Aspecial from Canon City, COL, says
an EXPLOSION occurred in shaft No. 2 Of the
Garfield coal mine Monday night, result
ing in the instant death of Henry Wallace,
mine foreman, and Peter Galloway, and
fatally wounding ten or dozen others.
OF these James Wallace, brother Of the
foreman, and Henry Dodd are expected to
die at any moment. The others wounded
are Thomas Shields. jr., John Murphy,
John Linn, James Trover, John Coshain,
Thomas Cunningham and two men named
James and Jamison. The recovery Of
three Of these is extremely doubtful. The
mine has been on fire since last Thurday,
and Monday night gang was sent down to
endeavor to extinguish it. The men had
been at work about three hours and had
the fire under control when the gas was
ignited in some unknown manner and the
explosion followed, badly damaging the
mine and with terrible results to the men.

held Sunday at "a West Lake street, was
issued, and it was announced that, in case
the police should interfere with this meet
ing, All adjournment would be taken to
Haymarket square, the scene of the his
torical bomb throwing, and that an open
air meeting would be held there. This
was the boldest utterance by the reds since
the fateful night, and trouble was anticl-
pated. Up to 10 p. m. Sunday night there
had been no reports Of any trouble grow
ing out Of the proposed anarchist meet
ings. The police arrangements begun Sat
urday night were completed by noon Sun
day, and so perfect we're all the details that
1t would have been small matter to have
massed 400 men to any point at which
disturbance might take place. Each sta
tion in the districts where the anarchists
held meetings held seventy Ave men rea dy
for duty, and each outlying SUBJ statio ON
held twenty-five more prepared for any
emergency which might arise. But the
necessity for these preparations did not
become apparent at any time during the
day, the anarchists realizing that Chief
Hubbard meant business and was fully
prepared TO have his mandates obeyed.

Ended in q Melee.

The football game at the naval academy at
Annapolis Saturday between the naval
cadets and the St. Johns college team re-
suited in victory for the latter. About
thirty college boys, ranging in age from IL
to 20 years, grouped together and showed
their delight at the second defeat their
club had given the cadets this season.
The cadets, m addened by the college cries
and the taunts of their opponents, formed
in solid phalanx and marched down on
the st. Johns hackers. The college boys
were rushed about twenty yards, when
the, made stand, and regular set-to
began, in which eyes were b!ackened,
heads knocked. teeth went down throats,
and little boys were picked up and thrown
pellmell into the struggling mass Of their
comrades. Superintendent Sampson,
Commandant Harrington and Watchman
Oleone interfered and stopped the melee.
The better class of cadets condemn most
strongly the conduct of the schoolmates.
and it is presumed that q formal apology
will be rendered to the st. Johns students.
An investigation of the affair will be made
by the naval academy authorities.
Indians Win Lease Their Lands.
Advices from the Indian Territory say
that the interior department has notified
the Cherokees that the Cherokee strip is
the property of the United States and that
the Indians have no right to lease it. The
strip comprises 6,0o0.000 acres of grazing
land. Thursday the Cherokee legislature,
sitting at Tahlequah, passed bill leasing
the strip to a stock syndicate at 5000, 900
yearly for five years. Principal Chief
Mayes has not yet signed the bill. The
matter has caused sensation, but the
Cherokees will lease the lind, and dele
cation will be sent to Washington to prove
to the interior department tnat the land
belongs to the Cherokee nation in fee
simple.

Burmese Trlbesmen Who Give C0nsldes. |
able Trouble to the British Trssps.
The most recently acquired British
dependency is source Of considerable
anxiety to Its conquerors. The ease
with which the Anglo-Indian troops
dispersed King Theebaw's levies and
occupied his capital led to the hasty
conclusion that it would be q simple
business to reduce Upper Burmah to
the same condition or tranquility pre-
vailing throughout Hindostan. But
the British. NJ usual, were over san
guine. When British force under
takes to invade a country 1t is invari-,
ably filled with the belief, first, that the
inhabitants will not hazard any resist
ance, and second, that if they should
be so rash rs to oppose the advance Of
British civilization their complete dis
comfiture will be instantaneous. But
the occupation Of Mandalay no more
secured the submission Of the Burmese
tribes than the occupation of Pretoria
secured the submission Of the Beers.
The overthrow Of King Theebaw's
troops no more completed the conquest
Of Burmah, than the overthrow Of Shere
Ais troops completed the conquest Of
Afghanistan. While the physical feat
ures of the two countries differ widely,
there are strong points Of similarity be-
tween the Afghan people and the Bur-
mese. Both are turbulent and warlike,
and in both the tribal system prevails.
Among nations where this system Is in
force, the central authority is
easily subvcrted by attack from
without, but the people It.
self is proportionately hard to
subdue. The physical differences be-
tween Afghanistan and Upper Burmah
are all unfayorable to the invaders.
In the formcr, the country, although
mountainous, is open. Movements Of
troops IN every direction are generally
easy and never impossible. In Upper
Burmah, on the contrary, the country
is almost wholly covered with nearl,
impenctrable jungle. Roads Of any
kind can hardly be said to exist, and
the only highway Of communication is
the Irrawaddy river.
The Burmese tribesmen, to whom
the British have readily given the
designation Of dacoits (the Hindostani
word for highway robbers), secure III
their jungle businesses from effective
pursuit, issue forth when the fancy
takes them and attack the weaker OF
the British posts and patroling parties,
sometimes with undeniable success.
No better proof could be given Of the
seriousness Of the situation than tn.
