SEEKING AID

For the Starving aiiuers IN the Brazil Dis.
trlct-lIalf n Cents Worth of Food Per
Capita.
CINCINNATI, July l4,-James Hors6eld
and William Murray, rs representatives
Of the starving miners OF the district Of
which Brazil, Ind, is the centre, are in
this city seeking financial aid for their
starving iellow-workmen.
The tales they tell OF suffering are in
deed heartrending. There are $3.50
men, women and children depending on
the outside world for food enough to
sustain life. Strong men and their hardy
wives are worn 10 mere shadows, and
their children are wailing for something
10 eat. And none is forthcoming, ex.
Cept enough 10 whet the appetite and
make the pangs the harder to bear. Do.
nations to the strikers have been steadily
falling OIL, and for the four days begin
ming Friday but little over $3.50 was re.
Ceived for distribution. This amounted
10 about two and a half cents per capita
for the four days; or, In other words,
tue Wlnetb VIII uhVe W uHo w huOut
half OF cents worth OF food per day.
In tue whole district there are but
fourteen men at work, and they are
scabs. The mine owners threaten to
nut In electric machinery and dispense
with the services OF the miner. The
men consider this bluff, and will make
no opposition to the introduction OF tho
machinery. They claim that 1t can only
be operated at loss, as was proven in
the case Of the Watson Company, who
tried machinery with the result that
they ruined one mine, and, after losing
over $4,000, concluded 10 return to
manual mining.
Messrs. Horsfeld and Murray have &C.
cured the Standard Theatre for demon.
stration on Tuesday night, They will
lay the facts OF the case before the meet
Ing, and then Rev. NJ. O. Lockwood and
P. j. Fitzpatrick, President Of the Iron
Moulders' Union, will make addresses.
They have also put in circulation among
the different trades subscription papers,
and they hope TO raise enough money TO
give the miners at least one square meal
-athing they have not had since the
beginning Of the strike.

LITTLE SWITZERLAND
Shows She is Not Very Much
Afraid Of Big Germany,
THE RETALIATION MEASURES
Adopted by the Latter, aud swItsrr-
land Advises Travellers to Enter
via Austrla-The Empcror's
Position Foreign News.

BERLIN, July l4,-The reply OF the
Swiss Bundesrath was received at the
Foreign Office Friday evening, Though
civil in tone, 1t is none the less defiant,
and Is throughout a vindicatlon OF the
rights Of refugees and Of Swiss action to-
ward German police agents,
The note persists that the arrest and
expulsion Of Wohlgemuth were fully
Justified, and says;
"The BundesraLh must further adhere
to its Interpretation OF article second OF
the settlement treaty OF 1915, which in
no wise restricts the right OF the two
Governments to receive In their respec.
tive territories anyone they deem fit,
The ,Bundesrath must insist upon its
rights being respected as firmly deter.
mined to fulfil It's international obliga.
tions."
The tenor OF the reply was commune
Gated TO the German Minister At Berns
early In the week. The communication
was the signal for the adoption Of strin.
gent measures for the scrutiny Of travel
ers crossing the Swiss frontier, baggage
being merclleasly oYerhauled and goods
wantonly searched and delayed.
The National Zeilang denies that these
regulations are reprisals and declares
that they are due to directions from the
Imperial customs officials uniniluenced
by the Government. The Swiss Canto-
nal authorities, believing otherwise, di-
rect travellers to proceed through Aus
trian territory, via Bregen2. The atti'
tude OF the Swiss Government is very
probably strengthened by the knowl-
edge that Prince BismarCks menaCes to
Swiss neutrality occasions dlssatislac-
ton.
The Emperor was not consulted con-
Cerning the dispatches, His Majesty has
advised Prince Bismarck TO modify his
tone and thus avoid aggravatiug the dit-
aculty. As a result, the semi.otilcial pa.
pers are moderate in their expressions
Of hostility toward Switzerland.
The North German Gazette, comment
ing on the situation, contains no sugges-
tion assailing Swiss neutrality, nor even
a denunciation OF the settlement"
treaty. The Gdscite explains that the
dispatch OF June was the outcome OF
an understanding with Russia, and pro-
Ceeds TO show that It's object was, bygiV-
ing 1t the tone and tenor OF an identical
Russian note, presented at the same
time, to accentuate the impression 1t
was intended TO produce.
It's purpose so lar has been attained,
the Swiss authorities giving due consid-
Grafton TO the Russian representations,
and 1t is expected that they will ulti-
recognize the German claims,
though in a less friendly and less oxpe-
ditious manner. The diplomatic action
OF Germany is aimed at the Social de-
mocracy Of Switzerland. Against Swift
zerland itself this policy is directed only
