John Russell. who has been employed by
the Union Pacific Railway Company as
section boss between this city and Raymo
station for the past five years. was ar
rested at Whitman station late last night
by Deputy United States Marshal e. w.
Madgett, of Seattle, on charge of sending
an obscene letter through the mail. Rus
sell was brought to this city and confined
IN the county Jail. Two years ago Russell
sent 500 to Ireland to bring out his niece,
Mary Russell About month later she
came to Walla Walla and took up her resi-
dence with Russell After being here sew
eral months she began keeping company
with several soldiers at the garrison. Last
fall Russell's wife discovered that the girl
was about to become mother. Upon
questioning her she stated that the son
who had gone to Rathdrum was the cause
of her ruin. Several days afterward, to
hide her shame from Russell the girl went
to Seattle, where she became a mother.
Last week Russell received letter from
the girl. stating that she was in destitute
circumstances and desired money. Rus
sell then wrote letter to the girl, refus-
ing to send money. The girl went before
the United States court at Seattle, made
a complaint, and had Russell arrested.
Russell was seen by a correspondent this
morning. He admitted sending a letter,
but denies that it contained obscene lam
guage. He said his son was probably
guilty of criminal intimacy with the girl,
but he thinks several others equally to
blame Russell waived examination be-

Death Not Due to Christian Science.

SPOKANE, March 12.-[Special. 1T is
reported that sensational dispatches have
been sent from here concerning the death
of Mrs. Henry W. Fitch. wife of the man
ager of the savings department of the
Washington National bank. Mrs
Fitch was a Christian scientist, and a
report gained circulation that she had
died for want of medical attention, herself
and family declining TO call physician.
The local papers Investigated this report
and found it to be entirely without foun-
dation. Mrs. Fitch had been i'll for sew
eral days, but the day before her death
was around as usual and wrote several
letters. Death was entirely unexpected
and gave rise to the sensational
report above mentioned. One of the
most reputable physicians in the
CITY attended Mrs. Fitch through her ILL
ness. Owing to the fact that her grand
father once narrowly escaped being buried
alive on account of suspended animation,
it was decided to defer interment of Mrs.
Fitch's remains until all doubt of death
should be removed. Death occurred a
week ago today and the interment took
place yesterday. Her infant child, which
died two days after its mother, was buried
at the same time.

Together-Modifying School Bill.

BERLIx, March FL Associated Press,
Copyrighted. 1892. The split among the
socialists assists the authorities in distin-
gushing the dangerous anarchists from
the moderates. The anarchist section is
increasing in number. Fifteen hundred
members of this section held meeting at
which they denounced the moderates as
''official socialists and traitors to the
proletariat." The Vor,0aerts, the organ of
the socialist members of the reichstag,
was declared no longer the mouthpiece of
the workingmen. Finally resolu-
ton was approved, affirming atheism
as recognized by the party,
an action which means that
revolution is the method to achieve its
aims. The Torwaerts, replying to this sec
tion, drew distinction between the work.
ing proletariat and the 'lumpen" or
canaille proletariat, the former vindicat-
ing socialism by parliamentary methods,
the latter disgracing the cause of the
workers by riot. The Toruaerts does not
admit that the anarchists are making
any headway, but impartial outsiders note
the rapid growth of the extremist men,
bers, as well as the violence of their utter
ance.
The extremists, Auerbarch and Biester,
are on trial on a charge of melting war;
During the course of the day Biester re-
ferred to the emperor's speech, adding
that if he was condemned for melting
civil war the emperor ought to be also
condemned. The court at once stopped
the case, and ordered the arrest of Biester
on a further charge of lese majeste. Herr
Zumzubeil, an officer of the Berlin mu-
nicipal government, expressing himself
freely on the emperor's utterances, was
also arrested.
The crop of press prosecutions grows
daily. Even obscure papers published in
Leipsic, Mulhausen and Hanover do not
escape the vigilance of the public prose-
cutor. A Munich paper announced the
issue of a cartoon on carnival procession
in which group presented pictorial
burlesque of the emperor's Brandenburg
advice to the malcontents to emigrate.
The emperor wanted the issue of the car
toon stopped by the government authori-
ties. His maiesty's intolerance of criti-
cism approaches craze.
Concerning the compromise on the pri-
mary education bill, the government offer
simply amounts to the inclusion of several
sections omitted from the original meas
uure. The National Liberals will not as
sent to any compromise short of recogni-
ton of religious liberty.
A meeting of $500 unemployed people

THE CHARLEROI MINE ON FIRE.
Two Hundred and Fifteen Men, Women
and Children Perish IN the Pit.

BRUSSELS, March 1.-Two hundred and
fifteen miners lost their lives by yester-
days explosion in the Anderlius colliery,
near Charleroi, but only thirty bodies have
been or will be recovered. The heat be-
came so intense at o'clock this morning
that rescuers were driven from the pit
The fire caused by the explosion spread
rapidly. After it was found that the fire
was gaining strength. consultation was
held between the mine-owners and engi-
neers, and it was decided that there was
not the slightest doubt that everybody in
the mine was dead, and that the only
course left, if it was hoped to recover the
bodies, was to food the mine. Prepara-
tions were made to carry out this plan,
but at o'clock the flames assembled to the
mouth Of the pit, and sparks were scat
tered in every direction.
A few minutes later an immense column
of flame shot through the ventilating
shaft. The sight was grandly magnificent
as the mass of fire shot upward, but it
meant certain death for every person in
the mine. For a great distance arouud
the country was illuminated to almost the
brightness of day. Higher and higher
scared the flames. The heat was so in
tense that the crowd was driven back from
the mouth of the ventilating shaft. The
engine-house and other buildings near by
began to show the effects of heat. The
glass in the windows were broken, the
woodwork began TO warp, and then in
an instant the buildings were wrap
ped in sheet of flame. Mean
time water, which had commenced
to be thrown into the burning
pit, was converted into steam, and escaped
with a tremendous roar. The scene has
seldom is ever been equaled in the mining
districts of Belgium. The destruction of
the buildings on the surface proceeded
without opposition, and by O'Clock only
the walls were standing. All the heavy
machines at the mouth of the pit we're de-
stroyed, and fell crashing down the shaft
Great suffering among the families of
the lost men must result. The govern
ment has ordered the distribution of re-
lief. The fact that many women and chill
dren employed in the mine met death by
the explosion will afford an almost unan-
swerable argument for those opposed to
female labor in underground employment.

THE ENGLISH COAL STRIKE.
All the Miners in Lancashire, Cheshire

All the Miners in Lancashire, Cheshire
and Yorkshire Quit Work.
LONDON, March 1.-THE great coal
miners strike was inaugurated today. At
. o'clock this afternoon the men employed
in the mines in Lancashire. Cheshire and
Yorkshire stopped work. The only men
now at work are the surface men, pump
ers, ventilators, attendants, etc, who
were not called out. In the Durham
mines also work was completely stopped.
The number of miners who quit work at
Nottingham was 10000. The coal stocks
in the Bristol district are already nearly
exhausted, and as result of the strike in
that district the price of coal has gone up
As per ton. Belgian shippers are sending
coal, and Thames colliers carrying these
consignments are expected to arrive on
Monday. The coal porters will attempt to
prevent the discharge of these cargoes, and
it is feared this will lead to a renewal of
the dock troubles. One of the results of
the split which occurred among North
Wales miners is that the men working in
Flntshare will not go on strike, but will
work not more than five days week.
Wooden barricades are being built around
the mouths of the various pits in Durham,
and none of the miners will be allo we'd in
side of these Enclosures. 1t is believed
that at a conference to be held on Wednes-
day next by the Miners Federation it will
be decided to limit the holiday TO week
and to restrict the output during the sum-
mer
Many large industrial establishments in
the vicinity of the collieries banked their
fires when the operatives left work. This
means that work will not be resumed
Monday, the manufacturers refusing to
pay the extraordinary prices now de-
manded for coal. Delegates from all the
collieries have decided to submit. to no re-
duction of wages.

Dwarf Bees.

For several years there has been
considerable inquiry through the bee
journals in regard to the case of dwarf
workers among bees. AS yet /. have
failed TO see even a guess as to their
origin. Last season l noticed them
among some OF my colonies. Some
were scarcely twO-thirds the size of
workers. They possessed sting, but
were not inclined to use it, even when
caught by the wing, unless ill-treated.
They seem to be incapacitated for
gathering honey or work in the hive
and were dragged forth by the work.
ers in the same way they get rid of
drones. This season when straight
ening some crooked brood combs my
thoughts turned on these small bees,
and l also recollected of straighten-
ing some combs last season concern
ing larvae. This gave me satisfactory
cause of the dwarf bees. Straighten-
ing the crooked combs narrowed the
cells on the convex side OF the combs,
which as a matter of necessity made
the workers smaller in those cells.
Doubtless the workers in the cells on
the opposite side OF the combs were
larger, but as they were able to assist
in the labors OF the colony they were
unnoticed. Druid in National Stock
