The place is remote from a telegraph

a bad smash up. Fireman Lee was killed
outright. a Mr. Dage is dying and Engin-

were brought to Hamilton by a relief train
last night.

CHICAGO. Aug. 1.-Congressman Lawler
and other members of the business mems
relief committee left yesterday morning
with additional supplies for the half
starved. locked-out coal miners at
Streator.
Mr.. Geerahty, whose business in Streat-
miners troubles, and who has been in
Milwaukee fer some days soliciting
relief, said: 1--WE have two car
loads of provisions to distribute to-
day, but what will that amount to when
divided among COCO starving miners, the
majority of whom are married men with
families. 1t will scarcely last two days
for the poor fellows. The condition of the
men and women is almost indescribable
l can truthfully say that many people are
actually starving. Tie babies and chill
dren cry for bread and wallow in the mud
dy streets, but their mothers have become
callous TO their cries and do not seem to
mind. They say but little and complaints
are infrequent. They just keep silent in
their misery. A few are very proud and
affect to be light-hearted when they have
not a thing to eat in the house. l tell you
it is horrible and no one can realize the
awful sufferings until he gets right in the
midst of the misery. Business has gone
to smash and stagnation rules every
where. Unless the miners are given work
soon or further relief comes you will soon
hear of some deaths from actual starva-

WASHINGTON Aug. 1.-The Secretary of

the Secretary of State inc!osing a copy of
dispatch received from the United
States Consul at Annoy calling attention
TO the inferior quality of much Of the
Annoy Oolong tea exported to the United

THE statement of the Consul aud the doc

among dealers in China that Annoy Co.
longs are generally dirty, adulterated,
carelessly picked or poorly cured, and
that their reputation is so vile that all
markets save those of the United States
are now closed to them. A circular letter
issued by Messrs. Russell & Co., of Annoy,
speaks of these teas as the decayed veg
etable matter of China and states that it
is difficult 10 understand how. under the
existing inspection regulations. they can

The British Premier Sanguine of Peace I'm
Europe and Prosperity in Ireland.
LONDON. Aug. Lord Salisbury, speak
ing at the annual Ministerial banquet last
evening, said his aim in foreign affairs
was peace with honor. The thunder clouds
of war still overcast Europe, but the
issues involved in war would be so fright
full that nations shrank from challenging
one another. Events in Egypt did not
menace the prosperity of that coun-
try. The disturbance on the frontier
would be suppressed. England had
entered into engagements not
to abandon Egypt until the latter
was capable of maintaining her own Gov
eminent in the face of foes and those
engagements England would assurediy
flu iii. Referring TO Crete. he did not
consider that there was any need to fear
that the pres mt mover enr would lead to
n European disturi ance. He repudiated
the remotest desire of seeing England in
possession of Crete. The reports current
to that effect throughout the Continent
We're without foundation.
Referring briefly to Ireland the Premier
held that the result of the Governments
action was the bringing of order and pros
perity throughout the country, and that
when heretofore the peasantry believed
their interest lay in defying the law rather
than obeying it, the feeling was rapidly
disappearing.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
Government Omciais Satisfied With the
Seizure of the Alleged Piratical Sealers.

Government Omciale satisfied With the
Seizure of the Alleged Piratical Sealers.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The State De.
partment has not ct received any demand
for the release of the Canadian sealing
vessel Black Diamond, but such a demand
is expected by some as soon as the British
Government learns officially of the seiE-
ure No serious trouble with Great Britain
is apprehended by department officials,
however, for the reason that it is to the
interest of Great Britain aud all other
great commercial countries that these
seals should be preserved from slaughter
by piratical sealing crafts. The United
States, they say, protects them against
American and foreign poachers alike.
Assistant Secretary Bachelor said that
the Treasury Department had no part in
the political or diplomatic side of the
question. They found the law on the
statute books and 1t was their duty to en-
force it Moreover, they had the procla-
nation of the President, which an
nouuced that it was the purpose of the
Administration that it should be en-.
forced. Il don't see how there can be
much trouble about il, he said, 'for no
nation can afford to throw these fisheries
open to destruction. The commercial
interests of the world are too
seriously involved. A great COM
mercial nation like England could
not afford TO have this destruction go on.
The protection we give is for the good of
the whole world. The habits of the seal
are well known. They make three visits
to these islands. On the last visit when
they are not breeding or with young they
are taken. We limit the number that may
be taken in any one year and provide that
the female shall be preserved, only 8
per cent of the catch being allowed
to be of that sex. At certain times
of the year they disappear. No one
knows where they go-perhaps out in
the deep water. Again they are seen in
the sea far from shore. That is where
they are killed by these poachers and the
mothers with young are the ones that suf-
fer, because they are the only ones to be
got in any number. By killing the females
when Young in this way the whole brood
would soon be destroyed. England can't
afford to have this done"
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Tichenor, in a talk about the Behring sea
seizure said: There will be no chlld's
play about this Administration. The Off
GERS of the revenue cutters i'm Behring sea
have plain orders. They will seizs every
vessel, American or British, found violat-
ing the law. Great Britain claims right
to the fisheries, it is true, but Great Britain
is in the habit of claiming every thing.
The idea of redress or indemnity under
the circumstances is absurd. The matter
would be treated as small trespass."
Commissioner of Customs Holiday said:
"The only trouble is that we have not
enough vessels in Behrng sea at present
to properly defend the fisheries. No men,
of-war, think, are OH duty in Behring
sea. IL any thing is done by the English
Government it will probably be as an off
set to our claim on the Canadian fisher
