Washington the latter part of

Boston has presented to the Ma.
tional w. r. c. the old gates that
formerly stood at the common, op-
posite West street. 1t is proposed to
set up these gates at Anderson vile
prison, now owned by the Grand
Army, and preserved as a memorial.
The idea is, that the gates which
opened upon the ground where the
spirit Of American liberty was born
will guard the spot made sacred by
the men who died at Anderson Vile
as sacrifice to the cause of II berty
and Union.-Detroit Journal.

Reports of the silver-mining COM
panies show that in many cases the
costof producing silver is now less
than 25 cents per ounce, and that
the silver used in the manufacture
Of a dollar, would now probably cost
about 20 cents. No wonder that the
silver mine owners are willing to
spend millions to force the United
States to adopt laws by which they
can turn 20 cents worth OF their pro-

Of the fact that most Of the silver
mines, are now owned by foreig ners.

NEW YoRK. Sept. Ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The report of Perry Heath, first as
sistant postmaster-ge general, acting as
referee in the controversy between the
Western Union Telegraph Company and
the federal government has been fled in
the court of claims, though it has not
yet been officially made public.
The report sustains the telegraph COM
pany's claim to just compensation for
services performed from 1899 to 1898,
which Postmaster Generals Wanamaker
and Bissel, as may be remembered, re-
peatedly refused to allow. The court is
expected to approve the report, and if ii
is fact it will be promptly certified to
by the department. The latter will then
submit the matter to congress.
Before the amount can be paid an ap.
preparation will. of course, have to be
passed. The amount involved is over g
quarter. of a million dollars.

BIG MASS MEETINGS
Strikers Preparation for the
Columbus Convention.
DELEGATES ARE BEING NAMED
Some win Contend for 90 Cents, but
the Majority Are Instructed
to Compromise.

PITTsBURG. Sept. 6.-Mass meetings
are being held today all over Pittsburg
district by striking miners for the pur-
pose of appointing delegates to the dis
trict convention which meets here to-
morrow to consider the Columbus COM
promise, and elect delegates to the ma
tional convention at Columbus on
Wednesday.
While some of the leading miners
have stated they will contend for in
structions to the Columbus delegates to
vote for sixty-nine cents or nothing, 1t is
thought the slxty- mine cent men will be
in the minority and unable to further
their plan.
A number OF operators have received
assurances that the miners formerly at
work for them will ratify the agreement
arrived at Columbus, and will vote to
return to work at the sixty-fve cent rate.
President Dolan, Secretary William
and District Organizer Cameron Miller
say they feel sure the great majority OF
miners will vote to accept the sixty-five
cent rate.
Mining ofhclals say the struggle
against the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Company will be pushed. Ac-
ceptance of sixty-fve cent rate, they say,
IN no way affects the price to be paid
the diggers at the mines of this COM
pany, and until the mineworkers can
force President W. P. DeArmitt to pay
the district price without differential
in his favor. the fight against him will
be continued.

THE LUCK OF THE EUGENE.
A Leaky Hull Checks the Unhappy
Steamers Voyage.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 6.-The
steamship Capilano, Captain Powis, re-
turned this morning from Juneau, Dyea
and Skaguay. She brings down one
miner from Juneau who is disgusted
with the outlook for getting to the gold
fields this fall. Her cattle and horses
were landed safely, but American GUS
toms officials charged duty of $50 on
each horse.
On the way down the Capilano spoke
the steamer Bristol and the sternwheeler
Eugene, which left Victoria last week, at
Alert bay. The Eugene commenced leak
ing soon after leaving Union, where it
will be remembered she was seIzed by
customs regulations, but got away by
cutting her hawser. 1t took the Bristol
twenty -four hours to tow the Eugene
back to Alert bay. An attempt is being
made to patch her up, but the passen-
gers refuse to travel on her. They
wanted to charter the Capilano, but as
she had passenger for Vancouver Cap
tain Powis was unable to assist them.
He spoke the steamer Tees of Victoria
on the way down and doubtless she will
go to their assistance.
The Capilona brings no news of i'm
portance from the north. The crush at
Dyea and Skaguay is as great as ever
and many disheartened people are daily
! turning back.

A PANIC CAUSED BY A FIRE.
Close Call For San Francisco Orpheum
Patrons.

Close Call For San Francisco Orpheum
Patrons.
SAN Francisco, Sept. 6.-Fire IN the
Orpheum theater just before the close of
the performance last night created much
excitement and panic attended with
loss of lite was narrowly averted. The
casualties were confined to slight in
juries to few persons.
In the theater there is an electrical
apparatus known as the cinematograph
by which pictures are thrown on white
ground on the stage. 1t is operated
from a small closet built on the front of
the gallery. The sides of the closet were
of muslin. This material caught fire
and began dropping on the heads of the
audience below. A cry of ''fre" was
raised and rush for heexits was made.
One man pushed his arm through a
glass door and was badly cut. An elder
ly lady was thrown down and trodden
on, but was revived and taken away
by her daughter. A man jumped from
a second story window and his head was
cut in several places.
The fire was extinguished before it
spread. Within a few minutes the ex-
citement had subsidized and the perfor-
nance was continued to the end of the
program with the exception af the cine
matograph pictures.
