Dexvkr. Col.. May -7. —Oov. Waite,
who does not hesitate to declare that
his sympathies tire with the striking
miners at Cripple < reek, asked Attor-
ney-General Engley last night for an
opinion as to the right of a sheriff to
obtain an armed force from another
county than that in which he is an
officer.
The attorney-general returned a
written opinion yesterday:
That the organization «if urm -<l fori< f nu n

conspiracy to do an unlawful act. and the dep-
utizing of such men to act as deputy sheriffs bv
the sheriff of El i'aso county is a violation of |
the law.
In case El Paso count v uses the armed force,
as deputy sheriffs or as a posse cornitatus and
a riot or insun ; t, precipitated by reasoa
thereof and said armed f• >r<-.- acts Independ-
ently of said sheriff, and a riot or insurrection

ers the chief executive of the state should pre-
serve the peace of the commonwealth, even if
It should become necessary to call out the en-
tire nillitary force of the if th< peace

said armed forces, should !>•• summarily dealt
with, that the dignity of the state may he main-
tained inviolate.
All commandants of military posts
throughout the state have been noti-
fied to hold themselves in readiness for
an active service call.
Oov. Waite said: It is my duty to
stop this row. I shall probably issue a
proclamation calling on all armed citi-
zens to resume their daily avocations
and upon all lawless bodies to disperse.
Those men from Denver who arc under
arms at Cripple Creek arc. to my mind,
rioteisand an illegal body. In direct-
ing all illegal bodies to disperse, those
deputies must take cognizance of the
warning just as must any and all other
bodies.'"
At the sheriff's office in this county
the governor's proclamation is regarded
with more dread than the possibility
of a conflict with the miners. "Sheriff
Bowers will not disperse his men, if he
is the man I think he is," said Sheriff
Burchinell, "at least I would not do it.
The governor may entertain an an-
archistic view of the laws of Colorado, |
but as a sheriff. 1 believe I can deputize |
men regardless of where they come |
from or belong."
It has been learned that large quan-
tities of arms and ammunition have
been shipped from Denver to the Crip-
ple Creek strikers during1 the past
week. Two consignments consisted
each of 800 guns and .'•< .ooo rounds of
ball cartridges.
The Cripple Creek mine owners, who
have determined to reopen their mines
under the protection of armed guards,
are engaging men in this city and else-
where to work at the rate of $.'$ per day
of nine hours. About thirty common-
wealers hired in this city left for Flor-
ence on the morning train under charge
of ex-Adjt.-CJen. Kennedy. It is said
several hundred quarryinen and coal
miners have been engaged at Pueblo,
Colorado Springs and other places who
will be shipped to the mines to-day.
werk any mex blown up?
Cripple Cheek. Col., May 'J?.—Sensa-
tional reports were current here last
night that eleven men had been killed
by the explosions of giant powder in
the Strong mine on llattle mountain
yesterday, but members of the miners'
union positively deny that they com-
mitted murder. They declare that be-
fore they applied light to the fuse they
took precautions to see that all the
miners had left the shaft.
The most reliable story of the explo-
sion is as follows: During the early
morning hours yesterday everything
seemed quiet a( Victor, but men were
grave with apprehension. At o'clock
a rifle shot, followed by n fusillade, at-
tracted attention to Hull Hill, and the
whole side of the mountain was seen to
be covered with miners running toward
the Strong mine. The tracklayers at
work on the Florence & Cripple Creek
road dropped their tools and took to
their heels and people could be seen
fleeing in every direction. With a shout
a dozen men ran all through the Strong
shaft and ore houses. Two miners
were then seen to emerge from the In-
dependence mine powder house, each
carrying a fifty-pound box of giant
• i h« abaft house. A fmia
vas stretched a distance of ." o feet and
ignited. There was a silence lasting
probably four minutes. Then came a
loud report and thousands of pieces
of lumber and chunks of iron fell in
every direction. A triumphant yell
from the miners signified their satis-
faction. A hurried consultation waA
held. Then two more boxes were pro-
duced. a fuse attached and the ex-
plosive was lowered into the shaft.
Another silence, a trembling of the
earth, a cloud of dust and pieces of
debris hurled a hundred feet into the
air. a deep muffled roar and the work
was done. The small ore house and
waste lumber of the shaft house was
tired and reduced to ashes.
About midnight the strikers seized
an engine and cars at Victor and went
to Wilbur, 10 miles down the Florence
Si Cripple Creek railroad, where the
Denver deputies were encamped. It is
reported that at 4 o'clock the strikers
and the outpost of the deputies '
changed shots, and (Jeorge Crowley, a
miner was killed and three injured,
while several deputies were wounded.
As the wires have been cut, particulars
have not been obtained.
A non-union miner was shot and
killed in a saloon at Victor at 7 o'clock
this morning.
Charles O'Neill, a painter of St. Louis,
fell a distance of 00 feet and wascrusL&d
to death.
A TItAIN DITCHED.
Tie* Placed on the Track and a Freight
\v recked.
La Salle. 111.. May *J7.—While an
Illinois Central freight train was run-
ning toward Chicago at 10 o'clock last
night, it was ditched at Oglesby coal :
incline, just a few miles south of here,
by an obstruction on the track. The
engineer said that when he crashed
into the obstruction he saw a half dozen
men run away from the tracks. While
the train men were jacking up the first
set of trucks of the locomotive they
wefe fired upon from the neighboring
forests.
Militia was sent to the scene and it
was found that the strikers had piled
railroad tics on the track. It is be-
lieved that they intended to wreck not
the freight,which was an extra, but the
fast night express. The Belgian, Polish
and Russian strikers across the river
have assumed a hostile attitude toward
the Illinois Central road, for the reason
that it has been using coal from the
dumps of the LaSalle shaft. News of
the wreck spread rapidly among the
strikers in this city. The police made
a determined effort to break up the
groups in the street, but they were
scarcely successful.
TIIE WEEK'S TRADE.
Dun's Review Shows That Prices Are Still
Tending Downward.
New Yokk. May 27.—11. 0. Dun <fc
Co.'s weekly review says:
Storms and floods, prolonged strikes and
lar^e exports of gold have done their utmost
this week to give business a vacation. Hut the
wants unsatislied during the past year, belated
and much lessened, aild yet greater than those
of any other natiou. have caused a volume of
trade quite large for the season.
Prices of products still tend downward, with-
out much speculation. It is not surprising that
farmers retain wheat at present prices where
they can. Corn has been stronger, notwith-
standing large receipts and insignifi-
cant exports. Cotton has recovered a
shade. to 7^ cents, though receipts
for the week were nearly as large as last year,
and exports much smaller. Pork products all
declined with heavy receipts, and coffee is also
lower. The astonishing cheapness of wheat
and cotton will affect the rapidity of move-
ment In the fall, and also will directly lessen
the amount of money required la moving the
crops.
Failures diminish in importance, the amount
of liabilities for the third week in May being
only i-'.-lH.lSy, and for three weeks f7 HM.'iT.'
of which ti ft42,W7 were of manufacturing and
is.o'jn.oot of trading concerns. The number of
failures reported this week Is 183 In the United
States, against 258 last year, and in Canada 2*.
against 14 last year. There are not noted any
of much importance.
MISS MEANS EXPELLED.
The Southern Presbyterian Assembly Sus-
tains the Synod Regarding Sunday La-
bor.
Nashville. Tenn., May 27.—The
committee on foreign missions report-
ed before the Southern Presbyterian
assembly yesterday. Contributions for
the year were larger than the year pre-
vious, and the mission board has a stir-
plus of nearly S 10.000. There are HO
missionaries in the tielil and I'm native
preachers and 600 communicants have
been added to the church. It was rec-
ommended that no action be taken as
to co-operation in the missionary work.
The appeal from the decision of the
synod recommending that Miss Means,
who is employed on Sunday in the
Charleston telephone exchange, be ex-
pelled from the church for such Sun*
day labor, was not sustained.

caption, W hat Shali We I)o to lie
Saved i with Our Families) from Star-
vation' an anonymous committee
of shop hands of the Atchison, Topeka
A Santa Fe Kailroad Co. has made
public a political address. It is in- j
scribed to "Fellow workmen of the
Santa Fe shops," but is really intended |
to appeal to lalstrers of all classes in
the state. It begins with the statement
that although employers of labor repeat I
da\ after day that there is employment
in the country for all who will work,
there is really no work for the unem-
ployed It declare#that notwithstand-
ing Treasurer Wilder's publication in
the newspapers condemning the Coxey
movement and holding that there
is plenty of work, shop hands
in the service of his own company
have been discharged, and those who
are still on the pay roll have been
cut to forty hours at average wages of
thirteen cents an hour. Only the men
are discharged or have their wages re-
duced; officers never. This, the ad-
dress charges, is the result of "the pro-
tection to the American laborer that
we have been whooping it up for all
the past years when we voted the re-
publican ticket for any and every one
that the bosses put in nomination."
Laborers are urged to say something
in politics for themselves, but the three
parties of Kansas are charged with be-
ing in the hands of the corporations
and their records and acts are cited in
proof of the statement. To insure the
safety of the railroads it is charged
that the roads will furnish tickets to
delegates to the populist state conven-
tion in order that the renomination of
the present state officers may be as-
sured, so that whether the successful
party be populist or republican the
roads will be protected.
An appeal is made to the mine work-
er- the Federation of Labor and the
Knights of Labor to get together and
call a laborers' convention, inviting
also the Farmers' Alliance, and nomi-
nate a statu ticket, and the address
concluded as follows:
Hut have we enough sense to do it? Ask your-
sc.f this question, and if you think you have,
and your family are nearly enough starved
that you can depend on your brain-, and your
manhood, and will not be led off during the cam-
paign to chase after fife and drum to whoop it
up for McKlnley and Protection to the Amer-
ican Laborer, when the republican bosses
briny him hen or to wear a tin rooster In your
hat and hurrah for Cleveland and an honest dol-
lar at the command of the democratic bosses
in the heal of the campaign; or to be led by

er Todd to do anything to beat the republic-
ans" anil swallow the present state officers on
a populist ticket then use your influence upon
the o ill vers of the labor organizations to which
you belong not those officers, who to please
old party bosses, have accepted positions as
delegates to some of the old party state con-
ventions but the line officers of your
organizations who have the interests of all la-
borer.*- at heart and are not leading laborers
for tin sake of feathering their own ncst>.
Work upon your true officers and compel them
to issue a call for a state convention of the
laborers of this state, the wage toilers and the
farmers: adopt a platform that will advocate
your interests and nominate good men. tried
and true, for your candidates, and you will elect
c\cry one and Kansas will be redeemed and a
brighter day will dawn upon the toilers of this
state, freed from the grasp of corporation mo-
nopolies.

A STREAKED FAMILY.
Tl « Variously t.ifted Sous of tkc TmIIi
Earl of Kkuchan.
Sometimes a family resembles a loin
of beef in which a streak of fat alter-
nates w ith a streak of lean. The tenth
earl of Buchan had such a family. His
countess was a gifted and accomplished
woman. His eldest son, the eleventh
earl, was vain and eccentric, but not
remarkable for mental ability. One of
the younger sons was Thomas Erskine,
the most eloquent advocate of his day
at the Knglish bar, and subsequently
lord chancellor. Another son was
Henry Erskine. the wittiest man in
Scotland and the dean of the faculty
of advocates. A short time after he
had succeeded to the earldom, the
eldest son said to the witty duchess of
Gordon: "I belong to a talented family,
madam."
"Yea," answered the duchess, "and
1 suppose the talent has come from the
mother, since it has been settled on the
younger brunches."
Henry Erskiue's wife had a passiou
for putting things to rights. She
would ramble about the house at night,
examining the family wardrobe to see
if every garment was iu its proper
place. Once, iu her midnight search,
she could not find a certain article of
clothing belonging to her husband.
About three o'clock in the morning she
awoke him with the question, shouted
into his ear: "Harry, lovie, whar'syour
white waistcoat?"
Henry's eldest brother, the earl,
aimed at being a philosopher, a poet
and a humorist, and missed the mark
in all of his aims. One day while
Henry was sitting in the parlor the
earl stuck his head in just under the
lock, and exclaimed:
"See, Harry, here's 'Locke on the
Human Cnderstanding.'"
"Rather a poor edition, Dugald." re-
torted the witty brother.
Thomas Erskine, the lord chancellor,
did not begin the study of law until he
was twenty-five years of age. The
poverty and penuriousness of his fa-
ther forced him, while a boy, to enter
the royal navy as a midshipman.
After a sea service of four years the
death of his father gave him a sufficient
sum of money to purchase a commis-
sion in the army, for he detested the
navy. Stationed at Minorca, he em-
ployed his leisure time in studying
Knglish literature, thereby acquiring
that volubility and eloquence of ex-
pression which made him, subsequent-
ly, the eloquent advocate.
In London he met the chief justice
of England, Lord Mansfield. The con-
versation with the great lawyer deter-
mined Erskine to study law. He was
so poor as to live on "cow-heel anil
tripe" while prosecuting his studies.
Being a student of Trinity college,
Cambridge—for he had to receive a uni-
versity degree before he could be ad-
mitted to the bar—he used to appear
in the dining-hall with a student's
black gown over his scarlet uniform,
as he had not a decent suit of plain
clothes to put on.
The stimulus of poverty made him an
advocate. He had married long before
his admission to the bar, and he con-
fessed that in his first case he would
have failed, so embarrassed was he in
addressing the court, had he not felt
his wife anil children tugging at his
gown.
What we may dislike may, if we take
dutifully to it. aid us to do well what
we like. Krskine's first clients were
officers of the navy, from which he had
resigned in disgust. His connection
with the service supplied him with the
special information he needed to make
his pleas successful.
One of his clients sent him two five-
hundred-pound notes. The attorneys
flocked round him after his first
speech, shoving their retainers into
his hands. Before quitting the court
he had been retained in sixty-five cases.
Within four years he had paid his
debts and laid up forty thousand dol-
lars.
Short Sentences.
The little wheel must turn faster
than the large wheel in order to make
the same pace.
The life of happiness is still hope,
for on the summit of the highest hap-
piness is the hope of one yet higher.
Like a nettle fastened in the smock
Is that irretrievably faulty one of kith
who has virtues which cannot be denied
and generosities which will not be re-
pulsed.
There is a balance in nature which
might be called a recompense. The
repose is in proportion to the weari-
ness, the flow has its reflux, and the
mental scale dips equally with its
weight of pleasure or pain.
Ask not a prophet where he obtained
his authority, or a reformer his delega-
tion. The word was putin the mouth,
the handle of the plowshare was placed
in the hand, and upon the shoulders
was laid the burden of the world.—

Just What lie Needed.
An old woman of a thrifty turn of
mind lives in a village far away from
any town. Some time ago her husband
lay very ill and the doctor had said he
had not more than a week to live. The
old lady had to go to town to have her
husband's medicine made up, and
thinking it would save her a second
long journey, she took the opportunity
of buying the cake nnd wine for the
apparently inevitable funeral. On her
return home the dying husband inter-
rogated her thus: "What did ye get in
th' toon, 'umman?" "I got yer medi-
cine made tip." "An' what cise?" in-
quired the invalid. "Weel," hesitut
ingly, "as it's sac far to toon, I tliocht
1 miclit as weel buy the cake and wine
for the funeral." "(lie's a taste, lass."
She cut a piece of cake and gave him n
glass of wine. He liked them so -Ii
that he asked for more, and finally
consuming all the cake and wine he-
recovered.—Scotchman.

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
Washington-. May 27.—Civil Service :
Commissioner Roosevelt has sent to
Chairman De Forest, of the house com-
mittee on reform in the civil service, a
letter containing a reply to attacks on
the commission made by Congressman
Pendleton, Enloe, Stockdale and Wil-
liams. During the recent debate in
the house Mr. Pendleton is quoted as
saying that the commission is so or-
ganized that only the members of one
political party have hny opportunity
of standing a fair examination, and Mr.
Enloe in the same connection said that
he understix>d that nearly all of tin-
clerical force connected with the com-
mission are republicans, and that they
mark the papers and pass upon the ex-
aminations of candidates. Mr. Roose-
velt denounces the statements as un- j
true, and suggests an investigation.
