down last Tuesday. Speaking of the
matter, T. J. Coolidge, treasurer, says
"We have made up our accounts for
the first six months of the year and
find that we have made no money and
have not moved our goods, so have
ordered the mills closed for the month
of August at least" The dividends
of the Amoskeag mills have been. re.
duced during the past l2 months. The
closing of these mills will affect about
5000 operatives.
Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, is
for law and order. He does not ap-
prove of the recent lynching of DR..
w. L. Ryder, and he is going to try to
bring the guilty parties to justice. He
has offered the following rewards {:
$500 for arrest and conviction of the
first two members of the mob that
lynched Ryder; 500 for each subse-
ouent arrest and conviction, and $3.50
for the arrest and conviction of any
person or persons hindering or inter-
fering with the bringing of the lynch
ers to justice. The governor announ-
ces that he has in his possession the
names of several of the lynching mob,
which numbered only Is, with positive
proof against three of them. He ex,
presses his determination to exert the
full power of his Office to punish the
guilty parties.
- There is weeping and wailing
among many of the politicians who
have been hanging around Washing
ton all summer, with what they con-
sidered was the absolute assurance of
eventually getting fat jobs. In many
cases the jobs had already been picked
out, and the expectant politicians were
resting easy under the assurance that
it was only necessary for them to wait
until their cases could be reached by
the president. But now, just before
the president left for his summer vaca.
ton, these expectant politicians have
received bad shake up. Many of
them have been told that owing to an
oversight, their places had been prom
ised to friends Of Senator Hanna, and
they have about come to the conclu-
sion that Hanna now has almost
everything in sight for use in his effort
to get back to the senate from Ohio.
- The armor-producing companies
of the United States having declined
to furnish the navy department the
armor needed for the three battleships
now building, at the price of $500 per
ton, fixed by congress, Secretary Long
has taken the second step marked out
by congress, and has called upon the
ship building companies themselves to
submit propositions for providing and
fitting the armor. One of them, the
Union Iron Works, of San Francisco,
has already responded declining, like
the armor companies, tie departments
invitation. There is little doubt that
the others will make like answer.
If, as is expected, all Of the shipbuild-
ers reply unfavorably, Secretary
Long will proceed one step further
and appoint board of officers to car
ry out the direction Of congress, and
frame a plan for the establishment of
a government armor plant.
- Pauline Kellogg, the daughter of
Judge Kellogg, an old miner of Colo
RADIO, who now lives in Chicago, is
about to start for the klondyke to
engage in mining on ner own account,
says a dispatch. She was born at
Breckinridge, COL, and lived all during
her youth in an atmosphere of mining
speculation. Although young and
delicate, she is determined to brave
the hardships of camp life on the Yu-
kon, and is only waiting till she can
start in the company of some friends.
She says: 81 am not going to look on
there. l shall take up claim, hire
help, and superintend the work myself.
Of course, 1 know it is life of hard
ship. I can remember some Of the
things we used to 90 through in the
cabin at Breckenridge when the coun-
try was new. There is an element of
danger in it ; but l feel able to take
care of myself. 1 have known of wo-
men in Colorado who did just this
thing, and grew rich. My expecta-
tions are moderate, but l do not see
why could not do the same"
"A special from Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, to The Globe Democrat, says /:
A letter written by japanese official
formerly living in this city, conveys
the information that the japanese
government will forward to Honolulu
in the latter part of July, 1900 Japa-
nese immigrants. These individuals
are now in the garrison at Neegata,
being soldiers in the japanese service,
and will so on shore in Honolulu as
simple citizens, but drilled and ready
for military duty at once. The steam
ers which are to convey these men
have been chartered by the japanese
government, and will carry in addition
to the 1900 passengers, arms, ammu-
milton and military stores of sufficient
quantity to make it interesting for any
party trying to prevent their landing.
In addition, three large men-of-war
are already prepared to leave Yoko-
homa, to arrive at Honolulu at about
the same time as the socalled immi-
grants will take place. The cores
