STRIKERS FIRE
MILITIA GUARDS

Charleston, W. Va, Sept 14.-Mili
tary outposts were fired on during the
early hours today at Holley, in the
heart of the territory under martial
law because of the miners strike. The
pickets replied and for a time the ex-
change was brisk. Two militia COM
panies were ordered to the place.
This is pay day in the unionized
section on the north bank of the Ka-
nawha river where the men struck last
week but returned to work on Tues
day. 1t was signalized at Hugheston
by fight which began at nine o'clock,
the shooting being general. 1t is re-
ported here that contending factions of
miners were engaged but the result
of the fighting is not yet known. Mill
tary authorities are of the opinion that
martial law will be extended north of
the Kanawha river as lawlessness in
some parts of that section is said to be
increasing.
1t was stated that Governor Glass
cock had ordered an investigation.
The proclamation is not expected be-
fore Saturday night, time being need

from the progressive state headquar
ters at Santa Fe that Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt will speak in this city
on the afternoon of September 1S and
that he will make no other speech in

Reno, New, Sept 14.-Before
large crowd in the city park here to-
day, Colonel Roosevelt made his ap-
peal in Nevada for the progressive
party. He said that the progressive
party stood for the extension of the
irrigation project in which Nevada is
especially interested ,and asserted
that it was through his efforts that
both the irrigation law and the pure
food law were passed.
When Colonel Roosevelt arrived at
Reno he was greeted by crowds that
blocked the streets. The Colonel
became separated from his escort in

own way to his automobile. He went
at it like football player and after
a few minutes of scrimmaging reach

Colonel Roosevelt, 81 found that there
had been agitation for number of
years for national reclamation act
and for national pure food law. 1t
is only fair to say that there was not
chance of passing either law until

though there had been valiant work
done for both laws both inside and
outside of congress.

CONDITIONS FAR FROM
BEING SATISFACTORY.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 14-Con
ditions in Cuba are far from satisfac
tory to the state department, and II
was fntimated today that the United
States might indirectly at least, su'
pervise the coming election. The anti.
foreign and anti-American element
are giving the department some un-
easiness and the situation is being
closely watched.
A move in the direction of allaying
the anti-American feeling was taken
today, when Colonel Herbert Slocum
was appointed military attache to the
American legation in Havana. Col
onel Slocum is well known and popu-
lar in Cuba, having organized the ru-
raj police during the American occu-
patton of the island.

FIRST THINGS

The first man to descend the Mis- sissippi to the Gulf was Robert Cav alier, Sieur de La Salle, who was born in Reuen, France, 269 years ago to- day. Settling in Canada at the age of twenty-three, La Sale began his exp1ora tions with an attempt to reach China by descending the Ohio river, which he supposed to empty into the Pacific. As soon as he discovered that the Ohio flowed into the Mississippi and the latter into the Gulf, he form ed the project of descending the Mis- eissippi to its mouth. The long voy. age was concluded after many and severe hardships. La Sale named the Mississippi the River Colbert, after his patron at the court of France, and to the valley Of the river and the re- gions of its tributaries he gave. the name of Louisiana. La Sale explored various parts of Michigan, Ontario and other sections in the Great Lakes dis trict, and founded trading post on the site of the present city of Peoria, Ills. La Sale was assassfnated' by some of his disgruntled followers while exploring what is now the State of Texas
