ASHLAND, Wis, April 29.-In the great
game between the Illinois steel company,
the Carnegies and other big steel produc-
ers and the iron ore companies of this re-
gion, a startling move has been made and
all the mines, excepting the Aurora, have
closed down indefinitely. Ever since the
close of the navigation last fall the Hi
nois steel company and the Carnegie firm
have been endeavoring to force the price OF
Bessemer ore down to 81. 80 per ton. The
iron mining companies stoutly resisted
the movement which would have resulted
in the humiliation of profits in many cases.
The entire business interests of the iron
mining region will be paralyZed if the dead
lock should long continue.

y dispatch from Durango says that 800
Nayajos have captured Tom Whites trad
Jug post mission at Hogback, on the San
Juan river near Welsh's ranch. The
homes of other settlers are surrounded by
Indians, who are threatening to kill and
burn. James Handy arrived from the
scene of action, which is about seventy
miles south of Durango, and after securing
a supply of ammunition for the settlers
changed teams and returned at once
Agent Bartholomew wired the Indian de
partment regarding the situation. but the
Navajos are beyond his jurisdiction and he
can do nothing.
Advices have been received from Durango
idly north from Pennington, New Mexico,
toward the Colorado line. Governor
Waite ordered special train over the Rio
Grande TO carry eco stands of arms and
$4,000 rounds of ammunition to the local
military company at Durango, which is
ordered out. The entire ten companies
of the Colorado National guard have been
ordered to report for duty ready to move
at once to the scene of trouble
The Nevajos number fully $1,000 and
are the most formidable of their race
Probably no tribe has so sigually redressed
its wrong inspired scattered settlers
with so great a degree of terror as the Nav
aios They are among the rudest and least
intelligent of all the tribes. The first out
break of the Navajos occurred in 1859. but
five wears later they were subdued by that
famous scout, Kit Carson.

CRASHED THROUGH A BRIDGE
Seven Persons Killed and Many In
jured in Railroad Wreck.

A despatch from Danvile, Va. says: An
awful accident occurred at the county line
treste, Just east OF Milton by which two pas
senger cars and sleeper were Treclptated
into the creek below, distance OF sixty feet,
killing seven Pc sons on right and wound
ing number of others.
After passing through Milton and going
over the trestle the engineer, Peyton Tun-
STALL felt the bridge giving away. He threw
open the throttle, and the engine, tender
and box car got safely owe, but the passen-
ger car was too late. The span went down
under their weight. The cars were shivered
into kindling wood, and the escape OF any
OF the passengers WIGS miracle. The water
in the creek had risen tc the depth of twelve
or more feet, and it is the general belief that
the rise had undermined the foundation of
the iron piers. On the train at the time
were about sixteen persons, including the
train hands.
The dead were removed to the railroad
depot at Milton, where they were kept until
the arrival of the corone. from Halifax
Court HOUSE, the accident occurring on the
the lifax side OF the creek.
The loss will be very heavy to the railroad
company, as the cars and a full span Q! the
bridge are q total loss.

SCORES WERE KILLED.
Bloody Conflicts in Bcmbay Caused by
a Hindoo Holiday.

The religious race rioting was resumed in
Bombay, and for several hours the streets
were the scenes Of desperate conflicts The
fighting was OF the most sangulnary nature.
and large number of persons were killed
and wounded.
The day being Hindco holiday the
authorities anticipated renewal of the
recent disturbances, and were, in q measure,
prepared to suppress an outbreak, but the
police and the force of troops in the garrison
were inadequate to cover the whole city, and
before quiet had been restored in one district
fresh outbreaks would occur in other parts
OF the city.
The rage OF the mob was directed espec-
tally against the mosques, several OF which
were sacked and burned. All the public
buildings are now guarded by troops, and
the gunboats in the harbor have been cleared
for action and brought into position to cover
the native quarters. The local authorities
are confident of being able ultimately to
quell the rising,

BERING SEA DAMAGES.
The Question Of How Much Is to Be
Paid to the S:izsd S3alers,

The main interest officially in the Boring
Sea decision now centers in the question OF
damages that this country will be obliged to
pay Great Britain for the use of seal hunting
subjects who were kept out Of Boring Sea
through the operation of the modus viyendi,
or were seized as poachers prior to an agree
ment.
In accordance with Article 5 of the con-
vention for the renewal ofthe Tndus vivendi,
the arbitration tribunal must decide how
much compensation is due Great Britain
from the United States to be used for British
subjects, for abstaining from the exercise OF
the right to take seals in Boring Sea during
the tendency OF the arbitration. 1t is under
stood that the Commissioners of Arbitration
have already passed on the subject.
But the main question of damages for
seizures made il not in go settled condition.
Nothing in the arbitration treaty, or the con-
vention for renewed OF the modus viyendi
makes provision for allowing damages IL
per- ons who have been injured through
the unlawful seizure of sealing vessels, end
it is stated at the Department of State that
the matter must take the course usually fol-
lowed in diplomacy.

Chicago is Visited By Another
Distressing Calamity
MANY PEOPLE INJURED.
Women and Men SO Seriously
Scorched and Bruised that Sew

Lamp Causes the Accident
Some Narrow Escapes.

Chicago was visited again BIZ terrible
Are. in which Ave people were burned to
death and numb2r were seriously injured.
Tn, theatre OF the accident was the old
! Senate Hotel, in Madison sire t, near Fifth
avenue. The flames we're first discovered
about A. NJ. The night clerk, William
Barabino, had stepped out OF the office into
the wash room, when he heard a crash.
He Mt first thought that the noise was
made by passing wagon and paid no atten-
ton to it. Finally he opened the door and
fouadthc hall full OF smoke. He ran down
stairs shouting "Fire." BY the time an
alarm had been sent out the whole lower
part of the structure was in flames AMI
panic-s ricken people were leap:ng from the
windows. stream OF water was soon on
the burning building and the work OF rescu-
ing the guests begun.
Joseph Wilson was the lr5t man to escape.
His roommate, Harry Gavarna, slid down an
iron pipe, AMI man named Morton started
inter him. The latter lost his hold and fell,
severely injuring himself. About fifteen
people leapcd from windows, and were ali
severely injured. Many women were carried
down ladders and others down the burning
stairs by 1remen.
The first bcly taken from the ruins when
the fire was gotten under control was that
OF Harry Godfrey, q seven-year-old son Of
j. Godfrey, OF Buchanan, Wis. The other
bodies, four in number. were soon found
md removed. They were all taken to the
NORGE. They were thnse Of Edward Short,
OF Chicago, an unknown man, and tive
women.
The scene during the fire was an exciting
one. Mrs. Ohrens and her daughter Annie,
who slept in tho front part OF the third floor,
were the fl1ct awakened by the clerk. A
moment later they and the other occupants
were flying about, seeking an avenue OF
escape. Annie and her mother CROPPED their
way through the sitting smoke to the win
dow and stood out on the sill.
The crowd below yelled to them not t.
Jump. With cooperation the women chung
to the fans work, keeping as far out as
possible, while the smoke and flames burst
through the windows AROUND them.
Although badly burnsl, they remained
there until the arrival OF the first hook and
ladder company A ladder was raised and
they were rescued. man whose identity
is unknown next reached the window. The
flames were already scorching his almost
naked body and he jumped to the stone
pavement. He was picked up in nm Gncon-
scious condition.
In all five people were killed, and many
others were so badly injured they can scarce
ly recover. at the Cook Cjunty and Mercy
hospitals others are moaning with pain in
tho wards as to be unable to tell their
names.
The building WIS an old one and was
regarded as a fire trap for some time It
was totally destroyed. The financial losses
are snail The fire has created feeling OF
insecurity among people in the other cheap
hotels, and many Of them are seeking better
places. The fire was caused bv the explosion
of lamp.

Fabrics Made Oh stone and Glass.

In Russia there has for a long time
existed a tissue manufactured from the
fiber of peculiar filandrous stone from
the Siberian mines, which by some Sc
cret process is shredded and spun into
a fabric, which, although soft to the
touch and pliable in the extreme, is OF
so durable nature that it will never
wear out. This is probably what has
given an enterprising manufacturer the
idea Of producing spun glass dress
lengths. The Muscovite stuff is thrown
Into the fire when dirty, whence 1t L.
withdrawn absolutely clean and ready
for use, but the spun glass silk is sim
ply brushed with a hard brush and
soap and water, and is none the worse
for being either stained or soiled. This
material is to be had in white, green,
lilac, pink, and yellow, and bids fair TO
become very fashionable for evening
dress. II is an Austrian who is the in
ventor of this material, which is rather
costly. Table cloths, napkins-nay,
even window curtains, are manufact-
ured thereof.

A Scouts Tribute 10 Custer,

Living in comparative retirement
In neat cottage on Ashby avenue, II
South Berkeley, is a man who enjoys
the distinction of being pei haps, the
only white person who witnessed the
massacre of General G. A. Custer
and his little band of cavalrymen
by hostile Sioux on the Little Big
Horn River on June Is, 1876.
Josiah J. Rose is the man. He
spent nearly six years with General
Custer as a scout, first entering the
service in 1869, after Clusters restora-
ton to his command. Custer was at
that time suffering keen mental tor
ture because of his suspension two
years before for cruelty to his men
and for having left his command
without permission.
The charge of cruelty against Gus.
ter was, in Roses opinion, absolutely
groundless. This Judgment is based
upon his subsequent intercourse with
the general in the Bad Lands Of
Dakota "a relationship which re.
suited in the discovery by Rose that
Custer was "a whole souled man with
a heart like womans."
Il have often read, here and there,
articles upon General Clusters char
acter as a man and soldier" said the
ex-scout to the writer. Nearly all
of these were incorrect, particularly
those in which he was charged with
being cruel and heartless towards his
men, and all that sort Of thing. Now
/ know he was man with a big
heart, kind and considerate. He was
a strict disciplinarian, however, and
this, no doubt, was the cause Of the
attacks upon him. But he was a
thorough soldier, with soldiers idea
of duty and discipline. That cannot
be regarded as fault in a command
ing officer on an expedition where
the observance of all rules of army
discipline is essential to safety and
success. San Francisco Chronicle.
