ST. LOUIS , June 30. A special to the
PtatDlspatch from Marlon , 111. , eays : At
10 o'clock today as the train on the branch
of the Illinois Central runnlne from Cape
Ulrardeau to Johnston -City , carrylne a
coach load of negroes from Pana to Brush's
mine , one mile north of Cartervllle. stopped
at the 1'Vertonla mine , three miles northwest
of Cartervllle , a large number of striking
union miners opened fire on the negroes ,
killing one woman and wounding about
twenty others Before the bloody work
could be carried further the train pulled
out for 'ohnston City.
When It reached a point one mile north
of finish's mine the negroes were unloaded
and marched across the country to their
destination. It Is said that a majority of
the rlutois weie negroes whom Brush
bi ought here from the south about a year
ago and have since joined the union.
The latest news from Cartervllfe says
there la great excitement In the neighborhood
of the Brush mine and a battle between the
working negroes , who are well armed , and
the strikers , who are on the ground ready
for n fight , may be precipitated at any mo
ment Superintendent Brush wired for Sher
iff Gray Immediately after the riot , asking
for protection. The sheriff has gone to the
ncene. but ho took no deputies with htm. He
has no guns to arm them.
A majority of Brush's miners have been
on a strike for a month , though many of his
Imported negroes have remained loyal to I
him. The trouble Is the same old one , a I
question of wages Had not trouble been !

One Woman ! Killed.
iMURPHYSBORO , III. , June 30. At 9
o'clock this morning Conductor William
Bryan's train on the Johnson City branch
of the Illinois Central , bearing forty-seven
negro miners from Pana , was shot Into by a
crowd of miners at Lawder , In Williamson
county. One negro woman was killed by a
bullet through her heart. The negroes were
brought by Sam T. Brush , superintendent of
the St. Louis and Big Muddy mines near
Cartervllle , to work In his minethere. .
The miners , fifty In number , -were armed
with rifles and were hidden In grass behind
the country depot. When the train started
the leader , who was an Italian , got on the
platform and commanded the negroes to get
out. Conductor Bryan Interfered , but was
stopped by a revolver In his face. The train
began to move and the miners poured In a
withering fire. Conductor Bryan yelled to
the negroes to throw themselves on the
floor. All escaped serious wounds save the
woman , who was killed Instantly. Half a
mlle farther on the negroes were unloaded
and placed in charge of guards. They were
then marched to the mine. Intense excite
ment prevails 1n the Cartervlllo coal fields ,
and bloody riots are expected , as the feeling
has been Intense for weeks.

June 30) ) . Peace
Samoa , In marked contrast to the warlike
scenes of two months agq. The arrival of
the auxiliary cruiser Badger on May 13 with
the International commission on board
caused a distinct change in affairs here. The
commission lost no time , but went to work
immediately , electing Mr. Trlpp chairman
and Mr. Morgan secretary. The commission
ers held Interviews first with King Tanu
and then with Mataafn. Tanu was not at
first recognized as king by the commission.
Tanu and his chiefs readily ngrcnd to give
up their arms and stated that they were pre
pared to accept any form of government the
commission might recommend , even If the
kingship was abolished.
The following day Mataafa and his party
came alongside the Badger , singing gongs
and flying the Samoan flag. The rebels were
ordered to take down the flag , which they
did. The commissioners explained to the
chief that they had come to make peace and
Mataafa said that he was tired of fighting ,
as were his chiefs. He said his party would
recognize any government fixed by the com
mission , but be hoped to have a king of
Samoa , as It wac an old established Institu
tion. Mataafa readily agreed to give up the
guns held by his party , but Insisted that as
the weapons were the private property of the
natives , they should receive compensation
for them. The commissioners Issued a
proclamation , stating that the guns would
either be returned or proper payment made
for them after all troubles had been settled.
This , of course , means that payment will bo
made , as It would be folly to return the
weapons.
Mataafa's party asked If they could be
represented by attorneys before the com-
mlcfilon , but their request was declined.
After the Mataafa men had turned in 1,500
rifles and the Tanu supporters 2 000 more ,
Tanu was Invited on board the Badger.
There he wan Informed that the commis
sioners supported the decision of Chief
Justice Chambers and that Tanu had been
king of Samoa ever since the decision had
been rendered. Tanu said that he was
i willing to do anything for the good ) of
Samoa , and at the request of the commis
sioners resigned his kingship to them.

sition and return to the United States , but
at the request of the commissioners has de
cided to remain.
Clnlnm for
Many claims have been lodged at the dif
ferent consulates for damages to property
during the last few months. While not em
powered to take any action on these claims
the commissioners agreed that real hardship
bad been suftcrcd and It is understood that
the commission will recommend that the
three powers each pay the losses caused to
Its own subjects.
On the evening of the queen's birthday
British representatives announced that
never , under any circumstances , would Great
Britain recognize Mataafa's claim to be the
king.
It Is stated that Baron Sternberg , the Ger
commissioner . , is fully convinced that
Consul nose acted wrongfully and Is respon
sible for the late outbreak. Consuls Rose
and Maxse are passengers on the steamer
Marlposa for San Francisco.
Some of the rebels , dissatisfied -with the
proclamation ptovldlng for.a provisional gov
ernment , have declined to give up their
rifles. Mataafa disclaims any responsibility
for this action and says it Is without bis
consent.

WOOD STAYS WITH THE ARMY
Drrllneit KillMerlliK Offer in CU II Life
Talk * of the Nod of
the CnlimiH.
WASHINGTON , Juno 30. General Leon
ard Wood has declined the presidency of the
Washington Traction and Electric company
of this city and will return early next week
to his post as military governor of the prov
ince of Santiago. The offer was a very flat
tering one , but General Wood , after consid
ering the matter for a week , decided to de
cline It. In view of tlie outbreak of yellow-
fever at Santiago ho decided that It was his
duty to return there at once.
Some time ago General Wood sought serv
ice In the Philippines , but It was then be
lieved , as It Is now , that his services could
not be spared in Cuba.
General Wood , In talking of the conditions
existing In Cuba , Bald that what the people
there needed wan good schools , good sanita
tion In tbo cities and the enforcement of
United States laws. General Wood says his
advices from Santiago are such as to con
vince him that there will be no serious
outbreak of yellow fever. He says there
has always been yellow fever there and In i
tome of the low dives It will be Impossible
to precnt-Infection , but he thinks It w/ill
not be serious , as the best of precautions
have been taken by the United States au
thorities.

WASHINGTON , June 30. The negotia
tions In London looking to the arrangement
of a modus Vivendi fixing the Alaskan
boundary have again nearly reached a
crisis. Thiso\eral conferences that have
taken place recently between Lord Salisbury
and Ambassador Cboate have been signally
disappointing In results. At moments It ap
peared that a basts of understanding hav
ing , as It was thought , been reached , the
details could be easily arranged , but It now ,
turns out that these very details cannot be i
agreed upon without the Hacrlfice of the In
terests of many American miners , mainly
those who were driven out of the Atlln dis
trict by the severe and discriminating laws
enacted by the legislature- British Colum
bia , and this the State department is deter
mined not to sanction.
The United States ambassador has come to
the end of the i-onretstoni be It authorized
to offer and therefore the prosgcvt of a EUC-

WASHINGTON , Juno SO. Afhlstant Sec
retary of War Melklejohn has received n re
port from Captain Edwin P. Glenn , Twenty-
fifth infantry , commanding the Cook Inlet
expedition , dated Tjoonook , Alaska , June 0 ,
1S99 , in which ho states that on June 4 he
started a detachment , consisting of seven
men , to Knlk station , properly supplied and
equipped with rations to October 31 next.
The instructions delivered to the men were
to proceed to Koglo City by the valley of
the Madanuaka river. They were to pro
ceed through such passes of the Alabkan
range. , of mountains as might prove most
practicable , and In case nbne were found
west of Melklejohn pass they were to go
through It. This pass , Captain Glenn thinks ,
can be easily reached from the- trail fol
lowed by himself during 'the hc.ihon of 1898.
Captain Glenn also reports that when the
detachment under charge of Lieutenant J.
S. Herron landed at Portage bay. in Prince
William sound , the snow had disappeared
to such an extent It was Impractlcablo to
make use of his dogs and sleds to any ad
vantage. On this account It proved Impos
sible to go through to Knlk station , papolng
the north nldo or Turnagaln nrm. The dogs ,
sleds and two men were loft In the cabin
built at Portage bay by Captain Glenn's
command during the last season , and ho
states that they will be brought to the main
camp at Tyoonook by the Urst boat that
puts In at that place.
It Is further stated by Captain Glenn that
the last winter was a very mild one , the
lowtHt temperature reported at Knlk sta
tion being 33 degrees below zero , yet the
spring baa been Into.

HOUSTON , Tex. , Juno SO. The remark
ably heavy rains In the last two days In
Texas have done damage which will omonint
to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hall-
road traffic Is suspended In south Texas be
cause of the numerous washouts und many
bridges are gone. Every stream in this
Hectlon of the state Is above high water mark
and the angry waters have destroyed thous
ands of acres of cotton , corn and cane , be
sides huuses and cattle.
At Calvert the rise was so sudden that
when the water went through the town sev
eral negroes were drowned and five bodies
have been recovered. It Is rumored that
many farmers , white and Colored , living In
the Brazes bottoms have been drowned , but
neither names nor reliable particulars are
jet obtainable.
The Big and Little Brazes rivers have
joined at Navasota , where they are ordi
narily three miles apart , and the -whole
country between , mostly cotton and corn
land , Is ruined. It Is reliably mated that
one family of elx persons perished. The
loss in cotton and corn alone will reach
J 1,000,000 , while another million will not
cover the loss to rallroadn and other prop
erty.

"There's nothing
half so sweet in life as
love's young dream. "
It was meant to be so when woman was
ordained man's
help
meet. But it was never
meant that love's dream
should have so sad an
awaking. H is due
chiefly to ignorance
that young women are
so rudely awakened
from the dream of love.
They enter on the mar
ried state without phys-
cal or mental prepara
tion. They are entirely
unaware of the great
physiological change
suggested by the one
word " "
marriage ,
Every young woman should be prepared
for that change. There should be no
neglect of irregularities. The perfect
health of the peculiarly womanly organs
bhould be the daily care. J > .
Thousands of women who entered - '
