From the Chicago Record.
On Aug. last the Record published

jr.. it's staff correspondent in Pellin,
this being the first dispatch sent ont
to any newspaper from the besieged
foreigners in that city. In letter re-
ceived by the Record yesterday. and
dated Aug. Is, Dr.. Coltman writes:
when I got off the message the

was too tight For native to go out
and try to sneak through at night

death with torture.
II agreed to pay 5000 If the message
got through, to a clever boy of Is.
and it was he who got through. The
message was written on a piece of
thin paper. and written so fine as to
only cover a small visiting cards
space. This was rolled up and put
under some spoiled rice in beggar's
broken bowl and the boy. personating

was captured twice and searched. but
they never thought of emptying out
his stale rice bowl and looking
through 1t for the bit of oiled paper
that wrapped up the precious mes
sage"
This Is probably the most remark
able instance on record of forwarding
a newspaper dispatch under seeming
IL insuperabl difficulties.

Notices Posted.

Notices of the decision arrived at by
the operators conference. Tuesday
afternoon, that the ten per cent. ud-
vance was to be figured by reducing
powder to $l.50 a keg and adding two
and one-half per cent. to the car,
were posted generally ny the coal COM
panies yesterday. The Lackawanna
company's notice was posted early yes.
terday morning. 1t is similar to that
posted by the Delaware and Hudson
the night before.
AS a general rule the notice Is very
favorably considered. In some few in
stances the miner who uses very little
powder Will not get the full ten per
cent. but tthis Is counterbalanced by
the fact that the majority of the min
ers Will get more than ten per cent.
some of them as high as fourteen per
cent. The per cent. end of the matter
however, occasions no practical uni
formty as every man Is to receive
powder for $1.50 keg and an even
advance of 2 1-2 per cent on the car.
How the notice is being received is
illustrated aptly by story told
around headquarters. A Delaware
and Hudson miner who had
very good place and who was
counting on an individual ac-
counting as to what per centage Of ex-
pense the reduction in the price of
powder represented, was complaining
that the new order OF things was not
fair and that he was going to lose
by 1t. An Hungarian miner who hap
pens to have a rather hard place, and
who was pleased that the per cent
age for powder was not to exceed seven
and one-half, put an end to the favored
miners complaining by the simple re-
mark "Me trade you places"
Trouble at Washery.
Some trouble occurred yesterday
and the day before at w. y. Davis
washery, located between the Della
ware and Hudson tracks and the river,
just below the MinoOka station but
the only result was the closing down
of the washery.
Tuesday afternoon a crowd assem-
bled on a culm bank above the place
where the men were shovelling culm
into the carriers and drove them out
with fusiladc of stones. Later in
the day when it was attempted to re-
sumo work with the aid of a few Of
the fifteen employees who did not de-
sert and about n dozen deputies, who
offered 10 give over their guard duty
and lend a hand at shovelling, the
crowd once more appeared and re-
newed the attack. Rather than have
any bother, the place was shut down.
Yesterday morning. while Foreman
Charles Kane and Fireman Casper
Leuthold were going down the tracks
to the washery, a small crowd that
had been on picket duty on the hill
above the railroad, rushed down or
the two men and pelted them with
stones. Leuthold drew his revolver
and fired a shot, at which the assail-
ants halted and sought the cover of
the trees. Kane and Leuthold con-
tinued their journey unmolested. Two
shots We're fired by the crowd on the
hill, but like Leuthold's shot, they
were aimed at the sky. At least,
both sides claim that their shots We're
directed towards the zenith.

THIS Is DONATION DAY.

less Are Great

less Are Great.
Today will be donation day at the
Home for the Friendless. The event
is anticipated with unusual interest
as the needs of the institution are
greater than usual. So many are there
to be fed and clothed and sheltered
and Notwithstanding the kindness of
friends in the past the stock of pro-
visions, groceries and wearing apparel
is very low indeed. Anything which
you send will be appreciated and if
kind friends find it impossible to have
their gifts conveyed thither a te!e-
phone message to the Home any time
today will result in sending for such
donations.
This evening an entertainment will
be given, when it is specially urged
that every we'll wsher of the Home
will be in attendance. A silver offer
ing will be received and the entertain
mnt will more than repay any effort
made by visitors and patrons. Miss
