Connection of the Prince With the
TranSYaaI Invasion.

London. June 2.-There is strong ant
ingly toIeran attitude of the Parlia-
mentary committee, which is invest eating
the affairs of the British South Africa Com
pany, toward tie men composing what
Is known as the Rhodes group. Even the
Tory newspapers condemn the nasco IN
which the inquiry has resulted.
The belief grows that the true reason
for the co;nmiftee's not compelling the pro-
ductinn OF certain mysterious cable dis
patches from Mr.. Rhodes. which dispa tches
are in possession OF Mfr. Hawksley, coua-
sci for the company, is that given in a

made TO violate the territory of the Trans

this outrage on a nation with which Great
Britain was at peace.
This afternoon the st. James Gazette,
a Tory organ, says that the committees

people have strict religious laws against

that they have some reason on their side.
This being so, the attempts of missionaries
to upset this centurylong custom and to
introduce a religious rite which inculcates
wine-jrinking (another of the particular
antipatlies of the nativesl, are, to say the
least, unwise and unprofitable. II the
Hindus believe. and can prove that they, as
a nation, are the better for strict laws

of common sense, should they not hold to
that part OF their religion as long as they

Altoona, Pa, June 2.-The indications
of a general strike afnoag the coal miners
or this regio3 are Of the strongest. Owing
TO the slack condition OF the market a
number Of companies have ordered redHo-
tions in wages, and others will follow.
Two hundred miners employed by the

ton of 5 cents per ton On Learning Of
the strike. the company ordered an adj
ditioHal reduction OF 3 cents. This nom
ing $50 men Of the Taylor and McCOy
Company refused to go 70 work at the
reduction.
The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company has
asked Companies furnishing its coal 10 re-

An Ancient Custom of India

A great deal has been said about the
Hindu's lack of vitality and energy, and
about his weakness of constitution. Some
times these physical characteristics are
by his vegetarian diet, and once upon a
time they were laid to the door OF his
religion The probabilities are, how
ever. that climate is at the bottom OF race
characteristics the world over Tie men
OF the hills near the Himalaya Mountains
are Hindus, and they are vegetarians; and
their strength is something absolutely phe-
nomenal 1t is not an unusual thing for
coolie to carry chest of tea weighing
miles, making at the same time an ascent
of from three TO four thousand feet, over
the mountains of Darjiling. Hindu
who had been iecturing in this city was
once asked IL it was not necessary, In
cold climates, for men TO become meat
eaters for the sake OF health and strength.
he replied by the statement that when
the pork-eating Englishman wishes to cross
the Himalayas, where the climate is as
cold as 1t is In our Northern States, he is
Obliged to hire the vegetarian native to
carry him on bis back. That seemed to
settle the question.
