The band has been raiding Oh Texas
for the past five years, and the authori-
ties have always failed to induce them
to come on the reservation. They have
been anxiously looked for almost every
year by the Fourth United States cav
airy on the Stsked Plains under com
msnd of General Mckenzie, but seldom
were they or any portion Of them found.
Texas will be rid. of a troublesome
enemy. But one small band of the
Apaches are now out, and it is rumored
they will follow the example Of their
Quahada friends, which would leave the
Southern Staked Plains free from hostile
Indians.

NEW YORK.

Nav York, June LA dispatch from
PottsvilleA says; 1t is the general belief
among coal operators and other w%ell-in-
formed citizens that the miners strike
will end within a fortnight at the furth-
est, and probably will not outlast the
present week. The final surrender of
the men will not be simultaneous, but
one eolliery after another will6nd hands
enough ready to abandon the Union to
begin operations. To protect them the
assistance Of thetroops will be needed
until the strike is definitely abandoned.
To-day the following collieries, includ-
ing all those stopped by the raiders on
Thursday. will be at work at the wages
offered BY operators last January: The
East Mahanoy and Elwood at Mahanoy
City, belonging to the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron Company; FIVE
collieries at the same place operated by
individuals; West Shenandoah, at Shen-

county alone from the Eve months sus-
pension of all mining operations is esti.
mated at $40, 900, 900, of which sum the
men lose s., 700, 900 in wages. IL they
should carry their point they could not
make up this loss by the difference be-
tween the old and the proposed new
wages in four years, but as they will GER
tainly be defeated the whole of this vast
sum will be a total loss to them,

Mr., Biggar, NJ. P, has carried his
point. In order to bring into disrepute
the absurd rule Of the House of Com
mons which enables a single member to
have the galleries cleared by aunounc-
ing that he sees strangers" Mr.. Big.
gan persisted in seeing strangers at all
timea and seasons, 80 that even the
Prince of Wales was hustled from the
gallery 10 compliance with the demand
Of the irrepressible member. When the
House had overcome its first spasm of
indignation, it concluded that something
must be done at once to check Bigear.
aud the Marquis Of Harrington moved
that the House should not entertain any
complaint with respect to the publication
OF its proceedings, except in cases Of
wiliul Misrepresentation or when publi-
cation is prohibited, and that strangers
shall not be obliged to withdraw unless
they are d%iserderly, or by special diree-
ton Of the House" This motion came
up yesterday and it was defeated: but
the end was accomplished by the passage
Of a motion made by Mr.. Disraeli. 10 The
effect that II attention is called by anv
member 10 the presence OF strangers the
House shall decide by division whether
they withdraw. Thus Mr.. Birgar did
his country a service BY destroying a
practice which was so silly as 10 he
almost idiotic.

had completed the filling Of some fats at

the influence Of ~chloroform, died this

that it was doubtless a suicide. The
only motive known is that he was sub

to effect his reason. 1t is supposed he
took the fatal step during such attack.

COUNTY SEAT JOTTINCs.

The Toledo Democrat: "The discussion
Wood county bribery business, was sim
tainly equaled the worst exhibition of de-
pravity ever given in the Legislature OF
South Carolina"
That county seat question OF Wood cans-
ed the Legislature much time and trouble,
but the people of that county will have the
fun of a long campaign, as the vote on the
proposition is put of until next October.
A hot newspaper fight during the summer
with the thermometer at 1902 will be fine
fun for outsiders. We will bet five dollars
on Timmons. The fight is hardly fair,
however, as Perrysburg has two live news
papers while Bowling Green has but one
and poor one at that. Perrysburg had
the county seat wrongfully taken from her
and should have it back.-Onawd Co. Ns'rS.
