Mr.. Mckinley is regarded as a
weak man. He has failed to i'm
press upon the members of his par
ty that he is the man for the high
Office he holds. There is not, of
course, any doubt about his integ-
rity, but there is doubt of his hav-
ing mind of his own. There is a
very strong impression in Now Eng
land, if what is appearing in tho
newspapers of that section is to be
believed, that Senator Hanna is the
real President, and there is a de-
oided feeling against the Senator.
He is regarded as arplutocrat, and
there is suspicion that he would
sacrifice the institutions of the
country to crafty his ambition

There never was greater hum.
bug than the pretext upon which
the President bases his request
that some 100000 in tariff dues
paid by American importers upon
products brought into this country
from Porto Rico shall be turned
over to him to pay the costs of adj
ministration in that island. 1t is
represented that this money which
came into the United States Treas
ury from the Porto Ricans. This
ishumbug number one. tits mon
ey paid by our own citizens for the
privilege of buying Porto Rican
products. 1t is further represent
ed that, in giving this money to
the President to pay for governing
Porto Rico we are refunding tothe
Islanders what we have taken from
them through the tariff tax on their
goods. This is humbug number
two. The money did not come
from them, in the first place, and
it is not going back to them, but to
Mr.. McKinIey's agents who are do
ing the business of government
there. 1t is also represented that
this 50, 100000 and more will take
the place of an appropriation made
directly for the care of Porto Rico
and SO be, in effect, an economy.
That, in short, the island will in
this way be made to pay it's owp OK
penses. This is humbug number
three. The proceeds from the tar
iff on the Porto Rican products
now in the United States Treasury
have no moro relation to that island
than the proceeds of stamp taxes
in the city of Boston. If Congress
gives the President 100000, it
will be an additional appropriation,
whatever he may choose to call it.
Meantime, there is no humbug
about the tariff taxation itself.
The trade of Porto Rico is dead
while this tax is continued.

SHELTER A SUCCESS.
Pertinent Remarks by a Min

It Is but simple justice to Mr.. Laughlin
and his associates OF the Sumpter smelter

that the recent first test u was a d decided
success as applied to that class OF copper
ores, especially as the results were pro.
duced under many disadvantages. There
was and is no intention on the part Of the
writer to place Mr.. Laughlin's efforts
in the category Of "fakes," with which
this and all mining camps have been
more or less afflicted up to date.
In the run referred to there were nine
tons Of co oper ore put through the furn.
see, which produced 1890 pounds OF matte,
resulting in a saving OF $33 In gold, Q
ounces In silver and 80 per cent copper
per ton Of matte. The loss IN the Stag
was only four.tenths OF an ounce In silver,

ECHOES OF BULL HILL.
Samuel Strong Returns From
Europe to Face Charges.

Colorado Springs. Colo, Nov. H.
Samuel Strong, a prominent Cripple
Greek mining man, has arrived home
from his European tour, and announces
his readiness TO face the charges re-
Gently brought against him IN connec-
tion with the destructive explosion
which occurred at the Strong mine in
Victor six years ago.
The Strong shaft house, ore house and
machinery were blown up May 25, 1894.
The explosion was one of the sensational
incidents of the Bull hiIl'' war, when
the miners of the Cripple Creek district
were on strike and hundreds of deputy
sheriffs We're enlisted and armed in Dem
YER to oppose the strikers
Robert j. Lyons, Nicholas Kelly and
several other miners were tried, con-
victed and sentenced to long terms in
the -penitentiary for the Strong mine
affair. Their innocence has since been
have brought suit for $150.000 damages
each against Mr.. Strong. It is alleged
that Mr.. Strong himself caused the ex-
plosion.
It is charged that he had agreed to
sell the property to E. w. Giddings and
VIM. Lennox, and that at the time
of the explosion he had already
received $4,000 as part payment
for the property, and a balance of $40,-
600 was due him in a few days Tt is
claimed that he discovered the value
of the property after he had sold it,
and ne expected that after the workings
were destroyed by the explosion they
would fail to pay the balance due and
the property would revert to him.
After Mr.. Strong's marriage to Miss
Neville, several suits for breach of
promise were brought against him,
which were followed by a suit brought
bv two miners who alleged in their COM
plants that he had hired them on Bull
hill in May, 1894, to go to the Strong
mine and destroy the shaft house as well
as the shaft.

RIVAL BODIES.
Both Wings of K. of T. in Session at
Birmingham.

Birmingham, Ala. Nov 1.-THE Par
sons and Hays factions of the Knights
of Labor are still holding their separate
and distinct conventions without inter
ference with each other. The Hayes
wing ignores the Parsons faction. and
the Parsons wing is waiting for the Ill
innate decision to be reached in the
courts when the merits of the contro-
versy comes up for hearing. The Hayes
faction replies to the charge that it
can not be regular because it is with
out the official books and papers by
stating that the books and papers Of the
order Were shipped from Washington
city before the court order forbidding
their removal, etc, was issued, and that
they can not be in contempt Of court.
They assume emphatically to be holding
a regular convention. While the entire
