800 IN THE ILLINOIS
COAL MINES.
PROTECTED BY CATLlNos.
Dno Hundred ex-ChIcago Policemen TO
Guard Them-The Ceiestiels Are
Imported from Montana Coal
Fields s-Arrangement Made
to bring In 1000 More
n Scheme Succeeds.

CmcAeo, H.. Nov. s-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 gntling.gun 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 al the mines OF the Whining
ton .Braidwood district. The first con %
sirnment of POO will arrive next Tues
dav. and the others will be on hand
as soon az provision can be made 70
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
m ent Of the Chinese miners secret, 1t
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 arm:
with which they are to be equipped.

LOOKS LIKE GUILT.
Grant County Commissioners Hold a
Rough House.

Special TO Daily Leader,
PoND CREEK, Ok, Nov. 5 "A special
called meeting OF the Populist county
central committee OF Grant county
convened at Jefferson, Saturday after
noon, attended by some OF the county
officers end eight OF the county cen
tral committee, the most of whom
we're known enemies OF Editor Critics,
publisher OF the Grant County News,
Populist paper published at Pond
Creek, the county seat of the county.
1t seems that the News, for some
weeks back, had been bringing TO
light tbe political deception, fraudu-
lent and illegal transactions Of the
Populist board of county commits
sioners, and these men, il is under
stood, had a meeting called, on short
notice, having his enemies present, de-
nounced him as a Populist for his
showing up Of the Populist board Of
commissioners
Mr.. Critics declared that he could
prove and substantiate every charge
made and If they wished to they could
appoint a disinterested committee,
with whom he and the board could
meet, and II he could not. to the salts
faction of the committee, prove his
charges, he would not only deslst, but
take back his articles already pub
lished. which proposition was ably
seconded by some OF the more level
headed and not personal enemies of
Critics, nor connected with certain
political ring. On investigation, how
ever, il seems the guilty parties didn't
want, and vehemently opposed, and,
right or wrong, while their crowd was
there, loudly denounced the editor
anyway. The meeting was bolster
GUS. threatening, foolish and ridiculous
one. They say the editor is much
amused and the impression has gone
out that the commissioners have, by
stunning an investigation. virtually
admitted their guilt The News is ex
pected to continue the write up.

HANNA MAY BE FLooRED.

Despite the fact that late indications
point to Republican majority in the
Ohio legislature, Mark Hanna may not
be returned to the United States
senate.
Hanna. puffed up with the hattery
given him because Of the success Sc
cured in the presidential campaign, has
assumed the airs Of dictator, and has
made many and bitter enemies OF in
fiuential men in his own party. These
men, recognizing that they will have
the support Of the people at large in
any 6ght they may make on the srro-
giant hoss, are already laying plans to
defeat him in the great ambition OF
his life.
1t is alleged that Governor Bushnell
will be candidate for HannR's seat,
and, although this allegation is denied
by the governor, there are good
grounds for believing that under GER
tain conditions he would not decline TO
stand for the position. Foraker has
no love for Hanna, Kurtz hates the
boss with good reason, four Republi'
can legislators elected from Hamilton
county have already placed themselves
on record as opposed to him, and the
prospects of an expensive and perhaps
disastrous struggle are presenting
themselves TO Hanna.
II goes without saying that mar
OF Hanna's pagnacitY will not YielC
without a desperate fight. II is saiS
that he has already made overtures Il
Democratic legislators, and II lAvlsl
use OF money, promises OF politica
preferment and threats Of punishment
for those in opposition can win th'
day. Hanna win force his way into thl

A young woman who considers her

puzzled and then distressed as the ia

voice. II remember when Rory O'More'
first came out. / have never been a

And she salted it down.

MYSTERY
Grassy sas Turns Up la "Bno Lands-
Loaded with wealth

Grassy Hae Turns Up ia "Bsc Lands-
Loaded with wealth,
The eliim nalo again that the fa-
nous Lost Cabin" gold mine has been
found recalls the fact that the mine
has been found before. The Lost
Cabin mine is in the Bad Lands" in
Wyoming, near the headwaters of the
Big Horn river about sixty miles from
Fort Washaki In 1874 five men set
out from the fort to prospect. A few
weeks after one of them, with his
pockets full OF nuggets, wandered back
TO the fort. His mind was completely
gone. All he could murmur was lost
cabin" Expeditions were at once sent
out, but no trace was found OF the mine
or the missing men, who It was sup
posed were killed by Indians. In 1884
4 cowboy rode into Fort Washaki and
said that he had found the lost cabin
by accident. AS every one believed
that the Lost Cabin mine was fabu-
lously rich, a crowd was soon ready
to start with the discoverer. They
found a decayed log cabin, with four
skeletons in or near IL, and a tunnel
sunk in the hillside The ore was
black and heavy, and the first man who
got out with a muleload never went
back. for the assay showed no trace
of gold nothing but plumbago. The
news of the finding Of the Lost Cabin
got out. and for months miners flocked
there, only to be disappointed. After
awhile the excitement died out, and the
old mine was deserted But still the
problem remains, where did the crazy
miner get his nuggets, and what be-
came of his four companions. Per-
maps It has been solved this time
Many prospectors think that the crazy
miner found his nuggets while away
from his party, and lost his mind as
well as his way in trying to return
20 them.

THE Atlanta Constitution calls at
tention to the fact that notwithstand-
ing the low price Of cotton there is an
unsatisfactory condition OF things at
Fall RIVER and elsewhere in the CEN
ters where cotton goods are manu-
factured. The mills do not fhd that
the demand for their product is such
as TO enable them to take advantage
OF the tariff to increase prices. The
Constitution thinks the low price OF
COTTON is due to the lack Of demand
for cotton goods, and that this small
demand is caused by the scarcity OF
money among the masses OF the people.

When Prosecutor Woodson finished
reading the indictment, he did not ask
the defendant if he was guilty or not
guilty, but Judge Broaddus at once
asked Carr If he had an attorney. He
replied no and that he wanted one.
The court appointed Judge J. NJ. San

what would be done for the defendant,

talked with Carr. Judge Broaddus
object in appointing an attorney is to
