Never since the settlement of Idaho have there been such enormous crops as during the present season. The product of grass and grain has been wonderfuL This Is the result of a change in the climate, produced by the multiplication of Irrigating canals, which moisten a great extent of country and create a humid atmosphere. It is believed by men of experience, who have lived on the arid belt for the last forty years, that the time is not far distant when lands lying far above where water can be directed will become arable. Formerly there wore no rains in June. Last year there were two after the Fourth of July, and the rainy eeason this year has been unusually prolonged. Colorado had tho same experience. If the grass crop has been large there Is use for It. for the last two winters have been favorable for stock raising, and tLe number on hand is estimated at nearly double that of two years ago.

CATTLE THIEVES KILL AN OFFICER. They Are Caught in Charge of Eighty Head of Stolen Stock., Three officers of Fremont County, Wyoming, went Into Jackson hole and found eighty head of stolen cattle In a corral, with brands freshly changod.

Their camp, located about ten miles from town In the mountains near Grand River, was accidentally discovered by a resident of town while searching for strayed horses. He was held up by their sentry, but when he explained his mission he was allowed to depart unmolested.

BIG GOLD FIND IN COLORADO.

There Are Millions in the Gulches of Park County. Recent gold discoveries In Park County, ;he oldest mining county In Colorado, are lestlned to surpass all previous finds. The iource of the placer gold produced In Tarryall Gulch, the leading gold-producing district of Park County, which has since 1856, when It wn9 first discovered, been a mystery, has been located In the veins of the SUverheal's Mountain at the bead of the gulch. A new camp of over 1,000 people has been established there within the past thirty days surrounding hills are black with prospectors. All the- Iron-stained prophyry found in these mountains is rich In gold, while the gravel Is also rich. “There Is $25,000,000 In coarse gold In the gulches around Tarryall,” said W. F. Kendrick, one of Colorado’s most prominent mining men, who has Just returned to Denver from the new discoveries. “The gravel is twenty feet In depth, and Is worth from 25 to 70 cents In gold per cubic yard. Beaver Creek Gulch, in this territory. Is now turning out not less thaQ SI,OOO per day In gold." Many Denverites are daily leaving for the now discoveries In Park County. EVADE THE RESTRICTION LAW. Fraudulent Certificates Furnished to Chinamen at San Francisco. The San Francisco Examiner charges that certificates of Identification of Chinese who may wish to land In this country are being disposed of there In violation of the Chinese Restriction law. The Examiner states that It has in Its possession a certificate purchased from Hy Chang, a Chinese lawyer of that oity, who has been a student at both Yale and Columbia Colleges, and who agreed for the sum of SIOO on the delivery of the certificate and $l4O bn the safe entry into this country of the Chinaman holding the certificate to procure complete Identification under the terms of the law of any Chinese who might desire to land. In this case : a mythical person was chosen by the extnslper, but was made to appear In the certificate, which bears the seal of the Chinese Consulate, a 9 Owyany Cum Tong, an opium merchant, who was on his way to China, but who intended returning to the United States. Chang, In his negotiations with the newspaper representative, who concealed his Identity, Intimated that other Chines* and some of the customs officials were implicated In the transactions. TO TAR AND FEATHER A JUDGE. Chased by an Angry Crowd for a Decision to Exclude the Evidence. An exciting scene was enacted in the Criminal Court at St. Joseph, Mo., during tho trial of a seduction case. A lawyer named Thomas Winn, who had been elected special Judgo to try the case, sustained a demurrer to the evidence and discharged the defendant, a wealthy young farmer named Charles Farris, without giving the Jury an opportunity to pass upon the merits of the case. The court-room was crowded, and as soon as the court's decision was announced the angry auditors made a rush for Winn, and had they reached him It was their intention to treat him to a coat of tar and feathers. Winn escaped through a back door and has not since been seen. Proceedings have already been commenced to disbar him from practicing at the Buchanan County bar. A party of farmers Is still looking for Winn, and If found there Is no telling what will be done with him. DANGERS OF IMPORTED DISEASE. Tho Canadian Steamship Line Too Handy In Some Respects. The Toronto medical health officers are complaining of a new danger from the Importation of contagious diseases by the new Canadian steamship line from China and the East to British Columbia. Already there Is a small epidemic of smallpox at Victoria, caused apparently through the absence of proper quarantine arrangements on the Canadian Pacific coast Dr. Allen. Toronto’s medical health offlcer.says this Is a new danger we have to contend with. The first case of smallpox was Imported to Victoria. B. CL, three or four weeks ago, but it appears the other passengers on the steamer were not quarantined. Small-pox, cholera and leprosy, the Doctor said, constantly prevailed In the countries where the ship trade Is, and It Is even more Important to have proper quarantine arrangements at Pacific than Atlantic ports. THE STRIKE SPREADS. Carnegie’s Men at Pittsburg Go Out Because a Conference Is Refused. The employes In the upper and lower union mines of the Carnegie Company la Pittsburg, Pa, quit work at noon Thursday, and the gas was turned off In the furnaces. The men In all tho departments are out and the mills will be shut down. The men struck because the company refused to confer again with the Homestead men. It Is the most remarkable Iron strike on record, the firm having signed the Amalgamated scale for the ensuing year. The employes of the Keystone Bridge Company are non-union and will not strike unless forced to. Nothing has been heard from the Beaver Falls plant, but the men probably struck there also, as threatened. FRUIT CANNERS IN A PANIC. The Sudden Rise ol Fruit on the Pacific Coast Causes a Sensation. California fruit canners are almost In a panic over the rapid advance In price of all fruits and the prospect that the orchardlsts will repudiate their contracts. Threequarters of the canners have contracts for apricots at 1% cents per pound, or S3O per ton, yet at presont sales are quoted at 2% &i%. c. per pound. If the growers keep faith with the canners the latter will make big profits, but If the contracts are broken the canners will lose heavily and some may be driven to the wall.

WILL THE LEADERS. Over Two Hundred Strikers to Be Proceeded Against. A Pittsburg dispatch says: The fact that no steps have so far been taken by th« Carnegie company In the direction of Instituting criminal proeeedlngs against tb< Homestead who were concerned In th« attack upon the Pinkertons Is not, so it li semi-officially stated, to be taken as an indication that the company proposes to remain Inactive In the matter. The men who resisted the lauding ol the guard 4 and who participated In tbeli maltreatment after their surrender are tc be prosecuted to the bitter end. The Carnegies are simply waiting to see what action, If any, the prosecuting authorities of Allegheny County propose to take In the premises, and If, after the lapse of what may be regarded as a reasonable period, there Is no disposition on the part of these authorities to move In the matter, then Mr. Frick himself will take the initiative and warrants will be sworn out for the arrest of every man wnc Is known to have been on the mill property at the time of the riot and the killing ol the Pinkertons Oyer two hundred name! of such men are now In the possession of Knox & Reed, the attorneys for the company, to whom the entire matter has been referred for action. The specific charge! to be made against the men who have been “spotted” is that of accessory to murder Is the first degree. ALICE MITCHELL ON TRIAL. The Defense Prepared to Prove that Freda Ward’s 81aver Is Insane. At Memphis, Tenn., the trial of Allcs Mitchell on her plea of present insanity was begun In the Criminal £ourt Monday morning In the presence of a large numbei of people. The defense holds that when Alice, 18 years old, manifested an aversion for mqp and loved a maiden 17 year! old with the devotion and Intensity of a man and prepared to marry her and planned to elope, she was crazy. The Btate will contend that Miss Mitchell did have a groat regard for young men and will show that she not only flirted with the othet sex but that she carried on a voluminout correspondence with men, some of them unknown. Jail life has agreed with Miss Mitchell, for when she raised her veil In the court-room she looked as fresh and plump as a well-fed country glrL

WAR IN THE WEST.

*N IDAHO COUNTY UNDER MARTIAL LAW. Che Union Mon Threaten to Blow Up tho Mines When the Troops Arrive—Bloody Conflict Probable in the Talley—Rushing In Holdlers. They Know No Law. A Boise City (Idaho) dispatch says: Gov. Willey has issued a proclamation placing Shoshone County under martial aw. Word has been received that shree companies of Federal troops from Missoula have arrived at Mullan. The other troops have not been heard from. Adjt. Gen. Curtis, who is in command (or the State and who went to Coeur i'Alene in advance of the outbreak, has not been heard from and it is feared that he has fallen into the hands of the strikers. A dispatch to the Governor trom Judge Heyburn at Spokane says that union men drove 132 non-union miners out, firing on them -and killing LWO. At Portland, Ore., the Union Pacifto Company has received word from Coeur d’Alene that the Northern Pacific railroad bridge, together with several hundred feet of track, was blown up by B?rikers west of Mullan. The company is preparing to take all non-union mea out of the mines to Tekoa. The union men assert that the moment troops appear on the scene they will blpw up Bunker Hill, Sullivan, Sierra Nevada and Gem mines. The burning of the bridge near Mullan will hold troops there, unless they march on foot to Wallace and Wardner, a distance of about ten miles. It is now reported that the union men have taken Van B. Belashnutt of Portland, William Sweeny and other mine owners and will hold them as hostages until the trouble is Settled. It is reported that the telegraph Vrires to Wardner have been cut. Superintendent Dickinson of the Northern Pacific telegraphed the Governor from Tacoma that their tracks and bridges have been destroyed in the vicinity of Mullan and Wallace, and that wires have been cut. They will hold the county responsible. Another message to the Governor says that several non-union men have been blown up and that the union men propose to fight the troops to the death. A special train over the Union Pacific left Portland, bearing 200 troops of the Fourteenth Infantry from Van Couver, Washington, for Caur d’Alene mines. A special train over the Union Pacific arrived at Pendleton, bearing troops from Idaho. Two companies have left Fort Sherman for the scene of the trouble. In all about 700 United States troops and militia are on their way to the mines. Gen. Schofield has ordered as additional troops to the Coeur d’Alene district four companies of infantry from Fort Spokane, Washington, a troop ol cavalry and six companies of infantry from Vancouver barracks, Washington. These troops, with those previously ordered from Fort Sherman and Fort Missoula, will give Col. Cartin an active force of nearly 800 men.

WILL CLOSE SUNDAY.

The SenateTTakes Decisive Action in th« Matter. The United Senate, by a vote of 51 tc 14, has approved the $5,000,000 appropriation in aid of the World’s Fair. Attached to the appropriation is the following important proviso: “That the appropriation provided in this act shall be upon condition that the said World’s Columbian Exposition shall be closed on the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday.” Another condition of equal importance has been attached, although it is likely to be struck out on a reconsideration. Ii is as follows: “Provided the sale of intoxioating liquor on the Exposition grounds shall be prohibited, except for medical, botanical, of scientific purposes." The final contest on the World’s Fair items came up in the Senate Wednesday afternoon as the climax to the three successive days of debate which) have been given the subject. Through a fiction of the Senate the bill was not before the Senate itself, but before the “committee of the whole” for preliminary revision and amendments. It was in this committee of the whole that the important action was taken, so that there is still opportunity for change when the committee of the whole reports to the full Senate The votes were so decisive, however, that there is no possibility of change upon the $5,000,000 appropriation or upon the Sunday question. According to a Washington dispatch, there is a cer: ainty that an effort will be made to strike out the liquor prohibition, and, as this was passed by only two majority, the prospects are that the prohibition will be eliminated. The two Illinois Senators who voted for the liquor prohibition have determined to change their votes, which is sufficient to change the narrow majority which was given on the first vote.

Too Hasty.

Doctor Brunton, in an address lately reported in the London Lancet, was cautioning his hearers—the members of a medical society—against hastily expressed opinions as to the nature of patients’ diseases, and emphasized his warning by two professional anecdotes. Jie was once present at a clinic, the subject of which was a man evidently suffering from some disease of the heart. An unnatural murmuring sound could be heard from that organ, and the pupil of one of his eyes was very much dilated. The peculiar appearance of the eye seemed to have some connection with the cardiac affection, but various opinions were expressed by the different students as to what the precise nature this relation could be. The discussion was just becoming Interesting when the patient remarked that his strange-looking eye was made of glass! At another clinic the professor in charge was discussing learnedly about the importance of attending to minor symptoms. “Now gentlemen,” be said, “in the case of this woman here, certain things should be confidently affirmed from the condition of her teeth.” He was proceeding to particularize, but just then the patient broke in i upon him. “Please, sir,” she said, as she took out her teeth, “I will hand them round; the young gentlemen might like to look at them closer.”

Femininities.

We hear of men sowing wild oats, but who ever heard of a woman sewing anything but tares. Miss Tompkins says that every unmarried lady of forty has passed the Cape ot.Good Hope. An Indiana woman claims to have worn a corset for seventy years. A rather protracted stay. Glynn County, Ga., has a woman hermit who has only spoken to three persons in sixteen vears.

M’LUCKIE IS IN JAIL.

Manager Frick Mow Begin* the War la Earnest. Monday was the most excltiDg day at Homestead since the battle between the strikers and the Pinkertons. The boast of Chairman Frick that work would be resumed in the mill by nonunion men was not realized, but the Chief Burgess of Homestead, John MeLuckie, is in the Allegheny County Jail charged with murder, and warrants are out for several other strike leaders. The Carnegie,isfficial states that other strikers wyjU bje prosecuted from day to day until ale who have been prominent In the trouble at Homestead have been punished or forced to leave the country, and the strikers claim that within twen-ty-four hours. Chairman Frick and other officers of,;the Carnegie company will be arrested on the charge of murder. The informations against the strike leaders were made by Secretary F. T. F. Lovejoy, of the Carnegie Company, and were made against Hugh O'Donnell, the leader of the strikers; John McLuckie, Burgess of Homestead; Sylvester Critchlow, Anthony Flaherty, Samuel Burkett, James Flannagan and Hugh Ross, who are collectively charged with the murder of T.-J. Connors and Silas Wayne the morning of July 6 during the riot. Connors was a Pinkerton man, 30 years of age, and lived at 80 Bond street, New York. He was struck on the back of the head with a dynamite bomb and had his right arm crushed. Wayne was a young single workman who lived with his parents in Homestead. He had his head shot off with a cannon ball fired from the opposite side of the rivdr while standing with his brother In the steel yard. Therte are two separate informations against the defendants, and only vary in the names of the victims. A short time later Burgess McLuckie appeared at Aid. McMaster’s office and announced that he was ready to answer the charge of murder preferred against him. The* Alderman then had a commitment issued, and he was placed In jail. Before going to jail McLuckie 6aid he courted a thorough investigation. The other defendants, he said, had not left the city to escape arrest, and that all would be on hand.

Workers, will be the Demo ratio candidate for Congress in the Twenty-second District. For sOm< lime past a few 01 the Democratic leaders have been pulling the wires to get a candidate who would be considered a formidable opponent tc John Dalzell. The

WM. WEITE.

field has been carefully examined and the availability and political strength of a number of Democrats has been weighed and it was not till yesterday that Mr. Weihe was announced as the Moses tc lead the Democratic hosts through the wilderness. He was chosen because oi his influence in labor circles* When Mr. Weihe stated that he would retire from the presidency of the local labor organization it was alleged he would enter polities, but some of his friends denied the report. The report to make Mr. Weihe the Demooratie Congressional candidate has been closely guarded. Several weeks ago W. J. Brennen, Chairman of the Democratic County Committee, said that his party would have a candidate to oppose Mr. Dalzell, but he positively refused to give the name of the man selected. Last evening, however, a reporter obtained positive informatioi that Mr. Weihe was the candidate.

DVER A SCORE LOST IN THE PEORIA DISASTER. ManjpPerson* Yet Unaccounted For Believed to in th* Cabin of the Overturned Boat—story of the AccidentThe Storm Came Up with Awful Rapidity. Found Watery Grave*. Twelve bodies have already been recovered from the wrecked steamer Frankie Folsom, and sixteen persons are yet to hear from, telegraphs a Peoria, 111., correspondent. The bodies of the following named persons are recovered: The Rev. J. H. MtjMetn, Benson; Mrs. Fred Fisher; Cora Fisher; John H. Arends, Pekin; Mary Flatt, Pekin; Mrs. Henry Duisdecker, Pekin; Mrs. W. G. Willis, Pekin; Miss Lottie Shade, Shelbyville; Miss Lottie Butler, Pekin; Mrs. Kate Beebe, Pekin; Grant Heppler, Streator; unknown body of a young.glrl. Divers who were sent down near the wreck reported seeing four bodies crushed under the wreckage. These cannot bo gotten at until the boat is righted. Nearly the > whole 'excursion party was composed of the better class of the population of Pekin and Delavan. Never since the Chatsworth disaster has there been any such excitement here. The burst with remarkable suddenness. Above the roar of tlje wind and thunder the cries of the passengers on the Folsom, as they clung to spars, guards, aDd pieces of furniture, could plain’y be heard, while at each succeeding flash of lightning the wreck could be seen by thousands who lined the river bank In the face of the drenching rain.

The storm did not last long. It blew up with rapidity little short of marvelous, and as quickly subsided. The rain continued, but the danger was over, and soon more than a score of rowboats were slowly' bringing passengers to the shore. Everything possible was done by the citizens and officials. Patrol wagons, ambulances, and nearly the entire police force were ordered out to assist In oaring for the rescued. Miss Heppler, of Streator, was rescued in an insensible condition and removed to a house. It is impossible to tell whether she will recover or not. James Thomas is in the hospital. A swinging timber struck him, terribly crushing a leg. The search for bodies was prosecuted all night. Mrs. Kate Beebe, of Pekin, is known to have been lost. She was on deck at the time of the accident and must have been washed overboard. Her father, Fred Zuckweiler, was dragged out of the wa,ter as he was going down the last time. No trace of the daughter has since been found, and all thoughts of finding her alive have been abandoned. John Smith has not been seen since the accident, and he too must have perished. Immediately on the approach of the storm women took refuge in the cabin, a small room, closed the doors and shut the windows. When the boat capsized they were as if in a prison with no means of egress. Was Returning from Lake View Park* The steamer was returning from Lake View Park, where a speotaoular production of the “Last Days of Pompeii” had been given. The crew numbered five. The evening had been pleasant, but during the latter part of the performance there were mutterings of a storm. It burst suddenly with great violence when the boat had gotten out in the middle of the river. Edward Loesch, the captain, was in the pilot house when the storm struck. He attempted to head the boat for the shore, and as he did so the wind caught it and capsized it. Most of those who were on deck rushed to the upper side, and were in this way saved. Capt. Loesch helped all he could to put on life preservers. He pulled up two women who were struggling out of the cabin. When the beat began to sink a whistle was sent up for aid, but in a few moments the boilers were under water. Word was sent to the police station and Mayor Warner ordered out at once all the policemen, the patrol wagon, and ambulance. The Folsom lay about 100 yards from shore in sixteen feet of water, and was about two-thirds under water careened over on the side. There was not an available tug in the city. The Longfellow, which was struggling near the Folsom, made a landing as soon as she could, and hurried her passengers ashore. It was the intention to go to the aid of the sinking boat, but the wheel got caught in some manner, and great difficulty was experienced in getting away. Meanwhile numerous small boats were put out, although the rough condition of the river rendered the mission very perilous. Rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew in fierce gusts. All of the steamer above water was covered by half-drowned passengers clinging to the upper deck, one side of which showed ; ust above the surface. When the first relief boat appeared, men and women leaped from the steamer and swam to the boat. So many attempted this that they had to be driven back with oars in order to keep the little boats from being swamped. Four persons were brought off in the first boat, and after this the work of rescue went on rapidly. Mayor Warner had ordered out a number of hacks, and as fast as the people were brought off the steamer they were placed in hacks and driven to places of shelter. The river is being dragged for the bodies of those that are still missing.

Omaha and the Crow.

There is probably no city in the United States where the common wild crow makes himself as much at home as in Omaha. Here they are as common almost as English sparrows or tame pigeons, and evince about as little fear of man. All through the winter months, especially when the ground is covered with snow, this beautiful and intelligent but very mischievous bird is a common sight on our by-streets and lanes, and often in the very dooryards In the center of the city. They 6eem absolutely without fear of man or boy, and when busily engaged in the enjoyment of a meal can be approached within a few yards before they will take wing. This is all very strange to people who have lived in the Eastern States, where the crow is considered the shyest and most wary of all wild birds. Just now they are at their thickest in and about Omaha, and great flocks can be seen every morning and evening flying over the city. In the evening their line of flight is from the South and southwest to the north and northeast. In the morning they traveree the same flight hack again. For years and years the birds have roosted in the forest of low willows east and north of Cut Off Island, and when the sable hosts are congregating thither in the shades of evening the spectacle is a wonderful one. Omaha’s escutcheon would certainly be incomplete without the graven image of the cunning and industrious crow upon it.—Omaha Bee. A thief arrested down in Georgia now turns out to be a detective. He probably wanted to test the axiom that it takes a thief to catch a thief

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At the Nation’* Capital—What I* Seine Done by the Senate and Bonce—Oidi Matter* Xttsposed Of and New One* Considered. The Senate and House. ■The silver question, which has been before the LUd Congress ever since last December was finally settled in the Hous® the 18tb. The bill Itself was not voted upon, but on the test vote taken on th® resolution reported from the Committee on Buies to take up the bill for consideration, free-silver-coinage was defeated by a majority of 2A The Senate, by a vote of 51tol* approved the $5,060,000 appropriation in aid of the World’s Fair. Attuched to the appropriation is the following proviso: “That the appropriation provided for In this act lhall be upon condition that the said World’s Columbian Exposition shall b® closed on the first day of the Week, commonly called Sunday." Another condition Is as follows: “Provided the sale of Intoxicating liquor on the Exposition grounds shall be prohibited, except for medlcaV botanical, or scientific purposes. ” World’s Fair legislation Is again th® property of the House. The Senate, on th® 14th, passed the Sundry Civil bill with various amendments relating to the Exposition. Sunday closing Is made ironclad, but former action in prohibiting the sale of liquors on the grounds is reversed and that matter left entirely to the Exposition management As the sundry civil bill came from the House It merely appropriated the remainder of the 81,500,000 provided for In th® bill of the Fifty-first Congress for the running expenses of the Government exhibit and the National Commission, with a* proviso that the Government exhibit should b® closed Sunday. The Senate Increased th® amounts for these purposes A»y 8500,000 and added the new propositions for souvenir coins and for payment of awards, making the total Increase over the House in th® neighborhood of $6,200,000. It also mad® the Sunday closing apply to the entire Exposition. The House was occupied In minor business

On the 15tb the field of operation of th® World's Fair bill was removed from the Senate to the House, and the final termination of the controversy was brought In sight by an agreement of unanimous consent that a vote should be taken at 12 o’clock on the 19th on all the World’s Fair propositions, Including the $5,000,000 appropriation, the Sunday question, the liquor prohibition, and other amendments which may be offered. This amounts to a vote of th® previous question and cuts off the chance of filibustering which some have believed would threaten the bill during the last days of the session. At no time were there more than sixty or seventy members out of the total of 836 on the floor of the House, apd by actual count there w ere just fifteen members on theJtepubliean side and thirtysix on the Democratic at one time during the debate. On the 16th the House resumed consideration of the World’s Fair appropriation bill. Many five and ten minute speeches were made, some favoring and some opposing an appropriation. The chief points of difference, however, relate to Sunday closing. The session of the Senate was notable chiefly for an angry encounter between Senators Harris of Tennessee and Sanders of Montana No business of Importance was transacted.

MARKETS ARE ACTIVE.

The Crop Reports Stimulate Business Throughout the Country. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s weekly review of trade says that crop reports promise results not equal to last year’s, which would be disastrous, but beyond expectations. With the decrease of only 6 per cent, the wheat yield would be far beyond the quantity consumed and exported in any year except the last, and nearly equal to last year’s consumption and exports. The pride dropped below 84 cents, but has since been stronger. Western receipts are large, 1,80b,000 bushels In three, days, and exports 771,000 bushels in the same time. Com acreage shows a decrease of 4.4-per cent., and the price has dropped 3$ cents during the week. Oats have also declined two cents, while hog products are stronger, pork 25 cents per barrel, and ooffee and oil unchanged. The cotton reports show condition only 2 per cent, below last year, and on any estimate of acreage the yield, with the surplus still in sight, will more than meet all demand for the year.

This ant That.

There is but one sudden death among women to every ten among men. Mexico has appropriated $900,0h0 fdr her display at the Columbian Exposition. South Carolina is the only State in the Union in which no official record of marriages is kept. The first river and harbor bill was passed.ln 1800, and it called for an expenditure of $25,000.
