UNION MINERS DEPORTED.
Cost Of Strikes in Colorado isfEsti-
mated at 500, O36, 900.

Colorado Springs, Col.-Actingsunder
the orders of Adjutant-Gener Sher-
man Bell, of the State National Guard,
a special train was made up in the
Short Line yards at Victor for the de-
portation of seventy-f1ve union miners.
They were marched to the train be-
tween heavy lines of military, and dep
uties. Fully 1000 persons had collected
to e the men placed on board. Among
the spectators were wives and sisters,
fathers and mothers of the deported
men, and the scenes were affecting.
Mothers, sisters and sweethearts cried
goodbye and tried to push through the
lines for a parting handshake.
No attempt was made to, unload the
men here, arrangements having pre-
viously been made to send them to the
Kansas State line over the Santa Fe
Railroad because of protests made
against taking them to PuebloiO or Den
yer and leaving them there.
The train stopped long enough at this
place to give the soldiers time to eat.
The deported men had rations iof beans
and bread on board.
Sixty men confined in the Cripple
Creek bull-pen were taken to theFcoun-
ty Jail, and charges of murder: were
placed against them.
The cost of the various strikes in
Colorado during the last sixteen months
is estimated at $23. 036, 900. Of this
amount the State had to pay $636,OO0
for maintaining troops in the field.

Mikado's Troops Check a Southwark
Movement to Relieve Port Arthur.

Newchwang.-The Russians attacked
a Japanese force southeast of the
Siungyo Mountains, 5000 of them pur-
suing the apparently fleeing Japanese
to Yaotung Pass. There it became evil
dent that the Japanese retreat was a
feint.
The mel who had been r%etreating re-
formed, and, assisted by hidden re-
endorsements, attacked their pursuers,
killing or wounding $50 of them. The
Russians retreated in disorder along
the Tashicao road.
Some of these refugees reached New
chwang with 2S5 transport carts. They
seemed to be terribly detected and
fatigued, as if they had made a long
forced march. Numbers of the men
had cuts on their faces, indicating
sabre wounds. Several of their horses
were wounded.
A strong detachment was sent in the
evening to the retreat of the re-
mainder. These reached Tashichao,
where General Konrdatovitch inspect
ed them. They entrained for Laioyang.
1t is stated that the Japanese
marched to Suighai from Pulandien
with the object of clearing the district,
preparatory to advancing to the neigh
borhood of Newchwa Sg.
London.-It is pointed out here that
the Russians were caught at SiungyO
the same as they were at the Yalu,
though on a smaller scale. The Incl
dent is regarded as being bound seri-
Ously to shake the Russian forces at
W~afangkau. probably leading to their
final withdrawal, and the disaster,
taken with other indications of Jap
anese activity in the neighborhood, is
regarded as likely to clear the way for
a Japanese landing at Newchwang,
which is supposed to be imminent.
1t is stated that Toxic is now in
direct communication with every col
umn in the field, and that each column
is also linked by means of the field tele-
graph, so that every Russian move
ment can be reported by one General
to the others.
Nothing is allowed to be known re-
garding the situation at Port Arthur.
A story from a Chinese source is
printed reiterating upon the authority
Of a Chinaman arrested at New
chwang, who was supposed to have
been acting as a Japanese spy at Port
Arthur. such assertions concerning the
strength and activities of the garrison
as have been frequently made lately.
1t says the coal supply is now reduced
to 800 tons.
Admiral Togo's blockade is effective,
although the channel has been partly
cleared. Admiral Togo has been sue
cessful in checking the junk traffic.
The defenders of Port Arthur are de-
pressed, and are earnestly hoping that
General Kouropatkin will send relief
to them.

Thousands of Testimonials.
CITY Residents Nearsighted.

"The race is growing n~earsighted,
owing to city life and the conditions
of our civilization" says Frederick P.
Simmons, examining eye specialist,
while addressing the members of the
New England Association of Opt
clans.
Our visual range is confined to near
objects for the greater part of the
day." said he, 'and this keeps the eyes
turned in. An object twenty feet
away will make the eyeballs parallel.
Anything less will turn them in,
and people who spend their hours in
offices and crowded fats necessarily
have a short range Of vision, which
overworks and weakens the interior
muscles close to the nasal cavity.
"The exterior muscles not being so
strained, are strong, and hence u
the eyes to turn out. Let a person
who is thus affected spend a week or
two in the country and his eyes be-
come normal again, because he gets
greater range of vision. Savages are

in Japan.

In order to help pay the expenses of
a war which it saw was inevitable,
Japan recently established a reggie, or
government monopoly of the tobacco
trade. Tobacco was introduced into
Japan in the seventeenth century,
and at the present time there are large
quantities of the weed grown and
smoked there. AS yet cigars have not
reached the pinnacle of esteem they
hold with more civilized nations, but
Japan is making great efforts to at
tain the standard of the West, and
there are hopes for her. Just now
the favorite smoke is a very small
pipe, which is thrown away before it
reaches the stage when it is able to
walk alone. In that much the Jap
is in advance of some of his more
polished white brethren.-Perfecto.

Negress Discharged After Aged Ac-
cuser Fails to Substantiate Charges.
New York City.-As a surprising eli
max to a series of incidents full of sur
prises that had taken place since the
name of Hannah Elias first was men,
toned in connection with the murder
of Andrew H. Green, came the dis
charge of the negress IN the charge of
having extorted almost 100000 from
John r. Plat. She left the courtroom
of Magistrate Ommen, sitting in Spe-
cial Sessions, a free woman, the prose-
cution having been dropped on request
of Acting District Attorney Rand. AT
ter examining the old complainant and
Lyman e. Warren, his lawyer, Mr..
Rand said the prosecution had no evil
dence on which to sustain theycharge
of extortion.
The spectacle presented onsthe wit
ness stand by the venerable John r.
Platt, wealthy merchant, former Union
soldier and One-time president of the
Volunteer Firemen of this city, was
one of the most pitiable ever witnessed
in a courtroom. Infirm, his mind al
most a blank, his figure bent, his head
dropping listlessly, he was forced to
tell of his relations with the Elias
woman.
AS step by step, his life was unfolded
by the questions of the prosecuting at
torney, a flash of intelligence would
light up his face nov and then, and his
answer would be coherent. But most
of the time his mind was a blank. and
all the %prodding of his questioner could
not rekindle the dying embers Eof his
failing memory.
After her release the Elias woman
was served with the order of arrest in
the civil suit brought by Mr.. Plat to
recover the money she has got out Of
him. She Immediately gave $4,000
bail and was released. She went to
her handsome house in Central Park
West, a mob chasing her carriage for
blocks.
