WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 18.—
The signs of revolt upon the part of
the powerful minority party against
‘the administration so completely
dominating the actions of Congress
are today more than evident and
several speakers dwelt upon the
lack of confidence shown in the
methods of administration and the
fact that the houses of Congress
were asked to grant powers and
pass laws for purposes which they
did not understand and which were
not revealed to them.
The House can easily interrupt
business, if this policy is persisted
in.
LOCAL ITKMS.
Almost all clay yesterday there
were no developments in the situa
tion as far as the Pioneers Co.'s
employees and the management
were concerned in the matter of the
former's demand for higher wages.
Practically nil camps were deserted.
The men who stayed behind arrived
either yesterday morning or the
night ' before. It was understood
that an effort had been made to
reach a compromise settlement of
the difficulty but the men insisted
upon being paid the scale of five
dollars and hoard. It was said that
foremen were trying to get men to
go out to the ditch camps to look
after them and to wmrk on the
ditch for the scale demanded, name
ly five dollars and board, but it is
not believed that these were suc
cessful in their efforts. The men
feel that they are entitled to be paid
as much now as for summer work
on the opening of navigation. They
rightly point out that their labor
now is just as esential a part of the
mining operations as piping when
the flow of water is on. They must
make enough to live upon during
the summer for the rest of the year
because in staying here they get
no work during the winter. With
the high prices that prevail here
during summer and winter, they
hate all they can do to make ends
meet even with a five dollar scale
from the day they go to work be
fore the opening of navigation. It
was stated by one of the men that
Mr. Stevenson disclaimed any au
thority to advance the scale paid
without authorization from Jafet
Lindeberg and that he had to wire
out to get in touch with the presi
dent of the company before he
could do any such thing. It is prob
able that the outside official has
been acquainted w'ith conditions
here and an answer may have been
received on this subject before this.
With evident signs of rain and the
volume of water increasing greatlv.
the need of men on the ditch is sell
evident and quite easily excels of
water could do much more damage
in a few honrs than the whole wago
in dispute would amount to.

GILL HAS FORMER FRIEND
FORECLOSE A MORTGAGE
SEATTLE, May 17.—Mayor G '11
is up against it again, this time in
a financial not a legal way. A
former saloon man foreclosed a
mortage for fifteen thousand dollars
on Mayor G ill's home and the place
is to be sold in satisfaction of tue
loan.
Gill declares that the money Is
ready for the former saloonist. He
was not worrying although this was j
all part of the conspiracy or orga- !
nized frame-up against him. It
was part of the general plan to
drive him out of the city, but he
was there to stay. j
Gill’s enforcement of the dry law
is making him lots of enemies who
are using every means to destroy
him.

gration of the government until
such time as the socialists them
selves were prepared to administer
the industrial republic, were the
strongest factors in bringing about
a settlement among the warring
factions in the Duma.
