SEVEN INDICTMENTS.
Grand Jury Return* True Hill* In*
volvint? Six Per*on*.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-After de
liberating for several weeks over a
mass of documents submitted by tin
post office inspectors the federal grand
jury has returned seven indictments iri
postal cases involving six different per
sons. All the indictments were kept oft
the public record, and both the officials
of the District attorney’s office and of
the post office department refused to
divulge names or details of the indict
ments until the parties Indicted are ar
rested. The identity of the indicted
Individuals thus was left a matter of
conjecture.
It is expected tliat arrests will be
made today and that the post office de
partment will then have some an
nouncement to make. The grand jury’s
action probably marks the beginning of
the end of the investigation that has
been in progress since the middle of
Fast March.
Postmaster General Payne and Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
received word of the grand jury’s ac
tion, but both officials refused to di
vulge details pending official notifica
tion of arrests.
Leopold Stern, the Baltimore con
tractor, who disappeared from Balti
more before he could be arrested, has
been located at Toronto. George W.
Beavers, the former head of the salary
and allowance division, has surrendered
himself to the New York authorities.

Will Cook is the latest recruit to the
small band of laborers actually in
Parliament. Born of working-class
parents, he is just turned fifty. Work
ing as a cooper, he is among the first
labor members returned to the London
County Council in 1892. A leader also
of the great dock strike, he lias lived
and worked all his life amongst the
East End workers, and has now been
sent to Parliament for Wolwich by the
unanimous vote of the over-worked,
under-paid laborers, of Woolwich
arsenal.
Labor disputes at Hammond, Ind.,
in the future will be settled by arbi
tration when an agreement between
the employers and employes cannot be
reached, and strikes and lockouts will
be a thing of the past. A Board of
Arbitration has been selected, which
is made up of the Business Men’s
Association, the manufacturers .and
trade unions. They will have equal
representation, and a fifth member is
to be chosen by the board in case of a
tie vote.
In the history of strikes, that of the
villagers of Arnold, Daybrook and
Redhill in Notts, England, who have
won’out on strike against a rise in the
price of beer, rum and gin, has cer

SANDUSKY. O.. Sept. 9.—The fish

had gone down with over a hundred
passengers in the big storm on Lake
Erie, arrived here safely from Leam
ington. Out. The Louise started from
here for Leamington, carrying a base
ball club and 100 excursionists.
Rough weather was encountered just
outside the harbor, but Captain Do
('lute decided not to turn back. The
boat plowed through seas that had her
decks awash half the time, and every
body on board was sick. Leamington
was finally reached at noon. At (1
o’clock the party started on the return
trip in even a rougher sea than was en
countered on the way over.
After a struggle with the waves the
Louise got into the lee of 1 Vice island,
where she lay several hours. Then she
started across the lake for Sandusky in
a more moderate wind, lull still a
heavy sea. She arrived here with ev
erybody safe but sick.
Scores of the friends and relatives of
those on board the little vessel re
mained on the docks all night in the
greatest anxiety.

PARIS, S^pt. 9. The recent defeat

bled that a riot oeeurred at Beirut in
which seven Christians were killed and
several were wounded. Two houses oc
cupied by Christians were pillaged by

It was due to a shot fired by a Mussul

Cotton’s visit.
An official version of the Beirut af
fair says that Christians were the as
sailants. they liavfng tired upon four
.Mussulmans. A tight ensued, during
which Mussulmans and Christians went
to tiie assistance of their respective
compatriots.
This, says the report, compelled tiie
troops to intervene, and they succeed
ed in restoring order. Three soldiers
were wounded and one was killed,
while one Christian was killed and one
wounded.
The British consul at Beirut immedi
ately after the riot called upon the vali
and threatened to ask Rear Admiral
Cotton to land marines from the Amer
ican squadron in tiie event of a renew
al of tiie disturbances.
In official circles here the disturb
ances are attributed to the arrival of
the American squadron, and the belief
is expressed that file Christians at Bei
rut are endeavoring to tiring about tbe
landing of marines from the war ships.
A detailed report regarding the re
cent attack on I'nited States Vice Con
sul Magelssen says Mr. Magelssen was
riding home in a hired carriage in the
evening when on passing a street neat
miles from Beirut, on which stand the
buildings of the American mission, he
heard sounds of pistol tiring. He turn
ed round to see from whence the shots
came, aud a bullet whizzed past his
face. The vice consul at once had the
carriage stopped and jumped out to dis
cover his assailant, but could see no
one.
