English Miners Cannot Afford to Go
on Strike.

London, Oct 10.-The possibility of a
strike by British coal miners in sympa-
thy with American strikers has been
mooted in some quarters, but the sug-
gestion has no support of any kind. On
the contrary. activity in the coal trade
and the high prices brought about by
the American and French strikes mill
tate against any such movement here.
Benjamin Pickard, NJ P, and Sam
Woods and other leaders of British coat
miners have been interviewed on the
subject of the coal strikes. While they
express great sympathy with the Amer
lean miners, they declined even to ex-
press an opinion as to the fairness of
their claims on the ground that they
were not sufficiently informed of the
merits and circumstance of the case.

Seabrooke took off his coat and collar,
and began pacing up and down the shop
in his peculiar. nervous, restless way. a
few moments later a man hastily entered
the shop, took off his linen coat, and.
turning to Seabrooke, said:
Are you ready for business2"
Seabrooke replied: That's what I'm
waiting for and walked toward the l.
cant chair. The newcomer did the same,
and both reached opposite sides of the
chair at the same time, and made ready
to occupy it.

stranger.

STRIKE IN TOPEKA.
Union Carpenters On New Santa
Fe Machine Shop Quit.

Fourteen union carpenters working on
the new machine and boiler shop at the
Santa Fe yards struck this morning for
the purpose Of forcing the contractor
w. r. Carter, OF Lawrence, to discharge
a union man named L. Boehen. OF
Lawrence. Theye are now no union HleD
at work on the carpentry of the big
building. Three or four non-unfon car
penters are still at work.

tor, Is not in Topeka. but will come as
soon as he can get through on the trains

stead.
The union men who struck are nearly all
Topeka men Several of the leaders were
asked to explain the reasons for their &C
ton.
It appears that Boehen, the non-union
man who has caused the trouble, has been
working for Contractor Carter for twenty
years and that formerly he was q union
man. He quit the union, he claims, be-
cause he did not like some of the men in
it The union men claim he was dis
charged because he would not pay his
dues 1t is said that he offered to quit his
place if Mr. Carter would request him to
do so, but Carter told him to stay at work
This precipitated the strike, which has
been rumored for several days.
The union men are said to claim that
Carter agreed to employ none but union
men on the job.

the annual output averaged 269, w tons
During 1900 the production rose to 5s4,-
462 tons. and in 1901 to the maximum
output of 65S.659 tons. The rapid devel-
opment OF the gypsum industry has risen
mainly from two causes: the Increased
use Of plaster of paris in the manufac-
ture of wall plaster in modern buildings
because of it's superiority in hardness
and durability to lime plaster and the
large quantities consumed In the manu-
facture of staff" for the construction
of temporary buildings, particularly ex-
position buildings.
The quantity of crude gypsum sold In
1901 was 1865 tons, valued at $76,7 7S, as
compared with 35,479 tons, valued at
$44,127 in 1900, an increase of approx
mately los per cent over the produc-
ton of 1900. The value per ton. of the
product, however, decreased from $1.24
in 1900, to $1.06 in 1901, the lowest price
reported since 1890. Most of the gyp-
sum sold in the crude state Is used for
land plaster, being ground for this pur-
pose by custom mills.
The production of gypsum in the Uni
ted States during the last three years
has been derived from II states and ter
ritories, and although this mineral &C.
ours In other states, the development of
the properties has not yet been consid-
cred advantageous. The proportion of
the total output of gypsum used to pro-
duce plaster of paris has risen during
the last IL years from about IS per cent
to about so per cent in 1901. A note
worthy feature Of the gypsum industry
during the year has been the consolida-
ton of some 26 Independent companies
in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New York
and Oklahoma into the United States
Gypsum company. In the order of pro-
duction for 1901, Iowa. Kansas and Tex
as, grouped together, come first, with
213, 419 short tons, followed by Michigan,
second, with 1856, $50 short tons, and by
New York, third, with 9,565 short tons,

walls.

SAFES BLOWN OPEN.
Passengers We're Lined Up and
Relieved Of Valuables.

Salida, Colo, July IA report was
received here shortly before noon today
to the effect that the Denver & Rio
Grande narrow gauge passenger train
which left here early last night, was
held up and robbed by several men near
Sargents, west Of Marshall Pass.
The robbery took place at $3.50 o'clock
today at Chester, Colo, 250 miles west
Of Denver. The engineer was compelled
at the point of a revolver to stop the
train by masked men who had climbed
over the tender. Two safes in. the ex-
press car were blown open, but it Is
claimed by the officers of the RioGrande
Express company that the robbers fail
ed to secure any plumber from the safes.
The passengers were compelled to a1ight
from the cars and line up alongside the
tracks in the canon and they were re-
lieved of all their money and valuables.
Many of the passengers threw away
their money, watches and jewelry
among the rocks before the robbers
searched them. There were many tour
lists among the passengers and while it
it not known how much the robbers Sc
cured. it is presumed that the losses
were heavy.
The train was the west bound narrow
gauge passenger train which left Den
yer last night. 1t is not known how
many passengers were on board, but
the cars, as usual at this season, were
all filed. There were four masked rob-
bers.
The scene of the robbers is in a wild.
mountainous country at the foot Of
Marshall Pass on the west slope.

New York Herald: The numerous
deaths from sunstroke that always oe-
cur at this season invest the study of
their pathological causes with a mel
ancholy interest. Even when the result
of exposure to heat rays is not directly
fatal, there are very frequently effects
which persist for years. The explana-
ton for both conditions is duly apparent
when we consider the varied organic
changes which are induced by the diff
ferent kinds as we'll as different degrees
of attack, and, while all are more or less
dangerous, the necessity of instituting
the necessary preventive measures be-
comes proportionately emphasized. The
most severe form of sunstroke occurs
suddenly and often without preliminary
warning and with a mortality of about
As or 80 per cent. The mode of death is
by direct shock. involving the respira-
tory and cardiac centers, and giving
rise to the usual symptoms of arrest
of breathing and heart power. The lat
ter is supposed to be due to the rapid
coagulation of the muscular elements of
the circulatory organ by direct heat.
