"Doing" the Cheap Jack.

A cheap Jack was trying to attract an
audience In market town the other day,
and by way Of astonishing people he first
OF all offered a genuine half sovereign for
auction and declared he would really give
1t to the highest bidder. People were skep-
tical at first, but after carefully examining g
the coin, they concluded IL was a good
one, so bidding began at I'd. and rapidly
went up to Is.
Above that point, however, things went
on rather slowly, as a vague shadow OF
misgiving was apparently abroad, until,
on reaching the sum Of So. Cd, no further
bids were forthcoming. The hammer fell.
"Here you are, sir, it's yours" says Jack
TO rustic who had made the last bid.
"Hand over your ss. Cd. please"
But the simple swain knew better. "Ah,
I'm agreeable, sir, ;" said he, "but Just give
me the change.", So the half sovereign
bought itself, and the calculating rustic
walked off with the Is. Cd. to the amuso-
ment and astonishment OF the audience

WASHINGTON, May THE Chinese
treaty was under discussion for six
hours by the Senate ir executive session
to-day, but that time proving insufficient
for its disposal, it went over until to-
morrow, when Senator Morgan gave
notice that he would again call it up.
Speeches were made favorably to its
ratification by Senators Morgan and
Sherman of the Committee on Foreign
Relations and by Senator White of Cali
fornia. while Senator Perkins of Califor-
MIA spoke in opposition.
Senator White offered some amend
ments to the treaty, providing fer closer
restrictions upon registration of return
ing Chinese. and said that, with this safe
guard added, he thought the treaty would
be acceptable. Indeed. without the
amendments, he would probably vote for
the treaty as, in his opinion, it was an in
ternational confirmation OF the present
laws of this country against Chinese
immigration.
Senator Perkins took the opposite
view, and contended that the ratification
of the treaty would mean the throwing
down of the bars to the Chinese, and that
it would undo all that had been done in
the past two years to restrict or control
immigration. He objected to much OF
the phraseology of the treaty, and con-
tended that if it was TO be ratified at all,
as he did not think it should be, it should
be very carefully amended in many par
ticulars.
Senator Morgan and Senator Sher-
man urged that the treaty was a
favorable one to the United States,
declared that it accepted and con-
firmed all our anti-Chinese legisla-
ton, and said it opened the way for the
amicable extension of our trade with
China and the improvement of our rela-
tions with that country.
The only vote taken during the execu-
tive session was on Senator Mitchel's
motion to consider it in open session, and

CRIME IN THE COAL REGIONS.
LAWLEsSNESS PREVAILING IN THE
WYOMING DISTRICT.
Thirty-Nine Mysterious and Brutal AS
sassinations Committed Within
the Past Three Months.
Special to the REcoRp-UNIoN.

PORT RICHMOND (Pa.), May For q
lengthy period much lawlessness has pre-
vailed in the Wyoming coal-fields, and
hardly week has passed since January
that crime of heinous character has not
been committed. Within the last three
months crime has been on the increase,
and Captain Whalen, Chief of the De-
tective Department. states that thirty
nine mysterious and brutal assassinations
have been committed, beside the con-
summation of other dark and atrocious
deeds. In every instance the crimes have
been traced to Hungarians and Slavo-
mans, who have managed to escape.
Entire communities have been terror
lied by members OF an oath bound or
ganization whose influence appears to
reach from the anthracite coal regions ol
Eastern Pennsylvania to the bituminous
country of Central Pennsylvania and
west of the Allegheny Mountains to the
coke country.
The criminal records of the sections OF
the State enumerated show that during
the past year over 200 murders have been
perpetrated, and but seven of the MUIR
derers were apprehended.
The same body of organized outlaws
committing these crimes have also been
=
property, and the value alone OF the coal
breakers and other mine works destroyed
in the anthracite country amount to
nearly S2,0O0,000. So great has been the
outlawry within recent period that the
authorities have determined to adopt
more,resolute measures to ferret out and
apprehend the law-breakers, whose oper-
tions have left a crimson trail in the
black diamond country.
RESORT TO DYNAMITE.
BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), May 7.-About
midnight a mob of 200 went to the mines
of Thomas Price, on Horse Creek, Walker
County, where the miners refuse to join
the strikers, put dynamite under the
boiler and engine and blew them up.
They destroyed the main ways of the
mines, the supplies and other property.
At the Victor mine they blew up q rail-
road car loaded with timbers. Several
other cars they turned loose down the
hill.
Sheriff Guthrie telegraphed Sheriff
Morrow and the Governor for assistance,
when the mob dispersed and he counter
manded the appeal. Several of the ring
leaders are being hunted. Governor
Jones has put the troops upon orders.

GRATz tAustria), May IA diver to-
day reached the seven tourists impris-
oned in the stalactite cavern at Seuraich
since Saturday, April 2Sth, owing to the
sudden rise of water and the passage be-
coming blocked with timber and bowl
ders. They are all alive.
The news that the tourists who have
been so long imprisoned were still alive
caused the utmost satisfaction among the
crowds of people who gathered about the
cavern in order to watch the work of en-
gineers who have been toiling night and
day ever since they were ordered to the
spot, when the local authorities an
Tnounced their inability to force an en-
trance into the cavern. The engineers
had very difficult task in making an
opening into the cavern. The entrance
was blocked by the timbers, powders
and flood bars. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary to use dynamite in order to clear
away the distractions which prevented
the entrance of diver into the cavern.
The engineers were compelled to work
slowly and with the utmost caution. as i5
was feared that a too severe explosion
might bury the imprisoned people be-
meath tons of rock.
When all was cleared away another at
tempt was made, and the diver succeeded
in descending the mouth of the cavern.
The engineers were notified that all the
tourists were alive. They appeared like
people half bereft of reason. The terrible
nervous strain to which they had been
subjected had almost driven them mad.
The tourists must have taken consider
able supply of provisions with them
when they went into the cavern over a.
week ago, as they still had, according to
the diver, a little bread and cheese left,
and they had some candles burning.
The imprisoned tourists informed the
diver that they had gone through terrible
anxiety; that they had been able to hear
attempts to rescue them, but the work
seemed to progress so slowly that they
had almost abandoned all hope OF being
rescued. They were in constant dread of
being buried beneath falling rocks.
In the afternoon the rescue was COM
pleted. Six were able to emerge from
the cavern unaided, but the seventh was
so exhausted that he required assistance.
Emperor Francis Joseph was notified of
their safety and expressed supreme salts
faction.
A dispatch to the Times from Vienna
says when connection was made with the
entombed tourists they shouted: I'VE
are all alive and well, and still have pro-
Visions" As soon as possible milk
and brandy in bottles were hauded to
them through small opening, and they
were asked to Withdraw as far as they
could to allow further blasting. There's

Prominent Chicagoans Out for Inter-
national BimetalIism. esss
CHICAGO, May 6.-Chicago bankers,
merchant princes and manufacturers
whose names are widely known have
come out for international bimetallism.
Marshal Field. Lyman j. Gage, George
Pullman and fifty others of wealth and
importance in the financial world have
signed creed, with bimetallism as it's
basis, and pledged themselves to promote
it's adoption as an international financial
system. This is the outcome of confer
ence held short time ago by several
prominent financiers. At the confer
ence the following statement of princi-
pies was prepared by committee:
The committee is formed for the pur-
pose of promoting the establishment of
international bimetallism upon the gen.
eral plan of the Latin union, but with a
broader basis. Those concerned in the
movement, while earnestly opposed to
the free coinage of silver Or any increased
use of silver by this country independent
of international action or agreement, be-
lieve that the repeal of the purchase
clause of the Sherman Act affords fit
ting and fortunate opportunity for adj
vancing the cause OF international bimet-
allisn. They believe that the day is not
far distant when the necessities OF COM
merce will compel the international use
of silver as well as gold in the currencles
throughout the world.
Franklin II. Head, who was appointed
Secretary of the committee, set to work
at once finding others of the same belief,
and up the present time has secured the
signatures of fifty prominent gentlemen.
In addition to Messrs. Field, Gage and
Pullman. the list contains the names of
P. D. Armour, Franklin McVeagh, John
r. Walsh and many others known in the
commercial and financial world.
Speaking OF the matter tonight, Mr..
Head said: eff England will enter an in
ternational agreement to accept bime-
tallic system every other great power
will do the same, and gold will cease to
appreciate, prices will stop falling and
prosperity will be universally restored.
If there is not some kind of change
soon India will be as bankrupt as Argen-
tine, Guatemala, Turkey and Egypt are
now, and England knows it. That is
why the time is ripe to make a move for
international bimetallisn. Universal re-
monetization of silver is wnat we want.
70 adopt free coinage in this country in
the absence of such an agreement would
be fatal TO as. Let all nations adopt it
and we shall see an end of the world
wide depression in prices which has fol-
lowed the demonetlZation of silver in

bly, in memorial to Congress or in an

him from serious if not fatal injury.
Rudolph was arrested and charged with
