BIG DEMONSTRATION.
Striking Miners Parade at lshpcfn-
ing-WiH Not Listen to Com
promise Talk.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 2.-[Special.l-
The Ishpeming and Negaunee strikers
are holding a big demonstration in Ish-
neminc today. Almost 5000 men were IN
the line of march from the park at noon.
The strike situation is still unchanged
Some of the speakers today made. an
effort to induce the men to visit the mines
to ascertain what concession the com
panies are prepared to make, but the mat
ter was voted down.
The men will not listen to compromise
talk and those who attempt to speak of
effeeting a settlement in that way are
given but little encouragement. Many
of the men desire to go back to work,
but the majority are opposed to 1t, the
latter insisting on recognition of the union
by the companies. 1t is certain, however,
that the companies will not recognize the
union in any regard and will keep the
mines closed until such time as there is
a break in the ranks of the organization.
The companies will oil have paid off their
men in full this week and are preparing
for an indefinite shutdown of their work
ings. The men have begun to remove
their working clothes from the dry"
houses, and one side seems fully as de-
termined to stand out as the other.

GIGANTIC NAIL FRAUDS.
Weights of Postal Car Loads Raised
so as to Increase Rail-
way Earnings.

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 2.-The
Chronicle publishes an article i'll regard
to alleged frauds in the railway mail
service on the Pacific coast. which it
says promises to lead to one of the most
far reaching federal Investigations ever
held here 1t is alleged by railway postal
clerk E. S. Coiver and others that the
United States mails were fraudulently
stuffed with the advice and consent of
Supt. Samuel Flint of the Eighth divis>
ion of the railway mail service during
the month of June, 1894, in order that
the weights carried during that month,
which formed the basis for estimating
compensation to be paid the railroads for
the next four years. might appear unduly
large. Railway postal clerks of long ex-
perience say there are great opportunities
for stuffing cars in such way as to rob
the government of millions each year.
The Chronicle says that this local scandal
opens up wide field for Congressional
Investigation

SEAL FISHERIES SCANDAL.
Russian Officers Sent to Patrol
Behring Sea Slaughtered
the Animals.

London, Aug. 3.-An extraordinary
scandal has just come to light in conncc-
ton with Russia and the Behring sea
patrol About the middle of last Winter
a firm of brokers in Hamburg received
5000 beautiful sealskins with instruc-
tons to forward them to London in time
for the big February sale. which occurs
here every year. 1t was noticed that the
packages did not bear the usual marks
or other indications of their having been
sent through the ordinary channels. and
what will also strike people as peculiar
was that one of the skins had bullet
hole in it. 1t is now reported OH good
authority that these skins were sent by
the officers of the Russian warship which
left Robins island last September and
it is presumed that the enterprise was
the private speculation of those who
were sent there to protect the seals. The
Russians were encamped on the island
for four or five months and. as is custom
AIRY. no one was allowed to land on the
island during their stay there. 1t is
presumed that the crew employed their
inc in clubbing these seals. The skins

on the other side and express consider
able dissatisfaction with what they term
the unjust criticism of the British Press
Capt: Freeborn said: 1--WE were we'll
treated by the college representatives and
the general public on the other side, but
were numerically criticised by the news
papers. All sorts of comment was made
on our style of rowing and the training
of our crew.
I'VE had an enjoyable time, however,
and hope to have an opportunity Of again
competing with the college oarsmen on the
other side.''
Thomas Hall. one of the crew, said:
After the race we spent five days in
London and five more in Paris. A num-
Der of the boys took more extended trips.
1t seems to me that the climate had a
good deal to do with our defeat. We
should either race Immediately upon ar
rival or spend six months there before
starting in a race"
