STRIKE ORDERED FOR MAY FIRST
SmuggIer-Union Properties Likely to
Be Tied Up on That Date.

Telluride journal
The journal has information from a
relable source-a member of the
union-that at meeting held Sunday
evening it was voted to strike on the
Smuggler-union property on May l.,
unless the company shall consent to
abolish the system of stopping by con-
tract This will not be done.
The situation. as We find it. is about
as follows: There is objection to
stopping under contract at so much
per fathom. though no man is forced
to take these contracts and there is
ample work in the mine by day wages
tor all who apply and accept. and are
found to be faithful competent work
men. The journal has interviewed
at least half a dozen representative
miners. men whom we have known
personally for the past fifteen to eigh-
teen years, and who never have trou-
bic In securing employment on the
best mines of the camp. These men
are now contracting on the Smuggler
and express themselves as well salts
he'd with the system. All declare that
the system has many advantages.
These men are making considerably
better than wages-s3 per day. They
say that the plan permits men to
choose their own associates. or part
ners in their work, and where three
or four, or more, are associated in n
contract. they not only can work to a
better advantage but are permitted to
sort OF group by themselves, and are
given private quarters in the bunk
houses. They say tnat the system
is good one. again, because 1t tends
to teach men to employ their best
facilities. to mine with the head as
well as the hands; to place their
holes where they will be the most
effective in breaking ground: to be
more careful In the use of steel and
other tools. the repair and sharpening
OF which is n source of no inconsider-
able expense; to economize in the
use OF powder and fuse: In short,

vented hlibustering to LtZon, coase-
quently Aguinaldo found himself un-
able to collect enough men or arms
to make decisive stand. He was a
leader who could not lead-all owing
to the neverflagging energy of those
terrible fighters"
1t is natural that Aguinaldo should
have mistaken the fighting qualities
of the Americans. He was used to
fighting the Spaniards, who were CON
tent to stick to their posts and repel
the attacks of the little brown sol
diers. When an avalanche of khaki
clad first class fightin' men" seemed
to flood the island of Luzon, it is not
strange that Aguinaldo was at first
amazed and then alarmed. Such
lighting methods, such energy. and
such strategy We're meyer employed
against the Filipinos. The chief won
der is that the brown fighters. dis
organized, and with n leader whose
chlef energies Were bent toward con
cealment from the foe. managed to
make such long and stubborn re
sistance. AS it is, their losses have
been frightful. Aguinaldo speaking
with emotion of the deadly work of
the American rlnemen.
1he Filipinos have learned a bitter
lesson, but doubtless it has been a sal
utary one. The insurrections that
were so common under Spanish rule

ippines remain under control of the

THE EUREKA DISTRICT.
J. II. MoreIand Tells About Activity

J. n. Moreland whose family re-

says there is every Indication of big
boom in that section this summer.
Mr.. Moreland is connected with the
Ridgway, Silver Wing, Frederick and
Scotia mines.
All of these, with the exception OF
the Scotia, are in operation, while
work will be begun on that group right
away. The present owners have but
lately purchased the Silver Wing, but
the Ridgway and Frederick have been
worked all winter

owner is now employing a considera-

Union company of Telluride are the
Sunnyside Extensions present own
ers. Mr.. Collins being manager.
Two other groups which have been
worked nearly all winter are the Min
ME Gulch and the Tom Moore. The
former is employing some forty men
and the latter about %.
The tunnel, started last summer for
the purpose of opening up the Lion
properties is being pushed towards
completion. Mr.. Burrows, the own
err is employing a large number of
men. The Big Five. property near
iiowardsville, is working a crosscut
tunnel running toward Ceme,,t creek.

AGUiNALDO AND THE "TERRRI
BILE FIGHTERS"

The reconstructed and Americanized
edition of Aguinaldo has consented to
be interviewed, and frankly pays high
tribute to those terrible fighters. &"
the American soldiers.
Aguinaldo says that at one time
he commanded 10000 rinemen, yet
at no time was he able to concentrate
his forces and lead them to one decis-
i've battle. There was a force of
mixers continually at his heels, and
from his own account of his campaign
1t is evident that the Filipino chief
tain found his entire time occupied in
keeping out of the way of danger

BILE In all its bearings.

BILE in all its bearings
The Smuggier- Union is low grade
mine. very close proposition. The
company has millions of dollars in
vested and these Investments are be-
Ing added to yearly. In order to
show a profit on the operations the
most careful figuring and the closest
economy is imperative, wherever pos
sible. The purpose of the contract
system is not to reduce wages but to
effect saving in the consumption of
supplies. The most careful, econom-
ical and thrifty man will exercise
these traits more scrupulously if the
powder and fuse he burns is charged
up to him than he would did it come
out OF the company. This is no re-
Election, it is simply human nature.
1t is in this line that the saving is el-
fected.
In discussing the matter some
weeks ago Manager Collins assured
the journal that at the first intimation
OF trouble he would shut the entire
property down tight and make no eff
fort at operation. This Will be a Sc
rious blow to the prosperity OF the
entire camp. For fifteen years the
Smuggler- Union has been the main
stay of Telluride. Without this prop
erty there would have been no TeIlu-
ride. To be sure these conditions are
now somewhat modified. still this in
dustry is our main dependence. In
view OF all this it is extremely un-
fortunate that this misunderstanding
should arise and affect the result that
now seems inevitable.

Some months ago the emperor of
China issued an edict calling upon
certain viceroys TO submit memorials
setting forth tho reforms they would
recommend for tho adoption OF the
court. and In reply some Of them have
made very sensible suggestions. if
they are adopted It will be for the
very decided advantage OF China and
all concerned. One of the most I'm,
portant OF these suggestions ls that
the young men OF the imperial family
and the nobility be sent abroad for
education at the expense OF the gov.
ernment. and that the mandarin class
he encouraged to do the same by
making foreign education a necessary
qualification for appointment TO Ger.
tain offices OF high rank. Second.
that schools and colleges for the edu.
cation OF natives In modern sciences
and foreign affairs be established ut
every provincial capital. and that none
but graduates OF such institutions bc
eligible TO certain dcsirbale Offices:
that the system OF examinations for
appointments and promotions be
changed accordingly In order to ascer.
tain the knowledge OF "expectants"
concerning foreign affairs and modern
sciences. Third. that the army and
navy OF China be reorganised on
European basis under the instruction
of European officers. When these
memorials come to be considered.
there viii be a desperate struggle
between the liberal and conservative
factions At court II the contest takes
place At Pekin. where the former may

A touching incident occurred one
day recently in St Mary's hospital,
Hoboken. A little 10-year-old lad had
been brought in, his right arm broken
and mangled by the wheels of rail
road train. He had been sent out by
his mother to pick up coai on the
tracks and was run down. In spite
of his terrible sufferings the chief
concern of the little fellow seemed to
be for his mother when she should
learn what had befallen him. please

pleaded. She loves me very much

being persuaded that his unexplained
absence would cause his mother great
re anxiety than the knowledge OF his
injury that he was reconciled to the
thought of having her summoned to
his side.
