thence has ceased to be a virtue, and
the business interests that have been
affected by the strike that has pnral-
yzed the chief industry OF this region
for the past seven weeks have risen In
opposition. Learning that the strikers
would give forcihle opposition to tho
deputies who have been chosen to
guard the steam shovels who are COM
ing from outside, II was today decided
TO call for troops. Five companies OF
militia have been ordered out and are
moving towards Ishpeming tonight.
Tho news is gladly received by the
merchants, and many OF the working
men themselves who have not the
courage 10 oppose the strikers. Four
crews of shovelmen arrived by special
train and are quartered at the Lake
Angelina. Lake superior and Cleveland
mines. The ahovels Will be started
Monday morning. There will probably
be no opposition, as the strikers here
who are In this movement will not
be led 10 fight by the men now In
command.
A loss OF over $500, 200 has been
caused thus far by the strike. There
was a large meeting of strikers In this
city today and much excitement was
shown, due to the news that the SHOW
els would be started on Monday. The
strikers have not yet heard that troops

THE PRESIDENT NOT WANTED.


Cleveland Considered Had Hish
by Leading Insurance Company.
washington, Aug. President
Cleveland was seemingly never In bet
ter health than at present. SO far as
outward appearances go, he " SOUND
er man physically than he has been In
years, yet the story IL current In Wash
ington insurance circles that an appli-
cation from him for life Insurance for
q large sum was turned down lately
The story seems TO be authentic, al
though the insurance people are struB-
Cling to keep II confidential and Ia
restrict it's circulation to the strictly
professional limits.
"The president may live twenty
years" said an old life Insurance man
in discussing the Cleveland case from
a purely professional standpoint. and
he may go of any moment. He simply
could not pass the examination. There
Is lots OF glory and advertising In hav-
ing the president OF the United States
ON any compnny's list Of insurance. but
whether It In worth $4,000 or 5000
IL a matter of judgment. / should say
not. and others seem TO be OF the same
opinion"
The president has been fearful OF his
condition for several years. on his
trips he usually has doctor along
:. hundred times he has told intimate
friends that he would die suddenly.
II he should be stricken down and the
prompt attention OF a physician can
save him he intends TO give himself
that chance. Hence the almost con-
slant attendance Of doctor.

PROGRESSING SLOW.
THE CHINESE TRIALS ARE LONG

Uniess America Takes n Firm
stand.

New York. August si.-The World
tomorrow will print the following cable
from Foo Chow, China:
The commission OF inquiry into the
Hwasahg massacre, sitting at ku
Cheng, progresses slowly. over 100 ar
rests have been made. There have
been twelve capltal convictions. The
viceroy retards the work by refusing
10 give the project discretion. There
Is days delay over such questions re-
ferred to the viceroy. The intention Is
to exhaust the patience of the com
mission. At the present rate the trial
will require year The imperial edlet
issued commencing severe measures Is
a mere blind.
Rioters at Hok Chang attacked the
Christians and wounded four, and de-
stroyed houses. The dangerous stu
alton is the fault Of the magistrate
who issued proclamation slandering
the Christians. Unless America. can
be induced to take vigorous measures
II is feared there WIN be general riot
ing. British weakness encourages the
Chinese. The American government is
the only hope. Consul Hixson Is ener-
getic. All the Americans have arrived
at Foo Chow.

THE FL Dorado Times thus describes
Mrs. Kate Addison, the new president
of the Kansas Equal Suffrage associa-
ton:
Mrs. Kate Addison, who halls from
Eureka, Kansas, would rather vote than
talk at a pink tea She has been III
terested in the suffrage question for a
number of years past, but her recent
election as president of the Equal Suf-
frags league of Kansas has given her a
prominence she has not hitherto en-
joyed. She succeeded Mrs. Laura Johns.
Mrs. Addison. has not posed as a Repub-
lican or Populist, and this is one reason
why she has been chosen to lead the
united army of women who are battling
TO win the ballot in the Sunfower state
She is willing to admit, too, that there
may be a woman or so in Kansas whose
vote she cannot control.
Mrs. Addison is said to be utterly un-
like a number of members of her sex
who have achieved notoriety in Kansas
during the past three or four years She
is qniet and moderate in her department
and there is no trace of mannishness
about her. She does not ge around with
a chip on her shoulder endeavoring to
get into a war of words with some other
woman suffragists and she even refrains
from heaping abuse upon men when they
do not happen to agree with her on the
subject of woman suffrage.
She is not at all backward about pre-
senting the claims of her sex to the bal
lot, but she goes about it in a quiet, digni-
fed manner. In her opinion the brow
beating bullying air that some advocates
of equal suffrage assume is not the air
that wins votes and her policy is of the
quiet, tactful. gently persuasive kind.
She does not believe the Equal Suffrage
league should affiliate with any party
but that it should seek to gain success by
exacting pledges from all legislative can
