Sheridan the famous orator will addreBB the people of the city tomorrow evening at the opera house. He is a republican and speaks of honest, intelligent and patriotic government as viewed from that standpoint; but this does not affect the fact that what he has to say will be found interesting and in structive to republicans, democrats and people's party people alike, as he is first of all a patriot and a lover of his country. Gen. Sheridan's addresses outside of the information which they convey, are always intensely interesting and pleasurable by reason of a god-given eloquence with which he is inspired. He was in Montana in the campaign of 1889 and many people will still remember how he moved them to tears or laughter at his will.

A special invitation is extended to the ladies to be present at tomorrow night's address. INDIGNANT MINERS. Union Colliers in France Viciously Attack a Manager. Paris, Aug. 16.

Bums is Interviewed but Says Very Little. He Denies the Shooting Despite the Identiflotion of Goldenbogen His Condition. Burns, the assassin of Maurice Higgins, was seen in the jail by a Missoulian reporter yesterday but bad little to say of the tragedy except to deny that he was the man. Burns says he came from Seattle Saturday night and bad formerly worked on the grade of the Great North em railroad in the Flathead at the camp of the Corey brothers. With this excep tion he had never been in Montana before.

He professed entire ignorance of the shooting and said that he had never seen either Paul Goldenbogen or Maurice Higgins. When asked where he bad been just previous to bis arrest he said in a saloon on Main street, and in reply to a question said that previous to that he had not been on the bridge. This is one lie direct to his credit as Sheriff Houston tracked him from the bridge to the saloon and from there to the place of arrest. A box of cartridges of 32 calibre was also found on the bridge, but Burns had thrown the pistol into the river. When asked how he ac counted for the fact that he had been so positively identified by eye witnesses of the affair, including one of the victims Burns said he could not account for it.

He knew he was in a bad fix, but knew nothing of the shooting. He also said that he was sober when arrested. is a small, thin featured man, with a pointed nose, rather red at the tip. His hair is a sort of dead brown, and he has a small, thin mustache. He says he is 27 years old.

He wore at the time of the shooting a pair of cheap trousers, dark gray in color, with a lighter stripe, and a black silk or sateen shirt. Wm. Lyons, the supposed partner of Burns, who was arrested soon after the shooting by J. M. Kennedy at a point some distance below the Bitter Boot railroad bridge, was also seen by a Missoulian reporter yesterday.

He says he knows nothing more of Bums than that he came in on the same train with him on Saturday. The two men fell in with each other at Arlee, and Lyons Bays' he met Burns several times on Sunday night, and from time to time took a drink with him. He was arrested by Police Officer Blindorf just before the shooting, charged with the theft of a ring. The ring was not found on him and he was released, with an admonition to get out of town at once. TheD, according to Lyons' own story, he returned to Front street just in time to see Maurice Higgins and Paul Goldenbogen lying in front of the Exchange saloon.

He Baw nothing of Burns at this time, Shortly afterwards, being quite drunk, he wandered down the Bitter Root railroad bridge, for the purpose of taking a Bleep. Lyons says he did not see Burns for some time previous to his own arrest till the next day at the hospital. Goldenbogen's condition continued favorable all day yesterday, but it is im possible to prophesy in advance the ter mination of his injuries. The case is a hard one to do anything with. The ball entered the left side after going through the muscles of the prm and penetrated to the lung as is ehown by a frequent coughing of blood.

Whether the ball A. 1, il wem hu me way mrougn tne lung it is impossible to determine, but Dr. Mc. UuIloMgh feels satisfied that it did not reach the right lung. The extraction of the ball is impossible first because it would necessitate a cutting open of some of the vital parts and second because its location can not be determined.

Fortun ately the recovery of the patient does not depend on getting the bullet out. It may remain in the body permanently and perhaps never give any trouble. Today and tomorrow will be the critical time for Guldenborgen and if he gets through these an unfavorable turn his chances for recovery will be good. He got along well all day yesterday despite a report which gained currency in the afternoon that he was failing rapidly. United Typotbetce, Toronto, August 16.

The Third Vice President Walter Webb of the New York Central is in the city, having been called here by the gravity of the situation and possibility of this great four track road being affected.

In conversation Mr, Webb said: "The strike has not extended to our road and we are not aware any of our men are anxious to join in the strike. The only danger we have felt is that our men might be forced from their posts by other strikers. From what I learn I think switchmen would have been driven from their posts last night had it not been for calling out of the military. All we ask is protection from outside violence. Buffalo, Aug.

Central switchmen are excited and will strike on the slight est provocation. It is reported that special agents of the Reading road are receiving men for Buffalo and over 250 have been Becured who will be sent at once to take the place of strikers. That road it is said, has determined to force the fighting and defeat the men at any codt.
