'1 IIIFFiriLT TKOBI.EI No Telling When the Senate’s Sugar Schedule Debate Will End, REPEAL OF STATE BANK TAX. Those In Charge of the Hill In the House Unable to Agree Upon Any Dellnlte Polley Regarding the Measure—Cooper’s Proposed Tax on Greenbacks—Other News. Washington, June 4. — The sugar schedule will again this week be the central point around which the proceedings in the senate will revolve. Among numerous senators who were asked for their opinion as to when the debate on the schedule would cease, not one would attempt to fix a definite time. The discussion has proceeded for three days, which is the utmost time that Democratic senators would admit before the debate begun would be necessary or al- i lowed to it Among other lines of policy which have been conversed among the opponents of the bill is that of allowing the sugar schedule to be accepted as amended by the committee without taking any vote on the schedule in committee of the whole, the object being that the opponents of the bill shall not be forced to show their hands at this time and especially that they may refrain from exhibiting their supposed strength among Democratic and Populist senators. Senator Harris adheres to his determination to ask the senate to prolong its daily sessions into tbe evening, beginning with today. “We w’ant,” said Senator Jones, “to see that the senate does a good day’s work each day, and if it should be apparent that there has been no effort to secure delays for delay’s sake we should not probably ask for very extended hours, but if the proceedings should indicate that the long speeches are to continue we should probably’ ask the senate to sit well into the night.” . Tbe Republicans will probably resist the attempt to extend the sessions be- I yond 6 o’clock. ” Senator Harris said that when the | night sessions were once begun' they would be continued until the bilf should 1 be finally disposed of. Meantime they will maintain their efforts to get the Republicans to agree to fix a day for the final wote, house outlook for the week. State Bank Bill Liable to Be Defeated by | Inability of Leaders to Agree. Washington. June 4. —The outlook for the week in the house is so much in doubt that a Democratic caucus may be necessary to agree on a plan of action. The state bank question has been de bated until the leaders are anxious for a vote. But the debate has shown the state bank men that they are liable to be , defeated by inability to agree on any one | of the many plans discussed. It is probable that the final vote on the bill will be taken early in the week, unless the whole question is allowed to go over until a caucus committee can frame a satisfactory bill. The rules committee is considering the advisability of giving one day to Representative Cooper’s bill for subjecting greenbacks and Sherman notes to state and local taxation. Chairman Holman of the Indian committee is pressing with the Indian appropriation bill, and its consideration will come immediately after the state bank debate tiujess Mr. Cooper secures an intervening day’. K. OF P. CONCLAVE. Several Indiana and Ohio Divisions Will Contest For First Prize. Washington, June 4.—The biennial /convention of the supreme lodge and uniform rank, Knights of Pythias, will convene here Aug. 27. Among the features will be a grand street parade and review by President Cleveland, the dress parade and a competitive drill by about , 45 infantry and cavalry divisions. The entertainment fund will be $50,000. Eighteen thousand uniform knights and 150,000 to 200,000 other visitors are expected. Washington being the birth: place of the order, the local divisions will spare no effort to entertain the visitors. Several Indiana and Ohio divisions are entered in the competitive drill. Congress# Washington, June 4. —The senate acrimoniously -debated- for- three -hours Saturday Air. Hill’s motion to throw open the sugar investigation, but. took no vote. When the tariff bill came up Mr. Aldrich vigorously attacked the sugar schedule and talked for bounties. Mr. Caffery,. opposed this idea. In the house the state bank tax was continued. Negro Convention In Indianapolis. Washington, June 4.—C. H. J. Taylor. president of the Negro National Democratic league, has issued a call for a convention to be held in Indianapolis Aug. 2. The sessions will last at least three days and will be private except to delegates and those securing admission by ticket from the president. Mr.' Beil Resigns.

’ PEACEFUL. Armed Soldiers Restore Quiet In Indiana Coal Fields. ONLY ONE DISTURBANCE. Clay County Miners Stone a Train Hauling Black Diamonds. FEAR OF BLOODSHED DISPELLED. Cannelburg and Shelburn Workmen Snr* render to the Law When Confronted With the Militia of the State—Coal Train. Moving Uninterruptedly, Save That Near Shelburn They Found a Greasy Track—Massing and Moving of the Troops — Pathetic and Ludicrous Scenes In Indianapolis—Train Wreck* ing Attempted. Indianapolis, June 4.—Advices from the Indiana coal fields state that everything is quiet today. The militia sent out Saturday night reached Cannelburg and Shelburn yesterday, where they met and conquered previous rioters without resort to bloodshed. The fiery, bloodthirsty natures of miners, as pictured in press dispatches, was not existant when the soldiers arrived, and at Cannelburg coal cars were removed without difficulty. Three of the strike leaders were arrested. Ar Shelburn there was no difficulty in securing the train held so steadfastly, but it was hard work to get it up a grade ou which the tracks had been greased. There was some disorder in Clay county, where miners are alleged ro nave stoned trains of coal as they were hurried along the Vandalia. A company of militia has been ordered to this locality, and there is no doubt that it will be effective. “TQ ARMSI” Massing and Moving of the Militia From Indliiniipoli,. Indianapolis, June 4.—Saturday was a day of great excitement and dread of ■dire calamities iu Indianapolis. One of those rare instances in which the governor of a great state had been required to call upon the state militia to uphold tbe dignity of the law had come. It bad to be met, and when the governor decided that there was no time for delay tbe call was issued. Twelve companies from this city and other poftUß-were ordered under arms shortly after noon.' To many of the troops it was a period of foreboding and some fear, being entirely foreign to the kind of service, most had expected when enlisting. They had joined the militia for fun—to participate in the annual encampments, prize drills, civic parades and other peaceful demonstrations—but was this to be fun? That question was many times asked, and as many times answered in tones of doubt. But there was no hestiation. The soldiery of the state saw the demand to go forth to slaughter or to be slaughtered, and in most instances did it heroically. The intentions of the troops were carefully guarded, but men and boys in blue were seen all afternoon hurrying hither and thither, getting together equipment for a week’s siege. There were home leavetakings which were painfully saddening, and many a home parted with the P9<lo of the household arnid tears and a dretyl that there would be no returning. ~ Start to the Field. When it became known that the start was to be made from the Union station at 7 o’clock Saturday evening tjre troops moved to that point in appropriate time, the Gatling gun squad of the Indianapolis Light artillery (the organization which has for years defeated all coiners in prize competitions), being first on hand under command of Lieutenant Charles Garrard. The Indianapolis Light infantry, the Columbia rifle's of Anderson, Company A of the Second regiment and two companies of colored militia were soon on the ground, aiid while a special train was being prepared and loaded with munitions of war the station tilled with parents, lovers and friends of the defenders of the state. There were a few touching scenes. More, however, were ludicrous. Amid it all the soldier boys evidenced a disposition of defiance and smiled faintly when they saw the suspicion of a tear in the sweetheart’s eye, advising Ijer to cheer up. Mothers were not laughed at, however, but were consoled by words: “There is no danger,” “Oh, they’ll not . resist us.” At 7 o'clock this train pulled out over the J., M. and I. road, with Adjutant General Robbins commanding, its objective point being Cannelburg, where the ugliest demonstrations by the miners had occurred. These troops were joined by the Aurora company at Seymour. Second Train of x Soldiers. A few hours later similar scenes were enacted about the depot, when General W. J. McKee, under instructions from the adjutant general, with other troops, left at 10 o’clock on an I. and V. special, ' They were ..bound for Vincennes, at . which point the soldiery of Evansville, Jeffersonville, New Albany, Princeton ' and other southern Indiana towns was to be mobilized and thence proceed to Shelburn, where such stubborn resistance has recently been given to the movement of coal cars. Other troops were held here during yesterday, under orders to be ready for the field of action on call, and uniformed ‘ • S* ’ .. ■* *•? r

militiamen on the streets were not infrequently seen during the day. When news reached here that the militia had arrived at Cannelburg, had been quietly received and would offer no resistance to the strong arm of the law the people most interested—those who had representatives among the soldiers —gave a sigh of relief and prayed that there should be no further danger. y Governor Matthews, who is kept advised of the situation, is now confident that order will be restored without a 61ash. QUIET IN CANNELBURG* Observance of Law Promised on Arrival j of Troops. cA’nklduhg Ind., June 4.—Where all was commotion and excitement Saturday und where strikers tore up railroad track in their determination that cars loaded with coal should not pass this point, there was all day Sunday the most perfect quiet save for the commotion and gossip incident to the arrival of companies of militia. Adjutant Robbins reached here Sunday morning with the troops started from Indianapolis, having made the trip without particular incident. They met with no resistance—and will not. Telegraphic information sent out from here to the effect that miners were ready for war was a gross exaggeration. Upon arrival Adjutant General Robbins sought a conference with the strike leaders. He told them of his mission: tnat the governor had sent him and the troops to the scene to prevent any interference with railroad property or traffic; that this order was to be carried out, but that he was qnxious that it be accom plished peacefully. There was no attempt on the part of the miners’ committee to contradict or dispute his arguments. He was informed that whatever of lawlessness had been resorted to did Dot have the sanction of the miners in general and tbai there was no intention to defy the officers of the state. Obedience to the law was promised. The leaders in the difficulty of Saturday are not here. They scattered when the news of the coining of the militia reached here and are not likely to again appear pn the scene until brought in as individuals by the sheriff and a detachment of militia sent out yesterday afternoon to effect their arrest’ on charges of riotous conduct. Arrest of Three Strike Leader*. Dick Gale, Squire Sums and John Flynn have been arrested by Sheriff Deming and transferred to the county jail in Washington. The railrrjad at once repaired tne track and trestle destroyed. the militia being lined up on the edge of the woods while the work progressed. The 1,000 miners who were reported en route here did not materialize and have not been heard of at any point. There is not now a noisy man in the f locality of Cannelburg (sometimes called Clark’s Stat.ott) and all fear of trouble is past. Trains loaded with coal are now passing undisturbed over the road. Some of the miners say trouble will be renewed when the forces are withdrawn, but this will not be done for a week. SOAP ON THE TRACKS. Shelburn Men Try to Prevent Movement of Cars by an Old Trick. Sullivan, Ind., June 4.—Three companies of state militia were brought here yesterday. They remained until an engine and caboose came up from Evansville and, following the train from the north, the special with the troops went; to Shelburn. A short distance soutji of ’ the station the special stopped, when the soldiers got off, formed a phalanx with fixed bayonets and then marched up and surrounded the coal cars. The engine backed in and the cars were coupled together, when the train moved out without protest on tlje part of about 150 miners. About a mile north of Shelburn there is a steep grade, and it is said the rails were soaped, causing a delay of an hour. A portion of the military force was left at Shelburn, while the main body went on to Farmersburg. There they released cars and moved on to Alum Cave, doing like service. The militia then returned to this place and went into camp, It is a great relief to the community that this difficulty has been overcome without bloodshed. CLAY COUNTY MINERS. Coal Trains Stoned by Men Worked Up Over an Order For Militia. Brazil, Ind., June 4. —Miners here are greatly stirred up over the fact that the governor has ordered a company of militia to this city to force the movement' of, coal now standing on the Vandalia sidetrack. Yesterday afternoon three trains of Pennsylvania coal passed over the Vandalia going west. The first train ran on a passenger train’s time. 1 It was closely followed by the passenger, g so that in case the strikers stopped it the® passenger would be blocked. The second ® train passed through a crowd of miners at Knightsville. east of here, unharmed. The third one did, not fare so well, the miners stoning the train, breaking the 4" windows of the engine and caboose. THAI'S WRECKERS AT WORK. Desperate Effort to Ditch a Vandalia Freight Near Brazil. Brazil. Ind., June 4.—A desperate effort was made just east of this city Sat-’ urday night to wreck freight train No. 26, supposed to be hauling coal. The Vandalia found two coupling pins wedged in switch frogs, but luckily the train was running slowly and was stopped quickly after striking the pins. The ehgineer states that if he had been running at the usual rate the entire train would have been ditched. | Otijo Trouble, Belt,atre, 0., June 4.—A representative from the seat of the miners’ troubles at Wheeling Creek says conditions are ripe there for a bloody encounter. Four hundred miners are in camp at that point and will allow no trains hauling coal tp pass over the line. The miners are thoroughly ugly and will not listen to reason. Thogovernor has refused to call out the troops unless there should be actual violence committed. Waite Swears Again. Cripple Cheek, Colo., June 4.— A conflict between deputies and the Bull Hill miners is expected at any time. Governor Waite emphasizes with ar oath bis refusal to call troops. ■ aeH-,
