EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
and Nearly All of Them Have
Perished.

Halifax, N. S., June ia special
dispatch from Glacebay, c. B., one mile
from the Caledonia mine, one of the
Golfers of the Dominion Coal company,
says an explosion accompanied by a
terrible loss of life occurred early to-
lay. More than 40 men were in the pit
when the explosion occurred, but only
IL lost their lives, the others all being
accounted for afterwards. The explo-
sion was aused by gas which had accu-
nulated in the old workings. The night
shift had just come out of the mine,
otherwise the loss of life would have
been even more appalling than it is.

SAMUEL GoMPERs, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in re-
recent address at Topeka, Kan, said:
1.-The average mortal knows nothing of
the growth of the labor movement in
the United States. 1t is only we who
are watching it day by day who realize
the marvellous strides it is making.
Those who predict a terrible and final
struggle between capital and labor are
wrong. There will be no terrible final
struggle. 1t is gradual evolution of
conditions, but not one that will result
in revolution

THE arbitration COURT.
Prospects for the Establishment Of
the Tribunal Much More Hope
full at The Hague.
VERY LITTLE BRlGAADAGE IN CUBA.
That Crimes of Theft and Bloodshed
Have Been So Few In the Island-Russia
Must Face Great Fanline-The Earth
quakes In South America.

The Hague, June 1s.7-The drafting
committee for the arbita alton tribunal
scheme, which should have met yester-
day, adjourned its sitting to Monday
next. The ostensible reason for the
adjournment was the absence of Baron
Estiurnelles de Constant, of the French
delegation, who drew up the minutes.
1t is possible, however, that the dele
gates had not received sufficient in
structions from their respective gov
ernments to make further progress.
The delegates do not regret the oppor-
tunity of a few days more time
to deliberate. The difficulty now
chiefly consists in reconciling the
scheme of the other powers with the
view of Germany, but the prospect is
more hopeful. Even if no agreement
should be reached, an arbitration or
ganization, nevertheless, will be ar
ranged and will remain open to such of
the powers as are not able to sign now.
In the meantime every effort will be
made to meet the German views. The
naval section met yesterday and re-
ceived the report of Count Soltk. A
majority of the section will favor the
prohibition of explosives intended to
spread asphyxiating gases and the use
of rams on warships. The questions of
limiting gun caliber, armor plates and
the force of powder remain undecided
pending the receipt of instructions
from the various governments.
Very Little Brigandage in Cuba.
Havana, June 1s.-With reference to
the reports of brigandage, of thieving
and murders freely circulated, Gov.
Gen. Brooke says that brigandage, in
the American acceptance of the term.
does not exist in Cuba. AS for other
deeds of violence, he thinks it extra
ordinary-considering that the war
has devastated the island from end to
end, and that there is hardly Cuban
family that has not suffered hardship
or something worse, and that multi
tudes have been on the verge of starva-
tion-that crimes of theft and blood
shed have been SO few.
Russia Must Face q Great Famine.
Berlin, June 1S.-Mail advices from
Moscow report total failure of the
crops throughout south and southwest
Russia, causing great suffering. Hopes
of the harvest this autumn have dis
appeared, and Russia must face the
greatest calamity of the century. In
stead of having to tide over two more
months of starvation the peasants will
have to face IA months before they can
hope for returns from the south. Out
side help. will be necessary to prevent
many thousands from starving.

great need of schools for white chill

The Indians provide good schools for

for white children except private
schools and many of the white children
are growing up without any education.

THE statement is made that the health
