There has been terrible drouth in
New South Wales and Queensland,
Australia, which has devastated the
sheep ranches Of that section. Millions
OF sheep have died and men formerly
considered wealthy have been COM
PEELED to seek employment. Samuel
McCaughey. the sheep king of Aus
traliA, lost over million sheep of his
herd of million and quarter, and
other large herders have been equally
unfortunate. In one district the resi-
dents erected an arch of sheep skulls
on the occasion Of the visit Of one of
the cabinet ministers.

COLLlERIES ABANDONED.
Strike has Ruined Five Mines and VIII
Leave Two Thousand Men In Idleness.

Strike has Ruined Five Mines and VIII
Leave Two Thousand Men In Idleness.
William Stein, state mine inspector
for the Shenandoah Pa, region has
announced that FIVE collieries under
his jurisdiction, which have an esti-
mated total value of 81, 1000, 900, have
been rendered useless by reason of be-
ing flooded and have been permanently
abandoned by the companies owning
them. Mr.. Stein estimates that out of
the thirty-six collieries in his district
only fourteen are in condition for
immediate operation if the strike was
ended. The others are in such con-
dition that it would require anywhere
from one to four months to clear them
OF water and make repairs. He said
the average time would be about two
months.
The abandonment of the five collier
les will COMPEL 1000 miners to seek
employment in other parts of the
region, and they may have trouble in
finding it If the thousands of men who
have left the region during the strike
should return.

Seven Meet Death In q Hotel Fire.

The Landon hotel at San Angels.

people meeting their death. There
were seventy-fve persons in the house,
and all of them emerged safely except
the seven named and three others who
have not been located but who are be-
lieved to be safe. The seven women
and children got out on a small bal
cony and were appealed to to jump
into blankets which were being held
for them, but they failed to do so and
delayed until the gallery fell back into
the flames.

AdyIces received 10 Washington indi-
cate that President Roosevelt will cal
the senate In extraordinary session
early In November.
Ever since IL became evident that
| nothing would be accomplished as 10
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session OF congress, rumors OF a more
| or less definite nature have been in
circulation that the president would
call an extra session either OF the en-
tire congress TO enact Cuban reciproc-
ity legislation or OF the senate TO ratify
II possible reciprocal treaty with
Cuba.
During the past week 1t has been
stated that IL was the purpose Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt To call a special session
OF the senate early In Septem Der 1t
can be stated on authority that he has
no such intention. His time and that
Of many memoc o. both political par
ties will be occupied during September
and October.
IL Is understood TO be the belief Of
the president that session held for
the purpose OF rstifying reciprocity
treaty with Cuba would be much more
likely to be fruitful Of results il held
after the November elections than II
held before. IL - assured that the
question: Of the relations OF the United
States with Cuba viii enter largely
into the approaching campaign, and it
is stated that the president feels the
Democrats will be less likely to offer
serious opposition to reciprocity
treaty after the election than they |
would before that Time.
A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. IL requires only the
finishing touches and the signatures OF
Minister Quesada and Secretary OF
State Hay to make II ready for presen-
tation to the senate.
No definite date, II is understood has
been fixed upon for the meeting of the
session in Noyem Der. but that IL will
be soon after the election. IL Is reason
ably certain. The president, II is said,
hopes to have the reciprocity question
cleared a way entirely before the regu-
ar session OF congress.

STEEL MILLS PROsPERING.

VIII go to Germany.

1t is learned from a reliable source
that the Union Pacific has placed big
order for steel rails with irm i q Ger,
many. Part of this order is for the
Southern Pacific, though delivery is to
be made Union Pacific at Omaha and
such other points westward as it may
later instruct. The order is for 100, 900
tons. Premiums for early delivery
were quoted ranging from one-quarter
to one per cent.
prominent man connected with
the steel industry said it was not sur
prising to hear OF the Union Pacific or
der. Domestic mills cannot deliver
before the third quarter of next year,
and, as they are stacked up with or
ders, millions of dollars in steel and
iron orders will have to go abroad be-
fore long. All this shows great pros
perity in this country.

burned to death in a roaring furnace

afternoon. While in an epileptic fit
he grabbed hold OF a wire conveyor

MINE HORROR IN COLORADO
Thirteen Miners Killed by the Explosion
of Powder House.

1
A most disastrous explosion occurred
at No. mine at Bowen, Colo, small
camp about ten miles north of Tripi-
| dad, in which thirteen lives are known
to have been lost. The exact number
OF men working on the night shift and
In the mine at the time of the explo-
sion is unknown.
The mine is worked by the Union
Coal company of Denver, and is Slope,
mine, situated on the mountainside
and about 400 yards from the tipple
below. The explosion occurred about
800 feet from the mouth of the stope
and was caused by firedamp.
Immediately after the night shift
had started into the stope terrific
explosion occurred, entirely filing the
mouth of the stope and shaking build
ings and breaking windows for mile
distant.
Owing to the mouth of the stope be-
ing filed, the rescuers were delayed
for some time, but succeeded in reach
ing part of the men through an old
stope, and eight dead bodies were
quickly brought TO the surface.
The powder-house in the mine, u.s.
ually containing 200 pounds of pow
der, blew up, and it is this which
caused such great disaster. The gen.
eral belief is that the entire mine has
been ruined, and if not it will take
months to get it in working order
again.

CYNICAL STATE or AFFAIRS
AT PORTO cABELL0, VENEZUELA
Germans Have landed Marines and Uncle
Sam WiIi Follow Suit.


Sam Wtlf Follow Suit.
Minister Bowen has cabled the stat,
department from Caracas. Venezuela
that the revolutiobjsts have cut the
cable at barcelona. Minister Bower
says the cable was cut immediately
after the receipt Of a message stating
that the revolutionists were entering
the city.
Minister Bowen also advised the
state department that the Germans
intend to land naval force at Porto
Cabello TO protect German interests
there, which are threatened by the up
rising now in progress. The minister
advised that we follow suit. After a
conference between the officials of the
state and navy departments, instruc-
tions were cabled to Commander Nicho-
las OF the Topeka to proceed from
Laguayara to Porto Cabello and to
land naval force In case of attack
The Topeka has already left for Porto
Cabello.
The trouble'at Porto Cabello grows
out of the uprising that has conyulsed
Venezuela for some time. 1t is di-
rected against President Castro and
has kept the country in a state of fer
ment for many months.
Our consul at Porto Cabello sent
word recently that the lives Of some Of
the American residents, including
mem bers OF his family, were imperilled,
ana two OF the ladies of the consu's
family we're taken away in govern
nent ship Since then there has been
no word OF critical condition of af-
fairs, but the dispatch of today indi-
Gates that crisis has been reached.
There appears to be no question as
to the right OF the German naval forces
to land for the protection of German
interests. II in no way involves the
Monroe doctrine. Germany has been
keeping close watch on Venezuela for
some mouths, and at one time contem-
plated taking Venezuelan port in
order to compel the payment OF certain
German claims.
1t was in that connection that the
German ambassador ut Washington,
DR.. Won Hollenben, made inquiry of |
President Roosevelt and the state de-
partment as TO whether such a move by |
Germany for the sole purpose of col

The response of the
United States left Germany free to act,
IS the assurance that no territorial
xtension was intended removed the
ase from the operations OF the Monroe
doctrine.
The present landing OF German
orce has no connection with Ger
nany's former movement against Ven
zeula, although the assurances hereto
ore given by Germany serve in the
resent case to show that there is no
lterior purpose behind the protection
I German interests at Porto Cabello.
