THE PRECAUTIONS which are being taken for
the safety of Prince Henry may seem needless
to some persons, but it is well to bear in mind
that in country of SO, 900, 900 there are neces-
sarily few feather-headed persons who are
willing to do violence for the sake of little
temporary notoriety, even at some personal
risk to themselves. Nobody supposed until
the Eruption that there was such boor in
Congress as Wheeler, of Kentucky, showed
himself to be. There are doubtless Wheelers
outside Of Congress who would be glad to put
the Wheeler barbarity into concrete form if
they got chance. The safeguards for the
Prince which are being taken are wise.

Safe-volcano in Guatemala
Spreads Destruction.

San Francisco, Nov. 20.-The first
of the refugees from the devastated
lands of Guatemala have arrived on
the Pacific mail steamer City of Para.
They sailed on November Z, when the
volcano was still smoking, and rum
bling of thunder and flashes Of light
ming gave evidence Of more eruptions
to come. The people fed from their
escaped to the seaside with little more
than the clothing they wore.
The refugees confirm stories Of loss
of life. They had not heard of any
white people being lost, but thousands
of Indians We're asphyxiated or buried
in the sand. Miles of plantations are
under ashes and absolute ruin is the
lot of many planters. One refugee
comes from within half an hours ride
of General Barillos, and brings infor.
nation that the general and his family
are safe.

OPERATORS NOT HARD HEARTED
Roberts Claims That They Do Not
Try to Grind Men Down to Last
Penny in Wases-says That Re-
ports Have Been Exaggerated.

Scranton, Nov. 20.-The cross ex-
animation of Rev. DIR. Peter Roberts
was continued before the strike com
mission today. Roberts said that a
comparison Of the fatalities on all the
railroads in the United States, with
those in the anthracite fields show
that 2.66 per every 1000 railroad en-
ployes are killed and In the anthracite
industry the fatalities of switchmen,
fagmen and watchmen in 1900, he
stated to have been $50 per 1000,
against 5.5 per 1000 among the min,
ers and mine laborers.
Not Hard Hearted.
The question of arriving at fair
price on rock in connection with Goa
mining, DR.. Roberts said, was one that
could be adjusted by the mine en-
ployes and the companies. He said il
was far from the truth to characterize
the operators as hard hearted and un
just and seeking constantly to grint
the men down to the last penny o1
wages, as had been charged.
Reports Exaggerated.
Mr.. Roberts said that the newspa
per reports of violence had been great
ly exaggerated. The acts Of intimida
ton, violence and boycott cannot al
be attributed to the union. When tn,
operators refused to arbitrate tn,
men were forced to strike to gain thei
demands. They grew hungry in th
struggle, and a hungry man is danger
ous.''

and agitators are constantly stirring
up their followers TO disturb that or

their wives and ministers and blow up
the houses OF private individuals.
They want to intimidate us. but they
will not succeed Even if they struck
down the head of the state 1t would
make no difference as he would soon
be replaced. / don't know how long l

live, but can assure you that all the
rest of my life will be devoted, within
the limits of my constitutional pow

protection of Its liberties"
