Situation Is Dark.

Carry Men to Work-Fusl
Shipments DwindIs.

Berlin-The local miners strike in
the great German coal fields Of West
phalia continues to spread. There are
more than 240. 200 men now on strike
and the situation is becoming worse
everywhere. Conditions have taken
q most serious turn In several districts
and already have resulted in a fatal
conflict between the police and the
strikers in the district Of Herne.
Feeling among the men il increas-
ing In intensity. owing to the rigid re-
pressive measures Of the authorities
and it is said officially that the pro-
vincial authorities have been instruct
ed to call out the troops if the police
prove inadequate to deal with the SIT
uation. Mineowners and leaders of
the so-called Christian trades unions,
whose members are rapidly breaking
awayIand joining in the strike, which
was brought about by the Socialist
trades unions, are clamoring for mill
tary assistance.
The police president at Mochum,
the center of the strike regions, has
forbidden the sale of spirits.
Disturbances have been reported
from various sections. The most SER
ious of these occurred at Herne, q
mining village five miles from Boch-
UNI, where number of strikers threw
stones and fired revolvers at a detach-
ment of armed police. One of the
striker was killed.
At Hambern, in the district Of Dus-
seldorf, where fighting occurred be-
tween the strikers and the police and
a number of persons were injured,
large reinforcements of police have
arrived. The strikers repeatedly
bombarded with bottles and stones the
police escorting the non. strikers.
The mineowners have provided
covered wagons in which the nom
strikers are escorted with police pro-
lection to and from the pits. Many
arrests have been made.

the other under DR.. Wilde, a veteran

The Aurora found no trace Of the
Clarie coast, from which it was con.
cluded that it was an ice barrier that
had broken up since Durville's discov.
cry in 1888. The Aurora left the
Anthracite in February and intended t.
return in the spring.
Some of the best known British ex'
plorers are with the parties landed By
the Aurora, which muster rs men ir

equipment is a monoplane in charge Of
Lieutenant Watkins, who has taker

OF fraudulent pedigrees for horses;
those issued by associations or COM

themselves but belonging to a horse
which has died, for which grade
has been substituted; and pedigrees
IN which the age or description has
been changed to make them fit an
other horse Sometimes, when an
imported horse is sold, his foreign

Most of the bogus certificates now
current in Oregon are of the class
issued by unrecOgnized associations.

GALE LAsHEs COAST.
Storm Bursts Pier and Wrecks Boat,
at Long Beach, Cal.

at Long Beach, Cal.
Los Angeles-The loss Of a number
of fishing vessels and two fishermen,
the disabling Of a steamer and the
wrecking Of the 100000 municipal
pier at Long Beach sums up in part
the damage caused by a terrific gale
which wrecked the coast Of Southern
California. Much damage to trees
and buildings was caused by the CO.
mile wind at Avalon, Catalina island,
San Diego and other places on the
coast.
The weather has moderated some
what, but heavy sea is rolling. The
weather was so rough in the channel
at Avalon that the steamer Cabrillo
could not make landing there. Three
inches of rain fell within FIVE hours at
Catalina.
The fishing boats were wrecked off
San Diego when the storm was at its
height. The hulks of the vessels
could be seen in the surf off Lajolla.
George F. Werner, Of San Diego, and
an unidentified companion, were the
first victims of the storm. The surf
cast up their bodies. It is believed
that other lives were lost.
A dozen or more fishing vessels left
San Diego before the storm and the
two wrecks sighted probably were of
the fleet. None of the fishing vessels
has been spoken since.
