POTTER FAINTS
TOTTERS WHILE DELIVERING AN
ADDRESS To CHOIR BOYS.
Receivers consciousness in a Minute
or Two and Is Taken Home-Not
Seriously HI.

NEW YORK. May 7.-Bishop Henry c.
Potter, Of the Episcopal diocese OF New
York, was suddenly taken iii to-day, but
his illness is said tonight not TO be of an
alarming nature. The bishop late I'm the
afternoon attended an entertainment given
by the boys of the choir school Of the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine at the
Orphan Asylum on the cathedral grounds.
He was scheduled as the principal speaker.
When the time came for him to begin his
address 1t was found he had gone 10 sleep
in his chair. When he was aroused he re-
covered himself Immediately and began to
speak. The bishop had been speaking only
a few minutes when he tottered and faint
ed. Those about him were much alarmed.
The superintendent of st. Luke's Hospital
was summoned and attended the bishop,
who recovered consciousness in a minute or
two. He was sent in his carriage TO his
home.
DR.. II. NJ. Silver saw the bishop later at
the latter's house. He stated subsequently
hat the bishop was very much better and
that he was suffering from overwork. The
lights were out in the bishops house to-
night at 1890 o'clock, except in the hall.
The butler stated at that time that the
bishop had fully recovered and was resting
comfortably, the doctor having left the
house an hour before.

WAS DOING HIM
The "HoId Up" Man, Coffee.

Few people know how many persons ars
made sick and kept sick by coffee drinking.
A trained nurse relates her experience with
a number Of different persons. She says,
Quite a long time ago 1 discovered that
coffee was the cause OF the violent paIpi-
tation OF my heart and frequent sick
headaches. and attacks of Indigestion. so
1 quit coffee and went on 10 hot water. not
knowing then OF Postum Food Coffee.
Quite a while after 1 quit coffee my
husband began TO complain OF coffee COM
ing up in his mouth more OF less during the
forenoon. and il made 1t very disagreeable
for him. One day 1 said. Suppose We try
that Postum Food Coffee which is adver-
tised so much So We did and / prepared IL
according TO directions. The beverage
proved delicious and we liked II so much
and II agreed with us so well We have
used IL for over two years now.
My palpitation OF the heart. headaches
and indigestion have gone altogether. II Is

from work every few days. He gave up The
use Of coffee and commenced using Postum
and since that sime he has not been
troubled with dyspepsia.
One woman told me she had suffered
with Indigestion for three years. She drank
nothing but tea. l made Postum for her

GREATEST OF ALL GUNS
CAN ANY DISTANCE BY
LENGTHENING THE TUBE.
Invention of "a Norwegian That May
Be Purchased by German Manu-
facturers of Artillery.

BERLIN, May PROF. X. Bierkeland,
the Norwegian physicist, has been in Berlin
recently for the purpose of demonstrating
the powers of his electromagnetic cannon
before a number of experts in electrical
artillery. The results of the demonstra-
lions have been so convincing that a firm
of artillery manufacturers has offered to
buy the invention for immediate exploita-
ton, provided Professor Bierkeland will in
crease the length of the piece used in the
trials so that it will throw a projectile
weighing two tons a distance of twelve
miles. Theoretically the device can throw
a projectile weighing two tons a distance
of nine miles, or even farther. by suf-
fciently prolonging the tube. The princi-
pie on which the new gun acts has not been
made public, but it is known that the pro-
jectile is expelled from an ordinary cast
iron tube thickly wrapped with copper wire.
The tube can, of course. be made more
cheaply than the cannon now in use. No
explosive gases result from the discharge
OF the new gun.
Professor Bierkeland's invention has
stirred up great interest among technical
observers. some of whom are of opinion
that it signifies a greater revolution IN
fighting material than that brought about
by the discovery of gunpowder.

MEYER EXPECTS PEACE.
So Informs His Wife by C~abIe-Irrec-

LONDON. May THE wife of Gen.
Lucas Meyer, the commander of the
Orange Free State forces, who is in this
country. received a cable message from her
husband yesterday saying that peace in
South Africa was probable.
Further advices received here to-day from
South Africa announced that 20S Beers had
been captured and that ten burghers were
killed in the neighborhood of Lindley,
Orange River Colony, yesterday. Lord
Kitchener. in reporting the affair. said the

and proceeded rapidly south, reaching the
Kroonstad and Lindley neighborhood. with
the result announced. The British casual
ties were nil. Another British column,
holding the drifts westward of the country
swept, has not yet reported it's results. The
captured men represent the most irrecOn-
cilable Beers in the Orange River Colony.
TIL town OF Okiep. western Cape Colony,
which had been besieged Since April by
a Transvaal force under Commandant
Smutz, has been relieved by a British force
under Colonel Cooper. The garrison was in
good health and only a few of the troops
were wounded. The Beers retired south.
Lord Kitchener. in reporting the relief of
Okiep, adds that the Concordfa district,
in about the same part of Cape Colony, is
clear OF Beers.

DEFEAT FOR IRISH NJ. P.'S.
Unable to Force n Vote Of Censure on
Speaker Gully.

LONDON. May THE Nationalist men,
bers of the House of Commons unsuccess-
fully attempted tonight TO force a vote
of censure on the speaker of the House,
William Court Gully. in connection with the
suspension from the House for one week of
John Dillon. Nationalist. who. March 20.
addressed supplementary language to
Joseph Chamberlain. the colonial secre-
tary.
j. j. Mooney. Nationalist. had previously
given notice that he would move to censure
the speaker and when Mr.. Gully took the
chair the Conservative and Liberal mem
bers rose and greeted him with cheers. The
occupants of the Irish benches remained
seated. Mr.. Mooney. in moving his resolu-
ton, declared that Mr.. Di.lon's language on
the occasion in question had been parlia-
mentary until he had been provoked by the
grossly offensive and unparliamentary
taunt from Mr.. Chamberlain. and that the
speaker should have compelled Mr.. Cham
berlain TO withdraw his remark.
Joh Redmond. Nationalist. in seconding
the motion made by Mr.. Mooney. said he
formally accepted responsibility Cor il. and
the fact that the member who had been in
suited belonged 10 the minority. while the
offender was a prominent member of the
government, aggravated the case.
Mr.. Redmond said ne hoped the rules
enforced against the Irish members would
also be used to protect them in this for

MEETING OF EXECUTIVE BOARDS OF
ANTHRACITE DISTRICTS.
situation Was Carefully
Mr.. Mitchell Says Operators Have
Not Granted Concessions.

SCRANTON, Pa, May 1.-THE executive
boards of the United Mine Workers of
America for the three districts comprising
the anthracite coal region met here at III
o'clock this morning to consider the report
of the special committee which had been
in conference with the presidents of the
coal carrying railroads and to decide wheth-
or the men are TO emain at work or go
on strike for increased pay. a shorter days
work and an in~sistence that the coal shall
be weighed at the mines. The miners rep
resentatives were in session all to-day, but
nothing was done of which any definite
knowledge would be given the public. The
meeting, as far as the outside world knows,
made absolutely no change in the situation.
The thirty-four men forming the COM
mittee went into session at 10 o'clock in the
carpenters hall and remained together I'M
til 4:45. except an our AND a half for
lunch. When the meeting adjourned Pres
ident Mitchell gave out the following
meagre and in0efinite response 10 a re-
quest for an account of what had been
done: THE committee is canvassing the
situation very carefully. No decision has
as yet been reached. The committee will
meet again tomorrow at 9 o'clock a. m"
Further than this nothing authoritative
could be learned. When asked If anything
had been heard from the operatives, MIR.
Mitchell said: Il have heard nothing from
the operators. No concessions have been
granted. and l know nothing of any move
ment to secure concessions"
The comparatively early adjournment of
to-day's meeting has led TO a general belief
here that the miners are waiting for some
thing TO turn up, despite the positive state
ments of President Mitchell that he knows
of no mediatory moves. Many sensational
stories are current tonight, among them
one 10 the effect that the companies have a
thousand men at Buffalo ready
10 come on and man the pumps and hoist
ing engines should the firemen and en-
gineers go out with the miners in case of
a strike, as State Secretary Mullahy, of
the Stationary Firemens' Association, has
declared they would do.

Chase Mexican Settlers Away and XIII
a Woman and "a Child.

Ell PASO. Tex. May 7.-William Brown.
a travelling freight agent, who has just re-
turned from Guaymas. Mex. tells of an
other outbreak of the Yaqui Indians.
About twelve miles north of Guaymas
was once a favorite ground of the
Yaquis," said Brown. 'Once in a while
they make a run back TO the old place and
wreak vengeance on the Mexican settlers.
Last Friday night a marauding party ar.
rived from the mountains. and the Mexican
settlers took TO the hills. but one family
was headed OF and a desperate battle Ell
sued. The family consisted Of a man, his
wife and mother and two children. The
man kept the Indians away until he fell.
severely wounded. His mother and one
child Rad been killed before he fell. With
his wliS supporting him they managed 20
crawl away with the remaining child, and
next morning. reached a little station IN
the railroad. Soldiers were rushed to the
scene OF the fight, but the Indians had
fled"

Medal Awarded to f. A. Krupp.

LONDON, May THE annual meeting of
the Iron and Steel Institute opened here to-
day and was well attended. John Fritz, an
American, in seconding the adoption of the
report, said the Iron and Steel Institute of
America was the cornerstone and the
cause of the present satisfactory condition
of the iron and steel industries there. The
bessemer gold medal for 1902 was presented
to T. a. Krupp. son of the founder of the
Essen works, of Germany, who, President
Whitwell declared, had done more for the
industry on the continent than any other
manufacturer. The autumn meeting of the
institute will take place at Dusseldorf,
Rhenish Prussia.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-05-08

had perfect confidence in the speakers
ability and impartiality. Mr.. Moneys mo-
ton was defeated by a vote of So 10 SsS.
During a discussion of South African af-
fairs in the House of Common March 20
Mr.. Chamberlain. the colonial secretary.
referred TO the Beers who are fighting on
the British side. when John Dillon inter-
jected: They are traitors To this Mr..
Chamberlain retorted: THE honorable gen
tleman is a good judge Of traitors" A scene
OF great confusion ensued. and subsequent
" Mr.. Dillon said to Mr.. Chamberlain: Il
will tell the right honorable member that
he is a id liar"
This attempt TO force a vote of censure
was made the occasion of a remarkable
demonstration Of sympathy for and conf
dence in the speaker. After the division
the whole house, with the exception of the
Irish members again arose and, with heads
uncovered, cheered Mr.. Gully Justify. In
the Hobbies and galleries, which were I'M
usually crowded, especially with aristo-
cratic ladies, the speaker was the recipient
of numerous congratulations.

Nothing for Conciliators to Do.

NEW YORK, May Frank p. Sargent,
of the arbitration committee of the National
Civic Federation, who has been in this city
hoping that the services of the committee
might at the last moment be asked to ar
bitrate the anthracite coal miners troubles.
went TO Albany to-day. He is expected TO
return tomorrow and will wait until he
hears a decision from the convention at
Scranton.
Ralph NJ. Easley said that there was
nothing the Federation could do in the
matter. Any news now would come from
Scranton. More rumors were prevalent to-
day about alleged concessions being made
to the miners at the last moment. Presi-
dent Truesdale. of the Delaware, Laca-
wanna & Western Railroad. said there is
nothing in these rumors of concessions. Mr..
Truesdale was asked if the companies were
preparing for a strike and replied that the
mines were working. There was nothing TO
be said on that subject.
