Spokane. Wash. May 7.-Mines OF

law may do so only on condition tna'
! they do not employ members OF the
: Coeur d'Alene Miners Union.
/ This is the martial law as laid down
by General Merriam and ATTORNEY
General Hayes of Idaho. At meet
/, ing of the mine owners in the Guy
this morning Mr.. Hayes presented this
mandate. The owners cheerfully PROM
ised to~obey.
I'VE are going to clean up the Occur
| d'AIenes,' said Attorney General
Hayes prior to his departure for Boise.
II have seen some of the mine OWL
ers to-day, and they have been INFORMED
by the proper authorities that tney
cannot employ anyone connected with
a criminal organization in the county.
The Miners Union in Shoshone county
contains many desperadoes and crlml-
nails who have, under the protection
of the union, perpetrated crimes ana

| as a result, they wire to the governor
of Idaho to send troops to protect their
property Some of these mine owners
know who the men were who left their
mines to go up to Wardner for the
purpose of blowing up the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine
| "They allowed the men to go out of
the mines to destroy the property of
another and then to return to work.
I'VE have undertaken as large a job

task of enormous magnitude. We pro-
pose to push the prosecution vigorous

ness, but will be back in about week.
and expect to spend the entire sum
mer in the Occur d'Alenes. Prisoners
will be tried in both the state and Fed
eral courts. Murder and arson are
some of the charges the state will
| bring against these men and we hope
to inflict the extreme penalties. The
state and federal authorities are work
ing amicably together in the matter
and will aid each other as much as
possible. Something was done in this
strike that was never done before in

single company was sent into dis
trict to cope with 1000 rioters"

We have a large number OF heroes
in stock just now, and all of them are
distinctly human. Pictured by imagin-
ative writer's, some earlier masters OF
achievement seem more than human.
1t is quite refreshing, therefore, to get
a very prosiac view of Lord Nelson as
he is presented in recent reminis-
cences. He stands on the deck of the
Victory, with pieces of brown paper,
soaked in vinegar, tied on his silk
stockinged legs, red tape being used
to hold in place the soothing applica-
tions. The pain of mosquito-bites had
been too much for the hero. The
demigod is hardly apparent here.

An Anti-Alcohol Congress was held
in Paris last week. The chief coun-
tries of the world were represented by
800 delegates. 1t is said that France
of all the European nations, suffers
most from the evils of intemperance,
which has made terrible progress dur
ing the last twenty years. In portions
of northern France the population is
disappearing as rapidly as did the
North American Indians before fire
water" In Normandy the women
drink more than the men, and the
mortality among children is excessive
in consequence. 1t Is estimated that
each inhabitant drinks yearly fifteen
quarts of alcohol, which is claimed

New York, Dec. 2S.-At the

a committee of five, of which Alexander
L. Orr is chairman, has undertaken TO
prepare and submit to creditors plan
of reorganization. Preliminary to this
task the committee has prepared a
statement of facts. in which it is set up
that the total liabilities of Harper &
Brothers are s., 1893. 900. The secured in

The committee regards the above es-
innate of value of assets. and con-

$3.50, 500
These figures mean that creditors,
the banks only excepted, can never

there is SS3S.946 due to banks, and that
the amount is secured to the loaners by
stocks and bonds valued at 1851, Al. The
result Will be that every dollar of the
securities, though there is a surplus
of s27, 513, will be wiped out in settling
the accounts due to banks
There is $685., 1854 due depositors and
customers There is s66.021 left to pay
this amount. which makes the losses to
be sustained by individual customers

San Francisco. Dec 2S.-The trans
port Centennial, which has reached
. here from Honolulu confirms the re-
port that bubonic plague exists in that
city. There had been no new cases of
the disease, however, from Dec II up
to the time the transport sailed, the
18th. The quarantine at the port was
to be raised on the 18th.
There was little anxiety among the
residents of Honolulu, according to
Captain Eagles of the Centennial, as
the plague was confined to the Chi
nese quarter of the city. That pert
of the city was under strict quarantine
and no ingress or egress whatever was
allowed Up TO the time of the sailing
. of the Centennial there had been six
deaths.
The Centennial arrived at Honolulu
from this port with horses on
the 18th of December, but was
not allowed to dock until the 10th. Even
then none of the crew was permitted to
land. All interisland traffic was
at a full stop, as no steamer could en-
ter the port. The citizens have sub
scribed $4,000 to fight the plague.
Precautions in California.
The news of the breaking out of the
plague in Honolulu has created some
alarm among the state and city health
officials here, and every precaution is
being taken to prevent a possible adj
mission of the disease into this city.
The transports Centennial and New
port, which arrived last night, and the
Tartar, which arrived from Manila to-
day, are now at the quarantine station
undergoing fumigation, and will be de-
tanned at Angel island for some time.
The steamer Gaelic is due here tomor-
rom from the Orient, via Honolulu, and
will be subject to quarantine and held
there until all danger is passed
News from reliable sources from the
Orient states that the disease is prev
alent in China and Japan to an unusual
extent, and the officers at Manila have
taken precautions to prevent the
plague from getting a foothold there.
News from Bombay is to the effect
that the plague is rampant in India,
and in view of these conditions, the
authorities in this city and at every
port on the Pacific coast will take
strenuous precautions to prevent the
introduction of the bubonic plague on
this coast.

THE NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Little Credence Is Given the Rumo1
In Official Circles.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-Nothing is
known here of the reported intention of
Great Britain and Germany to parti-
ton Portuguese East Africa between
them, Great Britain taking the country
around Delagoa bay and southwark,
and Germany the northern half of the
territory which adjoins the German
East African possessions.
The officials here attach no credence
to the story because, as they point out,
movement of this kind, disturbing
the balance of power in Africa, would
lead almost certainly to serious COM
plications between the principals and
the other powers of Europe. Moreover,
the old rumor of a secret treaty be-
tween England and Portugal whereby
the former might, for a proper consid-
Grafton, possess itself of Delagoa bay
whenever the place is needed for mill
tary purposes. has always been cred
tied to some extent here, and if such
treaty really exists there would be no
need for Germany's participation as re-
ported.

DECLARED TO BE FICTION.
Strong Denial Given the Story in Ger
man Official Circles.

Berlin. Dec. 2S.-Regarding the state
ment by the Lokal Anzeiger that a Sc
cret Anglo Portuguese treaty
exists for the division of the Portu-
guese colonies in South Africa, the cor
respondent of the Associated Press is
able to assert on the highest author
ity that the story is a pure fiction The
high official who authorizes this denial
made the following declaration:
There is no-objection to stating that
the understanding had by Great Brit
ain, Germany and Portugal refers only
to Africa, and leaves Asia wholly out
of the account. 1t is quite certain, how
ever, that Germany, under no consid-
GRAFTON, would conclude to such a bar
gain with Portugal as the Lokal An
zeiger sets forth. Anyone with the
slightest political sense ought to see
that these tiny enclaves in the midst
of the Birth India are the last colo
NAL possessions Germany would
dream Of"

How the French Authorities Regard
the Sensational Story.

Paris, Dec. 2S.-The publication by
the Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin of the
secret treaty between Germany, Por-
tugal and Great Britain, providing for
the partition of the Portuguese colonies,
meets with no credence in officials cira
cles here. A foreign Office official said
to a representative of the Associated
Press that their advices from Portugal
and Germany left no doubt that the
publication was largely invention. They
could not believe Portugal would sign
treaty stripping herself of her colo
MES. and so far-reaching and harmful
to Portugal"
Notwithstanding the denial of the
French foreign office, it is believed in
other quarters that an agreement be-
tween Great Britain and Germany may
exist outside of the understanding ar
rived at between them this year as an
outcome of the negotiations to build a
telegraph line connecting Cape Town
with Cairo.
