LOSING A MILLION A MONTH.
Senator Clark VIII Not Grant His Miners
an Eight-Hour Day and the Plant
Is Closed.

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 19.-United
States Senator Clark has shut down
the United Verde copper mine, which
brings in a revenue of $12, 900 year
~, because he refuses to grant his
miners demands for an eight-hour
day. AS he pithily put it: 81 would
rather let the grass grow in the
streets of Jerome than grant my men
an eight-hour day" Those who know
Senator Clark know that he will adj
here to his resolution. He has studied
the eight-hour movement, and he does
not believe that it should prevail in
coal or copper mines. He is losing
$1,OOO,OOO a month by the lockout of
his miners, but he will keep the mine
closed down for year rather than
surrender.

ed dynamo, and the vessel was towed
a mile away before the electric cur
rent was turned on. The explosion
was heard in many portions of the
city. Large quantities of fish were

LAID WASTE BY WAR.
Gen. Macarthur Gives Gloomy Report of q
Portion of the PhiIIppines-Pacified,
But Not Tranquilized.

Chicago, Aug. 19.-The Record
Herald prints to-day the following
statement obtained from Gen. Mac
Arthur by an interviewer in San
Francisco, the general having ar
rived yesterday at that city from Ma
Mia:
War has wrecked the Philippines
and laid waste whole districts. The
people in many districts have re-
lapsed into barbarism. The best con-
ditions prevail in northern Luzon.
You may say that the whole territory
is pacified, but not tranquilized, but
it will not be many months before
law and order are observed every
where. While the conditions are not
perfect, they are gratifying. A few
groups of armed insurgents are still
at large, but they will soon surrender,
as their power is broken and they
are not being aided by the natives.
These natives have come to see that
surrender does not mean death, and
they are coming every week with
their rifles"

advice, he is known to contend the

ten years. State department officials
do not admit that cable communica-
tons is interrupted, but even if it is,
they declare that this situation would
not be a novel one. Many times in the
last decade the department has been
instrumental in sending ships into
southern waters because of reports of
existing disturbances.

100000 for Three Years Il shown.

London, Aug. 17.lThe Indian Sec
rotary, Lord George Hamilton, in the

the financial statement for India. He
said that in spite of three years of
famine and acute depression the three
agricultural staples-tea, indigo and
cottOn-were able to present the most
favorable balance sheet since India
came under the crown. The relief ex-
penditures for three years tota1ed
e 15,OOO,O00 but the same period
showed a surplus of E 6,377,O0O. The
seasons rains, though below normal,

and there was a prospect of a material
reduction in the relief expenditures.
The results of the gold standard pol
icy had more than realized the govern
ment's expectations.

prepare for sea. She is very slow,
however, making not more than six
knots, and, as the distance to Panama
is about 2,7OO miles, it would require

All Against Colombia.
New York, Aug. 17.-News has been
received in this country involving
Venezuela, Nicaragua and Ecuador in
the attempt of Gen. Rafael Tribe
Tribe, the Colombian rebel leader, to
overthrow the government of Colon
bia. A year ago it was known to
the Colombian authorities that the
rebels under Tribe were receiving
material assistance from these re-
publics, and recent developments and
information received by Colombian
secret service agents confirm the be-
lief that these countries are prepar-
ing open and simultaneous attacks
upon Colombia. A war among these
republics would be one of the most
disastrous conflicts in the history of
South America. The population of
Colombia is an unknown quantity, no
accurate information having been
collected since 1871. An estimate in
1881 placed it at 3,878, 900, and a still
later estimate, given in 1898, places
the total number of inhabitants at f.,
100000, including some 100000 uncivil-
lied Indians Venezuela has popula-
ton of 2,444,816; Ecuador's popula-
ton is estimated at 1871 61, and the
number of inhabitants of Nicaragua is
given as 100000.
