Duchess of marlborough Robb ed.

LONDON, Nov. 20. A special dispatch
from Oxford received tonight says that the
dressing case of the Duchess of MARI
borough was stolen from Paddington Sta
ton this afternoon as the duchess was about
to start for Oxford. The maid who accom-
panied the duchess left the case for a short
time in order to purchase tickets, and when
she returned to the spot where she had put
1t down she found that it had disappeared.
Whoever stole the dressing case no doubt
thought he had obtained a rich hail. but
was disappointed as there were few valua-
bles among it's contents.

LONDON, Nov 20.--The news from India
is about as discouraging as 1t can be. The
sudden recrudescence of activity on the

the natives of the invaded country are not
aware that they are beaten. Their supplies

British troops are not equipped for a win

Mr.. GIadstone's Health.

LONDON, Nov 20.-An alarming rumor
regarding Mr.. Gladstone's health has been
widely circulated in the city, and this even
ing. formed the principal topic of CONVEX
sation at the various clubs. A dispatch
from Hawarden has been received contra
dieting the rumor and saying that, although
he has been suffering from insomnia for a
week past, Mr. Gladstone has been able to
take a considerable amount of outdoor air.
To-day he and Mrs. Gladstone drove from
the rectory, where they had been guests for
a few days, to the castle
In letter from person who visited the
GladstoneS on Friday the writer says: His
mind is as keen as ever, but he has
become much feebler, bodily, and now
leads what for him is a very sedentary
life. He seems to have visibly shrunk In
size and suffers from shortness of breath
His heart was examined recently and was
found to be weak in action, so that alto
gether the marvellous old mans bodily pow
ers seem at last to be on the decline"
In the course of a conversation with a
representative of the Associated Press Mr.
George William Erskine Russell said that
Mr. Gladstone was coming to London on
tuesday next on his way to the continent,
where he would spend the winter.

Daviess County Mining Trouble.
WASHINGTON, Ind. Nov. 20-The stu
alton between the striking miners and the
operators at this place grows no better.
Relations are as strained as can well be
imagined. The mine owners offered, a few
days ago, to reopen an unused mine and
places to go to work The strikers said
they would consent to this proposition, pro-
vided the foreigners that have been i'm
ported to take their places in the other
mines were sent back. This the mine
owners have steadfastly declined to do.
Messrs> Cabel Kaufman have announced
shortly. AS soon as this action is taken it
is expected that trouble will follow. A con-
ference between representatives of the
striking miners and the operators was held
here this afternoon, but the result of the
conference has not become public. 1t was
thought that some feeling would be mani
tested at this conference, and that possibly
serious difficulty might be precipitated.
So far the situation is unchanged.

PENNSYLTANIA,S ALIEN TAX.
It HAS Started q Rush for Naturalization Pas
pers In the Cities.

pers In the Cities.
Recently there has been a great boom in nat
uralization In the keystone State. The reason
for it is to be found in tho fact that Gov. Hast
ings has signed the bill filming an employer three
cents a day for every foreign-born unnaturalized
male person over twenty'one years Of age in SER
vice. Failure TO report the employment of aliens
Is made q punishable by a fine of
not less than 800 and not more than 81 600. 1t
has been said by some persons that the inhabit-
ants OF Philadelphia are slow when matters of
public Importance are to be attended to, but
the contrary of this appears to be proved by
the alacrity with which tho business of citizen
making is going on in the Quaker City. In one
branch Of the Court OF Common Pleas ono day
this week l72 aliens took out naturalization
papers. and the Judges were kept busy in making
and rejecting citizens. Judge Butler naturalized
forty.seven men and rejected Twenty-Five appli.
cants, while Judge Dallas naturalized eighty
and rejected forty -four.

urged against the new law by those who
say that it will he without practical effect in
doing away with the causes of complaint based
on the employment OF aliens, and by others who
allege that II Is Discrimination and impractical.
bic throughout 1t is said that while 1t will put
"A premium on citizenship. the tax is SO small
that it will amount TO little, especially as the
employers and not tho laborers are to pay II.
Figuring the number of working days at 800
in a year, the whole tax would DO 80. &C
a year for the employment OF an alien
and it is pointed out that u contractor
desiring to engage the services OF alient
could we'll afford to pay Slo n year or sc
for the privilege. Another objection is found in
| the fact ilnt an alien VINO DISCUSSES the fAl1
may entail a penalty upon his employer. who Il
without method OF ascertaining whether or MOI
he is liable for tax to he imposed. However thti
may be. the fact Is that there has been a large
increase in the number OF naturalizations mad,
in Pennsylvania, not only in the city OF Phila
delphia, but in Pittsburg md other cities. sine,
the new law went into effect, and the number o
aliens in the State will probably be MATERIAL!
diminished by IL unless more aliens arrive.
