WARRANTS FOR WALTERS.
Leader of the Kansas Coal Strike to Be
Placed Under Arrest.

PittsburS, Kas., July 2O.-Two war
rants for trespass are out against PreSi-
dent Walters, of the mine workers
one for Crawford, and the ether for
Cherokee county. Notices have been
|poSted for some time forbidding the
strikers to enter upon the coal lands,
but these have been disrc@arded by the
strikers, who have been inducing the
miners at work to quit. Hence this
action. The papers have not yet been
served, rs Walters is at Rich Hill,
Mo, and will so from there to Beyicr
EN-Assistant Attorney General Allen,
who has been employed to represent
the miners III southern Kansas in their
fight against the coll companies, loft
Topeka for IittSburg this morning
There is going to be Il hot legal fight"
said Mr. Allen, and | believe we will
win. Today is the last day Of grace
allowed by the companies before they
attempt the eviction of miners. If this
is attempted, | shall Immediately bring
action against them for violating the
ANTITRUST law. | shall also cndeavor to
have the county attorney. or the attor-
ney- general, institute proceedings to an
nul the charters of these companies for
violating this law. 1t is plain to me
that it is being violated, and l think
we can forfeit their charters. So far as
the miners are concerned the first thing
| expect to do on reaching Pittsburg is
TO advise them to keep within the
bounds of the law. There is considera-
BILE talk Of riots just now but l believe
the men understand that their only
chance of winning this fight lies in
moderation"

Kansas to take the places of the strik-
ing miners. 1t is thought they will be
sent to Pirtsburg and from that place
distributed to all the affected mines
in the state. Trouble.and perhaps blood
shed, would undoubtedly follow such an
attempt.

HOW MINES ARE FOUND.
Prospecters Plunge Badly and Reckless
ly Into the Woods.

New York Sun: Out in western
Washington civilization is confined to
a narrow strip along the borders Of
Puget sound, and to some of the best
agricultural lands that lie in the large
wooded plains about its southern end.
All the rest is covered with great rocky
mountain ranges, cleaved by deep,
dark valleys, and covered up to the line
Of perpetual snow with heavy forests
of fir and cedar.
Every spring hundreds of prospectors
plunge into this wilderness on a search
of gold and silver, some On their own
account, but. most of them go grub
staked by local capitalists, that is all
their expenses are paid, and in return
they give a half-interest in whatever
mines they may discover. With a
rife, a Ratchet, a bag of flour and
frying-pan slung over his shoulder, the

MODERNIIED ROME.

Rome, in twenty or thirty years,
has become like any other European
city,-big, noisy, vulgar, overgrown,
Frenchified and syndicate-ridden,
hardly to be distinguished from Lyons
or Turin, except that it has in the mid
die Of it's streets some enormous mas
ses of ruins, many huge, empty con-
vents, and some vast churches, ap-
parently abandoned by the church.
But the ruins, which used 10 stand in a
rural solitude ike Stonehenge or
Rieveulx, are now mere piles Of stone
in crowded streets, like the Palais des
Thermes at Paris.
The sacred sites of Forum and Roma
Quadrata are now objects in museum.
The Cloaca are imbedded in a new
stone quay, and are becoming mere
exhibit like York House water gate,
in our own embankment The wild
foliage and the memorial affairs have
been torn out Of the Colosseum and the
Aelian bridge is overshadowed by
new iron enormity. Rome, which
thirty years ago was vision of the
past, is today a busy Italian town,
with dozen museums, striving to be-
come a third-rate PhTis.-Frederick
Harrison in The Fortnightly Review.
