holds that foreign goods shipped from
countries other than British possessions
In British vessels are not subject to the
discriminating duty.
Two questions were asked the attor-
ney general, sthe first Of which was, in
effct, whether the discriminating duty
of 10 per cent. provided for in section
~ should be assessed against an in
voice Of tea from China which had ar
rived at Vancouver in British vessels
and thence shipped through Canada to
Chicago; the second question was
whether the discriminating duty should
be assessed against a cargo Of man.

Nine Of the new cases were reported
by one doctor-Dr. Holland he had not
obeyed the law on the subject and will
be asked to explain. He did not report
the cases when they grew suspicious,
thus giving the plague a chance to
spread.
At Mobile yesterday there were two
new cases. No suspicious cases and no
deaths. The situation there has i'm
proved.
Cairo, Ills, Sept. 21.-There has been

down in the main slope. About 100 men
are employed in the mine and a panic
followed among the workers and In
the little town of Belle Ellen. Hun
dreds of men, women and children
gathered at the main entrance Of the
mine while rescue parties were at once
formed to relieve the miners. More
than fifty were gotten out from the
various entrances without harm. 9th
ers were overcome by smoke and fell
by the wayside.
The brave searchers found and
dragged them out while those waiting
at the entrance restored life to their un-
conscious friends. A scene of wild ex-
element prevailed at the mines mouth,
women and children were screaming
and shouting for help, and fire brigade
was at work endeavoring to overcome
the flames. Five men who were work
ing about the slope beyond where the
fire originated could not be reached,
and 1t Is regarded as certain that they
are dead. The missing are: Herman

ExAooERATIoN.
Gift of Arunchausen Rivalea by Roman
tic Lady NiddIetor,


The nobility easily take rank among
story tellers. Baron Munchausen, of
course, stands first. with Sir John Fall
staff a good second, and now comes my
Lady Middleton, very good third. The
noble lady has written for an English
periodical publication an account of
some remarkable recoveries of lost
property. In one case valuable ring
was lost. Years afterwards, when a
floor was removed, the jewel was found
wedged tightly around the neck of the
skeleton of a mouse. The ring had
fallen through crack in the floor; the
mouse, half-grown at the time. had
thrust it's head into it.; had thus been
caught, and had grown until 1t was
strangled. Another case: A gentle
man shot and wounded a sand-piper
which, fluttering across pond, was
seized and devoured by a pike. That
afternoon the sportsman's brother,
while fishing in the pond, caught pike
in whose stomach was found the iden-
tical sand-piper. Another case: A la
dy who was visiting relative lost a
ring. Six years after, while visiting
the same person, then living In a far
distant locality, she slipped her hand
thoughtlessly into a recess OF the chair
she was sitting in and found the miss
ing ring. Another case: A lady sup
ped at royal ball, and ene Of the
golden spoons lodged, unknown to her,
in one of the pockets formed by the
plaits on the front of her Gress. The
following year, in presentation to the
queen, she wore the same gown. AS
she bent in courtesying the plait open
ed, and out fell the missing spoon at
her sovereign's feet.

Peace in the Hard Coal Region.

Hazleton, Pa. Sept. 22.-Peace has
been restored in the anthracite region
and nearly every colliery therein worked
yesterday. Included in those were the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre company's
Audenried mines, employing over $500
men. The strike was practically in
augurated by them, and their return to
work Monday caused stampede of the
other strikers. Yesterday, however. the
grievance committee of the Audenried
men waited upon superintendent laval
and complained that they were receiv-
ing less than the men at any other col
liery in the region. He told them to SUBJ
NIT list of names and figures to him
and he would give II every considera ton.

JOHN TREATS WITH THE MAHDI.
England Reported to Have Ended the War
on the Nile.


Paris, Sept. 22.-The Figaro says that
treaty has been concluded between
Slatin Pasha, representing Great Brit
ain, and zobein Pasha, representing the
mahdi, by which the latter will not OPP
pose the advance Of the Anglo Egyptian
expedition as far as Khartoum, and Os-
man Digna's forces will remain at the
Bera river so long as Great Britain de-
sires.
The following are said to be the condi-
tions upon which this treaty was signed:
THE mahdi remains king of Khar-
toum, and Zobein Pasha continues toex-
ercise the functions of governor of OAR
fur. under the protection of Great Brit
ein."
The Figaro also asserts that the mis-
sion of James Rennell Rodd to the king
Of Abyssinia obtained a promise of neu-
trality upon the part Of King Menelek
guaranteeing the western frontier OF
Abyssinia in the names Of both Great
Britain and the wahdi.
