RECIPROCITY TREATY.
Bermuda Reciprocity Commission
Arrives in Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The Ber-
muda reciprocity commission has ar
rived here to open negotiations for a
reciprocity treaty. Accompanied by Mr..
Tower, the British Charge, who will
represent the home Government in the
negotiations, the members of the COM
mission called at the State Department
and met Secretary Hay sx1d Commits
sioner Kasson. The conferences on
reciprocity schedules will not begin un-
til next week. The reciprocity treaty
for British Guiana has been completed
and copies of the final draft have been
forwarded to London and Guiana for
approval. This was step of precau-
ton, although no doubt is felt as to
the approval When received the treaty
will be signed by Mr. Kasson and Mr..
Tower representing the two Govern
ments
The details of the Guiana treaty. like
these OF the Barbados. are withheld
from publication until the treaties are

The Jamaican commission was to
have held conference at the State De-
partment to-day to continue their
treaty negotiations. The matter went
over, however, owing to the attention
which is being given to the reciprocity
lists presented by the French authori-
ties. Although the French negotiations
are proceeding satisfactorily, it is
hardly expected that treaty can be
signed before the middle of next month.

FIRST BLooDsHED.
Co1ored Miners Fired on When
They Arrived at Evansville.

EVANSVILLE Qnd.), June 21.-The
first bloodshed of the coal miners strike
that has been in progress here for two
months occurred shortly after midnight.
About thirty colored miners from
Maddsonville, KY, came in over the
Louisville and Nashville and were met
at the station by James H. Moore,
bookkeeper and a stockholder in the
Sunny Side Company, with a wagon
cite driven by Edward Geiger, son of
the proprietor of a furniture store.
While the vehicle was passing a va
can't lot, parties on sides of the road
fired in the dark upon the wagonette.
The driver, whipping up his horses,
hurried to the mine Patrolman Rus
ton was attracted by the shooting and
was fired upon when he came up. A
shot struck his helmet, but he was not
injured.
Five men were found wounded. They
were: James Moore, serious: Charles
Smith, negro miner, critical; John
Philips, severe, but will recover: Ed
Geiger, driver, ear shot off: Henry
Smith, negro, slight; John Norswea ther,
negro, slight.
The Sunny Side mine remains closed
to-day and the imported men are in
hiding.
Fred Lacher, the National Commit
teeman of the U. NJ. w. A, and State
Secretary, denies all knowledge of the
shooting.
All is quiet to-day.
Governor Mount will probably be
asked to prevent the Importation of

MILL1oNs ron DEFENSE.
Secretary Of the War Ohlce Ask
Them From the Commons.


LONDON, June 21.-when the
House of Commons went into commit
tee on the military works loan bill to-
day, the Parliamentary Secretary OF
the War Office, Mr.. Wyndham, moved
resolution authorizing the introduc-
tions of a. bill providing for loan OF
"a, ,000DGQ, repayable in yearly install
ments, for defense works, barracks and
rifle ranges at home and abroad. He
explained that this was merely a con-
tinuation of ,the policy laid down by
the military works loan account of
1897, and pointed out that all British
sea borne commerce converged at a
point between Cape Clear and Ushant,
necessitating strategic harbors of ref
uge, all of which must be defended by
heavy guns. On these and other works
it was proposed to spend t1,OOO,OOO,
and on barracks the sum of t2,170,O3O
The balance would be devoted to the ex-
penses of new situations and Wei-Hai-
Wei would absorb f15O,C0O.
After other members had criticised
or supported Mr.. Wyndham's resolu-
ton, Michael Davitt, Irish Nationalist
opposed it, saying he objected espec-
tally to the expenditures at Halifax
Burmah and Jamaica, as being alto
gether unnecessary, because at present
the Governments of Great Britain anc
the United States are engaged in di-
plomatic love messages, yet these pro-
posed guns were pointed at their Anglo
Saxon cousins.
Continuing, Mr.. Davitt said if the
Government was sincere in it's profess
sions of love and friendship, it was
acting perfidiously and insincere in
making these Notifications on the At
lantic Coast
The resolution was adopted by vote
of 241 to 66.

MRS. RICH's CASE.
Mexican Government Designates q
Commissioners to Present It.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The Mex
lean Government has designated a
Commissioner to present the extradi-
tion case against Mrs. Rich, now held
in Texas on the charge of having killed
her husband in Mexico. The American
officials are loath to surrender MS
Rich until the case against her is well
established, as her extradition would
mean foreign trial and punishment
On the other hand, the Mexican au-
thorities hold that the crime will go
unpunished unless the accused is sur
rendered to Mexico, as the American
courts have no jurisdiction over d
crime committed abroad. The Mexi-
can authorities have been allowed un-
III the 9th inst. to make out .::eir
case before the court at Ell Paso, where
The accused is held. The papers were
to be forwarded here for final consider
alton. Under the treaty the President
has discretion to grant the extradition
or refuse it without referring to the

THE NEW GAME LAWS.

This law had to be passed because the farmers allowed anybody to snare on theirslands. Under the new law the farmer will see that the law is enforced and the game preserved on his farm. There will be ten times as much money in It for him by charging the hunter for shooting on his farm, if he has any birds to shoot, than there was before under the old law. When people who have never owned foot of land snared promiscuous- ly on great many farms the birds were exterminated, and it will take years to restore them. The farmer has said in some cases that the hunting was the cause of the great scarcity of partridge. Can any man explain how it Is that the quail increase in spite of the hunting ana great snow storms that almost ex- terminate them some winters This one argument covers the whole case. Stop snaring the partridge and there will al- ways be plenty of birds. The quail can- not be snared, and in spite of hard win- ters and hunters they increase, while the partridge decrease. Let every man who loves to hunt see to 1t that the laws are enforced, and let every farmer who wants to make dollar out of the game he has on his farm enforce the game law. One covey of partridge will be worth $1O to him under the new law, while under the old law they were worthless, for not one farmer in twenty did any snaring; neith- CT is there one hunter in twenty that could shoot covey of partridge in a season. There will always be enough left for seed. for there are plenty of places for the birds to go where the hunter cannot shoot them, but the snarer can reap a harvest. These are facts.

Pilinx Wood While Governor,

"Uncle Dick" Oglesby was honest himself. and he believed in making oth. CT people be so, just so far as it lay within his power. The principle of the thing appealed to him, and false rule he despised. In 1865, when he was gov ernor foffthe first time, he ordered 10 cords of hrewood from a farmer, who was to cord the wood up in the govern or's yard The governor watched until three cords had been piled. Then he could stand 1t no longer. and. walking up to the farmer, he said:
 "You are piling that wood too loose ly. By the time you get it piled you Il be giving me eight cords for 10. Now. mind you, won't pay for it.
 The farmer, evidently disgusted at being told how to do his own work, an- swered that he guessed he knew how to cord wood as we'll as anybody, and chal- lenged the governor to do it better if he could. That 'sUncle Dick" would take him at his word evidently never occur red to~him, but it wasn't the first time the good old gentleman. had corded wood. and,a governor or no governor, out he went. When the farmer had brought the wood all in "Uncle Dick" corded every stick of it over again and got it into eight cords, Then he made the farmer bring in two cords more. - Chicago Chronicle.

Tne Conscience Fund.

'sGod knows the donor and his sin, D was the line accompanying a ncte ad- dressed to the treasurer of the United States at Washington and containing three crisp $1, 900 bills. The money was turned into the "conscience fund"
 It is not generally known that such 8 fund exists; yet, although it is not very important, it is a regular source for the government. It is supplied by a certain class of people abnormally hon. est. A man whose ideas of the niceties of conscience amount to insanity de- cides that in some manner or other he has defrauded Uncle Sam. He imme- diately incloses the amount in an envel- ope and sends it to the treasury. The excuses given and the manners of sign ing are humorous in the extreme. Yet it is evident that the contributors are in sober earnest.
 It has been calculated that if this disease should become epidemic the amount on hand in the treasury would exceed the output by some $2, 900, 900, 900 per annum. A man who will do the government full and exact justice is SC exceedingly scarce that the above mem bers of the conscience fund are looked upon ss little less than lunatics. Gin cinnati Enquirer.
