PROFESSIONAL CARDS. TWO IN ONE DAY. REBELLIOUS GIRLS. WHITECAP RAIDS. MINERS' STRIKE.

Serious Trouble Likely at the Alli-eon Mine Near Canonsburg. MAY SOONJDJOM. A Possibility That Congress Will Star Jail i Industrial Home at Cblllirothe, Mo. the Scene of a General Riot. Chillicothk, July 22.

The 6tate industrial school for girls in this city was the scene of rebellion and a general attempt to escape yesterda3 An incorrigible girl name Freye, sent here from St. Joseph, was the leader, and a smart one she proved to be. The girls at the time were in Marmaduke cottage, and were ordered by the governess to march to the school room, as is the daily custom. Thirteen of them refused to march, and defied the officers of the institution with chairs and whatever weapons they could lay their hands on. Officers Robinson and Smith were called in.

They made a brave attempt to restore order, but they soon became unpopular. They were beaten and bruised in the general fight that was going on, the young misses yelling like Comanche Indians all the time. The girls finally jumped out of the windows and attempted to escape. but they were speedily made prisoners. The real cause of the trouble is said to have been whisky.

A big force of hands is at work plumbing and making other improvements about the build- ngs, and one of the girls confessed that they had been drinking. MORE ALASKA GOLD. Klondyke Fortunes of Which the Publlo Has Not Yet Heard. San Francisco, July 22. The steam ship Umatilla, which arrived from uget sound ports, brought down al most 200,000 worth of Alaskan gold, of which 8133,700 was in gold dust from Seattle.

There were several other shipments of gold in sacks, some of which was shipped direct from Juneau; and advices from that place are to the effect that at least $750,000 worth of dust was awaiting shipment at various Alaskan stations. Among the sensational advices received was one from St. Michael's to the effect that over $4,000,000 in gold dust, which had not been included with the fortunes brought here by miners, will be shipped here, other lucky miners laving reached the island since the departure of the Excelsior and Port- and who have secured greater fortunes individually than those whose stories have already been told. Although the capacity of the steamer Portland, which sails to-day for St. Michael's, and the Excelsior, which sails on the 2Sth, is limited to about 110 passengers, over 1,000 applications have been made for berths.

Most of the disappointed ones are making arrangements to travel hence to Tacoma by rail and secure passage on the Mexico and Topeka, whieh sail thence next week, but many must inevitably wait until next spring, and their disappointment is sore. A GOOD INDICATION. Gold Is Being Deposited In Sub-Treasuries in Exchange for Small Notes. Washington, July 22. Business throughout the country is booming ac cording to reports received at the treasury department.

The demand for small notes, an excellent indication of cash sales, is still increasing. Near- all the calls are for $5 bills. It is a remarkable fact that gold is being deposited in the sub-treasuries in exchange for silver certificates. Mer chants and others who make the demand say they do not care what sort of money they get, as they want it to put in circulation and not to hoard. For that reason silver certificates are quite as desirable as notes redeemable in gold.

The treasury department has taken time by the forelock, and a large quantity of small bills sufficient to last for a long time is being printed. GOLD DEMOCRATS CONFER. Arrangements Perfected to Push the Cam paigns In Iowa, Ohio and Kentucky. New York, July 22. Gold democrats from all over the country gathered to day to attend a special meeting of the executive committee of the national committee of the national democratic party this afternoon at the office of Chairman William D.

Bynum. Among those present was L. C. Krauthoff, of Kansas City, Mo. In tne morning there was an informal conference with gold democrats of New York and New Jersey.

At the executive session plans were matured for continuing the cam paign of education. The principal points of attack in sight are Ohio, Kentucky and Iowa. LTAN GIVES WAY. The Will of the Powers In Regard to Thes- saly Finally Heeded. Constantinople, Julv 22.

This was the result of the determined attitude of the powers in regard to the demands of Turkey and means that Thessaly will continue to be a part of Greece. Iron Mountain Shops Working Full Time. St. Lons, July 22.

For the first time in four years full time is being worked at the Iron Mountain railroad shops at De Soto, Mo. Full time is ten hours a day for six days a week. Dunn? the past lour years tne men have only worked from 40 to 48 hours per week as a rale. For a few weeks once or twice during this period they have worked 54 hours a week, but never above that.

S. L. Vaughn, 60 years of age. The neighborhood was aroused and chase given after the negro, who took to the woods. The negro's fiendish attempt and the insolence of other negroes, several hundred in number, incensed the white workmen and they determined to run the blacks out of town.

There were several fights between the negroes and whites and one white man was seriously cut. The negro who caused the rioting was captured. He was identified by Mrs. Vaughn and he is now probably swinging from a convenient limb between Riverton and Cherokee. Yesterday morning officers started for Tuscumbia for him.

An armed company started after the officers, swearing that they would hang the negro before he could be taken five miles. They undoubtedly carried out their threats. New Iberia, July 22. At Baldwin, in St. Mary's parish, a negro, Jack Davis, alias Buddy Jack, was hung by the aroused citizens of the town for criminally assaulting Widow Marcol, who had had been during the early hours of the morning at the house of Dr.

Pecot, living near Scran-ton. The fiend waylaid the lady and brutally struggled with her to consummate his purpose.

GANGS OF TRAMPS BECOME BOLD. They Board Trains in Nebraska and Defy the Crews to Collect Horrible Case of Destitution "I'll Shoot My Fool Self." Little Rock, July 22. The people of Randolph and Lawrence counties, this state, are terribly wrought up over outrages committed by a band of lawless whitecaps, or ku-klux, as they style themselves. The depredations have been going on for a month or six weeks past, and particulars of the most infamous treatment yet visited upon a citizen of that section reached here yesterday. The whitecaps make no distinction as to whom they shall visit their seeming wrath upon men, women and even children being dragged from their beds at dead of night and flogged unmercifully.

To-day's report comes from Pocahontas, Randolph county, and says that Tuesday night the ku-klux took a lone widow from her home, just across the line in Lawrence county, and whipped her to death. In one case a man and wife are said to have been tied to a tree and whipped because they refused to send their daughter to a public school. A few nights ago they visited the home of Newton Gray, a respected farmer. of Lawrence county, and carried him off, and nothing has been heard from him since. The mob has been operating in the Rich woods settlement for the last week, and, it is said, has the people of that section frightened almost to death.

gangs of tramps become bold. Omaha, July 22. Numerous gangs of tramps in Nebraska have become so bold that municipal authorities are powerless; trains are boarded and the crews defied to collect, and other lawless acts are committed; but the climax was reached yesterday when a freight train that left here on the Omaha road in the morning was held up at Tekamah by a gang of the tramps, just as it was pulling into the yards at the south end of town. As the train slowed up at the switch a band of men, 50 in number, rushed out from a lumber yard. Some of these men boarded the engine, while others climbed into the caboose and upon the box carsl One man, who seemed to be the leader of the gang, demanded of the conductor that the train be run on through the town.

This the conductor refused to. do, whereupon the tramps took complete possession, but they were unable to move the engine, the engineer having exhausted the water. It is said that the tramps are not inclined to do any damage to the railroad property, simply demanding that they be carried to the end of the line. They say that they are laboring men, trying to reach the Minnesota harvest fields. HORRIBLE CASE OF DESTITUTION.

Little Rock, July 22. A most horrible and terribly pitiful case of destitution came to light at Fort Smith yesterday when the emaciated form of Mrs. John Hauer was discovered almost under the eaves of the county jail, lying stretched out in a little hut she called her home. Her form was covered with fragments of an old quilt as her only cover, while she rested upon an old, wornout mattress. Her body was almost naked and parched with a high fever.

In another part of the room lay cold in death her two children, one six months, the other four years old. The babies had died from starvation. On further investigation Mrs. Hauer's mother, Mrs. Mary Jordan, and three other children were found to be all sick from lack of food.

The citizens took charge of the case and removed Mrs. Hauer to the hospital. She will probably die. "i'll shoot my fool self." Kansas City, July 22. Everett Shaw, a young man 20 years of age, shot and killed himself at the fruit farm of nolsinger a mile south of Rosedale, last evening about nine o'clock.

Young Shaw had, with his two brothers and his father, been em ployed by Holsinger brothers on the farm. Shaw was addicted to the use of cigarettes, which may or may not have had to do with his dearth. With his brothers he had been playing cards early in the evening, and when they arose to go to bed Everett took from his pockets a 32-caliber revolver, which he habitually carried, and said: "I believe I'll shoot a star." He paused a moment with the revolver in his hand, and then calmly remarking, "No, I guess I'll shoot my fool self," he placed the gun to his temple and fired. Death was almost instantaneous. GOLD IN MISSOURI.

filontgomery County Puts In a Claim to Attract Wealth Seekers. Columbia, July 22. Gold has been discovered in Montgomery county. Dr. G.

A. Broadhead, geologist of Missouri university, who has been in communication with M. A. Bibb, near ew Florence, in that county, stated that Mr. Bibb had sent him several specimens of ore found at that place, and when analyzed it proved to contain a large per cent, of gold.

The gold was discovered by Bibb on the banks of Dry Fork creek near New Florence and from indications it appears as if a rich vein had been struck. Wednesday's Baseball Games.

MAY VOTE ON THE TARIFF FRIDAY. A Resolution Passed In the House for an Investigation into the Restrictions Placed on Foreign Sales of American Tobacco. Washington, July 22. When the senate adjourned yesterday, the under standing was general that the final vote would be taken on the conference report on the tariff bill not later than Friday, but there was no formal agreement to this effect. Both Senators Jones and White, who have been lead ing- the opposition to the bill on behalf of the democrats, expressed the opinion that the vote would not be postponed beyond this time.

Senator Allison also stated that, while he still considered a vote possible to-day, he felt very confident that it would not be postponed beyond Friday. In the event of a vote on the tariff Friday, final adjournment is generally predicted for Saturday. The senate concluded the formal reading of the conference report yesterday. The debate was spiritless in the main. Early in the day Mr.

Jones, of Arkansas, made a contest against the conference committee on the ground that it had exceeded its au thority in so amending the paragraph relating to printing paper as to place a retaliatory duty against the coun-. tries paying export bounty on wood pulp, llis point of order was debated at much length and finally overruled by Vice President Hobart. On hides, Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, asked why the "Conferees had provided drawback of duty on leather ex ported, made from imported hides. Mr.

Aldrich explained that the house had insisted on the proviso, and he felt that the drawback was payable under the law without reference to the provision. He thought that about $500,000 to $750,000 of revenue would be obtained from the duty on hides, and probably about half of this would be paid in drawbacks. Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, spoke against the bill as a whole and incidentally referred to the present coal strike, contrasting it with the promises of prosperity. Mr.

Teller and Mr. Vest criticised the hide amendment, the former saying that the drawback clause was in the interest of eastern manufacturers, as the western tanners, who did not export leather, were getting no drawback. The conference amendment omitting from the free list scientific books and periodicals brought out a sarcastic speech from Mr. Vest. The reciprocity amendment occa sioned lengthy debate.

Mr. Teller inquired why the president had been re stricted to two years in making reci procity treaties. Mr. Allison explained that it was desired to have our com mercial relations definitely established within a reasonable time. It was be lieved "this could be accomplished within two vears.

Mr. White criticized the provision that reciprocity treaties shall be approved by congress. Congress had the power to raise or lower duties without waiting to approve a treaty, and he declared that this provision would arouse criticism on the mental ability of the cs-ngress enacting it. Mr. Allison explained that congress had no means of negotiating with foreign governments, so that a treaty was essential before any reciprocal plan of tariff reduction could be executed.

The conference amendment striking out the senate provision for a stamp tax on bonds and stocks also led to discussion. In answer to inquiries, Mr. Allison said the point had been raised that an excise tax must be levied on a class of articles as a whole, while the senate amendment expressly excepted bonds of building associations and other classes of bonds. This objection was felt to be well taken, and the bond provision was abandoned. The formal reading of the confer ence report was completed at o'clock, and the senate at once went into executive session, ad journing soon after.

the house. Washington, July 22. When the house met yesterday Mr. Evans, of Kentucky, from the committee on ways and means, reported a joint resolution, which- was passed, requesting the president to make such investigar tions as will elicit all the facts in ref erence to the restrictions put upon the sale of American tobacco in foreign countries under what is known as the "regie," or government contracts. It also authorizes the president to enter into negotiations with governments of those countries with a view to obtaining a modification of these restrictions.

Mr. Linney, of North Carolina, yesterday introduced a bill to reduce the tax on distilled spirits to 70 cents a gallon. Mr. Perkins, of Iowa, called up a resolution for printing copies of the house digest. This served as an opportunity for Mr.

Simpson, of Kansas, to criticise the mode of procedure in the house, in the midst of which Dingley moved an adjournment till to-day, which was carried, 153-114. Missouri Dentists Not Registered. Clinton, July 22. X)nly about 150 out of over 800 Missouri dentists have thus far complied with the new law, which orders them to file with the state dental board their certificate of registration.

Trouble, and much of it, seems to be be in store at the Allison mine, three miles west of Canonsburg. The men want to go to work, but are afraid. They fear an invasion of the strikers, and do not want to be targets for a mob that is liable at any moment to lose control of itself. Last night everything was quiet about the mines, and the citizens of Canonsburg were awaiting the arrival of the invaders. It was the intention of the strikers to begin their march to Canonsburg last night, but a telegram from Bridge vi He announced that, owing to the heavy rains of the previous evening it was decided to postpone the trip until to-day.

The men are fully determined to carry out their threats of making the march. They expect to start with 600 men, and be reinforced with about the same number from Uridgeville and Tom's Run. The men will start with several days' rations and expect to be in shape to watch the offending mines for several days. The expected meeting of the board of arbitration did not take place last night, the western members not reaching the city. As soon as they arrive arrangements will be made-for a general meeting of the operators.

The situation among the strikers in this district is practically unchanged. The suspension is complete, with the exception of De Armit's mines, and though considerable destitution and suffering is reported among the strikers and their families, the determination to fight it out is apparently as strong as on the first day of the strike. SITUATION IX WEST VIRGINIA. Wheeling, W. July 22.

There is little change in the local coal mining strike. Some of the miners, who struck at the Glendale works Tuesday afternoon returned to work yesterday morning rattier unexpectedly. They are engaged in mining coal for the engines of the Baltimore Ohio and Ohio river roads. But for this partial resumption at Glendale, the Ohio river road would have been greatly incom-venienced. There is no change in the situation at Dillonvale.

There will be a demonstration by the miners of this city and vicinity to-day for the purpose of inducing the men at the Boggs Run mines to join the strike. Employes of five companies will form in line and march to the Boggs Run mines with a brass band. The Glendale men, who are working, will offer to quit work entirely to induce the Boggs Run employes to join in the sympathetic strike. A Kenova, W. dispatch says that 100 negroes who have been employed grading on the double track for the Chesapeake Ohio railroad left yester- terday for Elkhorn to work in the coal and ceke fields.

Yesterday was a busy day along the Norfolk Western rail road, the shipments being nearly as large as Tuesday. Not over 200 miners are out in the Flat Top field and they have signified their intention of re turning to work. The miners have apparently quit talking strike in these fields and seem pleased with the sur roundings. STRIKERS SEIZE A TRAIN. Peoria, 111., July 22.

Fifty striking miners at uarmingion seizea a liur-lington freight train at 11 o'clock yes- terdav moraine demanding that it carry them to Dunfermline, where they intended to call out the 25C miners at work, tneir wages naving been increased three per cent. They refused to pay or get off and held the train till three o'clock, when the con ductor cut off the engine and ran to Canton, returning with the sheriff and the state's attorney. They argued with the men and the latter finally abandoned the train, after holding it five hours. The Peoria countv miners are threatening to march across coun try to Dunfermline to-day to force the men out. The managers of the mines saj- the men want to keep at work and are preparing for trouble.

EMBARGO LAID ON COAL. Fairmount, W. July 22. The most important development of the past 24 hours was the embargo lard by the Baltimore Ohio railroad on all West Virginia coal. Orders were issued to hold all coal at junction points, as the railroad wanted to keep a ten days' suddIv always on hand.

THEY ARE SUSPICIOUS. Colorado Miners Fear Alaska Gold Stories Are Inspired by Transportation Companies. Denver, July 22. Colorado seems to be the only part of the country where there is no sign of excitement over the reported rich findings ot the Klondyke district in Alaska. Advices from Cripple Creek, Leadville and Aspen, the leading camps of tha state, are unanimous in the verdict that miners will wait for more reliable information before venturing into the northern region on the verge of a winter.

Many of tha camps have from the first had representatives in Alaska, and since they have not heard from them of the wonderful finds across the Canadian boundary they are chary of accepting tha statements that are ooming from tha northwest. They are inclined to suspect the boom is the work of the transportation companies, in league with, the commercial concerns that have control of the provisions supply, and will not go in before next year. WANTS BUTLER OUSTED. Tom Watson Says the Populist National Chairman Should He Put Out. Atlanta, July 22.

In the people's party paper this week, Thomas E. Watson calls on Senator Marion Butler to resign the national chairmanship the people's party. He says: With Butler at the head of our host the host is not going ta maroh. We have had enough of Butler a4 of Butlerism. He has deceived us ante' is deceiving us now.

He is in collusion wjtta our foes, Just as Allen is. We cannot fight fusion with a fusionisi in command. There is no sense in trying it. This party is entitled to a chairman who is in sympathy with its policy as declared at Nashville. Populism cannot go to success unless a populist leads it a leader who puts principles above the olttces, and who realizes the deadly mistake of putting our party into corrupt bargainings for offlee with its oss.
