THE SCOTCH STRIKERS.
Michael Davitt Makes a Speech
in Their Favor.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Michael Davitt de-
livered an address at trade uniOnists'
mass meeting held here to-day. He de-
clared that the London railway men
were determined to support the Scotch
strikers in their demand for shorter
hours. John Burns, the socialist leader,
who also addressed the meeting, called
on the big unions to forward $4,000 to
Scotland forthwith. He said he was
going to Glasgow himself tomorrow.
At meeting of the strikers held in
Glasgow to-day Councillor TAFT appealed
to those OF the men who had been rein
stated to rejoin the strikers, saying that
if they refused to do SO they would find
their position uncomfortable when the
cause of the strikers triumphed.
Both officials and men consider that
the coming week, when a general re-
sumption of business after the holidays
is expected, will be a crucial period of
the railway struggle. The outcome of
the fight. it is believed. depends on the
ability of the companies to cope with
the large freight traffic which they will
be called upon to handle. If the COM
panieS fail to handle the business sue
cessfulIy the men hope to be able to
compel the concession of their demands.

VANDERBILTS ACTIVE.
They Will Soon Haye a Through
PENNSYLVANIA Line.

BELLEFoNTE, Pa. Jan. yesterday
there was filed in the recorders office of
Centre county lease which, according
to its terms, was to hold good for 999
years. 1t was lease conveying the
Beech Creek railroad, with all its
appurtenances, etc., to the New York
Central & Hudson River railroad for
the period of time above specified. This
is but another turn in the furthering of
a scheme that the Vanderblts have had
in view for a number of years-the
holding of competing line to the Penn
sylvania system. 1t now only remains
to build about eighty miles more of
road and thus a through line will be
complete from New York to Chicago,
and with few branches built to this
important manufacturing and trade
center in this state, they will be on
good basis to compete with the Penn
sylYania.

HOstiIes


Hostiles.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs has, in response
to telegram sent to Agent Royer, at
the Pine Ridge agency, inquirng as to
whether any of the Indian scouts or po-
lice have joined the hostiles. received
the following reply from the agent
dated Jan. 3: "NOne of our enlisted
scouts have joined the hostiies.
Capt. Seward gave three permission TO
90 to the hostile camp after their fam
lilies, who have not yet returned. Police
and scouts are rendering good service,
and by their vigorous firing prevented
the hostiles from burning agency build
ings." A reporter called the attention
of the commissioner to the reports from
Pine Ridge, saying that Gen. Miles
had recommended the removal of
the Indian agents at Pine Ridge and
at other places, and to the state
ment that the Indians were slowly
starving to death. The commissioner
said that so far as the agents were con-
cerned there was no evidence that there
had been any dishonesty on their part
in distributing supplies. He said he
was preparing for publication full
statement of the amount of supplies
voted by congress and distributed TO the
Indians. The commissioner has sub

From Instant Death by
Her Corset.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 4.-Late ad-
vices from the Caroline islands state
that an era of insurrection and blood
shed set in among the natives and Span
ish troops luartered in this group. The
fact that Admiral Belknap dispatched
the cruiser Alliance to Ponapi to pro-
tect the American missionaries, whose
lives and property were threatened,
equally by Spaniards and natives, was
made known several days ago by intel
ligence received from Asiatic stations.
1t is not merely American residents
who are threatened; every white per-
son on the islands. and Spaniards in
particular, are fearful of having their
property stolen and being murdered.
A traveller named Anderson, who has
been engaged In inter-island commerce
for several years, returned to Jallut in
the Marshall group lately, bring
ing startling intelligence of the extent
of the trouble and its causes. He says
that the natives are superior species
of their race. They did not object to
the coming of the Spaniards until the
latter managed to induce Spain to pro-
claim a protectorate over the group.
Quite recently the Spanish officials in
creased native taxation, which has al
ways been a repugnant feature of their
administration. The natives were OPP
pressed by this new levy, and their re-
fusng to pay it was the leading cause
of the existing troubles. Moreover, the
troops on the islands are in many in
stances drunken, riotious mobs. The
natives armed themselves and had sew
eral sharp engagements with the Span
iards. They were cut down like grass
by Calling guns, and have now retreat
ed into the bush country. The Spanis h
soldiers followed them ard were i'll
turn decimated by the hidden enemy.
The war cry against the whites has
been sounded through all the Islands.
