Colorado Conservatives "Will Appeal to
Pocket-Books in the Silver Fight.
A special of Monday from Puelilo
states that the more conservative ele
ment of the people of Colorado realize
that the recent silver convention held
it Denver accomplished nothing to
ward the purpose for which it assem
bled. A proposition is on foot to call
mother convention, which shall aim at
the pockets rather than the sympathies
if those whom it is hoped to convert
to the ideas of the west.
The proposed convention is to be
joinposed of business men, and the
direct object which is sought is a com
bination among the merchants with
the intention of diverting the trade of
Colorado and adjacent states from the
wholesale trade of the east to that ol
the south.
It is argued that New Orleans is
much nearer to the Rocky Mountain
states than either New York, Boston
or Philadelphia; that it is a seaport
centrally located, from which can be
furnished every article needed by the
west upon terms equally advantageous
with those at present obtained, It is
believed that by diverting this volume
of trado from its accustomed channels
the eyes of the eastern opponents of
the silver bill will be opened and theii
assistance may be enlisted.
FERTILIZER MANUFACTURERS

of Columbus; Mr. G. W. Mclver, Mr.

Charleston, S. (!. Tho object of tho
meeting was to formulate a system for
branding fertilizer sacks in ft uniform
manner. The law in every state is
different about the wording on these
sacks. Tho meaning on nil of them is
about tlio game, but the wording is
different. It was tho object, of this
meeting to take steps looking toward a
uniform wording on tho sacks from
different states.

.iiorc Carriers Are Ncrdni.
On Wednesday the attention of Act
mg Postmaster General Jones wascall
ed to complaints of n number of post
masters which have appeared in the
newspapers reflecting on tho postoflico
department because of non-compli
ance with their requests in tho matter
of allowances for letter carriers. Mr.
Jones said that there was no question
that New York city and a large num
berof other cities were actually in
great need of additional carriers and
more facilities for carrying on the
work of the department, while it
would afford the department pleasure
to comply with these requests, vet, as
a matter of fact, it was powerless to 1
do so, owing to the insufficient appro' ,
priations
A Trcnsiirv 1(osier.
The department of state has just |
issued a register containing some new
features. One of these is a historical
etch of every secretary and assistant j
from Thomas Jefferson down ,
the present day. Another is a
of the persons in the diplomatic ,
consular service, which is inter
from the exhibitions of the nu
officers who have remained in
years undisturbed by the mills
of politics. The nestor of tin
corps appears to be William
Campbell, who was originally April ap
consul at Rotterdam 27,
The new register also disclos d .
reform much affecting tin methodsof
state department itself. For many
the clerical force lias been organ
under a system which placed each
in charge of corn spondenee on
specified subjects. As a con
it has happened that other- som
were unduly taxed, while
comparatively idle. The regi -
shows that this practice has been
; tliat the various special
i designations have been done away
I with, and that all of the clerks, tn the
diplomatic bureau for instance, are
subject to assignment by the chief of
the bureau to any work on hand.
ATTACKED BY STRIKERS.
Desperate Conflict Between Miners In
Weir City, Kansas.
A special from Weir City, Kan., says:
The expected crisis has come in tho
miners’ strike. Miners who are willing
j work quietly and peaceably have
been attacked by tho strikers, and
blood has been shed. Tho feeling which
has been growing more and more bit
j fi ter for battlo several days Clement’s culminated pit, in a
eroe at twelve
mi ] os south of the city, Thursday. All
day there was evidence of au approacli
j ng B torm, and tho feeling was uni
versnl that serious trouble was at hand.
Over one hundred shots were fired,
and it is nothing short of a miracle
that nobody was killed. One man was
wounded iu tho forehead and in tlio
log, a boy in the foot and one of the
women get a bullet through her arm.
None of the wounds are fatal, and it is
believed that none of them are dan
gerous. A number on both sides were
badly beaten up with clubs and elub
God guns. The wouqdod were quick
ly removed by their friends and their
names have not been learned.
Just before noon a band of 500 of
the strikers, headed by 100 women,
which laid been marching to tho va
rious strip pits, reached Clement’s
pits and sent in a committee to per
suade the working miners there to
quit. The miners refused to do this,
and when the eommitteo reported the
entire body of marchers moved on tho
workers to force them out. Tho strip
men were ready for them, and when
tho trespass line was passed, they were
fired upon, and a general battle en
sued, in which Winchester rifles, pis
tols and chilis were used.
As the result of the buttle the men
in the strip were routed by the strik
ers and wore forced to flee for their
lives, pursued by the howling mob,
which would have lynched them had
they been caught. Tho excitement
continues at a high pitch, and further
bloodshed now seems inevitable.

ANTHONY DREXEL’S WILL.
What Disposition Will he Made of His
Thirty Millions.
Tho will of tho late Anthony J.
Drexel was probated at Philadelphia
Thursday morning. Petitions for tho
probate stated that Anthony J. Drexel
died June 80, 1893, at Carlsbad, anil
that tho valuation of tho personal es
tato was SI,000,000 and of tho real
estate 81,000,000. Under tho law of
Pennsylvania, when tho estate ex
ceeds those figures it is not impera
tive that tho excess should be probated.
By the will Mr. Drexel dovises $1,
000,000 to the German hospital at
Philadelphia, and if1,000,000 as a fund
for tho establishment of a public art
gallery in Philadelphia. IIin books,
pictures and works of art are given to
the Drexel institute. Ho creates six
separate funds of $1,000,000 each
for tho benefit of the six children
left liypi is deceased daughters. He pro
vides for tho acquirement of his estate
for the full of The PuhUe Ledger af
tho demise of Mr. George W. Childs,
in accordance with an agreement now
iu existence, and leaves within tho
discretion of his executors whether
corporation powers shall bo secured
for tho control and maintenanco'of
the Drexel building and of The Public
Ledger. He provides for the coutin
uaneooftho Drexel interest in the firm
of Drexel A Co., Drexel,Morgan & Co.,
and Drexel, Hurjes <t Co. Mr. Drexel
further devises the sum of 8500,000 to
James W. Paul, Jr., his son-in-law,
us u token of his affection, and he fur
ther provides that, in case of tho
death of George W. Childs Drexel,
without leaving issue, there shall ho
given $500,000 to his widow in order
that she may bo left properly provided
for. The estate is generally believed
to be worth $30,000,000, and it will be
seen by the document itself that fully
$8,000,000 is directly disposed of.
