ATLIN EXPLOSION SHAKES WARDNER Property Valued at ¥2 50,000 to ¥300,« OOO Destroyed—A Train at Burke Seized by a Mob of KOO or 1,000. Spokane, May 2.—A Wardner spe cial to the Spokesman-Review says: Wardner today has been the scene of the woist riots since the ealy labor war of 1892. One man is dead, another is thought to be mortally wounded, and property valued at $250,000 has been destoyed by giant powder and fire. The damage was done by union men and sympathizers from Canyon creek, about 20 miles from Wardner. This morning a mob of from 800 to 1,000 men, all of them armed and many of them masked, seized a train at Burke, at the bead of Canyon creek. There were nine box cars and a passen ger coach, and they were black with the mob. The visitors brought with them 3,000 pounds of giant powder. After a parley of two hours, 140 masked men armed with Winchesters, Burke in the lead and Wardner follow ing, started with yells for the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mil) and other build ings, a third of a mile from the depot. They sent pickets ahead, and one of these pickets tired a shot as a signal that the mill was abandoned. This was misunderstood by the main body of the mob, who imagined that non-union miners in the mills had opened fire on them, and they began tiring on their own pickets. About I, 000 shots were thus exchanged be tween the rioters and tiieir pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the pickets, for merly of British Columbia, and a noted figure in drill contests, was shot dead. The fatal error was discovered after a few seconds’ firing and Smith’s body brought down from the hillside. By this time the strikers had taken possession of the Bunker Hilll & Sulli van mill, which they found deserted, the manager having directed his em ployes not to risk their lives by battl ing witii tiie mob Powder was called for, and 60 50- pound Iroxes were carried from the depot to the mill. The heaviest charge was placed among the machinery of the mill. Another charge was placed under the brick office building. Other charges were piaced around the mill. Then the boarding-house, a ftaine structure,was tired. Fuses lead ing to the charges were lighted, and tiie strikers carrying the dead body of the picket, retired to a sale distance. At 2:36 P. M. the first blast went off. It shook the ground for miles, and buildings In Wardner, two miles away, trembled. At intervale of about 30 seconds four other charges went off, the filth being the largest and com pletely demolishing the mill. The loss to the Bunker Hill & Sullivan Company is estimated from $250,000 to $300,000. In a few minutes the strikers went back to the station, the whistle was blown for stragglers, the mob soon climbed aboard and at 3 o’clock, just three horns after its arrival, the train pulled out for Canyon creek. During the fusillade from the guns of the mob, Jim Cliayne, a Bunker Hill ."fc Sullivan millman, was severely shot through the hips. It >s reported that lie was carried off by the strikers, and his wound is probably fatal. J. J. Rogers, a stenographer in the em ploy of the company, was shot through the lip, but his wound is trivial. I.. M.

Manila, May 2.—The conference to day between General Otis and Colonel Manuel Argulezes arid Lieutenant Jose Bernal, who came from General Luna under a flag of truce vesterdav to ask for a cession of hostilities, was fruit less.

Washington, May 2.—To meet many demands for information as lo the status of American miners iu the gobi tields of the Atlin lake region, of Brit ish Columbia, the state department lias published a report from Consul Smith, at Victoria, embodying a copy of the placer mining det, passed by tiie legislative assembly of British Colum bia, January 18 last. This act pio- hibits the holding of claims by aliens, and its passage has done much to com plicate the settlement by negotiation of the issues over the boundaiy ques tion. The consul says tliat there has also been trouble since the discovery ol tiie Atlin lake gold fields over the loosely defined boundary between Brit ish Columbia and the Northwest terri tory. At tirst these fields were be lieved to be in the Northwest teiritory; now they are declared to be in British Columbia. The immediate result is that a number of American citizen» are to be dispossessed, although they hold their claims under certificates of the gold commissioner. Consul Smith includes in his report an interpretation of the laws in re gard to the holding of claims in United States teiritory. Tiiis was obtained by him upon application of Secretary Hitchcock, of the department of the inte.lor. In substance the secretary’s opinion is that the right to occupy and purchase mining claims within the United States is reserved exclusively to citizens and persons who have de clared intention, and this statement is not modified by the provision of the act of Mardi 2. 1897, which decíales that the act shall not be construed to pre vent aliens from acquiring and holding mining claims, and also the provision authorizing Canadian citizens to ac quire in Alaska the same rights en joyed by United States citizens in Brit ish Columbia and the Northwest terri tory. As to this latter section. Secre tary Hitchcock says it has been found i in practicable thus fat to promulgate or enforce any rules or regulations to give it effect, for the reason that While the Canadian law permits the leasing ot mineral land upon loyalty, the Unite«; States law has no such provision. There is, therefore, a conflict that can not be reconciled. Manila, May 3.—General MacAr- I thur has sent the officers of Genera) Antonio Luna, the Filipino com mander, under flag of truce, carrying money and provisions for American prisoners in his bands, anil asking an I exchange of prisoners, and'the names of such as he may have. It is reported that the insurgents have two officers and 16 otliers, and it ' is supposed that among these are Lieu tenant J. C. Gilmore and nine men of the United States gunboat Yorktown, who fell into the bands of the Filipi nos last month when the gunboat vis ited Baler, on the east coast of Luzon. Major Bell, with a squad of scouts, has captured the town of Macabebe, about four miles southwest of Calum- pit, the people ringing bells and shout ing “Vivas ” The Americans are now employing Macabebes instead of Chi nese, and they are delighted to get 50 cents a day, declaring their loyalty to Americans. Major-General Lawton is advancing. He lias organized a Ipurd of 40 scouts to go ahead of the column. The band, which is under William Young, an old Indian tighter who killed rive Filipinos last week, include Diamond, Harring ton, Somerfield and Murphy, of the Second Oregon regiment. fhe Strikers Demolish Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mill. LAKE Statue Their Necessity as a Base for American Trade. THE ONLY GATEWAY TO CHINA Recent A nglo-Rnaeian Agreement Futs the Matter in a New Idglit—Talk of Alliance With Japan. Washington, May 3.—The necespiry for holding the Philippines lias become greater than ever, in view of the Anglo- Russian agreement regaiding China. If the Unite«l States is to have any place in tire Eastern trade, it will need an important base like Manila and the rich islands of the Philippine archipel ago. This is conceded by all officials who have discussed the matter. If the United States should be shut out of the China trade, as some En glish journals seem to indicate, it will be a veiy serious setback to a large scheme which has been under contem plation in tiie United States. It was originated by Janies J. Hill, of the Gieat Northern railroad, and was for a market in China for an immense amount of surplus cereal products of New Peace Proposals. the United States.
