WHITE SLAVE TRADE.
A CONFERENCE TO REPREsS
THE TRAFFIC. BEGINS
AT PARIS.

Paris, June i6.-It is believed that
a concerted international movement
to repress the Ubiquitous traffic in
women will result from the conference
which opened in Paris today. The
first conference OF this character, held
at London three years ago, expressed
the desire that an international agree
ment might be effected in order to IN
fluence as far as possible the same de-
gree Of punishment for the enticement
or kidnapping of women or girls by
fraud, abuse of authority or violence
and for their admission and retention
in houses of i'll repute, and to permit
the extradition of guilty parties by in
ternational treaties. As hundreds of
girls are deceived and sent to the
United States under false pretenses
each year, that country is particularly
interested in the progress and results
Of the movement looking to the re-
preston Of the traffic.

LIVELY ENCOUNTER.
CITIZEN OF GRAVES Is AT
Tackled BY A CHICKEN
SNAKE.

Wingo, KY, June lG--Mr. W. II.
Leech, one OF the best known and
most venerable citizens of this place,
reports an unusual encounter ne had
with chicken snake Saturday. He
was on his way to the barn when ne
felt something Juggling at his ankle.
Thinking it was a halter he carried,
he paid no attention to it at first, but
finally looking down, he discovered
that il was not the halter, but FIVE
foot chicken snake. II was encircled
about his leg four times, and required
some high class gymnastics, accom-
panied by vocal stunts Of unusual
merit, before the reptile was dislodg-
ed. He then dispatched the animal
with plank, when the mate appeared
on the scene of action.
Another battle ensued. whereupon
Mrs. Leech came to the rescue with a
pistol, and fred six shots into the
snakes body. This was not enough,
but load of shot finished the animal
The snakes were unusually large
specimens of this harmless variety,
measuring about five feet.
Mr.. Leech does not drink.

UTAH MINE HORROR
Powder Magazines Explode in Dnly-west
Silver Mine and Many Miners
Lose Their Lives.

Lose Their Lives.
Park City, Utah, July 1.-two
powder magazines ut the 1000 foot
level of the Daly-West mine exploded
about / o'clock n. H., causing loss
of life that ut present cannot be es-
timrted, nor even guessed at. AT 4
O'clock tweaty-seven men had been
taken out of the mine dead. and TWEEN.
ty others had been recovered in u
half-dazed condition. These were all
brought out through the Ontario mine
Shaft, which is mile distant from
the Daly-West, in which the explosion
occurred. The 1000 level of the DAILY
West corresponds to and is connected
by tunnel with the GOO level of the
Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between 100
and 100 men were mt work. In the
Ontario We're nearly 100, it is be-
lieved. 1t is not known how many of
these are dead, but the disaster ex-
tends to the Ontario, as the noXious
gases that nave been let loose are
known to be the cause of several of
the deaths. The presence of these
gases leads many miners to believe
that the powder was burned, that the
explosion, II one occurred, which, III
the excited condition of the town, II
is impossible to ascertain, with alb
solnte certainty, the chief GAUGE OF
the disaster. There are two powder
magazines at the loo level of tn,

The state board of control Monday
issued an order establishing at the Mt
Pleasant state hospital ward or wards
to be designated as the state hospital
for inebriates. This is in accordance
with an act of the last general assembly
directing such action. The Mt. Pleas
ant hospital was selected for this be-
cause it is easy of access from all parts
of the state and because the physiciane
and attendants there are more familiar
with the treatment than at other state
hospitals. The superintendent Is direct.
ed to set aside ward or wards to be
used exclusively for the treatment of
persons sent there because of the use of
intoxicants or morphine or other mar
cotics. The superintendent is directed
to keep patients separate from the in
sane, but if ward is only partially oc.
cupied insane patients may be kept
there at the discretion of the superin
tendent when he believes no harm can
come from such mingling of the dipso-
maniacs and the insane. Patients in
the inebriate ward may be given exer-
else or employment the same as insane
persons. The superintendent at the
Mt. Pleasant hospital was given notice
this morning and the county authorities
In each county will be notified that the
ward ,is now Ready to receive patients.

CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED
Freight Handlers Vote to Return to Work
and the Serious Condition of Az
fairs Is Relieved.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 17.--After ten
days of strife the Chicago freight
handlers strike terminated today
in an unqualified victory for the
railroads. A meeting of the strikers,
presided over by President Curran, re-
suited in an almost unanimous vote to
return to work, leaving the wage scale
and other questions for settlement be-
tween the men and their respective
roads.
AT the conclusion of the meeting
the strikers went by hundreds to the
warehouses to apply for their old DO
sitions, and the teamsters who have
remained out in sympathy again took
up their reins. By noon immense
quantities of freight which had been
held back for days were being rushed
to the railroads, or taken from ware
houses and cars. Where stagnation
had ruled commercial activity again
reigned. Chicago merchants expressed
unbounded relief mt the termination
of hostilities, but they We're scarcely
less happy than the men themselves,
although the strike is estimated to
have cost them $1O,OO0,OOO, to say
nothing Of the trade that has been
permanently lost to them

Fifty People Drowned.

Hamburg. July 21.-The steamship
Primus of Hamburg, with 1856 passen-
gers on board, was cut in two and sunk
by the tug Hansa on the River Elbe
at 1890 o'clock in the morning. So far
as is ascerta!nable, about fifty persons
were drowned. Thirteen bodies already
have been recovered. The Primus was
an excursion steamer from Buxtehude,
province of Hanover, PRUSSIA. The dis
aster occurred between Blackener and
Nienstaden. Among the passengers
were the members of the Eilbacl Male
Choral society.
AT the time of the accident the Pri-
mus was crossing the river channel
near Blankenez from the southern into
the northern fairway. According to
witnesses aboard the aHnsa the move
ment was made too precipitatory. The
Primus struck the tugs engine room
and the Hansa endeavored to push her
ashore, but the tug grounded and the
ships parted. The Primus then sank.
In the interval, however, about9-fifty
