somnambulism.

Blond persons are more apt to be
somnambulists than dark folk, and in
eold climates there is more somnam-
bulism than in warm ones. In certain
Greenland villages the hut doors are
locked from without by a Waterman in
order that those within may not come
forth in their sleep and maybe freeze
to death.

MINERS TO SPRING SURPRISE.
Claim That Fake Certificates Are Be-
ing Issued to NOn-Miners-Citixe
Alliance Makes Hot Reply to
Mitchell.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 2.-The lead
ers of the striking miners promise to
spring a surprise in q few days. They
claim that after an investigation they
find that miners certificates are being
issued contrary to law and that the
recipients of the certificates, many of
whom it is said never saw the inside
of a coal mine, are being pressed into
the service of the coal companies. In
this way it is said the companies are
increasing the number of their en-
ployes. The new men, while they may
not be able to mine coal, can load it.
The bosses can do the mining. Between
the two it will be possible for some Of
the miners to resume work on a small
scale. The certificates are not being is
sued by mine examining boards, 1t is
said, but by some person or persons
who have access to the official papers.
Criminal prosecutions are promised
The controversy between President

the letter reads:
"Mr. Mitchell: You decline to say
in behalf of the union and yourself
that you condemn boycotting, rioting
and violence perpetrated to prevent
men from working. Indeed, you leave
the distinct and unpleasant impression
that you do not condemn those things.
IF you were sincere in your fire.

you would not refuse. as you do refuse,
to proclaim, as we requested, your pos

which undertakes to prevent men from

and upon such terms as they please"

NO ILLINOIS CENTRAL DEAL.
His Road Not in the AmnIEamatiOn
Business, Says President Stuyves-
ant Fish.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2.-President
Stuyvesant Fish of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad Company. accompanied
by his two sons and two other Off
Gals of that road, arrived in this city
this afternoon on his way to Colorado,
on a pleasure trip. President Fish had
a few things to say about the Rock
Island deal, but denied in strong terms
that his road was in any way con-
nected with it.
You may say that the Illinois Cen
trail is not in any way connected or
affiliated with the deal of the Rock
Island and the Frisco" said he. For
that matter we are not in the ANAL
gamation business. and have no con-
nection whatever with this or any
other such transaction. We are not
seeking a combination with any other
railroad, and not forming any sort of
securities company. You may make
that just as broad as you please, for
it is a fact that the Illinois Central Is
absolutely divorced from this Frisco
deal, and all other deals of that kind.
We are devoting ourselves assiduously
to the management of our own little
road"

London, Aug. 2.-New preparations
for the coronation of King Edward next
Saturday are proceeding rather me-
Chemically. The erection of the famil-
lar street barriers, the cleansing and
decorating of the stands and the re-
hanging of decorations attract slight
attention. Public interest in the ac-
tual proceedings, however, is rekipdled
by official assurance that the King is

will be able to bear the fatigue of be-

more impressive than anything con-

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 2-The Re-

held a meeting to-day at which it was
decided to call a state convention to
meet in this city on Sept. 16 to nomi-

The most important action of the
committee was the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That only those shall be
recognized or permitted to participate
in the state and county conventions
and be at meetings who are duly quail
flied voters under the new constitu-
ton of Alabama
The effect of this will be to make
the Republican party in Alabama a

constitution of the state the negroes
are practically all disfranchised
This action of the Executive Com
mittee was in accordance with the pro-
gramme agrede on at a harmony meet
ing of the Republicans held here on
Friday.
The negro Republicans are much dis
satisfied at the action of the commit
tee, and say they will appeal to the
National Executive Committee.

FRANCES RELIGIOUS SCHOOL S
Premier Comtees Has 10000 Appli-
cations Before Him-They May Re-
open With Lay Stats

Paris, Aug. 2.-Several Nationalist
deputies, representing Paris, waited
on the premier, M. Combes, to-day to
ascertain the governments further at
titude towards the religious schools.
M. Combes informed them that appli-
cation for authorization by the closed
schools could not suspend the action
of the associations law, and that such
schools would not be allowed to re-
open until the council of state had
rendered decisions regarding these APP
plications. They might, however, re-
open with lay stats, and he was
considering means to expedite
the consideration of applications by
the council of state. The premier said
that there were 1900 such applica-
tons waiting attention. The Social
lists have arranged an anti-clerical
demonstration for the Place Maubert,
in the Latin quarter, tomorrow, and
the clericals also announce a meeting
to protest against M. Combes circular
to be held in hall in the Rue Danton
in the same quarter. A collision is
feared, and the police intend to take
extensive preventive measures.
The peasantry in Western Britanny
continue to guard the schools presided
over by nuns, and express a determi-
nation to prevent the closing of them.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-The Reichstag tariff
experts find an inexhaustible mine to
support any proposition, whether pro-
tective or of a free trade character, in
the American tariff and the enormous
literature that has gown up around it.
Steel rails were considered by the
tariff committee yesterday and among
piles of debating material before the
members were reports of the
American Senate and House on the
tariff. Count Won Posadowsky-
Wehrner, the imperial secretary of
state for the interior, had a volume
OF the United States census before him,
and Herr Bernstein, the Socialist lead
er, was armed with the testimony TAX
en- before the American Trust Com
mittee, from which he quoted H. O..
Havemeyer, president of the American
Sugar Refining Company, to the effect
that the tariff was the mother of all
ten marks per ton duty on rails as
provided by the bill alluded to the
United States Steel Corporation, say
ing that the domestic German mar
ket would be taken by that rust
whenever sales in the United States
languished. Herr Bernstein, who is the
most careful reasoner among the So
clalists, predicted the break down of
the steel trust from over-capitalization
and confidence of its managers
