AUGUSTA STRIKE ABOUT ENDED
King Cotton Mills Start Work With
100 Hands.

Augusta, Ca, May 22.-The King cotton
mill. which was closed several weeks ago
when it's employees struck for an increase
In wages, started in part today, 1850 hands
out of 800 reporting for work at o'clock.
1t is claimed that this showing praeti-
cally breaks the backbone of the strike,
in which 10000 were involved.
The mill will be filled up with nom
union help from other mills, and it Is
claimed by the owners that 1t will be run
ming on full time by tomorrow noon. As
soon as the King mill is being operated
on full time all the mills in Augusta,
Granetville, Vancluse, Langley, Bath,
Warrenville and Aiken, s. c., which put
a lockout in force, will start up. 1t is un-
derstood that the Carolina operatives
have guaranteed sufficient help to ope-
rate the King mill fully by Saturday
morning. Nothing has been heard from
Director HILBERT of the National Textile
Association.

MINERS ON THE MARCH.
Stopped by One of the Employers, Who
Gives Good Promise.

Tamaqua, Pa, May 22.-Led by a drum
mer and a bugler several hundred strik-
ing miners marched on the Smith-Myers
washery this morning. A sentry posted
in tree fired his gun as a warning to
the men at the washery that the strik-
ers were approaching. Operations were
at once discontinued.
When the strikers were within fifty
feet of the washery they were met by
Charles Meyers, one of the operators.
Mr. Meyers appealed to them not to dam
age any property or to injure any of the
men. He said he would pledge his word
that not a pound of coal would be washed
until the strike had been settled. The
marchers then appointed committee to
meet the employers, and the latter
promised not to work until an order is is
sized to do so by the United Mine Work.
ers' officials. After the men had agreed
to do this the marchers returned to town.

LOOKS LIKE PEACE.
Everything Points to End OF Strife lr
South Africa.

London. May 22.-The consensus of
opinion here is that all the signs for
peace in the Transvaal are propitious,
but up to 2 o'clock this afternoon the
British officials had given no indication
of the course which the negotiations be-
tween Lord Kitchener and Lord Msner
and the Boer delegates at Pretoria were
taking.
That conferences are occurring regard
ing the basis upon which peace shall
be declared is the sum total of the infor-
nation which the war office mas vouch-
safed up to the present though 1t is. In
timated that a definite announcement of
the result, peaceful or otherwise may
speedily be expected. The expression that
peace Is close at hand has obviously taken
a strong hold of operators on the stock
exchange. The buying of consols con-
tinues, 1t is believed, In behalf Of well in
formed interests.

TURKEY IN TROUBLE,
Financial Strain Worse Than at Any
Time Since 1876.

New York, May IA dispatch which
has been received from Constantinople
throws a lurid light on the financial
strain of the Turkish government, cables
the London correspondent of the Tri-
bGne.
The situation apparently is worse than
at any time since its bankruptcy in 1876.
There is good ground for believing that
the new Grand War Said. is at present
cont emplating confscation of the reve-
nues already ceded to foreign countries
about $13,000O0 a year net. This could be
done very easily, though 1t is likely that
England and France would make a Wig
orous protest.

EXPRESSIVE PHRASES.

Those Which Foreigners Coming to
AmericdLearn to Use First.
What are the most expressive phrases
in colloquial English? OF the dozens
that slip off English speaking tongues
in the course of day some must be
better suited for their purpose and
more characteristic of the race that
originated them than others. When
foreigners come to this country, they
catch certain expressions almost imme-
diate1y and long before they can at
tempt to speak the language have
made them part of their vocabulary.
1t would seem that these phrases must
be. the most expressive in English and
that they are peculiar to the language
and I'LL long felt want since for
eigners seize SO eagerly upon them.
Every man or woman who lands in
this country is saying, Hurry up" in
two months. In whatever quarter Of
the city one may walk. Italian or Ger
man or Jewish, mothers will be dis
patching their offspring on errands, u.s.
ing their native speech, but closing
their orders with the magic "Hurry
upw How delightfully."- characteristic
Of the nation is the phrase! It Is not
to be wondered at that the newcomers
from the slow moving old world find
that they have brought over nothing to
equal it.
Cali right" rivals hurry up" not
because foreign tongues lack similar
expressions. but because there is a jol-
ly, hail fellow well met air about "All
right lacking in other phrases of the
same character. Then. too. '.All right"
takes the place not only of Good" but
of Yes" and II understand" and of q
