II Ia often asserted that the labor
,trike as such does not date back fur
.her than Capt. Boycott, In the early
part OF the century. As u matter Of
tact the earliest strike dates back 10
about 1850 B. O, or upward OF thirty
three centuries ago. Pharaoh was
building a new temple OF Thebes. The
masons received very little cash, but q
quantity Of provisions, which the con
tractors thought sufficient, was handed
TO them on the first Of each month.
Sufficient or not, they mostly ate 1t be.
fore the time had elapsed. On one oc.
caslon many OF them had nothing left
quite early In the month. so they
marched to the contractors house. be
fore which they sQuatted and refused
to bulge until justice was done. The
contractor persuaded them TO lay their
distress before Pharaoh. who was
about to visit the works, aud he gave
them a handsome supply OF corn, and
20 all went well for that month.
But the same state OF things recurred
oy the middle OF the next and for some
lays the men struck work. Various
conferences took place, but the men
declined to do stroke until they were
given another supply Of food. They
declared the clerks cheated them, used
| false weights and 90 forth familiar
enough complaints In this country un-
der the truck system, The contractor
not complying with their demands,
they marched to the governor OF the
city to lay their grievances before him,
and he tried to get them to return to
work by smooth words. but that was
no use and they insisted on having
food. At last. to get rid OF them. he
drew up an order for corn on the public
granary and the strike was at an end. -

Rarrister and Solicitor.

Lawyers In England are divided Into
two great classes- counsellors or bar
risters. and attorneys or solicitors. The
rounsellors or barrlsters. as these terms
imply. confine themselves TO the actual
trial and argument Of cases in open
court, and 10 consultations with attor-
neys or solicitors who represent the
clients. 1t Is contrary to professional
etiquette for a barrlster to confer or
consult directly with his client. The
attorneys. or solicitors, as they are all
now styled. see the client, take his
statement, gather the facts. and put Il
all down In writing In what Ia called
"the brief" The brief Is then handed
by the solicitor TO the barrister, with
bis retaining fee, and thereupon the
barrister and solicitor confer; the bar.
rister gives his advice and opinion. and
IL the case goes to trial he does all the
work In court. such as examining and
eross-examlnIng witnesses, and argu-
Ing or summing up the case before the
court or Jury. The solicitor does not
speak In court at all.

MINES AND MINING
Americans Are Not satisaed with the
Alaska Canadian survey lose
Good Territory.

Skagwav, Alaska, July S0.--The
work OF delimiting the provisional
boundary in the disputed Alaska-Can
dian territory having been completed
in that part crossing the Dalton trail
and touching the Porcupine district,
the Americans in the district find that
they have lost large part Of what
they believed was rightfully American
territory. The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the
last few weeks by o. II. Tittman, Of
Washington, ID. o., and w. +. King,
OF Ottawa, and assistants, who have
simply followed Instructions as set
forth in the modus visendi agreed 70
professionally some months ago by Sec
retary Hay, on the part of the United
States, and the British representatives,
after the adjournment OF the joint high
commission.
The survey and demarkation Of the
line leaves nearly one-hali Of the Por-
cupine gold mines in the British terri
tory, and it has been the general opin-
ion for long time that the mines--in
fact, the entire Porcupine district
was ON the American side. Mach OF
the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu-
pine city now lies within Canadian ter
ritory also: that is, is on the Canadian
side OF the iron monuments set on the
provisional line.
The American miners in the Porcu-
pine having watched the Development
OF the work of delimittng and marking
the boundary, were so aroused over the
result OF so much mining district being
LETT on the British side that they were
not long in addressing protest to
President Mckinley. Copies of the
protest have been sent to the chambers
OF commerce Of Seattle. Skagway. San
Francisco and Portland, with request
for cooperation.
The commission will be in the vicin-
ity Of Skagway month, delimitiDg
the provisional line on White Pass and
Chilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placer
mines, it is estimated, will yield $3.50,
900 this year. Work of sluicing. hy-
draulicking and other kinds OF mining
is carried ON in the district.
