TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Nov. 25.-The
news from the Sullivan county mines,
where the strike has been complicated
by the introduction of Polanders, is
that the managers of these mines have
agreed to take the Pclanders away
Messrs Seifert, Gilmore, Harder and
Wilson spent the day at Sullivan, the
county seat, comforting with Sheriff
Hawkins, who had refused to act
until an overt act was committed
by the citizens whose warning
to the managers had availed to
keep the Polanders idle. Sheriff
Hawkins is to go to the mines at once
to maintain order until the Polanders
can be taken away. 1t is said the
other miners have returned to work at
Alum Cave, and will do so at the other
mines tomorrow. Very few, if any,
of the Sullivan county miners had been
members of the United Mine Workers
union, which ordered the strike
throughout the state. The alarming
situation in this county was almost
wholly due to the opposition of farm
ers, who work off and on in the mines,
to the presence of the Polanders. A
mass meeting of Parke county miners
was held at Rosedale yesterday after
noon, when addresses were made by
President Rae, of the national
union; John Nugent, of the ma
tional executive board, and Presi-
dent Cummisly, of the state
organization. When the state officers
ordered the strike President Rae tele-
graphed against the strike. He ex-
planned why he did so. and the meeting
adopted a vote of confidence, adjourn
ing with an expression of satisfaction
with the outlook, after appointing dele
gates to the convention to be held We'd
nesday. The ParlSe county miners had
not been enthusiastic in the strike, but
the address of President Rae evidently
inspired them with the belief that after
Wednesdays convention the national
union viii indorse the strike and thus
put the strikers on the list for relief
from the strike fund.

The OUssing of BraziI's President Officially
CONFERENCE.-The Revolution Peaceful
WASHINGTON. Nov. 25-Senhor Men
1onca, the Brazilian minister, has re-
ceived 4 cablegram dated yesterday
from the Brazilian minister of foreign
affairs confirming the press dispatches
announcing the resignation of Presi-
lent Fonseca of Brazil and the assump-
ton of the office by President
PeiXotte. Minister Mendonca has
heretofore been of the opinion that dis
satisfaction with President Fonseca's
policy was only local in its character
and was confined to the province
Of Rio Grande do Sui, but when the
peaceful district of Rio de Janeiro re-
Volted it showed, he said that this dis
satisfaction was becoming national.
The only course, therefore, left to the
president was to resign, and in doing
this he acted very periodically.
The minister received the news with
pleasure. for he thought it meant the
conciiiation of all the dissatisfied par
ties and the complete restoration of
harmony throughout the country. It
was especially gratifying to him to
know that everything had been &c
complished without the shedding of
blood.

Hawaii Favored.

WARRINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Dr. Mott
Smith, a member of the cabinet of the
Hawaiian islands, who was sent to
Washington some time ago to secure
notifications of the reciprocity treaty
between Hawaii and this government
has concluded his work. His efforts
have resulted in the negotiation of an
entirely new treaty which provides
for absolute free trade be-
tween the two governments
in the products and manufactures of
both countries. The treaty has been
signed by DR.. Smith and by the repre-
sentative of the United States, through
whom the negotiations were carried
on. 1t has been in the possession of
the president for several days, but has
not been signed by him.

Velvef for Rumaa


Many of the quaint and pretty French
toilets of India cashmere are finished at
the skirt hem with three "bebe
ruffles" of velvet, overlapping each
other, the top one ending in tiny
standing frill. This trimming is not a
new one, but it is made to look like a
novelty upon these gowns by the deft
and perfect manner in which the
ruffies are adjusted and by the richness
and beauty of color of the various vel
vets used. If the ruffies are made one
bit too wide the effect is spoiled and
they look dowdy and passe. They must
be no more than two inches in width
when finished and ready to SHREK
cept of course, the one at the top, for
which must be allowed half inch
more for the heading. -Chicago Post.

Russia and France Enter Into a Defensive
Compact-An OIset to the Triple ALI
ance OF Germany, Austria and Italy.
LONDON, Nov. 2S.-The first anthem
tic information conveying the results
of NJ. De Giers' sojourn in Paris has
reached the foreign Office through the
British embassy at Berlin. NJ. de Giers
communicated to Emperor William and
Chancellor Won Caprivi n clear explana-
ton as to the conferences held in Paris
and the character of the Russo French
entente therein secured. Doubtless he
has instructed his minister to make
declarations. with view to having not
only the German government but the
other interested European governments
learn the nature of the compact be-
tween Russia and France.
According to asemi-official statement,
based on NJ. De Giers' declaration to
Chancellor Won Caprivi, the Russian
statesman's recent interviews with
President Carnot M. DeFreycinet,
premier and minister of war, and NJ.
Ribot, minister of foreign affairs, re-
suited in a definite agreement for an
exclusively defensive alliance. The
entente agreed upon. according to the
statement quoted, differs in one most
essential point from the triple ALI
ance treaty, inasmuch as while that
makes the European statu que
the basis of the maintenance OF
peace, the Russo-French entente aims
to what NJ. De Giers has called ere.
spect for treaties, meaning, especially,
the restoration of Russia's grip on Bull.
garia and British evacuation of Egypt.
The differences in these features of the
situation are not meantime to be re-
garded as constituting danger of war,
as both the Russian and French gov.
ernments desire to assure a strict ap-
plication to the existing treaties by pa
ciic means.
NJ De Giers has further communi-
Gated the fact that no treaty has yet
been signed and has intimated that the
French ministers desire the conclusion
of formal contract as alone properly
defining future responsibilities and
rendering it possible to pursue dis
tinct policy before Europe, while at
the same time avoiding the reproach of
cherishing warlike designs.
The sum of these official assurances
from the Berlin embassy is that the
Paris conferences of NJ. De Giers. in
stead of having an empty character. as
was generally reported, have resulted
In a scheme to maintain diplomatic
warfare against the dreibund and
England, awaiting a more propitious
period for engaging in actual war. De

"Ihere's something behind it,"
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of it,"
But it's a plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. 1t cures
Catarrh in the Head. TO its mild,
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. 1t has a record that
goes back for % years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cures. With Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer p" True enough.
But then you've never heard of
anything like DIR. Sage's Remedy.
