ever, and it ended IN the mems going
out with the determination to starVe

their own terms.
CAUSED GREAT SUFFERING.
And starve they did In fact It was
not long before the whole country be-
gan To ring with the tale of
sufferings at Bethesda on the part OF
those who could not buy bread 10 eat
and who were being elected from their
homes, and MS result N5OOOO was
raised by popular subscription 10 re-
lieve the distress. Notwithstanding
this, over 100 people actually died of
want. Others went mad from the mis-
cries of their condition. Shop-keepels
in Bethesda failed one after another,
and the place began to decay. Mean
while. Lord Penrhyn was bringing in
new men from outside to work his
quarries and these "bradyrs," as they
were called, and their families were
set upon by the strikers and bloodshed
was often the result.
KING EDWARDS ATTEMPT.
King Edward attempted to end the
trouble by sending for the representa-
tives of the men and making sugges-
tons which he thought might be en-
dorsed by Lord Penrhyn, but the peer
would not accept the proposed compro-
mise. Then Queen Alexandra tried her
hand by suggesting to Lord RoseDery
and Sir Thomas Upton that they offer
to arhitrate between the baron and his
men, but both men declined to NEEDLE.
Mr. Carnegie's attempt TO solve the
problem, it may be recalled took the
form of an enterprise tn open new
Quarries not far from the Penrhyn
ones, and to run them In competition
with those of his lordship. The Welsh
peer, however proved too much for the
laird of Skibo by acquiring every foot
of land i'm the district before the North
Wales Quarries, Ltd as the new COM
pany was called, could decide where to
commence business, Probably most
people will remember the circumstances
under which the whole question OF the
strike came into parliament. The gov
eminent had declared its inability to
interfere and the opposition made n
determined but Intellectual attempt to
get vote of censure passed-the result
Of which might have been the fall OF
the Conservative ministry.
REoPENING OF MINES.
Meanwhile, the Lord of Pcnrhyn was
not finding the situation a picnic. In
1901, he succeeded in re-opening the
mines, but for year carried ON work
at u loss instead of the profit of $3.50 600
n year. TO which he had been used
Since the beginning of the present year,
however, no one has doubted the out
come OF the strike. About 500 Of the
men had gone back to work OF their
own accord before the leaders officially
threw up the sponge day or two ago,
and since then Lord Penrhyn's man
ager has been inundated with letters
from former strikers who are anxious
to be taken back. As many as possible

be comparatively small, so many berths
having been filled from outside.

Special Correspondence.


Hilo, Island Of Hawaii, Nov. 1i.--De-
tails OF the present eruption Of Mauna
Loa take time in the getting together,
As matter OF fact few persons ascend
the jagged, almost impassablc, noun
tain to its very top-few persons and n
large proportion Of those Engli. hmcn,
one Englishwoman, the indefatigabie
Mrs. Isabella Bird Bishop, witnessed
at close hand Mauna Loa's most terrific
modern eruption. that of 1881. and
has given the most vivid and poetic
description OF the great mountains do
ings when It bellows and belches forth
its rage ana fury, The natives here

tury Of Christianizlng, still believe in
their heart Of hearts that the eruptions
OF Mauna Loa and Kllauea, near by,
are manifestations OF the anger of the
mighty flame haired volcano goddess
Of Hawaii because the people have
forsaken her worship and permit, Sl
themselves to be civilized, Maybe the
goddess calls II civilized, but obseryant
white folk hardly term II that.
What an eruption OF Mauna Loa Is
you can understand from a few words
written by Isabella Bird Bishop after
her noted ascent of the great noun
tain. She says:
Hours passed as ] watched the in
descrabable glorles of the fire noun
tain, its beauty of form and its radiant
reelection in the precipices 800 feet high,
which wall II In. and listened 10 it's
surges beating and the ebb and flow OF
its thunder music. Then strange
thing occurred. The jets which for long
had been playing at a height of 800 feet,
suddenly became quite low aud for
few seconds appeared as cones of fire
wallowing i'm the sea OF light; then
with a roar like the sound OF gather

QUAINT MIRACLE PLAY.

Thibet Is the land OF quaint rites, one
OF the queerest being the extraordinary
miracle play which is given on the left
bank OF the Indus every year by the
priests to impress the people. Here a
huge stage is built upon which the
monks and lamas rush, dressed in queer
yellow robes with peaked hoods which
fall back presently and reveal the most
hdeous masks ever invented. In this
guise they leap about franticaly
beating drums and tambourines, while
every once in n while they are Joined
by crowd Of horribly painted naked
figures who are SUI, posed to represent
the souls Of dead men. Yellow twigs
are handed 10 these actors by a priest
who flicks each bit OF wood with holy

therein. and afterward these rNigs arr

President Roosvelt's Democracy

Of Theodore Roosevelt, John Bur roughs, the naturalist who made the "trip through the Yellowstone park with the President has this to say: MT. Roosevelt is as whole-souled and genuine in everything he does as any one can be. Those who believe he is posing are mistaken. He likes to hunt big game, but doesn't care much for fishing or for shooting small game with a shotgun. and that is thoroughly char acteristic of the man. It is the great problems, the big work of the presi- dency, that he enjoys. and not the fame and applause he receives
 Which prompts the Cincinnati Times Star to remark: This is the expres- sion of a man who has known the pres ident under conditions where a mans true nature is pretty sure to show itself and shams are utterly out of the ques- ton. A few of the presidents detract- ors could study these words of MT. Burroughs with profit to themselves. It has been said by a few of MT. Roosevelt's arch enemies that his ap- parent democracy was a mere pose. | Only those who are either so radical in their opposition to MT. Roosevelt as to be practically blinded to real condi- tions or who do not know the presi- dent at all would have the courage to make this claim
 The real democracy Of Theodore Roosevelt is one of the most potent of the many causes of his popularity with already come to know the president well enough to understand that in this democracy there is nothing that is not | essentially genuine and sincere.

SpineIess Republicans.

There are spineless republicans who
say that if the party does not do some
thing with this Cuban business there
will be reckoning to pay in the next
congress election. The same thing was
said last winter and last spring about
the November elections. Well, the re-
publican congress beat the Cuban tariff
reduction scheme then, and the republi-
can party never before had such a con-
gress election victory as it had at the
following November election. 1t de-
feated the Cuban tariff reduction
scheme, but it had an unprecedented
triumph right on top of that act, be-
cause the republican party is not for
free-trade and because the people of the
United States are not for free trade.
Evidently the people who make all the
noise about Cuban reciprocity haven't
any votes. The people who have the
votes are not casting them against the
republican party on account of Cuba.
Nor are they making any noise over it.
When the work is begun of tampering
with the tariff and killing American
industries the people who haveI.t the
votes will make great deal of noise
and at the pollsl-New York Press.
