LONDON, Aug. 9.-Ex-Queen Natalie
of Servia has joined the ranks of au-

some of which are interesting, as they
were evidently learned from her own
suffering. She says, for instance: "The
dream of every brave soldier is to die
for something great and to live for
something nice" "A girl is an angel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Colonel A.

vas Will result in the dethronement OF
the Spanish government and the free
dom of Onba. The people Of Spain are
ripe for & revolution, being discontented
over the irigh taxation which grinds
them down to poverty, and in some
cases to starvation. This is the begin

Hoe ief General That Canovas' Assassina-
tion Will Affect Political Affairs.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-This govern
ment probably has already received the
formal notification of Premier Canovas'
assassination, but if SO, it is locked up
with other dispatches in the state de-
partment. Secretary of State Sherman
received tho first news of the affair
through the Associated Press bulletin.
He expressed deep interest in the details.
He said: "This deplorable event will
have some effect, of course, OH the po-
litical affairs Of Spain, but to what ex-
tent cannot say. The death of one
man is not necessarily going to change
the sentiment Of tho whole country.
Spain is very tenacious country. Her
money is gone, her resources have been
exhausted, but she means, evidently, to
hold on to Cuba Canovas was strong
factor in the government of Spain, but
it is not impossible that another will be
found to replace him in that important
office, having similar views and the
same pronounced ideas"
Morgan Predicts a Republic.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, a men,
ber of the foreign affairs committee of
the senate and the champion of Cuba i'll
that body, predicted in an interview
that the assassination might be the fore
runner of a complete change Of gov.
ernment, a republic replacing the mon.
archy. This, he thought, was the
present tendency and the assassination
he regarded as an evidence of disin-
tegration of the Spanish government.
He added:
"This affair is going to create com.
plete revulsion throughout the whole OF
Spain. That country is now in very
shaky condition. 1t is true, doubtless,
that the assassin was an anarchist, but
the act is representative OF feeling that
exists all over the country
The only member of the Spanish le-

of Senior Canevas' assassination was re-

Wives of Working Miners at
Plum Creek Aid in Getting
the Men to Quit.
Result Brought About by Mis-
sionary Labors of Women
From Elsewhere.
Expected That the De Armitt
Mines Will Soon Be Com
pletely Tied Up.

P1TTsBURG, Aug. 9.-Although this
was considered a day of rest among the
strikers. probably tho most effective
work among the Plum Greek miners
was performed, and as a result the strik-
ers have been informed that considera-
bly, less than 200 men will be at work at
the mine in the morning.
A large mass meeting was held at
Camp Isolation at Plum Greek during
the afternoon, which, in addition to
about 1000 others, was attended by
about 200 women, the wives and daugh-
ters Of the miners who are still at work
in the Plum Creek mine. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that deputies visited tho
homes of these people and advised them
not to attend the meeting, nearly every
wife
Brought Her Husband With Her.
Because of the many restrictions put on
the strikers they have hitherto been un-
able to get a chance to argue their cauSc
with the Plum Creek workmcn, ala tno
occasion given them was taken advan-
tage of to the full The unusual oppor-
tunity was the result of the missionary
work of the wives of the strikers from
Mcdonald, Finleyville and Carnegie.
These women have been working as
siduously during the past week, and
secured the promise of the wives Of the
working miners to attend the meeting
and bring their husbands. The result Of
the meeting was the assurance from 100
men that they would join the strikers.
The latter think it will only be a ques-
tion of very short time until the De
Armitt mines are tied up completely.
