detectives half way around the world.
He is in irons and under constant watch

MINERS ENCOURAGED.
Settlement of the Strike Believed to Be
in Sight.


PITTsBURG, Aug. 27.-The miners
leaders are encouraged over the pros
poets of the early settlement of the
strike. Efforts are now being directed
to the Pennsylvania railroad and the
central field of Pennsylvania.
District President Dolan addressed a
meeting at Claridge, Westmoreland
county, last night, and the men decided
to quit work. President Dolan says six
mines have been closed in the Central
district and that work will be suspended
in that region within short time.
Sheriff Lowry went to Bunola this
morning, accom- panied by several dep
uties, and ordered the strikers off the
public roads. The first attempt at start
ing the mines was made at the Cham
pion mines, near Mcdonald. this morn
ing. Two carloads of foreigners were
sent to the mines about daylight and
put to work loading slack into the
cars.
About 500 women marched against
the miners, attacked them. with stones
and clubs and drove them from the cars.
The foreigners fed to Noblestown. The
women then dumped the slack from the
cars. They were met by 1000 strikers
and marched short distance from the
mine where they are now encamp-
ed.

Situation at Montevideo.

New YORK, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Herald from Montevideo says:
The revolutionists have declared that
the assassination of President Borda will
have no effect on their future. The war
will continue.
Avelino Arredondo, the military officer
who shot President Borda, reiterates his
statement that he had no accomp plices.
He now says, however, that he murder
ed the presidentto save his country from
bad government. The fact that he and
all his family belong to the colorados,
the party OF which President Borda was
the leader, seems to prove that the rev.
olutionists had nothing to do with the
crime.
Congress will assemble at once to con-
slider the situation. In the meantime
the president ad interim, Jose Cuestas,
is taking steps to form a new cabinet.
DIR. Francisco Banca has been named as
minister of the interior. All the leading
military commanders are coming to
Montevideo to consult with the new ad-
ministration as to what policy to adopt
against the rebels. In the meantime
reports from the field show no decrease
in the fighting.
General Flores has issued manifesto
calling for complete union of the color
ados against the rebels.

DOOM OF THE TORPEDO
'Mirex" May RevOlutiOnize
Modern Naval Warfare.
INVENTION OF TWO CHICAGO MEN
They Claim 1t WIN Annihilate War
ships at Long Range and at
Small Cost.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-A small brass pro-
jectile, measuring four by one and one
quarter inches was thrown in the lake
off Van Buren street from the govern
ment pier, and at depth of five feet it
exploded. A volume of water spouted
twenty-fiv feet into the air, and dead
fish bobbed up to the surface and hoated
about, mute testimony to the destruc-
tiveness of the explosive.
The name of this explosive, which is
the discovery of two Chicago men. is
mirex. From recent experiments its in
yentors claim it is not a wild statement
to say that mirex will revolutionize
modern warfare.
Unlike the marine torpedo-the most
perfect destroying projectile known to
naval engineers, mirex. comparatively
small brass casing, can be thrown from
cannon to any distance desired under
twenty miles, and, dropping into the
water at the side of man of war, will
sink to stated depth and explode with
annihilating results. No wire has to be
connected with the new protective, as
in the case with the submarine torpedo.
The mirex projectile does not pierce the
steel armor of the gunboat, but settles
in the water to the depth of 5, 10, 10, 20
or any number of feet the operator may
wish, and then explodes.
Its dIscoverers are Herman 6. PETER,
a salesman for Browning, King & Co.,
and William S. Darley, connected with
the Clenfoster Hosiery Company. They
are not expert chemists, and mirex in
it's perfect state is the result of some
luck and good deal of hard work and
enterprise.
John H. Edelman, wealthy former
Philadelphian, has such faith in the vir-
tue of mirex as destroyer of ships and
navies that he is backing it literally
with his money.
PETER is modest man of % years, and
in speaking of the explosive, said:
"It is neither liquid nor solid, nor is it
a powder. While experimenting with it
barley and myself smoke our pipes and
handle it as we would so much sand. 1t
is an odd and wonderful mixture, and
its name signifies nothing. 1t explodes
at any depth we desire, the explosion
depending on the quantity and quality
of the composition we place in the pro-
jectile. We are now having gun model
constructed in Chicago, and within six
weeks this cannon Will be finished and
presented to the United States navy de-
partment. 1t will throw a projectile
eight inches long and three and half
inches in diameter. This will blow into
atoms any ship that will float in the
lake. Each one of these shells will cost
about $40, vastly cheaper than torpedoes
now in use and far more accurate and
destructive"
Mr.. Darley is only 10 years of age.
He will not divulge the character or
nature of the new explosive.
The projectile used in these expert.
ments is about the size of giant fire.
cracker, and the ends of the cylinder
are closed with substance that looks
like tinfoil.
Mr.. barley was once connected with
the navy department.

An Exception to tho Rule.

"The circuit court at Cleveland dis
charged Editor Post, arrested, convicted

Judge Lamson, Of the common pleas

an editorial which was a structure on
court methods in general, Judge Lam
sons methods in particular.
"In his decision, Judge Hale of the
circuit court. quoted authorities in which
the court, by the way, concurred, to the
effect that no newspaper article, however
libelous, could be construed as contempt
unless it related to a case pending in
court, and was calculated to interfere
with the administration of justice. News.
papers, he said, have perfect right to
criticise the courts and judges with refer
ence to cases which are past.
"Because the time for filing a motion
for new trial. said Judge Hale, has
not elapsed has little weight with this

cism of an honest, upright and faithful
