Not . sucosssfui Mine Strike.

PHILLrPsBURe, Pa, Oct. 21.-The indi-'
cations are that the miners strike will not
amount to much in the Clearfleld and
Beech Creek coal regions whatever 1t
amounts to In other regions. At Osceola
Saturday night mass meeting was held,
and was attended by miners from all the
mines In that district, some eight or ten.
On the question Of going on strike the
vote was almost solid against, and q rcso-
luton was adopted not to attend any mass
meetings In neighboring towns. Along
the Beech Creek railroad the following
mines voted against going on striker Par
dee, Lancashire No. ., Glenwood, Gear
hart, Decatur, Royal, Acme and Forest.
The Morrisdale mines voted to suspend
work until Thursday and II the balance
Of the region was not out by that time to
return to work. 1t is believed the Houtz-
dale miners will take the same action as
the Osceola miners.

LONDON, Dot. si.-The st. James Ga.
Eettc follows up its disclosures regarding
the policy Of the Right Hon. Joseph
chamberlain, secretary Of state for the
colonies, regarding Venezuela, and the
apparent determination Of the British
government 20 uphold lbs claims by force
Of arms, by making the following impor-
tAnt statement;
"We are In position to state that the
Marquis Of Salisbury has sent an ulti-
matum 10 President Crespo, which NOT
only sets out the demands OF the British
government for reparation on account Of
this arrest Of the deputation and inspec-
tors OF police at Uruan, but II also states
the terms upon which Great Britain will
definitely Determine the boundary dispute
with that republic The ultimatum is now
en- route to President Crespo, II it Ia not

position Of the Venezuelan matter, the

pute. No answer to Mr.. Bayard's dispatch

The Standard says: 1.-THE Venezuelan

longed or doubtful complications. The

frinRed by the Venezuolans in encroach-
ing upon soil indisputably British. These

been overlooked had not the outrage by

6AT FRANCISCO, Oct e1.-The story of
the terrible storm that reoently swept tho
Gulf of California has only been limited at
In the meager dispatches that have been
received from Mexico. The first word
picture Of the gale In Its awful entirety is
drawn by Captain Vanhelms, master Of
the steamship Willamette Valley, who
has Just arrived from the region devas-
tated by the cyclone IL Is now apparent
that this whirling wind storm will go
down in history as one Of the most fear
fully destructive ever known.
The difficulty In getting news from the
wind swept and water ruined country has
seemed as strange as the storm itself. The
cyclone swept over country remote from
railways and all means Of commnnica-
tion. Tho telegraph wires were all pros
trated, and many Of them will remain
down for weeks to come. At Guymas lit
tie or nothing seemed to be known. Letters
received from points within the stricken
area were incomplete, full Of doubts, un-
interesting and mostly written In Span
ish, and poorly written at that. These
reasons and others as potent will account
for the fact that the world will first learn

the state of Sinalos through Captain Van
helms, nearly three weeks after the ey-
clone.
The fury Of the storm was not most felt
at Lapaz, as had been supposed, but at the
interior plateau town OF Culiacan. The
storm burst in the mountains back of this
important town and the waters worked an
awful wreck. Between twenty-five and
thirty people were drowned outright, and
many others were injured In the raging
flood that rushed through this city. Gull

of the richest silver mines the world has

= When the storm struck the ridge Of high
mountains back Of the city there was such
downpour Of rain that in an incredibly
short time the canyons were full Of water,
pent up by the very quickness with which
1t fell. After the climax and the fury Of
the elements was reached this water de-
scended from canyon to valley and valley
