advantage of this scheme is that q
sutficiency of good metal can be OBJ
tanned by melting up Mexican dollars,
and when stamped with the American
facings the new coins produce 100
per cent profit. Raids have resulted
in finding several basketfuls of bad
money in the rear of Chinamans

Tennessee Miners Strike.

Knoxville, Tenn, July 20.-A special
to the Sentinel from Coal Creek says
that J. W. Howe, organizer for the
United Mine Workers of America, has
ordered out all miners employed in
the Tennessee Coal companys mines
at Briceville. About 100 men are out.
The grievance of the mine workers
union, it is claimed, is that the super
intendent discharged twelve miners
because of their alleged affiliation with
the union. No trouble is feared, as
the men have attempted no destruction
of property and are orderly in their
strike.

London. July 20.-The war office has

erts:
Pretoria, July 17.-Yesterday the
enemy made determined attack on
the left of Pole-Carew's division and
along our left flank. The enemy made
repeated attempts to carry our posi-
ton by assault, coming up within close
range, and calling upon the fusileers
to surrender. The enemy lost fifteen
killed and fifty wounded, and four Of
their men were made prisoners. Our
casualties were Lieutenants Borden
Ind J. Birch, Canadians, killed, and
three other officers wounded; five men
killed, twenty-six wounded, and TWEEN
ty-one missing. Ian Hamilton's col
umn advanced yesterday to Waterfall
without meeting with any opposition.
Today, at Hamanskraal, he had one
killed and one wounded. Fifteen hum
dred men, with five guns, managed to
break through the Gordon formed by
Hunter and Rumble between Bethle-
hem and F1cksburg. They are making
for Lindley, and are being closely fol-
lowed by Paget's and Broadwoods
brigades."
Later on the war Office received the
following dispatch from Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, July 1.-THE two young
Canadians mentioned in yesterdays
telegram were killed while gallantly
leading the men in a counter attack
on the enemy's flank at critical juno
ture in their assault on our position.
Borden had been twice before brought

and intrepid conduct. The 1900 Beers
were about halfway between Bethle-

Washington, July 1S.-The govern
nent has taken note of the efforts
made in some quarters to stir up an
agitation against the peaceable Chi
nese in the United States. 1t feels it
IS imperatively necessary to use the
entire resources of the government
TO suppress any movement that would
ieopa their safety. Anything
like a massacre of Chinese in the
United States would wreck the whole
case of the United States government
in the settlement which must come
of this Chinese trouble. Our govern
ment could not demand PREPARATION or
indemnity from China for whatever
happens at Picking or elsewhere in
China if the Chinese government,
through the violence of our people,
were put in position to claim Il set
off growing out of violence shown its
people in the United States. There
fore steps have been taken already
to have the authorities in localities
where there may be danger of anti
Chinese outbreaks prepare for the
promptest and most stern repressive
measures at the first symptom of
trouble.
