STRIKERS SHOT DOWN

 Hands of the Military.
4 Late Dispatch Says a Crowd Of Rail. wny Passengers Were Mistaken for Rioters Advancing on the Troops, Hence inc Order to Fire

Hence the Order to Fire.
 BERLIN, May IA sanguinary en- counter has occurred at Bochum, in Westphalia, between the military and the striking miners and their supporters. Two persons were killed and many were injured.
 There was an encoun ter near Bracket, Westphalia between the troops and strik. CTS. A large body of the latter had gathered and were becoming disorderly when they were ordered te disperse by the officers in command of the military.
 The strikers refused to obey the order. After warning them of the consequences that would follow if they persisted in their refusal, and no attention being paid to the warning, the officer ordered the soldiers to fire on the strikers. Three of the miners were killed and everal were wounded.
 Acting under the instructions of the council of ministers, held in this city yesterday, the governor of Westphalia will preside at a meeting of the mine owners, which is is to be held today, to discuss means for the settlement of the troubles between the miners and mine owners.
 have joined in the strike. The president of Westphalia and Herr Herrfurth, Prus- sian minister of the interior, have arrived at Dortmund to attend the conference which will be held today.
 The miners delegates at Bochum have abandoned their demand for an increase of wages, but still insist upon a reduction of hours. The Krupps have issued no- tice to the men in the Hanover mine, protesting against the illegal action ot the miners, who, they say, are guilty of breach of contract.
 A later dispatch from Bochum says that the firing by the military was a fatal blunder, crowd of passengers issuing from the railway station being mistaken for rioters about to attack the troops. In the encounter near Brockel yester- day one woman was killed in addition to those previously mentioned

Suddenly the anxious, passionate voice of Ramsey is heard calling to "Lena; to
 his Lena, to open, for still he loves and
 believes'' This magic word. coming even thus late, has power to rouse the
 will of the poisoned woman and her arms
 stretch out so lovingly, so pleasingly, just as they did an hour ago. when her hus- band defended her against Jack before she learned that this defense was for worldly show, and that she must die to save herself from greater despair. As her fingers wander aimlessly and finally fall nfeless, Ramsay and Dromiroff have broken open the door. When the hus- band touches Lena gently raising her as 1t we're, the slight figure falls over on the face, rolling back once more to show the careworn features silent and soft in death. There was breathless silence of minute, and then came such shout of wild enthusiasm as only the lives o1 few actresses can boast, and to Sarah came one more grand creation. in her

But farewell to Paris. So possessed are the Tories by the spirit of scepticism -oS political not of religious sceptic- isna-that they entirely refuse to credit the current report that Mr. Parnen was moved to tears by Sir Charles Russell's eloquence in court. Mr. Parpell, they say, Is not an emotional person, and, If he were, he IS not very likely to weep over a pathetic narration of the mis- fortunes of MT. Davitt. He and MT. Davitt are supposed to be as far as ever from agreeing about Irish policy They are. on civil terms; hardly more. MT. who ought to follow, while to MT. Par nell MT. Davitt, certainly during some portions of his career, has seemed almost @ mutineer. What is true, believe, Is that during a portion of the Davitt pas sage of this great speech MT. Parnell covered his face with his hands. The rest Is conjecture.
 Equally sceptical are they about Sir Charles Russell's own tears at his own peroration. Whether he shed actual tears or not does not perhaps greatly takes note of everything that is personal. Moved he certainly was; deeply moved, l judge. He had reached the close of a great effort in great cause, in which his own feelings were wholly engaged, both as advocate and Irishman. The strain had been very great, his tempera- ment Is nervous one, his susceptibilities are those of his race; he was at the crisis of his own career and, perhaps, of the Irish cause. I can offer you no direct testimony; it was my misfortune not to hear him. But he, too, as he sat down, buried his face in his hands, and the spectators of this scene inferred the tears. Sir Charles is, beyond question, an actor of very considerable dramatic gifts. Whether he employed them on this occasion, or wheAher the tears welled up trresistibly, may be left an open question. Both theories may very well be true. The actor, too, has his emotions, and many times have seen him, or at least her, when after 6 great scene the eyes ran over. This closing scene of the opening for the defense was, at any rate, historic, and the truth Is worth knowing Since this was written have asked a friend who was present. what 1t was that really happened. My friend Is, like the Tories, by nature sceptical. He answered, II cannot say whether Sir Charles shed tears or not. All 1 can say is that saw him dash them away" And he repro duced the gesture with which it was done.
