in Various Minerals.
Not long ago the known globe, but
especially that part Of it known as Ire.
land, was thrilled that on Irish soil a
gold mine had been discovered. Moth.
ing afterward was heard of it for a
long time and many may have classed
the news along with those discoveries
of perpetual motion and instantaneous
spontation that are constantly being
made.
But now come detailed descriptions
Of the mine, with the assurances that
it. is an actuality. 1t lies in County
Donegal and is owned by company
under the control of one Robert John.
ston, Belfast timber merchant. The
rock is said to be rich in all sorts Of
minerals, but richest of all in gold.
holding as much Of this metal as two
ounces to tlia ton. This would make it
one Of the richest mines in the world.
Machinery for working the ore has
been purchased and may by now have
even been installed. Work is expected
to be in full swing in few weeks
time. And so Ireland has struck It
rich.

WOMEN'S DEEDS OF BRAVERY.
Examples Of Presence Of Mind and
COURAGE Are MANY.

To come down to more modern
times. the stories OF the bravery dis
played by woman in our own Indian
wars are enough to thrill the coolest
blood.
Sometimes a woman left alone to
look out for her children would be
attacked by tbanl OF Indians. She
would barricade tie house and try in
every way TO repu]se them. and when
all else failed would shoot first her
children and then herself.
In the Civil$ war and in the war
with Spain there were hundreds Of
women who wanted to 60 to the front
as nurses; in fact, more volunteered
than could be used. They were will.

And everyday heroism is often
greater than that of the battlefield.
where patriotism inspires bravery.
What could be more heroic taaan the
action of the nuns in sthe fire at St.
Mary's Eosnital at Jamaica. l.. l.?
One Of the sisters discovered the
fire in the hospital stable and her
prompt action saved the hospital.
She called up police headquarters
and had the night operator sound the
alarm and send assistance; then she

Chicago, April 29.--Violence 10 ram
pant upon the streets OF Chicago
surging through the streets and alleys
sprlnging from unsupported places
armed with stones. clubs and revolver
and the deadly blackjack, are hordes Of
piekets and "sympathizers," cursing
Jeering, hailing every opportunity e
TALL upon a nonun,on man and grind
him to the pavement. The heart OF the
business district witnessed terrible
struggles all OF the day. Guests AT the
Palmer house we're RECALLED with fierce
riot at their door, and at all points the
angry conflicts went forward--the first
skirmishes of the teamsters' strike.
which is destined TO be the worst labor
struggle in Chicago's history. There
are now $3.50 teams idle through the
strike.
Chicago now faces new peril--that
OF having to walk. Owing to the strike
OF all coal teamsters, the traction COM
panies are unable to secure coal to
operate power plants. At the utmost.
there Is but three days supply of coal.
and then the cars must stop. In addi-
ton, the strike leaders are bending
every effort TO spread the strike to ali
the smaller concerns. This, II success
full, will shut off the food supplies of
the residents.
Early today the Federal government
stepped into the strike and issued in
functions against the strikers interior
ing with traffic. At about the same
time many soldiers began to appear ON
the streets without arms. Orders have
been issued by commanders OF reci-
ments OF state troops to their men to
hold themselves ready for immediate
call.
The great aim OF the strike leaders
now Ia to embroil the railroad unions.
in which event other cities will begin
to feel the strike. "Wait until next
Tuesday is the ominous warning of
the labor leaders. $50 far there has
been child's play. Next Tuesday there
will be business" No one appears TO
know what this means, although there
is fear that some tremendous sensation
will be sprung.

CHINA WANTS
BETTER TERMS
Objects to Restrictions on Subjects
Now Admitted.
Breaks Off Negotiations Now Pending
Regarding New Treaty-Attack on
Exclusion Law May Admit Flood
of Chinese immigrants of Unde-
sirabie Class.

Washington, April 27. - Negotia
tions between the United States anc
China for treaty restricting the i'm
migration OF Chinese to this country
have practically been abandoned. II
has been found impossible by the rep
resentatiyes of the two governments to
reach common ground of agreement.
The whole subject, therefore, ia being
held in allegiance until w. W. Rock
hill, the recently appointed minister OF
the United States to China, shall ar
rive in Pekin. 1t is expected that he
will take up the matter directly with
the Chinese government.
When WI Ting Fang was minister OF
China to this capital, he made an ex-
haustive study of the Chinese immigra-
ton question, ascertaining very pre-
cisely, among other things, the Ameri-
can point of view. He maintained con-
sistently the injustice of the restric-
tions thrown by this government
around the immigration of Chinese, but
was unable to accomplish anything in
the way of lowering the barriers dur
ing his sojourn here. In China he is
now in a position to make it difficult,
If not absolutely impossible, to nego-
tate treaty unless the convention
shall have incorporated in it certain
provisions for which the Chinese gov
eminent contends.
China is anxious to obtain in the
treaty liberal definitions Of
the terms merchants" Travellers, :"
and Students" in order to relieve
such classes OF embarrassment on their
arrival in the United States.

TWELVE MINERS BURIED.



| Oklahoma Coal Company.
WiIburton, Okla, May g. Thirteen
miners were entombed and probably
killed by an explosion early today In
the Missouri, Kansas 4 Texas Coal
company's mine No. o four miles west
LOT here There is little prospect OF
their bodies being recovered for several
days.
The men went into the sbaft at mid
night. Foreman William Ray, Of the
shift that left the mine at that hour,
states that the mine was in good condi-
ton and gas explosion was hardly
probable. His shift left a shot hang
ing which the new shift may have fred.
IL is suggested, from the force of the
explosion, which could be heard for
miles around, and which tore heavy
timbers aside and piled tons OF dirt
into the shaft, that bad shot bad set
Oft some dynamite which had been
stored conveniently for use in pushing
the work. The shaft is 800 feet deep.
and II was 300 feet to the place where
the men were working.
The men were supplied with air from
the shaft, and by means OF compressed
air tubes. IL In the general opinion
that the air pipe was burst by the ex-
plosion, but air has been steadily
pumped in all day, with the remote
hope that some OF the entombed men
may have escaped the force OF the ex-
plosion and the after-damp.

Oku, from Tie Pass westward of the

ONLY ASK EQUAL RATES.
Townsend Replies TO Spencer Rela-
tive to Railroad Rebates.

Detroit, Mich, April 29.-Congress.
man Charles T.. Townsend, of jackson,
Mich, author Of the Townsend Esch
railroad bill, spoke last night before a
meeting of the Michigan Manufacture
ers' association. Mr.. Townsend took
up the speech delivered by President
Spencer, Of the Southern railroad, at
Pittsburg April z.
We do not ask wholesale reduction
OF rates, said Mr.. Townsend. "We
want the commission to have power to
decide what is just rate when the
rates have been challenged. Secret re-
bates mean the loss OF millions by the
railroads, but the railroads are most
arrant towards. Traffic men do not
know the cost of the transportation Of
given article a given distance. and
admit they cannot find out. How.
then, do they fix the rates-by putting
on all the traffic will stand.
I'VE are asking nothing more than.
as President Roosevelt exposed II in
his message, to Keep the highways
open to all on equal terms
President Spencer says he agrees
with the presidents sentiment. and
yet he attacks the bill which seeks to
bring this about. The same arguments
are now used against the original in
terstate commerce bill, and yet Mr..
Spencer says the original law Is good
one and adequate to deal with all
abnses which may arise"
