tania was bound round Cape Race for

They stampeded and fought for the
boats, but were overcome by the of
ficers and crew. who secured control
after great trouble and prolonged
struggle with the rougher element
among the passengers, who used
knives. The women and children were
first landed and the men followed.
The crew stood by the ship. There is
Il report that one boat was upset and
20 persons drowned. The women and
children rescued were almost naked.
Drenched with spray. they were pulled
up the cliffs by the coast people. Some
of the boats were demolished in the

A Great strike.

A definite order for n general strike
of all union sheet steel workers was is
sued by President II. j. Shaffer, of the
Amalgamatcd Association of Iron,
Steel & Tin Workers. Saturday.
There are over 10000 men affected by
this order ana every mill operated by
the American Sheet Steel Co., where
union men are employed throughout
the country, will close down indefinite
ly, or until such time as settlement
of the matters in dispute has been
reached. The men explain their de-
mand for the unioniZing of all the mills
of the combine by stating that last
year the combine had taken advantage
of its position in having the non-union
mills by operating them first and leav-
ing organized mills idle until pressure
of business forced them To start them.
1t is generally agreed that the real
test of strength between the combine
and the workers will not be made UNI
til after the warm weather. During
July and August there will be no strike
benefits paid the men out of work. as
these two months are used by sheet
mills like all other iron plants for re-
pairs. After September |, if the scale
is not signed the Amalgamated Assoc
citation will be called on for the sup
port of the idle men.

Cook wants $50.

Samuel +. Cook. journal clerk of the
house, asks the Supreme Court for n
mandamus to compel Aud.-Gen. Pow
ers TO countersign his order for $50
mileage representing 800 miles from
Rock River, Alger county, to Lansing
and return. Cook claims Rock River
as his home, always voting there. Pow
ers refused to countersign the certifi-
cate, claiming that Cook was in Ian
sing at the time the legislature con-
vened, and therefore was not entitled
to the mileage. Chief Clerk Miller, of
the house, who appointed Cook, and
who is his attorney in this case, claims
that as the legislature declared Cook
entitled to the mileage, that question
of fact is determined for all time, and
cannot be reviewed. even by the jul
dietary, and much less by the auditor
general.

Agents of the German government
are securing Arizona for horses for
use in the army. Several days ago they
closed a deal with ranchers in the
northern and central parts of the ter
ritory for several hundred head, and
will buy as many more. The Arizona
range horse is peculiarly adapted to
hard campaigning. The stock comes
of excellent blood. Indeed of such
quality is the Arizona horse that United
States army buyers prefer him when
he can be secured, to the product of
any other region. The heavy demand.
however. of the past three years has
drawn heavily on the Arizona horse
ranges, and prices have risen. Army
buyers are paying from $25 to $55 and
getting horses from three to five years
old.
