A Movement on Foot In Aid OF English
Working People.
LONDON, May pa movement Is on
foot to endeavor to alleviate the great
distress which is prevailing among the
working people of Cleveland, district in
the county OF York, which is noted for
its iron mines and its iron works. The
various iron stone and limestone associa-
tions which exist in that place on behalf
of 5000 persons who have been thrown
into a state of idleness through the great
colliery strike in Durham have taken
steps to better the alarming condition OF
affairs cased in ClevelShd by this enforced
suspension of work.
These associations have appealed to the
Queen for assistance for the large army Of
Impoverished people whom they rep
resent. They have pointed out to Her
Majesty all the distressing facts in con-
nection with the matter and have implor-
ed her aid to avert the states OF starvation
to which the residents OF Cleveland are
surely and steadily being reduced.

STATEHOOD.

The Denver News gives the fol-
lowing as the latest from Washing
ton on the question of statehood:
The bill to admit New Mexico as
a state, which has passed the house,
still fingers in the senate committee
on territories without definite action.
An effort is being made to induce
the committee to report favorably at
the present session. Several promi-
nent Republicans have just arrived
from New Mexico to use their influ-
ence with Republican senators to
press the bill to passage before ad-
journment.
The main difficulty which seems to
be presented in this matter is the fear
that if New Mexico is admitted into
the union, two senators, whether
Democratic or Republican, are likely
TO be added to the free silver column,
and therefore the opponents of free
silver coinage are unwilling to take
the risk.
In addition to this Republican
senators express the opinion that New
Mexico is safely Democratic and
that in the present condition of af-
fairs, when the Republican majority
in the senate is dwindling away,
it will be bad politics to take the
risk of increasing the Democratic
array.
Certain Republican senators, who
are anxious to conceal their political
objection, hide them out by claiming
that the population of New Mexico
is so largely Mexican or of Spanish
descent it is impossible TO assimilate
them with American ideas or institu-
tions. Under such circumstances, mo
matter how meritorious the claim of
New Mexico for admission to the
union may be in respect of both
population and wealth, the chance
of passing the bill through the SEN
ate at this session seems very remote.

"About the shrewdest fakir this
country has known recently died in
a Cincinnati hospital. His name
was Robinson Smith. / met him
some years ago in Richmond, Ind,
and took quite fancy to the fellow.
He was in my room at the hotel one
day, and l showed him paper for
which l had lately paid So. 1t was
the something-or-other Gazette, and
purported to have been printed in
1900. 1t contained long notice of
Washington'1 death, which occurred
just prior to its date, and quite lot
of other matter of interest to the an
tiquary. l considered that l had
secured a veritable treasure, but
Smith took me to his room and
showed me two large trunks full of
those ancient Gazettes, scarce dry
from the press. He had printed
them in Boston, and was flooding the
country with them at from 81 to $40
a piece, according o'the size of the
suckers pocket book. Five or six
years ago met him in st. Paul. l
had secured another treasure. 1t was
a choice collection of Confederate
money of all denominations, from
So to sc. He took me by the arm,
and marchipgme to his room showed
me more Confederate money than
the South had issued during the war.
He had press running night and
day making it. When Jesse James
was killed he travelled through the
west and sold to credulous relic hunt
ers about 1000 shirts which he al
LACED the bandit had on at the time
of his death. He cut them up into
pieces about two inches square and
sold these bits at from 25c to 81

ably have sold all the crab apple
