rnent believed by the commissioners to be neces-

President Roosevelt is known to support the
commission in its belief that the work can be
done more satisfactorily by contractors than by
the government. He had a long conference

and the various arguments in favor Of the con-

labor were made under such conditions That
they can be transferred to contractors. and the
terms can be fulfilled in such a manner that
the government give the coolies just as
much protection as It could If the government

LUMBER LEADER SHOT.
FIERCE FIGHT IN QUEBEC.
Tsco Men Killed, TzceIUe Hurt
Otta1ca Sends TrOOps.

Buckingham, Que, Oct S.-Two men were
killed and dozen were wounded in a conflict
between striking mill hands and provincial po-
lice at MacLarens sawms here this afternoon.
The drastic measures taken by the authorities to
check the riotous strikers have had telling ef-
feet. and no further trouble is expected Five of
the wounded in a serious condition. The
dead are:
President BELANGER. of the mill workers union and
married
XAVIER THERIEU. mill hand; leaves widow and five
children.
The strike at the mills began September Is.
The workmen's strike fund and their small saw
ings had vanished and they had begun to feel
the pinch of hunger and cold. The announce
ment made to-day that the mill owners would
import labor and start the mills put the men in
a desperate frame of mind. A meeting was
called. at which incendiary speeches were made.
About the middle of the afternoon the men de-
cided to clear out the strike breakers. A mob
of two hundred men, armed with revolvers and
other weapons. rushed up the hill leading TO the
mill. The mill owners, who had expected vio-
lence had posted forty detectives and special
policemen on the outskirts of their property
There was no parleying. The first rush Of the
strikers met by a volley from the revolvers
in the hands of the police Belanger, who
leading the mob fell at the first voley, with two
bullets in his head.
The strikers sought shelter and opened fire on
the police many of whom We're hit. A desultory
.usade kept up for fifteen minutes. the
strikers standing their ground and the police
remaining behind their hastily constructed bar
ricades It apparently by mutual consent
that hOstiities suspended while both sides
removed their wounded. AS there appeared to
be a likelihood of a renewal of the trouble. an
appeal was sent to ottawa for troops They
arrived here tonight and went into camp near
the lumber yards. Alexander and Albert Mac
I4aren, members of the firm, fought beside the
police in the battle with the strikers.
The strikers say that they will elect another
leader and continue the strike. Their former
wages of 81 % day, they say, will not keep
them and their families alive. The MacLaren
Company which is of the largest lumber
concerns in Canada. is determined not to yield
the strikers.

Rina rail Wildcat cauoh..

A ring tail cat. an animal decidedly
rare in northern Michigan. has beer
caught by Herman Thiele, a Negau
nee man. in trap set at Goose lake
five miles distant. 1t was the first
specimen ever captured by either Mr.
Thiele or his father, and together they
have been engaged in trapping for the
past forty-five years.
The animal has fine. silky gray fur
Though there are some black stripes
down the back. the most striking char
acteristic is series of black rings
around tie bushy tail. In this ap
pendage II differs radically from the
ordinary wildcat. The wildcat, like
the lynx. is possessed of a bob tail
while the ring tail cat has a tail over

Little Of Settlement Left.
A few dilapidated dwellings remain,

all decayed, its floors and windows

by the bricks having fallen away. The
semi-tropical vegetation covers every.

Along with the places of worship oi
the settlers. there was of course. a
fort. The old fort at Dorcheste,. !.
which served as protection against
the Indians, is on the bank of the Ash,
ley.
The reason for building in such 4
location on a sluggish and not to-,

travel to and from Charleston, and
the easier avoidance of attacks froE,

churchmen had not SO much trouble
with the Indians as their fellows in
the north. Elder Pratt made friends
with several, who gave him some very
strange recipes for curing the sick
Some Of these are quoted here:
For great cough or cold that
leads to consumption, take yolk Of an
egg and some powder of birthstone,
and put to It and take 1t in the morn.

after that the yolk of newlaid egg

and hold 1t in the left hand and put
some to the hollow of the left foot
and lay some nip in the neck.
when nothing else would do to
stop the excessive bleeding at the
nose, the powder of dried toad mix.
ed with beeswax put to the nose hath
stopped it. The toad, for haste, was
dried in the oven, but it should be
hung up by the leg alive until it is
dead and dry"
1t is interesting to observe that
Elder Pratt owned two slaves when
he died. In 1899 he gave bond to
Capt. Rit of Charleston to pay for a
negro woman five and twenty
pounds"
The tombstone of the elder is now
