STAND Their GROUND
Breton Peasants Guarding the Pro.
scribed Schools Of the Nuns.
EFFORTS TO CLOSE THEN RESENTED.


Paris, July Pa serious situa-
ton is prevailing in the Catholic
country around Brest on account of
the closing Of the unauthorized
schools. The countryside has taken
up arms and is determined to resist
any attempt at the forcible execu.
ton Of the orders Of the premier.
An incident Thursday evening at
Saint-Meen, IS miles from Brest,
shows the spirit of the peasantry.
Two newspaper men Of Brest drove
there in an automobile to investi-
gate the situation at the Sisters
school. Immediately after they had
entered the commune a boy sounded
bugle and crowds Of peasants
swarmed from the fields, armed with
pitchforks and ironbound sticks,
shouting: Long live the sisters!"
"Long live liberty!" One Of the re-
porters was dragged from the auto
mobile and the fanatics beat him
with their pitchforks and sticks.
The newspaper man explained in the
Breton dialect that he had only come
in search of information, but the
crowd refused to listen to him and
the reporter had to keep them at
bay with a revolver. He succeeded
in regaining the automobile and
drove off at full speed, followed by
a shower Of stones.
A school at Ploudaniel, in the same
neighborhood, has been converted
into a fortress, barricades have been
erected and the inhabitants have
formed q Gordon about the surround
ing area. The lady superior said:
"You see our barricades. They must
shoot us before we yield. There
will be bloodshed if anyone attempts
to enter"
The population Of Landerneau, -
miles from Brest, has formed re-
lays to guard the school, and peas
ant women sit on benches opposite
the gate, knitting while awaiting the
coming Of the gendarmes. They are
greatly excited and declare they pre-
fer to be shot rather than abandon
the sisters. The lady superior of
the Landerneau convent said "Like
true Bretons, we will only yield to
force. The women and other people
who are guarding the school night
and day have given us a courageous
example"
The population of Roscoff is guard
ing the schools day and night. Sem
tinels are watching the roads, and
men are sleeping on the ground in
the neighborhood, in order to be
ready at the first alarm.

ANOTHER TRIAL FOR CRUELTY
Lieut. Hickman Court Martiaied for Hsv-
Ing Ducked Three Natives In Pond
to Obtain Information,

Manila, July 25.-Ihe court-martial
of Lieut.. Edwin A. Hickman, of the
First cavalry, on the charges of hav-
ing ducked in pond two natives OF
'rayabas because they refused to
guide him to the stronghold of the
insurgent leader, Cabelles, and with
having ducked third native who
died from the maltreatment, has been
concluded after two brief sittings,
and Lieut.. Hickman is believed to
have been acquitted. The defense
admitted all of the specifications in
the first charge, taking exception
only to the word unlawful" and
pleaded justification under general
order 100 and the conditions prevail
ing in Tabayas province. The de-
tense also produced a Geographic
order from Gen. Chaffee, urging the
location of Cabelles regardless Of the
measures necessary to do so. The
defense disclaimed any desire to
shift the responsibility and said the
telegram produced showed the
urgent necessity for locating Ca
bellies. The second charge was
thrown out.

Nh. Ross brought out that the fatal
accidents among the 1900 Delaware,

ployes last year was three-tenths of
one per cent. of the whole. and asked
Mr. Mitchell how that compared with
the average in the soft coal region.
The witness said he would put in fig
ares later, showing comparisons.
Reading from the constitution of the
Illinois State union, of the United Mine
Workers, AIr, Ross showed that the
district board Is empowered TO order Il
strike at will. Alr. Mitchell explained
again that the contracts in the Illinois
region are above the union constitution;
that each contract contains a provision
10 the effect that the contract shall not
be set aside because of any law or rule
of the nationaMstate or local unions.
