 Queen Charlotte Islands.

Ottawa, Sept. 13.-A complaint comes from the Pacific ocean of raids made by American buccaneers upon the Queen Charlotte Islands. Using their own harbors for safety, it is alleged they have been making raids upon the territories and fishing grounds of Brit ish subjects.

 The complaint goes on to say that the marauders are well armed and have number of villages completely in their hands. The Canadian customs depart ment is robbed of thousands of dollars every year. It is urged that cruiser be dispatched there to straighten mat ters out and restore law and order. An investigation of the case is to be order- ed by the Dominion government.

Waiting To-day,s Events Anxiously.

Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 1S.-At brigade headquarters late tonight there was a feeling that a critical period had been passed with the burial of the dead min CTS only to meet with a condition to- morrow that may become serious.
 At midnight the City Troops of Phil adelphia were all asleep and not one of the men knew that by daybreak they would be reused and ordered to proceed to Eclley. There is a possibility that detachment of infantry may also be sent, but this could not be confirmed. As General Gobin expressed himself to q reporter for the Associated Press:
 ''To-night's quiet is an unnatural quietness."
 The McAdoo men who decided on Sat- urday to return to work tomorrow held meeting tonight that lasted for five hours. The result could not be learned.

The French Anarcn1sC coming 10 Ine
 United States in October.
 Paris, Sept 13.-Louise Michel, the notorious French anarchist, is going to the United States in October. She will be accompanied by prominent English anarchists, and they will undertake a speech making tour in America, for the purpose of advancing the anarchist pro- paganda. Mile. Michel believes that the prevailing labor troubles make the present time advantageous for spread ing anarchist doctrines. In the mean time, a fortnight's similar campaign in Belgium will be closely watched by the European police.
 The state department at Washington has instructed all the ministers and consuls of the United States to prompt ly notify the home government of the departure of anarchists for the United States. It is understood that the au- thorities at Washington. through their representatives abroad, are in commu- nication with the European police and are cooperating with the European an- ti-anarchist movement, which was in- spired by the assassination of the pre- mier of Spain, by Angiolli, the Italian anarchist The United States govern ment, therefore, will be notified of the departure of Louise Michel and doubts are expressed here as to whether she will be allowed to land.

HE KILLED TWENTY OF THE FOE.
Heroic Work of a sikh in Defending an
 English Police Post.

Simla, Sept. 13.-The insurgents this morning captured the Sarhargarti po- lice post. The post was attacked by thousand Orakzais. A gallant defence was made by the garrison of twenty one Sikhs, who for six and a half hours sustained three furious assaults. In the third assault the Orakzais forced the door. The garrison left the walls to dispel the invaders, and the enemy was thus enabled to escalade the fort with the ladder.
 One Sikh defended the guard room, killing twenty of the foe. He was final ly burned alive at his post. The sig mailing kept up communication until the fort fell at half past four. It is reported that he was the only Sikh who was spared.
 Information from the front received this afternoon shows the Afridis are at tacking the Samana forts in force.
