Inc die without fixing the price ot mining.
Uthougli there was only a difference of 9
ents between the propositions of the miners
nd operators , neither side would make any
oncesslons. A lockout now seems probable ,
s the operators say they cannot operale
heir mines and pay over 51 cents. They
him they cannot compete far lake trade
gainst the I'lttsburg district at the rate pro-
nsed by the miners. About 24,000 miners
n the state suspended work May 1 pending
EetllDinenl. The operators will probably
quietly await the end of the I'lttsburg strike ,
nd In the event of a failure to adjusl the
Ifferences thcro with the miners will ds-
laro a lockout. The operators , It appears ,
hive anticipated a stispcnrJon and a month's
stock of coal , It Is said , has been accumu
lated.

been directly concerned In the Brltlah-NIca-

as to the part taken by the United States

Some recent cables to this country from
Condon have sought to convey the Impres-
lon that Senor Medina , tha Salvadorean
nlnlstcr , effected the settlement. It Is
ecognlzed as an established fact by those
amlllar with the correspondence that the
good offices of the State department exerted
n no uncertain vay through Ambassador
layard brought about the agreement. It was
leemed advisable , however , that Senor Mo

he coals dele'dltci signified their approval
iy round after round of applause. Comp-

ellght. Tlu convention adopted a 1C to 1
ilatform out and out and elected delegates
o the Springfield convention.
Ex-Judgo S. P. McConnel was made tern-

'The preside-ill 6f the United States , the

hlse , has repudiated the democratic party

or his nllltude on the money question and
vns wildly cheered at tli2 conclusion of his
emarks.
Kx-Congressman Ilryan came next. He said
n p.irt : "Wo are not here to denounce the

lere because we love him les , but because
ve love our countrymen more. ( Applause. )
Vo ara not here to say anything agilnst
he rights of Individual opinion , either in
he chief executive or In the humblest citi
zen , but we are here to protest against
anguage used In a letter written by Grover
Cleveland and published In this morning's

nan to hold office under this administration
vlthout bowing to the dictatorship of the
K-ail of It. This is the first ofllclal declara-
ion , my friends , that to hold office under
his administration , which forbade the dem
ocrats from Interfering In politics to defeat
a republican It Is the first announcement
hat democratic olllceholdlng depends on the
vllllnguess to fight democrats when they
could not fight republicans. " ( Applause. )
He then paid his respects to Senator

on "Democracy and Money" and got back

crats who denounced him and his attitude on
the money question at the convention this
nornlng.

ST. PAUL. May 4. A St. John , N. D. , spe
cial to the Pioneer-Press saya : Tha day
has been ono of much excitement , but ended
without bloodshed. IndUn Agent Hall cime
up from the agency thla forenoon and drove
out to where the half-bre-eds were fortified
In Klngan's house. He urged them not to
resist the cincsrs , saying Ihal all who lock
parl In the resistance were equally liable. Hed
Thunder , In reply , said the marshal could not
have the- men wan'ed ; that they were nU s'rong
enough without trcops. This afternoon ,
Michael Langen , one of the men for whom
warrants are out , came Into town and was
recognized by the marshal and arresled. Cltl-
zsns made strong cbjctlons to the marshal
holding Langen , claiming It would result In
an Immediate attack on the town. Marshal
Cronan decided the boldest course was the
best , and will send Ihe prisoner lo Rolla In
a buggy with two deputies.
Immediately on the arrest , a mounted
courier on Ihe watch In the brush near town ,
left for the half-breed camp. There was
great excitement en his arrival. The half-
breeds began dancing and preparing- their
ponies and bands started toward town several
times , but apparently were recalled by Iho
leaders. An Immediate attack seemed prob
able and the women and children here were
collected from the outlying houses. Agent
Hall then went to tha camp again. When he
first went in they were still much excited
and claimed he had promised them that no
arrests should be made that afternoon. Hall
told them he had promised that the marshal
would not altack hut not that If they came
Into town they would not be taken. It was
the duty of the marshal to serve Ihe war
rant It he found the man.

LINCOLN , M y 4. ( Sncl.V. ) Argument on
admUslblllty of the depository bond given by
the Capital National bank as evidence In the
case of the state against Hilt and his bonds
men was completed today at noon and the
court adjourned until 2 p. m. Monday. The
court reserved Its decision on the Important
point Involved until that hour. It Is under
stood that the admission of this evidence
would prove a great gain for U.ie defense.
Mr. LambcrUon this morning sprung a
ccup by quollng from Ihe brief prepared by
the late T. M. Marquett and Attorney Ames ,
the latler now counsel for the defense , and
filed In the trial two years ago In Omaha , In
which It was set up that Hill had wrongfully
effected a conversion of the stale's funds
when ho placed Ihe money In Ihe Capllal Na-
llonal bank and accepted certificates of de
posit. Mr. Lamberlson , In continuing his ar
gument from yesterday's adjournment , said
that Attorney Ames had , In the present case ,
palpably b'altteil his posltlcn from the ono ho
previously occupied In the trial of the state
against Hl.l U\o years ago In Oninlui.
Counsel said that while Hartley , the present
treasurer , was disposed to waive his right of
action In this and In a previous case , ho
had not the right to waive the right of the
state to maintain an action In this case. Mr.
Lambcrtson urged thai In case the bond were
admitted in evidence , and In case a suit were
con.iiienced upon that depository bond , In his
opinion nothing could ever bo collected upon ,
oven If It were a good bond , because , as no
noney had bsen pul In Ihe bank , no conslder-
allen Incurred. He believed It would be Im
possible lo recover on lhat bond , even it every
surety were sound at the present day-
IJARTLRY'S ACTION NO UAR.
It had been claimed that Hartley had rati
fied Hill's deposit by checking against It. But
Hartley could not ratify what Hill had no
right to do. The fictitious credit in a rotten
jank was not money , as recognized by the
state. Hartley had no right to take a certifi
cate of deposit from Hill. The Intent of the
depository law was that Che money of the
state should bo In the treasury , and then
; hat the different banks designated as deposi
tories should come In and bid for it. It had
jeen claimed that had Hartley drawn out the
S2S5.000 on the cerllflcale he would , under the
depository law , have been compelled to put
It all back -again. Mr. LambjrUon held dif
ferently. He could have used It In paying
running expenses of t'ne ' state. He could
lave held It a reasonable tlni3 anJ asked ott.er
banks to have come In and bid on It. It
could not be loaned for less than 3 per cent ,
It could bo placed at more than that If banks
had bid mere.
It has he-en claimed by the defense that
the state could sue on the deposllory bond.
The counsel doubled lhat. even were the
bond good. Ths bondsmen , he contended ,
were not responsible for an old debt of Ihe
bank. Had the money , actual money , been
put in the bank. Hartley could have taken It
DUt the next day and protected the state.
Hut the bank had been insolvent and rotten
for a long period prior to the covenant of
the bondsmen. Hartley , In getting out of
It what he could , $49,000 , had broken the
bank. Counsel did not believe a dollar could
have been recovered from the bondsmen for
this reason. Hill had been juggling with
credits Instead ot cash.
"Now , " said Mr. Lambertson , "would be
a good llmo for Ihls court to rebuke the prac
tice of Investing the mouey of the Stale
university and for the penitentiary In rotten
banks on a band given by rotten bondsmen. "
Out of the $1,500,000 alleged to have been
turned over to Hartley by Hill , $500.000 had
been In school funds. It Is presumable that
at least $75,000 ot the $ ! > 3G,000 lost In the
bank was school money , although there was
no separate record kept of that fund as hav
ing been deposited. ICach fund in the treas
ury should have been kept separate , so far
as It related Its deposit In banks.
Mr. Lambcrtson closed his argument on
the admission of the depository bond In evi
dence at 10 a. m. , and the court held a short
consultation. Seven attorneys had spoken at
length upon the question , Judge Wakeley
and Mr. Lambertson for the slate , and
Messrs. Ames , Wheedon , Broady , Cowln and
Rlnaker for the defense. The court an
nounced that It would not render a decision
upon the question of admitting the depos
itory bond of the Capital National bank In
evidence until .Monday afternoon.
DISCUSSING HILL'S BOND.
Judge Wakeloy occupied some time In dis
cussing Ihe liability ot Hill on hla ofilclal
bond as state treasurer. The counsel claimed
that , while Hill had not lechlnaclly affixed
his name lo Ihe bottom of Ihe document , he
had , wllh his own hand , written In his name
In several places in the body ot the bond ,
and executed It as his bond. Judge Wakeley
quoted authorities to show thai , under the
common law. Hill's bond was complete and
binding on all his sureties.
Counsel hold , from what he had found In
the law reports which he quoted , that bonds
men could hold a principal and recover from
him , if solvent , even though Iho principal
did not sign the bend. Upon the several de
cisions quoted , counsel said thai Ihe state
rested Its case on this one point , Ihe absence
of Hill's signature to the bond. The bonds
men were In nowise Injured. The absence ot
his signature did not release Hill's liability
to the bondsmen , and , therefore , It should
not release him , as a principal , from the
liability on the bond in question.
Judge Wakeley said he might , perhaps , ba
anticipating evidence to be submitted in the
future , but he was convlced thai when Ihey
placed witnesses on the stand to show that
they had any knowledge of Hill's failure to
sign the bond. It would be a most humiliat
ing failure. When they should call Gov
ernor Thayer and ask him If he had any
knowledge of a prlcale understanding
whereby Hill was not to sign the bond , what
would his answer be ? It could be easily an
ticipated.
Reverting again to the details of the bond
In question. Judge Wakeley read a decision
to the effect that a note reading , "I , J. S. ,
promise to pay , etc. , " was as binding as one
written , "I promise to pay , etc. , " and signed
"J. S. "
Judge Wakeley completed his argument
upon the validity of Hill's bond , and the
court adjourned unlll Monday afternoon.
