where the king ought to stand. and vice

tion is that British players. out of defer

CHICAGO, ILL.,. Nov a-Chinese coal
miners are to take the place of Amer
leans in the Northern Illinois district
An attempt will be made to break the
strike that exists and 500 skilled Ce-
lestials have been picked for the work.
They will bear arms, and live inside
a gatling-eun equipped stockade and
be bodyguarded by 100 former Chi
cago policemen
An agent of the Chinese Six Com
panies was in Chicago last week and
made a contract with the Wilmington
Coal company to deliver the 500 CHI
namen a: the mines of the Whining
ton-Braidwood district The first con-
signment of 200 will arrive next Tues
day, and the others will be on hand
as soon as provision can be made to
take care of them. Arrangements for
an additional 1000 Chinese miners
have been made, conditional on the
success of the first venture.
Elaborate preparations have been
completed to take care of the first 500
Cinnamon and give them ample pro-
lection.
Though every precaution has been
taken to keep the details of the move
IN ent of the Chinese miners secret. it
is now definitely known that all are
skilled miners from Wyoming, and
that some of them are the survivors of
the Rock Spring massacre of several
years ago. Some of them have been
working in the Wyoming mines as
long as twenty-eight years, and
though they have been peaceful and
lawabiding all of this time, they are
not the docile human beings that their
countrymen resident in Eastern cities
are usually considered. They are all
supposed to be fully cognizant of the
troubles they are likely to encounter
and are competent to handle the arms
with which they are to be equipped.

PlTTsBURG, Pa. Nov s.-The Car
negie and Bethlehem steel companies
have no i,.ea of abandoning their ar
NOR plate plants, erected at great
expense, and have, in pursuance of
this idea, acquired the new Krupp
process for the hardening of armor
plate. The use of the Harveyizing
ovens at Homestead will he abandoned
unless purchasers of armor plate
specify that process
European military establishments
have been interested for several
months in a new process of finishing
armor plates perfected at the Krupp
works of Essen, Germany. The pro.
cess is secret thus far to the public,
but its use, it is claimed, hardens the
surface of plate to greater depth
than the Harveyizing method. It is
said the Carnegie and Bethlehem COM
panies have acquired the exclusive
right for America to use the Krupp
process
In that event these companies will
be able to monopolize the armor plate
business in America, provided the new
process attains the superiority claimed
for it. If Congress should decide upon
the erection of an armor plate plant,
the government will not be able to
obtain armor made in accordance with
the new process invented by Krupp.
The price paid for the Krupp process
is being and will be kept secret.
