English vessels, large and small, were
burned to prevent them from falling into

Sullivan had ten thousand soldiers in
Rhode Island made.up of militia and con-

Dull Season Brings Labor
Troubles With 1t.
East End TailOrS' Strike Likely
TO Be Formidable.
Plans for the Celebration of Goth

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The past week has
been the quietest Of the year politically,
socially and in every way. The main
features OF interest have been the silver
question in the west and the Cretan in =.
surrection In the east.
The dull season has brought the usual
disturbances among laborers and artisans
and the long threatened dockers,- strike
seems likely TO come to a head in the
near future. The men at several OF the
naval torpedo works are already out.
trouble is brewing among the Noting
ham lace workers and the east end tailors'
ing firms, and the men will be with
drawn from the other concerns shortly.
This strike is promoted by the middle
men, who get contracts from the big
houses and then distribute them to jour
neymen. The middIemen claim that they
have $4,000 journeymen behind them.
Finally, a London cabbIes' strike against
the privileged cabs at the railway stations
is being discussed and voted on, and will
be decided on August 90.
The past half year has been the most
profitable one for English railroads for
many years. The increase of the gross
receipts of the ~ chief lines is 9l, 800, 900
(s29. 600, 000), or over per cent. compared
with the same period of 1895, while the
expenses show only a moderate increase.
This result is largely due to t he good wea-
ther, which encouraged great holiday
traffic, stationary prices for the supplies
needed and no strikes anna ong the coal
miners.

perhaps the most severe criticism wns
caused by the fact that the French COM
mander should have found 1t necessary
to take the four thousand French troops
with him on his trip to Boston. Tho
opinion generally prevailed that tho Sc
troops might have been left in Rhode
Island instead OF being taken to plsce
where their only employ ment would DO
in watching the progress OF repairs on the
ships. D'Es,ning heard these murmurs
and criticisms. lie was polite In his re-
ply, but persistent and went TO Boston
with his whole expedition, ships, troops
and all.

Sullivan, however, for the purpose OF
'tSking advantage OF the Abandonment
of the north end OF the island by tie
evening, moved before the time agreed
upon and failed to notify D'Estaing of
his change of purrose. This caused de-
lay and ultimately caused the defeat OF

with his whole expedition, ships, troops

Sullivan was not so polite, though
much more frank, for In his general
orders he said that America might "be
able to procure that by her own arms
which her allies refused to assist In OBJ
tanning" The feeling against the French
for Withdrawing the troops was very
were not always safe, for 1t Is recorded
that one French officer was killed In
brswl growing out of D'Esta ing's with
drawal nf his troops. General sullivan
finally determined to attack the British
at Newport on Aug. 70. He saw that IL
anything was to be done it must be
done at once, for many of the volunteers
were already returning to their homes as
they were doubtful Of success without
the assistance of the French. The roads
leading to the town, as well as the hills
near it. were occupied by the American
forces.
The British were the first to move.
They advanced from their intrenched line
and made an assault at several points
with great vigor, but they were repulsed
everywhere, the Americans meeting and
repelling them with remarkable steadi-
ness. For several hours ths bottle ragged
furiously though 1t may be remarked OF
Sullivan's entire force only fifteen
hundred men had been under fire before.
1t wat noted also during the desperate
struggle than no soldiers engaged be-
haved with greater bravery than the raw
colored troops in one of Greene's regi-
ments who three times repulsed the furi-
Gus charges of tho veteran Hessians.
The Americans were driven at
length from some positions but their
entire loss was only little over two
hundred while that OF the British was
over a thousand. A dispatch from Wash
ington the next day warned Sullivan that
the British were about to be reinforced
and so retreat was begun and in the
course OF the night the whole army
crossed 10 the mainland al Tiverton.
Ii was fortunate move, for the follow
ing morning the British vessels carrying
the reinforcements were in Newport
harbor.

DULL LONDON MARKET.
French Opposition to the Nile Ex-
petition Had an Adverse Effect,

LONDON, March 22.-The stock market has
been very dull for the week, and the chief
business has been in investment securities.
Owing to the continued cheapness of money,
the proposed Nile expedition, and the irrita-
tion displayed that account by France,
has had an adverse effect on the markets in
general, and on the foreign securities, ,espe-
cially Egyptian, Spanish and Italian secur-
tiles being lower, the exception being Portu-
guese securities, which were better on the
scheme for the conversion of the debt. The
result of the bimetallic debate in parliament
has caused weakness in silver securities,
it being seen that the presence of a few BIZ
metallic advocates in the ministry will not
influence the government policy. Mines were
inactive. American securities were still de-
pressed on commercial troubles in America.
1t seems impossible for this market to regain
favor with the English specializing public.
The decreases for the week were as follows:
Louisville & Nashville and Northern Pacific,
3%; Reading frsts, 21@; Erie seconds, 2;
Atchison fours, Denver preferred and Wabash
skies, 1a4; Illinois Central, 11a: Atchison and
Wabash, IA Lake Shore and Union Pacific,
1 other decreases fractional. The stock ex-
change elected a new committee on Saturday
as a result of the agitation against the pres
ence of old men on the committee who failed
to march with the times There was the
usual number of eleven candidates, of whom
seven were elected, most of them being
younger men representing the interests of
the mining market.

WOMEN RIDERS RETURN.
EarnswOrth Won First Place in the
SAN Francisco Race.

Gus Hansen, "The Rainmaker" and
phenomenal long distance rider of Min
neapoliS, arrived home yesterday morn
ing from San Francisco, accompanied
by Misses FarnSWorth, Peterson and
Mack, the women riders who engaged
In the recent long forty-eight hour 60
as-you-pleaSe race at the Golden
Gate.
I'VE had very pleasant trip to the
coast" said Hansen, and found San
Francisco as crazy on the subject of
wheels as any other burg in the coun-
try, not excepting Minneapolis. They
have at least one feature of the cycle
craze in that city that has been over
locked here, L believe. One of the most
popular restaurants is known as "The
Bloomer Cafe" You can guess why it's
so popular. The girls who wait upon
you, after you wait upon them, are
simply stunning creatures arrayed in
the most up-to-date twentieth century
costumes to be had.
'Women'S bicycle races are some
what Of a novelty in the coast town,
and this was fully demonstrated by the
attendance at the recent race The
Minneapolis girls were in evidence
again, and Misses Farnsworth, Peter
son and Mack took first, second and
third places, respectively. The races
were run over an eight-lap track.
Il have not yet completed arrange
ments for my coast-to-coast ride, and
will not make any definite plans till
after the cycle show, which opens at
the Expo From ali accounts, guess
1t will be a big exhibition, and quite UP
to the standard of the Chicago and

While we have no accurate data showing
the production Of coal during the past year
it was undoubtedly in excess of l. 600 900 tons
And now that the mines at Belt are we'll open
ed up the output this year will probably ex-
ceed two million tons. This is more than the en-
tire output Of the nation half a century ago.
However the output OF coal in the United
States at this time is in excess of 175, 900 900
tons. These figures furnish the mind with
some data of the probable deVelopement of this
industry in our state in the near future and
prove conclusively that coal is one of the
world and an essential element in the pros
perity and advancement of civilization.
Hon. Jerry Collins, of Helena, in an
address brought out some interesting
facts about the climate of Montana, in
which he said:
Our mountain ranges stand sentinel to
Keep him at sofe distance. Flowing in
January and February and seeding during
the latter month are not unusual with our
farmers. During the present season many
nelds were broken in January and a large
area sown to wheat and oats last month
The breakup of the Missouri river and its
tributaries occurs from four to eight weeks
earlier here, near the sources Of the streams
than at Bismarck, Pierre or Yankton 900
miles east and south of Great Falls. These
might be extended to much greater length
but the limits Of this paper will not admit
of 1t.
By its fruits we judge the tree and by the
same standard the climate of Montana may be
confidently gauged. What state, to illustrate
has made greater progress in the past twenty
years in stock-growing, both in the general
advancement of the industry and the char
acter of the animals produced. Kentucky
which was for years pre-eminent in turf
matters and the home of the thoroughbred
decade by this young state, which is now
generally conceded to be the best breeding
ground for the race horse known, where the
highest type of that animal may be and
actually is produced.
The same general effects are witnessed as
regards stock of all kinds. The long-horned
runty Texas calf, brought to this state, will
weigh One-third more at maturity than it
would under the most favorable circum-
stances if reared on it's native heath. The
best range beef and mutton that goes to
marts of Boston; the best untamed and un-
regenerate cayuse on earth, capable of the
greatest effort and endurance-all hail from
Montana. The superiority of these products
of our boundlesS ranges is generally con-
ceded and again I insist that it is not blood
or Drawn that makes the difference, but eli
