Annie ON Her NInsoIe

Annie Rice is a Polish woman who ha,
gained more nOtOriety and has figured in
more law suits than any ether woman in
town and also has the reputation of being
able TO Queensbury any man or woman who
dare stand before her. Sunday afternoon
she was before Justice Shoemaker stating a
complaint against neighbor when a Polish
man standing near interposed remark to
the effect that the Justice should not believe
the woman, as she was very bad. "Vat for
dat your pizness ?" asked Annie turning
suddenly upon the man and she dealt him
several blows in the face in rapid succession.
The fellow went down. He tried TO regain
his feet to strike back, but Annie was too
quick and strong for him and followed uu
her advantage in great style. She did not
stop until she hustled the man out of the
office and down the stairs. Justice Shoe
maker had remained a silent spectator of the
encounter. When Annie returned he said
with great composure, Now, Annie, suppose
you go home and take a rest You have done
enough work for hot day like this" Annie
took the hint and left, remarking as She

astonished at the eredt NUMBER OF
telegrams received from operators re
questing permission to operate their
mines by paying the price demanded
by the miners. These requests could
not be granted, for the reason that to
do so would be defeating the very
object which the strike is intended to
accomplish.
A prominent Ohio operator stated
last evening that in his opinion the
strike would prove failure Not that
he wished it to so terminate, but from
the fact that the entire Pittsburg dis
trict was not represented at the meet
ing hid in Pittsburg on Saturday he
did not believe all the mines in that
district would strike, and unless they
do it cannot be expected that the OBJ
ject for which the strike has been or
dered viii be accomplished.

The Tennessee Miners.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July g. - The
miners in the Chattanooga district are
all at work. but the situation is very
feverish. At lockwood, Dayton and
other points the men recently accepted
a reduction, since which time they have
not appeared to be satisfied. The men
In this district are usually controlled
by the action Of the Soddy miners, and
there has been no disposition at that
point to go out. There Is, however, an
undercurrent of dissatisfaction that
may at any time terminate in a strike
which will be followed by all the other
miners in the district.

AT NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS

President Rntchford Says All De-
pends on the Tittsburg District.
Columbus, o., July g. - President
Ratohford of the United Mine Work
ers, spent yesterday at headquarters,
but not many reports were received
from the various mining districts
throughout the country as to the prog
ress Of the strike, President Ratchford
said 1t would require several Gays to
receive full information on this point.
as the district presidents would neces-
sarily have to have time to communi-
cate with the numerous locals before
reporting definitely to national head
quarters as to the completeness of the
suspension. Yesterday being observed
in many places as a national holiday
will naturally retard the reports to
some extent Before the end of the
present week, however, the national
officers viii have the information at
hand as to the exact situation at all the
mines in the country. If there should
be any mines in operation, the officials
will know the location, number of men
employed, and whether or not they are
members of the miners organizations.
The information which the national

miners have generally suspended work
and the strike promises to be a sue
cess.
The success of the whole movement
seems to devolve upon the men in the
Pittsburg district and judging from
the latest advices received from that
field the miners there propose to do
their part. So far as can be learned
the operators in both the Plttsburg
and Ohio districts do not intend 60

mines, but have concluded to quietly
close down ana await developments.
At least it viii require several days for

course TO pursue.
President Ratchford said: "The sue
cess of the movement naturally de-
pends upon the unanimity with which
the miners respond, We are ready and
willing to lead the movement, but the
efforts of the miners themselves is the
real force, and we cannot fail to sue

NEW YORK, Feb. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana, via Key West,
says: Consul General Lee has resigned.
His letter. rendering his resignation
under certain conditions, goes by the
next mail. He determined some days
ago to take such step If he were not
upheld in his efforts to protect all Amer
lean citizens in Cuba.
The consul general asked the state
department that he be authorized to
demand the release of citizens of the
United States confined in Cuban pris
ons nuder the same Illegal circumstan-
ces as was the Inflated Ruiz. Such au-
thorization has not been granted.
The Spanish warships in Cuban waters
have since yesterday been concentrating
in the harbor of Havana. This is re-
garded as very significant, in view of
the important incidents of the past few
days.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear here to make Consul General Lee
deny the Herald's Jacksonville dispatch
to the effect that the diplomatic repre-
sentative of the United States in Ha-
vana had asked the government to send
warships to Cuban waters. As pre-
text for such denial and a basis on
which it can be founded, it is stated
that according to the dispatch Consul
General Lee has asked for a warship
TO take him to the United States.
What the consul general did do, can
reiterate on the highest authority, was
to ask for warships to sport him in
his efforts to protect Americans in peril
Of their lives. and American interests
which were in jeopardy.
The Herald'S Jacksonville dispatch.
therefore. was absolutely correct and
upon indisputable authority 1 can con-
firm ii in every detail If necessary fur
ther I am confident that I can secure
and send to the Herald the full official
telegram in which Consul General Lee
asked for war ships.
Great anxiety is felt at the palace and
in all official circles at the news from
Cienfuegos. which states that that city
is the center of serious mutiny of the
Spanish troops. Large arrears Of pay
are due the army in Cuba. and the dis
content caused by this has eliminated
in open disobedience in the Spanish
ranks in the Cienfuegos district
The insurgents in the eastern end of
the island have captured Bayamo, an
important town in Santiago.
A dispatch to the Herald from Wash
ington says: The resignation of Con-
sui General Lee precipitated dramatic
climax to the administrations Cuban
policy, which has caused CONSERVATION
among the officials here. Whether for
diplomatic reasons or because of-an idea
entertained that General Lee may be in
duced to reconsider his action. admin
istration officials still persist in de-
nying that he asked for war vessels to
back up his demands in Cuba; that he
has asked for instructions to demand the
immediate release of American prison.

refusal on the part of the administra-.
ton to grant his requests.

JOINT RULE FORTY-ElGHT

Rather Uncertain
OF the Eighteen Hundred Bills introduced,
Oaiy Thirty.five Have So Far
Reached the Governor
Spec.al to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SACRAMENTO. Feb. 22.-Today. If
possible, has been duller than 1t was
yesterday, and scarcely a member of the
legislature is to be seen either at the
capitol or on the street. The train from
San Francisco which arrives this ever
ing is expe oted to bring back the states
men. and tomorrow both houses viii!
have all members present.
1t is practically settled that the reso-
luton passed early in the session to
adjourn on March 4th will not prevail,
for joint rule As provides that no bill
shall be presented to the governor for
approval subsequent to the twelfth day
preceding adjournment except revenue,
deficiency and claims bills. If the ses-
sion were to adjourn on March 4th all
bills now on file in both houses would be
lost and neither house. and but very few
members, would agree to that 1t is
certain, therefore, that the Legislature
will not adjourn before March 18th, II
then. The result of that rule is likely
to cause much trouble, as, IL it is ad
hered to, bills passed in the last twelve
days will be lost, and much needed leg
islation will be killed 1t is probable
that the rule will be abrogated, but as
it stands today all bills not passed by
March 1st are lost. No bill can be in
troduced now except by unanimous con-
sent. which will not be easy to obtain.
There are over 1900 bills introduced, and
only thirtyfive have 50 far reached the
governor, so much still remains to be
done. 1t becomes more evident that
sixty days is not enough for proper leg
islation. FRASIER.

He is said to be exceedingly gratified at
