Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has
been invited by the President to spend
next Wednesday with him at Oyster
Bay. He will be the guest of the Presi
dent that night and expects to return to
Washington on Saturday. While at
Oyster Bay it is probable that the secre-
tary will discuss the question of selection
of a successor to Assistant Secretary
SpauIding, who, it is understood, will re-
sign from the department Affairs at
the New York custom house and the
Ellis Island immigration station will also
doubtless receive consideration during
the visit.
Major General John r. Brooke, COM
mander of the Department of the East,
will end his career on the active list of
the army tomorrow. General Arthur
Macarthur will temporary succeed to
the department command, awaiting the

from the Philippines in the fall.
Filipinos travelling abroad can only

loyal to the constitution and to bear
true allegiance to the Government of
the United States. Ambassador White
denied the application for passport as
above.
Minister Bowen cables the State De-
partment from Caracas that President
Castro has abandoned his plan to attack

CAPT. STRONG MISSING.

New York, July LIT is said that
Captain Putnam Bradlee Strong has
been mysteriously missing from his
home at Hastings-on-the- Hudson. for
several days. The former Lady Hope,
for whom he gave up rank and position,
does not know where he is, it is said
nor do his relatives. Captain Strong's
family and friends have engaged private
detectives to look for him. Captain
Strong has recently suffered greatly
from wound received in the Philip
pines, and hiseefriends fear his mind may
have become affected because of intense,
pain. Miss Yohe remains at the cottage
at Hastings. She is quoted as saying
that Captain Strong left Tuesday and
that she does not know whether or not
he is coming back.

AMuRDEROUS NEGRO.

variola Landing, Iowa, July ia
negro laborer named Roger Brown, en-
plOyed at a railroad camp near here,
yesterday murdered two other members
of the camp, one the white foreman. A
negro named Ellis had asked Brown for
cigarette and quarrel ensued. The
white foreman, whose name could not be
learned, stepped in and tried to stop the
quarrel. He could not do so before
Brown had crushed Ellis's head in with
an axe, killing him. Brown then turn
ed on the foreman and slashed his head
off with the same axe. Another negro
tried to save the white foreman's life and
had one hand cut off in the melee. A
lynching party was quickly organized
and Brown would have been lynched
Immediately had he not been hurried to
the Natchez jail Trouble is very likely
to follow and lynching will doubtless
result.

THE STRIKE.

indianapolis, Ind, July IA re-
port agreed upon at midnight by the
miners committee assures the adoption
of the Mitchell plan. With the adop-
ton of this plan the anthricite strikers
will resume the battle with energy.
They hope to be able to stand siege II
necessary, that will last all winter. The
fight, however, will be lost or won long
before that time. There Is authority
from the operators side that if the
miners can maintain the present shut
down until October they will win. At
that time the demand for coal will be so
great that the operators will have to meet
it. Information has been received here
that the operators have decided to take
the offensive without delay. They pro-
pose, it is said, to start five breakers
next week. These are located at Scran-
ton, Wilkesbarre and the Panther Creek
Valley.

LIGHTNING AND STORMS.

The residence of Franz Frederick,
located about two miles east of Hyatts-
vile, Nd, was struck by lightning dur
ing a severe storm Thursday afternoon,
and burned to the ground with all of
the household belongings. Meme of the
family was injured. Three dogs who
had run into the house from the storm
were instantly killed. Many trees were
urr)oted by the wind or struck by
lightning during the storm.
Arthur Goodyear, aged about twenty
years, son of the late Luke Goodyear,
was struck by lightning and instantly
killed at Elkton, Md, yesterday after
noon during "a severe thunderstorm
which passed over that section. He was
engaged in thrashing wheat on the Alex
ander farm when he met his death. The
storm was accompanied by heavy fall
of rain and hail
Denver, Col, was swept by an UNI
usual wind storm yesterday followed by
a drenching rain. The fall of rain was
half an inch. W. p Swallows, prom
inent merchant and postmaster at Ko-
komo, Col, was instantly killed there
by a stroke of lightning yesterday.
Heavy rains in central Iowa Thurs
day and yesterday are sending a flood
down upon prosperous Missouri farmers,
which will ruin them and cause losses
aggregating, at conservative estimates,
81, 500, 900.
Fred Wieshbrodt, thirty years old,
and son and daughter Of Jacob p.
aged fourteen and fifteen years,
were struck by lightning
near Millstadt, in St. Clair county, ILL.,,
yesterday and instantly killed. The
same stroke killed two horses hitched to
a wagon in which they were riding.

THE DAsTARDLY act of the miscreant
who threw bottle into the window OF an
electric car almost within the city limits
last night and seriously injured two ladies
has aroused the just indignation of
many in this community, and it is to be
regretted that the officers who subsequent
" secured the locality were unable to
find the scamp who committed the act.
The deed was malicious, cruel and fiend-
ish, and the injury inflicted was upon
two ladies who had in no manner incur
red the displeasure of the person who
committed the wanton deed. Shooting
at trains and throwing stones through the
windows in the night are no unusual
occurrences hereabouts, and the object OF
the perpetrators in injuring innocent
people has never been clearly understood.
1t is supposed by some that the acts are
committed by people who nurture griev-
ances against the railroad company. The
passengers on the trains, however, have
done nothing to incite their resentment,
and why the fends should run the risk
of iniuring innocent people when they
attempt to deface the property of the
company can only be answered by
characters who seem to have lost all
sense of humanity.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 10. 1902

IT Is authoritatively stated that the
Pope is intensely displeased at the way
in which the commission of cardinals
has conducted the negotiations with
Judge Taft in the matter of the friars in
the Philippines. 1t is said that, besides
annulling the procedure of the commits
sion of cardinals, the Pope has sum-
marily dissolved it, expressing his view
that the American demands were rea-
sonable and signifying his readiness to
treat with Judge Taft personally. This
statement will afford great relief TO
thousands who apprehended serious
friction between the United States and
the Vatican on the question of expelling
the friars from the Philippine Islands.
Many had supposed vexatious issue
would characterize the next Presidential
election by virtue of the standpoint as
sumed by Mr.. Roosevelt in reference TO
the friars, and that conflict would re-
suit between those of both political par
ties who are inimical to the Catholic
Church and others who believe the
Presidents act is high-handed. The
cloud, however, has been short-lived
and from present indications the same
friendly relations which have ever
existed between this country and Rome
will be maintained. The clearing of
the sky may prove disappointment to
some but it is hailed with delight by
equally as many.

The STRIKE fever is still raging, and
tne hnal result of the trouble among the
miners IN Pennsylvania is still uncertain.
1t has been computed at the indianapolis
convention that it will cost $500 600
weekly to support all the men now on
strike in Pennsylvania. An assessment
# 81 per week will bring in $3.50, 600 a
week; an assessment of 81 per week upon
ach member of the union will result in
shout the same sum. This will leave
$3.50, 600 to raise each week from out
ide sources. The miners of Illinois
have voted donation of $50, 900 to the
-nthracite strike. The president of the
chicago freight-handlers' association has
ssued call for mass meeting tomor-
