AIaskans Strike.

The steamer Queen, which arrived

so serious that on July Is Gov.

ance. The occasion of this visit was
an urgent appeal from the natives
and white people, who fear an out
break and violence growing out OF dif-
terences between the natives and the
managers OF the canneries as to fishing
grounds and prices offered for salmon.
Three days were spent in hearing COM
plants and making endeavors to Sc
cure satisfactory solution of the diff
fculties.
At one OF the sessions there were
200 Indians present. Last year the
canneries paid 10 cents each for sal
mon, but the managers OF all three can
neries agreed thai they could not this
year afford to pay more than S cents
per fish, and stood firm in their de.
termination to make no compromise.
The natives are cross and sullen be-
cause their demands were not acceded
to. When the Pinta left it was not
known whether or not the Indians
would accept the terms insisted upon
by the canneries, and it is more than
probable that the presence Of gum
boat will be necessary to keep the In
dians in check and to prevent what is
threatened to be b serious outbreak.

Poisoned Liquor.

Edward Hayes is dead and J. B.
Brown is in a critical condition from
the effects OF poisoned liquor given
them on railway train at Norwood,
Mass, recently. They were returning
home from Boston and joined two
strangers in a game of whist in the
smoking car. During the play one OF
the strangers produced q pint
bottle and passed it around.
Hayes and Brown drank but the
strangers did not. When Brown left
the train at Norwood central station
he fell beside the track insensible. He
was taken home and at q late hour
last night his recovery was doubtful.
HAYES went on to Winslow station,
two miles further, and got off the train
with much difficulty. He walked to a
field near by and lay down on his face,
where q friend tried to rouse him afew
minutes later, but found him dead.

MurderOus Italians.

Wayne county, w. Va, was TX,
scene OF q series ofmurders the evening
ofthe 31st ult. Mr.. Brumfeld, his.wife
and five children were murdered in a
most horrible manner and their bodies
consumed by fire.
About midnight fifty Italian labor.
ers became drunk and started on a
tour of devastation. The Brumfield
family were thought to have copsid-
erable money. The Italians went
to Brumfeld's s residence and were re-
fused admittance. Doors and win
dows were then forced open. Mr..
Brumtield, with his two half-grown
sons, fought with desperation, but
were finally murdered, their throats
being cut from ear to ear and the
bodies repeatedly stabbed. Mrs.
Brumfeld and her three little children
were next killed by the drunken Ital.
ians, who then searched the house for
money and set it on fire.
Mr.. Brumfeld was influential and
wealthy. Two or three years ago,
while county commissioner, he oppos.
ed the building of a new court house,
and thus made many enemies. The
court house was built, and it is
thought Friday nights work was the
result of the old feud, and that Brum-
fields enemies piled the Italians with
liquor ard then pointed out the path
to the residence.

Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon, the two
Irish members OF parliament who
have been undergoing sentences of six
months Imprisonment for inciting
tenants of the Smith. Barry estate at
Tipperary to resist payment OF rents,
were released from Galway jail at
9:25 O'Clock last Wednesday, morning.
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien showed
but slight traces OF having suffered
from the rigors OF confinement In Jail;
i'll fact, they seemed to be enjoying per-
feet health. Large crowds OF people
gathered outside the jail long before
the hour set for the deliverance OF the
two imprisoned Irish leaders, and
when the latter did appear they were
greeted with loud shouts of "Stick to
Parnell." These shouts, however,
were intermixed with others equally
loud, and which had for their tenor,
"Down with Parnell."
No sooner were the members OF par.

for her husband, whom she welcomed
back to liberty in a most affectionate

A Duel TO the Death,

One OF the most thrilling tragedies
that has ever occurred in Westchestel
county took place in Croton Landing
last Saturday, which will result in the
death OF Newton Baker, private secre
tary OF Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who
was fatally shot four times by Orville
M. Anderson, late the New York agent
OF the Louisville Gas company.
Anderson and his family reside in
the Moody homestead, and he sub let
part OF thehouse to Baker and his wife
The two families nave never agreed,
neigbborly quarrels were fleuuent
between the women of the house,
which some time ago became so ser.
ious that Anderson and Baker took
up the quarrel and often had heated
disputes over the matter. The quar-.
rels became more and more serious
every day beteen the two men until it
went so far that both the husbands
threatened to take each others lives.
The threats eliminated IN one OF the
most thrilling duels and tragedies
which has ever been known.
Baker and Anderson were walking
toward their homes to-day attempt
ing to adjust their difficulties. They
had not proceeded far when they per-
ceived Mrs. Baker coming toward
them, to meet her husband and walk
home with him, so that the two men
would not quarrel and come to blows,
but when she was within q few feet of
her husband she said:
"While you were absent this morn
ing that man (pointing to Anderson)
stared at mein an nungentlemanly man
ner, and in his actions and conductin.
suited me. He did not address me,
but laughed in a daring and sarcastic
manner"
Baker then turned to Anderson and
said, "that was an insult to my wife,
and | as q husband cannot allow
this"
Both men drew their revolvers, and
Mrs. Baker sprang between them and
threw her arms around her husbands
neck and tried to shield him from An
derson's bullets. Mrs. Baker, becom-
ing exhausted, swooned away.
Both men fought for their lives.
They clung to each other for a few mo.
ments, when Anderson suddenly broke
away, quickly stepped back couple
OF PAGES and, raising his revolver, fired
at Baker. HIS aim was true, for, as
Baker was about to raise his arm to
shoot, Anderson fired. the ball strik-
ing Bakers right arm and breaking it,
Bakers weapon fell from his hand.
Anderson then fired three more shots
in quick succession, the second shot
striking Baker in the forehead and
making glancing wound, while the
third bullet entered his left side lust
below the heart and the fourth bullet
pierced the right side. Baker drop.
ped to the ground mortally wounded
and begged Anderson not to shoot
again.
When Anderson saw his enemy Iyin
upon the ground he cody placed his
revolver back in his pocket and walk
ed home, leaving Baker and his half
crazed wife on the roadside. Mrs,
Baker soon called for help, and her
wounded husband WAS taken to the
same house where his would.be. .mur.
derer had already preceded him.
Physicians ware hastily summoned,
and after examining Bakers wounds
pronounced them fatal. Anderson

Trouble In Omaha.

Trouble at the Omaha & Grant
Smelling works over the eight hour
day took on q serious aspect the LIST
inst. The men had been working elev.
en- and twelve-hour shifts and have
many times agitated the question of
the shifJs OF eight hours each.
When the eight-hour law went into
effect the LIST of August, the company
demanded that the men sign the con-
tracts binding them to work the same
hours for the same pay as before. The
men not willing to do this were asked
to report to TIE main office of the
company in writing. Several did so.
Those who made reports were
promptly discharged. This created
much dissatisfaction and all last night
mutterings OF discomfort were heard.
A strong police was put on guard at
the works and trouble was averted at
the time. At 7 O'Clock Sunday the
day shift men assemble at the hall in
Bohemiantown and there in Bohemi.
an, Polish and other foreign tongues,
discussed the hequestion.
When the oratory had sufficiently
aroused the men they marched in q
body to the works and drove the men
from the furnaces and other parts of
the buildings. Police were on duty
but could do nothing with the mob.
LATER.
In spite OF their small number the
police succeeded in keeping the mob
in check and at last accounts Il q. m.
Monday everything is quiet at the
smelling works.
All the men have quit work and left
the works in charge of police. About
eighty men who remained to watch

ers. No one was hurt, though VIC.
lence was threatened against several
reporters. The fires are lett
to themselves, and many OF
the cupolas will be chilled.

A Chilly Reception.

A Paris dispatch says that the re-
ceptlon OF the Chicago fair committee
by the French was a little more than
polite. The feeling there is very luke,
warm toward the American fair, ow-
ing partly to the absorbing interest OF
the European political situation, and
partly also to the fact that the Ameri.
can display at the late Paris exposi.
ton was considered inadequate as
compared with countries vastly less
important in wealth, population and
industry. Again thereis evidence that
the historic attachment to America is
gradually dying out withthe advance
oitime, and that sentiment is sup.
planted by hard material interests.
The move to repeal the pork prohlbl.
tion was only undertaken under the ap.
prshension OF the loss OF the wine trade
with America, and Its success IL not
yet assured Even, should II pass the

Coquimbo the Seat of War:

The Herald's Coeuimbo, Chilli, spe-
cial says that the Junatas troops
are missing at Huasco, and it is ex-
pected they will soon march to
Coquimbo and battle with Balmace-
da's forces. The congressional feet
will operate IN the comoined attack
that is to be made on the hegovernment'
stronghold.
The insurgents warships Amazones,
Aconcagua, Cochrane and Esmeralda
have again been seen short distance
from Coquimbo, and are evidently
awaiting for the land forces to reach
the city before opening fire. Balma-
ceda's troops have been reinforced by
men brought from Valparaiso on gov
ernment transports, and 10000 men
are now in the city. 1t is said the in
surgents' troops are about as numer-
GUS. It is not likely that the insur.
gent fleet will have it all their own
way in making the attack. The best
ships in the government service are
now on their way north to engage
their attention, SO as to let the land
forces have it out between themselves.

Shot Without Warming.

A mysterious shooting case occurred
on the I'd inst, in the apartmenthouse
No. $50 West Forty-second street,
New York City. While Charles @.
Goodwin was engaged in writing let
ter in mis- room Bertram Webster, an
acquaintance, opened the door and
stood upon the Threshold with re-
volver in his hand. Without uttering
word Webster fired at Goodwin,
who fell to the floor with bullet in
his abdomen. Webster coolly walked
down stairs and told the janitor that
Goodwin was sick and needed doc
tor, after which he disappeared and
has not been seen since. Goodwin
was taken to the hospital and will
probably die. Both Webster and
Goodwin were sporting men and are
said to own number OF race horses.
1t was learned that they were friends
until recently, when Webster charged
Goodwin with being intimate with
Mrs. Webster.

Officials Implicated.

A series OF wholesale customs frauds
have been discovered by the govern
ment secret service officials in the
duchy OF Bukowina, which borders on
Russia and Roumania. The conspir-
acy discovered duplicates some of the
highest officials and many of the prin-
cipal merchants of the duchy. Num-
bers of people have already been ar
rested in connection with the affair
and further arrests are contemplated.
Director Bosancze, of the customs
bureau at Bukowina, has committed
suicide as the result of the discoveries.
It is understood that the frauds un-
earthed are chiefly connected with the
smuggling of corn, -four and brandy
across the Austrian frontier.

cess Maud OF Wales, to whom he took
the opportunity OF his visit to Eng
land to make advances. The young
man has a horrible breath. 1t is said
to be partly because he cannot help it
and partly owing to the prodeigal use
OF garlic, to which most ofMs country
men are more or less addicted. Owing
to his royal station people hesitate to
tell the prince why they avoid him,
but If he ever learns the truth it will
be in England, where there is not so
much dread OF royal displeasure as on
the continent. 1t is said that Maud
positively refused to meet Naples again
after the first introduction.
