CRIPPLE CREEK , Cole , May 23.
Eleven m n killed , with a strong probabl'lty
that the number of dead will be Increased
when all Is known , Is tbe record of the first
day of trouble here , although real fighting
has not yet begun , as the deputies arc
aunlntlng reinforcements before beginning
active operations. At 10 o'clock this mornIng -
Ing eleven men started to work In the
Strong mines on Battle mountain. Shortly
aft rwards a large party of strikers blew up
the shaft house with powder , causing a loss
of S23.0GO. and then 100 pounds of glai.t
powder dropped down tbe shaft was also
exploded , killing all the inmates.
Not more than 400 jards from the Strong
shaft house sixteen men , who had been en
gaged to do the work in the Independence
mine , were surrounded in their bunkhouse ,
and , after a long parley , agreed to surrender.
Each one was armed with a rifle and a brace
of revolvers , the arms now being in tbe
hands of tbe strikers.
It Is rumored that the strikers attacked
the Anna Lee mine , overpowering the guards ,
otter which they blew up the shaft house ,
but the rumor has not been verified When
the deputies are finally massed and the two
forces come together a most desperate battle
will doubtless be fought. The situation at C
o'clock tonight Is one of rest painful anxletj
Not a few believe the town will be a
smoldering mass of ruins by another sunset
If the strikers be not restrained.
At Victor , six miles away , where fully
1,000 people reside , a reign of terror exists ,
With n a. half mile of the corporation limits
of the town all day long fully 300 union
miners , armed with rifles , have paraded up
and down the side of the hill. Occasionally
a detour into the village would be made , and
people whom the miners thought to be ob-
jcctlcnable were ordered to leave the place.
The guards from Denver , upon arrival at
Victor , went into camp on a neighbor-
i. Ing hill. Thi strikers Uirew out a
J T picket line entirely surrounded them , but at
' * a distance that guarantees them safety
from the deputies' rifles. It Is said the
strikers have planted , under their breast
works on Bill Hill , a quantity of djnamlte ,
with the Intention of blowing It up should
It be taken and occupied by the deputies.
One of the largest mine owners In Col
orado Springs is authority for the statement
that the mine owners have planted a rifled
cannon on a hill commanding the breast
works , and that It will be used to dislodge
hie strikers from that position.
Thomas H. Jones , one of the two men
beaten by the miners yesterday , died of his
Injuries today. Under Sheriff Brisbane Is
ccmins from Colorado Springs and will depu
tize all the available men ts a force to fight
the strikers.
Eighteen or twenty deputies , who were
scattered about In tbe cabins below the Inde
pendence mine at Wilson Creek , surrendered
to the striking miners this afternoon. They
were told that if they would quietly hand
over their rifles and side arms they would
not receive personal Injury , and after a con
ference the deputies gave In. They are now
oelng marched to this city under a strong
gunrd via the town of Altman. Whelher
they will or not reach this city in safety Is
an open question.
The guards that came up from Denver
are now somewhere In the llllls cast of the
Independence mine , while hundreds of
miners armed with Winchesters are patrol
ling the roads about the Victor to the west ,
eouth and north.
At the summit of Bull Hill , but ) 600 feet
away from the Victor propertj- , the miners
have a barricade of logs and broken rock
which Is supplied with loopholes and ladders.
Considerable ammunition is stored there
and also a quantity ot provisions , but there
Is no water. WI ole kegs of bla tlng
powder have been stored In tbe barricade
end there Is no tel'Ing to what d sperata
extreme the men may go.
All soils of rumors concerning tbe doings
nt the Stnmg mine are afloat. One of them
is to the effect that the workmen were not
killed , having been warned off by masked
strikers. All telephone cjimectlsn has been
broken , and It Is feared the telegraph wires
will go next. The deputies from Denver
liave withdrawn to a less exposed position ,
where they will await reinforcements. The
strikers from their stronghold on Bull II II
can view the country for mile ? , and all
pas cs are guarded by them. Every
elrunger Is Intercepted and not allowed
to proceed towards the town unless a satlt-
laclory explanation ot his business Is given
Mo one Is permitted near enough the sent
of war to bo In danger , and the streets of
Cripple Creek and Victor , as well as the
passes , are patrolled by miners carrj Ing Win
chesters and revolvers. Tbe capture and dis
arming of deputies numbering eighteen was
accomplished by the women , and ever tlnce
the occurrence the women have been holding
high court In a saloon , where the strikers
lieap congratulations upon them. Two wagons ,
loaded with powder nnd cartridges for one of
the. mines , were captured by the strikers and
their contents confiscated.
Sam McDonald , superintendent of the
Strong , Anna Lee and Gold King mines , and
Charley Routnbon , foreman ot the Strong ,
are missing , which gives credence to the
story ot slaughter. If the men were In cer
tain portions of the mine the coucutslon
may not have killed them. Sara Strong
owner of the mlue. Is given as authority
for the Mattment that eleven men were
killed. H Is raining furiously and any fur
ther move tonight Is not looked for , Depu-
tie * have been coming In quietly all daj
and U Is thought en unexpected move It
anticipated.

ALWAYS LIVED BY THE BIBLE
Prof. Smith's Plea Before the Presbyterian
General Assembly ,
INERRENCY OF SCRIPTURE DISCUSSED
Ordinance * of Iarlycrlpturo Were Abro
gated by 1-atcr ' crlptures AfltB Iteln-
slatcmtnt to the MlnUtr ; I'ntll the
Original Scriptures lie 1'ouiul
SARATOGA , N. Y. , May _ 5. The first
hour In the Presbyterian general assembly
was set apart for the reception of delegates
from the Baptist anniversaries now In ses
sion In this place The delegates were Dr.
A. II. Strong , president of Rochester Theo
logical seminary ; Dr. Q. W. Northrup , dean
of the Divinity school of the University of
Chicago ; Dr. Ah ah Hovey of Newton Theo
logical Institution ; Hon. C. W. KIngsley of
Massachusetts , and Dr. H. L. Morehouse
Fkid , secretary ol the American Baptist
Home Missionary society. The assembly
vas addressed by Dm. Strong and Northrup ,
and responses were made by the moderator.
Then the assembly was constituted for the
hearing of the Smith case and addressed
by Elder Daniel H. Shields , a member of
the Cincinnati prosecuting committee , who
was Introduced as a plain man and a farmer.
It was announced that about three-quarters
of an hour remained for the appellee.
Mr. Shields' argument traversed the
twelve grounds of appeal put forward by
I'rof. Smith and was read from manuscript.
In the course of his remarks. Elder Shields
said that the committee did not for a mo
ment doubt the outcome of the matter in
the present assembly. He then proceeded
to read a few extracts from Prof Smith's
writings.
At the close of Mr. Shields' -speech the
issembly applauded , but the hand-clapping
was suddenly stopped by the moderator's
g.ivcl and vigorous hissing.
The prosecuting committee rested at a
few minutes before 11 o'clock , though they
still had six minutes to spare out of their
four hours. After the assembly had "shaken
lt elt" at the moderator's suggestion. Prof.
Smith began his argument In reply. He
regretted that the committee had sought to
Impress the assembly with the belief that
he did not value the bible highly. On the
contrary he had always endeavored to live
by the book.
Prof. Smith then proceeded to discuss
briefly the objections which he had made ,
but which he had not thought fit to dis
cuss until they had been taken up by the
prosecuting attorney. They related to the
sittings of members of the lower court who
had printed expressions concerning the guilt
of the accused In the newspapers , the re
fusal to receive a whole book in testimony
when a part had been Introduced by the
prosecution and the reception of a vote
in a member's absence.
It was admitted that the address on which
the original charges were based contained
statements which are not in accord with the
doctrine as stated by the prosecution. He
went on to say , however , that he has not
denied anything about the original autograph
sent , because he has no evidence upon the
subject. The bible as we have It Is evi
denced tp us by the testimony of the Holy
Spirit , But In Us present shape It contains
admitted errors which , however , do not dis
credit the book as given by inspiration of
God.
God.The
The matter of Inerrancy of scripture -was
next discussed , and the opposite inference
drawn from the fact that the ordinances of
early scripture were objofjated by late scrip
ture's. Such Inerrancy was declared to be
new doctrine and quite unknown to the
reformers. It was added that If the as
sembly will restore the accused to the min
istry till the original scripture be discov
ered he will spend the rest of his days with
out fear.
When Prof. Smith closed his argument
and the program announced > esterday as
agreed upon by the sjnod of Ohio was begun ,
Dr. Townsend of Cleveland opened with
seven minutes to his credit. Dr. Townsend's
argument consisted In a presentation of
the fundamental question whether inerrancy
Is unequivocally taught in the bible and con
fession of faitl' . Dr. George H. Colb of Belle-
fontalne followed. He expressed the hope
that the assembly may have grace enough
given them to enable them to restore the
appellant to his ministry. His argument was
based upon the contention that neither the
bible nor the confession of faith contains a
definite theory of inspiration , and upon the
arsertion that the accused holds strongly to
the doctrine of scriptures as formulated In
the doctrinal standard of the church.

ST. THOMAS , May 25. The Queen's Own
Rifles of Toronto came to this city
jestcrday to join In the celebration of the
queen's birthday. George J. Wilds , United
Stats consul , dUplajed from the' window
of his office an extra American flag In honor
of the day. Some of the members from
Toronto became angered at the American
consul's act and tore the flag from Us staff
The parties guilty of the desecration of
the American flag were under the Influence
of liquor Some of the members of the
regiments who were In the crowd and were
sober protected against the outrage , but
were unable to prevent their excited com
panions from carrying out their Intention.
Lieutenant Smith , D. G. A , apologized to
United States Consul Willis for the act ,
but Mr. Willis would not accept the apology
and notified the heads ot his department at
Washington and Ottawa. The Incident IK
looked upon here as merely the result of
too much whisky , and while it is generally
deplored by the citizens it is hoped noth
ing serious will result.
WASHINGTON , May 25 United States
Consul Willis at St. Thomas , a Canadian
town on the north side of Lake Erie , todaj
reported to the Slate department by telegraph
through United States Consul General Rile }
that the United States flag fljing over his
consulate was hauled down by Canadian
authorities jestcrdaj He asUcd for instruc
tions. The consul added the matter had been
brought to the attention of the Dominion
government and It had ordered an Investiga
tion to locate the responsibility of the gulltj
person.
TESTIMONY OF AN EYE-WITNESS.
TORONTO , Ont. , May 23 Several officers
of the Queen's Own regiment were seen to
night In reference to the outrage upon the
American Csg at St. Thomas They denied
all knowledge of the affair. A private of
the regiment , who was not so reticent , and
who was an eje witness to the affair , said-
"Yes , it is true , the American flag was
pulled down. About supper abcut forty of
the regiment marched up the street , when
one espied the flag floating out In fiont
of a drug store. Several went In and remon
strated with the proprietor for showing the
American flag on the queen's birthday He
refused to comply , and Immediately some of
them made a daMi for U end tors it down
leaving It l > Ing on the street. They. I am
sure , "had no Idea that it was the American
consul's office , though. "
The Incident lias caused quite a sensa
tion In military and other circles In the
city , and the action of Its halrbrclned per
petrators Is strongly condemned.
SPRINGFIELD , 111. , May 23. Governor
Altgeld late this evening issued the following
order :
"It is not the business of soldiers tl act ac
custodians or niardlans of private property.
The law authorizes them simply to assist thu
civil * authorities In quelling rioi < j"nndpre
serving peace. Where troops have been or
may hereafter be ordered out and an owner
of property feels it necessary to have it
guarded , he may do so at bis expenses , and
in such a case the troops can only be used
for promptly quelling a disturbance of tht
peace or quelling a riot or In some other
way enforcing the law. "

LONDON , May 23. Edmund W. Gosse
writes to the Times announcing a proposed
English memorial of the pcct Keats. He
sajs that an American committee has been
engaged duilng the pasf five jears prepar
ing It , and that tbe details have been kept
an absolute secret , even In the United
States. The movement was due to the en
ergy of F. Holland Day , Norwood , Mass. ,
who Is a Keats enthusiast. Mr. Day con
sulted with James Russell Lowell and other
men of letters anJ artists In the United
States and received the warmest encourage
ment. Had he lived , Mr. Lowell would have
undoubtedly been the head of the
movement , which has since been urged
forward by Prof. Cha-les F.lllot Norton ,
T. B. Aldrlch , T. G. Wilder , the
late Dr Parsons and most of those prom
inent In American political and literary
circles. Private invitations for subscrip
tions toward the work ot art were cent in
1891 to writers , artists and amateurs In the
United States , and about 100 of them re
sponded. The work Is novr accomplished.
Mr. Day has arrived in England with a
marble bust of Keats , which will shortly be
unveiled In the parish church ut Hamp-
stead. It merely awaits the execution of
the accepted design for a bracket on which
the advice of E Onslow Ford , tcJlptor , was
obtained. The formal announcement of the
date for the unveiling ce-emonlrs will
shortly be made Dr. Goss" concluded by
expressing regret that Engllihrnen wait for
their transatlantic kinsfolk to erect monuments
ments to Englishmen of genius. He sajs It
is fortunate that America Is. srnsitlve about
thest national glories , to which we seem
perfectly Indifferent.

TOPEICA , May 25 At a "Homo Guard"
meeting in the Populist league rooms here
G. C. Clemens said"I do not htsitate to
kay that one of the objects I had In view
when I advocated the raising of Home
Guards was to have a force available so that
In case the troops or the natknal guard are
called out to stop Commonwealcrs anywhere
west of the Mississippi river we can stop the
troops or national guard. "
Ex-Adjutan' General Artz spoke of the pos
sibility of a collision between the citlrens
and Common wealers of Leavcnworth , and
thought the governor should call out the
militia.
"If the governor neglects to do this. " he
wild , "I believe the brave sons of Kansas
have manhood enough in them to rise in
their might and say to that little patch up
there that laboring men will go through
their country when they please , and If they
try to stop them we will wipe jour city out
of existent1" "
Clemens then Introduced the following resolution
elution , which was adopted :
Risolved , That Captain Hunter be and is
hereby instructed to tender the government
the services of the home guards to maintain
law and order ot .Leavenworth , as against

ONE WOUND PRONOUNCED FATAL
Tell from the Train and \Viii. found by thr
Searching Part ) r o .Mlle l.n l of
Council lllulT Tivct Tramps
Under Arreftt.
Between 9 and 10 o'clock lait night Brakeman -
man Stukesbury of freight train No. 7C , on
the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy road ,
which left Counc 1 Bluffs for the east about
9 o'clock , was shot and mortally wounded
by tramps whom he had ordered off the
train.
Between HInton , vvh.ch Is the first sta
tion cast of the Bluffs , and Island Park , the
trainmen found that Stukezbury was ml sIng -
Ing , and mjipored that by an accident ho
had fallen from the train. Sidetracking on
reaching Island Park they telegraphed the
circumstances to Council Bluffs , where a
searching party was made up and started
out on an engine. Men also tinned west
ward from Island Park.
When the Bluffs party had proceeded cast-
ward two miles they found Stukesbury lying
by tbe side of the track bleeding prt-fusclj- ,
with a large bullet wound In li' ' thro.it anil
a bullet hole through his left ear. Thpugh
very weak from loss of blood he wcs able
to talk.
He said that when the train reached the
spot where he was Ijing he found five tramps
concealed in nome farm machinery on a
fiatcar near the middle of the tra'n. Ho
told them they would Lave to get off. Ho
scys that he was standing on the edge of
the car. not more than five feet from them.
Without antwerlns him two shots were
fired at him , whether by the same man or
by different parties be could not say. Ho
reeltd and fell from the train , and though
remaining conscious was unable to rise 19
hU feet , though he was able to assume a
sitting posture
He noticed that soon after he fell a num
ber of men Jumped from the car. When ho
,
told the men this they searched the vicin
ity hastllj- , being anxious to get StuUesbury
back to the Bluffs to receive medical atten
tion , and found two tramps not far away.
They were placed In custody , and gave
the names of Moore and Ljnch ,
but said thej' had not been
on the train and knew nothing of the shoot
ing. The parly then returned to the Bluffs.
The tramps were placed In Jull and Stukes
bury sent to the Woman's Christian * asso
ciation hospital. The doctors say that In
all probability the wound In tbe tl'roat U
falal The windpipe was not cut. but tht
surrounding tissue Is mangled , and the ball.

UNIONTOWN , Pa. , May 23. The Wash-
ton Run plants , where thp bloody battle oc
curred jcftcrday. Is as quiet today as It
nothing had happened. The strikers have
not been near tince the trouble , nor have
they had a meeting. The tramps of the
deputies about the jard is the only sign of
tbe plant being shut down tight. The work
men did not return to work and it is said
that they have transferred their sjmpathy
to the side of the strikers cs a result of
jesterday's shooting. The night was ono
of terror at the plant , a report having been
circulated that 3,000 men from the river dis
trict were murchlng on Stickle Hollow to
avenge the death of their comrades. Armed
scouts and pickets were on duty all night
to warm the deputies of their first approach
that they might be read } to receive them.
This march , If It hij been planned , was
abandoned when President Culms of the
Plttsburg district arrived on Ihc scene last
evening.
Th river miners are all quiet and have
kept within the bounds of law. The In-
quist held by 'Squire Browueller of Perry
township on the four dead strikers found
the shooting justifiable and exonerated the
depulks.
Coroner Batten , however , sajs the inquest
was unauthorized and without Instructions.
He hat ordered Deputy Coroner Echard to
hold another inquest today and to make a
thorough Investigation. A few leaders tay
they will prefer charges of murder against
the deputies.
CONNELLSVILLE , Pa. , May 23. The
cold rain last night dltper.td several mobs
of strikers and probably averted bloodshed.
The strikers were excited over the klllllng
of their fellow workmen at Washington
mines and were r ady for any desperate
undeitaking to revenge the terrible slaughter.
Several mobs were organized with the avowed
Intention of killing tome deputies , but the
cold rains und biting northwest winds drove
them to shelter. The leaders announced laat
evening that the men were becoming desper
ate and that Is was beyond their power to
control them. When the news was received
at headquarters lhat the mobs were
forming the leaders gave up nndwatted
developments. The first mob was
formed near Penusvllle and marched to
Meyer The wind was blowing coldiy and
the rain was falling heavily , but still tbo
Infuriated mob swept on over the muddy
roads , preceded by brass and martial bands ,
which plajed between showers. When the
strikers arrived within a quarter of a mlla
ot tbe plant , they were met by a delegation
of strikers , who told them thut It was use
less to attack the works. Sev ent j-five men ,
they fcald , were guarding the plants and two
Galling guns wete rcauy for action. The
strikers turned toward the tummlt , but
soon became exhausted , und atter many had
fallen by the wajsldo. weak and unable to
go farther , the res > t dUpersed.
Another mob of 1.001) inarched to Jim-
town to make an attack ut da j break , but
the cold wind and rain so benumbed them
that they finally bought Kheller In the
homes of other tinkers near the works.
At Dunbar , a large mob alto assembled , but
dispersed as soon as the } learne-d that tbo
company had secured an injunction.
The operators claim heavy gains at all
thtlr plants today , and many are now run
ning full.
