TELLURIDE, Colo. July 4.-No fur
herbloodshed is feared at the smuggler-
Union mine. where three men We're kill
ed and about ten wounded in a battle
between strikers and non-union miners
yesterday.
Ofhcials of the eompay having agreed
to withdraw all men from the mine ex-
cept a few watehmen and to make no
effort TO resume work until the strike
is amicably settled or Officially de-
elared of, there seems no probability OF
further hostilities.
Three men were Killed and at least
ten wounded in the fight yesterday be-
tween 100 armed strikers and a force
of miners and deputies at the mines
The dead:
John Barthell, a miner, N of the at
lacking party.
George Nichonson, shift boss OF the
mine.
l. Luiulian, a Mexican employed as
trimmer in the mine.
! Non-union men numbering 100 were
driven over the range into ouray county
and warned never TO return. The strike
which eliminated in the outbreak yes
terday, was ordered by the miners
union on May 1 last. II followed the
refusal OF the mine management to
guarantee all miners employed mini
mum wages of SO a day. The company
resumed operations June II with a non
union force.
In furtherance of the general desire
for an amicable and peaceful settlement
of the points at issue between the union
and the company, a business men
meeting was held at Teileride Friday
at which the positive assurance is said
to have been given that the union
should not take action without consul
tation with the business men, who had
consented to serve as a committee OF
mediation and they were only awaiting
the return of Manager Collins to take
action when the outbreak occurred.
Officials of the miners union de-
clare the march on the mines yesterday
was entirely without the sanction of
the organization.

$4,000 STOLEN FROM THE

SIX BAGS or TWENTY DOLLAR
GOLD PIECES, CONTAINING FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH.
ARE MYsTERIoUsLY MISSING.
MUST HAVE BEEN TAKEN BIZ
SOME ONE INTIMATELY AC-
QuAINrED WITH MINT.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 4.-Concern-
ing the report that a shortage has been
discovered in the San Francisco branch
mint, the Chronicle to-day says
Six bags of gold, each containing
$1,000 in $40 pieces. have disappeared
from the mint. and no trace of the thief
has been discovered, although Superin-
tendent Leach and his force, assisted
oy Director of the Mint Roberts and his
staff of experts, have been at work on
tie mystery since June %. The annual
count Of the coin, amounting to $780,
600, 000, began last Friday. On Satur-
day six bags were found to be missing
from the cashiers vault. As the cash
ier's books tailed with those Of the
other departments. the officials were
forced to the conclusion that somebody
acquainted with the inside affairs of the
mint had taken the money.
Director of the Mint Roberts, Of
Washington, d. c., made the following
statement:
I'VE have been very reluctant to con
ciude that a shortage exists. We have
fought against the belief that there is
anything wrong. but after three days
work in checking calculations and 60
ing over the count, we still have to
face the situation of $50, 900 less in coin
han the books call for.
There appears 20 be no escape from
the conclusion that some one or more
persons employed in the mint has been
faithless TO the trust reposed in him or
tlom. There is a possibility of an
over payment to a depositor. 1t is i'm
probable. however. that so large an
oyerpayment could have been made"
Both superintendent Leach and Direc-
tor Dimmick declared that suspicion
could not point to Cashier Cole, since
the books were in perfect condition and
called for the amour missing.

LONDON, July Five hundred per-
sons sat down tonight at the banquet
Of the American Society in London,
given al the Hotel Cecil.
II was a remarkable gathering.
Across the upper end of the great
hall and in~terpersed between the REM
bers Of the United States embassy and
prominent Americans sat members of
the parliament and representatives OF
Great Britain's loyal colonies, all par

meeting with a warm response from the
audience, who sang the British national
anthem.
DR.. Joseph Parker. minister of the
City Temple. who proposed the toast
to President Mckinley said In the curse
of his speech:
Despite the traditional prejudice
which happily has been weakening dur
ing the past century, 1t is now well rec
ognized that no other nation can sus-
tain the relation to Great Britain which
the United States now hold and fortu-
nately for the world, Great Britain and
the United States now hold the worlds
peace in the hollow of their hands"
Three cheers were then given for
President Mckinley and these were
thrice repeated, after which an addi-
tional three we're given for Old Glory
at the suggestion OF James NJ. Beck, L.

Evidence of the e~ver-growing inter-

AN EMERGENCY CASE.

Copyright, 1900, by Daily Story Pub Co.
The hospital fronted on n little side
street and was a low brick building with
outside steps leading to its front door. A
gas lamp flared gustily In the wind, a
broken pane giving ingress ito the wan
dering breezes. The alley to the rear was
one of those blank looking city byways
that smell of dust. dirt and vegetables.
The moon looked down from a waste of
grey clouds and smobe from the factory
chimneys nearby floated lazlly skyward.
A wagon ratified over the nearest street
crossing, turned Into the alley and halted
by the back entrance of the hospital.
Two policemen stepped from the vehicle
bearing a stretcher. On the canvas lay a
man with white face and closed eyes. a
corpse-like object in the half-light. They
carried him up the rear stairs and raped
sharply at the door.
The door opened swiftly and smoothly.
and a girl In the uniform of the Hospital
nurses appeared, and the officers hurried
In with their gruesome, burden. Presently
they emerged and climbing into the am
bulance drove away.
"A cool little woman that" said one of
them.
lone OF the finest said the bluecoat
who had been addressed. E
The next morning Frank Hamilton woke
with a duh pain in his left side that
brought back the night before when he
had been caught between the cars In the
switch yard. He had remembered the face
Of the night nurse. a pale face with dark
eyes and framed heavily with the duskiest
of tresses. The day nurse was a little
slip of a blonde who slipped around in the
corridors and halls of the hospital as un-
obtrusively as a mouse.
Hamilton was OF good family but was
down on his luck" from rash speculation
and had accepted a job In the railroad
yards rather than write home for money.
He was of an impulsive nature and rath-
er emotional and hopeful that : man able
to stand steadily up against misfortune.
He waited curiousiy for the night nurse
to make her appearance. Presently she
came. and he noted that she took no more
interest In him than she seemed to take

with him. Her attitude and demeanor
were strictly professional. very calm and
