An Alarming Condition of Affair at stealer Mines. Haaselton, Pa., Sept. 15. At this writing troops are marching on the mines of Cox Bros., at Eckle', , which lies in a vulley about 18 miles from here. Telegrams to brigade headquar ters late this evening indicated an alarming condition there. The re moteness of the situation will make difficult the securing of definite new" from the scene before morning. The stiierintendunt of the Eckley colliery telegraphed General Gobin for troops, but later the request was with drawn, the superintendent notifying him that the strikers hud stopped marching. At 4 o'clock this afternoon Genera Uobin received telegrums that these millers had again assembled, had nmrchod on the Eckley mines and forced the miners to quit work. It was stated in this dispatch that the miners had been ronghly handled. General Gobin has ordered the city troops of Philadel phia to the scene of the disturbance. The start will be made shortly after midnight, or just after daybreak. The troops will rido across the mountains, a distance of 18 miles, to Eckley. Eckley is a small mining village, and lies in a valley. There are a number of col lieries there, and fears have been enter tained for the past 48 hours that troublo would break out, as the men had been acting very ugly. The situation tonight in Ilazloton district is one of unrest. The collieries in this district are apprehensive of danger. Requests have been pourin in to General Uobin from the various mines, auking that lie send troops to the places in order to prevent any pos sible outbreak. The general states that lie will not send troops to any point unless an outbreak does occur. Th general declines to give the names of the collieries, as all the men in them are still at work. Tho operators, how ever, are apprehensive of a strike, and want to be prepared for an emergency, Two mine superintendents in tin immediate vicinity have asked (ion eral Gobin to place guards around their houses. This will be done. General Gobin will not make public tho names of the superintendents who madehe requests. Two nctrosses who are playing In theater here overheard a conversation on the main street of Hazelton today to this effect: They were passing a group of miners, and overheard one of them remark: I've got the material, but I don't know how to mix the stuff, If I did, I would blow them up to night." This information was sent to General Gobin, and as lie had already heard routterings from other sources, he de' cided to send guards to the houses of the two superintendents. The guards were not placed on duty until alter dark. Today has been regarded as the turn ing point of the situation, because of the prohibition issued by General Gobin against the funeral demonstration. A compromise was effected this morning,' however, and the day passed off with out disturbance. In the meantime the Cox collieries were being wutchod with intense anxiety. It was known that the 2,000 men employed at No. 7 had made a demand for a compromise which was to be submitted to the operators todav, with the alternative of "strike." From 5,000 to 10,000 men are employed at all the collieries, and Biioh a movement would bring them all out. General Gobin said: "The rumor that martial law lias been declared has heen started by some vicious person. There is martial law only so fur as a Btate of war exists. We are here solely to assist the sheriff in maintaining peace and order. Men come and go as they please, bo long as they behave themselves. If there is the least infraction of the peace which the civic- authorities are unliable to handle, then we will render assistance." The commander added that neither Sheriff Martin nor any of the deputies would be arrested while the troops were here. ANDERSON NOT LOST Ancient Side Wheeler Is Sale at Dutch Harbor. NEWS BROUGHT BY HUMBOLDT WIRE IN HIS AORTA. Customs inspectors at Laredo, Tex., liave found an unclaimed grip on a train, containing $300,000 worth of diamonds, jewelry and other valuables. The par8 in the valise indicate that it belonged to a Spanish officer. It is believed it was stolon by a man who lacked the courage to claim ownership, W. P. Atwell, commercial agent of tlie United States at Kobuix, Franco, Kinds to tho state department a report n tho short wheat crop in France. He says the crop in France, and in fact nil Europe, has fallen much Mow the average, and that it is estimated that the United States and Canada will be railed upon to exjKirt from 120,000,000 to 130,000,000 bushels more than they rxMirted to Kuroio last year. France will require about 110,000,000 bushels to meet the deficit in that country.

Novel Meant Kmployed to Nave Adrian Hehortoge's Lire. San Francisco, Sept. 15. A surgical operation remarkable in itself and wonderful for its bo far successful re sult, has been performed upon Adrian Hehortogo, a veterui) and skillful ma chinist ol tins city. Fifteen yards of silver wire, as large around as an ordinary hypodermic needle, have been introduced into and coiled within his arota, the great arte rial channel leading directly from the heart. Those 45 feet of wire have been in there for three months and they have saved his life. They were inserted at a time when death seemed certain because of complications result ing from a severely injured aorta. Technically the patient's trouble was aneurism or saoulate.l tumor of the ar terial wall, and its development to a rupturo of tho aorta was only a ques tion of time with certain and instant death as the result. The wire was in troduced into the aorta in order partly to fill it and form there a clot that in time would contract and bo absorbed, thereby restoring the channel to its normal formation. Mayor Woods, of fteattle. Who Char. tared tlie llunibolilt, la Htlll at HI. Michael. Seattle, Kept. 15. The steamer llumlxildt arrived this morning, 11 :lays from St. Michaels, and brought news that the Eliza Anderson is safe. The Anderson is anchored on DuUdi Harbor, where she arrived on the 4th lust., and where she is now detained by revenue officers. Her passengers have by this time entered Bchring sea an the schooner chartered for that pur pose. Two passengers of the Addcrson were so frightened that they gate up then search for gold and returned south on the steamer Humboldt. The Humboldt brought back 14 pas sengers and aiiout flo,OUU in gold. Mayor Wood, who chartered the llum lxildt, is still at St. Michaels, but let ters received from him indicate that all is well with him and that stories of di sension nnd strife on the part of niem hers of the expedition are untrue. The IlumlHildt brines back nows which reiterate the stories of tho untold wealth of the Klondike and Yukon, and verities the previous rumors of a short age of the food supply in the interior. "There will be privation, sickness. starvation, scurvy nnd death on the Yukon thm inter," is what returning gold-huntein all say. NEW KLONDIKE DIGGINGS. Sulphur Creek the Scene of the Latest " Excitement. Seattle, Sept. 14. Sulphur creek, a branch of Dominion creek, which is a tributary to the Indian river, is the scene of the latest great excitement in the Klondike. From accounts of the new district brought down on the South Coast, it seems that the new dig gings will rival even tho famed Bonanza and Eldorado. Gold was found just below the surface running $34 to the pan. Two men took out $300 in a day n simply prospecting their claims. A stampede followed the reports of the new finds, which reached Duwson City, August 15. In a week 500 men had crossed the mountains between Eldorado creek and Dominion creek. They traveled duy and night, and in two weeks the whole stream was staked oat. The first authentic story of Sulphur oreek was given today by John E. Light, of Chicago. He left Dawson City on tho steamer Bella, August 18. He owns a claim on Sulphur creek which he located himeelf. He says: "Sulhpur creek will equal Bonanza. There is no doubt about it. When I first heard of the strike there, I went 3ver the mountain to investigate it myself. I spent one day there with two brothers, the McKinnon boys, of Wellington, B. C. I saw them take out $300 in one day from simply sink- ng two prospect holes. The formation is the same as at Eldorado creek, and Sulphur creeks bears the same relation to Dominion as does Eldorado to Bo nanza. The streams empty into In dian river. They are just across the divide from the Klondike, and the same process that brought millions in gold into the beds of Bonanza and Eldorado creeks deposited as much wealth in Sul phur and Dominion. One old German, whose name I did not learn, located the creek, and from Discovery olaim he took out $30 to the pan. Of course, when the news of the new strike reached DuWBon there was a great stampede, and hundreds left the Klondike for Dominion creek. It is all staked out now. Mark my words, you will hear of big strikes there." TALE OF SPANISH CRUELTY. leporled Trimmer In Transit Ara Bru tally Treated. New York, Sept. 15. The Press says: Two passengers who reached this port on the steamship Hcaudia tell talcs of Spanish cruelty to prisoners. Their names are Juan Vivo and Albert Lopez. t Vivo says that he nnd 125 others were dejKirti'd in Diicember, 1808. from Havana as political prisoners by order of General Weyler. They were to be win lined on tlx Chafurinas islands and were shlpNd on a steamer for Cadiz. On the voyage Vivo declares tho treat ment they received wus brutal in the extreme. They were huddled together like animals in the lower hold of the steamer, and were heavily manacled Scarcely any food, anil that not fit for human beings to cut, was given them, and only two pails of water a day were allowed for the 125 prisoners. Their thirst in tho hot and reeking hold was torture. One of them objected to such starvation ami was beaten so severely by the guards that he died the next day and his body was immediately thrown overhourd. Vivo was pardoned on the lost birth day 01 tlie king of Spain and was re leased on August 2. He was sent to Malaga and from there made his way to Gibraltar, where generous merchants bought him p.issago to this city. Lopez wus a suspect in Cuba, and in order to save himself from being thrown into prison lie evaded the vigilance of the Spanish officers, went to Europe and reached Gibraltar, whence he took passage for New York. He corrolwrates Vivo'g tales of Spanish cruelty. THE STRIKE SETTLED. Evidence of Steady Growth and Enterprise. ITEMS 07 GENERAL INTEREST HAWAII'S PART DONE. Uutifted Some butterflies have as many as 20, 000 distinct eves. Colorado Springs, Col., Sept. 15. Colonel H. S. Esvay, president of the Cripple Creek Consolidated Gold Min iug Company, returned from Cripple creek tonight, bringing with him a piece of ore weighing over 100 ponnds, which is literally alive with free gold, and which will carry values aggre gating fully $100,000 to the ton. The ore was taken from the new find Satur day on the May Queen claim, and is in many respects the most sensational j ever made there A Woman's Btorjr. Tacoma, Sept. 14. Mrs. E. A. Hen- dorson, tho first newspaper correspond ent to make the trip to Dawson City, returned on the steamer Cleveland from St. Michaels, and is visiting friends in this city. With her little 3-year old daughter she spent some months in the mining districts, and gives the Ledger some interesting experiences in the far north. She confirms the report of the find- ng of a $583.25 nugget, the largest yet iscovered in the ukon country, hich Nick Knntson picked up on No. 30, Eldorado, and is bringing to San rancisco on the Excelsior. When the Kxeelsior with its reported, but prob- bly exaggerated, cargo of nearly $1,- 000,000 in dust, reaches San Fran cisco, she believes the fever will prob ably reach its height. Yet," said Mr. Henderson, "the excitement is all on the outside. In the Klondike country, even this huge nugget, which is as largo as your hand and almost a perfect hatchet-head shape and seemingly pure gold, did not greatly excite the miners. "I have been up the Yukon all sum mer. From Apirl to June 1, four men took out from No. 13, Eldorado, from but a small part of the claim, a strip only 25x70 feet, $42, 0:28, and have re cently sold the claim for $45,000. This is, so far, the highest amount got out of a Klondike mine nearly $90,000. "I am asked scores of times, 'Is th Klondike country as rich as reported?' I was prepared to say, 'It can scarcely I be exaggerated,' but since then I have i seen newspapers, and I reply more cau tiously. In several papers I saw the ! statement that somebody btd seen 'five I five-gallon coal oil cans filled with gold ! in one winter.' No one in that conn j try ever heard of such a cabin. The ; truth is, I lifted less than $13,000 of dust in a granite bowl with difficulty. , Gold is heavy to bear in more sense ' than one. Annexation Treaty Probably at Honolulu. New York, Sept. 15. A special to the Herald from Washington save: The senate of the national legislature of the republic of Hawaii has by this time ratified the treaty of annexation of the Hawaiian islands to tlie United States. This assertion was mado to your corre spondent by Mr. Lorin M. Thurston, charge- d'affaires to the United States. Mr. Thurston said that the senate of the Hawaiian legislature had been oalled to assemble on September 8, and that it is unanimous for annexation He hag no doubt that it hag ratified the convention without a dissenting Vote. Both , the-senate and house of th Hawaiian legislature are pledged to an nexntion, according to Mr. Thurston Just before the adjournment of the tw .houses last year, a joint resolution was adopted declaring it to be the seiiBe of the legislature that the interests of Ha waii demanded her annexation to the United States. This resolution was idopted unanimously. As the com pluxion of the senate and house has not changed since the adoption of the reso- lution, Mr. Thurston lias no doubt that so far as Hawaii is concerned, all the 'steps possible have been taken. It is believed in administration cir cles that the effect of the ratification of the treaty by the Hawaiian senate will be to influence some of the mem hers of the United States senate now in the doubtful column to vote for the convention next session. All that is now necessary is the approval of that body, and it is not believed that many members will be willing to shoulder the responsibility of defeating annexa titon and thus throw Hawaii into the hands of Japan. The authorities would naturally be pleased to have the controversy pend ing between Hawaii and Japan settled, because such settlement would tend to remove any objection which might be entertained by senators to bring into the United States a nation which has diplomatic differences with any coun try. It is their opinion, however, that the matter will not bo adjudicated until after annexation is aooomplithud New York Want the Grant Relics. New York, Sept. 13. A proposition has been made to obtain from the fed eral government the collection of Grant relics presented to the National mil seum by Mrs. Grant, and deposit them in the large room in the northeast cor ner of the mausoleum. Architect John H. Duncan intended the room for Grant . relics, but everything which would appeal to visitors as having been owned by the general at some time in his career is in the National museum at Washington. Before Genearl Porter sailed for France Mr. Duncan discussed with him the possibility of the government relin quishing the mementos, but nothing lias been done. . Mr. Duncan said: "It was ordered to hold a meeting recently, hut there are not enough members in town to hold it. Of course the work is practically completed. It would be a good thing to have the mementos as Riverside, but I know of nothing at this time to warrant the hope that they will be brought here." Vprlsiiig; In Guatemala. San Francisco, Sept. 15. The mem bers of the local Central American colony, especially those from Guate mala, are greatly excited over the re ported political disturbance consequent upon President lleyna Barrois' coup d'etat in having himself elected by congress for a second term. The latest dispatches received here Btate that the rebels are sure of success, and that Barrois will probably resign his office to avoid bloodshed. Train Kobhera Frustrated. Lima, O., Sept. 14. An attempt to rob the Wells Fargo express train, on the Chicago & Erie, near Foraker, by tramps, - was frustrated today. The messengers opened fire on the tramps, when they escaped.

The Beaver Hill Coal Company, in Coos comity, has rocuived a diamond drill that will be used in prostectiiig its projierties. Everything at the cannery in Marsh field is running smoothly, and the quality of the fish is good. The man agement claims to be able to put up TOO cases a day. A Scnttsburg farmer thinks he has some tall corn on his farm. He says there is one stalk 13 teet 8 inches high, one 10 foot 2 inches, and two that grow up 10 feet. Sheepmen of Gilliam county say that the grass is drying up pretty fast in the mountains and that the sheep will be tuken to their home range earlier than usual this season. The fall run of beshows, or coal fish, has arrived in Coos bay, and largo quantities are being caught with hooks and linCH off the cannery wharf. Some people consider these fish nearly as good us mackerel. The Brownsville Woolen Mills are so crowded with orders for goods that the machinery is kept humming from day light until dark, and some of it day and night, Rays tho Brownsville Times. Last week the wages of employes were advanced 5 per cent. The cannery at Marshfleld ran short on cans last week, and had to stop the receipt of fish for one day, but is now in operation, and is canning all the fish received. Superintendent Flye says that they are now able to take care of 2,000 chinooks a duy. A placer mining company operating on the uaker county side of Powder river,' one and one-half miles from its mouth, has a floating flume a quarter of a mile long, three feet wide and a foot deep, and a few men there are getting big paying results. The Vale Advocate says that in the canyon of the Malheur there is a small active animal unlike anything described iii the natural histories. By jieople living on the Malheur it is called a "rocket cat," although it is very un like the common stubtail wild cat, of which there are many in the country. A resident of the Helix country, in Umatilla county, takes the palm so far this season for growing the largest yield of barley per acre. His barley turned out 70 bushels per acre, and his wheat crop went above 40 bushels. He sold his wheat crop for better than 75 centH, nnd he is in excellent humor in conse quence. A savage boar attacked two horses pastured on theBellfountain fruit farm, in Benton county, last week, killing one and maiming the other. The horses belonged to men working for the Green Peak Fruit Company. Later, the owner of the hog removed its tusks and penned it up. When next he visited it he founi the animal dead. Miners Accept the rrnpnltlon of Pitta burg; Operator. Columbus, O., Sept. 14. The great miners' strike, which was declured ou July 4, wus brought to un end thin evening, so far, at least, as Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia are concerned, by the action of the convention of miners which lias, been in session since Wednesday. After a day of voting and wrangling, the con vention voted to accept the proposition of the Pittsburg operators. The voto was 495 for and 817 against accepting the terms of settlement, and 11 votes wore not cast. The delegutea from Il linois, who hud 250 votes, were unani mously against the settlement; Indiana and West Virginia voted solidly to ac cept tho projMisition, but there were scattering votes among Ohio and Penn sylvania against it. The resolution in as follows: "Resolved, That we, the miners of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, In diana and Illinois, in contention assem bled, do horoby agree to accept tho proposition recommended by our na tional executive council, viz , 65 cents in Pittsburg district and all places in the above-named states whore a relative price can be obtained, to resume work and contribute liberally to the-miners who wlil not receive the advance, over which the fight must be continued to a bitter end. "Kesolved, That the national officers of the executive bourd and district presidents act us an advisory board for the purpose of providing ways and means for the carrying on of the strike where necessary; provided, however, that no district resume work for 10 days, for the purpose of giving minors) in other districts time to confer with the operators and got the price, if pos sible.' The Illinois men will be called in convention at Springfield, September 19, to determine what shall be done in that state. A resolution was adopted denouncing the action of the deputies in firing into the striking miners at Hazelton. LIVES CRUSHED OUT. England's greatest woman appeared in the jubilee festivities, bnt England's greatest man didn't. He was at home with his books at HawarJen. Washington. Three inohes of snow fell on the Wenatchee summit one night last week. The shingle mill ai Ocosta has been started, giving employment to over 20 men. There are not enough loggers and mill hands in the Gray's harbor country to supply the demand. A. C. Little, state fish commissioner, hopes to have the fish hatchery on the Chelmlis river ready for the fall run of steelheads. Improvements now being made at the warehouse in Wilbur will raise the total storage oapacity for grain at that place to 180,000 bushels. State Dairy Commissioner McDonald warns owners of cows to look out for tuberculosis and lumpy jaw. Several cases of lumpy jaw have recently been reported from Pierce and King counties, and a cow suffering from tuberculosis was killed near Fern hill, not far from Tacoma, recently, by the commissioner. The Indians on the Yakima. reserva tion complain that some of the squaw men who used to be employed in doing the threshing on the reservation have revenged themselves, because of the employment of a steam thresher, by putting barb wire into the bundles of grain, thereby wrecking the cylinder of the thresher. A detachment of Uncle Sara's regular army, from the V ancouver barracks, consisting of two lieutenants, a corporal and four privates, with a complete camping equipment, has been to camp in Clallam county surveying and mak- ng maps of the roads in that vicinity. While there are six horses and mules ! n the outfit, two of the officers use bicycles, and sav that they are far superior to horses for such work. A movement is on foot in Colville for the purpose of raising funds with which to build a new courthouse.

While the train was running at a. speed of 20 miles an hour, the forward trucks of one of the cars near the en gine broke, wrecking 15 cars with wal nuts and baled hay. With the excep tion of two cars in front and three in tho rear, including the caboose, every car of the 20 in the train was ditched. The middle of the train was a car load ed with heavy machinery, and it wus in this oar that 13 men were stealing n ride. Thooccnpaiita of the. wrecked car were a party of men and boys living in Vian, who were coming to Van Buren to find employment in the cotton fields.
