HAZLETON, Pa, September 10
Absolute quiet prevailed in the entire
strike district today. Vice-President
Mcguire of the Federation of Labor
left for Washington today to attend
the meeting OF the executive council,
which is to consider the situation,
and George Chance of the United La
Dor League went to Scranton for sim
liar meeting of labor men there.
The only movements among the mill
tary were the practice rides of the Gov
ernor's and city troops and the after
noon dress parade.
Tomorrow is looked forward to as a
decisive day An attempt will be made
to resume at Lattimer, where there will
be /, 300 men, and at Audenreid. There
are nearly $500 men at the latter place,
and they were the first TO go out. Many
of them wanted to work, but bands of
women have prevented them during the
past few days,
To insure protection a squadron of
cavalry and the entire Eighth Regi-
ment viii go to the scene. The men
at Coxe's Drifton mine are also to de-
eide tomorrow upon staying out or
continuing at work.

Objects to Criticism.

MIR. EDITOR:-On behalf of the
Britishers and British-Hawaiians here
in Honolulu, allow me to protest
against the criticisms given in your pa

of the minstrel performance on Satur-
day evening by the troupe from Inns
Comus, and also of personal locals
which are idiotic in every way.
Because a Britisher of a certain class

long and puts them in where they do
not belong is no excuse for a local"

WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE
report from Captain Ray, the army Of
fcer who was sent to Alaska TO investi-
gate the condition Of affairs there,
formed the basis Of the Cabinet decis-
ion today to send a small force of SOL
diers to St Michael at the earliest mo-
ment Captain Rays advices were dat
ed August 9th. He was then at st.
Michael, about to take the steamer up
the Yukon for Circle City.
His report showed that without
doubt great suffering must be expected
in the Klondike region this winter,
owing TO the lack of food supplies.
Further details on that point were
promised at a later date. He regarded
it as essential that some kind of force
acting under lawful authority be placed
at St Michael to restrain the lawless
element.
Secretary Alger, late this afternoon,
gave the necessary orders for the send
ing of troops. There will be only 25
infantrymen, and they will be sent
from Fort d. A Russell, where Cap
tain Ray had made a selection of hardy
soldiers to accompany him when he
was about to go north before.

The local fever situation has under
gone little change since yesterday. At
o'clock tonight the record-book In
the Board of Health Office showed a to-
tai of six new cases and two deaths.
The first two cases are in the ex-
IRENE upper portion of the city; one in
the Fourth District; one is in the st.
Claude-street house, where the original
six cases were reported, and one is in
the Williams House, where two cases
already existed. There are three cases
under investigation.
The report of DR.. Metz, City Chem
list, on the condition of the Italian
quarter, moved the Board to prompt ac-
ceptance today of the offer to the city
OF the Marine Hospital as a refuge.
DR.. Metz found as many as so people
huddled together in the Italian quarter
living in squalor and filth. In one Of
the rooms a goat was found sleeping
nightly with the family who owned it.

Nicaragua.
PANAMA, September 20.-Nicara-
guam reports, via Salvador, state that
IN the uprising in Grenada Sunday
night an attack was made on the bar
racks, but owing to the strong resist
ance and the Governments activity in
sending forces to the scene the revolu-
tionists were defeated.
The Government troops recaptured
the town after some hours struggle
and hard fighting, and the revolution
lists fed toward Costa Rica, but 1t is
thought they will be captured soon.
A dispatch from Nicaragua says an
investigation into the revolutionary
movement here shows that the dis
turbances developed at Grenada and
Jintopec. Generals Paez and Alfaro,
commanding the revolutionists, are re-
ported to have passed Jintopec yester-
day, collecting money, arms and am
munition. 1t is added that they had
only about 200 men and were going to
the Pacific Ocean. Zelaya is actively
collecting soldiers in the various de-
partments.

Falls Down Spiral Staircase and Is
Badly Bruised.
LONDON, September 17.-Christian
TX, the venerable King of Denmark,
has been seriously injured by fall on
a spiral staircase in a Danish fortress,
his mouth and chin being badly LAGER
ated, and, considering that he is in his
eightieth year and for some time past
has not been robust, his injury may
have fatal consequences.
Christian, who is a very popular
monarch, was declared King of Den
mark in 1863. He married, in 1912,
Princess Louise of Hesse-Cassel, and
they have six children, all of whom
occupy most prominent positions in the
world of royalty in Europe. The eldest
daughter is the Princess of Wales,
prospective Queen of England; the sec
ond son is King George l. of Greece,
who secured that crown in 1868. The
second daughter Dagmar, is the widow
of Gar Alexander III. of Russia. Prin-
cess Thyra is the wife of the English
Duke OF Cumberland, while Prince
Waldemar, the youngest of the sons,
married Princess Marie of Orleans,
daughter of the Duke of Charities, the
French royalist. The Crown Prince
married the Crown Princess Louise of

EAST CONTROLS WEST.
so SAYS CAPITALIST BAKER, OF BOSTON.
Not at All Complimentary.

DENVER, Feb. 23.-The following letter, re-
ceved by Secretary Williams, of the chamber
of commerce, has been filed away as curiosity
among the archives of the institution:
BoSTON, Feb. IL, IS97.-Dear Sir--Did it
ever occur to you, when exulting over the OPEN
ing up of southern outlet for the products Of
the middle western states, that as soon as the
trans continental roads got into condition again.
one or the other of them would get control Of
the gulf, and then divert traffic from it? You
cannot control the gulf Immediately. The
East realizes what it is doing. You haven't
money enough to control anything You have
to buy all your boots, cotton and wooden goods,
etc., from this part of the country and, with
the profits made out of you through said pur
chases, you can be defeated in every scheme,
monetary and otherwise A Boston merchant
said to me- Yesterday: "Those Western Cranks
furnish us with all the sinews of war with
which we are able to Lick them. They have to
buy everything from us, ard we contro, all their
money and their bankers" Should you try to
cut off 200 miles by tunneling the range, the
Denver & Rio Grande, the Midland, ETC., would
stop you. You are completely in the hands of
outside capitalists.
Sincerely, FRED BAKER.
There you have it! Aud what do you think
of it? 1t looks pretty bad for the West, don't
it? 'Tis bad too but there's way out; and that
way out is to become independent Of those fell
lows who think they've got us where t e hairs
Short The way to become independent is to
manufacture our own goods. 1t is possible for
us to manufacture nearly everything which we
need, and thus keep our money at home. We
can make our own leather, and our boots and
Shoes We can make our wooden goods. We
have the raw material to manufacture hugdreds
of articles of everyday use. Then let use
these materials.
Colorado has commenced work along this
line, and her papers, irrespective of party, are
crying, "Patronize home industry!' And what
Colorado can do, the whole West can do. There
is no more necessity Tor us to buy goods of the
Eastern manufacturers and merchants than
there is for us to buy of European manufacture
ers and merchants. 1t is possible Tor us to be
Independent. of the East il we will.
Let our motto be-
The West for Western people,
And let us be true to our motto.

pace he will surely be one-termer. The

BOTKIN'S PITCHER BILL.

A great deal of fun has been poked at the
bill introduced by Hon. Theo. Botkin, in the
house, which provides for the "Picherzing,
or castration, of men and boys who are found
guilty of assaults on girls or women. The bill
is meritorous--it is just-and should become a
law 1t would have tendency to check this
crime.
The bill has awakened the Mus in the read
ing clerk of the house, and causes him to in
dte the following classic lines:
QUERY.
When this legislatures over and the members
journey home,
And the railroads, trusts and combines are no
longer i'll suspense;
When the members toll is ended, and recorded
is their WILL
What will become of Botkn and his Pitcher
zing bill?
In the never-crumbng temple, where the god
dess writes the name
OF him who the signet ring and laurel
wreath of fame;
Where there's inches, starsurrounded, that the
favored ones may fill,
Is there space and place for Botkin, author of
the Pitcher bill?
In the future-lnisty future-wheren all shall
be revealed,
Will there be lancet couchant, on sanguin-
airy field,
And large physician rampant?-O, wonder
if this will
Be the arms of the house of Botkn, author of
the Pitcher bill?
ANSWER.
When old time for aye is ended, and mankind
are gathered home
And sweet vespers of the living from out the
central dome,
Then the shout will split the welkin as we toll
up lions hill:
Here comes Theodocious Bolkn, author of the
Pitcher bill
When our harp-strings all are tunclul and we
wait the master hand
That shall start the heavenly music with the
playing Of our banl
How OUT souls shall u ,.ited and our hearts
with rapture fill

THERE has been great deal OF talk about
re-districting the state so as to make all but one
congressional district solidly Populist. If our
legislators and congressman will do their duty,
and give them needed relief, there will be no
necessity for redistricting the state-we would
have the state solid, anyhow.
