MINERS REPLY
TO GOV. PEABODY

Scheme His Statement
That He is a Friend
to Union Labor.
A BITTER ARRAIGNMENT
Gall Colorado Militia a “Uni

DISCLAIM ALL LAWLESSNESS
Denver, Colo., Aug. 6.—A reply to
Governor James H. Peabody's expla-
nation of hts course In connection with
the labor troubles in this state was
made today by President Charles H.
Moyer and Secretary-Treasurer Wm.
D. Haywood of the Western Federa-
tion of Miners. They characterize the
governor’s recent article as “ A plan
to set himself right before the great
mass of people who will have their
ballots in thoir hands on the 8th of
November, to relegate to the.scrap
pile the mortgaged administration that
has strangled justice and human rights
by the armed power of military des-
potism."
The Half Has
Not Been Told.
The governor's charge that the press
has been unfair in its comments on
the situation is controverted.
"The press has not used the baro
knuckles of denunciation, but merely
the padded gloves of reluctant crltl-
olsm,” declare the federation offlcorB.
“The shame, the reproach and Igno-
miny which tarnish the fair name of
Colorado lies at the door of the ex-
ecutive chamber of the state capitol."
Replying to the governor's asser-
tion that he has waged a war only
against the Western Federation of
Miners and Is friendly to other labor
organizations, the federation officers
refer to the employment of troops to
deport coal miners from Southern Col-
orado and continue:
Hired
Uniform Mob.
"If the Western Federation of
Miners Is the Only lawless organiza-
tion, then why did the hired uniformed
mob, known a* the Colorado National
Guards, with your sanction and ap-
proval. deport and bull pen coal
miners whose national organization
boastH of a conservative Mitchell,
such an organization which has not.
as yet, proclaimed its endorsement of
the principles of socialism? Why did
the dollar a day 'Boys in Blue’ drive
eighty coal miners a distance of twen-
ty miles without water, like a herd of
cattle to finally enjoy Che supreme
pleasure of cptenching their madden-
ing thirst at a town trough? Ah, yes;
beloved Peabody, you love organized
labor so well that If you were gov-
ernor of Illinois the people of the na-
tion would ere this have heard tho
crack of military rifles behind the
stockades of tho packing companies of
Chicago.
The Lie
Direct.
“The very fact that organized labor
in every part of the United States,
Canada and Old Mexico has thun-
dered Its denunciation against the ex-
ecutive of Colorado, and the very fact
that thousands and tens of thousands
of dollars have flowed Into the treas-
ury of the Western Federation of
Miners, disproves the charges of law-
lcssenss manufactured by a ‘Friend of
organized labor.’ Organized labor does
'not contribute ftinda from Its treasury
in support of outlaws.
•“The Western Federation of Miners
has at no time, In all Its history, at-
tempted to defy the courts. Its mem-
bers, when charged with crime, have
been willing to enter the sanctuary
of a judicial tribunal and be tried by
a jury of their peers. In all the trials
that have been held In the state of
Colorado during the present strike,
where its membership has been
charged with most every profldity In
the catalogue of crime, the jury has
brought in a verdict of acquittal. In
the cases that were tried before the
courts of Teller county the testimony
that was bought and paid for by the
mine owners association fastened the
guilt of the train wrecking on salaried
detectives, and when the cases of mur-
der. conspiracy to murder and inciting
to riot come before the courts in Sep-
tember the finger of guilt will point to
the mine operators and the members
of the citizens' alliance who are the
‘Holy of Holies' with James Hamilton
Peabody.”
circumstance is probably not entirely
foreign to his coming visit to Paris.
Tunis is in a very prosperous con-
dition. Tho French colonists there,
some of whom own large estate?, are
In general of a better class than, for
instance, those in Algeria. It would
be regrettable If any change were to
be made In the existing regime. The
French government has no such proj-
ect in view, and is anxious to main-
tain the regency in its present flour-
ishing state. A small section of the
French colonial party, however, would
no doubt be glad to see the protec-
torate of France transformed into a
direct administration. Nothing would
be gained thereby excepting the pos-
sible employment of a number of their
own proteges for whom a more pro-
tectorate does not provide vacancies.
There are some wise heads among tho
chiefs of the French colonies, and they
will probably endeavor to moderate
the views of their loss reasonable col-
leagues and to convince them that the
only advisable and patriotic course to
pursue with regard to Tunis is to
leave well enough alone.

WIPES OUT A TOWN.
FIRE STARTED BY DEFECTIVE
FLUE LEAVES FEW COTTAGES.
Nearly One Hundred Thousand Dol-
lars' Worth of Property Was De-
stroyed and Fire Was Only Stopped
After the Use of Dynamite.
Wallace, Idaho, Aug. 6.—Scores of
people were rendered homeless and
nearly 1100,000 worth of property was
destroyed by a fire that swept Black-
bear, a small town between Wallace
and Burke, Idaho, last night. With the
exception of a dozen small cottages
In each end of the town, there Is not
a building left standing.
The fire was started by a defective
line In the Blackbear hotel, and in an
incredibly short time the whole town
was ablaze. The fire was only stayed
after dynamite was used to destroy
several houses in Its path. The elec-
tric power line, which transmits power
from Spokane Falls to several mines
for running mills, is burned out and
those mines are left Idle. With the ex-
ception of $2,500 insurance carried by
the storekeepers the loss Is total.

What Postmaster General 3ay» to the
People of Lai Vegaa.
Washington, Aug. 8.—Postmaster
General Payne today filed in the dis-
trict supreme court his answer to an
application for a writ of mandamus
made by Margaret Romers to compel
the postmaster general to re-establish
the postoffice at Las Vegas, N. M. The
postoffice formerly at that place was
removed to East Las Vegas In March,
1903. The postmaster general in hit
reply says that those applying for the
writ of mandamus have no interest in
the matter. He further claim? that
hie action in discontinuing and estab-
lishing oostofficea is a matter of dis-
cretion and not subject to a review of
the courts.
Chicago, Aug. 6.—The stock yards
strikers forgot their animosities and
troubles long enough to Join In peace-
able demonstration, the first time
since tile strike was called nearly four
weeks ago. In a Btreet parade several
miles In length, fully 26,000 strikers
and their allies encircled the stock
yards district, marching to music from
a dozen bands. Tho demonstration
ended with a picnic at Oswald's grove,
where addresses were made by promi-
nent labor leaders. While theso events
were In progress there was peace and
quiet around -the big packing houses at
the stock yards. -t
All Gave Way
to Merry-Making.
Even the question of extending the
strike by involving the teamsters was
held In atievance. The committee of
allied trades unions which was ap-
pointed to take up the question of or-
dering out the truck and coal team-
sters met early In the day, but ad-
journed on account of the merry-mak-
ing.
The question of shutting off the tee
supply at the yards will also wait until
Monday because of the [fictile. The
conference which was to have taken
place between President Donnelly of
the striking butchers’ union and tho
officers of the ice wagon drivers’ union
bolng postponed.
While the strikers were at their
sport the packers kept up their work
of killing and shipping. The usual
number of non-unton men were re-
ceived at tho different plants and put
to work. Country butchers wore nu-
merous among the day’s arrivals, and
In a statement by the packers tonight
it Is assorted that' a few days more
like today will put them In such a po-
sition that it would not be necessary
to add to tho forces of the butchering
and casing departments.
The run on the Drovers’ Trust and
Savings bank came to au end today.
Several small depositors withdrew
their money from the !>ank this morn-

LAND DEPRECIATING.
Many
Bean
English Farmers Have
Brought to Ruin.
London, Aug 6,—Numbers of farm-
ers, and land owners in Lincolnshire
have been brought to the verge of ruin
by the marked depreciation In the
value of land.
Two reasons are given for this la-
mentable state of affairs. It is chiefly
due to the low price of farm produce
conseqnent upon the vast amount im-
ported from abroad. A contributing
cause is that there are now no many
Industrial enterprises In which people
can Invest jhelr money that tben; Is
little competition for farms.
Some instances,of the decline may
be quoted. Mr. J. !jf. Tweed, town clerk
of Lincoln, has an estate at Alsthorpe
which has cost him £80,000. A few
months ago a local farmer declined it
at half that figure. The highest bid
at a recent auction for an Atelhorpe
farm which cost the vendor £56,000
was £25,06.
At Northorpe, near Gainsborough,
the late Mr George Coupland, invest-
ed £21,000 in an estate of 166 acre*.
The bidding stripped at £9,100 pounds
at th« sale a month ago.
It is the same with small holdings.

lion. Joe Bailey, Junior United

probability be present at the opening
of the National Irrigation congress In
this city, November 15th, to deliver
(he address of welcome to the dele-

Tho plan to invite the distinguished
orator was formulated ut yesterday's

Senator Bailey will extend a welcome
not only for El Paso, but for the en-

Among other novel features of the
entertainment which cropped out at
yesterday’s meeting Is the proposition
to convert the convention hall into a
large hall room and there hold the
grand hall to be tendered the visitors.
The original plans of the convention
hall provide for mtly a dirt Hour, but
it, is now proposed to lay a tempoc
ary bail room floor for the conveni-
ence of the dancers and defray tho
estimated expense of about $500 by
giving a second public dance, for
which an admission foe will tie

believed, can. with slight expense, lip

largest ball rooms iti the country and.

mitted suicide or was killed. Tbe po-
lice hold to the suicide theory, cm tho
ground that the accident would be al-
most Imposlble, as the window in the
toilet room, from which O’Connell
fell, was not open more than two feet.
Friends of O'Connell declare that the
dead marshal waa murdered, as he
was seen not more than ten minutes
before Ids death and at that time was
in a cheerful mood. They declare
that lu- had many enemies who would
not hesitate to kill him. Against this
theory is the fact that none of Ids ene-
mies have been seen in the neighbor-
hood of the hotel and there Is no evi-
dence of a struggle.
Shortly before 6 o'clock O'Connell
went to Ids room in the Markham to
change his clothing. Ten minutes
latnr Ids dead body was picked up on
the pavement below the toilet room
window. The police are Investigating
the various theories of O'Connell's
