A BRITISH LABOR WAR
BOILERN1KERS' LOCKOUT.
OUer Forty Thousand Men affected
I'm pending RaIzray Strike.

London, Sept 1S-Between forty thousand
| and fifty thousand members of the Bollermak-
ers' Society will be locked out on October D.
Notices TO that effect being posted to-day
by the Shipbuilders' Federation. The men
affected are employed chiefly at the east coast
ports. at Barrow and on the Clyde.
Some time ago lockout notices were issued
because of & number of sectional strikes In
Which the men left work without giving notice
and without discussion of their grievances.
Ihese notices, however. were withdrawn and
what is known the Edinburgh agreement
was entered into. Under this the representa-
uves of the men stipulated that such annoy
Ing strikes would be avoided in the future. The
uVes. and the federation is now determined TO
fight the men to finish.
The chief grievance of the employers is that
the executive committee OF the Boilermak kers'
Society has no real power and cannot force the
men 10 observe any agreement which may be
adopted
With the prospective strike Of the members
Of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser
wants which. unless prevented will be one of
the most serious ever known in the United
Kingdom, the labor situation in this country is
becoming most critical. The leaders of the rail-
way men, however. are making every effort to
concillate the companies. and il is hoped that
arbitration or some other plan will be found to
solve the grave problem
The railway employees base their grievance on
the fact that the companies refuse TO recog-
nize their executive

OLD INDIAN FIGHTER.
Bill Chance, Whose Life Has Been Crowded With Many Adventures.

From the Portland Oregonian
 One of the most picturesque charac- ters in the northwest is Bill Chance, who is spending the evening of his days in Seaside, content to let the strenuous life he has lived be only pleasant mem ory.
 Bill Chance is a man of striking ap- pearance, six feet two inches tall, and although Il years old, straight as an arrow He is probably more familiar with the Indians and the Indian wars of the coast than any man living, having been an active participant in almost every war with them since he crossed the plains in 1852 He speaks several Indian dialects, and is as familiar with the Chinook jar gon as he Is with English.
 During the Rogue River Indian war he served as volunteer and partici- pated in the battle of Hungry Hill, one of the most sanguinary fights of all that cruel campaign. His description of the atrocities he witnessed is so vivid that listening to them almost makes the auditor feel he was present. T have seen,' said he children wearing swaddng clothes whom the murderous brutes had taken by the legs and beaten their brains out against a rock And yet many people

Jumping Fish Traps.

From the Travel Magazine
 The first six miles of the north shore of Montauk, east of Fort Pond Bay, are lined with fish traps. These traps are from a quarter to one-half mile from the shore to which they are connected Dy a net supported on poles set about twenty feet apart. The rope holding the upper part of the net is about three rect below the surface, but varies with the state of the tide The power boats running out to the fishing grounds, instead of going out around the traps, are apt 10 cut across lots by running through between the ret poles and jumping the top net rope as it lies about foot or two un- der water These poles are also fast ened together by another rope hanging loosely from their tops and reaching down to about three feet from the water. This rope your boat strikes with her bow and either breaks or jerks up when she strikes it, and the recoil makes it drop down again just about the height of mans head IS he sits in the stern. Should 1t catch a man he would probably get twist ed neck or be jerked out of the boat.
 we rushed on the first line of stakes they appeared white, the openings between them looking black, and the captain ordered us to duck down. , The Bonita hit the loose rope, jerked it up, and as we rushed through I felt the swish of the rope close to my head, taking my hat off. After that we were careful to duck sharp at the word. At each line of stakes the same thing happened.

in the east, actuated by q feeling of sent- ment and ignorance, have lifted up their hands in horror at the thought of white men thrsting for the blood of those fends. As a matter of fact the men who know the cruelty and bloodthirstiness of tho red man have no more hesitancy in kill ing an Indian than they would rattler. Of the two the ratters are the less dangerous and more honorable; they all ways warn before they strike; an h. dian, never"
 Another thing you must observe. An Indian Is always an Indian. No difference how much of the Veneering of civilization he may have acquired; no difference If taken when a papoose, raised to man hood by white family, without ever see ing one of his kind, latent lie the Indian traits, ready to burst forth in deeds of cruelty and hate without a moments warning. l may make an exception to this in favor of a squaw, but never with the bucks.
 T belonged" said Bill. ito the Ben Wright expedition and was one of tho thirty white men engaged in the so-caled Ben Wright massacre. Wright was severely eensured for this by the United States officials and stigmatized as mur- derer howl was raised throughout the eastern press many insisting that he be court martialed and shot.
 The whole secret of the killing of those thirty Indians lay in the Indians treach- cry We had these Moloquas (since known as Modocs) penned on a peninsula that ran into a lake, near Lost River. about two miles this side of the California line. Escape was impossible, so they sent messenger under a flag of truce asking for a peace conference. to be held at F o'clock the following day. which Wright immediately granted. The significance of the hour did not occur to him. At the noon hour the men would be engaged in eating dinner or attending to their horses thus being entirely off their guard.
 During the night a squaw came into camp and informed Wright that the In dians would all attend the council. that they would wear their blankets, under which their firearms would be concealed, and at a given signal from the chief all the whites were to be murdered in cold blood. This, you observe, after promising to come unarmed.
 "The next day everything in camp went on as usual. The most wary Indian eye could detect nothing fin the white mar'a camp to indicate any knowledge of the premeditated treachery.
 At the appointed hour. while the whites were apparently engaged about their camp duties, the Indians marched soemnly into camp, and fell into such positions as enabled them to observe every man in camp, with the chief facing Captain Wright.
 When the crucial moment arrived Wright raised his hands to his hat when instantly thirty rAes in the hands of as deadly marksmen as eyer pulled trig-

Not one of them escaped. and SO sudden and unex- pected was the attack and so fatal In its results, that not one of them had time to remove their blanket or raise his gun, and they all had their guns concealed under their blankets
 This" continued Mir Chance, "is the true story of the so-called Ben Wright massacre. It was simply a question of killing or being killed, and Wright took the only sensible course, and killed. Who, l ask, under the circumstances would have done otherwise? And echo ques- tons, Who?
 'Tne most daring act of bravery l ever saw" continued Mir Chance, "oeeurred at the battle of Hungry Hill. A man by the name of Miller had his leg broken by a bullet. and when the troops retreated under the galing fire of the Indians Miller was left lying on the field. David , lnman went back to Miller, picked him up, and, amid raging storm of bullets. carired him to place of safety. Mar velous as it may appear. neither of them was touched by bullet"
 Bill Chance is serenely passing over the last part of the road leading to the great unknown" He has helped to make the history of the west, and although nearing the last milestone, his wit Is rapierlike in it's keenness and his soul is as full of music as mocking birds at mating time. He will leave this world better for having lived in it.
