Kansas Mlners' Victory.

The difficulty between the miners and
operators at Leavenworth, Kan, which
has existed for the past six weeks, has
been settled by the men accepting the
decision OF o. B. Taylor, who had been
chosen as arbitrator by both sides. The
terms upon which the men will go to
work are 81 cents per ton, eight hours
to constitute a days work. This is a
victory for the miners. Only one mine
started Monday morning, the other two
not being ready. One hundred and fifty
miners have gone to other fields, but
they will return as soon as work starts

lEvEE GIVES WAY.
Waters Of The Wisconsin River overfows
tho Town OF Portage.

The government levee at Portage,
Wis, gave way Tuesday afternoon. A
tremendous rush OF water from the
Wisconsin river spread over the lower
part OF the city. Streets and Easements
were flooded in few minutes and the
inhabitants hurried to higher ground
with household goods and other valua-
bles. The damage will amount to thou
sands OF dollars.
Three hundred men worked hard all
morning in an effort to brace up the
levee, which was discovered to be ex-
tremcly weak and threatening to give
way under the high stage OF the river.
Their efforts were unavaling, however.
1t is feared the food will spread over
at least one-ffth OF the city. 1t is not
thought any lives were lost, as the flood
had been expected

Havana Bond Issue.

Three thousand Spanish immigrants
have arrived at Havana since October I,

thority that the Havana bond issue of
$25,oooooo will not be sanctioned by
Gen. Wood unless par is obtained at
4 per cent. and not to exceed 5 per cent

The committee appointed by the in
surgent faction of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics at the
State council in Philadelphia on Sep
