OTTUMwA, Iowa, Feb. 1G.-There is great
distress at the mining town of Mystic on
account of an arbitrary ruling of the Iowa
Central A month ago the eighteen mines
were running and 500 miners were busy.
The output was 1000 cars per month but it
is reduced now to practically nothing. The
change has been brought about by a
manipulation of freight rates by the Iowa
Central. The markets for Mystic coal are
at Mason City. st. Paul and Minneapolis
and by delivering it at Moravia the Mystic
mines have been benefited by the short dis
tance. 1t has, however. refused to give
less rate than the Milwaukee, which route
is 1876 miles farther. and this have given tho
market to Centerville. The Mystic people
have appealed to the railroad commission
ers for redress.

of preparing the programme. Among the
laymen WAS Judge Il. Il. Dunno, OF Ohio
Under date of Dec. 10, Dunno wrote a per.
sonal letter to Editor Allen, of the Church
Progress and Catholic World, of st. Louis
giving his views in regard to certain de-
cisions of this committee. This letter, in
some way, came into the hands of Rev. G.
Kuhlman. who sympathized with the views
expressed therein, and he had the letter put
in print and sent copies to all the cardinals.
The letter was received in Rome a few days
ago and has created considerable of SEN
sation in ecclesiastical circles. Kuhlman
prefaces Dunne's letter with statement
over his own name to the effect that tha
decision reached by the American prelates
were displeasing to himself. Pallen, Dunno

In the proposed programme Dunno as.

temporal power and the question of Catho-
lie education. The archbishops, who were
presided over BY Cardinal Gibbons,
changed the whole plan and took the con-
gress into their own hands, recognizing the
iaymen as auxiliaries only. Dunno criti-
cises this as a usurpation of authority. He

New York, and it was proposed to make Il

ST. Louis, Feb 16.-The Republics El
Paso special says: A we'll known mining
man, who has just returned from Chihua-
huo, reports that country in very unset
tied condition. He says the revolutionary
movement the.e is sympathized with by
the lower classes and that they are daily
gathering arms and perfecting their organ
lzatlon. In several instances they have
already rehelled and won victories against
federal troops. The movement is urged on
by the priests. who hope to overthrow this
present government and resurect the con-
stituton of 1872. One priest at Temdchi
claiming to he saint, has complete con-
troll over tho Indians for miles around.
Urged on by him the people for miles
around have declared against the govern
ment and SO serious did the movement be-
come that the federal oops were sent.
The first detachment OF troops soon fell
under tho influence of the priests and
Joined the revolutionary forces. The sec

tionists and Il fight epsued. in which
twenty regulars and nine rebels were killed
and many wounded on both sides. The
troops succeeded i'll capturing the town,
but the rebels escaped to Sonora. robbing
and plnndcrlng on route. Following closely
upon this another battle was fought ut Las
Almas, In which the reyolutionists came
out victorious, and without the loss of
man.
Eight federal soldiers and their COM
mandant were killed and the arms and am
munltlon captured W. 10 distributed among

the departure of tho miner, still hel tho

swarmed men eager to join the movement
until the federal soldiets surrounded the
town and permitted no ono to en.er. A few
days later there was a skirmish ut Yeckerv

ment delivered by Lord Wildwood at
Edinburgh is one which might make
the lowest turf or card sharper blush.
Lord Wildwood conveyed his belief
that the game in which the drunken
man was induced to engage might not
have been fair game; that no game
could be regarded as strictly fair in
which the only loser was in state of
hopeless intoXication. and that cOnse

Publicly Branded as Thief.
Many more points might be cited from
this disgraceful recapitulatiOn Of Of
lenses. but the above is sufficient to
show the manner of person:ls this bright
specimen of British hereditary legis-
lators. 1t really seems monstrous that
the man-lf he can be called such
who tried to rob drunken acquaintance
of the sum of $4,000 should be allowed
to escape punishment, while beggar
who might steal five pence from Lord
Ailesbury'S pocket would be houuded
off to jail.
Summed up. the case stands that in
the opinion of one of the judges of the
land Lord Ailesbury has cheated a
drunken man at cards and obtained a
check from him for large sum. not one
farthing of which will find its way into
his pocket. or into that of his accom-
plices.
This Is not the first occasion on which
the Marquis OF Allesbury has had a
little difficulty about check obtained
under somewhat similar circumstances.
Hereditary legislators are cheap today.
