 For two long hours they held the river along their whole line It seem ed to them that they were fighting great battle.

in their eternal silence than if they had spoken with thousand angry tongues.
 Less than a thousand men, it was said afterward, escaped from the mas sacre They zcraw1ed away down gull lies or swam down the river and hid under weeds and panted and tied up their wounds with rags from their rag ged garments,

 When the news of the battle of Con- necticut went through the United States there was a temporary end to all patience, t6 all calculations of pru- dence. There was an end to every thing except blind passion. The Unit ed States was not a patient nation, but no nation, however patient, could have remained so at such time.
 Trusted leaders pointed in vain to the history of the United States to hurried into battle in obedience to popular demand the result had been only to hurry disaster. In vain they pointed to the civil. war and the hid eous death tolls paid by both sides without military advantage to either.
 No administration, however determin- ed, could have ignored it. Secretly, a special train was made ready in Wash ington- Secretly, in the night, the pres ident of the United States, with his advisers and staff, boarded it and were taken northward.
 At Jefferson Junction an armored train with machine guns and a three inch rife slid in ahead of them from siding where it had been waiting. An officer entered the presidents train and requested that all shades be kept down. Thus, furtively, the nations ruler en- tered Albany
 Army headquarters had been a tar get, like the White House, for mes sages that had shaken those to whom they were addressed More than once the commanding general had felt that it was more than human men could bear. More than once, in council, ofl- cers, infuriated by the yelled accusa- tions of cowardfce in the dispatches, had spoken in favor of giving the army the fatal order to go into action.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Northern Sections Butter Barely Covers
Trade Requirements.

Boston, Sept. 1.-The local butter mar
ket shows some life and strength on
really fine goods in small tubs and boxes
and prints, but otherwise remains dull
and no more than steady. The make of
butter in the northern sections is running
lighter and current receipts are barely
sufficient to cover regular trade require
ments, although these wants are not as
great now as they will be little later
when people begin to get back from their
summer homes. There is a generous
stock of fine June butter in the coolers,
but il cannot be drawn on to meet the
present scarcity, as it stands the owners
considerably more than it would sell for
on the present market.

Ancient Human Skull.

OF interest in connection with the
Tertiary gold bearing river gravels of
California is the story OF the Calaver-
as skull For time this skull attract
cd much attention not only from people
IN California, but from scientific mer
the world over. 1t was reported to have
been found in 1866. near the town of
Angels, Calaveras county, at depth OF
$50 feet, in Tertiary gravels underlying
Tetary lava. The finding of a human
skull embedded in such deposits was for
time believed to indicate that man
had been in existence ia North America
longer than had been supposed. Strange
to say, the skull is of higher type than
skulls which, although known to ante
date historic times, are known also to
be much younger than the Tertiary. Al
though Prof. j. D. Whitney, then state
ceclogist, accepted the skull as bit OF
genuine scientific evidence, it is general
ly believed by students of the antiquity
OF man that the Calaveras skull, while
old. probably did not come

THE COMMON WASH RAG
Is Called More Dangerous Than the Com
mon Towel

| The United States public health sery-
of health have taken adequate meq .i'res
for the abolition of that distributor of
disease germs, the common towel. Now
comes the news that the common wash
rag is even a greater menace to health.
The hotels and public hostelries have
recognized this for some time and have
supplied their guests with stcr,lized wash
cloths in individual sealed packets The
damp. sour smelling wash rag still ex-
lists, however, in many private bath
rooms. Imperfectly washed out after
use, frequently not wrung out at all. it
is often hung over a rack or II radiator
near an open window, there to collect
dust and dirt. Frequently ths same
washrag is used by the entire family.
thus affording an easy means OF trans
terrence of mouth secretions from person
to person. In many households each in
diyidual has his own wash cloth and his
individual towel. but these hangs so
close TO one another that there is ready
of bacteria. Each indiyidusl
should have his own wash cloth. II
should be then wrung as nearly dry as
possible, and ii possible hung ia the sun
to dry II should not come in contact
with other wash cloths. IN tn inyesti-
cations the United States public health
service is conducting in regard to the
prevalence of trachoma IL has been found
that common towels probably acted p.
medium of distribution of the germ cf
disease.

WELSH MINERS
WIN VICTORY
The Operators Yield to the
Demands Of the
Workers
ARE TO RESUME
WORK TO-DAY
The Government Announces
the Terms of the New
Agreement

London Sept. 1.-The South Wales
coal miners dispute ended yesterday aft
ernoon in complete victory for the men
| Following two days of conferences here
the government announced yesterday
afternoon that the coal operators have
conceded the demands of the miners and
| that the men who quit work in some dis
trcts will be back in the mines to-day,
The terms of the settlement agreed
upon yesterday by population of min
lers' officials and coal operators will be
submitted to the miners delegates for
formal ratification at Cardiff to-day.
This decision was arrived at after a
hurried Cabinet meeting to which David
Lloyd George was called after an early
conference with the mems representa-
tiyes.
Minister Lloyd George was summoned
to Downing street at noon yesterday,
few minutes after Mr.. Asquith had ar
rived in his motor car from the eoun-
try. At intervals of less than ten min
utes Lord Kitchener, Sir Edward Grey,
First Lord of the Admiralty Balfour,
Lord Lansdowne, Sir Edward Carson and
other members of the cabinet arrived.
One thousand miners in the Mon
mouthshire district quit work yester
day, but miners officials expressed the
opinion that satisfactory agreement
will be reached before night, all the
strikers resuming work to-day.
What occurred in Thursdays confer
ence was kept secret, but the miners
officials were in more optimistic mood
when they came from their meeting with
of Munition Lloyd George 1t
was reported yesterday that Lloyd
George agreed with the miners that some
of the pledges made them when they
recently returned to work had not been
fully kept in the governments arhi
tration award.
The miners representatives met with
Mr., George and President Runciman OF
the government board of trade yester-
lay to consider some of the minor de- |
tails in the tentative agreement. The
miners officials were to return to Car |
lift last night to lay the agreement be-
fore delegates representing practically |
Ill the Welsh and southwest England |
'oal districts.
How, serious the situation was Thurs
lay night was learned yesterday. The
,reat majority of the delegates at Car
Tiff favored quitting work last night.
They sent telegram TO London an
bouncing this decision. The miners rep
esentatives here rushed telegram back
o Cardiff urging the delegates to re-
onsider their action.
A resolution was then adopted by a
ote of l,244 t. 1876 reconsidering the
ormer decision. BY the terms of this
esolution the miners viii continue at
york at least throughout to-day, by
shich time the report of the London
difference will be available.
