OBAlND'LER ON SILVER.
The New Hampshire Senator Thinks the
Bimetallic Light Is Breaking.
Denver, Col., March 4.—The News, lissued
this morning, published letters on the silver
question, written to Colonel James H. Piatt
of this city 'by Senator William K. Chand-
ler of New Hampshire and Hon. Henry
Hicks, a member of the London city coun-
cil, who was untill recently a gold mono-
imetiall'Jst. Mr, Chandler writes under date
o f February 1:
"As to the silver question, I think the
flight is already breaking in the east. Aj
•we have progressed toward gbld monomet-
allism the .business distress o£ the world
flias increased. There 5s now an outcry
from Iodia and from Europe; from the
Ocaident and from .the Orient. Bimetallism
must be secured or there w^ill be almost
mo end to the flail in value that is taking
(place and is paralyzing business and dis-
tressing debtors beyond endurance. The
New England bimetallic movement is also
«n encouraging symptom. I shall be glad
'to see hard times disappear and prosperity
return, as many think they will within the
next 3ix months, but my fears are that the
(pending distress will be prolonged two or
three years."
SHOT AT A LAWYER.
Louisville, Ky.. March 4.—<A special to the
Commercial from Clarksvlile, Term., says
that Mrs, Ellen Boyce attempted to shoot
G. Q. Boyd, a colored lawyer of wide rep-
utation, at 8 o'clock to-day. Boyd had
come trouble with tlhc woman regarding: re-
ports she had circulated against him, and
aast njght he visited her dressmaking estab-
lishment and administered a severe whip-
3i»ing to her. This morning the quarrel was
renewed, and Boyd whipped her again.
Securing a revolver, she fired at him twice
as he was leaving her piace, but missed
Jiim. Before she could carry out her threat
of killing him she was arrested and jailed.
Boyd represented the Clarksvlile section at
Ithe last republican national convention, and
lie is quite a factor in republican politics
all through middle Tennessee.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
London, March 4.—The manner in which
the queen announced the retirement of
Mr. Gladstone to the people will prove
interesting to Americans. It is contained
in the court circular and is written by a
court official. Every word of this cir-
cular is generally submitted to the queen
in advance. The announcement is dated
Windsor castle, March 3, and begins thusly:
"The queen, accompanied by her royal
highness Princess Beatrice, drove out yes-
terday afternoon."
Then follows a list of arrivals at the
castle, headed by the names of the chil-
dren of the duchess of Albany, Prince and
Princess Henry of Battenberg, the Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard, American ambassador
to the court of St. James, and the French
ambassador, ending with the names of
Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. It then goes
on to enumerate all those who attended
her majesty's dinner, wherein the name.s
of Mr. and Mr#. Glad^ton? come last. This
is followed by ti:e. information that the
queen and Princes.^ Beatrice went out this
morning, and then comes the fact that
a cabinet council has been held. Finally,
following the announcement anent the
council, comes the announcement that the
Rt. Hon. William 'E. Gladstone had an
audience with the queen and tendered his
resignation, which was graciously accepted
by i er majesty. It adds that the queen
has summoned Lord Ro.sebery, secretary
of state for foreign aiffairs, and offered
him the post of prime minister vacated
by the Rt. Hon. William E. Gladstone, M.
P., and that (Rosebery has accepted her
majesty's offer.
Gladstone to-day wrote a letter to
Earl Rosebery congratulating him upon
his accession to the premiership. In his
letter Mr. Gladstone promised to aid the
new premier whenever his assistance was
asked.
HARCOURT REMAINS.
It is understood that Earl Rosebery'a
communication to Sir William Vernon Har-
court has resulted in tflie latter consenting
to retain his position as chancellor of the
exchequer, and to his accepting the govern-
ment leadership in the house of commons.
Notwithstanding the fact that to-day was
nominally a day of rest, Lord Rosebery
was busily engaged all day. Mr. Herbert
Asquith, the home secretary, and Earl
Spencer, first lord of the admiralty, visited
him and remained for some time. After-
ward Lord Rosebery called upon the earl
of Kimberley and offered to him the post
of foreign secretary, made vacant by his
promotion to the position of prime min-
ister. Sir William Vernon Harcourt had a
long interview with Lord Rosebery this
afternoon.
The new prime minister has appointed
Mr. Monroe Ferguson as his political pri-
vate secretary.
Lord Rosebery has been the recipient of
many congratulatory letters and dispatches.
Among those who telegraphed to him were
the prince and princess of Walet. A large
number of persons left their cards at Lord
Rosebery's city residence, No. 38 Berkeley
square. *
Hundreds of letters and tleegrams ex-
pressing regret because of his retirement
from office were received by Mr. Gladstone
The ex-prlme minister attended church to-
day. He looked remarkably well. Mrs.
Gladstone has not yet recovered from her
recent indisposition. A physician called
twice to-day at Downing street to attend
her.
The nationalists propose to present Mr.
Gladstone an address in recognition of the
great services he has rendered to the Irish
cause.
The speech from the throne was signed
by the queen yesterday. It was not long
nor significant. The speech is the last of-
ficial document prepared by Mr. Gladstone
It briefly refers to the protracted and la-
borious character of the session. It stated
that Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone will go on
Tuesday to Brighton, and that they will
spend Easter at Hawarden castle.
FIRST CABINF.T COUNCIL.
Prime Minister Rosebery held his first
cabinet council at his residence this after-
noon. All the ministers were present ex-
cept Mr. Asquith and Mr. Henry Fowler,
the president of the local government
board. The council was In session for
only a short time.
Lord Rosebery will be given an audience
to-morrow by the queen at Buckingham
palace at 3 o'clock.
The Irish Independent, newspaper, of
Dublin, which Is a Parnellite organ, will
to-morrow contain an article saying that
as Mr. Gladstone has now retired It will
he necessary that full and complete as-
surances be obtained from Lord Kosebery
that the government's home rule policy
shall be continued. Lord Rosebery must
show his colors Immediately.
Interviews held to-day by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press with leading
members of the house of commons show
that while a section of the radicals con-
tinue to strongly resent the election of
Rosebery instead of Sir William Vernon
Harcourt as Mr. Gladstone's successor
Sir Hem-}' Laboucherc continues to lead
the irreconciliables. He hints that thev
will soon find an opportunity to protest
in practical form In the house of commons
against the selection of Lord Roseberv as
prime minister. Mr. David Brown-Clark,
a leading Scotch radical member of the
house of commons, says he agrees with
the position taken by Mr. Labouehere, and
adds that he himself will probablv em-
phasize Ills protest by the wlthdr.iwel of
his support of the government at an early
and critical occasion. He will probably
move an amentment to the address In
reply to the queen's speech proroguing the
session In order to raise the subject of
home rule all around. Others members of
the house,[ while expressing sympathy with
this attitude, declare that they do not
l'eel justified In overturning the liberal
government, especially as Lord Rosebery 1b
pledged to questions that wo cut tiowu
Tor the earliest treatment at the new ses-
sion, and because they have every reason
to believe that he a -• i ~ that there is
urgency for a material limitation of the
power of the house of lords. Moreover,
the opinion is express ! that Lord Rose-
bery may propitiate the professional and
commercial classes, beside softening the
rancor of the opposite i of the. liberal
unionists, which, with the choice of a
more belligerent lead-!, such as Sir Wil-
liam Vernon Harcoun. might have been
prolonged and intensities.
The Welch members of the house of com-
mons are deeply concerned in the situa-
tion. in view of the early place promised
by the government I'm the Welch dis-
establishment bill In the next session, but
the general feeling is one of confidence
that Lord Rosebery will carry out the
promises made by Mr. Gladstone. It is
argued, moreover, that if the re-organiza-
tion of the government l«. earlv upset, the
prospects of Wei eh disestablishment will
be Indefinitely delayed
The Irish nationalist- «iate that they do
not feel as though thej had any right
to take part In the agitation over the
leadership of the liberal party, but, strong
In the past promises „r nie government
and their own strength, they relv upon the
government giving practical attention ill
due course to the Irish claim.
A FITTING Sl'CCKSSOR.
London, Match 5.—The Times to-day says
that among all those who understand that
considerations of a national character are
involved, the conviction Is even stronger
than among' the liberals, that Lord Rose-
bery is the most fitting successor of Mr.
Gladstone In the present crisis, Continuing,
the Times says:
"Wltih Lord Rosebery we can confidently
expeot a certain unity of thought, of ac-
tion. He Is an Imperialist in national af-
fairs, and has recognised that there is no
question anywhere of oppressing Ireland,
and that there is a defined difference be-
tween the unionists nu.l ilie party that
he leads. As to the difference of opinion
concerning the 'best means of governing
Ireland, he has even hinted that the differ-
ence might disappear if it were properly
treated. That Is an attitude which may
work an enormous change In the relation's
between the parties, and possibly in the
distribution of individuals. It is a re-
version to the wider statesmanship of an
early day, and offers the welcome hope of
escape from the degrading servitude in
which Mr. Gladstone has been content to
live and to compel the nation to live. In the
large province of legislation dealing with
social problems, Lord Rosebery, judging
from scattered Indications, is prepared to
make a bold, though, we trust, not a
headlong, experiment. In that direction we
will watch his developments with great
anxiety. On the Important question of
naval defenses there,'Will be an end to the
hesitation and -reluctance mat has been .so
marked during Mr. Gladstone's tenure of
office, but on all questions nf general policy
the new ministry will follow tihe lead of
the old one, ]t Is quite certain that his
term of office will Jiot be a matter of se-
rious solicitude to Lord Uosebery. His
tasks will be to rescue his party from iis
deplorably scattered Condition, and to free
it from degrading subservience to a taction
careless of t>he interests of the empire and
hostile to England. In these tasks he can-
not hope for success under existing condi-
tions without a period of salutary discip-
line and reflection in opposition. Sooner or
later the liberal party must go in retreat
and prepare for <a new career of useful-
ness."
TIMES ON THE SITUATION.
London, March 4.—iCpmmenting this morn-
ing upon the political situation the Times
says: "The prevailing belief is that Mr.
John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland,
will go to the India "office, but there is
much doubt regarding his successor as Irish
secretary. It is an open secret that Mr.
Morley would not object to leaving the
Irish office, but at the same time he has
studiously refrained from pressing this
point, and If the general desire of his
colleagues be that lie retain his present
office he is prepared to do so."
With reference to the rumors that
changes are to be made In the war and
admiralty offices, the Times says that
the special need Is continuity of policy
just now. and unless a hitch occurs it
may be expected that no changes will be
made. The paper further says It is an-
ticipated that Mr, Gladstone will issue an
address to his constituents In Midlothian
stating his reasons for leaving the premier-
ship. The paper adds tliut as far as It
can be ascertained Jlr. Gladstone will re-
tain his seat In the house of common*.
The Tillies concludes by stating that there
is much apprehension regarding the at-
titude of the Parnellite members of the
house of commons, and that the ministers
would not be surprised if Mr. Redmond
the leader of thai seotlon of the Irish
parliamentary party, made an early bid
for radical support, with a view of squeez-
ing .the government upon matters of inter-
eat to both sections.
A DRAMATIC 'TORN.
London, (March 4,—The Dally News says:
X painful and dramatic turn has been
given to the ministerial rearrangement by
the sudden death of ljord Tweedmouth,
father of the Rt. Hon. Kdward Majori-
banks, the chief liberal whip, who now
becomes Baron Tweedmouth. The paper
adds: It was settled last night that the
earl of Kimberley, now lard president of
the council and secretary of state for India
will succeed Lord Rosebery as secretary of
state for foreign affairs.
WILL BHEJLVi) HOME RLUE.
Limerick, March 4 —The mayor of this
city to-day, presided at a mass meeting
held at the town hall. He made an ad-
dress, In the course of which, speaking
in favor of the policy followed by the
Parnellite section of the Irish parliament-
ary party, he declared that the resignation
of Mr. Gladstone meant the shelving of
home rulo for a long lime. The events of
the past week, he further said, had con-
vinced even the anti-Parnellltes that their
policy was wrong.
IRISH MEETING HELD.
New York, March I. A conference under
t'he auspices of the elty council of the
Irish national federation, was held this
afternoon In Cooper union, at which the
resignation of Mr. Gladstone was com-
mented upon, and the name of the Grand
Old Man was vigorously applauded. The
meeting was to consldi i the extension of
the federation and a better- organization of
the Irishmen In this city.
REBEL TRANSPORT SUNK.
Rio de Janeiro, Feb. a!, via Montevideo,
March 4.—[Copyright, 18M, by the Associated
Press.]—The reports of the loss of the rebel
transport Venus have been confirmed, but
the details ot the loss of the vessel are
as yet meagre.
On Friday morning the armed rebel trans-
ports Jupiter, Marte and Venus, which were
lying oft Porto Madam a, took up positions
uJT Poi'to Madama and opened up a bom-
bardment against the government batter-
ies. The guns in the batteries responded
quiclriy and quite a lively lire was ex-
changed. Suddenly then was a terrific roar
heard above the booming of the guns, and
It was at once conjectured that an ex-
plosion had occurred. At first It was
iliought that the disaster had befallen the
transport Marte.
Immediately the sound of the explosion
was heard, the men in the batteries and
elsewhere along the shore saw a huge col-
umn of reddish brown smoke ascending
and spreading out to wide dimensions as
It rose. It was soon seen that the ex-
plosion had occurred on the Venus. The
vessel had beea torn In half, iind almost
immediately afterward the stem half of
the wreck went to the bottom. The bow
half was on fire, and In a few minutes the
flames were raging furiously. This por-
tion of the Venus floated for half an ihour
and then went down.
The Venus was commanded by Captain
Vasconcelles.. He, with three officers and
twenty-idne men, made up the compliment
tit the ve.sel. Every soul on beard of her
was lost. Some of the crew could be seen
for a time on the forward part of the ves-
sel as it drifted helplessly and burning,
ond efforts were made to rescue them, but
the boats that were dispatched on this
work were slow in reaching the scene of the
disaster, and by the time they arrived the
men on the wreck were forced by the lire
into the water. Apparently they could not
swim, and before the boats reached them
they sank.
Many theories are current as to the cause
of the disaster. The most probable of these
is that a shot from the shore batteries
struck the Venus amidships and plowed its
way through the hull and boilers. It is
pretty certain that the magazine did not
explode, for the smoke, as stated above,
was of a reddish brown color, while tlie
smoke of powder Is gray.
It has been reported that the insurgents
on the islands of Vianna, Engenho and
Pontal had revolted against their leaders
and declared in favor of the government.
The representative of the Associated Press
is in a position 'to state that there is no
basis nf truth 111 these reports. The In-
surgents on the islands In question are en-
thusiastic in support of their leaders.
No Importance is attached to the cap-
ture of Bage by the government forces.
The place is of little, if any, strategic im-
portance.
FROM BRAZIL BY MAIL.
Rio de Janeiro, Marah 4.—(Copyright,
1891, by the Associated Press.J—It is gener-
ally believed that the Insurrection here and
In the south is virtually over. The rebels
are losing at all points, and to an Impartial
observer the end ot the long drawn out
struggle is in sight. By far the most bloody
battle that has been fought during the re-
volt took place early in the morning ot
February 9, at Arinacao mountain, when
the insurgents lost twenty-five men. As
the entire rebel forces there number less
than 8iW men, theiir loss on this occasion Is
a very serious blow to them. The rebels
at Ilrst repulsed the government troops, but
the discovery of a large supply of whisky
proved fatal to the attacking force. The
rebels devoted themselves to drinking the
whisky, with the result tlwit in « very short
time many of them were place hors du
combat. It was while the greater number
of the rebels were lit a helplessly intoxi-
cated condition that the .severe loss was
Inflicted upon them by Che government
troops. Those who were uninjured and had
sense enough to flee took to their boats
and soon placed themselves outside the
range of tire. Fresh guns have been
mounted upon the batteries, which are now
doing as much damage to the rebel fleet as
was done before the attack was made.
The rebels are very seriously crippled by
fche lack of men. In addition to tthis, every
one ijf their ships here, with the exception
ot the Aquldaban, has been shot full of
holes by the government forces. Their fa-
cilities for repairing the damage done their
Ships are very meager, and consequently
their vessels are not at all seaworthy.
With their strongest plea for their revolt
taken from them by the nomination of a
distinguished and popular civilian for the
presidency, and finally, with their south-
ern allies surrounded by overwhelming
forces, it would seem that they had reached
the end of their rope.
In many of the states of the south, nota-
bly Sao Paulo, where a third of the popu-
lation is made up of German and Italian
immigrants, the feeling in favor of the
government is very strong. Volunteers are
coming freely from all parts of the state
of fa&o Paulo, and in the city of Sao Paulo
the very best men have enlisted in sup-
porting the government.
THE BRAZILIAN ELECTIONS.
Washington. March 4.—Minister Mendoca
has received the following telegram from
the minister of exterior of Brazil:
Elections perfectly tranquil; Dr. Prudente
de Mora** elected president and Dr. Man-
uel V lctorlno Parereir vice president, bv a
large majority.
Senhor Mendoca has received no definite
Information concerning the congressional
elections, but is confident that a large re-
publican majority, which appeared in the
presidential elections, will also obtain in
the congressional elctlons.
Concerning Admiral da Gama's statement
that although his party would probably ac-
cept the eleotlon of President Moraes yet
the election was not legal, because held
under martial law, and that the new pres-
ident would probably order a new election.
Senhor Mendoca said:
"The election was held tinder no pressure
from the government. Martial law was
suspended during the time of the election
and an opportunity to vote was given to
all entitled to the franchise without refer-
ence to the existing state of Insurrection.
l>a Gania s remarks are not coherent. As
a matter of fact, the president has no
power to order an eleotlon, the time being
fixed by the constitution. The power to
postpone congressional elections Is vested in
the president, and they are often postponed,
notably when, for some reason or other'
the session of congress Is prolonged past
the usual date for holding the elections
The president could not, however, order a
new eleotlon.
"Moreover," conitiinued Minister Mendon-
ca. "if tile congressional elections were not
legal, the presidential efieotion was not le-
sail either, for tiliey took place at the same
time. Yet Da Gam« says he will accept
t/h,e eleotlon of the president. lit is plain
therefore, that Da Gama's position is n.-il
tther coherent or logical. As a matter of
fact, the elections were perfectly free and
open, arnd I have no doubt whatever con-
cerning their legal 10'. The new eotiK.i<ess
convenes May II."
Minister Meiidumca has received official
confirmation of the report of the destruc-
tion by explosion of the rebel transport
Venus.
MONEY IN LOMBARD STREET.
London, March 4.—Money was In good
demand during the past week, and the
Indications point to an easy market for
several days to come. Discount rates were
steady. The settled state of the market
Is shown by the fact that the allotment
of twelve months treasury bills during the
week was the most favorable ever re-
corded. It Is generally expected that dis-
count rates will continue low. The silver
market weakened on the announcement
that, the Indian government would levy
an import duty on the metal. The an-
nouncements, however, had some good re-
sults, Inasmuch as they put an end to
the uncertainty In regard to the action or
the Indian government. Purchases of sli-
ver by the Indian banks and trailers are
regarded as extremely likely, directly
affairs settle themselves to the new con-
ditions. The cheapness of sliver also
stimulates eastern trade, which will leud
to a. revival of the demand for sliver.
The stock market has shown a rising
tendency. A feature has been the demand
for investment securities. Air. Goschen's
consols reached the record price of luui„.
This high price Is not a healthy sign, as
it indicates public mistrust of »tocks
yielding a higher rate of Interest.
The speculative market Is therefore dull.
Home railway securities, which were
changed at all. have risen. Foreign stocks
—with the exception of Italians—have gen-
erally advanced. There Is some uncer-
tainty regarding Italian securities growing
out of the recent speech of Prime Minister
Crisp!, Interest, however, centers in the
remarkable rise In Egyptian securities, the
Egyptian financial statement showing a
large surplus. American railway securities
improved generally on tile week, though
there was a slight decline yesterday, due to
the delay in I'he settlement on the tariff
question and 'the resumption of gold ex-
ports. The January statements of the
granger companies, showing the economical
working's of the lines, have created a more
hopeful view regarding coming dividends.
Erie seconds show the largest increase,
3%. St. Paul advanced IVi, while the ad-
vance in other securities ranged from
H to 1. Canadian Pacific weakened yester-
day in sympathy Willi Americans. Grand
Trunk was weaker. Telegraph shares were
mostly better.
CHURCH AND STATE,
Paris, March. 3.—The 'municipal authori-
ties of St. Denis, a subtmb of Paris, re-
cently Issued an order prohibiting the ex-
hibition of certain religious emblems. The
order excited considerable feeling, and to-
day the matter was officially brought to

fliols.v debate resulted on the religion tT
of the government.
A curmus incident of the de-bata
epeeeh made by M. iSpuMer, 'minister of
pmbllc worship, who took advantage of the
ocasion to avow that he himself was now
a free thinker, as he had always been.
He urged, -however, thait great advantages
would accrue from toleration in religious
masters. E\-Miinis>ter Hriso-n characterized
M. Spuller's remarks as an uct of contrition
for hiis pi st.
Prime Minister Cafdmer-Perler pointed
out that in the struggle between the church
and the state the latter had triumphed,
and it would therefore, he said, be un-
dignified for the government to follow a
vexatious pulley towards Catholics. lOx-
Minister Goblet argued that the govern-
ment was following u mistaken policy, The
church, he declared, had not been an-
nounced.
Mr. ilrlson demanded urgently for a
motion pledging the government to persist
in an anti-clerical policy . This demand
was rejected by a. vote of 30T» to i'i, and
finally the chamber, by a vote of 30- to
119, adopted a motion declaring its con-
tidence in the government.
A HUGE PARADE.
Buda Pesth, March 4.—This city was the
scene to-day of a great gathering of peo-
ple, who came from all parts of the
country to take part In a great mass meet-
ing, the object of which was to declare In
support of the government measure provid-
ing for eivll marriage, religious liberty and
recognition of tne Jewish faith. It is

These were
,o<V'V
estimated that at least 130,000 people took
part in the demonstration. These were
'ormed In various parts of the city, nnd
the procession, with bands playing and
banners flying, marched to a central point,
all Joined in one gigantic parade. At the
head of the line a number of men rode
on horseback. A large number of high
officials took part in the parade.
ARRESTED THIRTEEN ANARCHISTS.
Paris, March 4.—Thirteen anarchists were
arrested here to-day. The police made a
search of the lodgings occupied by the
prisoners, and found a quantity of ex-
plosives and a mass of documents of the
usual anarchistic character. Recent
searches made by the police have dis-
closed lhe fact that members of well-to-do
persons have given money to anarchists
with a. view to Insure themselves against
outrages. Among those who have thus
paid what is practically blackmail are
many priests.
FWE RECORD.
AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.
Chicago, 111., March 4.—Another attemot
to destroy the world's fair buildings by
fire was made to-day, and proved Inef-
fectual only because of the timely appear-
ance of a Columbian guard, who turned Jn
an alarm. The tire broke out at 4.30 this
afternoon In the station house just south
of the terminal station and within fifty
fleet of machinery hall, and but for the
timely interference the three buildings
would probably have been destroyed. As
there has been no lire about the premises
for months and as the contents were not
of a nature to cause spontaneous combus-
tion the supposition is that the tire was of
incendiary origin.
The police have arrested Michael Murphy,
who was on the ground at the time, and
was unable to give a reasonable account
of his movements. Murphy has been seen
lo4ttertfcng about ijhe place for the last
two weeks, and the police think they have

countable tires at Jackson park.
EIGHT BUILDINGS.
Burnet, Burnet Co., Tex., March 4.—This
morning about 3 o'clock a fire broke out
In the law office of J. S. Cook, situated on
the west side of the pu-blic square, and
before it could he subdued seven more frame
buildings were destroyed. Loss $5000. In
surauee, $1100: $700 in the Home of New
Orleans and $400 in the Phoenix of Hart-
ford. J. CJ. Cook is the principal loser, hav-
ing no insurance on his office or valuable
library.
LOSS ABOUT $lf,0,000.
Shreveport, La., (March 4.—Last night's
fire was the most destructive Shreveport
has had for a long time, and a conservative
estimate places the loss in the neighborhood
of $lf»0,000. The flames were finally brought
under control about 2 o'clock this morn-
ing.

LABOR MATTERS.
STRIKE SITUATION COMPLICATED.
Charleston, W. Va., -March 4,—Affairs at
Eagle and Montgomery are becoming more
complicated. Though there has been no
fresh violence of any kind, yet the sheriff
seems to be threatened with diflleulty in
serving the warrants obtained yesterday
for the arrest of the men engaged in thw
attack on Wyant's miners Tuesday.
This morning Governor 'MeCorkle re-
ceived a telegram from Colonel Hodges,
In command of the military at Eagle,
stating, that the town authorities of Mont-
gomery were Interfering with the sheriff
In the discharge of his duties, and ask-
ing for Instructions. The governor at
once wired Hodges .to aid the sheriff in
every way necessary to a. full execution of
the law. He also sent his chief of stair,
Colonel R. S. Carr, to Montgomery, with
instructions to urge Hodges to show no
hesitancy In extending to the civil officers
whatever aid should be necessary in exe-
cuting the warrants.
The sheriff made fourteen arrests last
night and to-day, and Is now on his way
to Fuyetlevllle with the prisoners. He
has thirty-nine warrants still in his hands.
The authorities fear that an attempt will
be made to rescue the prisoners on their
way to .the county seat.
The attitude of the authorities of Mont-
gomery towards the miners is very friendly,
and this friendship Is easily explained.
Tha Montgomerys own the town. It is
built on their land, the stores and saloons
are nearly all owned by them, and a large
portion of the population Is composed of
opmatlves at the surrounding mines, who
live in the houses owned by the Mont-
gomery.-'.
The military company at Huntington and
one at Milton, near there, which have
b-''ii held In readiness to march ai a
moment's notice for two days, have been
notified that there is no immediate nevd
of their services.
