Associated Press Dispatches.
Seattle, Wash., June 30.—Everything
waa quiet at Franklin today, the pres
ence of the militia on the ground be
tween the hostile forces restraining both
from continuing the race war; but from
Newcastle and Black Diamond come
threatening rumors that denote serious
trouble in the next forty-eight hours.
There are now 200 negroes at work at
Newcastle. The strikers have done
nothing yet, but are reported to be mak
ing secret preparations for some decisive
move. Company D, National Guard of
Washington, at Franklin, has been
placed under marching orders, and will
be taken to Newcastle, thirty miles
away, in a special train held in readi
ness for the purpose, at the first intima
tion of trouble there.
At Black Diamond the situation has
changed for the worse, when the miners
struck six weeks ago, it was not because
of any dissatisfaction with the Black
Diamond company, but because of sym
pathy with the miners who had been
driven out by the negroes
taken into Franklin by the
Oregon Improvement company, which
is a rival of the Black Diamond corpora
tion, and it was supposed the men
would return to work as soon as matters
could be settled. The miners agreed to
return to work upon the old terms, but
today they notified the superintendent
that if they returned the Miners' union
must have the employing aud discharg
ing of all men. This the superintend
ent refused to accede to, and he imme
diately posted notice that any white
man who wishes work may secure it
whether he belongs to the union or not.
Black Diamond is only a short distance
from Franklin, and the camps will
"probably join forces in fighting the two
corporations. A detachment of militia
is held in reserve to g3 to Black Dia
mond upon a moment' 6 notice.
At .G'laau. the home guards, nos -
posed of miners, are drilling !
daily. The Seattle Coal and
Grain company has been sending
up a' few non-union miners daily, but
they have been met at the train by
a large body of armed men. A large
number of guards and deputy sheriffs are j
at Oilman for the pupose of protecting
all those who wisti to work, but out of \
100 men sent, only eight or ten have
dared to stay, and these have a strong i
guard protecting them day and night.
It is thought that the company will j
take on several hundred men tomorrow,
protected by Company F.,now assembled
at the armory here, and that the mili
tary guard will be maintained until the
strikers give up the conflict. A large
number of rifles were shipped to Gil
man from Tacoma today.
It is thought that within the next
forty-eight hours every coal mine in this
county will be manned by non-union
miners, working under the protection of
the National guard. It is feared that
serious trouble will result at all places,
as there are over 1000 strikers who
will see in the introduction of negro
and non-union labor, the disappearance
of their last hope of employment in the
mines of King county.
A special from Franklin says: Tiiis
was a day of quietness and mourning in
the camp of the strikers. The funerals
of the men killed in Sunday's riot occu
pied nearly the entire day. The ser
vices were held at Black Diamond, four
miles distant, in the afternoon. Every
white miner in the camp, headed by the
Franklin band, composed the cortege. A
committee called upon the military to
protect them while passing through the
black camp, and an escort was furnished.
A patrol was also put on the flats
to protect the homes of the miners
while they were deserted by the strik
ers, as the negroes had threatened to
seize the first opportunity of cleaning
out the homes of their enemies. The
bodies of Morris and Williams, the dead
strikers, were put on freight cars, and a
line of militia stood between J;he funeral
cortege and about four hundred grinning
negroes while the preparations were be
ing made for the train to leave. Not a
word, however, passed between the two
parties.
GAVITT'S SAD FATE,
The Coroner* Jury ltd ii mix a Verdict of
Accidental Death.
Lancaster, June 30, —A reporter, to
day, visited the scene of the conflagra
tion which resulted in the death of Con
stable Gavitt. Everything was found to
be totally destroyed. The shots which
were heard by many of the neighbors
around were doubtless caused by the
ignition of a box of cartridges, and" to a
rifle and pistol which were loaded, going
off before the fire had wholly burned
out. The neighbors who were around,
although seeing the constable's body in
the flames, were unable to get the
body through the intense heat. As
soon as possible all that was left of the
deceased was put into a coffin. The
coroner held an inquest late last evening,

death, caused by burning, through set

dle. Gavitt was about 07 years of age.
He had but a few months ago been ap
pointed constable.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
A Conflagration at Madera—Field Fires
at San Rafael and Sonoma*
Madera. Cal., June 30.—This place
was visited by a most disastrous Are
th is afternoon. About 5:45 o'clock flames
were discovered issuing from a shed in
the rear of C. Curtin's stable. In an
instant the blaze was communicated to
the livery stable. The fire spread rap
idly. The stable was a mass of tire in a
few moments. The adjoining buildings
were frame and the hard work of the fire
department proved unavailing,as every
thing burned like tinder. Two or three
fine horses in the stable were burned so
badly that tliev were afterwards killed.
Loss, $37,500.
San Rafael, Cal., June 30.—The fire
which started on Mt. Tamalpais, yester
day, has greatly increased. The Haines
spread from Williams gulch,
at the foot of the mountain,
to A. E. Kent's estate and
destroyed the outbuildings. If
the lire is not checked here it will spread
to Ross valley and destroy many of the
handsome residences there. Calls for
volunteers to ficflit the lire have been
answered from San Francisco and San
Rafael. Three men engaged in fighting
the flames are missing, and no trace of
them can be found.
Sonoma, Cal., June 30.—A grass fire
broke out alongside the track of the
Southern Pacific railroad and communi
cated to the farms of Harry Arsher and
Charles Fillipini, destroying 200 acres of
pasture and a quantity of fencing.
Fires also broke out on Sear's and Ring
strom's ranches, but were speedily ex
tinguished. The thermometer registered
101 from noon until ti p. in., without
any change whatever.

SLAVIN THE WINNER.
A Very Even Fight Finally Results in
the Defeat or Smith.
San Francisco, June 30. —Billy Smith
and, Jack Slavin. the Australian heavy
weights, fought at the Occidental club
tonight for a purse of $1150. Slaviu'a
seconds were Billy Slavin and George
Dixon. Martin Murphy and Abe Willis
were behind Smith. The principals
weighed 103 pounds. The first two
rounds were productive of no result, but
in the third Smith forced Slavin to the
ropes with the apparent inten
tion of making short work
of the contest. The fourth round,
however, was warmer, and Slavin, after
frequent jabs from Smith's left, landed a
sounding right on Smith's ear. In the
fifth round Smith landed on Slavin's
ear, which nearly brought the latter to
hia knee.
From the sixth to the tenth, Smith
frequently changed his tactics from
leads for the chin to right and left hard
drives for wind. He staggered Slavin
near the close of the tenth round
with a clean left hander on
the chin. Smith convinued to
have the advantage in the next
three rounds, but the fourteenth
round was prolific of surprises. After
some fiddling in tiie middle r»f the r\ r r
Slavin caught Smith on the jaw, send
ing him to the floor. It was a clean
knock down, and as he rose Slavin
lushed on him, playing right and left
about his head. The round closed with
Smith spitting blood.
Slavin assumed the offensive in the
fifteenth, but little was done. In the,
sixteentii Slavin sent Smith again to the
floor with a light-handed swipe ou the
jaw. The contest, however, was a slow
one, and it was an open question as to
the result.
The fight progressed in about the
same way until the thirty-first round,
when Smith drove Slavin to the ropes
and pounded him hard.
Smith continued to force the fight in
tbe next three rounds, but in the thirty
fifth Slavin rallied and made Smith do
some dodging to escape his blows. In
the thirty-seventh a left-handed smash
on Slavin's jaw aroused excitement
among the spectators, but the sound of
the gong prevented Smith from finishing
him. In the thirty-eighth Smith
planted his right into Slavin's ribs, stag
gering him, following up with left swing
for jaw. Smith was puffing but con
tinued to force the light. The thirty
ninth was a repetition of the rushes on
Smith's part.
Slavin was knocked down in the
fortieth. Smith concluded to rush in
the forty-first, but his blows lacked
force. From the forty-second to forty
eighth tiiey continued hammering each
other.but blows lacked force and failed to
make much of an impression. Slavin
continued cautiously to seek Smith's
jaw with straight left and right hand
counters, and near the end of the forty
seventh sent Smith through ropes to
floor. The sound of the gong saved him
from being counted out. Smith had not
recovered from the effects of hia fall
when he came in the centre of the ring
in the forty-eighth round, and Slavin
sent him down for the last time with a
left hander on the jaw. Slavin was de
clared the winner.
A CHANCE BLOW.
Van Heest Defeats Dan Daly by a
Fluke.
Minneapolis, June 30.—The fight be
tween Johnny Van Heeet, of this city,
and Dan Daly, of Bangor, Maine, for a
purse of $700 came off tonight at the
Twin City athletic club before a good
crowd. Both men weighed in under 122
pounds and were in good condition.
Van Heest won the fight in the twelfth
round. During the entire fight, the
Minneapolis man rushed and clinched.
Daly stopped the rushes in fine shape
and had Van Heest groggy in the fifth
round and would have probably finished
him but for the call of time. Prom that
time until the twelfth round it looked as
though Daly, who was playing a wait
ing game, would win. Van Heest'a left
eye was badly cut and the blood flowed
profusely. In the twelfth Van Heest
landed three body blows and following
this with a rush, got in a right-hander
on Daly's jaw. Daly reeled and fell and
before he could rise was counted out.

THE RAILROADS.
THE ELECTRIC ROAD SUCCESS-
FULLY OPERATED.
Several Trips Made, Showing That the
Machinery is All Fight—More Building
by tho Santa Fe—Not^s.
The first car went over the tracks of
the new Belt Electric street railway yes
terday afternoon. Although the wire
had barely been stretched over the rails
and the roadway was clogged up and in
bad condition, it was decided to make
the trip, and the machinery was accord
ingly started up at about sp. m. The
car was boarded by the superintendents
of construction and a number of work
i men and moved off at a good pace. Care
was taken at all turns and the car was
slowed up after proceeding a distance,
so as to avoid any accident, but the
dynamos worked as if they had been in
successful operation for months and not
a hitch was met with till the hill was
reached on Second street.
From Broadway and Second on to
the end of the line the' track was
so covered up with dirt and obstruc
tions that it was deemed best not to
proceed further till it had been cleared
off. Accordingly the car was returned
to the power house on the Bame track,
going apparently as well backward as it
did forward.
At 9 o'clock in the "evening the same
I car was started out again, the track hav
ing been all cleared off and the curves
well lubricated. On this trip the
dummy was loaded with a number of
prominent citizens who take an interest
in the road, and were anxious to ride
over the line on the first trip.
The whole line was traversed on this
trip and everything appeared to work
smoothly. Stops were made at the
curves, and these were passed
slowly, so as to avoid any trouble,
but on the straight-away the car dashed
along at a good speed, far exceeding that
attained by the cable cars. The hill on
Second and First streets was mounted
with periect ease, thus doing away with
all doubt as to the power of the cars to
go up steep grades. On the return trip
a slight delay was experienced at the
corner of Second and Olive, through a
minor defect in the construction of the
curve. This will be easily remedied,
however, and no trouble is anticipated.
Further trials will be made today and
the company hopes to carry passengers
regularly over this division of the line by
the Fourth.
THE SANTA FE's HIGHLAND BRANCH.
The Santa Fe company will this morn
ing recommence the construction of the
Highlands branch of their belt line to
San Bernardino, which now extends as
far as the insane asylum station. This
will complete the citrus belt line extend
ing from San Bernardino to Redlands,
Mentone, and back on the north by way
of East Highlands and the asylum.
The construction has been delayed by
right of way difficulties, but yesterday
General Manager Wade succeeded in
clearing these all up, and ordered the.
construction department to commence
work this morning.
NOTES.
Receiver Polk of the San Bernardino
motor line, on Saturday night laid his
track on a stretch of road in San Bernar
