yween a party of the Brown company

s%ulator, badly hurt.
The trouble occurred nearly two
miles from the works. at the corner OF
Wade park and East Madison avenue
A number of the non-un.onists live in
that vicinity. Eight or 10 of them were
going home from the works together.
Just as they turned the corner a crowd
Of strikers VINO had been in hiding be-
hind a saloon. attacked them. Stones
were hurled. and Joe Plum. one Of the
non-un:Cnists. pulled a revolver ard
fired. Plum was then shot. as he claims
by Henry Smell. a striker. The firing
became general, at least 20 shots hav-
ing been exchanged. The fight lasted
but a few minutes and as soon as it was
over the strikers disappeared. The
Police had not anticipated any trouble
before they had arrived on the scene
and Logan an investigation. Ambu-
larces took the injured men to the hos
p,sal, or their homes, and the search
fer the men who did the shooting was
begun.
The Brown company strike has been
extended to Pittsburg. The strikers

sentative there. He sem back word to-
day that he would probably succeed in

Vardo, Norway, Aug. 14.-Dr. Nam
sen says that the Fran drifted with the
ice In a westerly direction to 81 de-
grees, and he expects the vessel will
eventually arrive at %spit7bergen. He
adds that whenever they penetrated
they found luhe ice broken. Large
patches OF water were also found $500
meters deep. Below the depth of $50
meters, the water was appreciably
warmer, probably owing to the Gulf
stream.
Rocky Bars, OF which the explorer
had no knowledge. prevented an en-
trance into the Olenek river for days.
In consequence OF the scarcity OF
dogs with the expedition DIR. Nansen
was compelled to turn back It S6.15.
He added that II he had been provided
with a sufficient number OF dogs and
canoes. the pole would have been
reached. The land voyage was most
arduous. but extremely valuable scien-
ltiic results were obtained.
In 1895 DR.. Nansen reached the north
coast Of Franz Joseph land and built a
stone house in which he lived the
whole winter. The jackson Farms
worth expedition arrived at Franz
Joseph land the following spring.

Ii HUNG CHANG SCARED.
Pacific Coast Celestials Plot Against
His Life.

San Francisco, Aug. Iii Hung
Chang, China's aged viceroy, is pthreat-
ened with deposition, if not death. A
few days 6 the telegraph conveyed
the information that the diplomatic had
found 1t an urgent necessity to cut
short his American tour. The message
also said that this was mainly due to
The reason that he had been advised
OF threatening political intrigues at
nome, and that after a short stay in
Washington, he would hurry home via
Victoria.
For several days the dead walls OF
Chinatown have been Illuminated with
bright posters proclaiming the pur-
poses OF a new society known as Hing
Chung Woey" and calling upon all pa
tTic':ic Cinnamon to acquaint them
selves with the principles of the new
order. and lend it their moral. physi-
cal and financial support.
The circular complains in the bitter
est terms of the influences brought to
bear upon the emperor by corrupt Of
f" ,ials. and special reference is made to
the viceroy. He is charged with trail
-orous conduct in connection with the
he war with Japan, and incidents are
c:tei at length to shcw that Lii Hung
Gangs relations traded their honor
for Japan's gold during the war.
Members of the local Chinese colony
entertain a bitter hatred for Lii Hung
Chang. The present political move
ment has increased this hatred, and
those who pretend to know the state OF
affairs in Chinatown declare that the
viceroy would certainly be killed if he
came here. 1t is believed that Lii Hung
Chang has been fully advised Of this
fact, and purposes to avoid San Fran
cisco for this reason.

ago. but who has been lost sight of for
the past five years. The robbers are
described as one large and two small
men. The large one is thought to be
Mccarthy.
A second posse was organized at
midnight and left at daylight with sup

necessary. The robbers. travelling I'M

The Bank OF Montpelier offers $500 for
