large crowd of foreign miners. The
troopers beat them back with black
jacks. Michael Glugen had his skull
fractured and number of others re-

trooper was badly injured by a blow

A second collision between the con-
stabulary and the mob occurred here

a stone at the soldiers, who were
drawn up in front of the residence OF

More stones followed and then Lieu

man named Wilson, who was in the
crowd, fell with three bullets in his

After Lieutenant Smith and his
troopers had left for Pottsville they
were ordered back to Stuartsville, 2
suburb of this place, where they are
now entrenched. Headquarters at
Pottsville has notified Lieutenant
Smith that reinforcements are on the
way. Everything is now quiet. SO
far as is known thirteen persons were
shot during the fight, three probably
fatally.

NATIONAL LEGISLATURE
Synopsis of the Proceedings in the
Senate and House of
Representatives.

Washington, April %. Spooner
completed his speech in the senate on
the rate bill, speaking for two hours,
and further pressing his point that
though congress could take jurisdiction
from a court it could not take it's pow
er, while permitting it to retain juris-
diction-nor part of its power. All the
private bills on the calendar were
passed, and an executive session was
held.
The house passed a bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for the employment on gov
eminent works of labor at San Fran
cisco: also 515 pension bills. Williams
of Mississippi began a speech ON the
tariff.
Washington, April 3O.-The senate
passed the Indian appropriation bill
and a few other bills of no particular
moment. Most of the session was
spent in discussing motion to remove
all restrictions on the sale of all In
dian lands except the homesteads Of
the Choctaw. Cherokee, Chickasaw
and Seminole tribes. The motion was
ruled out of order.
The house "cOnsidere i" the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, but really
listened most of the session to the con-
clusion of Williams speech against
protection Cushman Of Washington
began a reply to Williams General
debate on the pending bill was conclCd-
ed. Yesterday the house held a SEES
sion in memory of the late Represent
ative Pinckney, Of Texas. and eulogies
were delivered.
Washington. May /. - The senate
will begin voting on the amendments
to the railroad rate bill on May 4. An
agreement to that effect has been
reached, but it proved impossible TO so
extend the understanding as to have
it include the fixing Of a date for tax
ing a final vote on the bill as a whole.
Most of the session was taken UP by a
speech on the bill by Clark of Ar
kansas, who criticised the bill while
approving it's object. The house bill

of labor at and near San Francisco on

ecutive session was held.
The house adopted unanimously IL
resolution Of thanks to General Horace
Porter for his services in discovering
the remains of John Paul Jones. The
balance of the session was devoted
to the agricultural bill, most of the
debate being on free seeds, many rep
resentatives defending that policy.
Eighteen pages of the bill were COM
pleted, but free seeds did not get in.
Hearst offered a resolution to appro-
Francisco relief, the money to be spent
in California.

Nav Day in Paris.

Paris, May May l, the day for
which the government made prodigious
preparations, found many quarters of
the city presenting the appearance of
an armed camp. The forces cOncen-
trated under Project of Police Lepine
were estimated at $4,000 troops, $4,000
police and 5000 republican guards,
gendarmes and detectives.
The striking printers attempted to
march in procession from the Boursg
du Travail Qabor headquarters sing
ing q revolutionary song. They at
tackled the police who interviewed, and
the latter were compelled to draw
their revolvers. The procession was
then broken up.

The Ruling Passion Strong I'm Death.

The ruling passion Of Edward |. Of
England was undoubtedly the pursuit
of his ideal of uniting all the British
islands under one rule. His great OBJ
stacle was Scotland, and the conquest
of Scotland, therefore, became pas
sion with him. Stronger than years, it
sent him to the head of the army when
he was fit only for sick bed, and
when he was at last compelled to
yield he sought to make this passion
spur On his son by ordering that the
flesh should be boiled from his bones
and that his skeleton should be car
ried at the head Of the army and re-
main unburied till Scotland was con-
Quered.
This is the most conspicuous instance
of ''the ruling passion strong in death"
on record, though many others would
be worthy of quotation. William Pitts
patriotism endured to his last gasp and
inspired his last utterance, as did Mel
sons lifelong determination to secure
the command of the sea, while Napo-
Icons last dream was one of battle.

HaddOck Marks.

Why do haddocks carry those pc
culiar black finger marks" near the
head? Some tell us that they are a
memento of the pressure of ST. Peters
fingers when he went fishing for the
tribute money. On the Yorkshire coast
Of England they say the devil once de-
termined to build bridge at Filey.
His Satanic majesty did not start the
bridge for the convenience Of the peo-
pie but for the destruction of ships
and sailors and the annoyance of fisher
men in general. In the progress Of his
work Old Nick dropped his hammer in
to the sea. Snatching at it hastily, he
caught a paddock, and all haddocks
carry the imprint of his black fingers
to this day.

HIS RAIMENT GORGEOUS
He Calls on His Accusers to Arise and
Accuse Him to His Face.

He was attired in an apostolic robe
of white and gold and purple which he
had never worn before in public. Upon
his head was a turban of marvellous
pattern embroidered in purple and
gold He delivered his address and SER
mon seated before the altar. Only oc-
casiOnally, when reused to an unusual
pitch of earnestness, did he rise to his
feet. Mrs. DOwie, who has severed her
allegiance with the VOliva faction, sat
in wicker chair among Dowie's fol
lowers in the congregation. Dowie an
nOunced the hymns and led in prayer
in a voice the firmness and strength of
which surprised those who have been
in attendance upon him.
He prefaced his sermon by a spirit
ed denial of the charges that have
been brought against him, in the
course of which he exhibited much OF
the fiery impatience which marked his
discourses in times past. ''They say
I've taken the peoples money, do
they?" he shouted. Answers of 'YeSr'
and ''Nor came from different parts
Of the audience. A man in the rear
more persistent than others was sin
gled out by Dowie. Pointing a trem-
bling finger at the man Dowie cOntin-
ued:
''Let that man stand up and give his
name. Let him tell what money |
took and when" With all eyes To-
cussed upon him the man shrunk in
his seat. A guard was ordered to COM
pei him to stand, but he stood in
shamefaced silence. Then Dowie rose
to his feet and demanded that any of
those present who had anything to
charge against him do so then and
there. With tears in his eyes he de-
scribed the sorrow he felt upon re-
| ceiving the news while in Mexico of
| the revolt among his people. He de
| clared that he could not sleep until he
| had learned the worst, and that his
| cup of grief was full when he found
| that his wife and son had deserted
| him.
Dowie made his first appearance in
| the Tabernacle at $50 a. m. when he
| conducted a prayer and praise service.
| About 100 were in attendance. Voliya
| had called similar meeting at that
| hour also, which was largely attended.
| Dowie has taken up his abode in Sh-
| lob House, where he intends to remain
| in retirement at least until after the
/ decision of the court in the matter OF
his injunction against Voliva and 9th
| ers next Thursday.

Peasant and Pigs.

A clever smuggling trick has been
played on a customs officer on the
Russo-German frontier. An innocent
looking peasant reported to the officer
a plot for getting a large number Of
pigs across the frontier. The method,
he said, would be to drive across at in
tervals of half an hour, 3, 6, II and zoo
pigs, the smugglers arguing that if the
first three lots could be sent over there
would be no trouble with the 200.
The officer was naturally on the alert.
In accordance with the peasants state
ment three pigs were driven over, then
six, followed by twelve. All were al
lowed to pass, and preparations were
made to receive the 200. But no more
pigs appeared, and the twenty-one ami
mails admitted had in the meantime
been lodged in safety

here must look elsewhere for funds to

will be too heavy.
