SHOTS FIRED
Strikers Attack Met by Cour-

49, ~ - COaAA-
ageOus Woman.
Wellsville, Ohio, Aug. 3.-Deeply en-
ragged by being outwitted by the mill off,
clals, who yesterday afternoon again sue
ceeded in running nine new mill workers
into the mill, the strikers became desper-
ate last night and asserted that no more
accessions must be made to the mill
workers. Accordingly, more than hun-
dred of them guarded both entrances to
the mill all night. They made e.; -ra ef-
forts to be vigilant when the midnight
train from Pittsburg came to town, but
were unable to locate any more strike
brokers.
About o'clock this morning they went
to the house of mill worker named
Henry Phillips. Phillips wife boards
three of the men who came here few
days ago to work at the mill. The strik-
ers pelted the house with stones, breaking
nearly all the windows, and demanded
that the mill men who were boarding
there come out. Several shots were fired
with revolvers by the men, but no one
was hurt. Mrs Phillips is plucky wom-
an, and, armed with a gun, she went out
into the crowd Of strikers and dared them
to touch her. She then took the men who
were boarding with her, including her
husband, to the mill; she walked beside
them with a loaded revolver in her hand
and at the same time daring the strik-
ers to interfere. She got the four men
inside the mill and then turned and put
the mob. as she calls them, to rout She
says that she knows many Of them and
will have them arrested to-day.
Some interesting developments are
looked for before Monday. The plant is
now running five of its mills, four OF them
double and one of them single turn.
Manager Brookman declares that the mill
will be running in full capacity by Mon-
day.

DIVORCE IN JAPAN
Why Lady Francis Hope Is Crossing
the Pacific.
SHE WILL MARRY CAPT. STRONG
Her Counsel Says She Supported Her
Husband and Denies u Financial
Story.


New York, Aug. 3.-Lady Francis Hope,
who is on the ocean bound for Japan
with Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong, will
try to obtain a divorce in the Japanese
courts and will marry the man for whose
sake she has brought upon herself fresh
notoreity. At her wits end to escape un
happy marriage ties and to marry the man
of her choice, she has sought refuge in
the far east and will there look for q
means of unravelling the present snarl.
Emanuel M. Friend, counsel for Lady
Francis, said yesterday that there was
absolutely no truth in the report that
Lord Francis had obtained legal separ-
alton from his wife or that she had re-
ceived one penny from the Duke of New
Castle or from any member of Lord
Hopes family. Said Mr. Friend:
On the contrary Lord Hope is indebted
to May Yohe for large sum, representing

HYDRAULIC MINING
English and Canadian Syndicate in
the kIOndike.

Ottawa Ont, Aug. "a large English
and Canadian syndicate Of capitalists has
been granted a permit for the division of
the Klondike river throughout the entire
district for the purpose of hydraulic min
ing. The existing rights of miners are
preserved, but even where rights have al
ready been established the grantees will
have the right Of supplying the holders
with watr for mining purposes at the OPP
tion of the latter. The grantees, amongst
other matters, are bound to expend $780,
900 in the construction of works within
1902. There is reason to believe that the
promoters have succeeded in promoting
company to operate under the name of the
British-Canadian syndicate.

American State Department
Halls a New Era.
NEW FOREIGN BOARD
No Probability That Minister WI
Will Be Recalled.
PENSIONERS IN THE NORTHWEST
NO Probability of Recommendation
That New Agency Be
Established.

From The Journal BHreGE. Rooms 10, POss
BUtIdiNg, WdshtIi0tOn.
Washington, Aug. 3.-The Chinese min
lister, Wu-Ting fang, is pleased with the
news which comes from Peking in re-
gard to the establishment of a board
of foreign affairs to take the place of
the old Tsung Lii Yamen. Our state de-
partment also halls this move as the
beginning Of a new era. 1t is regarded
as the formal opening of China to free
intercourse with the outside world, COM
mercial and political. 1t was in compli-
ance with demand made by the United
States through Special Commissioner
Roekhill that the edict of July "a was
issued, and in so doing the emperor full
fills one of the most important condi-
tions necessary to peace.
No intimation has been received at the
Chinese legation confirming the report
that Minister Wu-Ting-fang is to be re-
called. While such an event is not i'm
possible, in the opinion of those who are
best able to judge there are many rea-
sons why it is looked upon as improb-
able. The formation of this new foreign
office is in itself a strong indication of
its improbability. The Chinese statesmen
who compose it, and those who are at
present most influential in the affairs of
the empire, are the radicals They are
the more enlightened ones and are averse
to the traditional policy of seclusion and
unfriendliness to foreigners. Of this
party is Mr.. WI. Moreover, his services
during the late unpleasantness are re-
garded as of the greatest Importance to
his government, and unless he should in
innate desire to return to his native
land, it is believed he can remain here
indefinitely.
While the foreign ministers would
hardly care to interfere in such a matter.
1t Is fact that some pressure would be
brought TO bear to prevent any design
for Minister Wu's recall at present At
fairs are progressing, satisfactorily; but
are still far from settled. This govern
ment feels that there is no man whom
the emperor can send here who would be
so well equipped to handle the business
In hand as Mr.. WI, and would feel justi-
ned IN expressing an informal opinion that
he be permitted to complete the task of
reconstruction going on. In this the
other powers would doubtless lend their
moral Endorsement.

until after the cases are disposed of by
the courts. 1t is expected that they will
be heard in September at Butte or in No

NEGROES DRIVEN OFF
Ptckets in Cleveland Round Up q
Dozen of Them.


Dozen of Them.
Cleveland, Aug. 3.-As a result Of the
report that negroes are being brought
into the city to supplant white workmen
IN the Newberg mills of the United States
steel corporation, the idle plants are now
pelng plcketed by members of the Anal
gamated association. Five plants are
now idle, the company recently having
closed down the 8, IL and 18 inch mills
1or the announced purpose of making re-
pairs. The pickets late last night found
dozen colored men asleep near the New
ourg mills. Upon being aroused the
negroes declared they had no intention Of
going to work. They were, however, un-
aDle TO give good account of themselves.
They were advised that their presence
might cause trouble and that they would
better leave the city at once. The COL
ored men lost no time in getting out OF
town. Local Amalgamated leaders de-
clare they have received reliable infor-
nation that an attempt will be made by
the steel corporation to start the 9, II and
IL inch Newberg mills Monday The
union men say they will do everything
possible to prevent this unless a settle
ment of the strike shall be reached in
the meantime.
Pittsburg, Aug. B. report was re-
ceived in McKeesport to-day that two car
loads OF negroes were coming from Vir-
glnla to take the places of strikers at the

called a meeting Immediately and appoint
ed committee of twenty men to go and
meet the train at ConnellsviIle. and, If
possible, persuade the men to return to
Virginia. Great excitement prevails and
trouble is expected if the committee shall
be unable to stop the negroes at Con-

PROSECUTING

PROSECUTING Assistant Attorney
General Burch, who
TIMBER FRAUDS. is in charge of the
prosecution Of tim
Der frauds in Montana, said to-day that
he did not care to discuss at length the
dismissal of the indictments against Girls
wold and Jameson at Helena yesterday,
which was characterized by Judge Knowles
as ''reprehensible.'
Perhaps the department is in possess
sion Of some information regarding these
cases which is not known to the learned
judge" said Judge Burch, "and which, if
he had known about it, might have
changed his views materially. In direct
ing the dismissal of the indictments
against these two men the department
simply followed precedent set in thou
sands of cases and acted according to its
best judgment That is all care to say
about the case at present"
From other sources it is learned that
the prosecution hopes through Griswold
and Jameson to secure the conviction
OF some of the principals in the frauds.
The government thinks this is a better
plan than to let all the cases fall through
for want of evidence. Special ATTORNEY
Maynard has been directed to return to

NO NEW
AGENCY FOR
PENSIONS.

would be recon-
mended for the northwest, owing to the
increased number of pensioners on the
rolls of the Milwaukee agency. It was
also suggested that the new agency might
be located at st. Paul. So far as can be
ascertained at the pension bureau no
such suggestion has reached Commission
er Evans, and If one were made he
would probably make an adverse report
on it. The reason for such a report
would be the fact that the number of
pensioners paid from the Milwaukee
agency is fewer now than it was two
years ago.
At the close of the fiscal year 1899, there
were 51,7S3 pensioners under all acts on
the rolls at that agency. The report for
1900 showed but 5O,670, a decrease of
lib. The decrease was caused bv an
order issued by Commissioner Evans that
all pensioners should be paid from
agencies in whose territory they resided.
An examination disclosed that many per
sons VINO were being paid from the Mil
waukee agency resided in the jurisdic-
tion OF other agencies, most of them
having gone further west to the states
covered by the agency at San Francisco
Their names were transferred to the San
Francisco roll and they are now being
paid from there.
During the past year there has been
net gain of 1876 pensioners on the Mil
waukee rolls, the total June 80. being
5o,S06, as against 5067O on the same date
last year. OF this total about q, 900 pen
sicners live in Wisconsin, between 49,
600 and 1900 in Minnesota 1900 in North
Dakota and 5000 In South Dakota. To
establish new agency at ST. Paul would
divide the roll of the Milwaukee agency
and leave it with fewer pensioners to pay
than any other agency in the United
States, except those at Augusta, Me-, and
Concord, N. H, at each of which but 49,
600 pensioners are paid.
Pension Commissioner Evans policy is
one of consolidation rather than addi-
tion to the number of agencies. He thinks
that the service can be better performed
at few agencies than at many All at
tempts at consolidation, however, have
beeen blocked by politicians, who feared
the loss of places which might be filled
by the faithful. To divide the Milwaukee
agency would result in considerable dis
organization, according to the commits
sioner, and that is one reason he would
oppose the location OF an agency at ST.
Paul, il the pensioners to be paid from
1t were to be taken from the Milwaukee
rolls. Another reason for his opposition
is the increased expense, which he would
not sanction as being good business pol

with a promise of happy life before
her. Many sincere friends most
deeply deplore her untimely death.

OF THE city water supply of
Sterling the Journal of that
town says: 'The city owns and
manages the waterworks system.
Four six inch sand points, driven
to a depth of thirty feet bring a
beautiful supply of the purest
water filtered through a layer OF
course gravel. Lawn hose is
kept running almost continually
yet no impression is made on the
supply. The principal streets
are kept wet down, and very
little dust is blown through the
business portion of town." This
ought to set people of Great
Bend to thinking. Municipal
ownership OF the water supply
station would be the most
economical enterprise our people
could go into.

ADVERTISING is simply and

1t is the best method of bring

state, without fear Of successful
