BAY CITY, Mich, July 22.-There is a
prospect of settlement of the lumber
strike. The military has gone home and all
is quiet There was business mems meet
ing Monday afternoon. aud committee
was appointed to confer with the mill
owners and the strikers. The mill
owners have appointed committee to meet
the two committees mentioned above. One
mill, that of RUG & Stevens is running on
ten hours with a corresponding reduction in
the pay, with no reduction in the wages of
men receiving less than 81. 50 per day. 1t is
thought that all the mills will start on this

The Strike at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, O.. July 22.-There are abso-
lutely no new developments with regard to
the strike of the rolling mill hands. The
question has narrowed down to a mere queS-
ton of nerve, and if the strikers are able to
hold out longer than the Rolling Mill com
pany, then they will win; if they cannot do
this their case is hopeless, as it has been
demonstrated that rloting and other like
proceedings will avail them nothing A
meeting of the strikers will be held to effect
an organization of those now on a strike.
The men seem very determined, and say
they will starve before returning to work at
their former wages

A WHIRLPOOL OF CRIME.
No wonder Colombia is now undergoing
revolution 1t is common thing for
State Senators to rush into the open
streets and shoot each other down for some
insult offered during the heat of debate.
It is a common thing for the wealthy men
to have number of concubines. Rev. Mr..
k, the missionary, gave me the fol-
lowing story, which will illustrate the
/, condition of the'country:
"a woman of noted beauty got tired OF
her husband and went to live with man
No. 2. In years time she tired of No.
3 and returned to her first love. No.
became enraged, and employed man to
kill No. l. The price paid was 81. The
man did the job well. He called upon his
victim, invited him into the front yard,
attacked him with a large knife, killed
him, cut off his head, and killed another
man who tried to interfere. The murderer
was arrested, but let loose upon the pay
ment to the officials of S37, by the man
who employed him to commit the crime"
a Frenchman, with beautiful daugh-
ter, took a contract for removing dirt from
the canal, and took up his abode on the
Isthmus. His daughters great beauty
attracted much attention. She had many
suitors, all of whom were treated alike
with courtesy, without encouragement.
One smooth-faced villain planned and
accomplished her destruction. She was
carried from home, drugged, outraged
brutality, and left in her fathers front yard
| at daybreall in an unconscious condition,
from which she never rallied. The over
dose of opiates killed her. The tiend and
his accomplices were not even arrested,
though said to be well known. When
brought to the notice of the authorities,
they shrugged their shoulders and said
ooh, well, she was nothing but a for
eigner." j. NJ. S.

4 CANAL Across MICHIGAN cana
is proposed across the lower portion OF
Michigan, to connect the waters of Lake
Michigan with those of the Detroit river.
A bill has been reported favorably in Con-
cress appropriating $1,000 for the prelim
mary survey The distance between the
lake and the river is lis miles. Henry
Willis, who was connected with the con-
struction of the Pennsylvania canals esti-
mates the cost of the proposed water route
at $4,754. $50. He says the distance saved
between Detroit and Chicago by canal
would be 535 miles, and that an annual
loss of between 100000 and 100000
now incurred by commerce upon the lakes
would be avoided.
