WILL INFLUENCE MINES.
As Result of the Conclusion of China
 Mexican Treaty

Washington, December 27-Among the di- plomatic officials who have recently taken part in negotiating the China Mexican treaty of trade and immigration, it is ex pected that the instrument will have an important influence in the development of mines in Mexico.
 The country is rich in silver and copper, but it has been found difficult to secure miners who could withstand the hardships of life in the forests and mountains with such primitive surroundings. It is expect ed that the Chinese who take to this kind of work are readily found, and that they will develop the interior mines much, as they pushed the Pacific railroads from the Pacific coast across the Rockies.
 The new treaty leaves the coming of Chi nese to Mexico entirely without restriction and although there have been no restrfc- tions in the past, the free entry is now to be carried under the fostering care of the two governments. From the Chinese standpoint the arrangement is very desir able, since it gives a western outlet to the surplus Chinese population, which has been so much needed since the United States closed its doors against the Chinese. It Is said that immigration of Chinese to Mex ico can have no injurious effect on the United States, as the inspection along the Mexican and Canadian lines is so rigid that very few evade the exclusion laws.

AUSTIN'S NEW POEM
England's Poet Laureate Writes of
 Spartan Mothers

New York; December 27.-In this weeks edition of the Independent will appear a poem by Alfred Austin, poet laureate of England, on the war in the Transvaal, en- titled Spartan Mothers"
 The last two stanzas follow: 'The sisters sigh, the maiden's tear, The wife's, the widows stihed wail These nerve the hand, these brace the
 spear.
 And speed them over veldt and vale:
 What is to him
 Or life or limb. Who rends the chain, and breaks the rod Who falls for freedom, falls for God. And should it be his happy fate, Hale to return to home and rest, She will be standing at the gate To fold him to her trembling breast.
 Or should he fall
 By ridge or wall, And lie meath some green southern sod. Who dies fer country, sleeps with God"

4 Sable Winter

The constant demand for sables this win ter has increased the price of this class of furs greatly. The privations and dangers which attend the hunting of mustellidae, CT fur-bearing animals, make them reas- onably expensive and these difficulties are increased this year by scarcity of the animals.
 Of the many varieties of sable Hudson is probably the most used, its cost not being as great as that of Russian sable. This fur is very full and soft, with many long hairs interspersed and the touches of black which cloud it's redish-yellow color make it very rich in effect.
 Gowns for midwinter show very pretty

fighting on the outskirts Of Manila
last Saturday. Daniel Haley and Steve
a. Gilby were indicted with Peck at
the instance of Nathan styles. Haley
and Gilby sat at the defendants table
yesterday.
From the testimony of the prosecu-
tor it appeared that one night last
spring the three defendants and the
prosecutor, all of whom lived at Car
bondale, were drinking together. Af-
ter nightfall they were in a little pi.ce
of wood near Peck's home and they
were bringing beer to the scene of the
festivities in a can. styles did not fur
nish any money and when the coin OF
the other three men was exhausted,
Gilby, according to styles story, held
the prosecutors hands. Haley sat on
his feet and Peck went through his
clothes ard took what change he had
in his pockets.
The money was spent for liquor, and
Styles was given his proper share.
Upon this showing Judge Archibald
without waiting to hear any of the tes-
timony for the defense directed Il
verdict Of not guilty. What he
heard he said indicated that 1t was
a drunken frolic and that there was
nothing to sustain a charge of robbery.
Attorneys II. c. Butler and James
Mahon appeared for the defendants and
Assistant District Attorney Thomas for
the commonwealth.
