Opposition to the Boston a. Albany
Lease.

The protest against the lease of the Bos-
ton & Albany to the New York Central is
taking definite form, and a lively time is
promised at the coming meeting of stock
holders. The opponents of the lease al
ready have about 10000 shares and as it
will require two-thirds vote to ratify the
lease the success of the directors plan is
not very promising. One of the strongest
points in the statement of the protective
committee is the assertion that the road,
after being used by the lease for its profit
for time, may be given back to the owners
in a greatly impaired condition, or lacking
the improvements which are now keeping
it up to the highest standard of excellence
and efficiency. If the New York Central
should ever become insolvent this is what
might easily happen.

panv and bondholders. Vino. Roberts of

HOlyOke Man Tells a story of Terrible
Suffering I'm the Search for Gold In
Alaska.
Nelson Croteau returned to Holyoke Fri
day from Anvil City, Alaska. Croteau
brought definite news of the deaths of the fol-
lowing Klondikers, who left the East in the
spring of 1898 on prospecting tour; Louis
Ricard, South Hadley Falls; Louis Carr,
Troy, N. Y. Jack Burke, supposed to be-
long in Northampton; DIR. Brigham of Rut-
land Peter Gretous, Fitchburg; Joseph
Fontaine, Adolph Menard and Peter Pei
lier, Holyoke.
Carr and Burke lost their way near An
vii City and were frozen to death. Both
men went out last April to look after
claims, report being current that squat
ters had taken possession of them. The
bodies were found in the snow.
Dr. Brigham died of consumption in Gal
Ivan bay last fall. The others were at
tackled by scurvy Ricard dying Feb 20,
Fontaine April Is, Pellier March 26, Gre
tous April 8 and Menard the last of April.
Croteau tells narrowing tale of hardship
and privation. He was attacked by scurvy
and was forced to leave his claim. He
brought back enough gold dust to pay his
expenses. The post-oflice accommodations
are such at St. Micbaels that Croteau only
received one letter in the year he was
there, and then only by paying the post
master fee of 50. Stephen Dupree of AL
denville accompanied Croteau from st. Mi
chaels. He is still afflicted with scurvy.

81. Miners Itnled by an E1pIosion.

An explosion of gas and fire damp occur
red Monday in the mine of the Redstone
company five miles from Brownsville, Pa,
in which 40 men were at work. -Four men
were taken from the mine, two dead and
two injured. All but two of the remaining
men in the pit when the explosion occurred
escaped. All were Hungarians, whose
names had not been obtained. The injured
were sent to the hospital at Connellsville.
They were slightly burned. The two men
still in the mine are supposed to be dead.
The explosion occurred just as the miners
were entering the pit by way of the shaft,
which is 240 feet deep. Those who were
in the mine, except the six killed and in
jured, escaped by way of two other exits.
There was great excitement when the ex-
plosion occurred, and large crowd of
women and children quickly collected about
the pit mouth waiting for those in the mine
who might be dead. 1t was several hours
before the extent of the disaster was known,
as the miners who escaped had to walk sew
eral miles to return to the pit mouth. The
explosion was caused by a fall in entry 10,
which drove an accumulation of gas into
another entry where it was ignited by
digger's open lamp.

well" said the red faced man. "the most exciting chase I ever had hap pened a few days ago in Russia One night, when sleighing about ten miles from my destination, I discovered 10 my intense horror that was being fol- lowed by a pack of wolves I fired blindly into the pack, killing one of the brutes, and, to my delight, saw the others stop to devour it.
 After doing this, however. they still came on. I kept on repeating the dose, with the same result, and each occa- sion gave me an opportunity to whip up my horses. Finally. there was only one wolf left, yet on it came, with its fierce eyes glaring in anticipation of a good, hot supper
 Here the man who had been sitting in the corner burst forth into 8 fit of laughter.
 Why, man. said he, "by your way of reckoning, that last wolf must have had the rest of the pack inside him."

 DEATH. been present in Wash
 ington. His death makes it incumbent upon the gov ernor to appoint a senator to fill the vacancy until the Nebraska legislature, which will meet a year hence, shall choose his successor at the same time that a successor to Senator Thurston is chosen.
 There is a pretty fight now on in Ne braska over the senatorial succession. Gov. Poynter, who is a populist, is be- ing importuned to appoint ex-Senator Allen, now a district judge in the state. The democratic wing of Nebraska, who have been holding the bag" as they claim, are insisting that Editor Hitch cock of Omaha shall receive the honor and the salary. Incidentally, the gover- nor feels that he would make excellent senatorial timber himself and is said to be willing to resign in favor of the lieutenant governor if that official will agree to appoint ex-Governor Poynter to the senate.

The negro has been q child long enough, not held responsible for many childish acts. though cruelty pun ished for crimes that the mixture of
Arizona republican., 1899-12-06

mature passions with childish lack of self-control exposed him to.
 Instead of emigrating, of further disassociating himself from his present surroundings, the negro should feel and thus make his white neighbor feel that he has the welfare of the com munity as much at heart as any one. In Cuba, says Mir. Washington, the negro has thus associated himself with his country's welfare, and there the negro question is settling itself.
 It will be interesting to see if, with the fairer start negroes have in Cuba and with the wise restrictions put upon the ballot, the negro question will, in- deed, thus settle itself. If it does. it will be Q most hopeful augury of the ultimate settlement of the question in our own southern states. It will be a strong argument for the establishment of more of the manual training schools for negroes which have already done so much good.
 MT. Washington shows his wisdom most signally by addressing himself primarily to his own race, not to the white man. Wealth brings a sense of responsibility only when hard earned, and the regeneration of the race must come from within. This impulse from within starts under fairer conditions in Cuba, where there is less antipathy between the Latin whites and the blacks, than with us, whether from a smaller distance separating the men talities of the two races or from the less sympathetic nature of the Anglo Saxon toward an inferior race.

The vast increase in the quantity of iron and steel exports during the last ten months gives a far clearer idea of the gain in these exports than a mere statement of their value. Prices of iron and steel products have made such an advance of late that increase in the value of exports might have oc- cured in the face of a decline in quan- tity. Treasury statistics show, how ever, that in spite of higher prices the quantity of these exports has greatly increased, in some instances nearly doubled, over the corresponding period last year. This indicates how solid and permanent is the footing these Ameri- can products have obtained abroad.
