Many stories are told of the shah of Persia in connection with his last visit to England. One of these tales, prob- ably more amusing than true, is that he advised the Prince of Wales quietly to make away with a certain extremely influential duke, as the latter was growing too powerful to be safe. But a story which is vouched for is the ac- count of the shah’s visit to Newgate prison. While there he suddenly re- quested to see an execution. He was courteously informed that at the pres- ent moment there was no one under sentence. The shah swept away these trifling objections with a wave of his hand. “Take one of my suite,” said he. “Any one will do.” And he was woefully disappointed because the offi- cials on the spot declined to comply with his request. The shah had a mag- nificent collection of jewels, among them being an emerald nearly as large as a hen’s egg. The present shah will make a continental tour this summer, visiting England in July. It is said that he is bringing with him a num- ber of costly and beautiful gifts for his royal and imperial hosts in all the places he intends to visit. His tour will take six months.

The oblong square purses, which open with an ordinary clasp, are more popular now than the envelope-shaped purses, which have jeweled buttons. These purses are studded with jewels in gold ring settings, in some the jew- els outlininig the edges of the purses, and in others dotting the whole of the side. One, for instance, has the entire side covered with amethysts, cut dia- mond-shape, set at regular intervals, The purses with studs have one advan- tage—the studs can be removed and used for collar buttons or to close the neck bands of blouses.

Telegrams from Shanghai, dated Thursday, say: The dowager empress has ordered Gen. Neih Si Chong, with 3,000 men, to protect the railroad at Pekin. A severe fight has occurred with the Boxers, whose ranks include many soldiers from other commands. When the battle ended 200 dead were left on the field. One hundred and eighty British ma- rines, with a machine gun, are about to force a passage from Tien Tsin to Pe- kin. Altogether, about goo British have been landed from the fleet, a greater number than have been landed from the combined vessels of the other powers. This evidence of Great Britain's inten- tion to assert her position strongly gives great satisfaction. During the engagement at Tung Hu between the Boxers and Catholic Christians Tuesday the latter captured nine cannons. . The authorities are displaying guilty supineness in dealing with the Boxers and the powers are taking matters into their own hands. The Boxer revolt is spreading and is rapidly changing its character. The Boxers are getting arms, preparing to meet force with force The Boxers are still raiding and pil- laging over a wide area. hey have wrecked and burned the stations at Long Fong and Langoo. Mme. Astier and Messrs. Ossent and Cadcs have been murdered. N Gen. Nich claims to have defeated the Boxers, killing 500. Attempts to repair the railway be- tween Tien Tsin and Pekin have been frustrated by the Boxers, who, thou- sands strong, hold the line against the engineers, gangs attacking the trains ar- riving. All the children and women, except Lady MacDahald, have left the legations. There are the gravest fears for missionaries in outlying parts. They number hundreds and the stations are isolated. Concerted action is impossi- ble. A special dispatch from Peking under date of Saturday, says: The situation is growing steadily more alarming. The missionary com- pounds were all abandoned yesterday evening. Forty American and English missionaries are gathered at the Ameri- can Methodist mission, surrounded by 300 native pupils, whom it was impossi- ble to send to their homes. They were waiting with a few revolvers and guard- ed by 10 American marines for rein- forcements to take them to the coast. Another dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated Sunday, says: About 1,500 for- eign troops of all arms left for Peking by two troop trains this morning. Ten thousand troops of all nationalities, ac- cording to a dispatch from Shanghai, will be sent to Peking to back up the demands of the ministers upon the gov- ernment or, if necessary, to suppress the “Boxers” themselves. The American mission buildings at Tung-Chau, 12 miles from Peking, which were abandoned by the mission- aries, have been looted and burned by the Chinese soldiery who were sent to protect them. Within three days 75 na- tive Christians, well-known men, who had been trained for years by American missionaries, have been massacred near Tung Chau. Many of them were burn- ed alive. The intimidation of Christians con- tinues within Peking itself. Most of the mission compounds are closed, and the mssionaries are being collected un- der the protection of the Legation guards. Reinforcements for all the guards are coming, BOXERS THE VERY SCUM. Broadswords Discarded for Modern Weapons Furnished by Imperial Family. Rev. Mr. Sowerby, who ‘has worked for 20 years in China and who has just reached London from Pao Ting Fu, says: “The ‘Boxers’ are the scum of the population, They have no uniform or- ganization, nor any official leaders. Formerly they carried broadswords, but now they have well-managed mod- ern weapons, undoubtedly supplied by the imperial family. Before drilling they throw themselves on the ground, work themselves into a frenzy and then be- lieve themselves invulnerable, “The dowager empress has fostered an otherwise unimportant movement be- cause of the wholesale desertions from her army under Gen. Tung, the imperial troops believing that war with some for- eign power is imminent. “The dowager empress, who becomes more intensely anti-foreign as time passes, has been greatly annoyed by the work of the Germans at Kia Chow. She desires to use force to stop the reform movement, and is ready to defy the Eu- ropean powers. If the ‘Boxers’ are permitted to invade Peking the result will probably be disastrous to foreign missions, which are isolated and spread over a large area.” New Machine Gun. Herman H. Toll, a boy of Clarinda, Towa, has invented a compound ma- chine gun which has excited the inter- est of Congressman W. P. Hepburn. The gun or guns consist of 144 rifles of small bore, which are mounted in a carriage resembling a movers wagon. The muzzles point out of the rear of the wagon and are arranged in twelve tiers, with 12 guns in a tier. All of these guns are connected by a lever, by one movement of which all the guns may be loaded, fired and the shells ejected. One operator can work the uns. Toll declares that at a mile range the gun can scatter bullets over a distance of 248 feet, putting a bullet every two feet. The compound gun, he declares, has a ampacity of 8,640 bullets a min- ute, which is many times as great as any gun now in use. Trolley Smash Kills Four. A frightful accident resulting in the loss of four lives and the injuring of 26 persons occurred on the Oakland Beach electric road at noon Sunday. Two cars met in a head-on collision on a sharp curve. The car coming toward the city telescoped the down trip car, crashing its way through to the fifth seat. Additions to- the death list are hourly expected, as several of the injured are at the hospital in a precarious condi- tion. The dead and wounded were quickly extricated from the wreck, the latter being removed to the hospitals. The accident took place on the sub- urban line between Providence, R. I, and Oakland Beach, a summer resort some 12 miles distant. Swept by a Cyclone. A cyclone swept over Winnipeg, Man, Wednesday night, from the south- east. Carriages were overturned, boats on the river upset, and several build- ings demolished. A boathouse on the river bank was overturned, with the result that several young men and boys who had taken shelter behind it, were badly injured, one of the number being instantly killed. Lands Open to Homesteaders.

Transvaalers Have Severed His Line of Rail- way Communication—No Word From Roberts For Three Days. The executive offices of the Transvaal government are in a railway car, which! is shunted on a switch at Machadorp station. President interior of the coach to be reconstructed some time ago with a view to contin- gencies that have arrived. Referring to the reasons why he left Pretoria, Mr. Kruger said to a corre- spondent : I was not foolish enough to be taken prisoner. I provided this means of lo- comotion precisely for the same reason as our burghers supply themselves with horses when they take the field. It is necessary that I should be able to move quickly from place to place. By and by this car will take me back to Pre- toria. For the present it enables me to keep away from Pretoria, where I could be of no service and where I should only play into the hands of the enemy. You may depend upon it that the war is not yet over. Guerrilla warfare will continue over an enormous area. We intend to fight to the bitter end and shall probably retire upon Lydenburg, where we can hold out for many months. It is only now the real struggle has begun. I fear that there will still be much bloodshed, but the fault is that of the British government. Then rais- ing his voice to an almost passionate height, Mr. Kruger exclaimed: The time has passed for us to talk. We have done plenty of that, but it has done us no good. There is nothing leit for us to do but to keep on fighting, to keep on fighting. The burghers are fully determined to fight to the last. They will never surrender so long as 500 armed men re- main in the country. The Boers have torn up 21 miles of Lord Roberts’ vital line of railway be- tween American Siding and Roodeval. It is a bold raid and vexatious, but it does not disquiet the military authori- ties, for they expect Gen. Kelley- Kenney to drive off the marauders and to re-open the line. The rapidity of Lord Roberts’ advance cannot have permitted him to accumulate large re- serves of stores. Therefore an inter- ruption of the railway, even for a week, must embarrass the army and ma bring the forward operations to a stanc still. Nothing has been heard from Rob- erts for three days. This raid on the railway, the strenuous opposition to Gen. Rundle and the nimble escape of Gen. Botha's division ‘have forced the war office observers to the conclusion that the war is not yet over, although even the Boer sympathizers cannot see how the Boers will be able to do any- thing to change the result. Gen. Rundle’s and Gen. 3rabant’s divisions are still at Hammonia, in the Ficksburg district. The latest intelli- gence is that the Boers are determined to fight to the bitter end. They are concentrating 4,000 men around Bethle- hem. Gen. Hunter has warned all burghers that if the telegraph is cut behind him he will burn the houses near the line. BRUTALITY TO WOMEN. Tw Shameful Treatment by the Mob at St. Louis Schools Invaded. A mob of furious women and boys Friday night beat and denuded I.cna Kaenter, a young woman who makes her living by peddling lunches among employes of the “alifornia ~~ Avenue street car line. When the mob had strip- | Kruger caused the | { | ped her to the waist, one woman, daubed her with green paint, | while two others held her, the jeecring | boys and women of the mob applauding | the outrage and throwing mud. Two] shop girls were attacked by the same | mob an hour later, and they also were | partly denuded before they escaped. An organized “committee” of women began to visit the public schools, en tering the school rooms, accusing the teachers of riding on the tabooed cars, and threatening them with bodily harm if they did so again. At the Mount Pleasant school the leader of this “com- mittee” seized the principal, Mrs. Rose Fanning, shook her violently and an- nounced that she would be tarred and feathered if either she or any of her teachers rode on the cars again. Bloody Riot at St. Louis. Sunday was one of the most eventful and bloody since the strike on the St. Louis transit lines began more than one month ago. There were numerous encounters between strikers and others and the authorities, resulting in four deaths and the wounding of four per- sons, mostly strikers. One of the latter will die. Gov. Stephens says that everything is in readiness for calling out the Na tional Guard to quell disorder in Louis, but he will not issue the call ex- cept as a last resort. It will cost, he said, $5000 to land 2500 men in St. Louis, and as much per day to maintain them, and as there is no appropriation for that purpose he does not know how the Leg- islature would view a deficiency of $100,000 for maintaining troops in St. Louis. Fire Destroys Canadian Town. The large lumber colony at St. Etienne, belonging to Price Bros. & Co., of Quebec, was totally d fire Wednesday afterncon. T loss is very great, and includes 300,000 feet of lumber, stores, all the wharves, one schooner and two bateaux that were moored at the wharf. Forty families are rendered homeless by the conflagration, and are in a desti- tute condition. The fire is supposed to have been started by the colonists, The loss is estimated to be between $350,000 and $400,000. Fire Causes $500.000 Loss. The entire business and most of the residence section of the town of Vir- ginia, on the Mesaba iron range, Minn., was wiped out of existence Thursday by fire. The territory over which the fire traveled covered about 12 blocks, nine of which were thickly built up. There is not a business house, hotel or store standing in Virginia. The loss is esti- mated at $500,000; insurance not over $125,000. So far as known no lives were lost. There is little food left in the town, and women and children are with- out places to sleep or any covering. Plague in Brazil. Telegrams from Rio Janeiro, dated Wednesday, say: It is announced that during the last 24 hours there have been eight new cases of plague. An official bulletin says that since the plague ap- peared there have been 88 cases, of which 26 have been fatal.

Two Hundred Miners Entombed—Three Lose Their Lives—Bodies Unrecovered. At Glouster, O., two hundred miners were imprisoned early by an explosion of gas in mine No. 2 Friday morning and as many more were about to enter the mine for work. It was thought at first that the loss of life would be very large, but the work of rescuers was car- ried on so energetically and successfully that all were rescued and saved, e cept three. Evan Joseph, John McClelland and Aaron Swanson were killed and their bodies probably cannot be recov- ered. as the mine is still on fire. I'hese men were engaged to watch the large mine at night and see that it was in condition for the miners to en- ter in the morning. They were cut off from all means of escape at the time oi the explosion, and their horses perish- ed with them. William Williams, also employed in the mine, had his leg broken and others suffered slight in- juries. The explosion set the mine on fire cuing party has been working with difficulty. State Mine Inspector Elmer G. Biddison was telegraphed for and he, with Deputy Inspector Will- iams, are on the ground trying to smoth- er and drown out the flames, but so far they have been unsuccessful. In the evening a second explosion occurred and shortly afterward a third, in which the system of fans used to force fresh air into the mine was completely destroyed. There were 400 men employed in the mine. Had the explosion occurred a few moments later, after all the men had entered and taken their positions, the destruction of human life would have been fearful to contemplate. ANOTHER MINE EXPLOSION. Four Men Killed and Three Seriously Injured at the Ellsworth Pit. A terrible gas explosion occurred at the Ellsworth mines, at Ellsworth, 12 miles west of Monongahela, Pa., at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, in which two men were killed and three injured. There was no person in the mines at the time of the explosion, the day shift having come out at noon and the five miners killed and injured were the first of the night shift to enter the cage to descend the shaft when the explosion took place. The force of the cxplosion seemed to be in the shaft. The cage in which the men ‘had just entered was thrown a number of feet in the air and its occupants thrown out. All clung to the rigging of the derrick except Rodg- ers and Forsythe, who fell to the bot- tom of the shaft. Rodgers was hurled to the top of the derrick before falling into the shaft and got a fall of 300 feet The cage was ¢ ught before falling and was soon repaired and sent to the bottom with a party in search of the men who were thrown out. They were found lying at the bottom of the shait in a badly ma ed state TEN CENTS TO SEE A CORPSE. Hummel Hanged and His Body at Once Placed on Exhibition. William Hummel was hanged at Williamsport, Pa., Tuesday morning at 10:58 o'clock. The body was rushed to an undertaker’s establishment, where it was embalmed and turned over to Manager Bubb of the Lycoming opera house, to whom Hummel sold it. At 3:30 o'clock it was placed on exhibition in the opera house. A rope was placed around the neck to make it more realis- tic. An admission fee of 10 cents was charged, and loys with banners and dodgers advertised the “great show.” The body was to have been taken throughout the country for the purpose of publicly exhibiting it. It had been embalmed to last months. On_the night of November 16, 1890, Rag Peddler William Hummel deliber- ately murdered his wife and her three = a Wednesday morning the attention of Mayor Williams was called to the mat-" ter and after consulting City Solicitor Reardon he issued instructions to Chief of Folice Striker to have the exhibi- tion stopped and to employ the entire police force, if necessary. The remains of Hummel will be buried at the scene of the murder. Work of This Congress.

Admiral S. E. Freemantle, for years in charge of the Indian and Chinese squadrons, arrived at Vancouver, B. C,, Wednesday on his return from a tour of the Orient. He said he thought Ja- pan and Russia will fight. At any rate would never back down. The feeling was so intense that no ministry could or would give in to Russia. Ko- rea should belong to Japan, and the Japanese know it and will fight for it Japan was in the right and she would win. Moors Are Massing. Special dispatches received from Al- giers portray a serious situation. Thou- sands of Moors are massing at Figuig in the neighborhood preparing for a de- termined attack upon the advance posts of the French. The French columns have joined hands at Zoubia, but the men suffer ter- ribly from heat and thirst, and hundreds of camels died. The French are preparing intrench- ments and are confident of their ability to repel an attack and even to take the offensive against Figuig, if necessary.

Papers Funston Secured Contain Rebel Chief's Instructions to His Bolomen for the Murdering of all Americans. As a result of last week's scouting more than 200 Filipinos were killed and 160 captured, while 140 rifles, with am- munition and stores, were secured. The American killed, including a captain and a lieutenant, two captains and 21 p s wounded and one captain taken prisoner by the Filipinos. The great store of insurgent docu- ments discovered by General Funston, together with some interesting papers which Captain Smith found in the pos- session of General Pantaleon Garcia, throw interesting side lights upon the Filipino government. Most important of the lot is Aguin- aldo’s plan for the uprising in Manila, which was drawn by him at Malolos, is in his own handwriting in the Talolog loss was nine 9, 1899. f insurgents were to repair to housetops whence they were to hurl down upon the soldiers heavy furniture, and any iron implements they might have heated redhot. They were also to have ready in their houses hot water, which was to be thrown upon passing soldiers or squirted at them from bam- boo syringes. The women and children were exhorted to help in preparing the water and boiling oil, which they were to pass out to the men for use. After- wards bolomen were to run through streets slashing Americans wherever they met them. They were instructed not to stop to pick up the guns of soldiers they kill- ed, as those could be collected after- ward. The bolomen were warned to BARRIE IN POLITICS.

Telegrams from Manila, dated Wednesday, say: Major Johnson, with two companies of the Twenty-ninth in- fantry and 25 men of the eighteenth in- lantry sailed from Romblon to the neighboring island of Tablas, where they disembarked simultaneously in four columns, converging upon a cen- tral point. The Americans encountered about 60 rebels, who retre ated, and they captured 4o, including all the officers, together with 10,000 rounds of ammuni- ton and 24 rifles. Forty men of the T'wenty-ninth regiment, with a lieuten- ant, were left as a garrison, the others returning to Romblon. Forty rifles, with artillery and a con- siderable quantity of ammunition have been captured by the Americans in the mountains of Dunalufihan. Three Filipinos were also taken. American scouts have destroyed the camp of General Mascardo. The natives report that Mascardo, with 200 men and 500 rifles will surrender if given assurances that they will not be im- prisoned.

Strange Experience of a Man Who Met With a Mountain Mishap. James Wiltbank, of Black Log Val- ley, Huntingdon county, Pa., met with | a queer experience on Saturday. He | was going down a steep part of the | Black Log mountain, when he caught | hold of a grape vine and swung out ov- | er the mountain side. The vine broke | loose and the man was thrown aut over the tree tops. He lost his hold on the vine and landed in the top of another tree further down the mountain. In the tree where he struck was an eagles’ nest, and both the old birds at- tacked him fiercely with talons and beak. He succeeded in getting out his knife and struck at the birds, managing to keep them off until he had scrambled to the ground. At this juncture the male bird fastened its talons into his leit shoulder. With a well directed ! blow of his knife Wiltbank killed the | bird, when the female screamed and flew away. He will have the dead eagle mounted. Outbreak in Borneo. A special from Victoria, B. C., says: News was brought from the east by the steamer Empress of Japan that a serious uprising against the British has again broken out in North Borneo. Many refugees who arrived in La- buan say that the cause of the outbreak was the general dissatisfaction against the rule of the Chartered Company. In the fighting several British were killed and seven wounded. Twenty-five Chi- nese were killed and the environs of the city were totally destroyed. Led Into an Ambush. | Capt. Frank F.
