The White Miners Notify the Contracors to Clear Evanston of Coolies. Protection Hoped For from the Mil- itary, So That the Chinamen Oan Stay —All Quiet Yesterday. It was learned at Unlon Paclfic head- quarters yesterday that a notice had been erved by the white miners on Beckwith d | & Qalnn, the coal contractors at Rock Springs and Evanston, to remove all Ohinamen from Kyanston to-day, or otherwlse there would be a renewal of hostilities, which would be attended with serlous results, The Unlon Pacifio offi- olals confldently expect that the govern. ment troops will afford ample protection to the Chinese, and that they will not be obliged to submit to the threatening white miners, Nothing has as yet been ird from President Cleveland, but it Is thought that if an attack is made by the white miners the troops will protect the Ohinamen without further ordera. The atatemont was also made that ten years ago, when there was difficalty in securing white men to work the mines, a contract was made by the Unlon Paclfic to employ a certaln proportion of Ohina- men as miners. At the time of the rlot 00 miners employed at Rock Springs, ono-third of them being whites. The wages patd the Ohlnamen were the same a3 those pald the whites—from 75 cants to $1 00 per ton. The average day’s wages was $3, but some of the more sklllfal and Industrious whites made over $100 a month, Thls scale of prlces was always supposed to be eatlsfactory, as no complalnt has been made about the wages. Many of the white miners employed in the mines were Mormons, and they did not participate in the rlots. Large num- bers of them are now moving away for foar thore will be a repetition of the former troubles, Operatlons at both Rock Springs and Evanston are at a standsiill. As soon as protection is guaranteed by eithor the territorial or foderal authoritles work will be again commenced and the Chinamen will be again employed. WHAT THE MINERS ARE, A thorough understanding of the sltuation is fatal to whatever sympathy for the white miners which msy be born of the popalar prejudice againat the Chlnese, The miners at Rock Springs are chiefly Welsh, among whom there {s also a large olomeut of Fins, Neither of these seek cltizenship, nor can they, for the greater part, speak English. They are an igno- rant, fanatically rellglous, refeactory lot, engsged n the creatlon of trouble and dissens {ons all the while, They are not nearly so intelligent as the coolles nor as refined In their habl They are good miners, however, and thus make some amends for thelr troublous propensitlea. TROOPS AT THE MINES. Sunday afternoon a gatllng gun was shipped from Cheyenne to Evanston to be used in case of an emergency. At 6 o'clock Saturday morning companles B and E, under Col. Chipman, of the Sav- enth infantry, from Fort Steele, disem- barked from the csrs at Rock Springs statton. The town was scarcely astir and the few men about the depot regarded the arrlvsl of the troops indiffecently: The =moldlers at opce went Into camp quarters and will rewain there for a time. Their presence excites no remarks: from the miners, yet the men cling to former principles and declare that the coolles shall not return, At the sams tlme Sat- urdsy morning two companles of infantry, one from Fert Steele and the other from Fort Russell, arrived at Evanston and went into camp. A Unlon Pacific official remarked that he was surprised that this ontbreak at Rock Springs was not more general. He had thought, as well as the entire company management, that the whites at Carbon, Evanston and other sta- tlons along ‘the Unlon Pacific, as well as at Butte Oty ond along the Northern Pacific would take their cue from Rock Springs and then (facectously) take the queue of the Chi- namen. Mr, Evans, the underground esuperin- tendent at Rock Springs, who was driven out of town, has arrived in Omahs, Fut has nothing to say further than the de- tails which have been printed since the beginning of the trouble, eckwith & Quinn, the leading con- tractors, seem to be ‘‘Ina fix.” The rallway compavy has ordered that they shall fulfill thelr contract regardless of labor they are able of obtalning. The firm is now engsged in consultation with Governor Warren and the military au- thorlties for the purpcse of declding up- on the best course of action, GEN, SCOFIELD'S EXPLANATION, In response to advices from this clty, the Chicago Tribune obtained tho follow- ing explanation from Gen. Scofield, tho divislon commander, of the delay In re- plylng to Gov. Warren's oall for help,for- warded to him (Schofield.) Some inter- esting points on territorial milltary are also appended: A dspatch was recelved from Gov. Warren at the militsry headquarters in this city yesterdsy morning, mentloning the attack upon the Chinimen at Rock Spring ating his Inabllity to suppress the riot and cslling for troops, The tal- gram came through Gen. Howard's hesdquartere. Gen, Scofield forwarded the call to Washiogton for the actlon of the president, and wired Gov. Warren that he must ask the president for aesistance, hibited the troops for tuch a purpose without his or- der, A% the same time Gen, Schofield directed the soldlers at Fort Steele and Fort Bridger—the two posts nearest Rock Springe—to be in readiness to move the moment the order came from Washington. If the president had been there, answer could have been received in time to mct yesterday, but no orders had come when & Tribune reporter saw Gen, Schofield night, ““The constltution of States,” sald a well-known attorney, “‘provides for the calllog out of troops, elther the milltla or the military forcas of the United Siates, to euppress insarrec tlon in a atate, upoa the call of the gov- rnor of the leglalatore, but mothing is id about territorles. So 1t happens that the statutes, based upon the consti- tation, ssy nothing about the use f troops to supprees insorrect’on or disor der of any kind in a territory, and untii recently it was not the souree of any it was arsumed es & mat ter of course that the president had tho rlght to wse the troops t support terrltorial governments But then came what is called the posse comitatus act of cobgress, passed about two {nfl ago, prohiblting the formatlon of & posse comltatus in any osse except as provided by law. The result is there is no law providing for the use of troops to support the eivil govern- ment of a territory, and it is doubtfal if it oan be done. The only possible chance, in the absence of judiolal declsion, s ra- garding the lawa of the terrltory as Unl- ted States laws, whish they are to some extent, of course; then the president may make use of the military foroes of United States to enforco these laws, Certaln acts of congress for the govern- ment of the territories, It violated inany way, coald be properly enforced by the | M resident under the general laws, ut whether the acts of the leglslature providing for the ordinary protection of property and the enforoement of elvil rights, eto., could be regarded as laws of the Unlted States 1s very doubtful. There were United States troops at Salt Lake Olty not long ago, {on remomber, bat If there had boen a disturbance they could not have legally Interfered. As the torritorles have no militia and the United States troops oannot. Interfere In oase of a rlot, the people odt there must rely upon themselves for protection In sush an emergency. The question s a new one, and now that it has come up it will doubtless be discussed and settled.” e —— Eom, ‘mittens, leggings at Lehmann's, ————— PERSONAL, John R, Manchester arrived in the city ye:~ terday morning from the west. 0.
