CANADIAN SOLDIERS PROTECT
PROPERTY OF LAKE suPE.
RioR COMPANY.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Oct. L.
Mounted infantry and Canadian mill
tia now patrol the Canadian 500 gen.
orally and the points where the Con-
,solidated Lake Superior company has
feared possible acts of violence by the
large number Of discharged employees,
but quiet prevails throughout the re-
gion in which the company is inter-
ested.
About 300 men employed in the
woods at Wilde, who had been. de-
tanned at Wilde by the company for
several days, arrived on the Algoma.
Central railroad at night, in charge
of the soldiers sent there in the morn
ing and received their pay checks.
They were given tickets for several
meals and departed without causing
trouble.
Colonel Buchan, who Is in command:
of the troops, the remainder of which
arrived in the morning, has ordered
twenty-five soldiers to guard the dyna-
mite magazines of the company along
the railroad.
Colonel Buchan is confident that
the seriousness of the situation Is
over. He said that he would probably
order a number Of the soldiers back
to Toronto % He believes that the
local militia, reinforced by several de-
tachments already here, will be able
to cope with any possible danger.
There are 500 or 600 meh the company
has yet to bring in, including a NUM-
Der beyond Wilde. The remainder
are from the mining region around
Michipicoten, and they will probably
arrive on a steamer These men
will be given their pay slips and be
provided with several meals. Num-
bers of the discharged men have left
for other places. No more arrests be-
sides. those OF two men in the morn
ing. who were charged with intimida-
ton and melting to riot. were made.
Martial law, which was in force with
the reading OF the riot act Monday af-
ternoon, when the moi attacked the
Office OF the company. is still in force
and probably will be until the depart
sIre Of all of the troops. Mayor Plum
nor, Colonel Buchan and the officers
of the Consolidated Lake Superior
coU, any, take a hopeful view of the
trouble with the men and expect q re
turn Of normal conditions soon.

Lexington, 8. C.. Oct. 1.-During the.
seven hours devoted Wednesday to

OF the states witnesses were heard.
Some Of the cross-examinations by

DR.. B. w. Taylor, who was on the
stand when court adjourned Tuesday,
concluded his testimony Wednesday.
In answer to a question by counsel for
the state, he said the operation was

PLAYING A WAITING GAME.
No Developments of Importance ir
Minneapolis MiIinu Strike.

-2AH. 49,.
Minneapolis. Oct. lit is a waiting
game between the Minneapolis flour
mill owners and the striking en-
ployes. If the American Federation
of Labor in the state raises 500. 900
to support the strikers the great ma
jority will undoubtedly stay out.
In the meantime the millers will be
educating men to take their places
and will undoubtedly be put to great
expense. but they say they are fight
ing for principle and have reckoned
the cost.
About one-third Of the usual output
of the mills is being ground and ship
ped. according to the millers.
The strikers estimate the output at
about one-half what it is announced
to be. They also deny that thirty
five of the men have gone back to
work.

BRITISH AMBASSADORS TO THE
UNITED STATES EXPIRES IN
SWITZERLAND.
LONG AND PLuckY BATTLE
SIR MICHAEL HERBERT HAD EX-
PEcTED TO BE BACK IN LON
DON LAST WEEK.

LIN ~ LIE 0A10Oo0A0OA w SAS
United States, died Wednesday at
Davos-Platz. Switzerland, after a long
and plucky fight against consumption,
which terminated with tragic sudden
ness. The first announcement OF the
ambassadors untimely end was made
at the afternoons session OF the Alas
kan boundary commission. Hannis
Taylor, in behalf Of the United States,
had finished his lengthy argument at
3 p. m. and Sir Edward Carson, the
solicitor general, was replying with
an intricate legal argument dealing
with maps and the ancient Vancouver
controversy, which was half-heartedly
paid attention to by those present,
and several of them made preparations
to leave the hall as the solicitor gen
eral delved still deeper in the dry as
dust details when Chief Justice Alver-
stone held up his hand and Sir Edward
sat down.
A second later, the commits zion,
counsel, secretaries and spectators sat
spell-bound, as Lord A1verstone, with
trembling voice and tears coursing
down his cheeks, announced that Sir
Michael Herbert was dead. Maps and
boundaries were utterly forgotten.
With dramatic pathos the ~internation-
al contestants became fellow sympa-
thizers, listening in stunned amaze
ment to Lord Alverstone's tribute to
the man whose death none aver ex-
pected.
Voiced Sorrow of Americans.
In the meanwhile Ambassador
Choo+o hn1 orfnrnd In had iv1ct anr1a
from Lord Lansdowne's room, where
he learned the news. The intense 81
lence which followed the delivery of
Lord Alverstone's tribute was broken
by Jacob M. Dickinson, of American
| rows and proposed an adjournment OF
the commission.
Solicitor General Carson followed
and the commission quietly broke up
for the day.
Friends of Sir Michael Herbert
/ came hurrying along the foreign Office
corridors to ascertain if the news was
true. On all sides, American, Cana
dian and English, genuine sorrow was
exhibited. which was evidently actual.
ed by a sense Of deep, personal loss.
Sir Michael had been at Davos'
Platz about five weeks. When he re
turned to London from America, he
confessed that he felt far from we'll
but his physicians still held hopes OF
his conruering the consumption. The
ambassador expected to leave Davos.

greet the Alaskan commissioners

quite slightingly, saying it vas only

doctor insisted. on his not going to

Lady Hergert intended to leave
Switzerland a short time age with her
children; but she apparently changed
her plans and remained at Davos.

Several Grievances.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 1.-The con-
Citation board held a strenuous and
rather obdurate session Wednesday,
the members being deadlocked on
several of the important grievances.
Only two questions were finally de-
cided. A tie vote resulted in three
cases, two were withdrawn and an
umpire was called on to decide one
on which the board had deadlocked for
some time. OF the cases finally de-
cided. one related to a grievance Of
Frank Cunnon, an employee OF the Della

His charge was-not sustained.
