acoME, FIND JESUS"
ADakota Farmer Has Expsfience With
Fanatic Donkhobor.

"a Winnipeg dispatch to the twin
city papers says:
WI The Doukhobors craze has extended
to Winnipeg and vicinity. Oscar
Hanson, a farmer from near Bismarck,
N. D., drove out to Headingly to look
at some land il that vicinity which
he was thinking of purchasing. He
says:ssIwas driving toward Winnipeg
and had passed st. Charles. As l
crossed q bridge this side Of the village
/ heard a low monotonous sound
coming out of the dusk some distance
ahead. AS I got nearer the point
where the sound seemed to be coming
from, my horse SHE'D at something BY
the side Of the road. I pulled up.
and got cut and it proved to be q man
kneeling near the ditch in prayer. I
asked him what was the matter, but
he made no sign that he heard me for
several minutes, continuing his mono
tonous prayer. At length he got up
and said in very broken English that
he was going to meet his bother,
and from hts appearance I judged he
was a Doukhobor. He was evidently
warmly clad, and wore heavy, long
rubber boots. He said he had just
completed his evening meal and was
giving thanks to God. I asked him
What he had for his supper and he said
.5,bread. ] was turning to get into my
rig again when he came around in
front Of me and said: Come, And
Jesus. Turn away horse and walk
lind Jesus He did not seem in the
least insane and had a strikingly
pleasant face, being seemingly very
intelligent. He smiled down at me,
for he was a very tall man and his
voice was appealing. When / said
MO- he bowed his head and strobe
off in the night. As I started on my
way to Winnipeg I heard his strong
voice singing. His song did not
sound like a hymn, but seemed more
like a ballad with which he was
cheering his loneliness. 1 tell you,
said Mr.. Hanson, as he finished his
story, sit gave me a queer sensation.
I don't take much stock in religion
and that sort of thing but the look
that man gave me when he asked me
to come find Jesus has haunted me
ever since, and the first thing I know
I'll get religion and go and hire out
as an evangelist"

The Growth Of seaweed.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in their
habits Of life. Some species grow al
together beneath the water, attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level,
other frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide. while
others yet are found in situations
where they are scarcely ever covered
by water. Whereas most of them at
tach themselves to rocks or solid bot
tom, keeping to the shadows, there are
exceptions to the rule, among which
the most remarkable is the sargasso
or gulf weed. which floats on the
surface of the ocean,. Immense fields
Of 1t are seen by the navigator, extend
ing as far as the eye car reach. 1t is
sometimes so abundant as seriously to
interfere with the progress of ships.
and it was this which SO alarmed the
crew Of Columbus on his first voyage
Of discovery.

The One for Southern Mail Is All
Right-Mr. Cochran DenOunces the
Administration for Its Conduct To-
wards the Beers.
Washington, March 13.-The House
to-day closed the general debate upon
the postoff1ce appropriation bill and
completed consideration of twelve OF
the q pages of the bill. No amend
ments were adopted. The principal por-
ton of the general debate to-day was
devoted to the discussion of the APP
preparations for special mail facilities
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana opened
the debate on this topic.
The Southern Railway, which re-
ceived the subsidy between Washing
ton and New Orleans, he said, now re-
ceived 1868 per mile in regular mail
pay against $685. when the subsidy was
inaugurated in 1893. He contended that
the road could not afford to withdraw
Its fast train If the subsidy was with
drawn.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama de-
tended the subsidy to the Southern
Railway on the ground that it was
absolutely necessary to give the South
quick mail facilities The whole South,
he said, was benefited by the extra
train run in return for this appropria-
ton.
Mr.. jenkins of Wisconsin presented
detailed statement of his reasons for
his theory that Cuba is now under the
sovereignty of the United States. which
sovereignty cannot be alienated with
out an act of Congress. Mr. Jenkins
views contracted considerat atten-
ton.
Mr.. Cochran of Missouri made fer
vent speech denouncing the course Of
the administration relative to the
British war against the South African
republics.
AngIO-Maniac in State Departing MT.
1--WE have ignored the rights of these
republics" he said, land we have
trampled upon the law of nations in
doing it, We have an Anglo-maniac in

nothing in the cause of the Beers and
everything sacred in the unlawful pre-
tensions of Great Britain. democratic
applause.) In deed and in truth, at the
very outbreak of this war every ques-
ton of international law involved was
decided adversely to the Beers by the
secretary or State. Every contention
for which they are fighting was cast
aside and every unlawful assumption
of power and authority asserted by
Great Britain was confirmed And
now it has come to pass when the walls
of the suffering wives and children of
the heroic Beers are borne to our ears
by every gale, provoking a responsive
chord in the hearts of sympathetic peo-
pie throughout the world, and they are
willing to relieve the sufferings of these
unfortunates, that our Secretary of
State discovers some rule of inter-
national law that shuts the mouth of
mercy and palsies the hand of charity"

captured, severely wounded by Gen.
Delarey, March 10, had been released,
and was expected to arrive at Rlerks-
dorp, Southwestern Transvaal, to-day.
The generals condition was favorable.
Mr.. Brodrick added that the ex-
change of Gen. Methuen for Comman-
dant Kritzinger had not been contem-
plated. The trial of the commandant
had been postponed because consider
alton of the evidence to be presented
has not been completed.
Timothy M. Healey Qrish National
ist), amid cheers, invited the govern
ment to show equal magnanimity and
release Commandant Kritzinger.
Mr. Brodrick said subsequently that
the telegram received did not specifi-
cally say that Gen. Muthuen had been
released, but from the fact that he
was in the hands of a British medical
officer, it was presumed that the gen.
eral had been released.

N0RF0LK'S STRIKE STILL ON.
Rumor of Smallpox in Street Car
Barn Caused Excitement.

Norfolk, Va, March 13.-This after
noon Norfolk was thrown into fever
of excitement by the report that at
the street car barn in HuntersvilIe
there were two well developed cases
of small pox, it being claimed that an
imported motorman had brought the
disease with him from Philadelphia.
thorough investigation was made
and 1t was learned that the story had
been manufactured of whole cloth. The
fact that all of the companies of milf
tia were marched in from the car
barns this morning gave a semblance
of truth to the rumor but it was ex-
planned by Col. Higgins that this was
to exercise the men.
The strike situation to-day is un-
changed. The disorder was not as
much as during the first days of the
strike, but more than yesterday.
1t is reported that a gang has or
ganized and will burn the trestles on
the Lambert's Point run between mid
night and daylight. More men We're
employed to-day and the company has
now nearly the full number, regular
men and extras.
Strike sympathizers threw bricks
and then fired a pistol shot into a
street car at the line of the city linn
it's at 10 o'clock to- night, and Private
Bailey of Company NJ. Emporia, Va,
was wounded in the right thumb. The
same shot caused a large piece of
glass to strike Sergt. Carr. Company
/, Franklin, Va, and cut his face
severely, causing the services of a ply
stefan to be called in.
At the same time the shot was fired,
several bricks were thrown into the
car and Private Burgess, Company I,
was struck on the right knee and pain
fully injured.
The car was stopped and the soldiers
chased several persons who were rum
ming away. Five shots were fired and
two men in the crowd stopped. They
were j. F. Ruth and John Oliver The
men were searched, but no weapons
were found. They were taken to the
car barns and kept under guard all
night. They will be brought to Nor
folk In the morning for hearing.

Members for Methuen's Disaster
Not the Cause, 1t Is Claimed.
London, March 13.-The official an
nouncement yesterday of the abandon
ment of the proposed visit of King
Edward and Queen Alexandra to Ire
land whereby the ministers assume the
responsibility for an imperial boycott,
is quite unprecedented in form and
causes keen discussion, the general
tone of which is distinctly adverse to
the action of the cabinet, which is in
terpreted as displaying petty spite and
spleen. The suggestion sought to be
conveyed, both by the announcement
itself and the comment of the minis
terial organs. that the decision arrived
at was directly due to the outburst of
some of the Irish members of the
House of Commons when the news of
the disaster to Gen. Methuen's column
was officially communicated to that
House, is declared by hostile critics to
be obviously false, as it was announced
weeks ago that the visit would be post
poned. These critics assert also that
there seems good reason to believe that
their majesties themselves all along
desired to carry out the coronation
visit. and though they have deferred 1t
on the advice of the ministers, they
have no intention of relieving the lat
ter from the onus of a tactless move.
During the debate on the civil serv-
ice estimates in the House of Com
mons to-day John Redmond, the Irish
leader, moved a reduction of the SAL
airy of the chief secretary for Ireland
George Wyndham) and proceeded TO
incisively criticise Mr.. Wyndham's poll
icy, asserting that the latter was en-
gineering a conspiracy to misrepresent
the condition of the country, in order
to give a colorado excuse for coer-
cion. Mr.. Redmond said coercion would
not kill boycotting, but it would ex-
asperate the Irish people at home and
consolidate them abroad. He sincere
ly hoped, however, that the Irish
would not be betrayed into the COM
mission of crime.
Mr.. Wyndham in replying said that
already great many illegal acts had
been perpetrated in Ireland. He adj
mitted the constitutional right Of the
people to assemble and proclaim their
grievances but where crime was about
to be committed an assembly became
unlawful and it was the duty of the
government to prevent it.
Mr.. Redmond's motion was rejected
by a vote of 215 to 1885,

MAY STRIKE IN PENNSYLVAN
Miners Dissatisfied With Simply
Continuance of Present Wage
Scale and VIII Hold Convention.

Philadelphia, March 13.-The follow
ing was posted tonight at all the coll
cries throughout the anthracite coal
region of Pennsylvania.
RATES of wages now in effect will
be continued until April, 1903, and
thereafter subject to sixty days notice,
Local differences will be adjusted as
heretofore"
The rate of wages now paid to mine
workers in the anthracite region is
the same as that granted them as a
result of the great strike in the fail
of 1900 At that time the coal opera
tors promised that the rate should re-
main in effect until April l. 1901. Prior
to the latter date the miners through
the officers of their national organiZa-
ton made several demands on the
operators, among them the rec
ognition of the union. This
the mine owners refused, but,
instead continued the rate of wages
granted in 1900 to April l. this year.
At the recent national convention OF
the United Mine Workers OF America
at Indianapolis, it was voted to again
ask the operators to grant the men
several concessions. Among these
were the recognition of the union and
an eight-hour day. At the same time
the national officers were INSTRUCTED to
seek a conference with the operators
and accordingly letters were sent to the
presidents of the several companies
asking for such a meeting. AS far
as is publicly known none of the
presidents granted the request. Fail
ing in this, the miners have called
a convention to be held at Shamokin
next Tuesday at which all the miners
in the anthracite region will be repre-
sented, at which the question of wheth-
err or not to strike will either be finally
decided or referred to the national Off
GERS with power to act.
How the convention will take the no.
tice nosted is not positively known at
this time, but several of the district Of
ficers have been quoted as saying that
II the companies grant only the con-
tinuance of the present wage scale,
the rank and file of the men will not
