CERBERE, France, Spanish Frontier,
Aug. Late news received here from
Barcelona is TO the effect that fighting
between the troops and the revolutionists
continues fiercely. 1t is reported that forty
revolutionists have been shot without
trial at the Montjuich fortress. among them
being Emiliano Iglesias. editor of the
Progreso, the organ of Deputy Leroux,
chief of the republicans in Barcelona.
The situation in Palamos, the center of
the cork industry, is reported to be alarm
ing, and fears are expressed for the safety
Of foreigners there.
Says Situation is Better.
PARIS, Aug. 1.-The Marquis del NUM-
Spanish ambassador in France in an inter-
view today, declared that he had most
reassuring news from Catalonia and Melilla.
He insisted that only 200 men had been
killed and 500 wounded in the fighting in
Morocco and that the rebellion in Catalonia
had been completely mastered. The am
bassador denied categorically the existence
OF the alleged text of a secret Hispano-
Franco treaty Of 1904, which was published
in Germany and under the conditions Of
which France agreed to lend Spain its
assistance in Africa.
Marquis del Minisa said that neither the
Carlists nor the separatists were involved
in the movement in Catalonia, as it was
impossible to conceive that they would
league themselves with anarchists to burn
converts, assassinate monks and sack
churches

COMBINED
SHOWS COMING
The Famous Hagenbeck Animal
Shows and the Great Wallace
Circus Will Re Here Monday
May 10.

All the contracts necessary for
the inuumerable details OF the ex-
hibition of a large circus institu-
tion haye been made for the early
appearance in this city of the Carl
Hagenbeck and Great Wallace
Shows. This is one of the worlds
largest amusement enterprises, and
because of its peculiar combination
it is probably the most interesting.
1t is advertised by the manage
ment that it is without a peer in
point of performance, and it would
seem as if this boast is justified in
a combination which includes two
such shows. The Wallace show
has for years been conceded a
place i'll the front ranks of circuses
and in many points it has been
given first place. 1t could not be
eXcelled in its horses, the quality
and completeness of its equipment
or the attention given to the numer.
Gus details which are essential for
the production of a performance of
unusual merit Although Mr..
Wallace has always refrained from
! featuring some five second act as a
thriller, used purely for advertis
ing purposes, his patrons have al
ways found many surprises il
store, and now he has come for
ward with the boss thriller of then
all-trained wild beasts.

especially to ring rule but by
staying at home the election was
carried by the ring More than
this it will be observed that both
the democratic and republican
organizations got together and
made a combination slate and this
state was elected in a perfectly
harmonious way. MessrS Humph-
reyS. Blackburn, Mathews and
Smith were completely sidetracke ed
and quarantiued and the, quaran-
tine was maintained until the
slate was carried through by a
safe and sane majority. The
dear people had nothing to do
with any of this, for the ward
heelers could very easily manage
a vote where one-half the voters
stayed at home, you know you can
handle half THE people so much
better than youica handle all of
them, especially when the majority
of the so called better element stay
at home. And the "stay at homes''
are decidedly more criminal than
the hoaters, for criminal prosecu-
ton can be invoked against the
tioater who sells his vote but it
cannot be invoked against the
'tstay at homes" who above all
other men on earth should be dis
franchished.
''1 believe and know that the in
dependent voters in this city are
in the majority, and if they will
but exercise their legal right of
suffrage they can nominate and
elect to Office whomsoeyer they
please We need great reforms in
this city, but we cannot hope to
accomplish very much in this
by electing "boss made
men" to office GA boss made
public official must wear the
collar and obey the summon of his
master, and in SO doing he cannot
serve the people who elected him,
lnsually the boss nominates his
tavorites, and the people through
prejudice and party adherence

bearing the title of Hagenbeck
and it is the only one that ever
made a world tour with its wonder,
full animal actors. When the com.
bination of the Great Wallace
Shows and the Carl Hagenbeck
Animal Shows was accomplished
by Mr.. Wallace the amusement
world was not surprised, as the
combination had been predicted.
The deal was fortunate one for
amusement patrons, iuasmuch as
they are now able to see the two
shows for the prices formerly
charged for one To enable the
performances of the two exhibitions
to be given simultaneously and
without cutting out a single act of
either, has been herculean task,
bat it has been accomplished, and
the result will be seen when the
Hagenbeck, Wallace Combined
Shows appear in Charleston on
Monday, May 10th.

Superintendents were to blame
Touching upon this case the re,
port indicates that at the time OF
the explosion miners were work
from 80 to $50 feet ahead of the
air, and that an inspection of the
mine revealed the fact that shoot
ing off the solid was generally
practiced through plea of ignor.
ance.
GLOW far or to what extent the
disregard of the law" says the re-
port, Contributed to the ex-
plosion and the loss of life, the
committee cannot now say. The
grossest neglect in the operation
was to permit men to 90 into that
part of the mine not effected by
the first explosion, There can be
no excuse on the part of either the
operation or the Department of
Mines for allowing the miners to
enter this section of the mine until
it had been carefully examined
and found to be safe and free from
latent dangers"
In that portion of the report
dealing with the action of the
courts, we find another strong in
dictment of the existing conditions
to be found among the judiciary of
some portions of our country. In
summing up this part of their
report the committee says.
"Many prosecutions have been
made by the Department against
the miners, and quite Il few have
been made against the operator for
allowing the miners to remain in
all unsafe and unwholesome con-
ditions. In every instance where
the prosecution has been against
the miner there seems to have been
no difficulty in securing con-
viction, but in all instances where
the Department has undertaken to
close down a mine or regulate some
unsafe condition of mine or prac-
tice of the operator, these prose
cutions have failed. 1t seems to
the committee that the courts in
some way are under some kind Of
a spell or domination Of the oper-
atOrS.'
For years majority of the mine
owners in West Virginia have
eliminated the American from
their mines and employed to a
large extent non-English speaking
| immigrants. They have used the
most high handed methods in
driving organizers of the Miners
Union from the state, and in pre-
venting the growth ot tradeunion-
ism. They have, to a large ex-
tent, determined the policy of the
state Legislature, and their in
tiuence has placed many of the
present judges upon the bench.
There is not state in the Union
where the life of the employe Is
held as cheaply by the employer,
and where Solittle relief or justice
can be secured, either through the
courts or in the legislature, yet
in spite of all this, when hundreds
of lives have been stamped out

West Virginia Made Notorious Throughout

of the @Guara" System.

No stronger indictment has been
made against judicial procedure in
cases affecting labor and the in
competency or suberviency of some
of our courts, than is contained in
the recently submitted report OF
the special joint legislative com
mittee, which was appointed two
years ago to investigate the causes
of the many mine disasters which
have occurred in West Virginia.
When consideration is given to
the conditions which they dis
covered, it should be borne in mind
that the courts of no State have
been more active or more arbitrary

lending whatever assistance they
could to help employers i'll pre-
venting the growth of tradeunion-
ism, and i'll uprOoting it where
ever it could be found. This is a
State made notorious through many
injunctions granted be the state
and federal, courts, including
those of Judge jackson, which
restrained the Mine Workers
Union from paying strike benefits,
and from giving food and other
necessities to their members on
strike, and by Judge Dayton re-
straining the Miners Union from
endcavorimg to organize the un-
fortunates who labor in the mines,
so that they might improve their
standard of living, and through
bheir united action procure legis-
lation which would safeguard their
life and limb while under ground
because the operators claimed
that if the miners organized it
would iniure their business, and
cause them financial loss.
The committee in its report says
that the State Department of
Mines has been incompetent to
provide the miners with adequate
protection, for the majority of
miners were inspected at intervals
three aud four months apart. 1t
also expresses the opinion that
while the number OF inspectors is
Inadequate to cover the field. many
"t those who are employed in this
capacity are inefficient and in
capable of exercising that judge

belong to any one engaged in
such important work
