MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.
Shooting Of a Boy Stirs wiIkesbarre to Intense
Excitement.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 1.-THE shoot
ing affray at the Stanton colliery at
South Wilskesbarre last night, in which
Il l3-year-old boy was seriously wound
ed by coal and iron policemen, has
stirred up this community more than
any other happening since the big
strike began. The strikers have the
utmost contempt for the deputies and
coal and iron policemen, and trouble
may be started at the least provocation.
The police were fortunate in getting
the four men who were accused of doing
the shooting safely away from the col
liery. This morning another coal and
iron policeman was arrested for -four
ishing Il revolver in Il threatening man
ner.
Sheriff Jacobs of this county had a
particularly busy time last night, being
called upon by several companies to
protect their property. Men were sent
to some localities where trouble was
looked for. prepared to read the riot
act, but this was not done.
Hundreds of yards of fencing sur
rounding collieries have been burned
by boys and young men. The coal
companies of this district hold the mine
workers responsible for all the disturb
ances. They argue that if the strikers
wish to keep the peace they should pre-
vent their sons from starting trouble.

LOUIS SuOSS DEAD.
Was Pioneer Business Man and Financial Leader
Of the Coast.

San Francisco, June 5.-Louis Sloss,
one of the pioneer business men and
financial leaders of the Pacific coast,
died last evening at his summer resi-
dcnee in San Rafael, after an illness of
several months from a general weaken
ing of the action of the heart. The en-
tire family was at the dying mans bed
side.
Louis Sloss was 10 years of age. He
came to California across the plains in
1S49, and for two years worked in the
mines. Then the commercial possibili-
ties OF the day appealed to him, and he
opened grocery store in Sacramento
From 1861 to 1870 he was broker in
San Francisco, and then he engaged in
the hide, fur and general commission
business, forming the Alaska CONNER
cial Company, and the Louis Sloss
Company. He was president of the
Alaska Packers Association and was
interested in numerous other mercantile
enterprises. His estate is valued at

ENGLAND SATISFIED.
Terms Of Peace Meet the Approval Of British
Press and Public.

London. June 4.-Judging from the
opinions thus far given out by the
London newspapers, the terms of peace
appear to meet with the approval from
all sides, but the extremists of both
the lingo and the pro-Boer parties find
something to cavil at.
The moderate newspapers of both
political parties have nothing but sat
isfacton to express. Among the Liberal
newspapers and politicians Il strong
idea prevails that King Edward will
grant some kind of amnesty to the re-
bells at the coronation.
., The conditions of the terms of peace
as expressed by two public men are:
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford
"The terms are splendid, just and gen.
erous.'
John Burns, NJ. p. (Soicalist): 81
think the terms may prove to be better
than they look. We are really a great
people when we know how to behave"
1t is said from ~ 900 to Is, 900 peo-
pie will be disfranchised under the ar
rangement for dealing with the Cape
rebels. If this is the case the argu-
ment is advanced that it would obviate
the necessity of suspending the consti-
tuition OF Cape Colony.

Greek Husband HOusekeeDers.

In Greece it Is the custom for the man
of the house to 20 out early in the
morning and not only to order the days
food. but to send along with the boy
who delivers it explicit orders how he
wishes to have it cooked. In this con-
nection it should be remarked that any
man of Greece can cook any Greek
dish. Grecian women seldom go to
market and often do not know how to
cook as well as their husbands.
These people eat very lightly In the
morning. the meal consisting Of fruit.
At noon comes the first meal, the break
fast. From noon until o'clock they
sleep This is the midday siesta. To
call upon Greek at this time were
quite as rude as to call upon an Ameri-
can at corresponding hour ip the
morning. At o'clock another light
luncheon Is eaten. The dinner or
hearty meal. Is not eaten until late in
the evening. sometimes as late as or
10 o'clock.

PACIFIC OCEAN VESSELS.
Bill introduced in House for Giving Them
Cover ment Contracts.

Washington, June ga bill design
ed to give American-built ships on the
Pacific the transportation OF govern
ment supplies to the Philippines when
the transport service is not adequate,
was reported favorably from the house
committee on military affairs today.
1t is a substitute for IA bill introduced
by Representative Jones, ofWashington,
and gives authority for the acceptance
of bids by American-built ships at rate
not exceeding 10 per cent above the
old rate of the foreign built ships.
In making the report Mr.. Stevens, of
Minnesota, stated that the bulk of the
transportation to the Philippines, when
the government has shipped in appro-
pirate vessels, have been foreign-built
ships, the amount paid in 1901 to for
eign-built ships being $500 900, and
to American-built ships 81 100000.
The reports say there seems to be an
abundance of American tonnage to in
sure competition and to develop direct
communication with our possessions.
Secretary Root gave his hearty approval
to the measure

Major Porter OF the judge advocates de-

The pope expressed his thanks for
Mr.. Roosevelt's friendly greetings,

pine questions, and said he hoped for
good results. The pontiff also asked
Judge Taft to thank President Roose-
welt for his gift. The audience lasted
40 minutes.
Judge Taft subsequently met Cardi-
nal Rampolla, the papal secretary of

AFLOATINo POSTOFFICE,
Handling of Mails for Vessels ON the
Detroit River.

Handling of Mails for Vessels ON the
Detroit River.
A small yacht-like white steamer
dances over the swells Of the Detroit
River to meet and exchange messages
and salutes with every one Of the pass
ing ships-a little midget servant to
this enormous commerce. Without this
tiny steamer the lake commerce would
be as helpless as we Of the cities and
towns ashore would be without the
postman and the postofiice.
The tremendous advance in shipping
facilities on the Great Lakes In recent
years has been due to tireless Ameri-
can enterprise. fostered by generous
appropriations by the government In
aids to navigation; so when the need
of this little messenger presented It,
self, the Washington authorities were
not slow in making the experiment
leading to its adoption.
This method Of handling United
States mail is the only one of its kind
in existence, and the idea Of floating
postoffice that successfully delivers
and receives mail to and from ships at
full speed is only another illustration
of the wonders and far-reaching bene-
fits of our wideawake postal system.
The books Of the United States Treas
ury Department in Washington now
contain the names of nearly 1000 ships
that constitute t.lis Great Lakes ma
rine. The fresh-water sailors to whom,
this feet is intrusted would, In num-
bers, make the population Of a large.
city. They are. therefore, fairly en-
titled to some means Of communication
with their homes and families In the
States bordering the lakes, and with
friends far away. and the little white
steamer performs this service as per-
fectly as can be desired.
Before the establishment of this de-
livery it was difficult to send letters to
any one aboard ship. although Niaga-
ra's wall confined the movement of
vessels to the Great Lakes and their
voyages back and forth We're past the
shores Of eight States. with a pOpula-
ton of 26.WM.'DO. and their ports Of
call included six cities of over 100000
population each. This may seem
strange, but it is easily explained by
the fact that the greater number Of
lake steamers run wild"

Embarrassing Generosity.

Gently wrote to Washington suggesting
an interchange Of official publications
between the commonwealth and the re-
public. Mr. Barton and his colleagues
have been somewhat staggered by the
promptltude, the cordially, and the
completeness Of the response. No less
than sixty-eight closely packed cases
Of United States official literature were
landed in Melbourne the other day and
conveyed on custom house drays to the
Parliamentary library. Ministers and
officials surveyed this first installment
with conflicting emotions, and wonder
ed whether Brother Jonathan intended
to have periodical fits Of this embar-

Washington, June 4.-The president
has issued declaration of meaning OF
section of the civil service rules, re-
lating to the procedure in removals
from office in the government service.
The declaration announces that to pre-
vent all MISUNDERSTANDING and i'm

term "Just cause" as used therein, is
to mean any other than one merely
political or religious which will pro-
mote the efficiency OF the service, and

strued to require the examination OF
witnesses or any trial or any hearing
except in the discretion OF the officer
making the removal.

While the commercial advantages OF
the Philippine Islands are being con-
sidered from practically every stand
point by persons interested in one way
or another in the development Of the

New York, June 5.-Prominent bus
peal to President Roosevelt asking him
to appoint a commissioner to investi-
gate the situation in the anthracite re-
gion sand see whether miners and oper-
ators cannot be induced to arbitrate.
This action was taken at a meeting
of the New York board of trades trans
portation committee at which Oscar
Strauss presided.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 5.-Ninety-
five per cent of the steam employees OF
the mines through this region are now
with the strikers. This is in large
measure due to the systematic work of
the various committees. When plead
ing proves unsuccessful threats are
made. Women and breaker boys
played important parts in inducing the
men to quit work.
Owing to the response of the entire
torce of the Susquehana Coal Company
OF the strike order the Naticoke
borough near this city is badly crippled.
All the collieries in the Wyoming
valley increased the number of guards
because of trouble the past two days.
This move annoyed the strikers and
the guards were stoned and Missed. They
drew their revolvers but did not fire.
The latest movements on the part OF
organized crafts to help the strikers
during the day happened when men,
bers of the Transfers union refused
to haul coal or culm from banks during
the strike.
President Mitchell when questioned
regarding the appeals made by New
York men to President Roosevelt, de-
clined to discuss the matter beyond say
ing that such Il move would be wei
coined by the miners.
The Associated Press correspondent
was informed by Il mining official who
has positive information on the subject
that most of the mines in the Schuykill
region are accommodating water. The
Reading Company's collieries, located
in that region, are the chief sufferers.
The collieries of the LehighNalley COM
pany and individual companies in the
same territory are also slowly filling.
In the Hazelton, Wilkesbarre and
Scranton districts the condition is not
so bad, only one mine here and there
showing water.

are looking for eligible husbands FOR
their daughters, and to be an eligible.
bridegroom must. in the first place,
be an American, and, secondly, he must
have a soldiers uniform. with a few
stripes added to show that he has risen
above the rank and file of the army.
Such a man Is rated high in the Philip
pines. He can, as a matter OF fact,
come close to naming his own price
when the question Of matrimony IS
brought up. Half a million dollars is
no uncommon figure for husband in
the Philippines. and, strange as it may
seem, such offers have been posted with
out causing an army officer to so much
as polish the buttons on his uniform.
The Filipino maidens do not seem to
awaken that sentimental something
called love in the hearts OF United
States army officers, and it is also ap-
parent that native gold with wife at
tached doesn't look good to them.
Army men returned from the Phil
lppines are authority for the state
ment that there are plenty of chances
In the islands for an officer who wants
a Filipino girl for wife. Only re-
Gently Gen. Ozario Of Cavite, one Of
the richest natives in the islands. made
a surprisingly generous offer to any
pair Of army officers who would take
his two daughters Off his hands. He
announced that he would bestOw a
dowry Of 100000 on each Of the young
women II they would find officers for
husbands. But the girls are still sin
gle, and the surprising part OF the in
cident Is that Gen. Ozario was In pO-
sltlon to deliver the goods. He has
both daughters and money, and 1t
would do his old heart million dollars
worth Of good to secure two stalwart
American soldiers for sons-in-law. but
they refuse to even nibble at the golden
bait.
Other wealthy Filipino parents make
similar offers with exactly the same
results. While it Is true that several
white men have married Filipino girls,
the custom has not spread to officers
of the regular army, and only one vol
unteer officer has done so. Gen. OZa-
rios offer was restricted to commits
stoned officers, but others are not so
particular. Still. the number Of takers
Ia comparatively small, and Filipino
bellies really go a-begging among In
Gle Sans soldiers Of rank.
Few men are capable Of answering
