ILLINOIS MINERS DISSATISFIED.
Secretary Ryan Says His People Will
HIVE the Bag TO Hold.

BRA1DWOOD, Ill, September 7.-Secre-
tary Ryan of the Illinois miners, before
leaving for Columbus today, said:
The proposed settlement Of the miners
strike has caused considerable excitement
among the miners of Illinois, and partic-
ularly in the northern fields. The fact that
the operators of northern Illinois have re-
fused to attend any conference looking to-
ward a settlement of the present trouble
also establishes the fact that there can be
no general settlement at the present time.
Should the Pittsburg miners ACCEPT the
65-cent rate and resume work, history will
repeat itself, and the Illinois miners will
be left to hold the bag. A resumption of
work in Illinois at the reduction means the
loss to the Pittsburg miners of the advance
inside of sixty days. The strike was in
augurated as a national issue. and should
end the same way, win or loSe.''

MORE SPANISH CRUELTY.

Awful Outrages Committed on De-
fenseless People in Cuba.
A New York Herald correspondents in
Havana province writes that the Span
ish soldiers, since the new ministry has
come into power, are committing many
deeds of cruelty. AS an example he
cites case he witnessed in the noun
tains, near Ell Carmen, where several
families who had fed from the towns
to seek food had congregated. 49,.
A hut where lived Jose Gonzalez and
his family was attacked by small
body of Spanish troops. The husband
was tied and dragged by the neck until
unconscious and then macheted. Two
sons were also tortured to death. The
wife and two daughters were isolated
and then killed. On the same dav a
hospital established by Juan Delgado's
command was raiGed and all the in
mates macheted and burned with the
house. Wherever a Cuban is found,
whether under arms or not, he is killed.
The Cuban leaders are strong in their
assertion that they will never accept
any form of autonomy. Many of the
soldiers are tired of the war and would
like to see peace, but at the same time
they are loyal to their leaders and will
fight as long as advised to do so.

All members of the University of Chicago

hats to be worn on the holiday trip. AL
freshmen will be required to appear in
soft hats. Mustaches and boards must

half of the members of the two clubs.

and eight who are more or less adorned
with hirsute ornaments.
The fresmen are the most outspoken.
They say that the portion of the decree
which demands that they shall be dis

rage, and declare that they will resign
rather than obey the edict.

The finding of the iron box buried
on Beaver island, near Clinton, Ia, is
exciting much comment. Adolph John.
son, who found the box, is but 16 years
of age, and the son of a crippled laborer.
He discovered it while digging for fish
bait. He found wooden box, inside
of it being an iron box two by two by
four feet.
The boy declines to say how much
money there was in the box. Relatives
who knew of the find the first of the
week say the box contained $4,000
in gold and paper, but decline now to
substantiate the statement other than
to say the money was hid again.
About year ago an iron box was
stolen from the vault of a law Office
in the city which contained about $12,-
900 in mortgages and other securities
Of clients. The lawyer heard of the
finding of the box, and endeavored to
see the boy, but failed. The police are
to be called into the affair by the law
yer to find the box and papers, to see
if it is his missing property.

EDISON'S LATEST.
Discovery of an Easy Process for Sep
arating Dirt from Metal.


arating Dirt from Metal.
The Electrical Engineer publishes the
first authoritative account of Thomas
A. Edison's success in recovering by
electrical means the iron contained in
low-grade ore. The inventors expert
ments have been carried on during the
last six years at the old Ogden iron
mines, few miles from Dover, N. j.,
where he has bulls up plant covering
several acres of ground, and which,
after many experiments, is now capa-
BILE of producing daily from 1000 to
1900 tons of almost chemically pure
iron.
The ore worked contains on an aver
age about Is per cent. of iron, and re-
sembles in appearance very poor quail
ity of gray rock. Mr.. Edison states
that there are 200,OOO,OOO tons of this
ore on the land Immediately surround
ing his plant, from which can be pro-
duced 100000 tons of iron.
His process consists in breaking up
the ore and passing it to the other mills,
where it is pulverized. The powder is
then allowed to fall in close proximity
to electromagnetic, which defect the
iron to one side, and the nonmetallic
matter falls to the other side by grav-
ity. From the time the ore is blasted
until it is resolved into this metallic
form and compressed into brinquettes
for shipment the process is entirely
automatic.
