Miss Borden by name, telling her that

in your hands and in the hands of my
counsel" Judge Dewey then charged
the jury. fle read his charge rapidly
and among other things embodied there
in was the caution to make their decis-

murder and said the degree is to be de
fined by the jury. The jury was allowed
to retire and counsel agreed upon what
exhibits were to be put into thecase after

Labor Troubles at the Kansas Coal Mines
Seem Hard to Settle.
PTTTsBURG, Kan, June 2l.-A final at
tempt is being made this evening to set
tie the miners strike. Committees from
the strikers and mine owners met at I
o'clock. Each party made final propo-
sition. The proposition from the oper-
ators is 80 cents per ton on yearly con-
tracts or pay op the old basis for lump
coal only, weighing on top and bottom,
guaranteeing cents per ton more than
they were getting before. 1t can not be
learned what the miners propose. 1t is
generally thought that if a settlement is
not reached today the operators will ship
negroes in and put them to work Many
of the striking miners are now destitute
and the aid they haye been receiving
from business men will soon be shut off.
A number Of them have signified their
intention of going to work Immediately
il settlement is not reached at once.
a special meeting has been called by
the United Smelter Men of America for
the purpose of taking action to investi-
gate the discharge Of union men and to
discuss other matters pertaining to the
miners strike, as it is understood that an
other cut will be made in their wages if
settlement is not made at once

all in the state of Washington have fall
en- into the official hopper as a result Of
reports made to Secretary Carlisle by
Special Treasury Agents Wood and
Lewis. These reports are numerous and
circumstantial as 10 detail, and tell a
story OF one Of the most extensive and
successful conspiracies ever formed TO
smuggle Chinese and opium into the
United States across the northwestern
boundary.
There has been hardly day for the
past two months that reports or tclc-
grams have not been received at the
treasury department from Agents Wood
and Lewis, aud on these reports the
officials have zen summarily dismissed.
