which for artistic charm, ethnolog-

has no peer. This little town of
Ancoma is one of the most perfect
types of the Prehistoric Puebla
architecture. Most OF the houses
remain Of the type invented when
every house must be fort. One
climbed ladder to has FIRST roof,
a nd pulled up the ladder at night
living on the second and third
floors and using the first floor as
a cellar. Against enemies armed
only with bows and arrows was a
fair defense. Comfort had to be

With inconceivable labor this ISL

fortified. It was reached only by
a mere trail OF toe holes up the

LOST IN THE GREAT CLOSED
LAND.-It is strange that in these
days OF exploration that there
should still be a land which has
never been penetrated by a white
man. LhasSa, the capital OF Tibet,
is one city on the face OF the earth
which no STRANGER can enter. lhiS
land of mystery, whose locked
gates so many brave men have
tried to open, is fourteen times as
big as England. and is three miles
above the level OF the sea. Its
population is about as large as the
population of London. Only one
Englishman has ever been in the
sacred city-Thomas Manning
who reached it in 1871. He was
soon sent back again, however,
and since that time travellers and
missionaries have risked their lives
in attempts to solve the riddle OF
the unknown land. Mrs. Lucle
Riinhart, the American wife Of a
Dutch missionary in China has
reached the farthest point in Tibet
ever trodden by a stranger, but
she has paid dearly for her courage.
It was Mrs. Rijnhart, who, with
her husband, assisted Captain
Welby and Lieutenant Malcolm,
two English officers, in their recent
Journey across Tibet, and since
then the missionary and his wife,
with their little boy hardly more
than a year old, resolved to do
what in them lay to carry the goS"
pei into the heart of this strange
country. To-day Lucie RJnhart
is back to her home in little viii
laPe on the borders OF Manitoba
her little boy lies in lonely grave
in wild Tibet, and her husband
she has lost forever in this world,
unless a miracle brings him home
again. For months they travelled
singing hymns and distributing
Bibles, as they rode along the
mountain streams. Then their
horses were shot, their men LETT
them, and they were helpless and
alone. "On the day before yester-
day." writes the brave wife, my
husband swan across the river to

child snatched from her, her hus-
band dead or worse than dead in the

band is suffering must be difficult
to describe. The Tibetans are

STARTLING NEWS.
Said That Consul Os-
borne Sides With
Germans.
.RUMOR DISBELIEVED
Joint High Commission
Will Reach It's Destina-
ton Wednesday.

Washington, May 6.-No further ad-
vices have reached the state depart
ment from Samoa, and it is believed
that none will now be had until the
eastern mail arrives, in about five
days time. The commission is due at
Apia Wednesday, and the departments
information is that there is no danger
of further outbreaks meanwhile. There
is nothing in the reports to the depart
ment tending to sustain the statement
that United States Consul Osborne has
antagonized the British and Americans
in Apia by openly adhering to the
German position.
Respecting the reported refusal of
the consul to pay the salary Of King
Tanu, although nothing is known of
the details, the disposition is to approve
of his action in that matter. 1t is not
known here officially that Mr.. Osborne
is acting in any such capacity as presi-
dent of the municipal council, but in
view of the withdrawal of the German
official, DIR. Rafael, who occupied that
position until recently, it is not i'm
probable that the duties of the place
may have devolved upon the American
consul
In view of the questionable legality
of the provisional government, it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Osborn would scarcely
be justified in assuming the risk of
making payments upon the salary of
the king, whose title is called into
question.
The Moano, from Apia, April IL,
brings the news that the German
cruiser Cormoran, while on her way
from China to Samoa, went on a reef
in the Bismarck archipelago.
Six days she hung on to the ledge
between Kaiser Wilhelm land and New
Ireland and she was only got off after
her guns had been move aft. She
| finally reached Brisbane and was to &C
to Sydney, n. S. w, for repairs.

HUNDREDS DENIED.
Seek Work
And Are Flatly
Refused.
IN A SAD PLIGHT.
Ominous Murmurings Con-
demnatory of the Boy
colt That Exists.

Marlboro, May 6-Hundreds Of striR-
ers applied at the factories today for
work. In nearly every instance they
were informed that there were no
places for them, and disheartenedi
turned away.
The first intelligence that the general
public received that the strikers had
given up the fight, as far as this city
is concerned, was from The Spy's big
head lines. No other paper gave such
a complete account of this big piece Of
news Many papers coming into Marl-
boro limited that the fight was ended.
The labor leaders say the strike is
still on and the only change in the
situation is that the strikers are al
lowed to go into the factories without
the word scab following them.
Many of the strikers think it is de-
the goods turned out by the Marlboro
manufacturers. They say it is a case
of cutting off the nose to spite
the face, If the boycott is kept on
and works successfully.
Many, however, DelleVe the boycott
will do no damage. Be that as it may,
the boycott is still on, although the
strike is off from a local standpoint at
least.
Although the strikers are defeated,
the unions are still in existence, but Of
course are in a very shattered condi-
ton. Two of the leaders Of the strike
are in town.
p. j. Byrne and b. p. Dorsey are sta
toned at labor headquarters, William
Laverty is at New York, and John j.
Dalton has been in town until within
a day or two.
John II. Murray Is at Syracuse, but
has been informed of the situation, and
will come home at once
The Spy foreshadowed the strike in
it's issue Of Sunday, Nov 10, 1898, and
stated emphatically, that it would be
ordered early in the week, and Tues
gay, Nov Is, printed the report of the
strike which was ordered Monday, Nov.
IA. at noon.
Again, The Spy is in on the ground
floor. and tells its readers prompt
ly what other papers simply
limited at. that the strikers were
defeated. and were seeking work. To-
days occurrences bore out straight
from the shoulder the declaration Of the
facts in the case.

GERMANY Fooled AGAIN.
England Steps in and Prevents Her Anneaing
Tonga Isles.

San Francisco. May GA letter from
Tonga, Friendly Islands, dated April
Il, says that treaty has been entered
into between Great Britain and the ISL
ands. Last December the German vice
consul at Samoa. made a demand on
this government for 925,oOO, the claims
being for debts contracted by the Tom
gans to German traders.
Some of the accounts are thirty years
old After consideration the govern
ment repudiated these claims. The
consul notified the premier that unless
the full amount was paid Germany
would send a large war vessel to seiz9
Vavau which contains a splendid har-
Dor.
On March T. the British warship Tau
ranga arrived and her captain held an
interview with King George Thou II.
1t is said that the king was notified
that Great Britain considered Ger
many's claim just, but did not pro-
pose to let her take Vavau or any other
part Of this group, SO offered to pay
the claims and protect the little islands
that Germany is so eager to acquire. 1t
is not the intention Of the British at
this time to annex the islands, compris-
ing the Vayau, Haapi and Tonga
groups.

Mr. Refs would not discuss the ru-
mored consolidation of the National
Steel Co. and the American Steel Hoop
Co, neither would he admit that he had
lust come fresh from conferences with
II. c. Frick. A. W. Mellon, and others,
in New York. Mr. Refs said that i'm
portant negotiations affecting the entire
iron and steel business Of the country
were going on When told of the
statement issued by Mr.. Frick, Mr.. Refs
said that it was much nearer the truth
than any Of the reports that had yet
come out.

Tor no such settlement of this strike
because of the firmness of both mould
ers and the foundry owners.
AT Peros foundry, I found the pro-
prietor stripped to his shirt, Carrying
his iron pot like a veteran, and doing

that the founders are determined nos
to yield. l told the members of the
moulders' executive committee that
there was no possibility of a settlement
by the founders. The moulders were
confident that they would win, but to
me it seems hardly possible. 1 hope that
some agreement can be reached, but
the union is certainly very unpopular
with the foundry owners.
1.-THE one great barrier between the
adjustment of the problem is the union
card. Recognition of it is what founders
bitterly oppose. I can liken the situa-
ton to a great brick wall representing
the union. On either side of it are the
foundry owners and moulders. On top
stands the peacemaker calling below
to the two factions, and stretching out
his hands to lift them up, but in vain"

ARBITRATION FAILS.
Efforts to Settle Buffalo
Dock Strike Make
Matter Worse.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 6-The Lake Car
to settle the dispute between Contrac-
tor Connors and the grain shoveers.
The state board of mediation and ar
bitration will remain here to investi-
gate the grain shovelling business and
ascertain what truth there is to charges
made by the men concerning the al. uses
of the contract system. The board,
however, has lost hope Of ever being
able to bring the contractor and the
men together.
This hopeless situation was brought
about by the action Of the striking
Grain Shovelers' union in rejecting the
proposition submitted by joint COM
mittee of the state board of mediation
and arbitration, the Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION, the Elevator association, the
Merchants exchange and the United
Trades and Labor council, and agreed
to stand by Mr.. Connors, The PROPOSE
ton was the result of a conference
among the representatives of these or
CARNATIONS, Contractor Connors was
called before the conference committee
and requested to state what concessions
he would make to the men.
This afternoon the committee an
nounced that an agreement had been
| reached, but declined to give any M
| formation concerning its terms, until
after It had been submitted to the grain
shovellers. Tonight the proposition IN
| fore the grain shovelers. At thot
time 1000 of them had assembled
at their hall The proposition was car.
ried to the hall by representatives OF
the interests and was submitted first
to President Mcmahon of the New Grain
/ Shovellers' Union. The proposition was
to the effect that Mr.. Connors would
agree to abolish the saloon boss sys-
| TEN, that dummies would not be placed
on the pay roll that representative
citizen Of Buffalo would be appointed
with power to Investigate all COM
plants made by the men in the future,
and that the men should receive $lS5
per 1000 bushels, which was the scale
fixed last year.
President Mcmahon declared imme-
diately after reading the proposition,
that he rejected it, and would refuse TO
submit it to the men. The committee
of labor men urged him to permit the
men to vote on the proposition, but Nc
| Mahon refused. Instead, he walked to
| the front of the stage and said; "A
| fake proposition has been submitted to
us by the Lake Carriers association.
| AS it provides for continuance of the
contract system, 1 have rejected 1t in
your behalf"
The Grain Shovellers cheered the an
nouncement enthusiastically Presi-
dent Mcmahon then announced that the
men would have nothing more to do
with the Lake Carriers association, but
would fight the matter out on the docks.
1t was announced today that the
monthly men at the elevators and the
coal beavers on the coal docks would
go out on Monday. This will add nearly
1000 men to the ranks of the strikers
Rumors We're current tonight that Con-
tractor Corners had made arrange
ments to bring 1000 men to Buffalo
from New York to take the places OF
the strikers.
