vancouver is about shut off from the rest of the world except by steamer. All telegraph wires are down east and the Canadian Pacific railroad has stopped selling tickets, all trains being cancelled. At Westminister the water is over the floors of buildings and wharves. All the mills along the water front have been shut down for the last week. Many houses and cabin3 in the lower portion of the town are now floating. A report reached hero that the dyke at Lulu island had given away, but it has not been confirmed. If that be true the best agricultural district in the whole Frazer valley will be flooded. Reports from upper rivers state that the water is still rising rapidly. At Yale the water is one foot, eight inches above the 1832 mark and still ris ing. At North Bend a Chiuainun was drowned. It is stated that if the watot subsides rapidly there is a possibility ol saving the timothy crop, while barley and oats can also be sown. Much Distress Prerails at Portland. Portland, Or., June 5. The rivei reached the .12 feet mark Monday even ing, and is still rising. Hundreds ol persons whose places of business are submerged have moved out and estab lished new temporary places. In the lower portions of the city, where a great many poor persons live, the condition is most deplorable. Great numbers have been driven out by the invading watera, and have taken tomporary refuge where over shelter can be found. Much dis tress prevails, and the temperature has fallen 10 degrees at Baker City, from which it is surmhed that the tempera ture has fallen over the country drained by the Columbia and its tributaries, in which case there is a possibility of a ces sation of the rise.
