CRIPPLE CIU2I2K , Colo. , May 27. The
delegation from Colorado Springs , consisting
of Dr. Slocum , president of Colorado college ;
Dr. C. M. Collals , president of the Trades
assembly ; Mr. T. W. Bates , president , and
Mr. Charles Gelsler , secretary of the Car
penters union ; Mr. I ) . II. Hasan of the
Carpenters union and Hev. IS. Kvans Car-
rlngton , all of Colorado Springs , came to th < ;
city this morning with the hope that some
thing might bo done to settle the contro
versy that has arisen in connection with the
strike. The gentlemen reached this city
nt 9 o'clock and soon after left for Altnmn
for a conference with the miners.
They were very courteously received by
President Cnlderwood and other representa
tives of the union. A caucus was held at
jvhlch It was stated that the delegation , en
tirely of Its own responsibility , had come In
the Interest of peace and arbitration of all
disputes. Atter a satisfactory caucus the
miners In the vicinity congregated about
the building In which the meeting was held
and Dr. Slocum addressed them , stating the
conditions upon which arbitration could be
brought about. He was cordially received
by the crowd and loudly applauded.
He was followed by Mr. Carrlngton , who
further explained the reasons which had
brought the delegation here , and then Mr.
Collals addressed the audience.
A meeting of the Miners union has been
called for 10 o'clock tomorrow night , and
there Is every reason for thinking that a
committee will bo appointed which will at
tempt to arbitrate and settle the whole
trouble. The principle of arbitration Is one
of the fundamental Ideas of the union , and
it Is believed that an agreement can be
reached. In the meantime there will be a
complete cessation of hostilities on all sides.
Prisoners arc to be exchanged , and It Is
most earnestly hoped that this unfortunate
nffair will bo settled und a new era of good
feeling nnd prosperity brought to the camp.
Superintendent McDonald nnd two of Ills
picn are Btlll held as hostages at the foot
Cf Bull Hill.
An attempt was made this afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Jackson , Mayor Lindsay and
Secretary Frank Wolf of the Miners union
to try nnd make arrangements with the
authorities at Colorado Springs to have the
picn at that place released. The miners
promised that If this was done they would
nt once have Superintendent McDonald nnd
fcls men hafcly conducted to their homes.
Xt has been Impossible for the parties Inter-
$ sted to come to any definite understanding ,
but Mayor Lindsay Is In hopes that the mat-
Jfor may be arranged before morning.
' The Idea of arbitration was suggested yes
terday by President Slocum of the Colorado
college to n number ot mining men of
Colorado Springs. They were loth to listen
to him for a time , but after working with
them the entire day and up to midnight they
finally consented that he might make an
effort to end the strike. If the miners ac-
popt the proposition they will appoint two
fncn , the mine owners two men und the
lour to select a fifth. Iw advance It hns
( been Muted that eight hours shall constl-
.tuto a day's work and all that will have
to be arbitrated Is what shall be received
.therefor. An awful strain has been lifted.
; Jlnd a majority of the people feel convinced
that the trouble Is at an end.
> It Is questionable If an old campaigner
Could have selected a stronger position than
that chosen by the Cripple Creek mlneis on
Bull Hill. Bull Hill is quite a lofty peak.
/The sides ot the mountain are very preclptt-
, CUs to within a short distance of the top ,
fvhcre they are perpendicular. The top of
this mountain Is perfectly level , and here It
Is that the fort has been located. Prom
this point the entire valley can be seen and
also the surrounding mountains np.d passes.
It Is utterly Impossible for n body of men
to approach It from any direction and escape
pbaervatlon. So dllllciilt Is ( he approach
| Uiat no body ot men could hope to fccale the
( mountain nnd dislodge the occupants of the
fort , unless many times greater than ( lie
party of defenders , and then only with great
platighter and with a display of dcipernto
couruge. Immediately beneath the fort Is
the Victor mine , where It can bo easily fired
Upon. In Uio valley and on the sides of
adjacent mountains are the towns of Victor ,
'Altniun ' and Buena Vista , und the Strong ,
'Anna ' Leo and Independence mine * , nil
jvlthln reach of modern nrtlllery.
The fort Is well supplied with food and
nmnumUlon , and the only thing th.it would
Weaken it In a long fclege Is lack of water.
{ Whether the strikers have artillery or not
Is not definitely known. Krom this btrong-
Jiold sentries , each of whom Is heavily
armed , watch every Inch of ground within
tbo ran KG of vision and go forth In kqtiudu
to KU.ird all pastes and to run aut ot the
region nil persons who are dlstahteful to
thorn , or who net It ) a suspicious manner.
{ They bellve they are fighting for their rights
nnd Khlrk no danger , and no member of the
regular nrmy could bo so Imperative In his
Uemandb or more ready to shoot down the
man who fails to comply with them. Whllo
the fort Is at all times guarded by a force
sutllclcnt to hold It , the scouting parties
Kuard the passes , and still there ure enough
to swarm nil over Dull Hill and give an
Immediate alarm of the approach of n body
ot men If , by any possibility , Midi body
eliould escape the vigilance of tlioie in the
fort.

the strikers this morning that if the prison-

imtlnn llelng Mndo Piiblle.
DfiNVKK , Mny 27. At G o'clock this
morning Governor Wnlte recalled his order
for the troops to ttnrt for Cripple Creek.
He spent the night considering the various
pha cs of the situation , nnd decided that
the law Hionld tnke Its course. The troops
nro , however , held In readiness to move
at nn hour's notice.
Bvur since It became known that Governor
Wnlto Intended to call out troops the
cltl/cns here have been trying to solve the
peculiar situation. The situation is substan
tially as follow H : A body of miners strike
for shorter days and more pay. The
Rtrlkers nrm themselves , construct fortifica
tions , assault nonunion men ( in come cases
tnklng life ) , and bring Into the region largo
quantities of ammunition. The mine owners
finally decide to resume work on their
proposals and believing Hint their employes
will need protection , call on the sheriff.
The sheriff , being cognizant of the prepara
tions made by the strikers , swears In a
number of deputies , many of whom reside
In adjoining counties , supplies them with
urtns and assembles them near the tcene of
the strike.
Governor Walte Is aware of the state of
affairs. IIu ha been called upon for aid
by the sheriff of the county In which the
trouble exists , but Issues n proclamation
calling on the people to lay down their arms
and dlHpeiso and calls out the entire state
mllltln to enforce the proclamation. Good
lawyers have given opinions for nnd against
this stand. Hy iome It Is claimed that
It Is clearly against the law for the deputies
to bo drawn from the counties other than
the one In which the trouble exists , henc3
the governor has the right to dccUre mili
tary law ut the scene of trouble , call out
the militia and go to any extent that may be
necessary to disarm the assembled forces.
On the other hand It Is claimed that to long
as the men are legally deputized It matters
not where they are recruited. Neither
the sheriff nor any other citizens have
called for aid In suppressing the uprising ,
and It Is held that the governor has no
right to send the state militia Into the
county. The charge Is not openly made ,
but there n're ninny people who feel that
in view of the governor's expressed sym
pathy with the strikers It was the governor's
desire to dlfcpcrse the deputies only , although
the proclamation called upon all men to lay
down their arms and disperse.
The Is'.ue of this strike Is thought to beef
of the greatest Importance. There Is n
feeling that If the strikers win the other gold
and hllver camps will Immediately bs the
scone of trouble. Some papers , which In
the past have supported Governor Walte ,
todny express the opinion that the governor
has no right to call out the mllltla except
In aid of the civil nuthorltles , ns military
power should be second to the civil power.
It Is thought that this accounts for the re
call of the mllltla order.

Anthracite Coal Mines Closed on Account
of Illgli Water.
PHILADELPHIA , May 27. The anthracite
coal trade , like the bituminous trade , Is at
a standstill , though from vastly different
causes. The floods throughout the anthra
cite regions have flooded many of the mines ,
forcing a suspension of work until the
flooded mines can be relieved of the surplus
water. The result of the enforced stoppage ,
together with the curtailed production of
the anthracite mining companies for several
months past , has produced a scarcity of
hard coal , and especially with the Heading
company , which has been compelled within
the past few days to decline orders. Out of
some forty collieries operated by the Heading
all but twelve nreat present In n condition
to prevent the mining of coal , but the offi
cials expect In a few days ' > have the major
ity of them pumped out unl In operation.

SUGAR SCHEDULE THE ISSUE
Prospective Oontest Over tbo Subject in the
Senate Pro eking Interest.
LIKELY TO CONSUME THE ENTIRE WEEK
.Special Committee Iiitentlgatliig the Opera
tion * of the Trust Will Claim Several
Diijs1 to Millie ItH Itcport mid
Aitlc Further Ailtlco.
WASHINGTON. May 27. The main Inter-
cat in the proceedings In t'lic senate this )
week centers In the prospective contest over
the sugar schedule , which will probably be
reached on Tuesday. The consideration of
the metal schedules having been concluded
Saturday , the wood schedule Is the only one
now standing before sugar. The principal
debate on the wood schedule will be on the
subject of lumber , which having been put on
the free list , when so many other articles of
raw material are made dutiable , will arouse
nit animated discussion ; but It Is believed
by the leaders on both sides of the senate
chamber that It will be possible to dispose of
the entire wood schedule on Monday.
H Is also possible that the special commit
tee which Is Investigating the alleged opera
tions of the Sugar trust In connection with
legislation may claim the attention of the
senate for a portion of the week. H Is
quite probable that the committee will re
port the refusal of the newspaper witnesses
to testify In response to certain questions
put by the committee and ask for Instruc
tions from the senate In the event that
this report should be made on Monday , as
Is probable , the report would lie over for a.
day and would probably lead to some debate.
The questions that such o report would raise
are of u character to make a foundation for
home animated and even a prolonged con
troversy , but as the democratic senators are
anxious that the whole debate should be sub
jected to as little delay as possible , and the
republican senators profess not to be desir
ous of retarding progress , the question , If
precipitated , may not receive the attention
that It would under other circumstances.
There Is also a possibility of adjourning
over for Decoration day. The republican
opponents of the bill will probably suggest
this adjournment , but the democrats have
not yet decided whether they will agree to
the proposition.
Senr.tor Jones expressed the opinion today
that the sugar schedule could be disposed of
In two days , but the opponents do not
think it can be gotten out of the way In so
short a time : Senators on both sides of
the chamber are looking forward to the vote
on sugar with an Interest that amounts al
most to anxiety. It Is very evident that
the result of the contest over this schedule
will be regarded In a large measure
as a test of the strength of the respective
sides on the bill as a whole. If the com
mittee amendments should bo accepted the
democrats expect to have smooth sailing on
other portions of the bill until the income
tax shall bp reached , and are even hopeful
tunt with sugar disposed of they will bo able
to get the opponents of the bill to name a
day for taking a vote on the ppssage of the
bill. The republican leaders pay , however ,
that the bill Is one which , from its nature ,
requires to be discussed by schedules and
that it would tie difficult , for this reason ,
to agree upon a day for a vote and be sure
that th'e consideration of the schedules would
be completed by the time agreed upon. They
say. however , that they will be willing to
ccrfer with the democrats upon this propo
sition after the vote upon sugar shall be
token. They claim now , as they claimed
from the beginning , that they are not dis
posed to resort to any tactics for the delay
of the bill and most of them seem really
willing now that the bill should be disposed
of as soon as possible consistent with due
attention to the various Interests affected
by the schedules not yet considered. After
the sugar debate there will probably be no
long speeches , unless they bo made on the
income tax. The republicans probably will
make their strongest effort In connection
with the sugar schedule to have the bounty
law retained. Senator Walsh will make his
maiden speech In the senate , which will been
on the tariff tomorrow at 11 o'clock. Sen
ator Pettlgrew will also speak at some lengthen
on Monday.

State Hunk Debate Will IIuio the Kight
of Way.
'
WASHINGTON , May 27. The coming
week In the house will be broken up by
special orders and adjournment over Decora
tion day. The state bank debate will have
the right of way , but It can get but three
days In the week at the best. Monday Is
District of Columbia day , and the state
bank men have consented not to Infringe on
that day. The bank bill will be taken up
again on Tuesday , when Representative
Johnson will make the opening republican
speech In opposition to state banks , and
Representative Cox will open for uncondi
tional repeal of the state bank tax. Repre
sentatives Warner of New York , Walker of
Massachusetts , Ilayner of Maryland , and
Harter of Ohio arc also down for speeches ,
some of which will go over on account of
Decoration dny. The bank question will get
another day on Thursday , to be displaced ,
however , on Friday. The hopes of the state
bank men are to close the debate , and , if
possible , get a vpto before the week cloaes.
Tlu anti-option bill and the Indian appro
priation bill are pressing for consideration ,
and one or the other of these will follow the
state bank bill. It Is hardly exppcted , how
ever , that either of them can ba reached
during the coming week.

WASHINGTON. May 27. The present
depleted condition of the treasury nnd the
dlKcouraglntr outlook for the future uve a
source of considerable anxiety to the offi
cials of the Treasury department. Already
the Bold reserve , which had been brought
up by tin ; last bond Issue to $107,390,813 , has
been reduced by expartatlons since March
10 to lews thnn JSU.uoo.CW , with no Indica
tions ; that the fou-lgn demand will cease
until It has jeneheil u lower ixilnt. With
the exception of the sold reserve ( ind
001111(111 ( ? every available dollar In the
vaultH in the treasury the government
today has less tlmn JSO.OOO.OOO with which
to meet Ita obligations.
Nor does the future Hliow nny signs of
encouragement. On the contrary , the proti-
able ilcllclt of J6.000,000 for the month of
Mar IH likely to be Increased by Jlo.000.000
during the two succeeding inontlis. The
closest calculation that can now be made
shows that the deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 30 will be , approximately , $74-
600,000. Close estimates place the receipts
for May at l .nou.OOO nml the disbursements
at liS.MO.OOO. Kor Juno the receipts are
likely to be about J2I.OOO.OOO. with the ex
penditures at { 26.000,000 , making tlio total
receipts for the fiscal year J291.503.719 , and
the disbursements $305.757,137 ,
While It Is confidently believed the re
ceipts for July will Increase somewhat , yet
It is much more certain the disbursements
will Increase. A conservative estimate of
the deficit for July la $12,000,000 , this Increase -
crease being- accounted for by the payment
of many obligation * , including about $7DOO-
009 In Interest that matures at the begin
ning of the fiscal year. During June the
iiciibton payments will amount to about
$10,500,000 , and during July nearly $11,750,000.
The exuft amount of receipts and ex
penditures for the present month and for
the fiscal year to date , aie as follows :

CLEVELAND , Mny | 27.-I.atc last night
a Polish woman named Mrs. Kllzabjth
Jnnlckl was found wandering In the streets
In the southern part of the city suffering
from a wound In the head. She suld snc
lind been assaulted by a mnn , but bcfoie
she could give the particulars of the assault
she became unconscious nnd was removed
to the hospital. She has not yet leoovered
consciousness.
Rev. A. F. Kolnss2e\\Is , the deposed par-
tor , of St. Stanislaus cathedral church ,
makes a startling charge In connection
with the list-null. He declares that Mrs.
Janlckl was the principal witness In po .
session of Information about a plot to blow
him up with dynamite when the row nt
St. Stanislaus church was In progress. He
says ono Koscltipkl was deputized to p'ace
a bomb In his buggy. After hH deposition
Rev. Kolnsszewls went to Syracuse , N. Y. ,
and he declares Kosclnskl followed him to
that city , and with a cruclllx In his hand
confessed the part ho was to take In the
plot. A short time thereafter a Polish
printing olllce In this : city wns destroyed
by lire. In the ruin" of the building the
dead body of Kosclnckl was found with u
knife wound In tile abdomen. Father
Kolnsszewls says Kosclii'-kl was murdered
and his body burned to conceal the crime
by persons who knew of his confession ,
and an attempt made to put Mrs. Janlckl
out of the way because of her knowledge
of the plot. The other diction of St. Stan
islaus congregation laugh at the priest's
story , but the police aiu Investigating the
assault.

acquitted of the charge of mlsinnnnglng
the parish funds , but the sentence of ex
communication published by Hlshop Matz
is removed. The members of St. Joseph's
parish suspected such to be the case when
Father Mnlone assisted the archbishop In
conducting the services this morning , and
were enjoyed when , at the conclusion of
the sermon , the archbishop announced his
decision. Father Mulone will In the future
give his entire time to' hla paper , the Colorado

LONDON , May i7. A dispatch to the
Tlmco from Madrid says there was a sicken
Ing spectacle In the bull ring there this after
noon. El Kspatcro , n well known matador ,
whllo engaging the Drat bull for the ring ,
was caught by one of the horns of the
animal and his abdomen was ripped open.
Ho died five minutes later.
The Standard correspondent at Madrid
sends further details of the killing of El
Espartero. The bull hud killed four
horses and he became extremely fierce
when the banderlllos fixed their darts
In his neck. Sixteen thousand persons
were watching the light and the excitement
was Intense. The bull was almost In the
center of the arena , pawing the ground and
tossing his head. His eyes gleamed
wlckedy an Kl Espartero approached him
with his usual daring , which brought forth
plaudits from the spectators. As ho got
near , the Infuriated bull made a rush for
him and knocked him down. Ho was not
apparently hurt for he sprang nimbly to his
feet and again attacked the animal , which
had wheeled about , preparatory to making
another charge upon his enemy.
There was a minute of suspense nnd then
with lowered head the bull rushed nt the
matador , who sprang to ono side and plunged
his dagger Into the neck of the animal.
Just as ho did so the bull swung his head
In the direction of 131 Espartero , at the
same time lifting It. One of the animal's
herns caught the unfortunate matador In the
abdomen and tore his body open almost up
to the chest. Ulood poured from the ghastly
wcund In n torrent as El Espartero sank
fainting to the ground. Ho was at once
carried to an Infirmary , when the doctors
pronounced his Injuries mortal. A priest
was summoned and administered extreme
unction. In five minutes he was dead.
The spectators , or at loust the greater
portion of them , did not propose that their
pleasure should be spoiled by a man who
had been well paid to assist In making the
holiday , and .so the fight was continued. All
the bulls fought well , killing fifteen horees
and flooring two of the toreadors , who were
severely bruised. El Espartcro was engaged
to be marled , and the wedding uas to have
taken place shortly. He was extremely
popular and had made a large fortune. It
was his Intention to retire from the ring
next year.

perior Investment stocks. Consols were
quoted at unexampled prices. Colonial stocks
also advanced. Foreign securities were
strong. Argentine securities were well sup

In home railway securities. Prices of
American railway securities fluctuated
greatly. The recent tariff news led to buyIng -
Ing , but further sules on shares of bank

a reaction. The movement was generally
upward. Denver & Rio Grande preferred ,

During Cattle. Thieves lining limited by
] > eputy Marshall * .
CHAMBERLAIN , B. IX , May 27.-Special (
to The Bee. ) Three deputy United States
marshals have left here bound for Gri'Roiy
county , wheie they will stilve to effect
the capture of some desperate cattle rust
lers. Two of the most daring men among
the rustlers are known by the names of
Powell and CumtnlngH , and a jiaillcular
effort will be made to capture them.
Scores of cattle have annually bce-i dis
appearing1 In that section for yeais , nnd It
Is believed that the gang of which Powell
and Cummlngs are the lenders know moio
nbout what has become of the-se cattle
than any one else. The gum ? , while un-
usuullv daring In Its operations. Is lo
exceedingly slippery , and only nnee ha\e
the members been caught In the ait of
attempting to lilt-pose of stolen Mock. This
occurred last fall , the cattle being dilvin
oveiland to O'Neill and shipped fiom thuie
to Omaha. At Omaha an inspector of the
Live Stock association examined thebiands
on the nnlmalu und discovered that they
hud been stolen. For some untu'eountahle
reason Powell und CummlnKs nine never
been arrested for the crime , anil no effort
has been made to arrest them until now.
A portion of the cattle stolen and shipped
to Omaha on that occasion belonged to n
stoekmnn named Rhodes und were being
herded on the Rosebud reservation , whlui
fuel gives the I'nltcd States Juilsdlotlon
In the cusc. The nirest of Powell and
Cummliigs may result In others belni ; Im

law-abiding people In Gregory county li.nl
become weary of the depredations of the
rustlers , and weie about ready to lar.e

authorities decided to net.

ATCHISON , ,7.Iay 27. During the past
forty-eight hours ending at 0 o'clock the
Missouri liver has rl'cii nearly six feet nt
this point. The rise was rather sudden , and
great dnmago Is being done to property In
the vicinity of East Atchlson. During the
jMtt twelve hours the
stream has cut away
neatly 200 feet of adjoining land near that
town , und the work of destruction continues.
The town of East
Atchlson has been pro-
tccled heretofore by a strip of land known
as the "Point , " which cAlemlcd for several
yuids Into the rixer. This point has been
cut uwny , however , nnd the main current
of the stream now strikes the town almost
directly from the north. H will probably
be only a question of a few hours until the
cm rent 1ms full sway at East Atchlson , and
then no power on caith can save the place
fiom being swept away.
Great excitement prevails thcro and n
great many persons have moved to this side
of the river for safety. Storcbiilldlngs and
houses which stood In the north end of the
blllage are being torn down or moved by
their owners . Probably as many as a
do/en buildings were moved today , nnd the
work will continue throughout the night.
Laborers and teams from this city as well
us , from the country surrounding East Atchl
son. have been tent there to assist the
citizens In removing their houses.
Just north of East Atchlson there are
three lines of railroads paralleling ench
other the Rock Island , Santa Fe and Han
nibal & St. Joe. The river has encroached
to within less than thirty feet of the tracks
of these railways and It Is probable that
trains will be compelled to stop passing over
thorn. Several days ago a large force of
men was put to work by the railways rip-
rapping the bank In un effort to stay the en-
( Toiicliments. This was discontinued Satur
day for the reason that no bank could ba
secured to continue the rlprapplng , and nhib
that the stream washed It out almost as
fast as It was placed there. It Is thought
now that nothing further can be done and
citizens uro cither preparing to leave tha
place or else standing Idly by and watchlni ;
the river continue its.mission of destruction.
