THE LYTTLE MINE BATTLE.
Another Victim “'ho Was Hunted Like a

Is Dead—Indiana Troops and
‘ Strikers Fight.
SHELBI‘nx, Ind, June 8.—-About 1
o’clock this morning several drunken men‘
approached the picket line around the 90
militiamen stationed at Farmersburg and
taunted the guards. One man attempted
to pass through the line and washrought
to a halt. The. intruder hurled a brick at
the guard, and the latter opened fire. This
was the signal for a general fusillatlc of
stones and tiring by the guards. Forty CI
fifty shots were fired in quit k succession.
Colonel Ebcl of Terra I“ ante, in command
of the three CC::=panics, called to arms all
his men, but th.‘ 3' were unable to run down
the attacking party, not one being found.
The firing caused great cr-zcitcmcnt.
A. general alarm was sounded, and Com-
panies I) of 'v‘Cashington, A of Indianapo—
lis, and the Second regiment of Indianap-
olis, under Colonel Bose, \i'tI‘S 01(131‘8d to
Farmersburg on the double quick. Three
companies under Major Pennington were
ordered out to skirmish between this place
and Farmersburg. it was feared that there
might be a general attack made on the
small force. No strikers were overhauled
on the way up. All the. troops remaining
here were held on the reserve until 4
o’clock, when a message to General Mo-
Kee from Colonel Ebcl, at. Farmersburg,
announced that there seemed to be no more
danger. The Si}; companies sent forward
returned here at 5:45 this morning.
The Strike at McKecsport.
MCKEESPORT, Pa, June 8.——A com-
paratively quiet night was passed, but
with the rising of the sun the tube works
strikers, refreshed by a good night’s rest,
poured from theirhomes, and soon the
streets were filled with idle people despite
the numerous proclamations of Sheriff
Richards and the mayor of the city.
The largcst gatherings were about the
works and depots, the strikers still fearing
that the firm would attempt to operate the

To Storm Bull Hill.
CnIPrLE Cur-zen, 0010., June 8.-—-A lo-
cal newspaper publishes today interviews
with Under Sheriff Mullins and County
. Commissioner Boynton, who are in charm
I
oftthb _U-l"l_lly «f l,£'u‘;0~iicputres, camped
within sight, of Bull Hill. Mullins de-
clares i ' is the intention to storm Bull Hill
regardless of conseqm-nces.‘ Commissioner
Boynton is even more emphatic. He de-
clared that neither Governor Waite nor
any other man had. any right to arbitrate
out of the law. There were men on Bull
Hill guilty of grave crimes, for whose ar-
rests they had warrants. These men
would be arrested at all hazards. Ho al-
lowed that in doing this many lives would
be placed in jeopardy. Nevertheless the
county had gone to great expense in mass-
ing a. large force to vindicate the law, and
this was not the time for hesitation. It is
consoled that the deputies are safe from
attack so 1 ing as they attempt no offen-
sive movement. 3 is raining here and is
bitterly cold.
At 9:30 o‘clock today a skirmish took
place between the miners and deputies.
Over 300 shots were fired. During the
night the miners threw up intrenchmcnts
between Bull mountain and the deputies’
camp. Sixteen minors advanced on the
picket line of the deputies and secured
h‘OI'ses belonging to the cavalrymen. The
pickets cpcmd fire, but the miners drove
thorn back. immediately the full force of
deputies took up line of battle and gave
chase to the miners, who retreated with
the stolen horses.
A battle at long range followed. The
deputies got their parrott and got-ling guns
in position and fired several shots from
them.

Another Death at Lyitlc‘s llIine.
I-‘nor:I.\, Ills, .lunc S.-Thcrc is still the
Wildcat excitement throughout Peoria and
Tazcwcll counties, though no additional
troullc has recurred. Few of the strikers
have. today visittd Lyttlc’s coal mine,
where the deadly battle occurred yesterday
which resulted in the killing of John Jar-lb
son and Edward Bloom. Yilliam Dick-
son, the. colo:o.l man shot during the riot,
died today. His killing; was a most bru-
tal one. He was one of those in the tower 1
who surrendered. As soon as he reached
the ground the miners prepared to wreak
vengeance on him on recount of his color.
As the only means of protecting himself,
he started to run up over the hill and was
closely pursued by fully 50 of the strikers,
all firing at him. He was shot down and
left for dead. James Lyttlc, son of one of
the proprietors of the mine, is in a critical
condition. Peter Lyttle was much more
seriously injured than at first supposed.
Four buckshot took effect. Orders have
been issued to the police to bring in John
L. Gchr on the charge of riot and murder.
He acted as a leader of the srtikers and
carried a revolver. He was formerly a.
member of the legislature. Militia com-
panies from Linooln and Bloomington
have been ordered to Pekin in anticipation
of additional trouble.

THE LEXOTV INVESTIGATION.
Justice Roesch Denies That He Extortcd
Money From Mrs. Thurow.
NEW YORK, J unc 8.—Bcfore the chow
police investigating committee today J us—
tice George F. Roesch gave his version of
his alleged extortion of money from Mrs.
Thurow. He said:
“I have read the testimony of Mr. and
Mrs. Thurow, and that testimony so
far as it relates to the payment of any
money to me or for my use for the pur-
pose of securing police protection or for
the use of the Tammany club of my dis-
trict is false and untrue. I remember that
one night at the club Mr. Thurow came to
me and said his wife was in trouble and
wanted to see me. I told him to send her
to my office in the Stewart building. She
said that the police were pcrsecuting her,
and that Captain lloherty had put a man
in front of the hon -'c in First street, where
a. sailor was assaulted. She said she kept
a quiet house.
“I told her i was a. lawyer, and she
must pay me $100 if she wanted to consult
me. She took out the money and laid it
on the table. ”
Mr. Rocsch produced his ledger, and al-
though there was no date affixed the en-
try was, “)lrs. Thnrow, $100—legal serv-
ices. ” The witness explained that he
sometimes did not put down dates. “I re.
ceived the money as a retaining fee as a
lawyer. No money was ever sent to the
club, and no other money was ever paid to
me by Mrs. Thurow. ”
’IHE \VRECIi STORY A FAIiE.
No Truth In the Reported Destruction of
the Raymond Excursionists.
LIOXTREAL, Jun 8,—Clxarles P... Hos-
mer, manager of to egraphers of the Cana-
dian Pacific railway, denied the reported
accident to a Raymond-Whitcomb excur-
sion train on the Canadian Pacific rail-
way near Vancouver. He says the excur-
sion train is still at Field, B. 0.
He also says that there has been no ac-
cident of any kind on the Canadian Pacif-
ic trains. Neither has there been any loss
of life.

Roscbcry Longod to 3-15.: ry England's Rich-
est \Toman, to Be Premier and to

Done All Three.
LONDOZI, June 7,—The destiny which
Lord Roscbcry mapped out for himself
when at college has been fulfilled. I-le
wished to marry the richest girl in Eng-
land, to be prime mi :ister of England and
to wur the Derby. This was indeed am-
bition, but; Lord Rosc‘oery has carried out
his programme. He married Miss Hannah
dc Rothschild, England’s richest woman;
.
LADAS.
he is premier of England, and today he
won the world famous Epsom Derby with
his bay colt Lndas, the winner of the Two
Thousand Guineas on May 9 and the win-
ner of the Ncwniarkct stakes on May 23.
Matchbox was second and Reminder third.
The Derby, the grcatcst of all horse
races, is of 6,000 sovereigns, the winner to
receive 5,000 ($25,000); the nominator of
the winner 500 sovereigns, the owner of
the second 300 sovereigns and the owner
of the third 200 sovereigns out of the race.
The event is for 3-year-old colts to carry
nine stone, and fillies to carry eight stone
nine pounds. The entrance fee is 5 sover—
eigns. The distance is about a mile and
a half.
The starters and the betting were as fol-
lows: Lord _Rosebery’s colt Ladas, 11 to
4 on; Lord Alington’s Matchbox, 100 to 14
against; the Duke of Westminster’s Bul-
lingdon, S to 1; Mr. T. Carmen’s Remind-
er, 25 to 1; Lord Bradford’s Hornbeam, 50
to 1; Mr. Douglas Baird’s Galloping Dick,
50 to 1; Lord Scarbrough’s Clywd, 100 to 1.
Pedigree of Ladas.
Ladas is a. direct descendant of Whale-
bone, who won the Derby for the Duke of
Grafton, when the latter was prime min-
ister, in 1810. Ladas is .by Hampton, son
of Lord Clifdon, by N ewminster, whose
sire was Touchstone, by Camel, son of
Whalcbonc.
The Derby‘dates back to the year 1830,
when Count Derby established a. great
racing contest to be run annually at Ep-
som. This contest has been kept up with-
out interruption ever sincc. The first
Derby was won by Diomede, the property
of Sir Charles Bunbury, and this histora

PREMIER ROSEBERY.
lcal race has always been looked upon in
England as a national fete which is usual:
1y attended by about 100,000 people, who
journey to l-Zpsom Downs in. order to wit-
ness the great race. _
Semc idea of the importance of the race
may be judged from the fact that the house
of commons for many years past has ad-
journed in order to enable the members
to be present at the Derby. In 1892, how-
ever, the house refused to rise fer the day,
and this precedent was followed last year
not much business was transacted by the
house. -
Ladas won in a canter by a length and a
half in 2 minutes 45 4-5 seconds. Six
lengths separated the second horse, Match-
box, from the third, Reminder. A scene
of indescribable enthusiasm followed La-
das’ victory. When Lord Rosebery appear-
ed on the course in order to lead Ladas
back to the paddock, a strong force of po-
lice was hastily sent to the spot in order to
protect the premier from the pressure of
the crowds. As it was, the policemen had
all they would do to make way for the
triumphant favorites. There was another
tremendous outburst of enthusiasm as
Lord Rosebcry and Ladas entered the pad-
dock together. For today at least the most
popular man in England is the proud own-
er of Ladas, the winner of the Derby of
1984.

WASHINGTON, June 8.—A short debate
over the suit brought by the attorney gen-
eral against the Leland Stanford estatt
furnished slight diversion in the senate to-
day. At the opening of the session, under
the resolution adopted yesterday for a spe-
the United States, Vice President Steven-
son announced thc appointment of the fol-
lowing committee: Mr. Vilas (Wis. ) chair-
man, and Messrs. Blackburn (Ky. ), Smith
(N. J. ), Gallinger (N. H.) and Patton
(Mich. ).
The attendance was so slim that Mr.
Hoar (Rep, Mass.) suggested the absence
of a. quorum. A call of the roll brought 35
senators into the chamber and developed
the absence of 20 Republicans and 29 Demo
crats. Twenty minutes were spent await-
ing the coming of a. sufficient number of
delinquents to make up a quorum.
Under the call for resolutions and me-
morials Mr. Hoar introduced and asked
immediate consideration for a resolution
instructing the committee on judiciary to
inquire into the justice and equity of the
claim of the United States against the es-
tate of the late Leland Stanford of Cali-
fornia, and to report whether or not any
claim against such estate growing out of
the debt of the Central Pacific railroad
should i. .-.' bc relinquished and set at rest.
The smrord'nstate Debate.
, A very interesting debate grew out of it,
in the course of which high words of eulogy
were paid to the nobility of character of
the late senator frOm California. The
government, Mr. Hoar said, ought at once
to decide the question .of extinguishing
and putting this claim at rest. He did not
suppose, he sud, that any one seriously
supposed that the government had a claim
against the Stanford estate, and it was
proper that the judiciary committee should
inquire whether this alleged clgim was
founded on a technicality or. upon law and
equity. The great estate of. Leland Stan-
ford, Mr. Host said, had been devoted to
a noble public benefacticn. He had met
the late esteemed California senator in the
south of France when the disease which
terminated his life hung heavy upon him,
and Mr. Stanford had expressed to him
his feeling in regard to the disposition of
his vast property. He cared little fo.
churches or crecds, Mr. Hoar said, al-
though he had an abiding faith in the
Christian religion. '
Mr. Stanford loved his country and de-
sired cvery American citizen to enjoy the
comforts of life and an education. He
(Stanford) had expressed the hope that
partly through the agency of the StanfOrd
university, which he had 'founded, every
child (:1 the Pacific coast who desired
would receive a good education. Wheth-
er the United States has a claim or not,
said Mr. Hoar, it would require 12 or 1.5
years to establish it, If the government
had a claim of $15, 000, 000 that was only
20 cents apiece for the inhabitants of the
United States, to whom Mr. Stanford had
consecrated his large estate, and it ought
not to embarrass the closing years of his
Widow and cripple and perhaps destroy the
great gift he had made for the benefit of
the poor by seeking to press it.
An Unprecedented Resolution.
If there was any socialism that was no—
ble, Mr. Hoar went on feelingly, it was
the socialism that dedicated the wealth of
the rich to the education of the poor. He
maintained that the government of the
United States should immediately put at
rest this claim without in any way affect
ing claims against others, in order that
Mr. Stanford’s benefaetion might not be
embarrassed:
Mr. Blackburn (Dem., Ky.) expressed
his amazement at Mr. Hoar’s resolution.
So far as he knew, such a resolution was
Without precedent in either house of con-
gress. It directed the judiciary commit-
tee to inquire 'into the equities of a $15,
000, 000 claim asserted by the federal gov-
ermnent against the estate of a late citizen
of the United States. It went farther and
directed the committee to report Whether
such claim should berelinquished and set
at rest. Its unprecedented feature was
that it directed a committee of the senate
to inquire into and dispose of a claim al-
ready assertcd by the authorities of the
government for a debt due. No one, Mr.
Blackburn said, felt more. deeply than he
the public spirit manifested by his late as-
sociate in devoting somuch toeducational
purposes. But the real question was, Did
he own the estate or had he sought to di-
vert to this high purpose an estate that be-
longed to the United States? The attorney
general had already taken steps to deter-
mine this question, and it was the first
time he had ever heard of either house of
congress atempting to stay the hand of the
law officer of the government.
“I can cite numerous instances, ” inter-
jectcd. Mr. Hoar.
“Perhaps so,” replied ‘Mr. Blackburn,
“but not one that stands on all tours with
this one. ” ’
“Is this suit against the living as well
as the dead?” inquired Mr. Manderson. .
other Claims Must Be Abandoned.
“None of us,” responded Mr. Black-
burn, "kncw until yesterday that the at-
torney general had begun proceedings
against either the living or the dead.”
M r. Blackburn proceed: d to call attention
to what he considered a most important
feature of the resolution. While in ex-
pressed terms it only applied to the estate
of Leland Stanford, if the claim against
Mr. Sta:2:'ezu"s Estate \‘.'.:-.;-3 relinquished and
set at rc-a. the claims against Hopkins,
Crockcr um; Hunting-don must be released
also. ~ '

sarily follow. ‘1“: e r... Olution was one of
“pure inquiry. " 'e r-aim was like thru—

his duty to press. The poor children who
might be benefited by Stanford’s generos-
ity might grow up and die before it was

Chandler of Massachusetts as one that had
been quashed in this way. All this reso-
lution sought to ascertain was whether
this claim was just and clear. If it turned
out that it was doubtful, then, in his opin—
ion, this great charity should be released.
He had no criticism, he said in conclu-
sion, to make of the attorney general. He
was as just, able and upright a man as
ever presided over the department of jus-
tice. In this matter he had done nothing,-
but his legal duty.
“Are. we to undrrssazntl,” inquired Mr.
Voorhces. ' that this proceeding on the
part of the United States is an attempt tc
hold the estate of l.cl.='.i;l Stanford for the
mortgage the government holds against
the Central Pacific?"
“No,” replied Mr. Hoar; “it is a. pro-
ceeding under a. California statute on the

This dcfalcation, said Mr. Voorhccs,
was 25 years old, as he understood it. Ac
tion might have been brought against Mr.
Stanford when he was alive. That being
the. case, whether- thcro was precedent or
not, he thought this inquiry was proper.
For :23 years Leland Stanford had walked

Voorhees‘ Tribute to Stanford.
Mr. -Huntcn (Bern, Va.) interrupted
Mr. Voorhces to say that the Indiana sen
ator was laboring under a misapprehen-
sion as to the character of the proceeding
against the Stanford estate. It was to
prevent the distribution of the estate until
the debt fell due. '
“It may be that I am incorrect,” said
Mr. Voorlrees. “It may be that the senator
from Virginia is incorrect, but that is the
more reason why the inquiry should be
made. Before taking my seat I desire to
say,” said Mr. Voorhces, “that Leland
Stanford is the only very rich man I have
ever known whose Simplicity and sublim-
ity of character were not touched or de-
baSed by his wealth. His was thersame
simple, kindly. devoted nature that exists
elsewhere without the corroding influence
of wealth.”
The morning hour had'cxpircd while
this debate was in progress, and the reso-
lution went over without action. The tar-
iff bill was then taken up, the pending
plragraph being that placing a. duty of 20
per cent ad valorem on buckwheat, corn,
cornmeal, oats, rye, wheat and wheat
flour, except where imported from coun-
tries imposing no duty on like articles
from the United States, when they should
be admitted free. Mr. Carey (Wyn) took
the floor and delivered a speech in opposi-
tion to the general features of the bill.

Defeat of the State Bank Measure.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-—The banking
authorities of congress regard the defeat of
the state bank measure as profoundly sig-
nificant of the future of banking and our-
rency in the United States. It is said to
establish as a finality that state banks and
state bank currency will never be revived,
and that if any change is made from the
present system of national banks it will be
by a nationalized currency. Of the north-
ern Democrats, only eight voted to repeal
the restrictions on state banks—viz, Cali-
fornia, 2; Illinois, 1; Indiana, 1; Ohio, 1;
New York, 3. All the other northern
Democrats voted against repeal. Added to
this opposition was the solid Republican
vote, south as Well as north. Even the col-
ored Republican from South Carolina vot-
ed ugainst repeal. Many southern Demo-
crats also voted against repeal—viz, Mary-
land, 4; Delaware, 1; West Virginia, 2,
and Missouri, 2. ~
Wool to Come Up Monday.
WASHINGTON. June 8.—The leaders on
both sides of the senate chamber have been
conferring with a view to reaching some
agreement so that progress will be made
on the tarifi'. Today Senator Aldrich said
that it was likely that an agreement would
be reached to proceed with the schedules of
the bill until wool is reached, under the
five minute rule, and finish them this
week, so that the wool schedule could be
taken up Monday. This includes the agri-
cultural schedule, which is now under con-
sideration; spirits, wines and other bever-
ages; cotton manufactures and flax, hemp
and jute—in all, four schedules, covering
27 pages of the printed bill. Mr. Aldrich
says that these four schedules are not so
important but they may be considered in
that manner. As to the] time of taking a
final vote, he said that no agreement could
be made.
