FREEZING AND STARVING.
Negro Miners Who Were Run Out Of
Virden, ILL.,, in Destitute Condition.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 6.-The negroes whose
importation from Alabama caused the fight
at Virden, H., a few months ago, in which
several miners were killed, are freezing and
starving in a graders camp on the Mobile
& Ohio Railroad near Cakokia. Their con-
dition is so desperate that at a melting of the
St. Clair County Board Of Supervisors Su-
pervisor c. w. Droit, of Cahokia, asked
that relief be extended by the county. I'm
accustomed as they are to cold weather and
be pitiable. The work of grading is fin
ished and there seems nothing for the I'M
fortunate negroes TO do but get back to the
South the best WaY they can.

for Two Months.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 6.-Advices from
the Orient state that a Canadian woman,
who joined the China mission as the wife of
Rev. Rynhart, a Belgian missionary, has
just reached Chachilu with a terrible story
of cruelty and suffering among the fierce
mountain tribesmen of Thibet. Her husband
was brutality murdered after their son had
died from exhaustion. She was chased like
a hunted deer for two months through the
mountains on the border of China and
Thibet. She was shot at time n again and
pelted with powders from the cliffs over
head, but finally succeeded in reaching a
mission. She and her husband were attacked
while attempting to cross into Thibet.

CHICAGO. Feb. Negotiations are in
progress in this city for the formation of a
candy trust composed of about forty of the
leading manufacturers of staple CONNECTIONS
in the United States. While the projected
corporation is yet in an embryonic state, its
ultimate formation is considered a GER

within the last few days by representatives
of Chicago and New York sy~ndicates both of
of the candy interests. The fact tina more
than one party is seeking to effect the con-
solidatiOn makes it possible that consider
able delay may ensue before final orange

SMALLPOX PATIENT AT LARGE.
James Simins, Colored. WIN was improving
Escaped from County Pssthouse.

James Simtus, Colored, who was Improving
Escaped from County Pssthouse.
Jas. Simms, the colored man from Vir-
ginia, who was sent to the county hos
pital pesthouse ON June Goth, suffering
with smallpox, escaped from that place
last Friday and his present whereabouts
are unknown. Simms had improved
greatly in health and had developed a
ravenous appetite. He felt SO well and
strong that he wanted to leave. 1t was
thought wise by DIR. Frank Springer,
however, that he should remain while
longer, and it was intended to keep
him there until the latter part of this
week.
But Simms was SO anxious to get
away that on Friday, while his at
tendant was on the front porch, the
patient slipped out the back way and
has not been seen since. The Della
ware railroad runs near the pesthouse
and he was able to get out Of sight in
a short time. 1t seems plausible that
he may have followed the railroad, but
whether towards this city or down the
road is not known. 1t is said that
Simms escaped ut the worst time
possible, that the disease is more
readily contracted at this stage than
when ne was first found.
Superintendent Mccoy of tho county
almshouse notified the Wilmington
police Of Simms' escape, but they have
secured no clue to the missing man.
Executive officers of the Health De-
partment have been looking for him
without SUCCESS.

Driven to despair to find a pretoxt
for the unsatisfactory condition of the
war in the Philippines, due to the
determined resistance of the patriotic
Filipinos who are fighting desperately
for liberty and Independence, the
Philadelphia Times says; "They the
Filipinosl have doubtless been greatly
inspired by utterances from men Of
prominence at home which are little
less than reasonable. The fact that
the insurgents are thus inspired must
be fully appreciated by the government,
and the additional troops needed To
counteract the fire in the rear from
home upon our brave army, should be
promptly furnished"
This " fire in the roar from home. -
to which tho Times alludes, includes
the honest statements Of real facts
which honest newspapers that are
opposed to this causeless and cruel
war upon people who have been
lighting for three centuries for liberty
and independence, make in their
columns from time to time.
But even the organs of imperialism
cannot help giving expression to the
truth of the situation occasionally,
and in the very editorial of the Times
from which the above fire in the
rear" extract is quoted we find the
following.
| The plain truth of the military
situation in Luzon is that the Fill.
pinos have fought us 10 a standstill
and yet never won a victory. Nearly
every battle fought, except that for the
possession of Manila itself, must be
fought over again; and instead OF
holding nearly every important roint
in that island after having planted the
flag upon it, the insurgents are now in
force within few miles of Manila,
and must be met in battle and de.
feated again before their prestige car
be broken.
This is an absolutely truthful
picture, but when the same things are
said by papers that oppose the course
of the administration, the imrerialist
organs denounce these honest rapers
as traitors and their utterances al
treason.
But occasionally, as shown above
the imperialistic organs turn traitor;
themselyes--if it be traitorous to tel
the truth. =

Eoeneml.. of tho ro.,emer.

Some idea Of the magnitude Of the
postoflice business, says Washington
special, is furnished by the division Of
postoiiice supplies in this city. More
than thirty different forms of printed
letters are in use for answering such
questions and making such requests as
must be dealt with by the hundred.
For example, a recently printed form,
sent out to all postmasters who receive
rubber bands, cautions them to exer-
else the strictest economy in their use.
1t is said at the supply Office that
rubber bands are now costing the de-
partment ~ per cent more than they
cost year ago. and hence the need of
caution to keep within the approrria-
tions. Another printed blank enioins
economy in use of Irvine, calling atten-
tion to the fact that the new Irvine has
greater tensile strength than that
formerly furnished, and so does not
require as many wraps on packages as
heretofore. Postmasters are instructed
to return when empty all burlaps sent
out with this Irvine, and sharp watch
is kept to see that this direction is
complied with. A card enioins patience
in waiting for supplies which have been
ordered.
The saving in typewriter operatives
by the use of these printed forms is
enormous. and they are printed so as
to resemble the work of the typewriters
used upon them to fill in the names and
addresses. In this way the letters arc
probably quite as effective as il specially
written for each occasion. The supply
division supplies third and fourth class
postmasters with blanks, scales up to
four pounds, books, pens and ink, and
post marking and cancelling apparatus,
and first and second. class postoifices it
furnishes with all the stationery, Irvine,
printing and binding, blank books,
scales of all kinds, and whatever else
in the way of supplies may be necessary.
The division, therefore, deals directly
with about $4,000 postoffices, besides
the railway mail service and the Post
office Department itself. The mail
matter received and shipped from the
division every day averages twelve tons,
and about $500,000 is expended on it
per annum. To the credit of this
branch of the service it may be said
that while the increase within the last
two years in the use of postal supplies
has been about 80 per cent, and there
has been besides some rise in the price
OF supplies, no increase has been made
in the appropriation. Within tho last
two years great reforms have been made
in its work, and these have offset the
expanding needs of the service.
A few years ago complaints were rife
as to the imperfect Eostmarking on
letters. This evil had been so allowed
to grow by neglect that it was found
upon investigation that GO per cent of
all the postmarking was illegible.
An inquiry was made as to the kinds of
ink which would. make the most
legible postmark, and subdivision
was organized for dealing with the
postmasters. They were each required
to send in an impression of their post
marking stamp, and the department
then beagn to supply the offices with
inks and type better adapted to post
marking, so that all complaints have
now practically ceased.
