Leadville, Col., September 22. ?Thestrike A9 iKa fKrtnen m I n uro rtf TH T?i 11A VI IUC uigui kuvusauu UitUWiO Vl oulminated yesterday morning at 8 o'olook^ when the Coronado mine, operated by Denver men, was blown up with dynamite. The worKS were badly damaged, four men were killed and six others were taken to the municipal hospital. The olty was placed under martial law, the saloons were closed and order was temporarily restored. Sheriff Newman, of this city, and Judge Ow- ns, of the District Court of Lake County? called upon Governor A. TV. Hclntyre for troops. The Governor at once issued the . call, and before dayliffht almost the entire military force of the I (if U State were on rout6 for I Kl i jfX the scene of the trouble.

They State troops.) were armed with rifles and dynamite. The first blew up the boiler room of the Coronado mine, and when the speolal police guards attempted to protect the property, kept up a constant fire from their rifles for more than an hour. Citizens, aroused by the heavy explosion, armed themselves for defense, and the Fire Department was called out to quench the flaiues oaused by the dynamite explosion. Then the rioters interfered with the work of the firemen, cut the hoso and mercilessly killed "Jerry" O'Keefe, who was bravely fighting the flames in the face of the constant firing. This was the most atrooious crime committed during this lawless attack. But tho bloody work of the strikers was not confined alone to the Coronado mlue. A lawless mob gathered around the Emmett a little while after the attack was made on the Coronado, but the men at the Emmett were ready for the attack, and wb$n the crowd appeared they fired such a'SQlleyof bullets lsto them that thev found It "tnttaXe to go further lnthelr nefarious work. Not one of their members wero killed, but Jerry Mahoney, a miner living near the Resurrection, who happened to be coming along the road at the time, walked between the ^ , ?*rikers and the men on the inside, and with the flrst volley was shot dead. The entire National Guard of the Slate, aggregating nine hundred men. comprising cavalry, infantry and artillery, are in possession of the city. The mine managers say the riot has broken the strike, and that from to-day there will never be a union man employed in this camp. Strikers say they will remain, even If the mines are started, but as the employment cf strangers here Is extremely hazardous, the departure of militia may mean another outbreak. Climax of a Louc Strike. The strike began on June 10 and has par* alyzed business, caused hunger and suffering in hundreds of families, and has cut down the mineral output of the camp more than one-half. This bloody battle is believed to be the last desperate one of the radical element of the strikers to force the stoppage of all mines that are not paying the increased scale of wages demanded by the union. Many of the strikers have asserted all along that they would "clean out the State," and even Government troops if brought here, rather than see outside labor come to the camp. The mine managers, who at flrst refused to recognize the unioD, flna Iv offered a compromise, but this was rejected, aud all efforts by citizens and others to terminate the strike since then have failed. PENSION OFFICE REPORT. A Statement That the List Will Hence* forth Steadily Decrease. Dominio L Murphy, Commissioner of Pensions, has made his annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30,1896, to Secretary Francis. He says: There were added to the rolls during the year 40.374 nsw pensioners, and there were restored 8873 who had Been previously dropped, a total of 44,247. During the same period the loses were 29,393 by death, 1141 by remarriage (widows), 1034 by legal limitation (minors), 2552 uosause of failure to jlaim pension for three years and 93j3 for other causes, an aggregate of 44,093. The net 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 stealy diminution. The whole number of pensioners on the roll June 3J, 1896, was 970,673. While the rolls shew a slight gain in numbers over the year immediately preceding, the amount disbursed for pensions was 5138,214,761, a decrease of ?1,592,575 as compared with the previous year. There were 595,664 pension claims pending at the olose of the fiscal year, 231,337 being applications for Increases made by persons now on the rolls. Although lust year's estimate of ?140,000, 000 for pensions was $1,790,620 more than was necessary for the past llscal year the Commissioner duplica'.es that estimate for the next fiscal year. Th? fnmmlwInnHr snva the navment of Touchers has workod satisfactorily and opposes a return to personal payments. There are 601 United Stated pensioners in Germany. Regarding the revising of the pension list the Commiasioner says: "Th?re is no foundation for the erroneous impression that it is the intention eilll further to revise the lists, as the purging of the rolls commenced in 1393 has been entirely accomplished. Through the combined efforts of the Law Division and the Special Examination Division there has been refunded to the United Statesdurlutt the year $20,982, of which 820,726 was recovered as tho outcome of eight civil suits." He recommends an increase to $12 per month of pensions to survivors of the Mexican War and also recommends pensions to widows of officers and soldiers who died from causes originating In the service prior to March 4,1S61.

Anglo-Effyptian Expedition Reaches Its Goal. DERVISHES BADLY DEMORALIZED. No Ileslstance From the Followers of the Mahdl in Taking: the City Which They Had Deserted?'The Town of El Haflr Also Captured After a Hot Engagement?Grain-Laden Boats Captured. Cairo. Egypt, September 21.?A dispatch from tho An<?lo-Egyptian expedition states that Dongola, the objective point of the ex- I pedition, has been taken without meeting with any resistance from the dervishes, the place being unoccupied. The dispatch adds that the town of El Haflr, north of Dongola, to which place the dervishes retreated, was captured after a hot engagement. After the place liad fallen into the hands of the expedition the Egyptians captured twenty-seven grain-laden boats, the loss of which will prove a severe blow to the dervishes. The latter made desperate attempts to recapture the boats, but a heavy fire was poured into them bv the troops and the gunboats, and they were finally compelled to abandon their attempts to regain possession of the boats and their canroes. After their defeat the entire dervish force retreated southward upon Dongola. At the same time the expedition's steamers started for tne same place, aud, being the quicker, reached there before tho dervishes. The city was found to be deserted by warriors, and the steamers at once landed a force of infantry to hold it until the arrival of the main W*/UY 1 IUO GA('OUlllVU. At the time tho dispatch was sent the dervishes were approaching Dongola overland, and scouts reported that they were carrying many of their wounded with them. Included among the wounded are some of the most noted chiefs. It is expected mat as the dervishes are without food or other stores they will make a most desperate attempt again to get possession of Dongola. El Haflr was not taken by the troops until after a most stubborn resistance on the part of the dervishes had been overcome. The riflemen of the latter fought behind wellmade mud forts and in trenchas that were strewn with mats. Those defenses, however, were soon wrecked by the heavy fire of the Egyptian artillery and the Maxim battery that was manned by the Connaught Rangers. Tho dervishes stood the lire oravely, but were finally compelled to withdraw from the nlace. Their cavalrv took no Dart in the en gagement, remaining some distance off in the desert, watching the result of thobattle. When the British and Egyptians lunded the entire force retreated southward. The capture of the place was hailed with delight by the natives, who have long been harried by the dervishes. They shouted, dancea and sang in a frenzied manner, and hailed the expedition as their deliverers. Tho country around El Haflr Is fertile, and there is plenty of green fodder for the camels and other animals of the expedition. STORM BROUGHT RUIN.

Moody, the Evangelist, Issues a Call tp Christian Citizens. At a meeting of ministers in Chicago, presided over by D. L. Moody, the Evangelist, the following call was issued: To the Christian citizens of the United 8tates: We, in common with a large number of our fellow citizens of every religious and political creed, believe that our Nation is in the throes of a great conflict, portendingthe most serious consequences unless there be a merolful Interposition of the Divine Hand. We beliove this to be true independently ol any settlement of the present Presidential contest one waj or another. On the one hand, that mysterious factor known as "public confidence" is declining, as illustrated bj the depression in both financial and industrial circles, while on the other hand political, class, and even sectional feeling is running unusually high and likely to become integer as the day of election draws near, Not only is It true that questions requirino the most careful and dispassionate consideration are very likely to bo determined in many Instances in the heat of passion, but after their determination the results ma; prove baneful over a wide surface and for a lengthened period. We would not view the situation, perplexing and foreboding as it is, outside of its relations to the mind ol God. We therefore affectionately invite and earnestly urge our Christian fellow-citizen< throughout the length and breadth of oui land, irrespective of denominational orpolitical alBllutions, to join with us in observing Thursday, October 8, as a day of fasting confession, and prayer to Almighty God that He will allay passion and restrain evil among us; that He will strengthen faith and inspire hope; that He will impart wisdom and be> ntnw natience. and that He will forgive out iniquities as a'Nation and grant us His sal> vat ton.

FALLIJfO 1XTO DI8FAV0B. Thoughtful observers recognize that alcohol as a medicine is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, says one of our contemi poraries. Ten years ago loading medical men and text-books spoke of stimulants aa essentials of many diabases, and defended thejr use with warmth and positiveness. To-day this is changed. Medical men seldom refrr to spirits as remedies, and when they do, express great conservatism and oautlon. The text-books show the SAme changes, although some dogmatlo authors refuse to recognize the change of practioe, and still cling to the idea of the food value of spirits. Druggists who supply spirits to the pro* fesqion recognize a tremendous dropping oil In the demand. A distiller who, ten years ago, sold many thousand gallons of choice nhioirioc nimnat BTflluqivalv to medical men. has iost bis trade altogether and gone out oi business. Wine men, too, recognize thii change, and are making every effort to have wine used in the place of spirits in the sick* room. Proprietary medicine dealers aw putting all sorts of compounds of wine with iron, bark, etc., on the market with the same idea. It is doubtful it any of these will be able to secure any permanent place In tnerapeutics. The fact is, alcohol is passing oat of prao? tical therapeutics because its real action is becoming known. Facts are accumulating in the laboratory, in the autopsy room, at the bedflde, and in the work of expert*' mental psychologists, which show that alccn hoi is a depressant -and a narcotic; that it can not build up tissue, but always acts as q degenerative power, and that its apparent effects of raising the heart's action and. quickening functional activities are mislead* ing and erroneous. French and German specialists have denounced spirits both as a beverage and a i medicine, and shown by actual demonstra* tion that alcohol is a poison and a depre* sant, and that any therapeutio aotion it U assumed to have is open to question. All this is not the result of agitation and i wild condemnation by persons who feel deeply the sad consequences of the abuse ol' spirits. It Is simply the outcome of the /immnloflnn nt fnr>fqthnf havft heart. proved within the observation of every iB :houghtfui person. The exact or approil mate facts relating to alcohol can now be H tested by instruments of precision. We cao JH (velgh and measure the effeots. and It is not H assential to theorize or speculate.
