The dictum that, while civilised man

DRIVEN OUT BY GAS.
Mi— mm Raacftor Mountain Hmvo a Kar
raw Recap* from Snffocgtloa
Aspen. Colo.. Nov. 27.—Smuggler
mountain is in trouble again, and from
present indications all the miners In
the Cowenhoven tunnel, Delhi 8., John
son, Park-Regent. Bushwhacker, Min
eral Farm and Alta Argent will be
driven out by the deadly gases from
the Are that is still smouldering in the
big stope of the Smuggler mine. When
the men were driven out before, the
connections between the burning mine
and the Della 8., through which the
gas escapes Into the Johnson and Cow
enhoven tunnel, had not been closed.
As soon as these connections were
bulkheaded but little trouble was ex
perienced in reclaiming the properties,
and many believed that the gaa ques
tion waa not as serions as at first an
ticipated. Others, however, advanced
the theory that the ease with which
the adjoining properties were re
claimed was caused by the draught be
ing In a favorable direction, and that
as soon as it changed the men would
be driven out and the trouble would
become as serious as ever.
This latter theory has proven the
correct one, and to-night the gas is
finding its way into the lower work
ings of the Della 8. in great volume.
All the Della 8. and Johnson men were
compelled to drop their tools and flee
for their lives aliout 4 o’clock this af
ternoon. The gas is rapidly increasing
in the Cowenhoven tunnel, and it is
expected that the men will have to
come out before morning.
The Bushwhacker and Park-Regent
men were working at 5 o’clock, but as
these properties are situated over a
mile from the seat of the trouble they
may not be affected before some time
to-morrow morning. It is believed,
however, by those working in the
Smuggler mountain properties that all
workings connected with and lying
above the Cowenhoven tunnel will
have to shut down until the draught
changes or the Smuggler fire is settled
for good and all. This means the
throwing out of some WOO miners for
an Indefinite period.
In the Smuggler conditions continue
to improve. The fire seems to be grad
ually decreasing and the amount of
gas being generated was up to this af
ternoon thought to lie too small in
amount to cause trouble. Work has
been resumed in the lead stope and ore
is being broken for the concentrator.
This mill will resume Monday morn
ing, and Manager Hallett stated this
morning that he expected to clear all
the workings In the mine the first of
the week. The new fire drift will be
completed by morning, and the work
of cutting through Into the stope will
be completed by 12 o'clock to-morrow
night. He is confident that he can
soon extinguish the fire when he gets
into the stope, which will be some
time Sunday morning.
WESTERN COLLEGE ATHLETICS
A Number of Decided Change* to Be Made
la the Bales.
Chicago, Nov. 27.—Representatives
of a number of the leading western
colleges met here to-day and it was de
cided to amend the athletic rales in
several particulars. The meeting was
preliminary in its nature, but there is
no doubt the changes suggested will be
carried out. They are as follows:
A four year limit for college athletes.
Preparatory students to be barred
from college athletics.
Games with outside colleges to be re
garded as “practice games.”
“Summer baseball nines” to lie dis
couraged.
Farther elimination of rough foot
ball.
The colleges which are party to the
agreement are Northwestern Universi
ty, Purdue University. University of
Chicago, University of Illinois, Univer
sity of Michigan, University of Minne
sota, University of Wisconsin.
It was decided no student can play
on a college football team unless he
has attended the college at least one
year.
The most important action taken was
the adoption of a resolution calling for
less brutality in football.
A committee of three is to be ap
pointed and this committee will change
the rules as they think best and report
the changes to the members of the con
ference.
A. A. Btagg, who was chairman of
the meeting. Is to be one of the com-'

COAL MINERS’S STRIKE ENDED.
Tw«ht Thousand Men Han Oon« Back to
Work la Northern Illinois.
Chicago, Not. 27.— The coal mining
strike in the northern Illinois district
ended yesterday. Twelve thousand
have gone back to work in the Coal
City, Braidwood, Carbon Hill. Spring
Valley, Lodi, Seatonville. Lasalle and
Oglesby field. One thousand men re
main out at Streator, the only point
where miners and operators have not
agreed. A settlement there is ex
pected within a week.
Victory Is with the miners, although
they have not won all they asked.
Their chief demand was for a “mine
run” price, that is, a rate per ton as
the coal comes from the mine, un
screened. Thlfi has been conceded In
some places. Where the rate remains
fixed In price per net ton of screened
coal a substantial advance has been
won. The Increase in wages all
through the district amounts, approx
imately, to 10 cents a, ton over the
schedule made last May.
The strike has been on since July 4.
It started as a part of the general
strike ordered by the United Mines
Workers of America. The Pennsylva
nia and Ohio miners settled their dif
ferences early In September. The In
diana work was resumed about the
same time. The 30,000 miners of Illi
nois refused to ratify the terms of the
agreement made at Columbus, Ohio;
and continued the strike.

A REMARKABLE ADDRESS.
Rural Vlaeeat Meiatirti of Mkaaarl
Praises the Soldiers of tka loath.
8t Loots, Mo., Nov. 27.—General Vin
cent Marmaduke of Sweet Springs.
Missouri, who was recently appointed
by the ex-Confederate veterans of Mis
souri as chairman of a committee to
write an authentic history of the part
Missouri and Missourians took In the
Civil war, to-day issued a remarkable
address.
It was addressed to the ex-Confed
erates of Missouri, and said in part:
“The honor and glory of this grenl
struggle was with the Smith, and
southern soldiers ought iu justice to
themselves and their dead comrades to
preserve the memory of it.
“While the North and northern sol
diers are Inveighing against all mani
festations of sectional feeling, they are
erecting monuments to their successful
leaders and telling the story very much
to their credit and to onr detriment.
“The North had more than four sol
diers to one in the Boutli. Its armies
were reinforced and assisted by COO
ships of war, manned by 35.000 sailors.
It had unlimited credit, which meant
an unlimited supply of money. It had
factories to manufacture everything
needed to arm and equip— to supply
and maintain its armies and fleets. It
had railroads running in every direc
tion for the transportation of its troops.
It had intercourse with the whole
world and could draw recruits for its
army and navy from the whole world.
The South had none of these advant
ages. or had them only to a limited ex
tent. But. notwithstanding all its ad
vantages, it took the North four years
to crash the South, and then It did it
by a grinding process and without hav
ing gained a single decisive victory."
BECAUSE HE IS A SILVER MAN
Robert LlndMom Is Refused Admission to
the New York Stock Eiekssfc.
Chicago, 111., Nov. 27.—Because he is
a silver man, Robert Lindblom has
been turned down by the New York
Stock Exchange. He applied to the
governing committee of that exchange
a fortnight ago, and that body has
ignored him. not even calling him to
New York for the usual examination.
Llndblom’s sliver heresies counted
against him. He has more money than
many of those who hold seats on the
New York exchange. There is nothing
against his credit. He is supposed to
be worth $250,000, and has been a
prominent figure in grain speculation
circles for many years. Lindblom is
not going to penult the matter to pass
unnoticed. “The New York Stock Ex
change,” he said last night, “has not
heard the last of ray application. It
will have to go on record. If It has any
objection to uie other than the fact
that I am a silver man. it will have to
declare that objection, and - If It re
fuses to admit me because I am a sil
ver man the world will know It."
Those who were discussing the mat
ter on the Board of Trade yesterday
took the ground that it was a little
peculiar for any great exchange to
take into account a man’s political
theories In deciding as to whether or
not he would be eligible to member
ship.
MURPHY AND HILL.
Croker Soys the Former Leeds the Um
pire State Democracy.
New York, Nov. 26.—Nothing has so
shaken up politicians here for a long
time as a declaration of Croker last
night regarding Senator Murphy, a
state leader of the Democratic party.
“Murphy is a leader of the Empire
state Democracy, and is worthy to be,”
said Croker. “I have no quarrel with
Hill,” he added. “I would do him a
good turn to-morrow if I could.”
Croker is admittedly the most power
ful local lender in the state and his re
pudiation of Hill has thrown the ex
senator’s friends into a panic. Their
carefully laid plans for Hill’s return to
public life are knocked endwise. They
cannot say to-day whether Hill will re
main in retirement or come out and
fight Mnrphy and Croker.
Murphy supported Bryan, while Hill
did not. Murphy has lately been active
while Hill has been quiet, and Murphy
has prestige, being the senior United
States senator from New York until
1899.
The first result of the Croker-Mnr
phy political alliance is a statement
made to-day that former Mayor H. J.
Grant will be the next Democratic
candidate for governor of the state of
New York.
The Canal Commission.
Washington, Nov. 26.—The Nicara
gua canal commission, of which Ad
miral Walker is the chairman, has
sailed for Grey town upon the gunboat
Newport. The expedition is to be gone
all winter, and its purpose is to verify
former surveys and estimates which
have been very much at variance. The
Ludlow commission, which was sent
down two years ago. upset all the cal
culations previously made and fur
nished the opponents of the canal with
plenty of arguments to resist the legis
lation asked from Congress. It even
threw donbt upon the practicability of
the scheme and made the most of ev
ery obstacle that existed to the con
struction of the canal. The present
commission is composed of men with
out prejudice, whose character and rep
utation will give their judgment great
weight, and is expected to confirm or
reject the conclusions of the Ludlow
party and furnish Congress an accurate
estimate of the cost of the work and
the comparative advantages of the sev
eral routes that have been proposed.
Senator Stewart's Re-Election.
San Francisco, Cal., * Nov. 27.—The

GERMANY’S DEMANDS.
IMPOSING ON THE CHINESE.
Evidently She Intends to Hold Chinese
Territory ns the Price of Refasnl This
Will Lead to Trouble With the Power*.
Loudon. Nov. 27.—A special dispatch
received here to-day from Shanghai
Kap that Baron von Heyklng, the Ger
man minister to China, has presented
to the Chinese government the de
mands of Germany for reparation for
the recent murder of German mission
aries and the cleat ruction of German
mission property. These demands in
clude the execution of the murderers
of Nies and Henley, the punishment of
the implicated officials, the reconstruc
tion of the mission building, the pay
ment of an indemnity of 600,000 taels
to the relatives of the victims, and also
the payment of a heavy indemnity to
cover the exi>enses of the German
naval expedition and fhe maintenance
of tlie German force at Kiao Chou. The
Chinese government replied that Kiao
Chou ba.vßnust lie vacated before the
demands can be discussed.
Baron von Hey king refused to con
sent to this, and a deadlock was the
result.
The foreign diplomats, the special
dispatches further annonce. say that
the German conditions are impossible
of acceptance, and they assert that
they were only presented to enable
Germany to retain Kiao Chou bay and
to extend northward her occupation of
Chinese territory.
II is reported that Chang Koian. the
Chinese general who was iu command
of the fortifications at Kiao Chou bay
aud who surrendered to the Germans
without firing a shot, has been con
demned to death by the Chinese war
council. The viceroys of Canton. Foo
Chow and Nanking are trying to pot
the coast defenses In a proper state of
repair, with the view of preventing fu
ture seizures of Chinese territory.
St. Petersburg. Nov. 27.—The No

SCRAPPING AUSTRIANS.
The Legislators Have Thrown Derancy to
•he Wind*.
Vienna, Nov. 27.—The disorder in the
lower house of the Keichsrath was so
accentuated to-day that a strong de
tachment of police had to be called in
to preserve order.
When the president of the bouse, Dr.
Abrahnmovics, entered he was greeted
with vociferous shouts of “get out.”
The Leftists rose to their feet in a
body, many of the deputies shrieked
wildly and an indescribable tumult fol
lowed.
During the tumult a Hocial Demo
crat, Herr Berner, made a rush for the
president, and a lively fist fight fol
lowed between Berner and the house
attendants, who attempted to protect
the chair. Thereupon another Social
Democrat, Herr Reael. jumped upon
the ministerial bench and, hurrying to
the presidential cliair, seised the pa
pers which were lying on the presi
dent's desk and tore them to pieces,
while other Social Democrats hastened
to Herr Berner’s assistance, occupied
the tribunal and demanded satisfaction
for fhe attendants' pummellng of Herr
Berner. President Abraliamovics was
compelled to flee. Sulmequently the
Social Democrats and deputi«»s in
dulged in a free fight and Herr Berner
was ejected from the house.
In the meantime a detachment of ten
|M)lice arrived in the house, and the
officer in command called upon the
Social Democrats to withdraw from
the presidential platform. They, how
ever, refused to withdraw, and resisted
the attempts of the police to eject
them. They were eventually removed
forcibly and singly. The police then
made a cordon around the tribunal.
These scenes were enacted prior to the
formal opening of the house. While
the deputies were fighting and howling
on the floor of the house a tumult arose
in the second gallery which the attend
ants promptly cleared. The authori
ties then caused all the lobbies of the
house to be filled with police, the gates
were closed and the building was
guarded by a strong police force.
The session of the house in the mean
while was suspended.
IS INDEPTNDENCE OR DEATH.
Cubans Will Accept Nothing Which Means
Spanish Sovprcljtntv Over the Island.
New York. Nov. 27.—The Cuban con
stituent assembly, which met recently
at Camaguey to remodel the constitu
tion and elected a new president, is
sued a manifesto which reached the
office of the Cuban junta in this city
to-day. The document is dated Lay
aya. October 3f). 1897. and is signed by
Domingo Meudez Capote, ns president
of the assembly. The manifesto is ad
dressed by “The representatives of the
Cuban people, to all those who have
the independence and future welfare
of Cuba at heart.”
The document says that the assem
bly before adjourning deemed it its
duty to proclaim, among other things,
that:
No special laws, no special reform or
autonomy, nothing in short, that the
Spanish government may be willing to
grant that means Spanish sovereignty
over Cuba shall lie accepted by the
Cubans as a settlement of the war.
Independence or death is and shall
be the unalterable and sacred motto
of the Cnbans.
The Cubaus have not resorted to
arms In order to obtain any political
measures, which do not, once and for
all, solve the Cuban question. That is
the reason we will accept nothing short
of absolute independence.
It Is our purpose to constitute an In
dependent state, orderly, prosperous
and happy, over the rains of worn-out
colony.
We are firmly determined to carry
on the war until victory or death
crowns onr efforts.
Says Hawaii Will Be Annexed.
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 27.—Senator C.
K. Davis leaves next Tuesday for
Washington. Senator Davis said to a
reporter' to-day that immediately on
the convening of Congress he would
move for the adoption of the Hawaiian
annexation treaty. He is very confi
dent that It will be adopted, although
he has not made any canvass among
the senators tojearn their sentiments
Ui the matter.
Mr. PftTto too* tteopiuiuuuwt uw
majority of the people favor annexa
tion, and he Is enthusiastic over the
great importance of sura a possession
to this country. He characterizes as
absurd the statements of certain
American newspapers which ©PPp 8 ®
the annexation on the grounds that
only 5 per cent, of the people of Ha
waii desire it, and that such a move
would be but a perpetuation of the
crime of this government in deposing
the former Hawaiian government.
CONFLICT IN AFRICA.
■won of • right BMwmh tbs rrmth
mf-A se«yitoh.
Berlin, Nov. 27.—A dispatch to the
Frankfort Zeitung from Rome reports ,
that a sanguinary conflict has taken i
place between the French and British
at Nikki, In'the Lagos Hinterland.
London. Nov. 27.—While the accu
racy of the statement contained in the ,
Rome dispatch to the Frankfort Zelt- J
ung announcing that a conflict has «
taken place between the French and
British troops in the Lagos Hinterland
is doubted, the London morning pa
pers to-day pointed out the imminent
danger resulting from the proximity
of the two forces in the contested ter
ritory.
Later in the day a rumor was re
ceived at the British colonial office to
the effect that there had been a col
lision between the British and French
forces at Nikki, which is said to have
been captured by French troops.
The officials of the colonial office,
however, regard this report as highly
Improbable, as, they explain, the Brit
ish police iu the Hinterland, who are
in very limited numbers, had strict
orders to avoid any collision with the
French. It is also understood that the
French forces had been instructed
not to come into conflict with the Brit
ish. The British forces in the Hinter
land, It is further stated, are being re
inforced considerably.
The colonial office late this evening
received a cable message from Lagos,
west coast of Africa, stating that a
rumor Is current among the natives
there of a collision between 400 British
and French troops. The report, it is
lielieved, will prove to be founded on
a conflict between the French and
some natives.
Both countries have been hurrying
troops into the disputed territory. The
trouble is of about thirty years’ stand
ing. In 1870 France and Great Brit
ain opened negotiations for the settle
ment of their respective frontiers in
West Africa, and it was decided, in
substance, that French influence and
authority should be confined to the
north of a certain line and that Great
Britain should have a free hand south
of this line. The outbreak of the
Franco-Prussian war interrupted these
negotiations. There was considerable
opposition in both countries to the ces
sion of any territory, aud during the
next five years difficulties frequently
occurred.. Finally, It was resolved to
appoint commissioners to reconsider
the whole matter, and, as a result, in
the course of the next ten years four
separate agreements were concluded.
But since these agreements were ar
rived at further difficulties have arisen,
owing to the failure of the boundary
commissioners of Great Britain anil
France to agree among themselves as
to the frontier lines. Since then both
parties have turned their attention to
getting treaty concessions from the na
tive chiefs. The Ffpuch have been
aiming at the establishment of a great
African empire, and dispatched expe
ditions to the Hinterland of Legos and
Caruotvllle to establish headquarters.
The British Niger t'ompany. how
ever. getting wind of the French plans,
dispatched Captain Lugard to Nikki,
the capital of Pargua, for the purpose
of negotiating a treaty with the native
ruler, and the English ruler was for
tunate enougli to reach there before a
French officer. Comniundant de Cou
eur, who was Ikhhml for the same
place, and with the same intention, al
though the latter had the start aud
Lugard secured his treaty and carried
it away three weeks before De Coueur
arrived at Nikki.
The French, however, seemed to
have chosen to disregard this fact and
have dispatched armed expeditions not
only to Nikki, but to Broussa. which
has all along been accredited to lie
within the sphere of British influence.
To settle these and other questions in
dispute, commissioners representing
Great Britain and France are now
tardily beginning to deliberate in
Paris.
THE ROTHSCHILDS IN ALASKA.
They Will BaUd a Number of Steamers and
Barges for tbo Yukon.
San Francisco, Nov. 27.—The Roths
childs, through the San Francisco
house of Liebes Sc Co., are about to en
ter the Alaskan trade.
Four fdearners are beiug built in sec
tions by W. H. Bryck & Co., the own
ers of the California machine works
When this contract is fulfilled the ma
chinery and timbers will be sent to
Dutch harbor, near Unalaska, to be set
up. The firm will then build nine
barges in sections to follow the ma
terial for steamboat building, and the
1 targes will likewise be pot together
at Dutch harbor.
All of this work is being done for the
Alaska Exploration Company, which
was incorporated about four months
ago with a capital of $1,000,000.
Isaac Liebes, in speaking of this pro
ject, said that it is proposed to have
the steamers and barges ready for bus
iness when the Ice breaks In the Yu
kon in June. He said that the Roths
childs are interested in the venture
which was arranged in London five
months ago, and there is practically
unlimited capital behind it. Besides
doing a general transportation busi
