PRATT CITY PEOPLE
 WILL HOLD MEETING
WILL DISCUSS ACTION OF TEN. NEssEE COMPANY IN PLACING CONNECTS IN NO. 3 MINE-oTHER NEWS.

Pratt City, July 19. 9.(Special.)-The peo- pie of Pratt City will hold mass meet ing, under the auspices of the Commercial club, tomorrow night at the public h- brary The object of the meeting is to discuss in a businesslike way the action of the Tennessee company in placing con- yicts in No. mine. All the citizens of the city are invited to be present.
 From the time the announcement was made that the convicts were to be put in No. mine the citizens opposed the ac- tion strenuously. A committee waited on President Bacon of the Tennessee com pany and appealed to him, but he de- clined to take any action toward keeping the convicts out of the mine. Another committee saw Governor Cunningham, but the governor was powerless to inter fere. The same committee went before the state convict board. who requested that the complaint be presented to the board in writing. This has been done, but as yet the board has not replied.
 The convicts went to work in No. for the first time yesterday. No. has been closed down and only non-union labor and convicts are at work in No. 8. So far everything has moved off smoothly and the records made are fairly good.

ENGLISH PRESS IS
 WARLIKE IN TONE
ALL DECLARE THAT RUSSIAN SEIZURE OF BRITISH VESSELS IS NOT TO BE TOLERATED BY BRlToNS.

London, July 19.-Once again the lead ing English newspapers editorialize in the gravest tone on the Russian seizure of British vessels. Even the conserva- tive Standard declares that 'the nation books to the foreign office to take more effective action than the ordinary conven- tional diplomatic intercourse prescribed. The case is not one for fastidious treat ment. If nothing is done officially to re- lieve the painful strain, the irritation of this country may grow into stubborn re- sentiment. We cannot. even for the sake of peace. sit down under series of undis- guised provocative measures.'
 A similar warlike tone pervades almost every other. paper. The Morning Post says Great Britain cannot tolerate the seizure of the steamship Malacca. except by the abandonment of her self respect as great power The paper declares that either the volunteer steamer St. Peters burg is an armed pirate or Russia has violated the treaty of Paris. The action of Earl PePrcy, under secretary of for eign affairs, who in the house of com mons Monday asked General Laurie, con- servative and unionist, to postpone until Thursday a question which he proposed to ask regarding the doings of the Rus burg in the Req sea, the paper regards as unnecessary and dilatory. "Palmerstone" |" said the Post significantly, would not have required half an hour to make up his mind what to do in such a case"

"ohl the nigger, the niggeri" About the same time two men in buggy were seen driving to- ward Indianapolis as a rapid rate.
 The last time Miss Record was seen previous to her disappearance was by a neighbor who came to the house for a letter to girl friend This letter was after her disappearance.
 The letter is as follows:
 ''I am so nervous I can hardly write. end I'll tell you why. There have been two men here In a buggy twice, and the second time one of them asked for papa and looked SO mean that I was scared. He asked me if l stayed by myself all the time. and I told him that I did not stay by myself any of the time"
 After few formal statements the letter closed with the sentence:
 T am so glad that you are com" and then the word God. The letter was found on the floor, and a knife used in sharpen ing the pencil was found sticking in the floor. Some furniture was overturned, but there was nothing to show in what man ner the girl was taken from the house
 Officers and posses are searching the country for the girls assailant, and 1t is almost certain that violence will fol- low their capture.

WOODWARD MINES
 FAILED ID START Mines and Furnaces Will be :, Closed Three Months
OVER 1000 MEN AFFECTED
Differences Between Company and Miners Have Not Been Settled and
 Suspension is the Result.
 Greek Merchants Fined.

Bessemer, July 19.-(Special) = The Woodward mines did not start up yester- day as was predicted. It is stated that the mines and furnaces at Woodward will be shut down for three months. The suspension will throw over 1000 men out of work.
 Last Thursday the mines were closed down on account of some misunderstood ing arising among the men relative to the company saving out benefit money from their wages. It was reported last Friday that everything had been adjusted and that the mines would resume work yester- day morning, but when the men appeared to take up their duties they were notified that the mines would not resume work for some time.
 Shortly after the suspension of the Uni ted Mine Workers pending the signing of contract between the miners and the operators the Woodward company signed a temporary contract, and the miners re- stunned work. Everything moved along slowly until some differences arose be- tween the miners in regard to the benefit money This resulted in the mines clos ing. The prospects of an early resump- ton are not very bright.

LITTLE RESENTMENT ExpEcTEr
Republicans of Iowa Will Meet In
 State Convention Today.

Des Moines. Ia-, July 1s.--The republi- can state convention which convenes to- morrow has so little of excitement in store as the attendance of delegates will be smaller than for some years There is no contest whatever for places on the state ticket. save for the railroad com missionership and interest in that is light. Secretary of State W. B. Martin, State Treasurer c. S. Gilbertson, State Auditor B. F. Carroll and Attorney Gen eral Charles Mullane will be nominated without opposition.
 For railroad commissioner there are five candidates in the field. but the fight seems to lie between N. S. Ketchum of Marshalltown and Dr. w. S. Porterfield of Atlantic.
 Governor Cummings tonight added con siderable interest to an otherwise dull convention gathering by vigorous de- fense oi liberal tariff views and of the Iowa idea. He declared himself in favor cf immediate revision and added that the republican national platform was broad enough for both him and the republicans who opposed revision of the 1897 schedules.

ALMOST A SENSATION.
Total Assets of Bank In Worthless
 Notes Amounting to $331,73o.

Charlotte, N. O., July 19.--What the prosecution regards as a piece of strong testimony was brought out today in the fourth trial of Maj. W. E. Breeze, late president of the First National Bank of Asheville, who is charged with taking $114,000 of the banks funds, and, together with two other officers, wrecking the institution when it was shown that the defunct bank had collected drafts for other banks to the amount of $16,000 and that no remittances had been made.
 Col. w. H. s. Burgwyn, the national bank examiner who took charge of the institution when the doors were closed, testified to this state of affairs. The drafts were collected between July 15 and July 30 tho day of the failure. The books showed that remittances had been made for the collections, and in the bank were checks which had been drawn for this purpose. How ever, the First National bank had over drawn it's account in the banks upon which these checks were drawn
 Receiver V. S. Lusk, who took charge of the bank, testified that he realized less than $3000 on the assets or the institution. The total assets of the bank, as reported by notes, have amounted to $331 ,730, among these be- ing four individual notes signed by Major Breeze for $25O0, on which he was unable to collect anything An aged crippled laborer testified that he signed four blank notes, and it was shown that afterwards the notes were filled out for $1200 and discounted by the bank This was in line with a number of similar cases, evidence of which has been offered from time to time.
 Today marked the beginning of the second week of the trial. and the gov ernment does not yet give any sign of closing its testimony. This is the fourth time Major Breeze has been on trial, being convicted once and twice mistrials resulting.

Russian and Japanese Songs.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe.
 Music has always played a great pars in fighting. and Lord Wolseley declares that troops that sing as they march will not only reach their destination more quickly and in better fighting condition than those who march in silence, but in- spired by the music and words of nation al songs will feel that self-confidence which is the mother of victory
 In the Japanese army 1t is the custom for the soldiers to sing as they go into battle and rush to the charge. The prac- tice was remarked during the operations of the allied powers against Pekin. Their favorite song is the "Kimi Gayo," or national anthem, which has been En- glished as follows:
 May our Lords dominion last
 Till thousand years have passed
 Twice four thousand time oertold!
 Firm as changeless rocks, earth-roote4.
 Moss of ages uncomputed."
 In the Russian army, tests were made . few years ago to ascertain the value of marching songs, and the results so con- firmed Lord Wolseleys dictum that the regulations now decree that regiments on march and in advancing Ito charge shall sing national ecuU.
