young merchants seemed to be represented,
and the speakers urged those Of that class

tinction. A Hamburg delegate resented
this. He declared that he represented q
body of young merchants and said that he
would not have taken any part in the pro-
ceedings if he had known that he was ex-
pected to assist in Socialist Congress.
He seemed to be the only anti Socialist
delepate present,

The superstition that pirates no
longer exist is quite erroneous. The
Rifian pirates Of the mountains oppo-

work in defiance Of all nations. When
we consider the case Of the Armenians

easily perceive how feeble the civilized
world has become.

WAS HUNG IN EFFIGY
CRANE PRONOI<ES INDIGNATION OF
HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Boise, but Went Back on His
Promise.

Occur d'Alene, Idaho, Aug. 30,-The
indignation here over A. A. Cranes
action in going over to the gold stand
ard republican convention at Boise
reached its climax last night, when an
etfigy of Crane was suspended from
the electric light wires over Sherman
street. Attached to the dummy was a
placard on which were the words, "Ac-
clamation Crane" A portrait of the
Judas Iscariot hung suspended from
the feet. The grewsome object was left
hanging until 10 o'clock this morning
before being removed. 1t caused much
comment.
Crane is the silver republican candi-
date for state senator from this COun-
ty, having received his nomination
with the express understanding that he
was a strong supporter of Senator Du-
bOis and an uncompromising silver
man. He was also elected one OF the
IA delegates to the state convention
with the understanding that he would
work with the silver republicans. He
went to Boise under the above condi-
tons, and the people were astounded
at the position he assumed by going
into the gold standard convention.
When the news of his change of front
reached here, the Indignation became
very pronounced, and all else was lost
sight Of in the discussion of his action.
c. b. King was also a delegate to the
convention and refused to take part in
either gathering, although he gave his
proxy and turned others which he held
| over to a delegate who voted them
with the silver republicans. The excuse
! offered for his action is that the silVer
republicans proposed to indorse a DOR
! ton Of the people -demOcratic fusion
ticket recently nominated by the dem
Ocrats and pOpulists
Cranes action makes his defeat at
the polls certain, should he remain on
the ticket. The sentiment here is
strongly against him, and reports in
| dictate that the same feeling exists in
other parts of the county. 1t is thought
! that he will decline the nomination for
! senator

WHERE WAS UNCLE SANS CONSULT
Two Americans Brutality Killed in
COnstantinOple Riots

Constantinople, Aug. 30.--Just before the
departure of the leaders OF the Invasion
of the Ottoman bank on Sir Edgar vim
cents yacht, after which they negotiated
with the Turkish officials and surren-
dered upon condition that they should
be allowed to leave the country, they
announced to the dragomans of the diff
erent embassies that they intended to
continue the agitation until the right OF
the Armenians should be recognized by
the Representatives, OIL foreign powers.
The members of the different embas-
sizes have received another circular let
ter from the Armenian revolutionary COM
mittee, making a similar announcement.
1t will be remembered that several days
before the raid on the Ottomai bank by
the Armenians threatening letters of 4
similar character were received by the
representatives, of the foreign powers, but
the diplomats stationed in Constantinople
paid no attention to these warnings.
Already several claims for damages
to property have been received at the
British embassy, the property destroyed
being owned by British subjects AS an
indication of the number of persons who
persisted in the recent riots, it is stated
that 700 dead bodies were buried in the
CticlIlo cemetery alone.
The British charge d'affaires Michael
Herbert, has made special representations
to TeWtik Pasha, the Turkish minister
OF foreign affairs, concerning the case OF
two Americans who were brutally killed
just in front of the guard house, ana
before the eyes of the members of the
British embassy.

MINERS STRIKE COST $2,OOo,ooC
LeadViIle Trouble no Nearer SOlu-
ton Than Before.

Leadville, Col, Aug. 3O.-This is the
18th day of the great strike, and marks
the inception of the most important &C
ton taken on either side, as for the first
time since long before the strike began
the pumps in two of the leading mines,
rthe Bon Air and the Penrose, are idle
The order for stoppage came last night,
and was obeyed at once. The movement
means that the mine owners hope to force
the union to declare the strike off, or that
they think to avoid trouble by closing
down on everything, and allowing the
mines to fill with water. rather than
submit to the dictation of the union.
The strike has already cost fully ST.,
900, 900, and there is nothing to indicate
that it is any nearer a settlement than
on the day it began.
