Ottawa Out, Oct. IA strike of the
members of all railway organizations on
the Canadian Pacific seems to be mimi
uent.
The trainmen, firemen, conductors, loco
motive engineers and trackmen at Ottawa
and all the leading divisional points along
the line to the Pacific coast held mass
meetings last night, at which resolutions
We're passed synpathizing With the railway
telegraphers and approving OF the stand
taken by them; expressing willingness 10

upon the grand officers OF the different
orgauiza ations to at once call out their men,
bership on the Canadian Pacific Railway
system, If necessary.
Montreal, Quebec, Oct. 1.-The strike
situation OH the Canadian Pacific railroad
at this point is favorable TO the company,
which is now beginning to move some
freight trains. A good many operators are
being sent from here to points vacated.
Some of the men who did not leave
work on the first day of the strike have
now gone out. The train men are interest
ing themselves in the settlement OF the
strike and have appointed committees
to try TO bring the telegraphers and the
company to agree upon compromise.
Advices from winnipeg say the locomo-
tive engineers are likely to support the
striking telegraphers. Freight in Mani
toba Is badly blocked by the strike, but
the passenger trains are moving though
some what behind time. From vancouver
comes the report that yesterday freight
train moved east and another west, and
that dispatching points are now partly
manned from the coast 10 Winnipeg.
Freight trains are moving TO and from til e
maritime provinces, but large number Of
small stations are entirely closed.
The strikers regard the Ontario section
from Montreal to Windsor as their weakest
district, and they have sent cmissaries
all over that section TO try to stiffen NJ
strikers and induce others to go out. 1t
would appear now that if the trainmen
and engineers do not extend helping

The State May Produce $40, ,ooo, 900
in Gold the Coming
Year.

The State Mining Bureau for a number
of years past has been accustomed,
through its agents, to prepare a table of
mines in operation in the State, together
with the number of men employed in
each mine. The report for the current
year has just been completed and affords
the most convincing evidence Of the re-
viyal of the mining industry on large
scale.
The remarkable activity noted is con-
fined to no particular mining section of
the State, but everywhere, whenever a
chance exists that money is to be made
by the extraction of the precious metals,
men are found who are willing to stake
their time, money and labor against the
chances of rich discovery; mines that
have been abandoned or were, under the
old system of mining. Improbable, are be-
ing drained. retim bered and put in order for
a renewed activity, placers that were
thought to be exhausted are to be worked
again and hydraulic mining, under the
new laws, has returned to life again.
In quartz mining, however, the largest
development is anticipated. Ore can be
reduced so cheaply under present processes
that mines producing low-grade ore are in
active demand owing to the fact that SO
much development has usually been ac-
complished on these mines that only small
capital is required in order to place them
in working order again. The following
shows the number of miners EMPLOYED
and registered mines in the reproducing
counties of the State in the year 1896:

GRIEF, REM0RsE AND SUICIDE
Tragic Sequel to an Illicit Love-Efope-
ments Criminal Operation and Three
Untmely Deaths,

LOS ANGELES. CAL, Aug. Civilian
James Relland, a young railroad mechanic
of Seattle, shot himself through the brain
in the presence of Coroner Campbell this
evening at about O'Clock. Grief over the
death of his paramour and fear of crimi-
nal prosecution were the causes of Rel
lands act.
The woman was Mrs. Jennie Snyder,
who had deserted her family for Relland
and come here last month. She died last
Wednesday from the results of criminal
operation In which Reiland was concerned.
Mrs. Snyder left Seattle last June with
Relland, bringing her daughter Jennie
along.
They took a cottage in East Los Angeles,
where the tragedy occurred to-day. Mrs.
Snyder discovered that she was about to
become a mother, 80 the operation was
performed last Friday, she dying yester-
day. Relland buried the foetus in the back
yard. He acquainted the woman's hus-
band with her death and asked for money
for the funeral expenses.
Mr.. Snyder asked Attorney ]. N. Phil
lips to look after the child. The lawyer
told Reliand that he was liable to prose-
cution for his part in the operation. Rel
land took poison this afternoon, but not
enough to kill.
Coroner Campbell visited the place this
afternoon about o'clock to investigate
and discovered the fuetus. Relland saw
him and became angry at the officers
presence. After some words Reliand went
into neighbor's home. There DR.. Camp
bell followed him, after first having or
dered his deputy to notify the police de-
tectives to come.
The Coroner talked with Relland in
order to keep him until the officers ar
rived. There was noise in the yard and
the Coroner looked out of the window in
the hope of seeing the detectives. The in
slant DIR. Campbell turned from him Rel
land sprang into an adjoining room and.
drawing revolver, sent bullet crashing
through his brain, dying almost in
stantly.
An inquest YVES held tonight on the re-
mains of Mrs. Snyder, the jury deciding
that she had come to her death from in
ternal hemorrhages, the result of pune
ture of uterus from an instrument in the
hands of DR.. A. Shorb, who had been
called to attend the woman on Friday,
when the operation was attempted.

Louis A. Garnstt, whose experience as a

Louis A. Garnett, whose experience as a
miner in this State has embraced almost
four decades, regards the present revival
of mining with unmixed satisfaction.
The withdrawal OF nearly 10 900 men from
the ranks of the non-producers has AL
ready, in his opinion, produced an appre-
ciable effect upon the oversupply of labor
in the great centers. The demand for
labor of all kinds at the new mines that
are being opened promises to reduce the
surplus greatly, and the prospect is en-
corraging that between agriculture and
mining there need not be an idle man in
the State in 1897.
The reports from all the mining coun-
ties are unanimous in their statement of
better conditions resulting from the re-
viyal of mining. The Quitting of pros-
pectors has improved the business of the
country towns, enabling the merchants to
liquidate their debts to the jobbers and
order new goods. The iobbers in this City
say that the out6tting demand has saved
the springs trade.
California produced in 1895 in gold and
silver SIS, ,934 ,107 SO, a moderate advance
over the amount produced in 1894. John
J. Valentine, superintendent of Wells.
Fargo & Co., predicted that 1896 would
show figures approaching $i7,5O0, GOO, but
now admits that his estimate may be ex-
ceeded. With the prospects of new pro-
ducing mines and rich districts. discovered
but undeveloped, and the employment of
10, 200 new men in the industry, it is conf
dently believed by many that California s
total for 1896 may reach the magnificent
figure OF $50 000, 600.

st. Mary's Cathedral was crowded last
evening to hear Rev. P. G. Yorke's lecture
upon the subject of what the Catholic
Church Has Done tor Science" The lee
tnrer held the close attention of his large
audience for almost two hours and cited
many historical incidents to refute the
accusation that the church was opposed to
the progress of scientific knowledge. The
reverend gentleman spoke il substance as
follows:
1t has become kind of superstition that all
religions, and especially the Catholic religion,
are antagonistic to science. If you take up
the newspapers you will see that 1t is the
duty OF the Catholic church TO stifie all scien-
ton of the doctrine OF infallibility After this
the world threw up its hands and said,
This is the end OF learning and the death OF
knowledge
When Christ sent his apostles forth he did
not teach them the multiplication table nor
instruct them in chemistry but in the doctrine
OF faith which he came down from heaven to
So the church has her sphere of teaching
apart from the teachings of science, and she
has tenaciously resisted intrusion into her
scribe to them but were free to go outside, but
within she would brook no dogma other
than her own. Yet her teaching has
overhOwed into the realm OF scientific matters
and she has become the fostering mother of
that knowledge. 1t is when the church re-
fused TO fall down before the secular theories
that the world said she was opposed to science
If we find that the Catholic church has been
marching in the van of civilization, that she
has been the fountaInhead OF the learning of
the ages If we look back from the vantage
ground of history and see her the nursing
mother of science. can we echo the accusation
that she has opposed the advance of knowl-
edge?
We will find that she has led in educational
research, and she has not been afraid of the
light. When the darkness of barbarism came
down in Europe till it seemed that the learn
ing OF the time would be quencned in the
gloom of an Arctic night, it was the church
that turned the vandal from his work OF de-
sJruction. No sooner had the invaders come
in contact with the Church of Rome
than they forgot their ferocity and bowed
before that which they had attempted to de-
stroy. Then were their feet planted in the
path that led to our modern civilization. She,
the Mother Church, like the prophet OF
old. gathered up the fire of the altar and hid

Negroes Not Cittxens.

PERRY. o. T., Aug. 6.-By a decision
handed down by Judge Adams, Chief JUS
tice OF the Supreme Court of the Greek
Nation, the names of over 1700 negroes
are stricken from the rolls of citizenship
of the nation. The decision holds that the
action Of the Indian council, after the
passage of the emancipation act by the
United States, in admitting the negroes to
tribal relations was unconstitutional and
therefore at this time invalid. Since the
passage of the act these negroes have
drawn in annuities from the Creek Gov
eminent over million dollars, have held
positions of trust and have improved their
farms. From the decision of the court
there is no appeal.

FULTON, Mo-, Aug. 6.-Yesterday the

thirty feet from the top, and diving down
some four feet under the water, drew the

Slowly Mrs. Hopkins drew her precious
load to the top and after hard work they

change appears. The total number of men
employed is increased by 9006, or almost
double, while the number of recorded

the men employed is apparently in those

are located, though the increase in the
