CRIPPLE CREEK , Colo. , Juno 4. All
rumors of a conflict between strikers and
deputies are erroneous. There has been no
conflict nnd there Is no likelihood that there
will bo ono before tomorrow night or Wednes
day , The deputies are awaiting rifles , a
galling gun and ammunition , which will not
reach them before tomorrow , nnd It Is no
part of the strikers' plans to make an attack
upon the deputies. '
U is reported hero that over 1,000 deputies
nave taken a train at Divide for Midland ,
the terminus ot the Midland Terminal rall-
ft-ay , and will proceed at once to Bull Hill.
Thu telegraph offlco at Divide refuses to
tend out messages and the sentinels will not
permit any travel between this cty ! and Dl-
.Vlde.Tho
The strikers have spent the day In per
fecting their defenses. Their forces were
Increased today by 300 men , who came from
the direction1 Pueblo. Women and chil
dren have been streaming toward this place
troni Victor and Altman. The miners have
loaded beer kegs with dynamite , scrap Iron
and railroad spikes , and have placed them
on the crests ot Globe hill and Battle moun
tain. The defensive movements of the strik
ers have been decided upon , and are about
as follows : Mounted scouts , who are spread
qut In all directions , upon discovering the ad-
.vutice of the deputies , will hasten lo camp
, XUli the Information. A prearranged signal
I/ / * will bo Rounded on the steam whistle at
1'lke's Peak mine , when the strikers will take
their designated positions. The skirmish
ers will fall back slowly , keeping the depu
ties engaged , until they reach the barricades
erected at the foot of Bull Hill. Behind
the barricades the strikers will make a
land , defending themselves with guns and
bombs. If driven from the barricades they
, \vlll hasten up the slope to the fort. Should
the deputies follow them the dynamite
mines , which have been planted at every
few yards , will bo exploded. Cannon and
bombs will simultaneously deal out death ,
tram the fort.
Besides taking Henry E. Woods , president
of the Victor Townslte company , Into cus
tody , the strikers last night seized Clarence
O. Flncll , county superintendent of schools ,
and D. E. Wllklns , a Colorado Springs
teacher , and they are now held prisoners on
Bull Hill as hostages for President Catffer-
wood or any other miners who may be ar
rested.
John Shorten , editor of the Cripple Creek
Herald , organ of the miners' union , has
been arrested by the deputies. .
A reign of terror exists in this city.
Women and children are being removed to
places of safety. The general belief Is that
the deputies will advance against the
ntrlkers on Bull Hill today or tomorrow. It
Is reported that General Palmer who Unlit
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad , and has
nn established reputation as n fighter , will
bo In command ot the deputies' army , with
Charles Adams In direct charge of the cav
alry. The fighting force on Bull Hill was
Increased today by the nrrhn ! of seventy-
eight coal miners from Fremont county , and
now number about 1,300 men.
A delegation of citizens waited upon the
leaders of the strikers today and Interceded
for the'TeleOKO of Mr. Woods , who , they rep
resented , had 'always employed union men
nnd treated them well. Upon learning that
President Calderwood ot their union had not
been arrested the strikers released their
prisoners , Messrs , Woods , Finch and Wll
klns. whom they wore holding as hostages ,
Mr. Finch loft Immediately for Colorado
BprlngB , vowing to swear out warrants fur
Ills caplors.

to The Beo. ) The local camps of mllltla ,
which have been at Evani for several days ,

miners having disbanded and a portion of
them returned to work. U Is believed the.
backbone of the strike Is broken In that
Bcctlon , The much advertised barbecue yes
terday was a failure. The strikers were
lowing for their homes all day and will all
be gone by tomorrow. They all saw It waa
useless to Iry to uae force whllo tlin mllltla
was there and they made up their minds
they were clearly out of It. The household
ot Huns who lived beside the mllltla camp
were given their time and notified they could
not return to work under any conditions.
'A diffident number ot men will be Im
ported from Missouri within a week
to flll the shifts a * the mine. They will
bo met at the county line and all will bo
worn In as deputies ami armed by the sher
iff. , Tlila morning between ICO and 200 men
returned to work , a large proportion nf
them being whites. Superintendent Me-
Nelll nude a tour ot the miners' homos and
informed the men that all who wanted to
might go to work , and that In case they
failed to gq to work In A tow days other men
.would be put In tholr places.

anxious to arbitrate. U Is said they will
wnlve the point of none but union men be
ing employed In the mines , provided Immu
nity from punishment for past outrages be

fear that a compromise will result In a
mere postponement of a conflict which they
regard a.s being Inevitable and are Inclined
to have the battle out now.

vices to May 8 and China lo May 9. The
Japanese Diet met May 12 and a candidate
hostile to the government was nominated
for president of the lower houeo by a plur
ality of seven votes over the next highest
candidate. The selection of Kusuomoto Masa-
taka , the successful candidate , will no doubt
be confirmed by Uio emperor. The session
ot the Diet was formally opened by the em
peror In person May 15. On May 18 Count
Ho , minister president of state , delivered his
formal address to the homo and there were
scenes of great disorder. The address was
frequently Interrupted and the minister was
asked many direct questions , which ho de
clined to answer. The fight between the
government and the opposition Is particularly
sharp on the question of foreign treaties ,
the opposition standing for a rigid enforce
ment and especially as to Korea. The gov
ernment wants a revision of the treaties.
An address Impeaching the minister was
brought In , but was defeated by five votes.
Another address of censure U pending , but
was Introduced by the party comprising the
government followers. If not supported by
the opposition the government must boon be
defeated.
An anti-government newspaper league of
seventy-six Japanese papers nnd magazines
has been formed for the purpose of opposing
several propositions of national policy , and
particularly to secure the abolition.of the
present government power to suspend news
papers. A newspaper league to support the
government has likewise been formed.
Canton Is In serious alarm over a plague
of fever and dysentery which has made Its
appearance. In one place an unconfirmed
report says forty deaths have occurred In

sued proclamations prohibiting the slaughter

habitants nre going through elaborate re
ligious rites to frighten away the plague.
The Korean revolt had not been suppressed
at last accounts. Statements as to Us extent
and the amount of Injury already Inflicted
by the rebels ure constantly coming In. One
report says that 10,000 Inhabitants of Sofu ,
In Zenra province , arose and massacred
three officials , and then broke Into the gov
ernment storehouse and confiscated a large
amount of rice. Soldiers were dispatched to
quell the disturbance , but found the populace
so Inflamed and angry that they were able
to do nothing. The Korean minister of
war Is now LI Shoga , who recently succeeded
Mining Yen Chen.
A collision occurred recently near Ponang
between the steamers Ngapoota. and Kwan-
tung. In which over sixty lives were lost.
The Kwantung ran down the Ngapoota In

age and made appeals to the Kwangtung for
relief. The latter had a large hole In her
port side , and she Immediately made for
land. Of 138 passengers on the Ngapoota
forty-eight are known to have been saved.

said that the composition of the ministry
was not In accordance with the express will

To this M. Goblet replied , saying thai his

of the cabinet , which , ho added , was formed
with disregard for the parliamentary con- '
dltlons. The radicals , ho added , had no
confidence In the ministry , and a Dupuy

mean a condition of affairs worse than
monarchy. f
There was an uproar In the Chamber at
the conclusion of M. Goblet's remarks.
Finally M. Dupuy accepted M. Isambert'fl
motion to the effect that the Chamber had
confidence that the government would pursue - >

VANCOUVER , Juno 4. The Fraser river
rose four Inches last night nml U Hllll ris
ing. The highest water will not bo rcachcil
for another week. Vancouver ID about shut
off from the rest ot the world except by
steamer. All telegraph wires nre down cast
and the Canadian Pacific railroad has
stopped selling tickets , nil trains being can
celled. Yesterday passengers were brought
down by steamer from Vale to Westminster ,
thence by electric cars to Vancouver. Sat
urday and Sunday all telegraph wires were
down.
At Westminster the water Is over the
floors of buildings and wharves , and as there
will bo 11 very high tide tomorrow It Is ex
pected that Front street will be flooded. All
the mills along the water front liavo been
shut down for the last week. Many houses
and cabins In the lower portion of the town
ar.e nofloating. . A report reached here
this morning that the dyke at Lulu Island
had Riven way , but It has not been con
firmed. If that be true thu best agricultural
district In the whole Fruper valley will be
flooded. Reports from the upper river slnto
that the water Is still rising rapidly and on
Juno 1 the temperature at Qiiesnele was 105
In the shade , the water rising four Inches
nn hour.
At Yale the water Is one foot eight Inches
above the 18S2 mark and Mill rising. The
large railway building at Mission Is still
Intact , hut It Is expected to go shortly , owing
to the height of the water and the quantity
of the driftwood. So far no further loss of
life Is reported , and there have been only two
deaths from the flood as far as known.
Saturday's train had a narrow e.scape at
Nlcoll bridge , the last car being barely off
the bridge when It went down. At North
Demi a Chinaman was drowned. It Is staled
that If the water subsides rapidly there Is 11
possibility of saving the timothy crop , while
barley and oats can also he sown , -still It Is
Impossible to estimate the loss , but it will
be enormous. Subscriptions have been
started In every town and money Is being
freely received.
COLUMBIA STILL ItlSINli.
Union 1'nctrtc Steamer IJrulile to Miiltn

PORTLAND , Ore. , Juno 4. The waters
steadily continue to rise. Since last night
six Inches have been added to their depth.
No news can bo obtained from the upper
Columbia region or the Pugct Sound coun
try. The only telegraphic communication
with the outside world Is by way of San
Francisco. The Union Pacific steamer Har
vest Queen , which left Portland yesterday
for the Cascades , was unable to makti head
way against the swift current and was
tied up -Bonncvllle for the night. From
the mouth , of the Willamette to Cathlamot
the lowlands are flooded. At some places
the housetops nre barely visible and float-
-lHKho.usesar ? a'cpnjmpi blght. 'ttin toRn

city many wharves 'along the rl\er front art ;
snapping and cracking In an ominous fashion.
On pearly all of them are valuable goods
which cannot be removed at present. The
gas company was compelled to teabc opera
tions today.
The river reached the thirty-two-foot mark
this evening and Is still rising. Hundreds of
persons whoso places of busfncss am sub
merged have moved out and established new
temporary places. In the lower portions of
the city , where a great many poor persons
live , the condition Is most deplorable. Qieat
numbers have been driven out by the lifvad-
Ing waiters and have taken temporary refuge
wherever shelter can be found. Much dis
tress prevails and the temperature has fallen
ten degrees at IJaker City during the past
twenty-four hours , from which It Is surmised
that the temperature has fallen o\er the
country drained by the Columbia and Its
tributaries , In which case there Is a pos
sibility of a cessation ot the rise.
This afternoon the Western Union Tele
graph company * succeeded In restoring com
munication with Taconia and Spokane.

VANCOUVER. D. C. , Juno 4. Four mil
lion dollars will hardly cover the present
loss by the Fraser flood and there Is not
yet any sign of abatement. The waters are
still rising and as the warm weather con
tinues' melting the snow In the Rockies there
Is no Immediate prospect of beginning the
work of restoration. One prominent railway
official thinks the loss of life will reach 100 ,
though conservative estimates are not so
high. Bridges , trestles , tunnels and tracking
along tho. Canadian Paclllc have gone and
the company has over -,000 men at the
scenes of danger working night and day.
From Prevelstock to the sea , 380 miles ,
along the railway Is now a watery waste.
The last point above Vancouver which can
now bo reached Is Iluby Creek , eighty-two
miles. Thence Is all water. Masqui , Mis
sion , Chtlliwack , Patslo and Lnngley prairies
and the towns of Harrlbon , Centcrvllle ,
Langley , Chllllwack and Mission are all
under water , not a farm building being
left standing. Fully 10,000 cattle have
perished. The blockade was broken for the
first time Saturday by a steamer from Huby
Creek to Warncck , Passengers on the delayed
eastern trains were brought through. The
railways ure completely demoralized.

being drained through trenches and Htcum
pumps are raising the water from the cellars.
Active- work of relief Is being done by the
citizens and municipal authorities and a
request has been sent Governor Walle for
the use ot 100 tents. Means are being de
vised , by a. company of engineers to prevent
a recurrence of the disaster. The coroner's
Jury In the case of Ilarney Hafferty , who
was found In the Bessemer ditch under cir

TERRE HAUTE , Ind. , Juno I. Four
pounds of dynamite were placed on the track
of Iho Evansvlllc & Terrc Haute railroad this
evening by striking miners. The terrible
explosive was placed on the track In front
of tlu ) train bearing several companies of
mllltla under General McKee. This was at
a point .1 few miles south of Farmcroburg ,
between hero and Shcllburn. Orders hud been
given the mllltla to escort n train load of co.il
past the sovcral mining camps. The coal
train went ahead , followed by the train with
the mllltla. After proceeding about a mile
the coal train came to a atop , having been
stopped by an obstruction on the track. In
ambush In the heavy thickets nn each side
of the track were 200 miners. It was their
purposeto capture the train. The disem
barkation of the troops was Immediately be
gun , and General McKee ordered them to try
to surround the miners , but the maneuver
failed , as the miners scattered. The wreckage -
ago on the track was removed and the coal
train was sent on. Four dynamite bombs
were found near Shelburn and were forced
oft 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 stronghold. The mllltla are sleeping
on their arms near Farmcrsburg and noth
ing more will be done to recapture the train
until morning. _

CHICAGO , Juno I. ( Special Telegram to
The Dee. ) The ciusc of the sudden disap
pearance of William A. Slmsrott , secretary-
treKsurer oftho Swltchmenjs Mutual Aid
association , has at last been discovered. For
a couple ? of weeks past a special commit
tee has been Investigating the books. Today
It was found that Slmsrott has credited the
first lodge of the Switchmcn'H Mutual Aid
association with $2,000 less than the re
ceipts , show he had received from It.
It look nearly two weeks to untangle
this one account , and get the others
in a shape to balancs In a set of books without
system or rule. This initial error was nn
overwhelming surprise and the members of
the Inquisition nre trembling with apprehen
sion lest the 17 ! ) remaining lodges bu found
victims of a similar neglect. They hope that
the figures showing the discrepancies may
be the result of their Inability to fntho.n the
ways of the books , and regret exceedingly
that the man who has handled $ .100,000 n
year for the 8,000 members should be absent
just at this time , when they most need his
assistance.

1IACI ) RUBEl'S ' RINGS F3UND
Were in Possession of Mrs. Payne , Who ia
Placed Untlor Guard ,
SAYS HER HUSBAND GAVE THEM TO HER
Story Condli-tn with Ono Told tn n Neighbor
( llrl'n SlmcH A Inn I'onnil at Her
HotiHc Case lleciiines .More
Puzzling .Still ,
The rings Maud Rubel wore and which
were missing when her body was discovered
have been found and tndcntlflcd by the
parents. The plush covered slippers which
are supposed to have belonged to the girl
have also been found , but the parents have
not yet seen them. Thcso things were re
covered In the house now occupied by the
woman who passed as the wife of Sam
Payne , the negro who last occupied the
apartments at SOt ! South Tenth street , and
the woman Is detained at the police station
though she has not been placed under ar
rest.
Information had been received that Mrs.
Payne had shown the rings to a neighbor
several days ago with the explanation that
they hud been given to her by a white
man , who , she said , was stuck on her.
When visited by olllccrs Mrs. Payne re
luctantly produced the rings and after being
taken to jnll she sild that the slippers could
be found In a pile of bed clothing In a part
of the house which she Indicated.
When seen at the jail last night Mrs.
Payne ut first said that her name was not
Payne , but llal.cr , and even denied knowing
I'.iyne , hut afterwards she stated that some
times she went by his name and that she
had occupied the looms at SOfi South Tenth
street with him. She said they left several .
days ago , Just when she could not tell. She >
MI Id she was now In Nellie King's uld IIOUBO
simply to take care of It. When asked when (
she saw her husband last she replied : "Oh. i
It might have been three ilnjs ago , and It /
nilght have been three weeks , " She then
said that the two rings were given her by
him four or five days ugo. He asked her
to keep them for him , as he did not want
to rarry them around. "That ts all , " she
said , "he ever said about the lings. "
When asked If ho had given her the plush
slippers , she answered : "I won't say he did
or he did not. That's something that 1 do
not think I ought to answer. "
"I am sorry , " said Mrs. Payne , "to ba
placed before the public tn such an unfavor
able light , but talking , under the ctrcum-
fctances , Is no use. "
WANT TO FIND PAYNE.
These circumstances Increase the dcslrs
ot the police to get their hands on Payile ,
though thcofllccrs have not concluded that thu
facts point to his guilt , nor do they rely on
the statement of Mrs. Payne that the rings
were given her by her husband. It has been
proven conclusively that Payne va
cated the rooms he had In the
Tenth street building a week ago
hist Friday. The following Saturday , or
the day previous to the disappearance of the
Rubol Rlrl , Payne left for Kunsns City. Just .
when ho returned is not known , but Mis"
Payne said that after , her husband left she
dlil not sec him for three days. Ho lias
long been n resident ot Omaha. He bears
a fairly gaud reputation and has only once
during his residence In this city been under
police surveillance. Thjjt was.four Drears ago.
Ho was arrested for'Youbery proved to
be the wrong man.
It will be remembered that when Aland
Rubel's body was found a cloak was found
with It. This cloak was for some time and
until yesterday" thought to have been MSR |
Rubel's. Yesterday It was discovered that It
did not belong to her. About two week's
ago The Bee printed an article relating that
William Knottu , residing at ICOf Howard
fctrcot , went to the pollco to report that
Miss Laura Barrett , who left home a year
previous with n Mr. Cleveland , had boon teen
In the city. Ho wanted the police to ap
prehend her. Nothing was done In the case ,
however , but a few days after the report
was made it was learned that a young girl
was lying sick at the house of a colored man
under the Eleventh street viaduct. This girl
was Miss Barrett.
WAS MISS BARRETT'S CLOAK.
The cloak belonged to Mlsa Barrett. The
police do not connect Miss Barre'tL In any
way with the case and how the clo-ilc got
to the room Is a mystery , and thp only way
It can bo accounted for Is It may have been
thrown away by Mlfs Barrett and foundby
some ono eonneoted with the murder. The
only object In throwing It over Miss Rubel'ii
body would be , Inasmuch as there wore two
girls of about the name age missing , to
cause the pollco doubt as to the Identity of
the body.
Dr. Brown was again asked for an Inter
view last night. Ho only volunteero'l the
Information .that , his attorney advised him
to nay nothing of the case' Brown said
the truth would bo known very soon und he
hoped for a complete vindication.
Some Interest was caused by the report of
Mlhs Drewstor- residing at Eighteenth street
and St. Mary's avenue. She Is employed ut
King & Smcad's overall factory , Eleventh
and Jackeon streets. She was looking out
of the window last Monday and saw a col
ored man and a white woman at the north
end of the Eleventh street viaduct. She
thought the girl was crying and saw the
man lead her by the arm down under the
vlailtct. : , She could not state whether It wan
Payne or not.
The pollco say they have facts that will
develop the case In n very few dayH now.
What they were they would not toll , but
guaranteed that it would not ba another
week till the Rubel case waa cleared up.
