Norman, Superintendent of Prisons Wade, Labor Commissioner Ford and Sheriff Rutherford wili have a conference this afternoon and decide whether troops have been legally called out and whether they shall be sent to the mines or tako a peaceful journey home. At the conference this after- noon the correspondence which hus passed be- econ the governor and the sheriff hp to date relative to the present trouble will be sub- mitted. ‘THE SITUATION VERY SERIOUS. Sr. Lovw, Mo., July 22.—Maj. R. H. Dudley of Naxbville, Tenu., is in this city fresh from the sceué of the miners and militia at Coal Creek. Mei. Dudley regards the situation as very fefious and fears that blood will be shed befor@ it is over. “The miners.” be says, “number some 700 or 800 and are resolute and determined men ‘and well armed with shot guns and revolvers.” ‘The militia sent ont to guard the convicts were ata great disadvantage. he said, and the result of their exmpaign is not to be wondered They numbered only some 100 mer and the vi- f 4 was in a valley, where the convicts” waa lo- cated, and they were exposed to the miners onthe hills from all sides. Had they fired into the miners there is no deudt that they Would all have been slaughtered. | Under the circumstances I think they acted wisely in gracefully retiring and bringing off with them the convicts. Gov. Buchanan is telegraphing ail over the state for prilitia to be burried forward and is determined to enforce the law and pro- tect the contractors in their rights to work the convicts in the mines. ‘TROUELE IN OTHER STATES.

A slight man, wit dark eyes and a haggard appear- ance, stood a short distance inside the entrance to the hall with n large revolver in his hand firing toward the lofty ceiling.

Coremnes, Ouio, July 22.—One of the most sensational scenes that has ever occurred in the courts of this or perhaps any other county in the state took place today in the Elliott trial. Prosecutor Huling had just begun to address the jury and was explaining away some of the misstatements made by the defense, when W. T. Elliott, the murderer, iroxe in bis chair and shouted that the prosecutor was a liar, and added: “It i have to hang 1 want to hang like a gentleman and don’t want my relative traduced.” Mr. Huting commanded the prisoner to sit down, but he refused to doso, and Sheriff Custer and the jailor were obliged to go over aud seat him. Mr. Huling declared that what he had said was true, and after dinner he would prove it by showing the testimony to the jury. Mr. Huling had been referring toan article in the World, which the defense claimed called J.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Torexa, Kax., July 22.—Leading republicans who spend most of their time in Washington know little about the real condition of poli- tics in Kansas. Senator Ingalls insisted a year ago that he would be triumphantly re- elected. He had three times been chosen United States Senator by the republican party and he knew there was no ground for fear. He took into account only the opposition of the Farmers’ Alliance. He did not realize that within bis own party there was a disposition to give some one elae achance and to let him rest ‘on the honors the republicans of Kansas bad thrust upon him. HOW INGALLS Lost. So the campaign of last year became an In- galls and anti-Ingalls campaign. A great many leading republicans who felt that cighteen years in the United States Senate was sufficient for ‘one man smothered their wrath and gave him their support for the sole and only pur of saving the party. The fight was made and Senator In, carried 27 out of 125 represent- ative districts, while the candidates for state officers on the republican ticket carried 55 dis- tricts. It is reasonable to suppose that if the bs jeu had been made for republicanism instead for Ingalls, 55 republican representatives would have been elected instead of 27. With the 88 hold-over republicans in the Senate this would have given the republicans 93 votes on joint ballot, or a majority of 10 over all. This proceeding has been a clear lesson to the republicans of Kansas. ‘Ihe sentiment that the republican party is bigger than any man is freely oxpressed, oud three yeara from this date the party will not be tied to the can- didacy of any man. Senator Plumb’s term will expire at that time. That he will be a can- didate for re-election no one doubts. SENATOR PLUMD'S VISIT. He recently made a flying trip to Kansas to ascertain the sentiments of leading republicans regarding the strength of tho new Peopl party and tho future of Kansas politics gener- ally. Ofcourse Senator Plumb is ignorant of the real situation here. A man located in bab ewry api who spends no more than one mouth in each year in this state can have no correct conception of the real situation. But the senator had mapped out a plan, and he came out to Kansas to instruct the republicans how to handle the enemy. He had a plan which would bring back all the old-line repub- licans who had strayed into the people's part It might not work next year, but in 1894, when the Senator's political fortunes wore again in the ,wheel, he believed it would work out all right. His plan was evidently borrowed from his democratic brother Senators and members from the sopth. TBE SENATOR'S PLAN. It was to take Jerry Simpson, Mrs. Lease, Senator Peffer and the entire alliance flock to the republican bosom and show them that the Eepablioane of Kansas were really in love with them. “Don't abuse these leaders,” was Plumb's ad- vice to the republican editors and stump speakers. ‘Tell them that they are in the main right, and that the republican party will et around to their views in a short time. But Aon'tight them. ‘Treat them as the ‘demos erate in the south do and you will control them and they won't know it.” This advice to surrender to the alliance and people's party was amet with # rebuke from every prominent republican with whom Sona- tor Plumb talked. Such a policy would not be considered fora moment in Kansas. Here it was that President Polk, Congressman Living- ston and other southern democratic leaders first sowed the alliance seed, and for the sole and only purpose of disrupting and disorgan- izing the republican party. ‘These men laid the foundation for the greatest fight that has been made against the republican party since the days of Jim Lane, and the war waged on this new movement wasequally as bitter on tho part of the republicans. ‘To change its policy and take these wild-idead agitators to their bosoms and _ accept their ruinous dogmas, sub- treasury andall, would be a complete surrender and Kansas would become tho asylum for the cranks of earth instead of romaining the home of the freemen, who have builded a Great state, making its foundation of justice and its super- structure of patriotism. THE PLAN DENOUNCED. Senator Plumb’s plans of handling the new people's party is roundly criticised by all lead- ing republicans in this state. If the senti- ments of scores of leading republicans count for anything Senator Plumb will either have to transfer his baggage into tho new party or join in with the rank and file of the republicans and fight the people's movement from this time on. Ho cannot occupy a half way position and re- tain republican support. IN WALL STREET TODAY. ‘The Stock Market Opened Firm to Stronger, but Later Lost Its Firmness.

Commissioner Douglass’ Indorsement on a Communication Kecelved Today. Commissioner Douglass all along has been averse to permitting the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company to ran its cable tracks over the parking on the south side of C street between Now Jersey avenue and Ist street. He was rather pleased this morning at the receipt of the following letter from a resident of Capitol Hill: “Dear Sir: Some weeks agoT requested per- mission to play tenuis on the parking in front of our stable, which is situated on North Caro- lina avenue southeast. My request waa then refused and one of the members of the board told me that the reason was that it was against the law. “I have noticed that you have given the Wavhington and Georgeton Railroad Company permission to use the parking to run their arson the same. Now, since you have con- sented to overlook the law in their case I hopo You will find it possible to do the eame in my ‘Mr. Douglass referred the communication to Mr. Ross, indorsing it upon the back: “With the request that, this conundrum be answored by the two B.'s.” ’ MISCELLANEOUS.

Some who have heretofore been disposed to regard the publica- tions on the subject as midsummer “fakes” aro now talking of it as a matter worthy of attention, not that they believe that thero is any truth in the reports, but be- cause they have become interested to discover the motive for the assault. Nearly every time Mr. Bh 's name has come before the public in connection with the Pretidency stories of shattered health have mn insidiously circulated. ‘Ono of the most astute politicians in any way connected with the administration, one who holds « high position and has long been promi- nent in public life, eaid tow Stax reporter to- vr “I nm greatly puzzled by this seemingly systematic assaylt upon Mr. Blaine. Tam pete fectly satisfied that Mr. Blaine's henlth is not such as to alarm his friends. I know in & general way that the alarming stories are fgise. A’ first I thought they were merely the result of the dull season, and that writers were trying to ex- cite the interest of the public by circul reports about a man in whom every one is terested. I am convinced now that there is something. more than that in this business. I cannot conceive of any one who conld have both the motive and tho incli« nation to resort to such means of frightening Mr. Blaine out of tho _ presidential Taco, but that there is some settled Purpose to be served Iam convinced. I have not been able to get at the bottom of it. Like most men of his nervous, energetic temperament, Mr. Blaine is easily alarmed about his "health, and there is an impression in the minds of some that he Would not accept the nomination for the presidency if he thonght.the worry of the campaign would injure health. It looks to me aos if there were a purpose to provoke Mr. Blaine to some hasty action, such as a public declaration that ho would not accept the nomination, which would put him beyond the reach of the poplar call for him asa leader. But who would the disposition to do this in such a way?” eee Importing Lottery Tickets. Assistant Secrctary Spaulding has issued tho following circular to customs officers in regard to lottery titkets imported by mail. “Lottery tickets being subject to duty as printed matter under the provisions therefor in paragraph 428, act of October 1, 1890, the importation thereof by mail is prohibited by article 11 of the universal postal union convention, which forbids the sending by mail of “any packots whi containing ariicles liable to customs dut Such tickets and the printed advertiee- ments, &c., which usually accompany them are therefore liable to seizure and for- feiture as prohibited importations and are hereby excepted from the provisions of _ depar circular of June 2 1887, republished in circular dated the 27th ultimo, which authorizes the release of pro- hibited importations by collectors of customs Upon payment of a fine oquivalent to tho duty, when the importation, in the judgment of the colicetor, was not in willful violation of law and the apount of duty does not excecd €25.
