Tho Mine Strike in MARYLAND.

Advices from the Georges Greek region
are to the effect that majority Of the
men want to continue at work, but that
the strikers and their sympathizers are
intimidating them. The dispatches add
that while no violence was attempted the
strikers, who number between 100 and
800 men, are prepared to resort to extreme
measures to carry their point. Some of
the mine owners are in favor OF posting
notices upon the company's property call
ing upon the strikers to return to work
within specified time, and if the notice
is disregarded to discharge the men and
start up with new forces.

A wampum cryptogram.

A graduate of Swarthmore college, pro-
f1cient in the languages and noted for his
devotion to cipher reading, or, as he pre-
fers to call it, the cryptogrammic art, has
recently had his attention directed to the
deciphering of Indian wampums.
''It is a common mistake" he says, Ito
refer to wampum belts as Indian money.
The Indians prize them highly not only as
ornaments, but for their historical value,
because in reality they were records of
tribal traditions. Each shell, quill, stone
or piece of carved wood attached to the belt
had meaning, just as printed words have
to us, and the elders of tribe knew how
to read and compose them.
''There is famous wampum belt owned
by a remnant of the Iroquois, near Syra-
cuse, composed of nearly 1000 pieces of
shell, quill and bone, which relate the
story of Champlain S invasion. i claim 1t
is not necessary to have any knowledge of
the Iroquois tongue in order to decipher
that belt, and after some preliminary prac-
tice with specimens In the Delaware coun-
ty institute and elsewhere purpose seri-
ously to undertake the deciphering of the
great Iroquois cryptogram. .'-Philadel-

for the benefit of the Unitarian church of
this place, one OF the attractions was the
representation of dime museum freaks

more people to the ground, which fortunate
ly was but ten feet below.
One lady had both ankles dislocated. and
a gentleman suffered similar injury to
his wrist. No one else was seriously injuI ed,
though many received bruises and cuts,
and every one was badly shaken up.
Among the latter was Congressmn Elijah
Morse.
Landlord Mowry did everything possible
for the injul ed. and a large force of work.
men are making the piazza secure against

ANOTHER DEADLOCK.
The Harbor and River Appropriation Bill
in Danger.


Washing ton, July 31.-The tariff bill is not
the only measure over which there is
deadlock between the two Houses of Con-
gress. The river and harbor bill. which is
now in conference, is not only deadlocked,
but it was intimated this morning that it
may either fail altogether or its further
consideration may be postponed until next
winter. The fact leaked out that the House
conferees have taken determined stand
and fatty informed their Sena torial asso-
ciates that they. will not consent to the in
crease made in the bill by the upper House.
The bill as it passed the House carried
total appropriation for thejnext: two years
of Sl8,0o0,000 in round numbers. The Senate
increased the appropriation S3,5O0,000. The
bill has now been in conference for some
days and thus far the Senate conferees
have yielded only $655,0C0. This is not
enough to satisfy the representatives of the
House. They claim that the increase on
the part of the senate Is mot only unwise
when the straightened conditions of the
national finances is remembered, but that
these increases have been made with an
amiable desire TO please individual Senators
and not because the necessities of this case
demanded them. 1t is understood ttey may
retire from the contest and leave the whole
matter in the air until the next session.

An Official Statement.

Yokohama, July 3l.-The Japanse
governm ent has issued the following
official statement or the differences
which led to the rupture between China
and Japan: Japan and China were ap-
preaching q settlement of their difficult
ties when China suddenly requested Jap
an to withdraw her fleet from Corea
and to give formal compliance with the
Chinese demands by the goth, otherwise
the whole Chinese forces were TO land
and sea advance on the part of China
was to be made. The Japanese regarded
this as acting under the advice of friend
ly powers, and they agreed to the pro-
posals in priciple, in an amended form,
but at the same time declaring that if
the threatened Chinese advance was
made on the goth it would be regarded
as menace to Japan."- The Japanese
assert that the claim that Kow Shing
was flying a British flag is false. They
also deny with Indignation the charges
that the officers and crew of the Japanese
cruiser that sunk the Kow Shing were
brutal in their treatment of the Chinese
sailors struggling in the water.
