striking miners were reinforced to-day
by accessions from the Hampton mines
along the line of the Pennsylvania rail
road. This will involve the force en-

coal-mines. President Costello, of the
Miners Association, asserts that not
single mine on the Monongahela river
is in full operation, and says that the
strike is the most determined one ever
arranged here. Several mills have
closed down in consequence of the fall
ure of their coal supply from the mines
included in the strike. No efforts look
ing towards compromise have yet
been made.

Agreement Between Russia and En-.
land.

[By cable to the Dlspatch.l
LONDON, March l3.-ln Tie House
of Commons this afternoon Mr.. Glad
stone announced that an agreement had
been arrived at between Russia and
England, by the terms of which neither
the Russian nor Afghan forces would
advance any farther on either side of
the frontier.
Sir Stafford Northcote asked whether
this agreement was permanent or
temporary arrangement?
Mr.. Gladstone replied that the agree
ment was without specific time-limit.
The best description he could give, he
said. was that the agreement was
to last as long as there was
occasion for it. Laughter.l This
agreement. he said, provides against
a rupture of friendly relations be-
tween the two governments in the
event of O collision between the Afghan
and Russian outposts, which might pos
sibly occur while instructions are being
conveyed to the opposing commanders.
William T.. Foster. Liberal member
for Bradford, asked whether this gree
ment was a new one or one which had
been supposed to be in force for some
time past.
Mr.. Gladstone replied that it was
new agreement-one that had grown
out Of recent correspondence and new
circumstances. He said he was unable
TO answer questions regarding the po-
sition assumed by the Afghans.
Densil Onslow, Conservative member
for Guildford, asked whether the
Amer of Afghanistan had accepted
this agreement.
To this question Mr.. Gladstone made
no reply.

A Novel Grow Hunt.

tits well known that crows, buzZards,
ravens and other similar birds attack all
owls, even the largest, in the day time,
az they are we'll aware that the bright
daylight blinds owls to such an extent
that it is impossible for them to defend
themselves; and for this reason th
huntsman uses a chained owl for attract
ing crows and other birds that he wishes
to destroy. The owl is chained on an
upright post or rod provided with a
crotch or small platform on which the
bird sits. This post OF rod is connected
with a rope or chain passing over suita-
Bile pulleys and extending to a hut, SO
that by pulling the rope OF chain the sup
port OF platform on which the owl rests
can be moved up and down, thus causing
the owl to move about, flap his wings,
and create commotion to attract the
other birds. A short distance from this
post low shanty or hut is erected, the
side toward the post, on which the owl
is chained, being provided with small
openings, through which the barrels Of
the guns can be thrust. The hut should
be erected at the base Of large tree, as
many birds Of prey prefer to take short
rest before attacking their enemy, the
owl
A short time after the owl has been
chained, it is surrounded by flying mob
that begins to bother and poster it, the
large birds being very bold and audacioua
in their attacks. The hunter in the
shanty orhut can take good aim and kill
large number Of birds in very short
time, for it seems that the killing Of some
Of the birds does not disturb the rest,
and those dispatched by the hunter are

The Old Liberty Bell.

The old bell which Philadelphia has
sent to the New Orleans exposition has
had noteworthy history, apart from the
one great deed which gave itworld wide
fame. In 1751, the Pennsylvania as
emily "a Quaker convocation, under the
rule Of the Penns) authorized commit
tee to buy bell for the State house. In
the letter sent by this committee to Rob-
ert Charles, of London, ordering the
bell, are these words:
s'Let it be cast by the best workman
and examined carefully before it is ship
ped, with the following words, well
shaped in large letters, around it, by
order of the Assembly of the Province
of Pennsylvania for the State house in
the city Of Philadelphia, 1852. And
underneath, Proclaim liberty through
all the land unto all the inhabitants
thereof.
AS Philadelphia and the province gov
erned BY Penn was at that time literally
the only spot IN the world where abso--
lutte freedom prevailed there was singu-
lar pertinence and significance in this
inscription
On the arrival of the bell it : - hung,
and rung to try the sound, but, having
been badly cast, it cracked on the first
stroke of the clapper The good Qua
kers then resolved to recasti it themselves,
which they accordingly did in 1853. IN
1777. when the British threatened Phila-
delphia, it was removed to the little Mo-
ravian town of Bethlehem for safety.
Even then, the people who were fighting
so hard for their freedom invested with
a kind Of sacredness the bell which had
rung out to proclaim liberty, not only to
this land but to all the nations Of the
world who should shelter here. It was
broken several years later, and has since
occupied place in the old State house
at Philadelphia, next to the room in
which the Declaration was signed that
made US free people. 80 Yout1's Compan-

The new cathedral Of Moscow cost
more than SO, 600, 900. It has been half
century IN constructing. but the won
der is not that the time is so long, but
that it has been SO short. The great ca

from Napoleon Bonaparte in 1912. Less
than three months after the retreat of
the French the Emperor Alexander I. is
sued decree that the church should be
built, and few years later the founda-

erect the building and cover it in. and
the scaffolding was taken down in 1868.

A SanauInary Tale 81 The Sea.

The loss Of the schooner Arcana for
merly the jefferson Borden, in the Bay
of Fundy, recalls one of the bloodiest of
modern sea tales. While on voyage
seven Or eight years ago. three Of the
crew-smith, o young man from Maine,
Miller, stalwart Russian Finn, and
GIew, an English lad-conspired to take
possession Of the vessel, and began the
work one night by stabbing and throw
ing into the sea the two mates. The
other persons on board at the time were
Captain Patterson and his wife, the
cook, Swedish seaman, and boy.
The mutineer attempted to entice the
captain to the deck, but, as there had
previously been signs of insubordination,
his suspicious were aroused, and he ap-
peared armed with a revolver, with
which he kept them back, and finally
drove them into the forecastle, where he
locked them in. Then for nearly two
days followed as extraordinary drama
as ever was played on the ocean.
The Swede, who was at the wheel, re-
mained neutral, taking good care of the
schooner while the captain stood guard
over his prisoners. AS they had no fire.

surrender, and were put in irons. The
vessel was taken into an English port,
and the story of the mutiny and the ex-
traordinary contest which followed it
was told all over the world. The pris-
oners were tried in the United States
court, the trial lasting a long time, and
attracting great deal Of attention. Able
counsel endeavored to show that i'll
treatment on the part Of the captain and
mates was sufficient provocation for the
mutiny, but all three of the mutineers
