shadow of France.
1t was this fear that gave Napoleon MS
opportunity. That opportunity he rejected
and the allies then closed In for the con-
elusive struggle. General Wolseley shows
that Napoleon exhibited splendid strategy
and self-control under circumstances well
calculated to break down even his powerful
mind and that but for the treachery and
incapacity of subordinates he might have
given a stunning blow to the invaders. But
the end was inevitable. Napoleon's foes had
discovered his weakness and had broken
the charm of his invincibility. A brilliant
victory for the French would only have
deferred, but would not have defeated,
their triumph
The pitiful situation to which France was
reduced by Napoleon's wars suggests that
the greatest conquerors have been. In one
sense, the greatest enemies of their own
countries, and that the exploits which read
so brilliantly have usually resulted in as
great calamity for victors for van
quished. The most signal proofs of this his
torical fact are to be found in the condi-
ton of Sweden after Charles XII and of
France when Napoleon fell. Sweden has
never recovered the place she held IN Eu-
rope before Charles sought to become an
other Alexander, and France is paying the
penalty to-day for the achievements of the
man In whose name and fame she takes the
greatest pride. as the Swedes admire and
love the memory of Charles XII, although
he found them in purple and left them in
ashes.

to Attack Working Miners.
Coal Diggers' Families Face tc Face
with Starvation-Slandero Charges
Against Chief Sargent.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


PETERSBURG, Ind. May IL. - The
strike of coal miners at the Little mine
has become so serious that a bloody fight
with guards is looked for tomorrow. Some
OF the miners who went out two weeks
ago went back 20 work yesterday. Among
them were nonunion men. This enraged
the strikers and the owner Of the mine
at once began TO make preparations to
guard the mines. Several men from this
place were sworn in as deputy sheriffs and
were placed at the mines with Winchesters
About one dozen more were heavily armed
and placed on guard to-day. 1t is report
ed tonight that large delegations OF miners
from Greene and Daviess counties are on
their way to Little" and will take the
men from the mines at all hazards. The
miners from AYRSHIRE. about two hundred
strong, are also making arrangements to
lend assistance TO the strikers. Sheriff
kingman received a telegram from the
mines this afternoon stating that his serv-
Ices might be needed and TO come immedi-
ately. The operator of the mines denies
that there Is any danger of bloodshed.
but is making preparations 10 protect the
miners in his employ. The guards will re-
main at their post day and night. Serious
trouble may occur tomorrow, for thou
sands of miners will be on the grounds
from a distance. and it is not at all i'm
probable that blood will be shed.
About five hundred miners In the
county are on strike. and many of
their families are on the verge of starva-
ton. AT Little the miners are organizing
themselves into committees to go out to
the neighboring towns to ask for help.
coal panic Is threatened on one hand, and
on the other starvation for the miners and
their families. The latest addition to the
strike In this county is the closing down of
the Augusta mines. Every mine of i'm
portance in the county is closed.
Starvation is not only staring the miners
of Pike county in the face. but it hangs like
pail over every mining hamlet in this sec
tion of the State. Cries Of distress are
heard all over southern Indiana. The
Boonville mines, employing several hundred
men, have at last suspended operation.
This is regarded as big victory for the
strikers

investigation is quoted as saying that
