RiOtOus Miners in Illinois.

A RIoToUs demonstration among striking
miners occurred last week at La Sale, Ill
Mine Superintendent Benjamin Hethring-
ton was beaten into insensibility. The
strikers, to the number of six hundred, held
a mass meeting at which it was decided to
prevent the score or more of men engaged
in cleaning out the mines from remaining at
work. The mob, composed of Poles, Hun
garians and Italians, scarcely any of whom
could speak the English language, and led
by men who had been conspicuous as anar-
chistic agitators, then marched to the mines
across the river, armed with clubs and
Stones and calling out the men at work
there, set upon and beat them brutally. A
few OF the non-union men took refuge in the
company's offices and barricaded the doors
The house was almost demolished by the
enraged foreigners, who dragged the work
men from their hiding places and handled
them very roughly.

African Treaty Concluded.

A TREATY has been concluded concerning
the Congo between King Leopold and the
British government. The king recognized
the British sphere of influence as indicated
in the Anglo-German treaty of July II,
1890, and abandons to England a small strip
Tanganyika, giving England access north
ward toward the Nile. In exchange, Eng
land grants to the king until the end of his
reign the left bank Of the Nile to the 18th
degree. This is considered the most impair
tial African treaty concluded for many
years. and is a master stroke Of diplomacy
on the part of King Leopold, as it shuts out
France from the Nile basin and places the
Congo state under obligations to fight the
Soudan dervishes.
