The action of Deputy United States
Collector of Customs Andrews in hold
ing all liquors for the interior at
Skaguay, Alaska, and refusing to for
ward them by conveys so long as the
Canadian officials insist upon stopping
American officers at the summit, has
caused an accumulation in the bonded
warehouse until there are nearly 100
tons of liquors of all kinds awaiting
the action of the secretary of the inter
Tor. Meantime liquor famine is
threatened at Atlin, Log Cabin and
Bennett, and smugglers are making
money. There is a strained feeling
toward the Canadian officials, because
of their arbitrary assumption of the
summit as the boundary line and it
would not take much to cause a clash.

England may Seize the Transvaal.

The increase of the British garrison
at the Cape of Good Hope from $500
been leading to the impression that
some move was premediated against
Transvaal republic, and the liberal
leader in the house of commons, Sir
Henry Cambell Bannerman, recently
asked the government what it meant.
A. j. Balfour, the government leader,
fenced the question, and finally de-
clared it was merely due to the neces-
sity of protecting the coaling stations,
but he added: There are conceivable
possibilities which might make these
troops necessary.

A Negro of Georgia was the Victim of
an Infatuated Mob Who Cooked the
African Alive - 1t Looks as Though
England Wants the Transvaal


In the presence of nearly 1000 peo-
pie who sent aloft yells of defiance and
shouts of joy, Sam Hose, a Negro, who
committed two of the basest acts
known to crime, was burned at the
stake in a public road IA miles from
Newman, Ga. Before the torch was
applied to the pyre the Negro was de-
prived of his ears, fingers and other
portions of his anatomy. Before the
body was cool it was cut to pieces, the
bones were crushed into small bits and
even the tree upon which the wretch
met his fate was torn up and disposed
of as souvenirs. The Negroes heart
was cut in several pieces, as was also
his liver Those unable to obtain the
CHASTITY relies direct paid their more
fortunate possessors eXtravagant sums
for them. Small pieces went for 25
cents and bit of the liver crisply
cooked sold for 10 cents.
Later-Two other Negroes, supposed
to be connected with Hose, have since
been lynched

stick, placed under the front part of

the sale. The front veranda was blown
away and the house shattered some

amounting TO $500.

The Trouble mt the Tamarack and Os-

The Fake spiritualist Ascher Con-
Trouble at the Mines stin Unsettled.


There is no indication of peaceful
settlement of the strike at the lamar
acx and Osceola stamp mills. The re-
cent conference resulted as all the
others did, in no agreement. The
Quincy mill paid off and granted the
men straight 10 per cent raise, which
is what the Tamarack and Osceola men
want, and this makes matters worse.
On account of the strike at the mills
the Tamarack, Osceola, Kearsarge and
Tamarack Junior mines have not pro-
duced ton of copper for week, and
the loss to the mines is greater than
the difference in wages to the men for
year to come. II knocks off the pro-
duction for the month by nearly 800
tons.
Later.-The striking miners have re-
sumed work at the Osceola and Tama-
rack stamp mills The management
agreed to the demands of the men of a
10 per cent raise.
