PlERCEs THE BEST ARm0R.
A Marvellous Shell Tested by officers Of The
Navy Depar, ,menL

With one of the soft, metal capped
shells of American manufacture, devel-
oped by the naval ordinance bureau, a
six-inch naval rifle Tuesday, plugged a
clean hole through plate of Harvey
lied armor "a inches thick. This mar
velous achievement was witnessed by
Assistant Secretary Hackett, for whom
the trial was made at Indian Head. The
gun was charged with smokeless powder
enough to give the shell velocity OF
2.5So feet per second or rs per cent.
above ordinary proof velocity.
Some facts almost startling in their
importance were laid before the Senate
in secret legislative session at the con-
clusion of the regular open session.
They related to the invention of shell
by prominent officer of the United
States navy, superior in every essential
quality to any now in use by this or any
other government. The quality of pen
etration possessed by the she'll is said
to be so great that no armor now man
ufactured in the United States or abroad
has sufficient resistance to withstand It.
The facts, which were in possession of
few senators, were deemed so i'm
portant that the Senate decided to con-
slider them in secret session.

WONDERFUL GOLD MINES.
New Field In Siberia Said to be the Most VAL

New gold fields rivaling in richness
the deposits OF Cape Nome will be open
ed to American miners il the expecta-
tions OF the members OF the Russian
expedition which arrived in New York
Sunday night on the Campana, on its
way to northeastern Siberia, are full
filled.
Vladimir Wonlarlarsky, a colonel of
the Russian imperial guard, obtained
the concession OF the vast Siberian tract
which the expedition is to examine.
There were more than 10 applicants for
the grant, which had been sought with
cagerness since the discovery OF gold
on the American side of the Bering sea.
George Roberts, veteran Californian,
says that from information which he
had received the deposit OF gold on the
Siberian coast promised to be the most
valuable ever discovered. No attempt
will be made to work the tundra this
year, but the party hopes to be able to
make some contracts with American
companies with pumps and dredges.

MINERS BLOODY RIOT.
Revolvers Fired and Three Men, Including The
The Superintendent Are Injured.

The Buttonwood mine, OF the Parish
Coal Company, where 400 men went on
strike, was the scene OF a riot. The
strikers. to the number OF several hun
dred, gathered early to prevent any one
from working. The first attacked was
Morgan Thomas, pipeman. Two re-
volvers were placed at his head and he
was knocked off his bicycle. Three 9TH
er workmen came to his rescue and a
free fight ensued. The strikers got the
worst OF it and had to call for reinforce
ments.
A short distance away another battle
was in progress. The strikers attacked
a half dozen men. who carried dinner
pals. and drove them off. About 30
Ihots were fired. Two men were wound
cd, but not seriously Gen. Supt.
Smythe arrived upon the ground and
the mob hissed and hooted him. Mr.
Smythc tried to reason with the men,
but the latter would not listen to him
Then some one in the crowd threw
club, striking the superintendent o,nu<
head. A severe cash was inflicted, 1I(le
which the blood flowed freely. A num-
Der OF workmen came to the superin-
tendents assistance and he was dragged
away from the mob. The injured man
was taken to Wilkesbarre. where a ply
sician dressed the wounds.
The whole trouble was caused by the
discharge OF a miner.

MILLIONS IRE DYING EACH WEEK.
lNDIA'S FAMINE.
Deaths Terrible Ravagcs Among Starving
Hindoos-cruelties Praciiced by Local
RaIahs-WorIds Relief Pouring In.

Mail adviccs from India show the FAM
inc raging there to be far worse than
is reported in official dispatches. There
is more distress than has been known
in any two previous famines, and the
affected area covers practically the en-
tire country. except the eastern corner
watcred by the Ganges.
On map OF the United States the dis
trict would extend from Washington to
Jacksonville. and west to Denver and
FL Paso, while the famine population is
one and hall times that OF the whole
United States. Since the first of the
year more than million people have
died. and the present death rate is
above 10000 week.
The only permanent relief centers in
the annual monsoon due about the mid
die OF June, which will water the coun-
try. 1t is feared, however, that late
winter will divert the monsoon currents
and add immensely to the suffering
Where the natives are in charge OF
the relief work there is an entire alb
sencc OF system and indifference to the
sufferings. When grain is entrusted to
the care of natives they usually sell it
for their own use. Instances are known
OF starving men being forced to give
everything they possessed for a measure
for little grain, to make their wills in
for a title grain, to make their wills in
favor OF natives, who thereafter refuse
to continue the supply until the man
dies.
Babies are the greatest sufferers and
literally die like the flies that swarm
over their little bodies Many OF them
are sent to the relief centers, each bear
ing some distinctive mark as the only
way mothers can recognize their chill
dren after the famine is over, so great
will be the change in their appearance.
Some OF the native rulers are work
ing harmoniously with the British and
are making generous subscriptions.
Others of the less enlightened class be
lieve the famine to be the work OF God
and consider it sacrilege to relieve
those designed by fate to perish. In
several OF the interior states. hundreds
OF miles away from the nearest railroad
it is risking your life to alleviate the
sufferings.
Money is pouring into India from
every quarter OF the globe, but more
than money is wanted. Direct shipment
OF wheat and rice. and almost as much
rs these, cattle fodder is necessary.

ROBERTS FIGHTING ON NORTHWARD
CLOSE TO KRo0NSTAD.
Relief OF Ma'eking Probable Next Week-Bocrs
Resist each Moyemen, but are Con-

Gen. Roberts had on Thursday night
pushed his advance to within 20 miles
OF Kroonstad, but the most gratifying
news that comes from the front Satur-
day morning is that Gen. Hunters lead
ing column Is racing toward Maiekng
and reached Nryburg, 100 miles from
the beleaguered town on Thursday
Fifty miles south OF Nryburg, at Taungs
is Gen. Hunters main body, moving
slowly and contcnding with considerable
forces The pick OF his mounted men
are the 1000 who are going without
wheeled transport and at rate that may
possibly bring them to Maicking on
Monday or Tuesday.
President Stcyn and a council OF the
leaders OF several thousand Free Stat
ers in the Ladybrand and Ficksburg dis
trict determined to submit to the men
the question OF continuing the war or
not at a great open air meeting. The
fighting men decided to fight on.
Steyn, who appears to be in active com
mand. began to advance toward the
British and came into contact on Thurs
day with CampbelIs brigade, and Bra
bant's horse, 20 miles northeast OF
Thaba N'Chu, A smart engagement
ensued, with no positive success on eth
er side
Tuesday Gen Hutton attempted to
seize a Bocr convoy that was leaving
the Zand river. He advanced toward
the river with mounted infantry, includ-
ing the Canadians. A long line OF wag-
ons was plainly visible.
On becoming aware OF Gen. Hutton's
object, the Beers stopped their retreat
and opened fire with ten guns. They
seemed in great force, and threatened
Hutton's flank.
Presently mounted Beers were seen
crossing the dry bed OF the river. They
circled to the right and began to enhl-
ade the Australians. while many OF the
British were hit by Boer shells.
The position became serious. The
Beers sent up rciniorcements, placing
the Australians in danger OF being cut
off Thereupon Gen. Hutton ordered
retirement to Welgelegen, where he had
left his own convoy. A portion of the
forces advanced and engaged the Beers
to cover this retirement, which was suc-
cessfullv accomplished.
The Beers continued to shell the re-
firing troops. but showed no desire 10
press the attack further. Meanwhile the
Boer trains streamed away northward,
blowing up the culverts as they went.

Populist National Convention Hold R,d.Hol
Session Thursday

After desperate fight between the
contending forces the Populist National
convention at Sioux Falls, s. D., Thurs

former congressman from Minnesota,
for the vice presidency. Mr.. Towne
was Republican nearly all his life, but
in 1892 led the Silver Republicans in

convention and organized the Silver

National chairman.
Many OF the leaders of the Populist
party opposed the making OF any nom
nation for the vice presidency at this
convention. favoring the sending of a
conference committee to the Demo-
cratic National convention in Kansas
City. where a candidate agreeable to
both parties might be chosen. The
fight for this course was made by SEN

was considered representative of the
views of Mr.. Bryan: by General Weav-

LYNCHE0 AND RIDDLED.
West Virginia Mob Hangs a Negro to a Tree,
Then Shoot Him.

Friday night about 1890 o'clock a
masked mob OF 100 men took William
Lee. colored. from the Jail at Hinton,
w. Va, and hanged him to tree near
by. After the hanging his body was
riddled with bullets, fully 100 shots be-
ing fired.
The crime with which Lee was charg-
ed was an attempt to assault Mrs. H..
II. Diefenbach, a Chesapeake and Ohio
telegraph operator at Sandstone, seven
miles west of that city. The mob gath
cred in the suburbs OF the city and
marched quietly to the county Jail. They
were met by the sheriff and several cit
izens, who tried to persuade them to de-
sist. Judge McWhorter came forward
and tried by argument to get the crowd
to refrain from violence and let the law
take its course The crowd listened re-
spectfuly to the judges remarks, but
when he Mas through renewed their de-
mand for the keys to the negro's cell.
Seeing that further parleying was
useless the iailer was compelled to ac-
cede to their demands. Lee was about
20 years OF age, and claimed his home
was in North Carolina. He had been
for several months at work on the
Chesapeake and Ohio construction
force. He bore bad reputation.

JAPAN EXPECTING WAR VERY SOON.
BIG PREPARATIONS.
Agoi.s Of The mikado Buying War Equipmon
In America-iiali Million Soldiers
for The Field.

Chokuro Kadono, of Toxic, Japan, an
agent of the Japanese government is in
Massachusetts, buying arms and equip
ment for an army OF 100000 men, to be
placed in the field by the Japanese gov
eminent at once. He is in Worcester
now buying tools for arsenals and
studying American methods OF manu-
featuring implements OF warfare. He
furnished some startling facts as to the
scale on which Japan is carrying on her
preparations for the coming conflict.
lhe Mikado is preparing quietly to
put an army OF 100000 well armed and
well drilled soldiers in the field, and
within two years the japanese army will
be one OF the most formidable in point
OF numbers and equipment OF any arm
ed force in the world. The japanese
emperor considers that the American
make OF offensive and defensive arms is
the best in the world, and he has depu-
tized a force OF the brightest educated
young men in the empire to go to for
eign parts and study them.
Heavy artillery to back up the forces
OF infantry, which the Mikado will put
in the field before 1903, will be neces-
sary, and the finest and most powerful
make OF guns will be purchased. From
this country Kadono will sail for
France. His principal destination will
be the gun works OF Krupp, in Essen,
Germany.
kadono says that Japan is going to
be in the front rank when the war cloud
bursts over the eastern coast OF Asia.
Japan does not intend to be wiped off
the face OF the EARTH to be divided up
among Christian nations, as China may
be some day. When war comes. Ka-
dono believes that the United States
will have TO hurry to catch up with the
end OF the procession More ships and
a half million of well armed men is
what japan will rely on to repel the
greedy European nations.

The postofhce at Dunbar, Pa, was
burglarized early Thursday morning
The safe was shattered by a strong
charge OF nitro-gycerine or dynamite
and stamps to the value OF $IIo, two
valuable registered letters and several
dollars in small change taken. The
robbery was one OF the most daring and
successful ever perpetrated in Fayette
county. There is not the least doubt
in the minds OF those who have viewed
the wrecked safe and the method used
by the burglars in blowing it open, that
they the cracksmen, are professionals
and quite likely are the same thieves
who looted the East Brady bank.
The postoffcc building is situated in
the very heart of the town along the
side OF Postmaster George H. Swear
ingen's residence. and still no person
was awakened by the force OF the ex-
plosion. All the drawers in the safe
were rifled. Several report books con-
tanning the business of the office were
also taken. These are of no value to
the robbers, and will no doubt be
thrown away in some out of the way
