STRIKERS FIRED UPON.
Thres Men Shot While Trying to Enter ,
West Virginia Mine.

Matewan, w. Va, June %. -
Strained relations between the union
and non-union miners here has re-
suited in bloodshed. Yesterday seve-
raj hundred union miners who are
on strike marched in q body against
the Maritime mines of this palce,
where non-union men were at work.
They tried to effect an entrance, but
the operators, with 20 guards armed
with Winchesters, blocked the en-
trance. The non-union miners were
headed by Superintendent Lambert,
and when the union men persisted in
ther attempt he gave the order to fire.
Fully so shots were fred. Two union
miners were fatality shot and another
dangerously wounded. The union
men did not return the fire, but dis
persed.
All the union miners throughout
Mingo are collecting, and serious
trouble is expected tomorrow, when
they will again try to effect an
entrance to the Maratime mines.

NAvIoATED HE'LL GATE.
Big BattIe.Ship Massachusetts Successful,
Passed the Narfows.


New York, June 22.-Without the
assistance of q pilot and to demon.
strate that first class battle ship
could be navigated through He'll Gate
successfully, Captain Henry M. Man
ney took the big battle ship Massa-
chusetts through the narrows today.
It was the first time in the history Of
the navy that any commander of a
war vessel of this class ever dared
attempt the feat, and river craft and
the shores were filled today to witness
the trip of the Massachusetts,. The
passing of the mammoth fighting
machine through the dangerous
waters of He'll Gate successfully
proves that in case of hostilities with
a foreign power, a battle ship of the
same draft as the Massachusetts,, if
she passed the Notifications of Will
let's Point and Fort Schuyler, could
repeat the performance of the Massa-
chusetts. Secretary Long has taken
official noticeof Captain Manney g
feat, and issued orders that no naval
vessel the size of the Massachusetts,
shall use the He'll Gate narrows ex-
cept in cases of great emergency.

Washington, June A.-Secretary
today issued the ordero the president
establishing civil government in the
Philippines. The order follows:
"On and after the 4th day of July,
1901, unless it shall be otherwise
ordered, the. president of the Philip
pine commission will exercise the
executive authority in all civil affairs
in the government of the Philippine
islands heretofore exercised in such
affairs by the military governor of
the Philippines, and to that end,
William H. Taft, president of the
said commission, is hereby appointed
civil governor of the Philippine
islands. Such executive authority
will be exercised under and in con-
formity to the instructions of the
Philippine commission, dated April
7, 1900, and subject to the approval
and control of the secretary of war
of the United States. s
'The municipal and provincial
civil governments which have been or
shall hereafter be established in said
islands, and all persons performing
duties appertaining to the Offices Of
civil government in said islands, will,
in respect to such duties, report to
the said civil governor. The power
to appoint civil officers heretofore
vested in the PHILIPPINE commission
and the military governor will be ex-
ercised by the civil governor, with the
advice and consent of the commits
sion.
"The military governor of the Phil
ippines is hereby relieved from the
performance, on and after the said
4th day of July, 1901, of the civil
duties ,hereinbefore described, but his
authority will continue to be exer-
cised as heretofore in those districts
in which instruction against the
authority of the United States con-
tinues to exist, or. in which public
order is not sufficiently restored to
enable provincial civil governments
to be established under the instruc-
tions to the commission, dated April
Z, 1900. ia'

SWEPT TO DEATH.

Bluefelds, w. Va, June A. This
section has just been visited BY .
flood, the extent of which in al prob
ability will equal or exceed that OF
Johnstown in 1889, 20 far - the loss
of property 10 concerned. Early yes
terday morning, shortly after mid
night, heavy downpour OF rain be-
gan, accompanied by . severe electric
storm, which increased in volume,
continuing for several hours. The
storm continued throughout the
entire night and day and At 10 A. NJ,
though the storm had abated, the
lowering clouds threatened another
terrific downpour at any moment.
Many miles Of the Norfolk 4 West
ern railroad track, bridges and tele-
graph lines are entirely destroyed
and communication is entirely cut
of west OF Elkhorn, 90 that il is i'm
possible to learn the full extent OF the
loss of life and property, but officials
Of the coal companies located In the
district have sent out messengers to
Elkhorn, the terminus Of both tele-
graphic and railroad communication,
and have received q report that . con-
servative estimate a. to the loss OF
life will easily reach 200. Some Of
the drowned are among the most
prominent citizens Of the coal fields.
The little town Of Keystone, with
population of 1900, seems the
greatest sufferer, practically the entire
town being washed away. This'town
is the principal one in the Pocahon-
tas coal fields, and is located near its
center. 1t was to great extent the
headquarters from which the mining
population purchased supplies.
A great number of the coal and
coke plants throughout the Pocahon-
tas district are reported practically
destroyed and are in some instances
entirely washed away. Owing to the
high water which has flooded the dis
trict and prevents communication,
anything like q correct estimate Of
the loss Of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainable
the loss to the property will easily
reach q, 600, 600.
A rough estimate places the num-
ber Of bridges washed away between
Bluefields and Vivian Yards, dis
tance of % miles, at from Is to 20.
and from present indications it will
be impossible to run trains through
to Vivian and points west of there
under a week or 10 days. This viii
render it impossible to get relief into
the stricken districts, and with those
who escaped with their lives, home
less and without food, indescribable
suffering is inevitable.

VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION.


injured
Kalama, Wash, June A.-Three
men were killed and FIVE others in
jured by the premature explosion OF
gblast on the Oregon 4 Washington
Railroad. The scene Of the accident
was in . deep cut about half mile
south Of this place.
The cause Of the explosion will per-
haps never be known, as the men who
were working at the drill hole were
instantly killed. About Is men were
working in the cut, and from the sur
vivors it was learned that two men
were loading IL foot drill hole with
No. 2 giant powder, and had put in
about 100 sticks. II is supposed
that they had just been tamping the
powder with an iron bar, as they had
sometimes done before, when the ex-
plosion occurred.

Japanese Contempt OF Pain.

A resident of Philadelphia, who took
into his house as a valet Japanese
boy, was somewhat startled the other
day by the frank remark of his serv:
ant.
The gentleman was walking about
the room in his bare feet when he
stubbed his toe and tore the nail.
While the valet was putting on his
masters stockings he happened to
touch the injured toe, whereupon the
gentleman uttered sharp cry of pain
and told him to be more careful. The
boy smiled, looked up into his mas
ter's face, and said:
"You great, big baby"
"What's that?" asked the astonished
gentleman.
''In my country" went on the little
Japanese, "when baby hurt himself,
baby cry. But after he five years, boy
or man hurt himself, he say: 1T make
no natter"
The gentleman admitted the wisdom
of the argument, but pleaded that he
was too old to attempt to acquire jap
anese stnicism.-Youth's Companion.

ABLACKSMITH'S STRANGE EX-
PERIENCE.

Goodland, Kan, June 3.-N. E. Al
bertson, our leading blacksmith, has
been a great sufferer from Rheuma-
tism. He was so bad that he could not
sleep for the great pain in his arms
and shoulders. He had been afflicted
for years, but lately he was so much
worse, that he thought he would have
to give up his shop altogether.
Then a strange thing happened. A
friend of his recommended new med
icine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said
to be a cure for Rheumatism. He
commenced to use them and at once
began to recover. His pain has all left
him, and he is q well man to-day, and
entirely free from any symptom OF
Rheumatism.
To say he is thankful, is putting il
very mildly. He is delighted.
Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve great
credit for having cured this very Sc
we're and almost hopeless case.
From recent reports, there does not
seem to be anything that they will not
cure, as very bad cases Of Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism,
and Heart Trouble, have been cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after hav-
ing been given up by the best doctors.

SPORT In WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain IL Ripening
and His Stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
Life of the farmer carries with 1t
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
In there to be found anywhere else
such q pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing Of
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where saw q
man drop 70 mallards one morning,
and bring them all to bag, too. for
they dropped in open water or on
fat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is bit of marshy ground, cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled, and
. short drive will bring you to q
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"a very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fiat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day you
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"
Particulars regarding settlement of
the lands of Western Canada can be
had from any agent of the Canadian
Government, whose advertisement ap-
pears elsewhere in your columns.
