BurgIarized Print Shops,

Some malicious, designing person
showed a mania last Friday night for
burglarizing print shops. The Daily
Post and News were both visited by
a burglar that night and it is evident
that the same party committed both
burglarles. The rear double doors
were pried open with some heavy in
strument and one Of the windows was
raised. The burglar, however, dis
turbcd nothing except to push one Of
the case racks out Of position. at the
News Office he entered by prying the
front double doors open with his feet
and inside he proceeded to play havoc.
The keyboard OF the type setting ma
chine was somewhat defaced by him
and a type writer was mutilated.
Other damage was also done. The
burglar appears to have made bed in
theonice after thatand slept. He de-
parted by way of the rear door before
the Office was opened next morning.
Both offices suspect a former employe,
but no arrest has as yet been made.

this the penalty that a reputable man

ONE RULE FOR SOUTH AFRICA

London, June 8. THE present aspect
OF the South African situation is Civ
ing great satisfaction to all parties in
Great Britain. 1t is fully recognized
that the terms respecting the future
government of the new states are so
vague that the British authorities will
retain complete discretion, and there
is no specific demand which the Beers
will be able to advance within any
definite time
The impression prevails that the
government has no intention ever to
restore the constitution in Cape Col
ony, which was suspended a few
months ago. 1t is believed Mr.. Cham
berlain has comprehensive plan,
which, while not correctly described
by the term federation, will bring all
the British in South Africa under
closer relationship than in the ante
bellum days. This plan will probab-
ly not be announced at present, and
the provisional government will con.
tinue for considerable time.

NICARAGUA CANAL.

The Nicaraguan canal bill is now
the unfinished business in the Senate.
The advocates of the Panama route
claim that they have made a canvass
of the Senate and that they now have
COR Portable majority and it seems
to be the general opinion that the
Spooner resolution will be adopted
eventually, whereby the President
will be authorized to select the route,
at least to this extent The Presi-
dent will be authorized to investi-
gate the ability of the French Com
pany to deliver clear title to its
property at the valuation placed on it
by the isthmian canal commission,
$40, 600, GO, to purchase if he is salts
fed with the title and to continue the
work of the great engineer, De Les
seps but if the title is unsatisfactory
the President will begin work on the
Nicaraguan route i'll accordance with
the provisions of the Hepburn bill.
So far, Senators Morgan, Mitchell,
and Harris have spoken in advocacy
of the Nicaraguan and Senator Hanna
in suppoI of the Panama route. Sen
ator Hanna scored an effective point
during the course of his remarks when
he stated that much of the testimony
presented by Senator Mitchell in sup
port of the Nicaraguan route came
from parties interested in the old
Maritime Canal Company, who, in
the event of the United States select
ing the last named route, would i'm
mediateiy claim damage on the ground
OF their old franchise.

STRIKE.

Hazelton, June 10. The women of
Freeland gathered this morning,
marched to the mines and succeeded
in persuading a number of non-union
men to quit. At Yorktown Gordon
of police surround the collieries but
there have been no violent demonstra-
tions. The men at the No. 40 colliery
stopped work yesterday but did not
leave the stockade When the strik-
ers learned this they dispersed.
Wilkesbarre, June TO- Gloom has
again fallen upon the anthracite re-
gion now that it is generally known
that nothing tangible in the way of
a settlement of the strike is expected
to follow the conference between
Mitchell and labor commissioner
Wright, in New York last night, To
day there is every evidence that the
miners and operators are as far apart
as ever. The question of providing
for men in the stockades threatens to
become serious.
Merchants being threatened with
boycott refuse to sell goods for use in
the stockades. At the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre mines in Plymouth it is
said the non unionists have been with
out meat or ice for several days. In
the Hazelton district the Delaware,
Susquehanna and Schuylkill, and Lee
high valley railroads have agreed to
the ultimatum of the railroad men
who met on Sunday resolved in future
to refuse to handle trains on which
non unionists, coal and iron police
and provisions for these men were
being transported. Had the compan-
les forced the issue a strike of rail
roads men would have resulted.

GETTING THE NEWS.

London spices the peace news by
stories of the ruses adopted by CORE
spondents to dodge the press censors
in South Africa in letting their edi-
tions keep informed of the progress of
the peace negotiations. The Tele-
graph for instance, received from Mr.
Bennett Burleighe on Whitmonday a
cablegram with the words "Whitsun-
tide greetings. " 1t looks like polite
ness. But the editor turned to the
prayer book and reading over the Cos
pei for Whitsunday, came upon the
sentences: peace l leave with you I;
my peace give unto you. Not as
the world giveth, give / unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled nei-
Their let it be afraid. "
That convinced the Telegraph.
When we received Mr.. Burleigh $
message to his brother in Glasgow,
'returning-tell Lawson, we felt, {"
says the Daily Telegraph, that the
moment had arrived and we might
fairly take the public into our conf
denoe." When the Daily Mail receiv-
ed message that some of the Rand
collieries had been bought for GER
tain sum, it knew peace was assured,
despite the censor. Boston Record.
