STRIKE OF FRENCH MINERS.
A Determined Struggle Begun in the
 Coal Fields Of the N orth.

A NeteFm1neO StruSSIc bcSun Tn the
 Coal Fields of the North.
 PARIS, Nov. 16.-The threatened strike of the miners in the extensive coal fields of the department Pas-de-Calais was begun this morning. This action was brought about by the refusal of the mine-owners to make concessions to the men. A meeting of delegates representing 50,0OO miners was held at Lens on Saturday last and a general strike of the coal miners in the north of France was decided upon. In &C., cordance with this decision $500 miners employed in the collieries in the immedi- ate vicinity of Lens refused to go to work this morning.
 The fact that the miners have grounds for their dissatisfaction is shown by tel egram received by Deputy Basley, who presided at the Lens meeting on Saturday, from Constans, minister of the interior, in which the minister said that it was the in tention of the government to push legisla- ton dealing with miners grievances. The Pas Calais miners are determined to make a desperate struggle to succeed and ther have received promises of financial and moral support from the miners in the Loire and St. Etienne coal districts.

 rest.
 VANCOUVER, B. O., Nov. 16.-Customs Inspector Lewis yesterday morning saw two white men talking in suspicious manner with Chinese on the steamer Elm press of Japan. Suspecting opium-smug- gling he attempted to investigate, when the whites ran away. The Chinese, how ever, attacked the officer and beat him un- til he was unconscious.
 Later he identified two of his assailants, and Chief of Police McLaren and two con- stables went to the ship with warrants for the men. On attempting to capture them, the entire Chinese crew surrounded the officers, armed with knives, hatchets, etc., and a fight seemed imminent. The police retreated to the hurricane deck, and finally gave up the attempt on the promise that the men be produced in the police court this morning. The police were not armed: It is thought that the Chinese are excited by the recent riots in China, end believed the whites wished to injure them.

Damaging Evidence.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 16.-The spe- cial Investigating committee on the police department submitted its report tonight to the board of aldermen. With it is the testimony of three illegal rum sellers, who claimed they had done work for the depart nent and been protected. The most dam aging feature was the admission of the mar. shal that on one occasion he notified an unlicensed man that his shop was to be raided. James Henry, who received this warning, is an ex-convict, and notified the police of Dr. Blood's presence in the city the night before the proposed raid, and the "tip" was to keep him good natured.

 RIO GRANpE Cry, Tex, Nov. 16.- News received here to-day says that on the 18th instant Catarino Garza and about one hundred men met several hundred Mexican soldiers twelve miles from Mier on the road to Guerrero.

The fire was returned by the revolutionists, causing the death of three soldiers, and one was badly wounded and is now in the Mier hospital. The gov ernment force fell back in disorder.
 Garza, according to reliable accounts, has not been out of Mexico since he entered it on September 15, but has been working up revolutionary feeling in the states of Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon

UNABLE TO SECURE TICKETS.
Mismanagement at Ehe Sale of Foot
 ball Tickets by Harvard.

encouragement at Ehe Sale Of Foot
 ball Tickets by Harvard.
 BOSTON, Nov. 16.-The Globe says there is bitter feeling and great disappointment among large number of Harvard men over their inability to secure tickets to the Harvard Yale football game next Saturday at Springfield, and they lay the blame upon F. w. Moore, manager of the liar yard eleven, who had charge of the sale at Cambridge. The sale of reserved seats began at s o'clock this morning and in a short time only about eighty people had bought tickets, but they had absorbed the entire supply on hand, many buying from forty to sixty each, although no man was supposed to be allowed more than ten unless he had a written order from Moore. It is said that several players and substitutes had as many as seventy-fve tickets re- served for them, and the average number appears to be about fifty. About 2, 100 tickets were sold at Cambridge this morning altogether, and, allowing 1000 for the team, there are still 1 400 tickets remaining. The explanation offered to the affair is that they have been sent to some of the Boston clubs, especially to the Boston Athletic association. No ono disputes that the ten-ticket arrangement was carried out, but the trouble seems to be that apparently everyone who asked for Moores permit received it. The result of all this mismanagement,a as it appears to be, is that there are about 300 men at Harvard who will be unable to see the game simply because they cannot get tickets to the grounds at Springfield. The | indignation at the college is intense and is increasing every moment. Men who paid l $5 for place in the line last night could not get single seat. The line began | forming at o'clock yesterday afternoon. Places were in great demand and many a young fellow made $5 by selling his place.
 Students took their places early in the evening and then exchanged with come of | their friends. One can easily imagine how
 they felt when they the seats all gone.
 l According to the Globe the affair has
 not been settled by any means. Turnstiles are to be placed at each entrance to the field, but these Harvard men say that nc
 turnstile will be able to keep them out oi
 the field. There is . possibility that in
 stead of 10000 people to see the game the
 number may be 30,000 or even more, and
 many of those who make up that number
 do not propose to pay for their seatt
 either It is said that at Yale nc
 man, whether 8 member of the eleven ol
 not, has been allowed more than three
 tickets, and that there are enough to gt
 around. A similar policy, if pursued a
 Harvard, would have brought about mor'
 pleasing results.

Entertainments. HYPrpI0E TErArrR

The Austrian Juvenile band, consisting of forty young musical prodigies, will be heard this evening only. A delightful en- tertainment is assured. Crowded and de- lighted audiences heard them in Boston. New Haven is one of the first cities to have the chance to hear them. Every boy has been in training for the past five years under one leader, the famous Lambert Steiner. who is a scientific music arranger and composer. He leads them as we'll through their affections as by his execu- tive force and ability, and they follow him as though they were a single individual, rather than an organization of forty or more persons.
 w. s. Cleveland's Consolidated Minstrels appear tomorrow evening. Everything is new and bright this season, not a vestige of the old show remaining. Mir Cleve- lands idea of making his shows larger and better with each succeeding year, he de- cided to put more money and better talent in his Big City Show" and devote his time to making this company the greatest minstrel enterprise ever organized. The company numbers over fifty artists. A fine program will be given.
 A very small audience greeted Miss Min na Gale last evening, owing doubtless to the inclemency of the night. But although scsnt in numbers, it was generous in the praise which the production so richly mer- ited. Miss Gale is generally acknowledged to be an artist of the highest type, and in the part of the Duchess of Padua appears at her best. The company also is one of the best, nine of them being formerly in Lawrence Barrett's famous company. MT. Creston Clarke is especially deserving of much praise. ''The Duchess ot Padua" is written by Oscar Wilde, and is in plot somewhat after the manner of Romeo and Juliet.

aRAND OPERA uorsy

That excellent vaudeville combination, the Howard Atheneum company gave very entertaining performance last evening to a crowded house. The bill was opened by Josie and Eddie Evans, whose special ties were followed with a capital example of lightning change" work, furnished by Fulgora. Then came acts by Fake and Semons, musical comedians; Nile. Ena Bertoldi, the Ailisons, Duncan, the ven triloquist; Melville and Stetson, Kara, Golden and Quigg, and, as an agreeable finale, A series of acrobatic feats by the Brothers Braatz. Miss Ena Bertoldi, & handsome young lady of seventeen years, is one of the best if not the very best equil- ibrists ever seen on the local stage. Her performance is most decidedly thew and novel, many of her achievements being actually indescribsble, and entirely origi- nal with this great artiste. She does so much and does it so artistieally that words scarcely give any adequate idea of the miraculous evolutions indulged in by this artiste par excellence. The company re- mains this and tomorrow evenings and to- morrow afternoon.
 "The Fire Patrol" which introduces & genuine fire patrol wagon, and a stamp IQlll WlIu lLlc NOIk. and is withsl an excellent sensational melodrama, will be the attraction the last three nights of this week.
