"THE FAMINE QUEEN"
Charged With Placing Explosives.
in Criticism of Her Majesty.

NEW YORK, April ACCORDING to the
Dublin correspondent of the World, the
copy of the United Irishman which was
seized contained the following extracts
from an article by Maud Come, entitled,
THE Famine Queen"
IN truth, for Victoria in the decrepti-
tude of her 81 years to have decided, after
an absence of half century, to revisit the
country she hates, whose inhabitants are
the victims of the criminal policy of her
reign, the political necessity must have
been terribly strong, for after all she is
a woman, and however vile, selfish and pit
less her soul, she must sometimes tremble
as death approaches when she thinks of
the countless irish mothers who, shelter
less and watching their starving little
ones, have curaAd her before they died.
Every eviction in 60 years has been car
ried out in Victor:a's name, and If there is
justice in heaven, the shame of those poor
Irish immigrant girls, whose very inno-
cence renders them an easy prey and who
have been overcome in the terrible strug-
gle for existence on a foreign shore, will
fall on this woman whose bourgeois vir-
tue is so boosted and in whose name their
homes were destroyed.
Taking the shamrock in her wthered
hand she dared ask Ireland for soldiers
to protect the exterminators of their race"

CUMBERLAND, Md, April THE
strike which has been pending in the
Georges Creek coal region for some
days, reached a crisis at midnight to-
night, at which time all the men en-
ployed by the Consolidated Coal Com
pany went out on a strike, to be follow
ed by a general strike throughout the
region Wednesday morning.
There are twelve hundred men in the
employ of the Consolidated Company
and about 5000 in the region.
The strike will not be the result of
the 5 cents differential, as bad feeling
has been engineered by the discharge
of some of the Consultations miners
for attending the miners convention
at Homecoming last Saturday.
Miners say they were compelled by
the operators to stop work last fall
to hear Teddy Roosevelt, and because
they took day off on their own be-
half are discharged.
BUSINESS men III all Ine SuIIouHuiHS
towns held a meeting last night and
tried to avert the strike.
One company says it will crush the
miners organization if it takes militia
to do it, while the miners say if militia
is called out serious trouble will fol-
low.
There are 81 mines in the region,
owned by 16 companies, which mined
and shipped five million tons last
year.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Beers are in
force at Wepener, north of Smithfield,
Orange free state, and are threatening
Gen. Brabant's colonial division, the
main body of which. with the artillery,
is at Wepener.
A telegram which left Mascru, Bas-
utoland, north of Wepener, at mid
night, describes the Beers as being in
great force" and as afraid to make
frontal attack, but, it is added, they
were endeavoring to turn the British
position by crossing the Basuto 'front.'
Ter by road skirting Caledonia.
The BasutoS are excited. Assistant
Commissioner Griffiths, with force of
police, left Maseru Friday, going where
the Beers are about to tresspass, and
the tribesman engaged for railroad
work at Bloemfontein are deserving to
protect their villages.
Reports from Maseru almost hourly
of Boer activity in the Orange Free
State.
The latest unofficial dispatches from
Bloemfontein, dated Thursday says:
THE Beers continue to show great
activity and numbers of British troops
are arriving daily"
The alleged ill-treatment of the farm
ers who gave up their arms has called
to the front the Friend of the Free
State" published by the correspondents
under military supervisor. In its COM
ments it says:
When the question of settlement
comes, those who are responsible for
the outrages will be called to account.
We show leniency and tolerance to-
ward rebels, and we expect our exam
pie to be followed by those directing
the enemy's affairs. We shall exact
from the two presidents full reparation
for cruelty and inhumanity."
The army people of Bloemfontein
are depending on water drawn from
the wells.
The afternoon newspapers are I'M
tary dispositions permitting 500 men
to be isolated and captured.
The st. James Gazette and Globe
dwell with sneering emphasis on the
unfortunate occurrence"
I'm England" said the st. James
Gazette, I'VE can but sit still and Won
der what will happen next"

fontein, April 5:

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April T.
The State Board of Equalization will
meet here April 10, to map out the
work of equalizing taxation of real es-
tate between the several counties, and
to make it as uniform as possible, ac-
cording to it's true value all over the
State. The Board has determined to
hold sittings at various points in the
State to hear arguments. The first
sitting will be held in Wheeling, and
will begin about the 10th or 18th inst
This sitting will be for the benefit of
the citizens of Ohio and adjoining
counties.
There seems to be a great diversity
of opinion among the re-assessors as
to the value of real estate in their re-
Spective counties. In some, assess
ments have been increased out of all
proportion, while in others it has been
greatly reduced. In Mcdowell county
for instance, where the greatest indus
trial progress has been made and
where land values ought to have doub-
led in the last decade, the assessment
is reduced nearly 100000 The re-as-
SCISSORS have done so much wild figur-
ing that their work will be of but lit
tie value to the State Board of Equali-
cation.
There are still four counties that
have not yet reported their re-assess-
mentS.
