The mines are damp and, according to the statement of Saunders, who walked from the mines to the Rio Grande, the food was coarse bread and pork and the rentals 80 exhorbitant that every miner who remained there six months would be in debt to the company for six years. Hovels were provided for homes and the men and women were treated as prisoners.
 Men in the employ of the company went about the reservation armed and cordon of these mine representatives stretched around the mine for radius of ten miles.
 One night three of the Texans es- capped and kthree days later were brought back almost dead. Two had been unmercifully beaten and the third starved. Within the past two weeks ten miners have escaped and all of them had to walk to Texas. To ride on the trains would mean to be returned to the mines.

Mixed Names of Forts

St. Petersburg-A confusion of Olongampho, which is in Subig bay, near Manila, with Yongampho, on the Yalu river, has led the Russian press into a curious attack. on the United States. The statement that Rear Ad- miral Evans squadron was to proceed to Olongampno was either garhled in transmission or misunderstood, for it was reported that the destination of the American ships was "Yongam- pho." This error was made the basis of an attack on the motives of the United States by the Novoe Vreyma, and Listok, both papers pretending to see in this move the entrance of the United States in the quarrel. The Novoe Vreyma remarks: "At least America will be an open enemy, which is preferable to a secret one."

the state court was reversed and the case remanded to the state courts for further proceedings, not inconsistent with this opinion.
 The opinion was based on the Carter trial in which it was held that the exclusion of all persons of the African raco from grand jury which finds an indictment against a negro in a state court, when they are excluded solely because of race or color, denies him equal protection of the laws in violation of the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States, whether such exclusion is through the action of the legislature, through the courts or through the ex- ecutive or administrative officers of the state.

Washington--The United States supreme court has again reaff1rmed the ruling made in the case of Carter vs. the State of Texas, to the effect that the exclusion of negroes from grand juries in cases involving crim- inal charges again t members of their race is in violation of the constitution and therefore not permissible. The decision was delivered by Justice Holmes in the case of resident of Alabama, named Rogers, who was indicted for murder by a grand jury composed entireyly of white men and from which it is charged that all the negroes were excluded because of their color. The supreme court of the state upheld the regularity of the proceedings, but Rogers brought it to the Federal court on "a writ of error,

AGAINST GERMAN RULE
AFRICANS ARE MURDERING THE
 SETTLERS
Germans Will Hold to What They Have jn Southwest Africa aad the Reiehstag Promptly Supports the Measures

Berlin-Further advices from Ger man Southwest Africa say the Hereros are numbering settlers and burning homesteads over wide areas. The German colonial troops in the dis turbed districts are wholly insufficient to deal with the revolted natives. Chancellor von Buelow submitted to Emperor William the dispatches re- ceived on the subject by the govern ment and the emperor sent for War Minister von Enem and Admiralty Secretary von Tirpitz. The decision of the conference was to ask the reichstag immediately to authorize the sending of endorsements.
 Addressing the lreichstag immedi- ately after it had assembled the chan cellor said it had become his duty to inform the house of the serious posi- tion of the German settlers in south west Africa through the revolt of the Heroros. They had killed a number of settlers who were fleeing to the stations, had destroyed houses and farm improvements and had driven off cattle of great number of farmers who are now unable to leave the pro- lection of the stations. The insurrec- tion came at a time when the governor and large portion of the colonial troops were subduing the Bondelzwart tribe, twenty days march away. In consequence of this, and the remain ing forces being scattered among the previous places of refuge in the middle of the colony the natives were seriously threatening Okajumdjy, Otojumbingwe and Karabib and even Windhoek itself. The government, ordered 800 men with six machine guns and six pieces of artillery to be placed in readiness for active service but a start will not be made until January 30. ..t... ., The serious intelligence received made it necessary to send out immed- lately battalion of 500 marines in addition to the other troops with a complement of guns and railroad pioneers. The gunboat Habicht had been ordered from Cape Town and was due at Swakompund. Moreover, 23OO men previously dispatched will
 
 reach Swakompund February B. The German people, continued the chan cellor, would answer the call for help of the faithful servant of the state and the colonists.

 Galveston, Tezas--Over 300 miners, many of them with families, are held in bondage in the mines at Espinoza, Mexico, about 100 miles from the border, in the state of Coahuila. Their treatment is worse than slavery. Such is the story told by Charles Saunders, who escaped from the closely guarded reservation, and his statement has been verified by others who have reached Texas. Over 100 of these miners were taken from the coal mines at Thurber, Texas just after the labor troubles there two months ago. They were promised good wages, good

PURE FOOD BILL PASSED
HEAVY MAJORITY FAvORS HEP
 BURN MEASURE
Efforts Made to Force Government to Prove Intent to Violate Law by Vendors of Adul!er ated Food are Frustrated

Washington-The house passed the Hepburn pure-food bill on rising vote-20l to 68- its opponents being unable to secure roll-call on the bill. The amendment of inserting the word "willful" with reference to per- sons who sell adulterated or mis- branded goods and which would have compelled the government to prove intent to violate the law by the ven- ders, was stricken out on yea and nay vote in the house. Several attempts were made to amend the bill, but no material changes were made.
 The bill fixed the standard of foods and drugs as to their purity, stren0th and character and defines what shall be considered adulteration or mis- branding of foods and drugs. 1t also prohibits interstate commerce, impor- tation and exportation of such mis- branded or adulterated articles.
 It is proposed to enlarge the scope of the bureau of chemistry to include the bureau of foods and impose upon it the duty of performing all chemical work for the other executive depart ments. This bureau will be charged with the duty of inspecting food and drug products which belong to inter- state or foreign commerce. The sec retary of agriculture is given author ity to employ such chemists, inspec- tors, clerks and laborers as may be necessary for the enforcement of the act.
 One section of the bill provides penalties for the introduction of adulterated or misbranded foods or drugs and another section requires the secretary of agriculture to prescribe rnles and regulations to govern the director of the bureau of chemistry and foods in examination of articles required to be inspected under the law.
 Vii latlons of the law shall be re. ported by the secretary of agriculture to the proper district attorney of the United States, who is to direct and cause proceedings to be prosecuted without delay.

HE SERVED HIS TIME
Oscar Rogers, the Train Robber, Was
 Not Pardoned.

Oscar Rogers, enc oe the train rob- bers who held up a Southern Pacific train near Maricopa about eleven years ago, was lately released from the penitentiary and some of the papers of the southern part of the territory fell into the error of saying that he had been pardoned. As a matter o4 fact Rogers became a free man by the expiration of his term. He was tried for train robbery in Pinal county, hay ing been captured within two days af- ter the commission of his crime. That was one of the earliest train robberies in the territories though stage robber- ies had been frequent.
 A law had been framed fer the dis enlargement of train robbery and un- der that law when Rogers was con- victed he was sentenced to be hanged. Some time before the date for the eX- ecution of the sentence Governor Franklin came into office. He commut- ed the sentence to imprisonment in the penitentiary for forty years. Even that softened sentence after the people had had time to think about it was be- lieved to be excessive and when Gov ernor Franklin was succeeded by Gov ernor M'Cord the sentence was furth- CT commuted to fifteen years. That time counting time off for gcod behav- for expired a little more than a week ago.
 Rogers by the way was not the name of the prisoner He was Swede and had been living in the territory for some time most of the time in the Ton to Basin where he was a cowboy. He had several associates in the robbery one of them Frank Armer and anoth- CT a man by the name of Callahan. Callahan was never captured and he was never heard of from the time he left the scene of the robbery.
 Armer and Rogers were found the morning after the robbery a few miles below the city. In a fight with the of ficers Armer was badly wounded and Rogers who was a swift runner es- capped. He was captured a few days afterward by a bcy in the neighbor~
