Mr.. Chamberlain, in his capacity as
British secretary of state for the coli
onies, has just caused it 10 be known
that the English government has re-
solved to release the son and two broth
ers of the famous Zulu king, Cetewayo,
from their captivity at st. Helena, and
to restore them 10 their own country.
Years ago they were exiled TO that dis
NAL island, where Napoleon died pris-
oner, on the mere suspicion of being en-
gagged in organizing a revolt against
British rule in zululand. They have
always protested their innocence, and,
inasmuch as their guilt has never been
proved and they have never been con
vieted by any court of law, their liberia
tion is but a tardy act of justice.

Anaconda and hon Fight to "a Finish

A battle royal between two large
snakes and an attempt on the part Of
the surviving reptile 10 count.a woman
among its victims were the cause Of
a great deal of excitement at New York
the other afternoon, says the New,
York journal.
The two snakes were a tensfootana-
conda and an s1s foot cross between
python and a boa constructor. They
were put into box together. Sudden
" there wasa com1notion on the inside
of the box that brought over Miss
Madeline, to whom they belonged, in
hurry. She found the two snakes
intertwined so that IL was hard to tell
which was which. The anaconda was
making frantic efforts to get the boa's
head into its wBde-open jaws, and the
boa, on the other hand, was contracting
It's muscles around the body of the
enemy with strength born of despair.
Miss Madelinemade a quick dive into
the box through the glass lid. which
had been broken in the melee, and
seized the boa at the back of its head
with one hand. while with tho other
she clutched the anaconda in the same
spot. With all her might she began
tugging away, but to NO purpose. The
snakes then wound themselves around
her body. During the struggle ono of
the woman's hands slipped. and quick
as a flash the boa turned and bit her
hand, making a deep flesh wound.
Miss Madeline dropped the snakes
then In a hurry. The anaconda twisted
itself with renewed vigor around the
boa's body, and with a spasmodic, sud-
den Jerk finally succeeded in breaking
its enemy's back. II was caught and

reached mis- house in a few minutes and
secured his gun. Then by cutting
across the country he came out on the
road where the highwayman was ex-
pected to pass. The farmer had not
long to wait. The highwayman came
along at good gait. whistling, in evil
dent joy over his late haul.
AS he got opposite Mr. Brown the
latter stepped out with the gun to his
shoulder and told the thief to hold uI
his hands. The next order was 90 hand
over the money. watch and chain. This
was done quickly. Then the farmer or

had He was hungry and wanted to gel

on the man and told him to go. he

SENATOR KENNEY oNTHETARIFF

Centreville. Nd. Oct. 27.-The Demo-
Gratis of Queen Anne county held a
mass meeting yesterday afternoon in
the Court House in Centreville. and an
exceptionally large number were pres
ent despite the inclement weather. Rob
ert NJ. Price was chairman and Colonel
w. Scott Roberts, secretary. Speeches
were made by Philemon 3. Hopper and
John B. Brown, of Centreville, and
Senator Kenney. Of Delaware Mr..
Kenney discussed national issues and
specially the Dingley tariff bill. His
audience was enthusiastic and the po-
litical leaders who had gathered predict
fair majority in this county. The dis
affection that existed shortly after the
primaries is said to have to some extent
subsided, but the best informed do not
calculate any unusual plurality for the
ticket; in fact, it is probable that it will
be much below the average.

Sheriff Lowery Will Not Have
Marching of Miners in
His Bailiwick.
No One to Be Allowed on Com
pany Property Withouta
Signed Permit.
Importation of Miners Will Like
ly Be Attempted---Mine
Officials Satisfied.

P1TTsBURe, Aug 18. Martial law
has been declared in Plum, Patton and
Wilson townships by Sheriff Lowry.
The three mines OF the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal company are in
these townships and all roads leading to
them will be patroled by his deputies.
Persons walking or driving along the
roads who cannot give satisfactory ac-
count of himself or herself, will be or
dered to leave the neighborhood and
upon refusal will be arrested.
The sheriff has not authority to break
up the camp of the strikers until the
court has passed upon the question, but
announced that he is determined to stop
the marching and trespassing on the
company's property. No one will be al
lowed on the company's property who
fails to have pass signed by Superin-
tendent DeArmitt. There are now
nearly 800 men in the camp at Plum
creek. In addition 300 men arrived at
8 a. M. from Belle Vernon. The large
increase in the number in camp has
caused shortage of provisions, and the
men are hungry. They threatened to
march during the morning, but were
induced not to do SO by the deputies.
Last night it was decided to have the
women march as the injunction did not
include them. The order of the sheriff
to arrest all persons, however, caused a
change in the programme and there
was no marching. Sheriff Lowry said
he would disperse the women as quickly
as the men, as he interpreted the courts
order to enjoin not only the men, but
all who attempted to interfere with the
DeArmitt miners in any way, by a show
of force.

TO IMPORT MINERS.

Believed the DeArmitts Will Try to Start
Up With New Men.
PITTsBURG, Aug 18.-The strike lead
ers, for some reason have decided to
abandon the idea of having a meeting
of the heads Of the different labor or
carnations to devise ways and means
of battling with an adverse ruling of
the court on the injunction. President
'Dolan says a NEE ting of the officers
may be held on Thursday, but if it is it
will be for another purpose. There is a
rumor current that the DeArr1itts have
arranged for the importation of 200
foreign workmen next Monday to work
in the Turtle creek and Plum creek
mines. This is denied by Thomas De
Armitt, who says the company has
enough men working, and that there is
no need of importing other miners. In
spite of all denials, however, it is be-
heved that the New York and Cleve-
land Gas Coal company will give notice
to all strikers that they are willing to
re-employ all the old hands and should
the strikers not choose to return to work
within few days, the company will
try to employ some who will work.
