FOR WAR ON MINERS DISEASE.


Special Cabss Dsspdteh to THE Sun.
BERLIN, May 1.-THE commission ap-
pointed to investigate the peculiar worm
disease which is 90 prevalent among the
miners OF Westphalia that some mines
have had to be closed. recommends that a
special staff Of las physicians be employed
until the disease Is stamped out, which,
even by the use OF drastic measures. the
commission says, cannot be expected In
less than Ave years.
The parasite attacks only underground
workers, which indicates that it thrives
owing to the sufferers being largely de-
prived Of sunlight. The symptoms OF the
disease are similar to those Of anRma and
dropsy and 1t is often fatal.

MOB'S QUEER ACTIONS
SHOOT AT sHERIFF AND SET
 FIRE TO HOUSES.
Members of the Gathering Opposed to the New Reform Adminstrat- ion of the Town of Middles-
 boro, Mass.

Middlesboro, Mass. July IA mob of young men. angered by the arrest of one of their number during the night, wound- cd a deputy sheriff by shooting him in the face with a blank cartridge. assaulted a policeman, bombarded the house of a police court judge with stones and storm ed the town house in an attempt to re- lease the prisoner.
 They had previously set several fires, and when Judge Nathan Washburne. whose house was stoned, found that the local authorities were helpless to control the riotous crowd. he telephoned to near by places for police assistance.
 Aid arrived at ! o'clock, but the mob had dispersed.
 The summoned officers, however, were placed in charge of the town for the time being and a call was issued for the selectmen to meet in the emergency.
 The mob was composed of about 800 young men and boys. The trouble began at midnight. The rioters first went about town starting fires, three of which were set in houses The others were bonflres Then the mob began smashing windows and doing other damage. After several warnings. Deputy Sheriff Lincoln and Po- liceman Hatch arrested Charles White.
 The crowd attempted to rescue White, 
 man to the lookup.
 When the officers returned to the street, the crowd surrounded them, demading the release of their comrade. Some one fired a revolver loaded with a blank cartridge full in the deputys face and 1t Is feared the sight of one eye was destroyed. After the momentary quiet following the injury to the deputy the mob sent up the cry to lynch Hatch. The crowd started in pur- suit of Hatch who had left the vicinity hastily and after time he was over taken.
 The mob forced him to go to Judge Washburn's house and ask that a special session of the police court be held so that White could be set free or admitted to bail Thus Judge Washburn refused to do. The crowd retaliated by a fusilade of stones against the Judges house. Then they went to the town house. where White was confined. They tried to batter down the doors and not succeeding, broke the windows, but did not get at the prisoner.
 In the meantime Judge Washburn had telephoned to nearby towns for assist ance and at o'clock six deputies arrived. The mob meantime had dispersed.
 It is understood that last nights tumult was the outcome of plans made some time ago by an element in town known to be oppo0ed to the so-called reform party which ia at nresent in control of affairs.

I spoke at the dedication of monument to the sailors who followed Dewey into Manila Bay. I spoke by the side of the Pacific ocean in the great city of San Francisco.
 Why were we able to join together in pride and join to commemorate that great deed of i've years before? Partly be- cause of the vaior. the seamanship. the skill and prowess displayed on that first of May by the men in the ships; but part ly also because there had been the wis dom which made ready that fleet in ad- vance. Dewey won because he had good ships. good guns and good men trained to handle the ships to the guns. At pres ent there is not a cloud as big as hands breadth on the horizon. We are on terms of good will with all the peoples of man kind. think that they feel we'll dis posed towards us. I want a good navy not as a provocative of war, but as a guaranty against war. I want 1t as the cheapest insurance of peace. We only need small regular army but we need a first class navy adequate to the posi- ton we have in the world. Then we shall go steadily on along the course we have mapped out for ourselves as a people.
