The men within the inclosure re- turned the attack and a fusillade of bullets followed, but the dynamite did its work well. It is charged that the lawlessness of last night was due to a mob of strikers prin- cipaily from the Couer d'Alene country, who have long been breeding trouble in Leadville, and who, seeing that the strike was nearing an end, were determined to make a final stroke. This assertion 1s largely made by the peaceful miners of the camp. S Early last night there was every evi- 4ence that the strike was broken. Many miners had announced their intention of ing to work this morning. Today hundreds of miners say they will xo to work at once. They bitterly de- nounce the extremists and say their action bas lost the miners the strike. ‘The arrival of the militia is anxiously awaited, despite the apparent calm.

Commissioner Murphy's Report of the Opera- tions of His Office. The Roll Gradually Growing Smaller— Fewer Pension Frauds—Repairs to the Big Roof Needed. Deminic I. Murphy, commissioner of pen- sions, has submitted to Secretary Francis his first annual report, which covers the fiscal year ended June 30, 1806. He says: There were added to the rolls during the year 40,374 new pensioners; and there were restored 3,873 who had been previously dropped, a total of 44, During the same period the losses were 29,393 by death, 1,141 by remarriage (widows), 1,684 by legal Limitation (minors), 2,552 because of fail- ure to claim pensicn for three years, and 9,323 for other causes, an aggregate of 44,098. The ret gain over the previous year was only 154, and it may be now safely assumed that the roll from this time forth will show a marked and steady diminution, unless Congress saould enact still more liberai provisions than are now upon the statute books. The rate of mortality among our pensioners, particularly among those who served during the war of the rebellion, 1s rapidly increasing, the num- ber reported deceased during the year far exceeding that of any corresponding perlod in the history of the bureau. Not a Million. ‘The whole number of pensioners on the roll Jtne 30, 1896, was 970,678. While the rolls show a slight gain in numbers over the year immediately preceding, the amount disbursed for pensions was $18,214,761, a. decrease of $1,592,575 as compared with the previous year. There were 495,664 pension claims pend- ing at the close of the fiscal year, 234, being applications for increases made by persons now on the rolls, Although last year’s estimate of $140,000,- 00) for pensions was $1,7),620 more than was necessary for the pust fiscal year the commissioner duplicates that estate for the next fiscal year, stating that he be- lieves the adjudication of many cases will make the full amount necessary.

According to eyewitnesses, Fitzhugh struck the Beckett woman, and a number of bystanders, including Joseph Akin, who, by the way, is the woman's brother-in-law, nterfered and began assaulting Fitzhugh. The latter threw a glass, which struck Akin and caused the scalp wound men- tloned. Then Fitzhugh ran, followed by a large crowd, including Akin and his wife, Lizzie Morgan and Laura Brice. No one seems to know who stabbed Fitzhugh, but he was found on the M Street bridge over Rock ercek badly injured.

After a brief {llness William CrawTord Winlock, assistant in charge of office of the Smithsonian Institution, died in Bay Head, N. J., yesterday. Mr. Winlock was born at Cambridge, Mass., on March 27, 1850. He was the son of Prof. Joseph Winleck, who was well known as the professor of astronomy in Harvard University and first director of its observatory, and was, earlier in life, for many years in the service of the navy as superintendent of the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac; also serving in the United States naval observatory in Wash- ington as professor of mathematics. The young man was educated at Harvard Uni- versity, graduating !m the class of 1879, and it is interesting to note that among his classmates were Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Randall Webb, son of the late Com- missioner Webb of this city. He inherited a fondness for astronomy from his fathi and, soon after graduating, came to Wash- ington, and was appointed on the scientific staff of the United States naval ovser tery, then at the corner of 23d and M streets, the site which Washington had chosen for his National University. He was called by Secretary Langley of the Smithsonian Institution, on the death of Dr. J. H. Kidder, to fill the important office of curator of international exchang-s. tory that Mr. Langiey soon p assistant in charge of the offi to his other dutics. In this conn had charge of the vast correspondence of the institution. Later he was also made curator of physical apparatus in_ the United States National Museum. Mean- while he continued his interest in astroa- omy, and prepared the reports on “Pro- gress in Astronomy” for each year from 1885 to 1802, for the annual reports, as well as contributing frequent popular ar- ticles on astronomy to Harper's Weeily and other periodicals. He was prominent in scientific societies, and had been for many years the Philosophical Society of W. and to its transaction he contributed papers of 5: lue. He was als for some ye: tary of the Cosmos Club, and a ttendant at its meet- ings. Mr. Winlock had gained the ttle of professor from his occupaney of the cnair of astronomy in the Corcoran School of Science of Columbian University.

Effect of the Continued Inflow of Gold Coin anf Bullion. 1 AS OUTSIDE INTEREST IN THE MARKETS — Railway Earnings Continue to Be} Unfavorable. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS ee Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 21.—Under the influences of increasing optimism today’s stock market developed a remarkably steady tone, which, as usual of late, found greater reflection tn sentiment than in prices. The London market Is less unsym- pathetic than it was a week ago and a moderate demand for securities is reported from that center. The sale of £203,000 in American eagles by the Bank of England for export to the United States was an- nounced during the morning. Further with- drawals of coin are expected to follow from time to ume during the next fortnight. Foreign houses are confident that both England and France will send gold to this country instead of the burdens being shift- ed solely to the latter country, as seemed probable last week. ‘The continued inflow of gold coin And bullion has already had a favorable influ- ence on the volume of commission buying. ‘The activity of a firm usually represent- ing strong investment interests was gen- erally commented upon during the day as being incident to a return of outside par- Ucipation in the market. Purchases cf round amounts of at least a half dozen of the day's most active raiiroad shares were ved to have been made for clicnts not ustomed to margin transact 8. -ssional operations dominated prices, ourse, but the short account was notice ably less favored than heretofore, as the result of the foregoing signs of improve- ment.

Secretary of the populist na- ional committee, who was with Candidate Bryan for some time on Sunday as a p sonal friend, says that Mr. Bryan Is a man of such wonderful physical abilities as to inspire enthusiasm. He did not be- lieve that the candidate would break down under any strain, and says that he was a: fresa Sunday as if he “had not made a speech in ie campaign. Mr. Bryan expressed his pleasure to mem- bers of the local committee at the flatter- ing reception given him here. The cost of the affair about $1,200 and all bills are being paid today. The local committee had control of Con- vention Hall, which was at their disposal, but the meeting had progressed too far when the storm came to make a change 1t was understood afterward that Mr. n would have spoken in the hall and to whatever overflow crowd there might have been. William Dickson was one of Mr. Bryan's callers, by invitation, and held a prolonged interview or District matters. In present- ing the report of the comm on organ- izatior of vice presidents and arie Mr. Dickson said that in this campaign of misrepresentation on the part of our po- litical adversaries all who support the Chi- cago platform and nominees are classitied as anarchists, nihilists and opposed to good government. The list of officers represent- ed the mercantile, commercial, professional and industrial community of the national capital, who were foremost in the develop- ment and progress of the District and identified with works of charity and benev- olence. If they were anarchists he was proud to be among them.” ——+e-—- An Indian Agent Dead. Peter Gallagher, Indian agent at Warm Springs, Ore., is dead.
