Yard, ‘who refused to be sworn or to testify before th Keystone Bank investigating committee. The refusal of Yard to be sworn and the subsequent entering of a euit by the city solicitor to compel him to submit bein: sworn raised a delicate question of constitu- tional law. Yard bas been indicted by the grand jury for criminal conspiracy with vr lie ¢ ex-City Treasurer Bardsley to unlawfully use the public funds. The contention of Yard's counsel in their arguments before the court of common pleas was that city councils had no authority to appoint a committee vested bee team © compel citizens to RI be- fore them and testify under oath, and that in addition under the Constitution of the United States every man is guaranteed the right to answer no questions beforea tribunal of justice that will tend to criminate himself.

After s Stormy Session the Chairman Clears the Room. Loxpos, July $.—At the meeting of commit- tee “A” of the royal labor commission, which took place today, there was a stormy exposition of views, which resulted in the court being cleared by order of the chairman. The excitement commenced when Mr. Donovan, a stevedore, was questioned in regard to the composition of the chipping federation, and, in reply, began a warmly worded speech, which seems to have so disturbed the earl's fectings that he peremptorily silenced the lore. ld steved: ‘Ben’ Tillett, the well-known labor leader, followed Mr. Donovan, and be also commenced the delivery of what seemed to be a long speech upon labor matters in general, when the Earl of Derby stopped him impatiently, =. “I cannot listen to all ee details. indly condense saying that tl a 7 co-operate in the work, erect workshops an find employment for all. ae ‘The state, according to Mr. Tillett, should provide technical education for and adults, and should find the necessaries of life for all, Mr. Tillett added that, in his opinion, if a lady would not work she ought not to eat. “The state,” continued the labor leader, “should be the universal employer, and as it was the recognized duty of the siate to teach convicts a trade, the state shonld at least ex- tend, the same henefit to the poor non-crimi- nals.

Los Axoeces, Cat.. June 8.—The desert fake at Salton caused a surprise yesterday by the fact that the water receded in the morning, but commenced to rise again, showing that the limit has not been reached. A dispatch re- ceived from Salton yesterday afternoon said: If the water comes from the Colorado river there must now be enough between here and the river to nearly fill this basin and most likely reach the main line of the Southern Pacific. All the flat part of the basin is now covered with water and the depth will increase much faster. Section men are making effort to save the railroad spur. but the water is very hot and it is feared the men cannot endure it. ‘The water is warmest at the bottom. Two out- fits were started out by Superintendent Muir of the Southern Pacific, one from Salton and the other from Ogilby.| Both parties started in wagons with a supply of water and pro- visions and they will make an effort to locate the exact spot where the water comes through ‘the sand bilis from the Colorado river or New river as the case may be. The Colorado river is almost aa high as it was last winter on account of melting snow in the mountains. The operator at Salton tel- egraphed last night that the water waa rising very slowly,but there was nodanger of it reach- ing the main track, the present rate it will ¢ six months to do so, and long before that time it is believed the desert will be dry from ion. ble report from Salton states that the boatsent out by the railroad company was forced to return, they having traveled twenty- five miles on the desort lake. ‘The force of the current made further headway impossible. ‘The latest news received reports the till rising. The theory advanced that water now running into the Salton basin is caused by the barrier washed out on the Colorado river last year near Pilot Knob is exploded by the fact that the flood of February this year carried twice the amount of water of that of a month ago, and would have run into the desert if an inlet ex- isted. Careful investigation proves that the barrier between the Colorado and rim of the desert was only a ridge of four feet. ‘This was ascertained in vey made several years ago. ‘The Colorado river has been falling for over » week past, and is lower today than the same day last year. Ifthe water is running from the gulf the amount must increase daily, as the difference in the level ig itnes ton says a strong A late teh from wind last night forced the north shore of the new lake back about 200 yards. pec uaetemnel THEIR EDU AL CAMPAIGN.
