IN1 nA.NApouy, Ind., June 5.—A telephone message from Shelburn says tho troops have been lired on under oover of tiio ui(,'ht. Cuininunieation is bad and It Is only known that four of tho strikers were killed lit the return volley. liriff. lien. Mclvee sent (t call for tile second liatlintf ffun, the tlist being at Cannelburg. Shortly after midnight a special train was secured, and the rest of the Indiana lijflit artillery under command of Capt. Curtis, speaker of tho last house, was started over the Vandalia via Terre Haute for the scene of the outbreak. Kusli dispatches from the governor were sent to seven different military companies to prepare to march at any hour. It is feared some of the militia has been injured or perhaps killed. There are eight companies there, counting the two that came up from Cannelburg. This would give McKee about 400 men. Opposed to them must be nearly 2,000 desperate strikers.

Killed ly Strikorn,

Whkkuno. W. Va., June 5. At 0 o'clock Monday evening while miners were leaving their work at l'owellton, in the Kanawha valley, unknown persons tired a volley of fifty shots into their midst, lulling four of their number. The names of the men who were killed are unobtainable. Sheriff Uitiman and a posse left at once for the scene of the trouble and nothing further is reported up to midnight. The men were undoubtedly killed by strikers, who had been threatening them for several days.

Ki'mplurtHl a Train.

l'4UMi i(sniUG, Intl., June 5.—Monday was a day of victory for the striking coal miners hereabouts. It looked for a time as though the railway company, supported by Sheriff Mills and the First regiment of Indiana infantry, would come out triumphant again, as they did Sunday, but not so. When the local freight, north bound, having passed unmolested through Shclburu and C'urrysville, arrived at Alum Cave switch, a branch of tlie K.vansville & Terre Haute running 12 miles back into the hills and terminating at Alum Cave mining camp, it was stopped by a inob of twenty-five or thirty strikers armed with shotguns, ritles and revolvers. The train crew was ordered to cut loose the caboose and allow it to stand oil the main track, while the coal cars were run in on the switch. This was done without delay. The trainmen, operating in fear of tile arms of the strikers, placed a caboose and the rest of their train on a side track, and the man at the throttle backed his engine to the switch and a brukeman coupled it to the coal cars.

All this was done with dispatch and without anyone save the participants and a few bystanders discovering that anything unusual was in progress. When the captured coal train was ready to move all of the 'regular crew except the engineer and fireman, Charles Hide and llarvev Rhodes, of Kvansville. were instructed to leave, and as lead was back of the instructions, they obeyed. The engineer was told to back up at a lively rate. lie backed up, the armed strikers ranging themselves about on the top of tho coal. No stop was nvide until Alum Cave was reached. There the coal cars were side-tracked and the engineer and fireman with their engine were released.

OvtT lluming Tron!U».

They ran back to this town, having a thrilling experience on the way. Tliey were running rapidly, believing that all the doors of devilment wore back of them. Aluin Cave switch is very crooked, winding among tho hills, ami just around ncertain curve coming in this direction is a long trestle. When this trestle came in sight it was discovered to be oil fire. There was no chance to escape. Engineer Hide threw the throttle wide open and crossed the trestle in safety. The fire is still burning.

Sliots Kx'Iihiikm1.

News of the capture of the coal train was carried to the soldiers by an overland courier. They had stopped i! miles this side of Shelburn to try to run down a squad of men who had piled ties on the track in response to a shot at Shelburn telling the strikers that eoal was coming. This effort having failed, tho blue-coats soouring the woods unavailingly for a mile around, they came on to this place. It was growing dark and Aluin Cave would be no place for the militia after dark,,so they went iuto camp here.

While the soldiers were chasing the would-be train wreckers between here and Shelburn the latter dropped several cartridges, which were picked up. About thirty shots were exchanged at long range between the blueeoats and the" fugitives. Maj. 'J'. C. Stunkard, regiment surgeon of Terre Haute, had four strikers shooting at him at once. He returned the fire and things were lively for a time, but no one was hurt. Two or three men were arrested and sent to jail at Sullivan. r»ing DynnmUo.

Shki.hi'RN, Iii(l.ttlune 5.—This town resounded all Sunday night with tho boom of anvils. What they were bolng tired for 110 one knows save those who did the shooting. At a. m. there was a tremendous explosion. Daylight revealed its results. The KvansvUlo_& Terre Haute railway trestle half a mile above here is badly splintered. Two ties are torn to pieces and a large hole is blown ill the heavier sustaining framework. The trestle still bears up trains, but it furnishes evidence of a terrilic explosion. The job was done

with either dynamite or giant powder. The miners indignantly deny that they ure in any way responsible.

The Soldier* Coinf,

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon word reached Shelburn that the militia had broken camp at Sullivan and were on their way to this place immediately behind a local freight. The report also stated that five loaded ears were in tho train. Ten minutes later the population of the town was along the railroad track in the vacant space just north of the depot. There were no threats and 110 ineendiary talk heard. A largo mass-meeting had been hold an hour or so before, and it was clear that the meeting had resulted in an understanding that no open defiance of the militia was to take place. Tho crowd quietly awaited developments. About 5:!I0 o'clock the soldiers' train, seven coaches and a commissary car, stopped NOO yards south of the depot at tho same place as yesterday. The troops rapidly alighted, and forming a solid square inarched straight down the railroad traclt. Justus they had passed the depot tho square was broken in the center, and half of the rogiment took either side of the track. Krig. Ceil. McKee, Col. libel and Adjt. I'arks were in command. The train that bore the blueeoats was sidetracked and the local freight pulled through. It carried five ear loads of coal. No sign of protest came from the miners. The soldiers reentered their train and followed tho freight north. Oil the grade a miles north of here a squad of striken had obstructed the track, but the freight got by after an hour's delay. The soldiers' train stopped at a grove and the regiment went into eamp onlv to be called out a few hours later, when the news came that the freight tram had been captured by the strikers at Alum Cave. ltouLect by Strikers.

SI'RIN-OFIEI.D, 111., June 5.—Gov.

Wasiitnc}'ton, June 5.—The testimony of Secretary Carlisle and Senators Mills and McTherson in the senate Inquiry, which was hoard in sceret, lias born given I.o the public. Senator Mills I denied ail knowledge of tho reported eret interview of Secretary Car lisle on the sugar question, and said that he and Senator Jones and Senator Vest had prepared the sugar schedule as lirst reported, and ho knew nothing of any memorandum for the schedule from the secretary. He also denied all knowledge of the alleged Sunday conference of the finance committee with those interested in securing sugar legislation. Me said he had never heard of members of the sugar trust being in the capitol while lie was acting as a member of the finance committee and that he had never met any of the members of the trust. The letter of introduction was merely a formal note containing only two or three lines, lie declined to see Mr. Havemeyer. Senator Mills also denied any knowledge of contributions to the democratic campaign committee.

Wlnit the Secretary Say*.

Mr. Carlisle stated that Senator Jones had requested him to have the nugar schedule prepared on the morniug o? Saturday. May 5. and had to his house for that purpose and had handed him memorandum stating what he ihod done. After he went to his office lie dictated the schedule providing for the ad valorem duty of 4U per cent, and the .additional one-eighth of one cent on sugars above Xo. JO, Dutch staudard. At 2 lock that day he went to the capitol In response to a telephone message requesting his presence, taking the sugar schedule, which ho had put in shape, with him. He found Senators Jones. Vest and M^Pherson and Kepresentatlve Breckinridge in the room of the senate committee on appropriations, and Senator liormau afterward came in. "After talking some time," said Mr. Carlisle, it was Mijruested that instead of having 40 p«r cent, ad valorem ujwn all sugars and onef.Mtfhthof one cent additional upon sugars testiug ubove No. Iti Dutch standard in eolox there ?.hould be a duty of 40 per cent, on all sugars below No. l« Dutch standard in color and 45 per cent, ou all sugars above

No. lfl Dutch standard in color, the additional 5 per cent, being, as you will observe, equal tc one-eighth of the 40 per cent, on the other grade.*. Thereupon some one asked ire if I would not write it. 1 said: 'I will just take this amendment which I have in my hand and iuterline it.' They wauted to insert a clause that this schedule should not abrogate or in any manner impair th(» provisions of the Hawaiian treaty and asked me if I could uot write that also. 1 said: *1 will just take this paper and interline it.' 1 took out the part which provided for oneeighth of one cent a pound additional, and put in the provision for 45 per cent ad valorem. Then I added to it in my own handwriting all the provisions now contained in it with regard to the Hawaiian treaty, just as it is to-day." 1 itvored Ad Valorem Duties.

Upon being asked by Senator Lodge whether he had advised the finance committee as to whether it was better to have ad valorem or ^pecillc duties. Wr. Carlisle *aid: "1 have always been favor of an ad valorem duty, but 1 do not remember thai 1 gave them any-such opinion then." Mr. Carlisle said that he. knew that ad valorem duller were advocated by the sugar-retining interest, for both the retluert. and the planters. Mr. Carlisle denied in emphatic terms that he had ever made a secret call upon the thiance committee or made a demand upon them c» protect sugar because of the democratic party's obligation to the sugar trust. est Kilters OeohtU.

Seuator Vest said that Mr. Carlisle was In the committee-room from time to time and consulted with the members of the committee in regard to the tariff bill, that he expressed great anxiety that the committee should agree upon some measure, and that it should bocome a law, but he made no statement about party obligations to the sugar trust. Senator Vest pronounced as "a lie made out of whole cloth" the story that he (Vest) had changed front on sugar. "I was for free sugar," he said, "but I was ilnally compelled to favor one cent a pound on raw sugar and no duty ou retlned sugar and no ad valorem." Closing his testimony Senator Vest said: *'l have never used my official position for private purposes. Any statement that I have absolutely false, as is also any statement that 1 ever gave any Information or had any connection with the sugar trust—that is also absolutely false. If anybody cau make the denial broader 1 wish he would do so."

Senator Mcpherson's Statement. Senator Mcpherson's testimony Is devoted largely to an explanation of stock purchases und the method of conducting them Ho said that he had agreed with the finance committee as to the sugar schedule. "I did not," he said, "favor the sugar schedule presented and did rave some over that," but ho added that he had never said anything about the democratic party's being under obligations to members of the sugar trust. He said he had never come in contact with any of the sugar rehners except Mr. Searles, who had called ou him In his house and remonstruted against the schedule he had presented in committee He repeated that he never knew of any obligations to the sugar trust, but said he had heard the statement made that the sugar refiners werc^i the habit of giving the democratic side a small contribution and the republicans a large one.

Had Dabbled In Stoekt*.

Senator MePherson stated that, while he kept an ofllce In Wall street and he had been in the habit for seven or eight years of buying Rtock6 as an investment and selling them, he had not considered himself an operator in the usual acceptation of the term. He said that in addition to the purchases of sugar stock made by his sou In February he had purchased some sugar stock in October and November and had sold it in December, when congress convened. Questions put by Senators Allen and Davis developed the fact that Senator Mcpherson's son hud made a profit of about $1,000 on the stock bought on the 22d aud sold on the 26th of February.

Closely .questioned by Senator Allen (Neb.) Senutor MePherson stuted that It was in the power of the sugur trust to put up or down the price of Its stock, and he knew this before his son bought the stock. He also knew that putting a tariff ou sugar would tend to increase the value of the stock. He did not think It right to speculate in the stocks affected by legislation and had never done so.

In the course of his examination Senator MePherson stated that it had been very definitely decided between himself and his son that the telegraphic order for sugar stock of February 12 was uot to be sent and that his son went to New York the night it was written. He thought the order had been carelessly left on titc desk and had been inadvertently sent by a servant.

DUE TO TIIF PANIC, I

Withstand a Itiiu.

UK* VV KAII.ritK.

Sr. .losKi'ii, Mo., June 5.—Steele A Walkor, one of the largest wholesale grocery houses of this citv and of the west, made a general assignment for the benefit of their creditors. The papers were filed at a. 111. J. A. H. Weakley and William W. Wheeler, of this city, were named ah trustees and are now in possession. The liabilities are estimated at about 8700,000 with assets valued at from S'JOO.OOO to SI .000.000. The parent house is loeated in Ihiscity with a branch at Wichita. Wan. Kfforts will be made to allow the linn to resume.

The firm is composed of Dudley M. Steele aud James \V. Walker and has been in business for ten veals. Mr. Steele is one of the pioneer merchants of the Missouri river, having been engaged in business here since ltMSO. The failure is attributed to the panic, which made it impossible for tho firm to collect outstanding accounts. The principal creditors are located in this city, Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia.

Kun on the Hun It I*.

When it was announced that the firm hud made an assignment a run was started on the First national and the Central savings banks, in both of which Messrs. Schuster, Steele and Walker were large stockholders. Considerable excitement was caused by the run and thousands of dollars were drawn shortly after the. opening hour. In the. case of the savings bunk, depositors were allowed to draw but S50, the thirty day rule being enforced on all checks for a larger amount. At noon, when it became evident that the banks had plenty of money, the crowds of depositors dwindled to a few dozen, when before that time the line had extended far nit, into the street. It is claimed both banks will pull through, and it is hardly likely the runs will extend to any other banks.

I'lie run on the I'"irst national bank of Buchanan & Co. und the Central savings bank was stopped at noon. I'lie Buchanan had over 81.000,000 in cash when tho trouble started aud while it was at its height a wagon lrove up und 8400,000 more ill currency was unloaded and piled on the counters with an invitation to the people to come and get their money. The bank refused aid offered it by the clearing house, which is ready to furnish all that is needed. Over 84,000,000 is in bank vaults here, which will be available if needed.

Turned Over to Creditor*.

Late in the afternoon M. D. Steele turned over all his Kansas land for the benefit of the firm's creditors. The land is appraised at 75,000, which brings the total amount of assets so far up to i?7UO.OOO. Additional assets which will be turned in will bring the total up to SI,100,000. The list of creditors has now reached a little over 8710,000. llrnnclies Clone.

Wichita, Kan., June 5.—Steelo & Walker's branch house closed here on account of the failure of the St. Joseph house.

Coal Imported from Wales. New Yoiik, June 5.—l-'our thousand tons of coi'.l from Cardiff, Wales, was brought into port at noon by the steamer Cynthiana, consigned to the Bcrwind-White Coal company. The coal is for supplying ocean steamers, and is furnished at a loss to the contractors of about S'I.50 a ton. This is a consequence of the strike in the bituminous coal fields.

In the House.

Wahuinotox, June 5.—In the house on Monday the Jirawlcy state-bank tax bill was discussed by Representatives Dalzell (rep., Pa.) and Hayner (dam. Md.) for the opposition and by Eepre sentatives Cobb (demM Ala.) and Oates (dew., Ala.) in favor of It, and then the house agreed to a senate joint resolu tion appropriating $10,000 to defray the expenses of the sugar investigating committee.
