THE six cotton mills of Augusta,
Ca, which locked out their operatives
several weeks ago, find the ranks of
their employees recently REINFORCED by
the citizens generally, of whom the op-
eratives constitute about the fifth
part. The citizens claim that while
the mill owners invested 100000 in
plants, which are paying them large
dividends, the citizens invested ST.
100000 in a power canal at their own
expense and with no outlay by the
mill men. This work pays the citizens
nothing, but the usufruct of the canal
is exclusively in the mills, so that the
citizens intimate that the mill men
have become SO arrogant as to forget
the side of the bread the butter is on.

UhfcagO Swftchmen Charged With 4

Chicago Switchmen Charged With the
Attempt To Blow Up signal Tower.
About midnight on the night of the
10th inst, an almost successful at
tempt was made to blow up the signal
tower of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railroad, at the Chicago
stock-yards. The tower is about
thirty feet high and contains a large
quantity of electrical and other ma
chinery used ia handling the numerous
switches and signal gates in the vi
entity. During the night the building
is occupied by John Calvin, the opera
tor. Calvin detected peculiar smell
and saw thin column ofsmoke rising
outside the tower, ct the top of which
he was at work. Suspecting some.
thing WAS wrong, he rushed down
to the lower floor, and i'm
mediately after the building was
shaken by an explosion which dam
aged the structure considerably and
completely shattered the delicate ma
chinery by which the switches were
worked. A man was seen running
away from the scene, and search by
the police failed to discover him. The
outrage is charged to the striking
switchmen, the intention evidently be-
ing to wreck the signal tower, throw
the switches and wreck passing trains.
An investigation resulted in the dis
covery of q number of explosive
preparations and pieces of the bomb
which did the work, but no other clue
to the perpetrators

A COUPLE of French aeronauts, M.
pHoste and M. Mangot, made q sue
cessful ballon voyage from Cherbourg
20 Tottenham, near London, recently.
They landed within five miles of the
point fixed upon in advance. The
main object of M. PHoste was, to prove
the possibility of maintaining an
equable altitude above the waves in
crossing the channel or any ocean.
and particularly to test the possibility
OF keeping in direct view vessels over
which to drop torpedoes. This was
successfully accomplished by means of
"coaxer" pipe, by which on reaching
the channel water was used for ballast,
counteracting the condensation or
rarefaction of gas, which so often
obliges balloons to shoot upward.
The water ballast wss taken in or dis
charged in such q way as to preserve
an altitude of $50 feet. Toy torpedoes
were dropped on ships, forts and ar
senals, showing in an unpleasantly
suggestive manner what might be done
with dynamite in time of war.

They are to be Imprisoned at San Aa-
tonic.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. TO- Gen.
Drum, acting secretary of war, has
given instructions that Geronimo,
Natchez and the other hostiles who
surrendered with them, be. stopped at
San Antonio and kept imprisoned
there until determination Is reached
as to what course OF procedure can be
undertaken against them. It is ofici
ally known that the surrender was not
made without conditions, but what the
conditions were beyond the agreement
that they should not be surrendered
for trial in Arizona, has not yet been
reported. 1t was in compliance
with this condition that Gen.
Miles started with the hostiles
for Florida. The determination of q
course of procedure will probably be
made by the President, but not until
the terms of the surrender and all the
attendant circumstances shall be
officially known. With the present
knowledge it seems probable that the
offenders can neither be tried by a.
military court-martiaI, nor by the
civil authorities, but thew NAV
be tried as the Modocs were
by military commission. This is
a tribunal for the institution of which
there are many wellrecognized prece-
dents in our own history, though it is
one which has as yet no recognition in
statutory law. The atrocities of
these prisoners, terrible as they were.
are not thought to be such as would
bring them within the Jurisdiction of q,
ourt-martial, which is very limited,
nor would the civil courts in the ab-
sence of witnesses meet the require
ments of the case, although the guilt is
notorious. Under the circumstances. O.
military commission which seems to be
intermediate between q court-martial
and the tribunal Of Judge Lynch, and
which recognized by the leading pub
Tic Is as a necessity under certain cir
cumstances, is perhaps the only court
by which justice could be meted out to
these murderers. It would, of course,
be composed of military officers, and
its proceedings would be similar in
character to those of q court-martial.
Little doubt is entertained by those
who know the character of the Apaches
that there will be found among them
g. number who will readily betrav
Geronimo and the other leaders to
save their own necks.

THE Naval Board of Inspector,

THE Naval Board of Inspectors
were recently instructed by Secretary
Whitney to examine some of the
American iron steamships, in order to
ascertain if they might be used in case
of necessity as auxiliary cruisers; and
the board reports in favor of three
vessels which are certified to be supe-
rior to many of the frst-class foreign
ships for such purpose. The funny
part of this grave and impressive pro-
ceeding is that the three ships in ques-
ton were all built by John Roach!

SITS held another meeting, last night,

and / 900 people were present. They
we're Germans almost exclu-
sively. Some twenty-f five or thirty
women were among the num-
Der. With great unanimity the
crowd applauded the most violent
utterances of the speakers the most
heartily. The temper of the crowd
was more than ordinarily excited, and
there were moments when the report
ers present thought their necks were
not much safer than those of the con-
victed Anarchists. The collection
taken up netted $95. When the meet
ing broke up part of the crowd left
the hall singing the "Marseillaise," all
efforts to squelch them proving vain.
