Events THAT sll,l not Come on.

NEW YORK, oct. S1.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
Rear Admiral Sampson did not attend
the services In the independent church
as he was advertised to do. This fact
has given a great deal Of satisfaction to
Americans here who feared that his
presence might be used to give semi
official endorsement TO an anti-c'athollc
meeting. The bull light and base ball
game advertised for Sunday were vetoed
by the civil governor the former owing
to the alleged fraudulent means used in
advertising 1t aud the latter because the
license to play was not obtained. These
are the official reasons given. but the
real reason was probably to prevent
trouble with the soldiets and the fear OF
a riot.

Chicago, Jan. ia special to the

He is an eloquent man, and he painted

The audience became panic-stricken.

sion the stove was upset and the build

members had regained their senses, the

Washington, Jan. 20.-President
Mckinley today sent to the senate a
message with report from the secre-
tary of state relating to the lynching in
1895 at Yreka, CAL, OF. Louis Morena,

nifty. The president says:
Following the course adopted in

be paid by the secretary of state to the
government of Mexico, to be distrib-
uted among the heirs OF Louis Mo-
rena.

LATEST FROM DAWSON.
Twenty-Five Klondikers Arrive ON the
/ Steamer Corona.

Seattle, Jan. 19.-Twenty-two per-
sons arrived here tonight from Dawson
City on the steamer Corona, bringing
with them small amount of gold dust,
and drafts on the North American
Trading & Transportation Company and
the Alaska Commercial Company
amounting to between $4,000 and
81. 000,0 900. In the party was one
woman, the only woman to come out
this winter. The party consisted of
Andrew Oleson, E. II. jenkins, Leon
ard Sedgwick, E. Thomassini, D. Camp
bell, L. V. Grady. w. M. kaufman,
I. E. Brenier, Joe Brand, 81. G.

James Wardell, j. o. Berth, James
O'Brien, w. II. Welsh, 81. 7. Coffin,
H. L. Burt and Miss Lou Keller.
The amount of drafts brought down
represents the proceeds of sales of
claims to the Cudahy. Healy, Yukon &
Klondike mining companies and private
parties. The largest individual amounts
we're brought by the following:
D. Campbell, $3.50. 900; E. H. Jen-
kins, 1926, 900; Leonard Sedgwick,
800, 900; Andrew Oleson. 1920, 900;
T. E. Brenier, $40. Joe Brand,
$15, 900.
In reference to the food situation at
Dawson, tonight's arrivals corroborate
previous reports that, while food is
scarce, there will be no starvation.
They consider that it will be impossible
to get relief exedition in at this sea-
son of the year.
Relief expeditions can easily reach
the foot of Lake Labarge, but the trou-
BILE will begin when the Yukon river is
reached. The Yukon is filled from
shore to shore with great ice ridges
from 10 to 30 feet high, the ice being
thrown up in great blocks, and stand
ing at all sorts of angles. Men with
dogs can make their way by hugging
the shore, but no great amount of sup
plies can be carried with dog teams. A
roadway can be cut through these ice
ridges. but it would require great
amount of money, and it is doubtful if
the work could be completed before the
ice moved out of the river in the spring.
The proposed use of reindeer in this
country is considered entirely imprac-
ticable.
Heavy snow storms have occurred
this week on the Chilkoot pass, and
travel has been practically impossible
for days at time. Inspector Stuck
land of the Northwest mounted police
stationed at Tagish, was delayed five
days near the summit by snow and
wind.
A detachment, consisting of 80 men
of the Northwest mounted police, have
arrived at Skagway. They were to
have been stationed at different posts
in the interior, but. owing to the short
age of provisions, and the cost of trans
porting supplies, the detachment will
remain at Skagway for the present.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Arrangements

Sifton, minister of the interior for
Canada, wrote Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn as follows:

Sifton telegraphed the following Sat-

ton at Dawson, but great necessity for

Eight Killed Over Cards.
Middleboro, KY, Jan. IA spe-
cial from Hynen says there was fight
on Sandy Fork. Eight men were re-
ported killed, as follows: John Will
liams, Doc Wilson, Bob Colwell, Tom
Shelton, Peter Barrough, Mark Paine,
Eli Howard and Abel Coombs, all col
ored. Sim Paine, Harry McComas, Ed
Martin and Lew Gossman are serious
~ wounded. Intense excitement pre-
walls and further fighting is expected.
The fight occurred over game OF
cards. The extraordinary bloodletting
began Wednesday. when party of me-
groes, who were playing cards, got into
q dispute concerning the way the game
was progressing. Drunkenness added
to the brutality of the fight. Four
men were killed, and subsequently the
fighting was renewed by friends on
both sides, until the mortality list is
equal almost to the casualties in mil
itary engagement. The feeling aroused
gives rise to apprehension OF more

Greatest on Record.

Washington, Jan. 2O.-Accordlng to
statistics at the treasury department,
the value of exports by the United
States for the calendar year 1897 aggre-
gated 81, 100, 900, 900, an increase of
500. 900, 900 over any preceding year.
Another record was smashed with
the trade balance of 1856, 000,O 900 in
favor of Uncle Sam, the highest point
ever reached in the history of this
country.
Exports for the fiscal year which
ended June 80, 1897, were 81, 032, OOO,-
600, thus furnishing a third record,
for the top notch prior to these figures
was reached in 1892, when the exports
amounted to $l,O15, 100000 Bread
stuffs furnished the bulk of the expor-
tations in every instance.

BIG STRIKE NOW ON.
Over Ono Hundred Thousand Cotton
Operatives Affected.

Operatives Affected.
Boston. Jan. 49, The fight between
employer and employe in the New
England cotton mills is on, and what
it will lead up to cannot be foretold
| The great corporations in New Bedford
are silent, and thousands of operatives
are idle, while here and there discon-
tent has cropped out all day, the most
serious being at Biddeford, Me-, when
5000 persons refused to work, thus
closing two mills, and at Lewiston,
where one mill was crippled by 800
weavers staying out. The general wage
reduction is estimated to affect l27, 900
persons in about $50 mills.
| Tonight finds the textile operatives
everywhere intently interested in the
New Bedford strike, for there the real
strength and endurance will come, and
upon the outcome will depend the ques-
ton of an industrial battle the entire
length and breadth of the New England
states. The chief point in this will be
discipline. From the point of view of
the millowner the New Bedford situa-
| tion is now lockout. Intervention
by the state board of arbitration this
week is hardly likely to be allowed, and
no overt act On the part of the strikers
and no attempt to open mill is expect
ed for a number of days. The New
Bedford strikers will receive strike
money from operatives elsewhere, but
the sum total will be reserved until a
protracted battle brings on want and
hardship, which the unions will then
try to relieve.
All the New Bedford mills opened at
the usual time. When noon came the
lights went out, speed stopped, over
seers and second hands prepared to
make everything snug, and mill gates
were closed indefinitely. The labor
unions did little work today except to
carry out plans of campaign which will
be developed only as fainthearted
weavers seek to return to work.
OF the other strikers. little has been
developed in them as yet to forecast the
future. All of the employees of the La
coma and Pepperell mill works in
Biddeford struck because they were
anxious to, while the weavers alone in
the Androscoggin mill simply took
matters into their own hands, regard
less of other departments. These two
strikes, with identical issues, will
serve only as minor fights along the
line, unless the strike fever grows and
they become the nucleus of a general
fight in Maine cities.
One other minor fight now is at Bur-
lington. VT, where the Queen City
mills shut down indefinitely because
the operatives refused point-blank to
accept the reduction. The trouble,
however, began a number of days ago.
but reached the acute stage today.
Taking today's events throughout, it
may be said that things came to pass
just as expected. 1t is the immediate
future which awakens apprehensions.
