In HANDS OF A MOB.
MOntserrat Rebels Against Col
lection of Excise Duty.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 19.-Reports
received here from Antigua, British
West Indies, say there has been a re-
currence at Montserrat, Leeward is
lands, of serious riots in the northern
district, extending to the capital Ply
mouth, over the old excise duty collec-
tionS trouble which occaSioned the riots
of last year. The people have been
openly rebelling against the police abuse
of the domiciliary search law, the po-
lice We're overcome and the island for
a time was in the hands of the mob.
The chief government officials were
confined in their houses until arrival of
the British cruiser Talbot changed the
conditions. After a sharp conflict be-
tween a detachment of marines and the
rioters the ringleaders were arrested.
There has also been continuation of
the troubles in the French islands of
Guadalupe where 27 more or less dis
astrous incendiary fires have occurred
on the plantations since the burning of
POinte-a-Pitre, each preceded by
anonymous threat to the governor pro-
testing against a continuation of the
protection of immigrant labor on the
plantations by the military.

WANT MERRIAM's SCALP.
Central Labor Union Demands His
Recall and Trial

New York June 19.-The Central Fed
Grated Labor Union today presented a
resolution instructing its secretary to
write to President Mckinley and the
war department demanding the recall
and trial by court martial of General
Merriam, because of his policy regard
ing the striking miners at Couer D.
Alone, Idaho. A comission was also ap-
pointed to draft resolutions denouncing
General Merriam.
This action by the central body was
inspired by the reading of the reply
from the war department to a letter
asking if General Merriam's orders to
the miners to employ no union men had
the sanction of the department. The
reply was written by Frederick c..
Squires, confidential clerk to Secretary
Alger, and inclosed a copy of instruc-
tions sent to General Merriam on May
81. These were as follows:
you will instruct Major Smith, COM
manding at Wallace, that he is to aid
the United States troops simply to pre-
serve order. These were your original
instructions The army must have
nothing whatever to do with enforcing
rules for the government of miners or
miners union. That is a matter for the
local authorities to deal with"

St. Louis. June 19.-Colonel r. NJ.
White, editor of the Mexico Ledger,
came to town Unexpectedly last nlgnt
from Paris, France Colonel White
passed through the city not long ago
on his way to Europe, seeking we'll
earned rest after 20 years of almost
uninterrupted editorial toll. He told
his friends that he was going to Ant
werp, from which city he proposed to
take q Ielsurely jaunt over the contI-
neut He had no definite plans, al
though it was his intention to devote
the early portion of his outing to Lon
don and Paris.
When he got to Antwerp he learned
that the Lesueur family of this state
had a home in Paris. so he set out for
France without stopping for an instant
fn the port of entry. After a day in
Paris he became enamOred of the place.
He took an apartment and announced
that he proposed to give dinner in
order to make the acquaintance of the
members of the American colony He
sent out invitations and in "A hours
nearly every American in Paris knew
that Colonel White was in town. The
affair was a distinct success. Just as
the host was saying goodnight to his
friends a cable message arrived from
Portland, Ore. announcing that 1t was
highly desirable for Colonel White to
be present at the National Editorial
convention, in that city His guests
laughed at the idea, but Colonel White
looked serious.

and I'd like to go back with him.
His friends expOstulated, but it was
In vain. Then, when they saw that he
was in earnest, they assisted him to get
his luggage together. A few hours later
he was on board ship at Antwerp, to
the surprise of the captain, who was all
but ready to sail
TN tell you" said Col. White last
night. that town of Paris is a daisy.
1t beats anything I ever saw. The
Americans there are happy and all of
them are learning to be great musicians
or masters in art. And say, they talk
about the Standard theater in StLOuis!

TARIFF PROMOTES TRUSTS
Philadelphia Lawyers Comment on
the Testimony.

Philadelphia,Ju June 19.-Henry O.Have-
meyers statement before the industrial
commission was widely discussed here
in political and business circles. Former
Supreme Court Justice Samuel G.
Thompson, who stands high in the
councils of the Democratic party, ex-
pressed this view of Mr.. Havemeyer's
testimony:
Necessarily, the higher the tariff the
greater the opportunity for the for1na-
ton of trusts. The Dingley law, there
fore, in its scope in the direction of high
tariff, was a tendency to afford the oppOr-
tunity and temptation to promote
trusts. 1 do not think a moderate tariff,
such as Mr.. Havemeyer suggests, would
of itself do away with these great COM
binatiOnS of capital
