said:
MILLER is not the name of the man

neither is it the name of the man who
served seven years in the Western pc n

doubt it is true.
"W hen James W. Miller was yet a
child. his father and mother separated.
The child was deserted by his father.
HIS mother died and he was thrown
upon the mercies of the world. Since
that time he has borne bitter hatred
for the father; in fact, he would not
recognize him as his father. That these
circumstances are true. and that Miller's
father is yet very prominent and
wealthy New Yorker, is all that | know
of the mans early history. l have

LONDON, Aug. I5.-Owing to the d
preston in the iron trade operations at
many Of the principal iron works in the
Cumberland districts have been sus-
pended for some time past. and the in
ability of the w0Tkmen TO procure en-
plOyment is causing the most acute dis

thrown out of employment by the stop
page Of the works and a large number
of them have earned nothing for year.
Many families have struggled along,
hoping for better times. bat hope of the

traffic in England and Scotland. The

Certainly. however, the working DeO-
Dle employed in the smaller branches Of
industry have been unable TO obtain
better remuneration for their labor. In
Guided In these are the people engaged

household work. In respect to these,
the old order is passing away and the
competition Of the larger and better or

IN the appointment Of Monroe Nichols.
1t was announced some months ago that
Mr.. Nichols was to have the Duluth Of

up that he was too near the
Minnesota Iron company, and the
appointment was held up for in
vestIgation. The opposition to the
iron company poured out its wrath on
Mr.. Nichols devoted head in the shape
OF numerous protests to President Ben,
and the little president has had a hard
time of it the last few weeks. At one
time within the past ten days he has
been so sick of the whole affair that he
threatened TO appoint new man. Sen
ator Davis, however, stuck to Nichols
closer than brother, and the appoint
ment to-day is the result of his labors.

The British Guards Actually

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The recent cases
of INSTRUMENTATION IN the British army,
and especially in the Grenadier Guards,
have had the effect of making the Su-
periOr officers examine more closely into
the daily life and associations of the
priyates and n0n-commissioned officers.
The result has been the discovery that
an active sOcialistic propaganda has
been going on in the army for some
time past. Several colonies have within
the last few days appealed to the war
office to suppress the circulation of what
they describe Is ''sOciaiistic literature
IN the army. Several of the pamphlets
forwarded with the appeals were not
really SOcialiStic in character, while
there was no mistaking the tenor of the
papers. The authorities are themselves
indiSpOsed to adopt the advice which
has been offered them to take proceed
ings with view to preventing the cir
cnlati0n. One officer, general, has, in
consequence, asked II, in the event of
his inStituting proceedings. he would
receive the support Of the war secretary.

THE HAYTIEN CRISIS.
New Cabinet Not Yet Named by
Hippolyte.

HippOlyte.
PORT AU PRINCE, Aug. 15.-The
resignation of the cabinet yesterday
was owing to the failure OF the cham
bers TO grant a concession for the con-
struction of a telegraph line. The
cabinet had made this a government
question, and as the chambers rejected
the proposition by decisive majority,
they at once placed their resignation in
the hands of the president. HippOlyte
has not yet decided whom he will select
for the vacant places, but is canvassing
the situation carefully. He does not
think the designations will have much
political effect.
The downfall of the cabinet has been
the principal topic of conversation in
political circles, and much curiosity is
manifested with reference to the presi-
dents selection of new ministry. But
the city remains tranquil, SO far as one
cap see. If the disaffected element has
any notion of taking advantage of the
the present crisis to improve its posi-
ton. it is working so secretly that moth
Ing appears on the surface.

late Ritter Won Leonhard, WAC was

Vienna. The viii of the late ehancel-

thousand francs in money. quantity of

instance, dealing in lotteries is not I'M
common in Vienna among people of
high station, ecclesiastical and secular,
but it IS probably the first time that the
pope has been made lottery beneficiary.
