NORTHERN RACE PREJUDICE

The Chicago Times Herald,
which severely condemns the
violent manifestations towards
the Southern negro miners who
haYe gone to Illinois to work,
publishes some figures concerns
ing these outbreaks which are
interesting. It is shown that
within a year there have been
eight CO these conflicts, in which
a total of fifteen negroes aud
thirteen whites have been killed
and twenty-eight negroes and
thirty whites wounded, Pana,
Nlrden and Carterville, all in the
mining region, were the scenes
of the trouble, and all accounts
indicate that whites were the ag.
gressors from the outset.
In some quarters the effort has
been made to show that race
prejudice had nothing to do with
these fierce battles In Illinois,
and that it was a mere question
of conflict between union and
nonunion labor. But the cry of
"nigger scab" proves the cor
trary. The statement made by
John Mitchell, President of the
United Mime Workers, also res
flutes such argument. He says:
"The people of the county in
which Carterville is located do
not care much for the presence
of colored people, and at times
when there is no such thing as a
strike there were race riots in

I'LL PLANT THE EUCALYPTUS.
of Havana and the Whole
Island of Cuba.

Havana, Aug. 2s.-Owing TO frequent
recommendations to Gov. Brooke of
the eucalyptus tree as an anti-ma-
larial agent. some Investigations have
been carried on under his orders At
tention has been called to the success
obtained in cultivating the tree in the
vast Campagna di Roma. Italy, where
ccalyptus is now recognized as rem.
dering the whole territory much less
unhealthful.
The City of Mexico is cited as an
other instance, where the Nigo canal.
the floating gardens and other malarial
districts are now well stocked with
young trees with the result that places
which were once marshy and unhealth-
full have been rendered dry and in
nCcuous.
One recommendation says that the
British station in Jamaica, which was
formerly malarial. has been planted
with eucalyptus, the outcome already
being a steady disappearance OF
marshy spots. The tree. which alb
serbs the moisture, grows very rapid
ly, often ten feet in a year. The wood
is valuable, and honey bees seek the
flowers. The honey. it is said. con-
tains important medicinal properties.
The tree department at Santiago de
Cuba, not knowing the Investigations
progress under Gen. Brooke's direc,
tion, recently made a request for sew
eral thousands of eucalyptus slips, th'
requisition being strongly indorsed by
Gen. Leonard Wood.
The officials in charge of the yellow
fever hospital planted several slips
some months ago and they are now
thriving. 1t is believed that great
good will result from the investiga-
tions. Several years ago experiments
with the eucalyptus tree were tried
here, the result being satisfactory foI
the first four years, after which, it IS
said. the trees died. but the consensus
of opinion among the medical author
tiles is favorable to a repetition of the
experiment. which Gen. Brooke will
probably attempt at an early date on u
large scale.

than any mining concern in the world

and is exploring at nearly as many
more which it has either under option
to buy or has already bought. Its
output this year will be very close to

figure a little. It's daily payroll is
about $1,000. All its output except
