EI Paao Mine at Cripple Creek Has
 am Armed Guard.
 < COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Aug. 20.-A force of over fifty miners has gone to work at the Fl Paso gold mine at Cripple Greek under the protection of an armed guard, part of which was furnished by the sheriff of Teller coun- ty and part by the Mine Owners asso- ciation. Men armed with Winchesters are guarding the shaft house and all the approaches to the mine, refusing admittance to strangers Even Presi- dent Kennison of Miners union No. 40 was refused admittance to the shaft house.
 The action is in the nature of a test case, and if no interference is made by the union miners it is understood that number of other leading mines of the district will attempt to resume opera tions also. Provisions and bedding were hauled to the El Paso mine, it being the purpose of the operators to keep the miners on the property during the pres ent labor difficulty. Work was also re- sumed on the big drainage tunnel un- der the same conditions.

 CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 2O.-The Russian demand on Turkey growing out of the recent murder of the Russian consul at Monastir, Nj. Rostkovski, have been formally presented at the Yildiz palace.
 Count Lamsdorf, the foreign minis ter, telegraphed to M. Zinovieff, Rus sian ambassador here, that neither the sultan's expressions of regret, the visit of Prince Ahmed, the sultanss son, to the ambassador ner the expressions of sympathy of the grand vtzier and other high Turkish dignitaries were consid- cred adequate satisfaction for the n1url der of M. Rosfkovski.
 The czar ordered the following de naands to be made:
 The immediate severe punishment of the murderer, the arrest and exemplary punishment of the person who fired at NJ. Rostkovski's carriage, immediate production of positive proofs that the van of Monastir has been actually ban isf1ed and the appointment of European officers for the gendarmerie.

ON THEE ERoNrIHR.

Polfs will be lively during the en- gagement of "On the Frontier, which, opens this evening and contin- ues during the rest of the week, With a special matinee on Saturday. The play is a stirring mefodrana, which deals with life among the Indians in and near the government reservation in the Black Hills. It Is replete with action, and the characters are true to life types. Comedy and healthy senti- ment as ski1ffuI1y explointed, the mana gers, Messrs. Hoastein, Mohn and Han non, claim. Every advantage has been taken of. the scope provided by the anthoress, Annie Lewis Johnson, for picturesque stage settings, and some very novel electrical effects will form part and parcel of of the production. The company carries two expert cleo tricians, three carpenters and two property men. also a band of full fedged Apache Indians, feathers, war paint and all These Indians perform q ghost dance during the progress of the play, and their war whoops lend realistic versimilitude to the more strenuous scenes Some of the weap- ons used by the Indians did blood thirsty work during tribal feuds. One member of the band an old warrior nearly seventy years old, points with pride to the record of one hundred and ten scalps. Messrs. Holstefn, Mohn and tHannon are under heavy bonds to the United States government to insure the safe return of the Indians ID their reservation at the close of
 Se.tour. Prices are popular.

MEXICAN INDIAN coURTsHIP
Bashful Maidens Have to Take the Initiative in Their Love
 Affairs.

The custom of the country requires the girl to do all the courting. She is just as bashful as the young swain whom she wishes to fascinate, but she has to take the initiative in love af- fairs, says Unknown Mexico" by Carl Lumholtz. The young people meet only at the feasts, and after she has got mildly under the influence of the native beer that is liberally consumed by all, she tries to attract his atten- ton by dancing before him in a clumsy way up and down on the same spot, But so bashful is she that she consistently keeps her back turned to- ward him. She may also sit down near him and pull his blanket and sing to him in gentle, low voice a simple love song, such as Beautiful Man to Be Sure" If occasion re- quires, the parents of the girl may say to the parents of the boy: "Our daughter wants to marry your son. D Then they send the girl to the boys home that the young people may be- come acquainted. For two or three days perhaps they do not speak to each other, but finally she playfully begins to throw pebbles at him. If he does not return them she understands that he does not care for her. If he throws them back at her she knows that she has won him. She lets her blanket drop and runs of Into the woods. and he is not long in following

JOINT NAVAL ACTION
Powers Will Make Display h
 Turkish Waters.
ITALIAN FLEET ORDERED TO SGIL.
SquaSErons of England, France and Austria VIII Cooperate In En- forcing PrOm4ned Reforms
 I'm Macedonia.

LONDON, Aug. 2o.-The Italian am hassador here has received a dispatch from Rome, announcing that an Ital- ian squadron had been ordered to Macedonian waters to watch events" The embassy officials were unable to say whether it was a result ot Russia sending a squadron to Turkish waters or not
 Admiral Domville, commanding the British Mediterranean fleet, now off Portugal, has received urgent orders to detach some vessels to the neighbor- hood of Salonika immediately.
 It is learned in official quarters that the action of Russia in ordering na- val squadron to Turkish waters may be speedily followed by important joint naval action on the part of the powers Concentrations are at present being exchanged between the powers relative to joint naval demonstration before Salonika.
 The final determination will depend largely upon Russia, but if a joint demonstration fs determined upon the fleets of England, France and Austria will certainty cooperate, and 1t is prob able that the fleets of all the other Eu- ropean powers having Turkish inter ests, except possibly Germany, which throughout has not favored taking en- ergetic steps against Turkey, will take part in the Demonstration.
 Tn the meantime the Russian squad ron will not proceed to Constantinople, as has been reported, but will rendeZ- vous off small port of the vilayet of AdrianopIe, above the entrance of the Bosporus. For the present this squad ron has DO orders to assume an aggres- sive course. It's action will depend on Turkeys fulfIlment of the terms of Russia's final demands in connection with the assaSsina ton of Consul Rost- koVsh The punishment of number of the parties implicated Is not consid- cred to be full compliance with the terms of the demands, which include an adequate indemnity.
 Besides the RostkoEski incident, the proposed joint naval action before Sa- lonika is due to the earnest representa- ttons of the foreign consuls at Saloni- ka, who set forth that their lives are in danger.
 The assassination of M. Rostkovski is giving such emphasis to the statement of the consuls that consideration of a joint naval demonstration of sufficient strength to impress Turkey with the necessity for taking decisive action looking to the maintenance of order in Macedonia is now in progress. The ex- changes of communications have shown that Russia and Austria con tinue to cooperate in the action taken toward Turkey.

Wall Street Disturbed by Supposed Explosfon.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-There was another panic in Wall street. It didn't affect stocks, however, and it was caused by harmless thunderclap, which was misinterpreted by the sur face and aerial population of the finan- cial district, who swarned into the streets in the lower part of the city looking for the signs of some terrible disaster.
 The boom of the thunder which caused all the trouble came at 1 :45 o'clock.
 Tn the vicinity of the Stock Ex- change, where the crash seemed to be the loudest, pedestrians were startled and ran back into Wall street, thinking that disaster had occurred very near them. As they ran others followed, and in a few minutes Wall street was packed from side to side. At the same time people in the vicinity of Exchange place began to move quickly toward Broadway, where there are one or two buildings in process of construction This thor0ughfare was packed in few minutes.
 Business was practically suspended throughout Wall street during the De rfod of this excitement. Telephone mes sages carried more inquiries about ex- ploSions, collapse of buildings, falling of elevators, etc., than they did about stocks, and during the rest of the after noon messages came from all over town asking fer details of the great dnwn- town explosion
