BOMBAY, Sept. 2, 1S97.-There is no def
mite or decisive news from anywhere along

interest are Hangu and Shabkadr, where
serious fighting is imminent.
The Second Regiment of Gourkhas, with
Brigadier-General Yeatman-Biggs and his
staff, has arrived at Hangu There the
camp, which was opened and scattered,
has been transformed into a defensible po-
sition, surrounded by sheltered trenches
and breastworks of earth-bags. The camp
has also been well supplied with stores
and ammunition.
According to reliable reports, there are
10000 hostile Orakzais on the hill sur
rounding Hangu.
General Yeatman-Biggs has with him
a mountain battery, the Royal Irish
Regiment and five native regiments at
Hangu
The Eighteenth Bengal Lancers and the
Ninth Field Battery are at Shipwari to
cut off the retreat of the enemy.
Advices from Shabkadr say that the
Haddah Mullah is threatening the front
of that place, where the enemy has col
lected in great numbers. Colonel Mills,
who is in command at Shabkadr, has at
his disposal the Twentieth Punjab IN
fantry, the Thirty-ninth Gourkes, the
Thirteenth Bengal Lancers, a battery of

SPIRIT OF RESISTANCE,
Strikers About Pfttsburg Opposed TO
settlement at Less Than 50 Cents

P1TTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 2, 1S97.-Every-
thing was quiet about the striking miners
camps in the De Armit region today, the
campers having decided to take things
easy pending definite news from Columbus
in regard to the proposed settlement of
the strike.
The sentiment of the whole camp seems
to be to resist any settlement except on an
unqualified So cent basis. The general talk
among the men shows no encouragement
as yet. On all sides are heard the opinion
that the operators are being hard pushed
in the matter of holding contracts and
getting into deeper straits every day.
The morning missionary work of the
campers has come ito be the same mild
conflict between the strikers and depu-
ties. Some of them are turned back regu-
larly and some get through the lines to
execute their mission.
The women at Plum Creek are arrang-

held, and they expect to march to Plum

Smith, United States Commissioner at
Dyea and Skaguay, intimates that Gov
ernment officials now on the way to the
Upper Yukon may, by their official acts,
bring on serious International compiica-

says
s'It is announced here by a deputy Unit
ed States marshal that the United States
Government is to make claim to large
portion of the Yukon gold fields, which
have heretofore been supposed to be in
British territory, and that the territory
which is claimed as being within Alaska,
includes Dawson City. The basis Of the
claim to be made by the United States
officials to the disputed territory is in the
fact that the boundary line has never
been determined and the United States
authorities are claiming to possess in
formation as to the surveys made by the
Canadian Government that fixes Dawson

PARIS, Sept 2, 1SS7.-The Minister of
Commerce, M. Boucher, is quoted in an
interview printed by the "Gaulois'' today
as saying that the Governments of
France and Russia are anxious to make
every effort compatible with their econ

Continuing, M. Boucher said he did not
entertain the least hope that Russia
would abandon her protective policy, as
the chief object of Russia was to draw
capital into the empire and that policy
had been crowned with success. many
French, Swiss, Belgian and other manu-
facturers having established works in
Russia.
On the other hand, the aim of France
was to encourage exports. Where large
Government contracts could be obtained,
French influence had succeeded in obtain
ing them. For instance, contracts had
recently been obtained to construct eighty
locomotives for Russia and to build a new
bridge over the Neya But, he added, In

BERNIE, Switzerland, Sept. 2, 1851
Further advices from La Sale, near Mont
Pleureur, show that the reports Of the
accident to party of Alpine tourists in
that vicinity were not exaggerated. Eight
persons, it appears, started from Sion,
Capital of the Canton of Valais, with the
intention of ascending Mont Pleureur.
the latter is 12,155 feet high and is not
a very difficult ascent, from Mauyoisin,
by the Gietrox, eight hours being gem
orally occupied in the task.
No tourists were led by Pastor CONN,
of Sion, and they made the ascent di-
vided into two parties of four each. The
first of these parties reached the sum-
init and the second was only short
distance behind when the four persons
composing it were swept by an ava
lanche into crevasse thousand feet
deep.
In spite of the gravity of the accident,
all hope of rescuing some of the tourists
alive has not yet been given up. The
missing party was composed of Pastor

A NEW COMEDY oF ERRORS.
Singerwald Tbrashad the Wrong
simmons Twin.

Chas Singerwald was arraigned before
Acting Police Justice Macs, in the Sec
ond Criminal Court this morning on two
charges of assault and battery.
An amusing complication developed at
the examination. 1t turned out that
twin brothers named Simmons are both
conductors on the Hoboken and Ruther-
ford trolley line Singerwald had quar-
rel with Fred Simmons of No. ISL Spring
street West Hoboken, and determined to
get even with him, waited for him at
a lonely spot on Congress street. Several
cars passed and finally Singerwaid
thought he saw his victim on the rear
end of a car that approached him: He
jumped on the platform and pitched into
the conductor, who proved to be Sim
mons twin brother, Oliver, who lives at
No-10S Summit avenue. West Hoboken.
Oliver is somewhat of a slugger, and as
soon as he recovered from the shock of
Singerwalds onslaught, pitched him off
the car. Singerwald picked up a large
stone and hurled it through the car win
dow breaking a pane of glass. He then
hunted up Fred Simmons and assaulted
him.
Justice Macs dismissed him on the
charge Of malicious mischief. but found
him guilty on both charges of assault.
In one instance he fined him IS and costs
and in the other the costs, making SIS
in all.

NO DISCRIMINATING DUTIES.
Treasury Department Makes a De-
cislon fn the BOftiing Act.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2, 1S97.-Assist-
ant Secretary Howell has instructed the
Collector of New York to suspend the
collection of discriminating duties under
Section % of the new tariff law pending
the decision of the Attorney General.
these instructions were issued when it
was ascertained that the collector at New
York had been collecting these discrinin-
ating duties on goods from Canada.
The Treasury Department has decid-
ed ir reply to an inquiry from the coIlec-
tor of customs at Detroit that domestic
distilled liquors bottled in bonded ware
houses, under the new bottling act, when
liable to duty equal to the internal
revenue tax, and that Section u OF the
"articles manufactured in bonded ware
houses and exported pursuant to law
shall be subject to the same rate of duty
as if originally imported" is not apple
able.
The Department has informed the Col
1ector of Customs at Detroit that the
Department would follow previous rulings
and hold that opera glasses, certain lenses
and oculists' outfits and instruments are
not philosophical instruments within the
meaning of paragraph 47o of the tariff
law.
The Attorney General is devoting much
of his time this week to the preparation
of his decision of the questions involved
in the interpretation Of Section ~ OF
the tariff law relating to discriminating
duties. He is exausting all the authori-
ties and carefully weighing all the ar
guments. 1t is not probable that the de-
cision will be ready until next Monday; :,
McMcKenna has not yet decided
whether the present decision will cover all
the section that have been referred to
him, and there seems to be strong prob
ability that the forthcoming decision will
not decide the question raised as to
whether the omission of the words "Act
