sionaries.

The state department is in a quandry
to devise means to render effective pro-
lection to the American missionaries

The difficulty lies in the fact that the
missionaries have in most cases gone
as far as 200 miles inland, and a fur
ther question arises as to who is charg-
able with their protection, China or
Germany.

CAPTAIN LEARYs ORDERS.
Some of Them Causing DISSATISFACTION
in Guam.


NEW IORK, March 2O.-A special Ia
the Herald from Washington says.
Information has been received at the
navy department showing that some OF
the orders issued by Captain Leary.
governor of Guam, have not been al
together satisfactory to the inhabitants
of the island.
One of the orders issued by Captain
Leary for example, forbade the ring
ing Of church bells night and morning
As practically all Of the inhabitants
of Guam are Roman Catholics and very
devout this caused some criticism. Cap
tain Leary has explained to the de-
partment that the reason for the order
was that the church was quite near tltc
hospital and that the ringing Of the
bells disturbed the typhoid fever pa
tients. Most of these patients have
been discharged from the hospital ana
it is believed the governor can now re-
yoke his original order.
Captain Leary has IN the main done
excellent work in the island and the
authorities are much gratiacd at sHe
manner in which he has administered
affairs. 1t is understood, however, that
he will not be allowed to remain much
longer, but will be detached and An.

sent to succeed him.

BRISTOL, R. l., Oct. 1e.-John B. Herre-

of the Columbia, was asked this question
today:
Can you turn out faster yacht than

Mr. Herreshoti declared that there was
no reason for anyone familiar with mod

science and practice of yacht building to
believe that the limit had been reached in
the Columbia any more than with the De-
fender OF the Vigilant. or any OF the Bur-

of the Sandy Hook course.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
Powder Question stfII Blocking &
Settlement of tae Trouble.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 19.-Some of
the strikers here are said to be at loss
to understand the action Of their officials
in declaring that they do not want re-
duction in the price of powder at this
time, but insist upon an increase OF 10
per cent without any restrictions. The
increase, it is contended, is 10 per cent
advance on their earnings whether they
get it with the powder at the old rate of
$2.75 a keg or $1.5o.
One of the operators who attended the
meeting at Scranton. said this morning in
explaining the situation:
1T is true the conference agreed to in
sist on a decrease being made in the price
of powder and such decrease is to be com
puted as part of an increase of wages to
contract miners. But this powder question
is greatly misunderstood. The situation
is just this, the 10 per cent increase in
wages with powder at $1.50 a keg means
that the men will earn just 10 per cent
more in wages than they did under the old
system, Now surely that is plain enough.
IL the operators We're to grant a 10 per cent
increase in wages and put the price of
powder down to s1.50 that would mean
increase in wages of 90 per cent. l don t
think the men ask for such an Increase
Other operators say the strikers asked
for decrease in the price of powder in
their original demands and said that the
strikers declared the offer of October 2
quite satisfactory, providing the operators
agreed to keep it in force until April, 1901.
