areched u position quarter OF mile
from Calumpit, thus commanding the fort.
Prisoners captured by Hales troops

Filipino staff are at Calumpit with a
great force of Filipino troops.
Delore daylight the Fourth cavalry,

the Montana regiment advanced to the
left of the railroad, and the Kansas regi-
ment moved forward TO the right north oil
Malolos. They had with them long
supply train with two armed cars in 1. ont
carrying two Calling and Colts rapid fire
guns and the six FOUNDERS.
The insurgents attempted to destroy
their bridge outside of Calumpit and sue
ceeded in badly varying the iron frame
work.
As soon as the soldiers left the Filipino
capital the natives began flocking in as
they did at Santa Cruz, before the las

Hill & Sullivan and the Last Chance
mines. Sixteen men, it is said, have been
discharged from the Bunker Hill upon
suspicion of union sympathies. About $50
have quit work there, leaving approx
mately 100 men, which number is said
to have Tailed last night and this morn
ing.
The Last Chance has shut down, every
man having struck yesterday evening. The
superintendent consented to a raise of So
and $3.50 for muckers and miners, but
would not concede to the unions demand
for $3.50 all around until so directed by
the owners. Mr.. Sweeney is here and will
confer with the miners this afternoon.
Last night armed men were put on
guard at the Bunker Hill mill and tram
way to protect the property in case of VIC
lence on the part of the miners. All is
quiet today, but serious trouble is feared.
1t is rumored that members of the union
are to come down this afternoon from the
Canyon to assist the miners here. When
asked why the assistance of outsiders is
needed some of the union men hint darkly
at the times of '92. Non-unionists in part
are fearful of an outbreak. The more pes
sim.stic, however, still declare that the
union will not resort to force.

ford, was found swinging to the limb OF
a. tree about mile from town this morn

Strickland was a negro minister 90 years
of age. Sam Hose, just as the torch was
about to be applied to the pile of wood
under him yesterday, admitted that he
killed Crawford, but said Strickland had
given him $l2 to do the deed. The CON
fession of Hose caused great excitement
here and crowd left for the plantation
of Major Thomas, for whom Strickland
worked and at dusk took the negro from
the place and brought him into town.
Major Thomas made speech to the
mob while they were on his farm, urging
them not to take the negro and saying he
believed the fellow was innocent. An i'm
promptu trial was held in the public
square. Everybody who knew Strickland
was called upon to give testimony as to
his character. Several negroes employed
bv Major Thomas said the negro was a
law abiding citizen and was not implicated

Chicago, April 24.-Deinite information
reached Chicago that the contracts had
been signed in London on Friday which
formally transferred to a single organiza-
ton practically all of the large producing
copper mines in the United States. The
details were meager, and came through the
brokers who had handled minor parts of
the deal in this city. 1t is understood
that the mines under contract produced
about 425,O00,0O0 pounds fine of the toral
output of 5S3,OOU,OO0 pounds fine that
were mined in this country last year.
These mines, it is claimed, will produce
fully 475,OOOOOO pounds fine of the out
put of 6OO,OOO,OOO pounds fine estimated
for $780,
According to estimates made directly
after the negotiation for the big produc-
ers became public property the actual
value of the mining properties taken over
will exceed 4OO,OOOO00. The particu-
lars, how ever, will probably be made pub
lie during the coming week, and the
formal life OF the company will date from

Two Explosions.

There we're two explosions. The first
occurred at $3.50 and the second a few
minutes later. The factory is d total
wreck and the buildings for the distance
of half the square on both sides of Cal
lowhill street were partially demolished.
SO far as can be learned there were but
six men in the chemical works when the
catastrophe occurred. One of these was
blown high in the air and his body struck
the ground at distance of % yards from
the mill, another was burned almost to a
crisp.
Adjoining the Fleers establishment was
a grocery store owned by Arthur Dona-
hue. Two boarders are said to have been
asleep in the upper part of the house and
they have not been accounted for Mrs.
Donahue, the grocer's mother, was so bad
ly injured that her death is momentarily
expected.
On the opposite side of the street, in the
dwelling of Mrs. Glideson, burning benzine
ignited the clothing of Mrs. Glideson and
that of her child. With the infant in her
arms she ran screaming into the street
enveloped in flames. Firemen and hospital
surgeons FASTENED to her assistance and
she was conveyed to the hospital in an
ambulance.
1t is impossible to estimate the loss.
Fully one hundred houses are more or
less damaged.

In effect, the organization is an in
ternational trust in copper. The organlz-
alton will protect the price both in Eu-
rope and America, and give to the com
pany power to distribute the output intel
ligently and economically to the markets
where it is most in demand. 1t was the
latter consideration which brought into
the combination some of the interests that
were previously antagonistic. The Roths-
childs furnished the funds and made the
stiprlations for the European interests in
volved, while the Standard Oil Company
was credited with acting in the same ca
pacity for the American side. The Roths-
child interest had its main leverage in its
holdings ON the Isle Royal, in Lake Super
Tor, known as the Wendigo Copper Com
pany, the stock of which concern is not
listed on any American exchange, and the
