LONDON, Aug. "A Berlin dispatch
saws that q secret understanding has been
arranged between the powers Of the triple
alliance to stem as far as possible the tide
of Jewish emigration from Russia, and to
force the Jews back into Russia The mo-
tive is supposed to be that the Jews are an
element Of weakness in Russia, and that 1t
is not desirable to have them foisted on
other nations, especially the members OF
the alliance Italy, Prussia and Austria,
as if by common understanding, are taking
steps to drive the immigrant Jews back
from their borders. In Galicia, both the
government and the populace are strongly
opposed to the exiles, and hundred have
been compelled to recroSs the Russian

The authorities have been ordered to make
q rigid examination into the condition OIL all
Jewish emigrants, and If Jew Is not In
possession Of passport, railway ticket and
enough money to guarantee his passage TO

RICH SILVER STRIKE
One of the Greatest Finds of the
Age on POmerOy Mountain.
IT. RIVALS THE CONSTOCK
AfiaIrs-kining Accident Near
Leadville-

BOULDER. Colo, Aug. 7.-lSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. Only few weeks
ago there was reported an enormously rich
silver strike on Pomeroy mountain, near
Caribou, the details of which were so won
derful that many doubted the truth OF
them. To-day comes the report Of another
strike only 500 feet from the first that is
even richer and more wonderful than the
first. Imagine a streak or stratum running
into q mountain about three inches wide
and almost solid silver, the glistening white
Of native silver mingled with the more
sombre color of horn silver. The strike
was made q few days ago on Pomeroy
mountain by John c. Stewart He exhib-
tied specimens here to-day weighing from
one to three pounds each and almost solid
silver. The sight has awakened all The old
mining spirit and several will leave for the
new field tomorrow 10 investigate and
prospect.
Pomeroy Mountain, where the find was
made, is situated right on the main range
about a mile northwest OF Caribou and Just
across Caribou hill, from which through
the old Caribou. No Name, Belcher, Hor-
man and others, millions have been pro-
duced. Here Is located one Of the finest
and richest silver districts in the state Of
Colorado, though for several years the
camp has been dead by reason Of litigation
in the mines and Lack OF Transports
ton. Many years ago when Caribou was
busy camp, prospectors found several
large pieces OF float at the foot of Pomeroy
mountain, composed Of almost solid native
silver, silver glance and horn silver. These
pieces weighed several hundred pounds,
and returned value Of over SIS, 900 TO the
ton. Since that time prospectors have been
constantly searching for the vein where
this rich float came from, but the whole
country there was covered with a slide of
loose rock and earth about fifty
feet deep, so prospecting could only
be done by prosecuting, that Is,
by sinking shaft through the
slide and summing tunnel at right angles
with the strata. A few weeks ago the
first discovery was made by MIR. Carlisle
1t wa. enormously rich, but IS evidently
only feeder to larger vein. Last week
only 500 feet from the Pandorna, as the
! first strike is called, the second was made
and it is even richer than the first From
the records of the rich float found it is evil
dent there exists still larger vein some
where in the vicinity of some kinc
of mineral, and it is thought thoss
discoveries will soon lead to greater anC
more wonderful developments that vii
cast in the shade even the wonderful
mines of Nevada. There have been many
rich silver mines found in Colorado, but
never anything so rich in assure veins as
this is Old miners, who are familiar with
the district are confident that the two finds
just made are only the beginning. Elk
perience has taught the miners of this dis
trict that upon depth the ore increases
both in size and richness. II this is SC
wonderfully rich on the surface what may
/ il not be with depth.

Prosecuted Till She Suicided.

TSpecialto THE HERALD-EIsmIner Dispatch. ]
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. "A strange condition
of affairs was developed at an inquest
he'd yesterday on the body Of Miss Caro-
line Barth, an usually handsome young
woman 20 years old, the daughter OF a
wealthy German citizen. She took poison
Monday night and died Tuesday. The
cause of the suicide was mystery until
the inquest. Miss Barth was the victim OF
a singular persecution. She received g
number of disgusting snd scurrilOus letters
Ind valentines. The mother feared to tell
the father and brother, but employed 9
private detective. Some of these letters
are said to have been traced to a street car
conductor. He is a married man but is
said TO have endeavored to force his aIten-
tons on Miss Barth. One time he met her
and struck her. These facts were brought
out in some of the letters exhibited at the
INQUEST. THIS gave her father and brother
the first knowledge Of the persecution 70
which she had been subjected and which
drove her to suicide.

Small Progress of Either Party in Chill

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. THE officers Of
the United States steamship Pensacola,
which arrived from Chill yesterday, state
that the progress made so far by either
party in Chill is small. The congressional
party has plenty Of money, while Balma-
ceda is flooding the country with paper
money. Should Balmacedais new cruisers
arrive from Europe in good shape to enter
an engagement the insurgents will be
beaten, but if anything happens to tee
ships it is impossible TO predict the out
come and the war may continue for years.
Both parties are well supplied with arms
and ammunition. So far oEly three Gu
gagements have been fought, the insur-
gents being victorious each time. The In
surgent vessels joined in the expedition
against Coquimbo, and just before the
Pensacola left lquque it was reported they
were victorious. Three provinces now
recognize the congressional party.
