Instinctive Niimlcrx.

A remarkable example of the power
Of mimicry possessed by some persons,
but altogether lacking in others, was
furnished by the late Professor Rob-

Professor T. q. Thorpe, recalls many
interesting instances of Roberts-Aus-
tens singular gift, which was purpose
ly exercised only occasionally for the
entertainment of his scientific con-
freres at a club meeting. But what
lends special interest to the case was
the fact that Roberts-Austen frequent

such cases there was no consciousness

The managers OF the Denver smell.
tiers were taken completely by sur.
prise recently when at meeting Of
the smeltermen's union strike was
declared, taking effect at once, and
they were wholly unprepared for the
walkout which followed. BY the draw
ing of the fires from under the fur
naces at the Grant and Globe smelters
the risk of heavy loss to the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining company was
incurred.
At the two smelters there are II
furnaces full Of ore and should they
freeze up" they will have to be blast
ed out and rebuilt. 1t is said by those
informed on the situation that this
strike is the first move In q general
campaign for an eight hour day for all
unions afiliated with the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners and that the fight
will be to finish.
There are $500 men employed in
the three smelters Of Denver, but the
Argo plant which is independent OF
the trust, will probably not be involved
in the strike. In the disturbance in
the Globe smelter, attending the with
drawal of the men, Engineer Edwards
was struck ON the head with club
and badly injured.
A train of ~ ore cars were derailed
at the entrance Of the Globe smeltei
by a caulked switch.

TREATY SIGNED.
Naval and coaIing Stations Of Island
of Cuba.

Havana, July 5.-The treaty cover
ing the naval and coaling stations and
the treaty placing the Isle of Pines I'M
der Cuban sovereignty has been
signed.
The two treaties, which are the last
of the six between the United States
and Cuba, were subscribed in dupli-
cate at the secretary of states office.
The signers were Minister Squiers,
Senior Garcia Montez, secretary of the
treasury and acting secretary of state
in Senior Zaldo's absence. The others
present were Senior Bevia, assistant
secretary of state; Senior Diego, chief
of the department of justice, the lega-
ton secretaries and Minister Squiers'
eldest son.
The Isle of Pines treaty was signed
last. While turning over the island to
the absolute sovereignty of Cuba, the
treaty safeguards the rights and privi-
leges of the American residents on the
island as though they were on Ameri-
can territory. Property, judicial and
educational rights are especially guar
anteed, as well as the conveniences
for reference to the registration of
property and other building business
1t is pointed out that the American
landholders are better of in respect
to taxation than they would be under
United States sovereignty.
There was no difficulty or delay In
reaching an agreement upon the sub.
ject Of the Isle of Pines treaty but the
naval stations lease was the subject
of long and tedious negotiations.
President Palma and Minister
Squiers could easily have reached an
agreement, but the president consulted
numerous senators, congressman and
others, whose opinions carried consid
cradle weight, with the result that
many suggestions were made and
some minor misunderstanding fol
lowed. The question Of smuggling was
especially slow in settlement, the Gu
ban proposals being SO exacting as to
be impracticable.
| The possession of the naval and
coaling stations will be perpetual, the
rental price being purely nominal and
based on the question of acquiring
sites and stations by the Cuban gov
eminent, the United States advancing
any money for the purchase of private
lands at Guantanamo and Bahia.

THUGS GATHER IN 500 IN CASH
AND VALUABLE WATCHES.
Conductor Tried to Escape. but Shots
From Gun Of Robber Brought Him
Rack-Robbery Occurred same
Place Previous Holdups-Thres
Thugs Escape.

Tacoma, Wash. July THE third
holdup within FIVE days was success
fully made on an inbound South Ia
coma streetcar early In the morning,
the carmen and four passengers being
compelled to hold their hands up while
the highwaymen relieved them of more
than 500 in cash and three valuable
watches.
The holdup was completed only af-
ter lively chase by one of the foot
pads after Conductor G. N. Archer and
the firing OF two shots at the fleeing
carman. The attack occurred on the
exact spot where the holdup was per-
petrated by three men, apparently the
same three. about five weeks ago-at
the safety switch just across the long
South Tacoma avenue bridge, and in
the full glare of the electric lamp sus-
pended just above that crossing.
When the car stopped for the
switch three men jumped ON and, with
drawn revolvers, ordered the motor
man to throw up his hands. At the
same instant Conductor Archer heard
the order in front, and, springing back
across the platform. started on dash
across the Tacoma avenue bridge with
one of the robbers in close pursuit.
The pursuing robber commanded him
to halt and enforced his command with
two revolver shots. one of the bullets
being distinctly heard by Conductor
Archer as it whizzed past.
AS the highwayman was gaining and
shooting at the same time, there was
nothing for the conductor to do but
surrender, though he had made about
two thirds the distance across the
long bridge. He was searched ON the
spot, and the days receipts, amount
ing to $46.15, and 81 of his own money
and a gold watch costing $50 were
taken from him. He was then marched
back and placed inside the car with
the other victim.
After the cleanup" the robbers
made the motorman take his place,
and left the car. telling the carmen to
tight out for town.
