Talk Of Sir Michael Hicks-lseach Struck q
Popular Chord In England.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The country gen
orally Is greatly pleased by the an..
nouncemcnt made by the chancellor of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks. Beach,
1T Swansea, in which he echoed the
previous declarations of Mr.. Balfour at
Manchester on the Indian policy of the
government, and added that the min
listers were determined, wen at the
cost of war, that the door of Chinese
commerce should not be shut to
Great Britain. This declaration is rec.
ognized as clearly defining the govern.
ment's position, and both the liberal
and conservative newspapers commend
the plain speaking.
The Globe says: What we want in
China is trade. We want to make q
market for the commerce of the whole
world. Sir Michael Hicks each's an.
nouncoment of the determination of
the government is clear and resolute,
and will tend to peace. It is a pity
that other cabinet ministers have not
spoken thus on other occasions. When
the loan is definitely settled. Russia,
France and Germany will have to let
us know not only whether they intend
to acquiesce to the principle we
have laid down, but they will
have to DO definitely asked to
give a plain answer on the specific
points which have been discussed. In
carrying out the policy promulgated,
the government will have the support
of the people Of this country, and also
of two countries, who above all others
are eminently concerned. Both the
United States and Japan recognize the
wisdom and the benefits which are
likely to be derived from the ports free
and open.
The st. James Gazette also believes
that "thc trim statement tends to

Sensational Climax to II Sermon on "t.is
Satanic Majesty"
BOURBON, Ind, Jan. 19.-Rev. Mr..
Akin, pastor of the flock of Bethel
church, Sunday night took for his
theme, ellis Satanic Majesty. He is
an eloquent ma and he painted the
arch fiend in vivid colors. At the
climax of the description q being,
dressed to represent a devil, with large
head and switching tail, ambled up the
aisle, blowing smoke from its nostrils
and believing, II am the devil and I
want all of you"
The audience became panic stricken.
Men, women and children were hurled
to the floor and trampled upon in the
mad rush for the door. In the con.
fusion the stove was upset and the
building caught fire. Before the horri.
fed members regained their senses the
fire had made such Roadway that all
attempts to save the church We're in
vain.
George Akin, son of the pastor, has
confessed that he was the cause Of the
trouble.

CHICAGO, Jan. l4.-The interstate
joint convention OF bituminous coal
miners and operators are now prepared
to do business in Il m%ethodlcal manner.
The state delegations had been thor.
oughly organized and scale committees
had been named. The miners made no
attempt to conceal the fact that what
they want is an advance throughout
the fold OF 10 cents per ton. The oper-
ators arc far from agreeing with the
operatives OF this point and say a four
cent advance is about what may be ex.
pected. The morning session was Of
only q half hours duration.
The scale committee went into secret
conference Immediately after recess
was taken by the convention. A. L.
Sweet of Illinois was elected chairman,
and William Warner of Pennsylvania
secretary of the meeting.
No material progress was anticipated
by the committeeman and none was
accomplished. The general situation
in the coal trade was discussed at
length by both miners and operators.
Hon. H. L. Chapman of Ohio, who is
member Of the committee for operators,
said:
"The situation is an extremely COM
plicated II and will require thorough
discussion, which will probably con-
tinue several days. Owing to the large
attendance at the convention it was
deemed in~expedient to enter upon a
discussion of the wage scale in open
session. Such proceeding would pre-.
cipitate endless discussion, and be en-
tirely fruitless. In the selected com.
mittee both sides will be free to express
their opinions, and I have no doubt
reach a satisfactory and amicable agree.

It's Reported Discovery Confirmed
by Passengers Just From
Dawson.
Corona Brought Drafts and Dust
to the Amount of q
Million,
Winter Output Estimated at
From Twelve to Fifteen
Million Dollars.

SEATTLE, WASH, Jan. l9.-Twenty-
two persons arrived here from Dawson
City on the steamer Corona, bringing
with them q small amount of gold dust
and drafts on the North American
Trading and Transportation company
and the Alaska Commercial company,
amounting to between 5000, 900 and
$1,000, 900. In the party was one
woman. She is the second woman to
come out this winter.
The amount of drafts brought down
represents the proceeds of sales OF
claims to the Cudahy.H ealy Yukon and
Klondike Mining company and private
parties.
The news brought by the treasure.
laden miners who have arrived from
the Klondike on the steamer Corona,
is important chiefly that it is confirma-
tory of the discovery of the great
mother lode. Welch, Coffin and Burt
are authority for the statement that
the original strike was made at the up.
per end of claim No. 80. Ell Dorado.
while two stringers, one ut Nc. ~, and
another yet lower down, were subse.
quently located. Throughout the dis
trict the discovery is accepted as as.
surance Of the perrnanchcy of the dis
trict as a rich gold mining field. AS to
the placer diggings, they continue rich.
Powder creek, al atfluent Of Quartz
creek, has been having u boom, pans of
1915 and 81 being a ommon thing. or
course the stream was located as soon
as the first important discovery was
made. All Gold creek shows pans of
$40 to 500, while tho miners on Hunkcr
creek, Henderson, Dominion, the Big
Salmon and the Stewart all declare
themselves satisfied with the prospect.
One of the first men to stake ground
on Ell Dorado, and the very last man
out of the Klondike country, is Andrew
Olsen, known as ''tho Big Swedc." He
is notable as being the owner of the
claim Oh which the biggest Klondike
nugget has yet been found. The lump
OF gold was valued at $3.50.
Replying to a request for an estimate
Of the winters gold dust output of the
camp, Joe Campbell, one of the return.
ing miners, said:
eve have done a great deal Of figur-
ing on that and it now appears that the
output, Notwithstanding tho scarcity Of
food and light, will be from $l2, 600, 900
to $l5, QUO, 600. DR.. H. H. Littlcfield of
Skaguay came OH the Corona. He has
just closed a contract with the Can.
adian government to pack provisions to
Lake Bennett for 25 cents pound.
L. L. Grady, formerly a banker Of
Fairfax, Mimi, paid 5000 for the priv.
ilege of walking from Dawson behind O
brisk dog team.
Murat Anderson, an elderly gentle.
man of St. Louis, made the trip after
much the same fashion.
In reference to the food situation at
Dawson, the arrivals ~corroborate pre-
'vious reports that while food is scarce,
there will be no starvation. They con.
slider that it will be impossible to get q
relief expedition in at this season of
the year.

Since the United States Supreme

The Constitution of the State having
