strike at the Westphalia mines, who were
put under arrest when the strike move
ment begun, have been released withouta
trial. The mines are in such adilapidated
condition that production in large guam
titles will not be possible for several days
TO come. Government inspectors are busy
examining the mines and ascertaining
what, II any. danger exists.
The workingmen OF Bochum, not en-
gagged in coal mining, have subscribed a
sum OF money for the benefit Of the poorer
miners, who in the midst of plenty, are
actually starving. The surrender of the
miners is due TO this fact.
Doctor B. Rassert, who is charged with
the administration OF the mines, is quoted
as saying that the safety OF the miners Is
now more carefully attended TO here than
in Germany, for which reason the country
is comparatively free from great mining
calamities.
Today's dispatches state that great eX-
element exists In Brussels. The work
ing men are determined to hold their
parade ia defiance of the city authorities,
and the burgomaster Is equally stubborn.

appeal to the people TO strike blow fol
liberty and not be any longer the slaves o
the Oligarchy.
Thirty five hundred weavers at Ghent
have struck.
The desperate financial situation Of
Portugal has been impending for many
months. The Miguel bOndhOlders, WHIT

power, are rejoicing over the result oil
their work. Portugal is virtually driven
for the present, from the great stock mar
kets OF Europe and her best securities are
without an offer of purchase.
1t is said that King Charles has offered
for the present, TO give up his incom'
from national sources, until such time a.
Portugal be better able to pay. As th'
! queen is wealthy both by descent and be
; quest, the kings offer, should it be ac
! cepted, would not involve him.
