UNHAPPY ERIN.

English Officials Declare That the People
In the West of Ireland are in Urgent
Need of Aid.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Earl of Zet-
land, Viceroy of Ireland, and Mr.. Bal
four, the Chief Secretary, have signed a
declaration as to the condition of pov-
erty prevailing in the west of Ireland.
They describe this condition as chronic
in some districts and state that if no aid
reaches the people, the situation will
develop into great distress during the
winter and spring. The declaration
lays some stress on the fact that there
is no resident gentry or substantial
middle class in the sections referred to,
through whom employment can be af-
forded. There are also no charitable
organizations to minister to the wants
of those unable to help themselves.
The question is not whether money or
other aid should be given, but how it
should be given, to what class and for
what special purposes. The signers
further dwell upon the Importance of
careful consideration as to the character
of the distributive agencies, in order
that the relief may be properly given
and not indiscriminately. To bestow
help recllessly may infest whole towns
with the vices and weaknesses of pro-
feSSional mendicancy

SNOW IN THE FURNACE.

Three Foundrymen Injured by an ExpIo-
sion Resulting From Carelessness-Nar-
row Escapes of Fifty Employees.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The receiver of an
iron blast filed with molten metal ex-
ploded Saturday afternoon in the foun-
dry of Farnum IL Richardson at Robey
and Blue Island avenues. Fifty work
men had narrow escapes. Three were
injured, one of them possibly fatally.
The explosion was caused by the acci-
dental dropping of some snow into the
furnace by an employe who was clean
ing the roof, causing a fearful explo-
sion. The liquid iron was scattered
over most of the foundry room and it
Immediately set fire to the wooden
framework. The three injured men
were the only ones working near the
furnace at the time of the explosion, and
the fact that many more were not in
jured was due to the fact that most of
the other employees were preparing
blasts in other portions of the room.
The flames were soon eXtinguished.
The loss of property by the fire and ex-
plosion was 81 900.

Detroit May Not Secure the Great Meet

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 7.-The fate of
the proposed National G. A. r. encamp-
ment in Detroit next summer is trem-

to raise $4,000 for the encampment by

make up the total 100000 required.
The Detroiters have come to dead

subject and Monday night second com

ESKIMoS IN DANGER.
Food Supply of Native Alasisans Rapidly
Diminishing and n Most Serious Crisis Ia
T,a

Food Supply of Native AiasI,ans Rapidly
Diminishing and u Most Serious Crisis 10
Imminent.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Dr. Sheldon
Jackson, of Illinois, United States gem
eral agent of education in Alaska, has
submitted n report to the Commissioner
of Education on his observations in that
Territory last summer. He says that
the Eskimos from time immemorial have
lived upon the whale and the seal on
their coasts; the fish and the aquatic
birds of their rivers, and the wild rein
deer of their vast inland plains. The
supply of these in years past was abund-
ant and furnished ample food for all the
people. Fifty years ago, American
whalers having exhausted the supply in
other waters, found their way into the
Northern Pacific Ocean.
Then commenced for that section the
slaughter of the whales that went
steadily forward at the rate of hundreds
of thousands annually until they were
destroyed and driven out of the Pacific
They were then followed into Behring
Sea aud the slaughter went on, the
whales taking refuge among the ice
fields of the Arctic Ocean and thither
the whalers followed. In this relent-
less hunt the remnant have been driven
still farther into the regions around the
north pole, until they are no longer
within the reach of the natives.
DIR. jackson says that with the de-
struction of the whale one large source
of the food supply for the natives has
been cut off. Another large supply was
derived from the walrus which once
swarmed in great numbers in the north
ern seas. The whalers then turned
their attention to the walrus, destroying
thousands annually for the sake of the
ivory in their tuslts. DIR. jackson saws
that where few years ago the walrus
were so numerous that their bellowings
were heard above the roar of the waves,
this year he cruised for weeks without
seeing or hearing one.
The walrus as a source of food supply
is already practically extinct and the
seal andrsea lion, once so common in
Behring Sea, are now so scarce that it
is with difficulty that the natives pro-
cure sufficient number of skins to
cover their, boats, and seal flesh, be-
cause of its rarity, has become luxury.
Five million cans of salmon are annually
shipped by American canneries from
Alaska and the business, which is still
in its infancy, means starvation to the
natives in the near future. DR.. Jackson
says that in this crisis it is important
that steps should be taken at once by
Congress to afford relief by appropri-
ating money to feed them, as is now
done in the case of the Indians.

CLUBS TRUMPS.

Hard Fighting between Scottish Strikers
and Police--The Military Called Out
Cudgels, stones and Other Weapons Used
With Terrific Efeot-AIany Rioters In
Jured.
GLASGOW, jan. THE evictions of
the railroad strikers from the quarters
occupied by them as employees of the
companies, promises to be the cause of
further and serious trouble. Notwith-
standing the fact that largely in
creased police and military force con-
fronted the riotous element ut Coal
bridge, great iron center about nine
miles from this place, rioting was re-
sumed by the desperate men. The
troubles of the day were begun by the
mob making fierce onslaught upon
the dormitory in which are sheltered
the non-union men. The assault opened
with a sharp fusilade with stones, which
was followed by a forward rush of the
mob, which made frantic efforts to force
an entrance to the building.
Sharp hand-to-hand fighting then took
place between the police and the riot
ers, the officers vigorously plying their
batons, while their assailants fiercely
pelted them with stones and beat them
with cudgels and their naked fists. At
times the policemen would, after extra
ordinary efforts, succeed in forcing the
mob to move backward, only, however,
to again pull itself together and dash
forward, cursing and fighting, upon the
officers. Several of the policemen and
number of the rioters were injured.
Six rioters We're arrested.
Shortly after the capture of these
men by the police the mob weakened
and finally gave way just before the
troops, who had been called out,
emerged from their barracks. In MAX
ing arrests the police contented them
selves with securing those of the rioters
who had made themselves conspicuous
as ringleaders.
Apprehensions are felt that the pun
ishment inflicted has not been severe
enough to prevent the more determined
spirits from leading the great crowds of
ugly men collected in the streets on to
another assault upon the quarters of
the non-unionists. The feeling of the
strikers is extremely bitter against
these men, and the feeling is generally
shared by the working people, as well
as, in many instances, by the employ
ing class. The parading of the troops,
too, has served to incense the people
