heading to the Rush-Ivanhoe tunnel at
Leadville, Col, Friday night, where nine
men were at work. Bob Wilkinson was
torn into atoms, Gus johnson died an
hour later Jack Alcott had both eyes
torn out, three others had legs broken
and were internally injured, while three
were badly bruised. The explosion was
caused by one of the men strikiag giant
powder in one of the shots with drill
President Daz has given orders to the
comman der's troops on the northeast
frontier that no more persons be shot OF
punished without previous trial by
com petent authorities. This has been
done in view of reports published in the
United States of arbitrary executions
which, as rule, are exaggerations put
in circulation by bandit or smuggling
residents there, headed by escaped felons
like Gercia and Sandoval, who gave but
false revolutionary news.
A dispatch from Rio de Janeiro states
that the elections for members of the
new chamber of representatives will
take place in January. Congress will
revise the constitution and will retain
its republican and federatve character.
The dispatch further states that a com
mission has been appointed for a sum-
mary trial of persons charged with be-
ing enemies of the republic, and upon
conviction of that charge they will be
banlshed from the country.
An election was held Friday for a
successor in parlip,ent to the late Chas.
Stewart Parnell, who represented Cork
city IN the commons. Parnellite candi-
date was John E. Redmond, and Martin
Flavin, butter merchant of Cork, was
the Mccarthy candidate. The influence
of the priests was with the McCarthyites
They made house to- house canvass of
the voters, following immediately after
the Parnellite canvassers and threaten
ing the electors with all sorts of horri-
BILE things if they voted for Redmond or
failed to vote for Flavin. In order to
avert any possible disorder the polls
were strongly guarded by police. Many
priests were stationed about the booths
mingling with the voters and giving
them final instructions and admonitions
or making final appeals before they
entered the polling booths.
The United States supreme court
chamber was crowded Monday morning
by distinguished members of the bar,
who we're present to hear the argu-
ments in the "Sayward" Behring sea
sealers case. Ex-Secretary Bayard and
Atty Gen. Garland of President Cleve-
lands cabinet, ex-senator Edmunds and
Senator Mitchell of Oregon, Representa-
tive Springer of Illinois and others we're

Ter, Solicitor General Taft, Joseph H.
Choate of New York and others, who
will take part in the argument. Justice
Bradley, who has been in very feeble
health for several months past, was
present. The court will therefore hear
this and other important cases and JUS
tice Bradley will take part in the hear
ing of such of them as his health will
permit and the others will 60 on with
out him.
In spite of the drizzling rain fully
1000 people participated in the demon
in the memorial services at Chi
cago Sunday in honor of Parsons, Spies,
Engle, Fisher and Lingg, the anarchists
who suffered death four years ago.
There was street parade with the red
flag furled and draped in mourning, fol
lowed by speech making at other graves
Of dead anarchists. Addresses we're
made by Henry Welssmann, editor of
the New York Bakers Journal; Morris
Schobe, editor of the Arbiter Zeitung,
and H. Mikelander and they were al
most reverent in their character. The
dead mon were extolled as martyrs of
the labor cause. Eighteen secret socie-
ties were represented and each brought
floral offerings. One of these was
scaffold of roses with the legend in Ger
man, Though dead they still live; long
live anarchy" Mrs. Lucy Parsons
house was decorated with crepe. Early
in the day red flag floated over the
roof, but the police took it down.
A Washington special states that the
contest is now in dead earn
est. The democratic war horses are
and the big guns are on hand.
It is a contest between Mills and Crisp,
and the stock of the Georgia candidate
is rising somewhat. The election was
certainly in his favor, as when the free
trade issue was pushed the republicans
seemed to win, but Mills must be the
speaker unless the democrats abandon
the lines upon which they have been
fighting. Free coinage has been pushed
to the rear and the tariff is the issue of
the fight. While the contest is going on
Tor the speakership the candidates for
the smaller plums are gathering. Mon
tana is after the postoffice of the house,
. place now held by a republican. John
of Helena is now here
pushing his claims for that position.
The new states demand recognition
equal to that secured by Congressman
Carter. Democratic spellbinders are
coming in with demands for places for
heir work in the last campaign, and the
for lively time is very good.
