maana Clash
BLUEFIELD, W. Va.-, Aug. , 28. There
is much excitement on Crane Creek and
Simmons Creek over the recent shootings,
This morning John Ruble, a blacksmith
emnloved by the Sagamore Coal & Coke
Company, was shot by striking miners
and killed. Reports were current during
the day that a number of guards had been
killed and wounded by the strikers, but
Investigation proves that Ruble was the
only man killed. Ruble, In company with
Barney Shumate, of this city, who had
been employed as a guard, left the com
pany store to go to a point on the works
to stand guard, as the company feared a
visit from a mob. .En route, they were
fired on, and Ruble fell. Shumate was
armed with a rifle and opened fire on the
miners, who, after their first volley, ran.
None of them has been arrested. The
nonunion men who took the strikers
places are terrorized, and many of them
are leaving.
Troops Sent to the Scene.
CHARLESTON. W. Va., Aug. 2S. Gov-"
rnor White has ordered th,e Second Regi
ment of West Virginia National Guard
to the New River district, not, as he
says, to settle the strike, but to protect
life and property. Colonel Morrison, of
Parkcrsburg, was given orders early In
the morning to call out his regiment and
proceed by special train to Thurmond,
which will be the headquarters. The cause
for this action by the Governor Is the ap
peal of Sheriff Danlel7 of Fayette County,
for assistance, on the ground that many
citizens refuse to respond to his summons
io act as deputies to enable Tilm to exe
cute the orders of the court and his dec
laration that he Is powerless to protect
life and property. He communicated with
the Governor yesterday, when his deputies
were fired on in the vicinity of Red Ash,
where they were evicting miners who are
strikers and who are in arrears for rent.
"Will Guard Collieries.
THURMOND. W.' Va., Aug. 28. Every
thing is quiet in the New River coal field
tonight, ana has been quiet throughout the
day. save a little skirmish at Captorton,
In which 20 or more shots were fired but
no one Injured. The entire Second Regi
ment of state troops arrived here today,
and tonight are being distributed about
various coal operations where there was
trouble yesterday.
STOXED THE SOLDIERS.
riash Betvrcen. Strikers and Troops
at Tamaq.ua.
TAMAQUA, Pa., Aug; 28. The first
clash between the striking miners and
the troops occurred this morning, and
as a result five prisoners are in the guard
house, and Captain, J. Beaver Gearhart,
of Company F. Twelfth Regiment, is suf
fering from a stone wound on his shoul
der. This morning a report gained cur
rency that the striking miners were gath
ering in force to make a march on the
No. 4 colliers', where the Lehigh Coal
& Navigation Company is mining and
cleaning coal. The colliery is at the
west end of the Panther Creek Valley.
Companies F and K. of the Twelfth Regi
ment, were placed on trolley cars and
run through the valley. At Summit Hill
the cars were surrounded by strikers,
who hurled rocks at the soldiers and
called them hard names. While Jimmy
Marteen, an Italian, was in the act of
hurling a stone at a car, several soldiers
jumped off and attempted to capture him.
Marteen offered resistance, and the sol
diers were compelled to fix their bayo
nets. In the melee Marteen was wounded
slightly in the left side.
The troopers started back to camp, and
as the cars rounded a curve just outside
of Summit Hill, at a point where the
tracks take an abrupt dip, the motorman
cn the first car made the discovery that
the rails had been greased. The cars
were stopped, and soldiers were sent
ahead to place sand upon the rails. When
this had been done It was possible, by
moving the cars slowly, to reach Lansford
in safety. A mob "had gathered there,
and for a time it looked like a riot. As
the first car was passing through the
mcb, Captain Gearhart was struck on the
right shoulder by a stone. Several sol
diers Jumped from the car in pursuit of
the stonethrower. After an exciting scuf
fle they captured Joseph McCann, a young
miner.
They proceeded again, but had not gone
far when another crowd was encoun
tered and the soldlera were again taunted
and stoned. Half a dozen soldiers jumped
off and captured three men. who, it Is
said, were urging the crowd to attack
the troops. The men gave their names
as John King, Timothy King and John
Kelly. They were taken to camp at
Manila Park, where, together with Mc
Cann and Marteen, they were placed tin
der a lieavy guard.
Tonight the situation has quieted and
ihe troops are enjoying a rest. This even
ing. Company K, of the Twelfth Regi
ment, escorted the nonunion men to their
hemes in Lansford and Coaldale. Large
commands of strikers gathered on the
streets, but there was no hostile demon
stration. The officers of the Twelfth Reg
iment state that the Second Battalion of
that command, stationed at Shenandoah,
wlil be ordered here tomorrow, unless the
situation is greatly improved. The bat
talion will be stationed at Summit Hill.
John King. Tom King, John Kelly and
James Marteen were released tonight.
Joseph McCann. the fifth prisoner, was
taken to Lansford under a heavy guard,
where he was arraigned before Squire
Lewis on a charge of assault and battery,
breach of the peace and Inciting riot. He
was held in J300 bail.
Small Output of Coal.
PITTSTON, Pa., Aug. 28. The chances
for an early, resumption of the mines in
the anthracite coal fields on the same
scale as they were operated previous to
the strike of the mlneworkers are -not
good, according to the outlook here. Sev
eral collieries have, been started, but
not one is working at anything like its
capacity. At each of. these mines, it is
admitted by the companies, .only about
100 men are at work, but the claim is
made that they are getting more every
day. The normal tonnage of these mines
during regular working time Is 1000 tons
per day, while at present they are turn
ing out about 300 tons.
While an average of 3000 tons of mined
coal is being dally prepared in the dis
trict, the average for 1900. when but 176
days were worked during the year, was
28.3SS tons per day.
More Troops .nt Shenandoah.
SHENANDOAH. Pa.. Aug. 28. The
Second Philadelphia City Troop, number
ing about 60 men., arrived this morning,
and went into camp at Indian Ridge, on
the site vacated last night, by the Gov
ernor's Troop.

LONDON, Aug. 2S. At a meeting to
day of the council of the South Wales

the .United States.
GOLDBEATERS' STRIKE EXDED.
Compromise Reached and Men Will
Return to Work Today.
BOSTON, Aug. 2S. The general strike of
the goldbeaters of the United States,
which began about five weeks ago. was
declared off today by President Lambert,
of the Goldbeaters' International Union.
The strikers will return to work tomorrow
in all the cities affected by the movement.
The strike was ended by a compromise.
In many of the cities where the Gold
beaters' Union has Jurisdiction, with the
exception of Boston, the men demanded
that women and girls be no longer era
ployed In the trade, and in all the cities
the union demanded that a price of 8
cents per pack should be paid for all
packing. The price for this work had run
from 4 to 5& cents per pack. The em
ployers offered to pay the goldbeaters 7
cents per pack and this compromise has
been accepted by the union.
Santa Fe Difficulties Settled.
TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 25. J. W. Kenrlck,
third vice-president of the Santa Fe. offi
cially inspected the shops of that road
nero tnls afternoon. Mr. KenrlcK ex

conditions. All labor difficulties have been
settled.
FUSION IN NEVADA.
Jfevrlands Nominated for Senator
and Sparks for Governor.
RENO. Nev., Aug. 2S. The Democratic
Convention today made nominations as
follows: F. G. Newlands, Senator: C. D.
Van Duser. Congressman: John Sparks,
Governor: James G. Sweeney, of Ormsby,
Attorney-General; John Edwards Bray,
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
W. W. Booher, short-term Regent of the
University. William Woodman was nom
inated for Judge of the First Judicial Dis
trict: B. F: Currier for the Second; Peter
Ereen, of Eureka, for the Third; George
Brown, of Elko, for the Fourth, and M.
S. Bonniefield, Jr., of Humboiat, for the
Fifth.
The Silver party nominated Lemuel Al
len, of Churchill. Lieutenant-Governor; G.
F. Talbot, of Elko, Supreme Judge; Eu
gene Howell,. Secretary of State; Dave
Ryan, Treasurer; E. D. Kelley, Surveyor
General. C. E. Mack, of Storey, was giv
en the nomination of long-term Regent of
the University.
This practically completes the labor of
both conventions, and all that remains to
be done is for them to meet in Joint con
vention and ratify the nominations made.
The fight for Unltpd States Senator prom
ises to be a hardfought battle between
the Republican and fusion parties. Hon.
Thomas P. Havley Is a strong man. He
has been a resident of Nevada for 40
years, and has occupied many places of
trust and honor. The major part of his
life has been on the judicial bench, and
for 15 or 20 years he has been United
States Judge for the District of Nevada.
F. G. Newlands has been a resident of
this state for about 12 years, 10 of which
has been spent in serving the people of
the commonwealth in Congress. Two
years ago Newlands announced that he
ould be a candidate for the United
States Senate. It is to be a pretty fight.
and both the Republicans and f uslonlsts
claim to hold the top hand. The Republi
can party has beon cutting down Silver
party majorities at every clectjon since
the silver craze has been rampant, and
they say the red ink will be on their side
of the ledger after the votes are counted.
Hon. A. C. Cleveland, of White Pine.
will probably be pitted against John
Sparks, the Democrat nominated today
for Governor. They both are strong men.
Cleveland has had much more experience
in politics than has Mr. Sparks.

carnate of those who won th.e victory In
the Civil War was the true representa

generation, but for all time, because he
was a man among men, a man who em
bodied the qualities of his fellowman, but
who embodied them to the highest and
the most unusual degree of perfection,
who embodied all that was In the Nation
of courage, of wisdom, of gentle, patient
kindliness and of common sense. And
great, sad, patient Lincoln led us to
victor from 'CI to '63. because he did not
trust to any mere trick or device, because
he drove deep down to the heart of
thousands and based his reliance on the
fundamental virtues of mankind, the old,
old virtues of mankind.
"That is the spirit we have to show in
facing the problems of today. If we
approach them In such a style of envy
and malice toward our fellows, we wl'.l
not only fall, but we will drag them and
us to common ruin. Shame to us. If we
blink at the evils. Face the problem and
then approach It In a spirit not of de
termination to solve it but of hearty
desire to solve It with justice to all, malice
to none."
At the conclusion of his remarks, the
President drove to the station, where ho
took the train for Newbury, at which

TRUSTS AND MONROEIS3I.
British Papers Discuss Roosevelt's
Strnffjjle With Party Lenders.
LONDON. Aug. 28. President Roose
velt's declaration on trusts and tho Mon
roe Doctrine are both subjects of exten
sive comments in the London press this
nr ornlng. Dlscuss-Ion of the former matter
centers less upon the intrinsic merits of
the trust question than upon the outcome
of the President's struggle with the party
leaders. All the newspapers express adml
tatlop of President Roosevelt's courage
and boldness, but hesitate to predict the
result
The L'ally News says:
"Many chances arc on Mr. Roosevelt's
side. St. George goes out to meet the
dragon and the -wishes of the whole world
will be with him In his fight"
The Dally Telegraph expresses the opin
ion that the trust question will prove to
be the most epoch-making issue Jn Ameri
can politics ' since Bryan's schism on sil
ver. md says there Is absolutely no dis
cernible limit to the vista of the politi
cal convulsions, vicissitudes and divisions
which may be the outcome thereof.
The Morning Post and the Daily Chron
icle both admit that Great Britain has no
cause to cavil at what they characterize
as "President Roosevelt's modified Inter
pretation of Monroeism." which, plainly
stated, they declare to be a sanctlfication
of the status quo on the American Conti
nent and which the Post says means that
British possessions In - the Americas aro
to be secured by what is practically a
United States guarantee.
The Chronicle thinks the matter wears
a different aspect to the Continental pow
ers, who see In South America the last
and most tempting field for colonization
and for new markets. This paper doubts,
however, whether any power will risk tho
tremendous chances of war with the Unit
ed States, be the prize ever so seductive.
"One thin? seems clear," says the Chron
icle. "If Monroeism Is ever seriously chal-len-ed
it will be soon. The United States
appears to realize this, and is building a
fleet to defend the doctrine."
The Times says it believes that Presi
dent Roosevelt has reasserted Mon
roeism In a moro distinct and definite
form than It has been presented to the
world by any person with authority to
speak on the subject since the policy ol
the doctrine came into being, and says:
"As Monroeism Is defined by President
Roosevelt In strict conformity Indeed with
Its orisinal conception and objects. It Is a
policy to which Great Britain ha3 nothing
to take exception and which we have no
Interest In obstructing, and at the same
time we have no reason to object to the
protest of tho United States against the
acquisition of new territorial rights In
North or South America by any of tho Eu
ropean powers.

Mining a Weak Spot.
NEW LONDON. Conn.. Aug. 2S. To
morrow night the first real move In the
game of war between the Army and
Nnvy will be made. Gardener's Point
has been considered a weak spot by the
Army men and one likely -to be attacked
by the Navy. There Is no fort at that
olnt and It .Is only guarded by two dis
mounted guns.
The submarine mine boat Dime Is dart
ing about In that vicinity, which leads to
the belief that the passage of the North
Atlantic squadron will be Interrupted by
mines. Colonel Davis, commanding the
New London district with headquarters
at Fort Wright. Fisher's Island, and
Major-General MacArthur. with other
officers of high rank in the Army, spent
most of the day in consultation.
USE OF OIL FUEL.
Satisfactory Data Received by the
Navy Department.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. Although the
official report of Lieutenant Wlnchell, who
was detailed to accompany the oll-burnlng
steamer Mariposa on her recent trip from
San Francisco to the Society Islands and
return, for the purpose of making a com
prehensive report upon every feature of
the oll-burnlng devices used by that
steamer, has not yet reached the Navy
Department, unofficial data has arrived
which is considered very satisfactory to
those interested. The run from San Fran
cisco is 34SS knots. It was made by the
Marlpcsa at the rate of 13.12 knots per
hour, the whole run lasting 11 days, during
which a little over 400 tons of oil were
consumed. The number of pounds of oil
per knot U3td on the run was 2S0.9. which
Is equivalent to 8.5S knots per ton of oil.
it required 1.61 pounds of oil per hour to
develop one horsepower. This Is consid
ered quite satisfactory, as under ordinary
Usea-golng conditions It requires between
2b and 3 pounds of coal to develop one
horsepower.

CHELSEA'S PHYSIC GARDEN
Botanical Garden in London, Where
Useful Plants Are liaised.'
St James's Gazette.
How many people, we wonder, even
among Londoners, born and bred, are as
much as aware of the existence of the
"Chelsea Physic Garden," nnd how many
of those who know the place have any
know'edge of Its Interesting history? At
the present moment special interest cen
ters round this fine garden within a grim
Iron railing facing the river on the Chel
sea embankment, from the fact that it
enters on a new period of Its career.
The Physic garden of Chelsea has never
been open ,to the public, and few persons,
therefore, have any Idea how capacious are
the dimensions of this open space in one
of the most populous districts of London,
cr what a wealth of trees, shrubs and
plants It contains. There Is a cedar there
more than 200 years old, the last sun-Ivor
of four that were planted In the year 16S3.
near the river's bank. The history of
the garden Is connected with two men,
whose names are recorded In the street
nomenclature of Chelsea and its neigh
borhood. Cheyne Row, famous In modern
times as the home of Thomas Carlyle,
and Cheyne Walk, where many men dis
tinguished In politics, art and literature
have lived, are the monument of Mr.
Charles Cheyne. who in 1573 granted a
lease for 61 years of the site of the Physic
garden to the Anothecaries Society at an
annual rent of 5. In the following year
the wall around the garden was built, and
by 1676 the garden Itself was In existence,
as Is proved by the records of the society.
As a botanical garden It has acquired
sufficient reputation as early as 16S2 to
to attract the professor of botany of Ley
den University, who visited It in hat year
and proposed an exchange of seed and
plants the first Instance probably of a
system of such exchanges which now pre
vails among the botanical collections of
oil the vrorld. In the present year the
curator of the Physic garden has received
seeds from 34 other botanical gardens In
Europe and America.
In 1637 an extension of the lease of the
garden for -a further period of 60 years
was obtained from Lord Cheyne. as the
lessor had then become. But early In he
ISth century the ownership of the manor
of "Chelsea passed from the Cheyne family
to the second of the famous men referred
to above, namely Dr. Hans Sloane, whose
memory is kept alive, if not green, by

FOURTH AND WASHINGTON STS.
Sloane street and Hans Place. This fa
mous physician was born in Ireland In
the year, of the Restoration, and studied
medicine in London, Paris and Montpoller.
where he began to collect plants, to which
he added many tropical specimens when
he visited Jamaica In ItiST. Two yean
earlier he had become a fellow of the
Royal Society, of which he was president
In 1727, In succession to Sir Isaac Newton.
Dr. Hans Sloane was made physician to
George I, and was created a baronet. He
died in 1753. at the ripe age of 93, when
jhls library and collections were purchased
by the nat'on for 20.000. and became the
foundation of the Brittsn Museum. One of
his daughters married Charles, second
Baron Cadogan, a union which led to the
manor of Chelsea being now the property
of the Viceroy of Ireland, who today opens
the garden, which his famous ancestor
conveyed to the Apothecaries' Society In
1722.
The deed which placed the society In
possession of the Physic garden subject
to rent charge of 5. payable to the heirs
o? SI- Hans Sloane. Is a quaintly worded
document. It states that the transfer
was "to the end that the garden might be
continued as a physic garden, and for
enabling the society te maintain the gar
den for the manifestation of the power,
wisdom and glory of God in the works of
creation: and that the apprentices of the
society and others might better distinguish
good and useful plants from those that
bear resemblance to them, and yet are
hurtful." It was made a condition of the
grant that the Apothecaries' Society
should yearly render to the Royal Soclety
"50 specimens of distinct plants well dried
and preserved, which had grpwn in the
garden that year" a condition that was
oB-served throughout the ISth century.
Throughout the ISth century the Physic
garden, under the care of the Apothe
caries' Society, well served the purpose
for which It was established. In 173i
considerable sums wore spent In erecting
glass houses, and In tho following year
the monument to Sir Hans Sloane. bv
Michael Rysbrnch. which now stands In
the garden, was placed there by the so
ciety In gratitude to tho great benefactor.
It was In the same year that the Physic
garden was honored by a visit of the Illus
trious Linnaeus, who records In his dlary
that he had been permitted to collect many
plants there.
But with the development of modern
medicine In the 19th century the useful
ness of the Chelsea Physic garden for Its
original putpo.se' began to decline, and the
Apothecaries' Society a few years ago ap
plied to the Charity Commtesloncrs for a
scheme enabling them to relinquish the
trust. It was suggested that the garden
.might be maintained for the future by the
treasury for the benefit of the students ot
the Royal College of Science, at South
Kensington: and after Inquiry into the
matter, which sat lulled the treasury that
the garden was still suitable for botanical
collections, an arrangement was come to
with the trustees o the London Parochial
Charities, wno agreed to provide 800 per
annum, while the treasury should ir.d
150. The trustees of the London Par
ochial Charities were appointed trustees
of tho garden, which Is to be managed by
u con mittee consisting of representatives
of a number of bodies interested In the
scheme. This managing committee has
now put the garden into thorough order
and has erected at a cost of CC00 the
buildines to be opened by Lord Cadogan.
Now that It Is under the control of such
a body as the London Parochial Charities.
It is to be hoped that the public will have
more opportunities than they have ever
had during the last 200 years of becoming
familiar with the beauties of this historic
garden.
