DESTINED FOR THE Beers.
British Steamer Detained for Carrying
Contraband Of War,

London, Nov. 20.-The government
has caused the detention of British
steamer which was fitting out, osten-
sibly for a pleasure cruise, at Victoria
docks, on the ground that the vessel
was laden with contraband of war
destined for the Beers.
A searchlight fixed to the steamers
mast brought her under suspicion and
it is said the subsequent search dis
closed four field guns, quantities of
raw material for the manufacture of
powder, and that the vessel was fitted
up inside to accommodate from 500
to 500 men. The captain of the

on account of the expectations of

would not make at this time any
statement in regard to the matter but
it is known that he regards the ship
ments as natural movement in view
Of the quike general demand for
money in Europe, and that he believes
there is nothing in the situation to
cause the least uneasiness On the
contrary, treasury. officials say that
the business affairs of Europe within
the past few years have become so
intimately connected with Gur own
that a monetary stringency or dis
turbance of any character there should
be deplored and, if possible, relieved
for the common good. At this time
there is an unusual demand for money
IN several European financial centers,
and it is to be expected, it is said.
that United States investors would
take advantage of the increased inter-

HeVe, however, that the shipments
will assume large proportions, espe-
clally as any considerable withdrawals
would so increase rates at home as to
make foreign shipments improbable.

GOOD FOR ONE YEAR.
Tin Plate Workers Reject the Three.
Year Clause in the Scale.

Pittsburg, Nov. 20.-The tin plate
workers of the Amalgamated associa-
ton have voted unanimously against
the proposition OF the late strike set
Element to have their scale hold for
three yeazs. The officers of the Amer
lean Tin Plate company in New York
nave been, notified of the decision and
the scale will therefore terminate with
in one year. The unanimous decision
of the subject shows the purpose of
the men of the recognized union mills
to stand up with their brother mem
bers in the mills made non-union by
the strike settlement. The tin plate
workers are satisfied with the scale
wage provided for and would be will
ing to have it continued for three
years but are averse to the restrictions
placed upon organization

Vincennes, Ind, Nov. 2O.-Four hun.
dred union coal miners from Washing.
ton, Cannelburg, Petersburg, Prince.
ton and Montgomery arrived here at
an early hour and at o'clock made an
attack upon the non-union miners en-
ployed at the Prospect Hill mines,
near this city. AS a result two men
are fatally hurt and a half dozen more
are seriously injured The union
miners formed at the Union station
and marched to the mines. Just as
che men of the day shift were going
on duty they were attacked and re-
ceived horrible punishment. The
union men asked for the foreman
William Scott, and when told that he
was in bed said: *fAll right, we will
get him. and started after him. In
the melee that followed Scott and his
family defended themselves as best
they could, but were rewerless.
Scott was badly beaten about the
mead and face, and W. P. Collins, an
attorney of Washington, a broth erin
law of Scott, sustained injuries that
may prove fatal. He had rib broken
and an eye badly injured. Henry
Hannery, miner, was so badly beaten
by the men that he had to be removed
to the city, where he could be given
medical attention, and his injuries are
such that he may die. Mrs. Scott was
slapped in the face and when she re-
senEed the attack, it is alleged that
one of the men drew a gun and told
he he
Would Make Shorl Work Of Her
if she persisted in her foolishness.
Otis Scott, the 15-year-old son. was
knocked down, as was also the TO-
year-old daughter of Scott.
Others that suffered at the visitors
hands were Robert McDaniels, John
Scott and Kenner Mars. All are badly
bruised about the head and face. It
is said there that no word was spoken
to Scott until the fight began. In the
fight the stove was knocked over and
a big hole was burned in the floor.
Some Of the miners, however, picked
up the stove and extinguished the fire.
The house was badly damaged. AL
most every window was broken and
one CT the doors was battered down.
Only 40 men are employed and the
mine is run on the cooperative plan
and Independently The operators
claim that they cannot pay the union
scale and run but say they pay the
highest price possible, and in some
instances pay more than scale prices.
They claim to mine from so to 60 tons
day, and thereby are able to give
a few men employment. There is
great confusion over the attack and
another raid is expected The union
miners say they will force the mine
to unionize or close up, but one of the
two must be done. Further trouble
is anticipated

Too Many Bosses in the Union.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Because of the
preponderance of ''bosses," or employ
ers, in the National Transfers union,
the Chicago branch of the union has
withdrawn from the national body and
taken out incorporation papers under
the laws of the state of Illinois. About
$500 transfers have membership in

tracts on Account Of Storm.
Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 2O.-The Cana.
dian shippers have reported to the
Dominion government that, owing to
the exceptionally bad weather on the
upper lakes during the past two weeks.
every Canadian boat has lost at least
one trip. This reduces their tonnage
for grain from Fort William to Cana.
dian ports by at least 100000 bushels
and seriously hampers them in filing
contracts for wheat which they have
sold or contracted for with the rail
ways, and every grain shipper will
have to default on his contracts. They
have therefore suggested giving Amer.
lean boats the privilege of carrying
grain from Fort William to the Cana
dian ports for the remainder of the
season. The matter will come before
the cabinet at once.

ONE OF BASS LlTTLE's STORIES,

The following story rehearsed
by Congressman Little at the ex-
Confederate reunion recently,
near Charleston, is illustrative Of
Arkansas. A man living in
Maine, who knew Arkansas only
as we know the dark continent,
concluded to visit the state.
Taking his life in his hands, as he
thought, he lit out for Arkansas,
and, entering the state on the
northwest, he beheld one vast
forest of apple trees, where the
finest apples the world ever saw
grow. He wended his way east
ward into the richest zinc fields
known to the civilized world,
thence southwark into the fertile
valleys, where the finest cot on
known to the world grows; thence
west to the pineries, where the
finest lumber is being cut and
shipped in every direction by the
hundreds of thousands of car
loads, thence north and west into
the coal fields, where the supply
is ineXhaustible of finest coal.
And the fellow dreamed that he
died and went to heaven, and was
being shown around over Para
disc, and he came to a beautiful
square, occupied by the finest
men and most beautiful women
he ever saw, but they were
chaine1 to the wall, and he asked
"Old Peter" what this repre-.
sented, and why these men were
chained to the wall, and Peter
replied that it represented Ar
kansas, and that he had to keep
the men chained; that if they
were turned loose they would 60
back to Arkansas in less than
twenty-four hours.-Ex.

How characteristic of American

where sixty-seven persons were

the passengers made a rush for

SENATOR BAlLEY'S PREDICTION
In St. Louis recently, Senator
Bailey, Democrat, of Texas,
said:
Theodore Roosevelt will never
be President. The people will
not trust him. His notion that a
life of activity must be a life of
strife will never become popular
in America. The people will not
trust advocates of the strenuous
life, Teddy will meet the fate of
Clay. The people prefer a man
like Cleveland rather than Blaine,
and they turn from a man like
Bryan to a Mckinley, because
the people demand conservatism
in an executive.
"He may receive the Republi-
can presidential nomination,
said Senator Bailey, "but if he
does he will fare like every man
who has gone to defeat before
him from having convinced the
people he was liable to do unex-
pected things"
