shaft with frightful rapidity, breaking
the oil lamps, and the blazing fluid quick

preventing egress. The mine
was soon filed with smoke and the lights |

whites, in their efforts to escape, became

passage of corpses.

their ravages they extend to the lungs
producing Consumption and to the head,
causing Catarrh Now all this Is danger

desired above all others, was to have
their fish and fish products admitted to
the markets of the United States free of
duties; and every means in their power
has been exerted to this end.
They have resorted to the prosecution
and persecution of American fishermen,
denying them through technicalities of
law what no civilized people have ever
denied to other civilized people before, all
