GREATEST OF COLONIzERS.
Much of the Earth Owes Its Settlement I"
the Finding of Gold.

Much of the Earth Owes Its Settlement t"
tn" Finding of Gold.
1t has been we'll said that gold is the
greatest of coloniZers, and this has prov
ed especially true in the last half of the
present century To what lone regions
the footsteps of man were attracted in
the earliest times by the discovery of
gold we may not know, but within the
memory of living men great regions Of
the oar,h's surface have owed their set.
Element and occupation solely to the
finding by search or accident Of a few
shining particles in the earth.
California was q remote and outlying
province of Mexico. inhabited by Indi-
ans, gathered in missions or scattered
abroad. and cattle barons and their de-
pcndonts, visited by a few ships each
year in search Of u freight of hides,
when the picking up Of a few grains of
gold in the banks of a mill race called
the gold seekers from the four quarter
of the earth and transformed a wilder
ness into a populous empire.
Australia was n corner Of the earth
selected on account of its remoteness
from their former home as a place of
Punishment for British criminals when
the CLEAN of gold illuminated it and
filled the distant harbors with sails and
their shores with cities.
South Africa might have remained
forever a grassy waste, the home of saw
ages contending with the Beers and the
British for the possession of illimitable
pastures, had not gold called the miner
and those who follow him to build 10.

DISCUSSING SEALS.
CANADIAN AND AMERICAN EX-
PERTS ARE NOW ON COM
MON GROUND.
And 1t Is Confidently Expected That
a Settlement Will Soon Be Reached
Reciprocity Considered by the
Diplomats of the Two American
Governments.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 15.-When
che Boring sea meeting began at the
state department today the delegates
stated there was every reason to be-
lieve the final stage would be reached
during the day The experts. after pro-
tracted sessions, were ready to report
on all the technical features of seal life
and it was reliably stated they had
reached common ground and would
sign a joint report. With this in and
diplomats planned to devote the after
noon to a consideration of the larger
phases of the question, that of reaching
a joint agreement between the United
States and Great Britain covering a
cessation of Pellagic sealing. This was
felt to be the vital issue of the nego-
tiations, on which hinged not only a
settlement of the Boring sea question
but also probably hat of reciprocity,
border immigration and all questions
pending between the United States and
Canada 1t is understood the PROPOSE
ton of the American representatives
involves two features: First, that Can
ada, through the imperial authorities,
shall consent to a stoppage Of pellagic
sealing. and second. that negotiations
shall be opened for a suspension Of
sealing beyond this term. The Cana
dian officials have taken the ground, it
is said, that they would be glad to
reach any basis of settlement by com,
promise or fair concession, but they
view the propositions as m for abso-
lutte surrender on their part. Whether
this will develop a critical issue when
the diplomats get together cannot be
foretold.

PENNSYLVANIA VETERANS.
They Assemble at Chattanooga t
Dedicate Their Monuments.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. 15.-This
has been a glorious day for the Penn
sylvania veterans who came here to
dedicate their monuments to the men,
ory Of their heroism in the great war.
The d~edicatory ceremony occurred at
Orchard, where fully 5000 people gath
cred. Hon. Henry Clay Evans, Gene
raj John P. Goblin, General Latta, and
other distinguished visitors occupied
seats on the platform.
Governor Hastings spoke, delivering
the monuments to the national gov
eminent. The monuments were for
mally accepted on the part of the "a
tional government and transferred to
the National park commissioners by
John Tweedal. chief clerk of the war
department. Gen. H. v. Boynton, on
behalf of the National park commits
sion, formally accepted the monu-
ments.
At the conclusion Of Boynton's ad-
dress, Hon. H. Clay Evans, United
States commissioner of pensions. was
introduced and spoke at some length.
Gen. John P. Goblin, commander-in-
chief Of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, was called for. Goblin proposed in
stead of a speech that he would ask
the vast audience to sing America
which was done with a vim, closing the
ceremonies.
Tonight the veterans enjoyed a camp
fire at the City auditorium. prepared by
the local G. A. R. and Confederate vet
Grams. The blue and gray mingled
freely, and ate out of the same haver-
sack, drank from the same canteen and
told yarns until a late hour.

THE r
Owners Announce That the Situation
is Much Improved.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 15.-The owners
of the Smuggler mine, which has been
on fire since yesterday morning. an
nounce tonight the situation is much
improved. inasmuch as they have sue
ceeded in carrying lines of steam pipes
to within a short distance of the fire,
and hope in a few hours more to be
playing upon it. Outsiders, however,
take a different view of the situation.
1t is the general belief tonight that it
is not the wooden crib which is on fire,
but the shale foot wall itself, which is
said to be a very low grade of coal
This belief is strengthened by the fact
that gas. which is driving the men
from the workings of Smuggler moun
tain, is more like that from burning
coal than wood. If this theory is cor
rect. nothing but flooding the mine
will stop the fire. Already the gas has
p%ermeated the workings in various
mines on Smuggler mountain for two
miles to the north of the Smuggler
shaft, and 500 men have been driven
out, and two or three times that num-
Der will have to quit work. The gas is
gradually growing lower, having nov
reached the seventh level. If it drives
the men from the pumps in the ninth
level it will mean flooding the district,
as the Smuggler pumps are the princi-
pal ones in the district. The feeling
here Is very gloomy, as it is believed a
long shut down Of the principal mines
Of the camp is certain to occur.
ARBUCKLE MYSTERY.
New York, Nov. 15.-Mrs. Frank P.
Arbuckle. whose husband, a wealthy
mine owner and politician of Denver,
Colo, was killed in this city a year ago,
has come east with her lawyer, also Of
Denver. to call the police Of this city
to account for their alleged failure to
unravel the mystery of Mr.. Arbuckle's
death. Mrs Arbuckle insists that her
husband was murdered and that for
some occult reason the police depart
ment dropped the investigation. No
vember 8 Mr.. Arbuckle was found I'M
conscious in a vacant lot in the north
ern part Of the city. His watch. jewel
ry and money were gone. He died
without having recovered conscious
ness. The %coroner's jury returned a
verdict that death was caused by fatty
degeneration of the heart, although at
the inquest the %coroncr's physician tes-
titled there was evidence that Arbuckle
had been given Knockout drops.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. l5.-The morn
ing session of the general assembly of
the Knights of Labor was devoted to
che discussion of the report of the COM
mittee on immigration. 1t was the pre-
vailing sentiment hat some vigorous
steps should be taken to restrict immi-
grafton. and statistics were presented
showing nearly 10000. 600 foreign la
borers had come to this country during
the last twenty-three years, all of
which worked hardship on the Ameri-
can w~orkingman. The report that Past
Grand Master Workman Sovereign had
stepped down because he desired to fix
his plans for the presidency on the la
bor reform ticket in 1900 was vigor-
ously denied on all sides.
At this afternoons session it was
voted unanimously to set apart the last
Sunday in June as labor memorial day.
This day will be observed by all the
district assemblies in the United States.
1t is expressly stated the day will not
be regarded in the light of a holiday.
The report Of the committee on finance
showed up in first-class shape.

Fought a Mad Bull hat Was Goring

If George MertZ, a farmer living near
Altheim, St. Louis county, RECEIVERS
from injuries he received from an en-
ragged u yesterday, he will owe his
life to the devotion of his large New
foundland dog. Mr.. Mertz and two
hired men were trying to put a yoke
on a large bull. The animal broke
from them and attacked Mr. Merit
1t rushed upon him. bore him to the
earth, and gored him in the abdomen.
Mr.. Mertz's dog was near by, and.
when he saw his master attacked, he
came to the rescue. With a fierce growl
he attacked the bull, fastening his teeth
in his neck. The animal turned his
attention then to his more active en-
envy, and the dog led the brute away
from the group of men. He would turn
and renew the fight whenever the bull
stopped pursuing him.
In the meal time the men had time
to carry Mr.. Mertz out of the pasture to
ia place where the bull could not get
at them. Mr.. Merits injuries were
frightful and will probably prove fatal.
He was almost completely disembowled
The stomach had been pierced by one
