London, Oct. 23.-There is much
discussion of the Anglo-German agree
ment, but there are few fresh details.
While Russia and France were acting
with the other powers is was known
that they were in alliance with each
other. 1t is now equally clear that
England and Germany, while anxious to
cooperate with the other powers, are
also in alliance with each other for
definite ends. Foreign opinion on the
agreement is, so far as it is known,
favorable on the whole. 1t is difficult
to gauge the exact view of the Rus
sian foreign Office, and no word has
yet come from Japan, but it is abun-
dainty clear that Austria approves of
the new dual alliance.
Wants to Know the Meaning.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Before the
United States gives its adherence to

ministration authorities purpose to

opments in regard to the China situa-
ton.

STRIKERS USING FORCE.
They Are Now Determined to Close the

Small N0n-Union Forces.

OCIdAUOu, Id, OCt. AS HISl
hostile demonstration of the miners
strike in the Lackawanna region was
made this morning at Oliphant, near
here, where it was determined to close
down the Grassy Island coal washery.
The place had been working a force
of 80 men during the past two weeks
and was daily turning out 1000 tons
of the smaller sizes of fuel for the
market. Several hundred strikers
gathered along the road near the
washery and when the workmen ap-
peared circled around them and gave
them to understand they must desist
from working until the strike was
settled. Two of the deputies at the
mine came to the scene and were
armed against any interference.
The workmen decided they would
return home. The strikers marched
with them back to Oliphant, shouting
as they passed down the main street
This was the first move towards shut
ting down the washeries in the valley
and if other men at work therein dc
not come out there will be demon

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, Oct. 20-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade to-day
SAYS: A settlement of the coal strike
satisfactory to all interests having
been effected, business breathes more
freely in the east and distribution of
merchandise is increasing slowly
again, though the election excitement
keeps new buying in many lines down
to wants for immediate consumption.
In the west there is not the same hes
itation and there, as well as in The
south, the marketing of the crops is
responsible for a feeling of much con-
fdence in the movement of business IT
the nation acts conservatively at the
polls. Prices of commodities are
weaker, and the caution so crafty
ing in q presidential year keeps spec
ulation at q minimum.
Cotton further declined, making
the loss about So bale in two weeks
Planters are rushing work and pick
ing is expected to progress rapidly
enough to save most of the crop from
early frost. High prices make it pos
sible to pay good wages to pickers
and the movement at receiving points
increases largely. Wheat has shown
more weakness, due in part to the
greater activity at Russian ports; and
Atlantic exports for the week are only
2,647, 235 bushels against 3,270,2 26 a
year ago. Corn also declined, but is
six cents above last year, which may
account for the loss in exports, in
three weeks 7,654,765 bushels, against
10,924, 406 in 1899.
Few important fluctuations oc-

tracts few weeks. More mills have

is improving.

Declares Mosquitoes Propagate Malaria
Marseilles, Oct. 2O.-Dr. Robert
Koch, the bacteriologist, who is en-
ployed by the German government to
investigate tropical diseases, arrived
here yesterday from German New
Guiana, by way of Hong Kong. He
is on his way to Berlin, where he will
present to the Academy of Medicine
the result of Is months study of ma
laria in New Guiana, Java and ada
cent German territories. He confirms
the report that he has succeeded in
isolating and cultivating the malaria
bacillus and he repeats his Hong
Kong declaration that there is no
doubt that mosquitoes are the Prin-
cipa1 propagators of malaria in the
districts where his latest investiga-
tons have been conducted, no less
than in Egypt and German East
Africa, where he went in 1898.

The St. Louis Strike.

To all appearances Wednesday wit,
messed the beginning of the end Of the
riotous demonstrations and scenes Of
bloodshed that have characterized the
street railway strike for over month
past at St. Louis. In many quarters it
is thought the strike itself will soon be
settled. These opinions are based upon
statements of the. chief Of police and
sheriff that the critical stage has been
passed and upon the fact that the St.
Louis Transit company is slowly but
surely approaching complete resump-
ton of business with the aid Of nom
union men. The inquest over the
bodies Of the victims Of Sundays riot
began Wednesday. The testimony ad-
duced was not Of character calculated
to base decision as to which side was
to blame for beginning hostilities the
witnesses disagreeing on material
points. Some placed the blame on the
posse and others placed it on the strik-
ers. Many contradictions have arisen
in the accounts of Sundays tragedy and
these were emphasized in the testimony
taken,

God Bless the Women.

A fashion book says that belts, gloves
and neckties Of rattlesnake skin is now
fashionable. We felt convinced that
the rattlesnake would have to come to
it sooner or later. 1t is about the only
varmint left that the women didn't
wear. Think of a woman being ar
rayed in siIkWorm dress, ostrich
feather hat, sealskin sacque, goatskin
shoes, Whalebone stays. kidskin gloves,
tortoise she'll comb, fish scale trim
mings stuffed canary bird ornaments,
clam shell buttons, Spitz dog muf,
mink tail collarette, alligator hide
purse, and a rattlesaake belt and neck
tie. Solomon in all his glory was not
such meaagerie as one Of these, and
yet we love them no matter what they
wear. God bless the women!

the founder Of the college, to the board
Of trustees. Bishop Duncan, chairman
of the board, responded appropriately
and expressed thanks for the valuable
gift.
The only degree conferred was that
Of A. NJ, on L. L. Dsntzler Of the
class of '90.
Bishop Duncan then made the annual
report Of the trustees. This showed
clearly that the year just ended had
been one Of the most prosperous and
successful in the history Of Wofford.
The greatest feature among the many
was the promptness and punctuality OF
the student. The bishop then stated
that the board of trutees had persuaded
Dr.. James H. Carlisle to hold over as
president Of the college for another
year. This announcement almost set
the cultured, sedate audience wild.
Such a sight was never witnessed be-
fore in the chapel. People young and
old, male and female, cheered vocifer-
ously aud Justify. This was the big
gest and most universally satisfactory
piece of news of commencement week.
