BLACKLEGs BOMBARDED.
The Striking Dockers Stone the Train
Bringing Non-Union Men.


LONDON, April 1.-THE situation in
Hull today is gloomy. Four hundred
additional non-union men arrived to
take the places of unionists who had
quit work. They were at once placed at
work. There are now all together 1000
non-unionists at work on the docks, and
it is thought no assaults will be made
upon them, as they are protected by
dragons and policemen. This morning
as train conveying a number of the
sblacklegs'' from London, as the strikers
term them, was entering the town it was
stoned by number of men who had
ensconsced themselves along the railway
banks. Beyond the smashing of the
windows of the coaches no damage was
done.
The firms in Hull engaged in the tim
Der carrying trade, who, since the be
ginning of the strike, have let their vesss
sells remain idle, announced today that
unless their employees resume work at
once. other men will be engaged to fill
their places.

RACES committed by TURKS. ~
LONDON, April 11.-Advices from
Constantinople show that the British
consuls at Smyrna, Trebizond and other
places in Anatolia have sent to the Brit
ish Embassy in Constantinople lists con-
tanning the names of 1900 Armenians
who are imprisoned on various charges
in the several consular jurisdictions. The
question of the treatment of the Armeni-
an Christians by the Turks is again as
suming importance, and it is reported
that Great Britain will propose the hold
ing of a conference by the European
Powers to consider Turkish misrule in
Armenia 1t is charged that it is COM
mon occurrence for Turks to kidnap
Christian girls and dispose of them to
the owners of harems. If the relatives
and friends of the girls attempt to regain
them they are met with the statement
that the girls have embraced Mohamme-
danism, and this, as a rule, ends the
matter so far as the Armenians are con-
cerned. The Christians are ridiculed
and subjected to gross outrages, and if
they object to that treatment they find
themselves arrested on trumped up
charges, and are always found guilty. 1t
is rumored in London that the British
government will intervene with the Sub
lime Porte to bring about change in the
treatment of Christians.

The Dookers at Hull Still Ugiy-Most
of the Foreign Intelligence Is Gloomy
Less Sensational News Concerning
Home Rule and Other Matters.
LONDON, April IA frightful mining
accident occurred today in a coal pit near
Pont-Y -PIidd, in Wales. The exact num-
ber of lives lost is not known. Three
hundred miners were entombed. The
pit was worked in sections. one seam be-
ing above another. Fire broke out in
the eastern section. From this section
seventy men succeeded in reaching the
surface through the main dip working.
They had a terrible struggle to get out,
forcing their way through fire and smoke.
Many were schorched and all exhausted
when they emerged in safety. They ex-
pressed fear that all those left behind
them in the mine had perished.
The first alarm was given at 2.30 this
afternoon. Sparks from an engine in
the four foot seam are supposed to have
ignited a pile of cotton waste. The
flames spread to the woodwork and
finally ;gnited the inflammable gas in the
seam Two hundred men at work in the
seam raa toward the landing.
MANY we're overtaken by the
fire and smoke and fell, and were left
to their fate. Comparatively few of the
men in the seam reached the landing. AT
the entrance of the shaft.
rescuing party was formed by
the pit surveyor. The party got
as far as the landing at the seam where
the fire started. They were then driven
back by the dense smoke and the sur
veyor took the men back to the surface.
After half an hours rest, they went
down again and forced their way ten
yards into the workings. They found
four dead bodies which they brought
back. Attempts to go further into the
workings were vain as the wood work
was burning and large masses OF ruins
falling necessarily from the roof. One OF
the rescue party who ventured too far
was killed. The men who saved them
selves were unable to give any clear ac-
count of the distribution of the miners in
the mine. Hand grenades, barrels OF
water and pipes attached to fire engines
on the surface were used to extinguish
the flames in the mine. In two sections
of the mine the fire was put out but the
extinction of the flames was followed in
each case by an accumulation of gas.
Another 3 attempt to enter the
seam in which the fire start
ed proved resultless. Although the
rescue party saw six dead bodies they
were prevented by the smoke and heat
from reaching them. The number of
men still in the mine cannot be ascer-
tanned, although it is known to be above
so. At midnight the fire was again
burning in all sections of the mine near
the shaft. The service pipe used to pour
water into the mine has burst, and the
difficulties in the way of quenching the
fire has been increased greatly. The
rescue of the men below is regarded as
hopeless.

In Essex one could wander for whole
summer and never tire of its messy hooks
like Thaxted, with its long struggling
street of many gabled homes, its eXqui-
site church, its strange Moot Hall and its
noble relic, Horham Hall; Cogshall, with
its moldering abbey ruins and curious
"Woolpack" inn; Saffron Walden, hot
bed OF Essex Superstitions, with its ru-
med castle, wonderful old houses and an
tique Sun Inn, which has set the Essex
antlquarians endlesSly by the ears; Finch
ingfield, with its tumble of cottages piled
one upon another, and its quaint tim ber-
built almshouSes like those of Coventry;
st. Osyth, with its remarkable church,
splendid old priory and marvelously
beautiful gatehouse, and Little Dunmow,
struggling, tiny hamlet that it is, but IA
nous the world over for its olden "F'litch
OF Bacon" prize for conjugal felicity.
And If all these were not enough to

esting and beautiful rural England of to-
day, come here where the shires of Bucks,
Berks and Surrey join, and saunter for

the poet Cowley, while Albert Smith, au-
thor of christopher Tadpole' and many
other charming works of fiction, was
born in the same quaint old village.
Datchet, on the Thames, about mile
from Windsor, has the remains of a very
ancient monastery, while Datchet Mead
was rendered famous by Shakespeare in
his wives Of Windsor"
But four miles distant is the quaint and
sequestered village of Horton. In this,
at Berkyn Manor House, lived Milton
with his father and mother when they re-
tired from business in 1852, and here were
written his ''Comus," "Arcades," "Lyci-
das," "LAllegro" and I'll Penserero."
At Old Windsor, two miles down the
river, is one of the most impressive old
yew and cypress shaded churchyards in
England. Its Moat Farm was the hunt
ing seat of Saxon Kings. Mrs. Robin
son, the authoress and the unfortunate
Perdita, is buried here, and its Beaumont
Lodge was the former home of Warren
Hastings.
Bray is but five miles distant up the
Thames. The ''NFicar of Bray" one Sym

who changed his religion four times, in
successive reigns, that he might die in
his living" AT Beaconsheld, TO the
north, near Wilton Park, was the home Of
Waller, the poet, and Burke, the states
man. Here at Slough, two miles to the
north, is the house occupied so long by
Sir William Herschel, and you will see
here part of his great forty-toot tele-
scope, While two miles further, beyond
meadows green, nesting in clumps of
yew and oak, is the olden homes of the
Penns, near which is the messy old parish

1.-THE LAST LEAF.o
TO OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

1t has proved his lot to be
"The last leaf upon the tree"
Even so,
As he sang by happy chance,
Or by thoughts prophetic glance,
Years ago.
Now the "Autocrat" at last
Ger his favorite repast
Sits alone,
With his calm, reflective smile
And the ring of playful guile
In his tone.
Friend of him whose vision whole
Viewed the present ''oVer-Soul"
Wise and calm,
winch with compensation sweet
Joy and sorrow doth complete
Like psalm.
Loved of him who dwelt so near
Natures heart that he might hear
Every throb;
And of him, the wizard sage,
In whose solitude each page
Was sob.
AS he fashioned tales of fear
Filled with ghosts and witchcraft drear
Night and morn;
And of him whose fancy keen
Saw the fair Evangeline
All torloTn.
Last, by him whose sober dress
Hid heart of tenderness
Deep and grand;
Till the wintry blast OF death
With its desolating breath
Swept the land.
Oh, let him the last leaf be.
Gentle time, upon tile tree
Many springs;
While we gaze with reverent brow
AT the quaint, familiar bough
Where he clings.
