The condition of Prince Henri of

no important orguu was touched, but
absolute rest is necessary for recovery.
The duel grew out of certaiu criti-

officers and soldiers while prisouer of
the Emperor Menelik in Abyssinia.
These criticisms were published early
In July in the New York Herald and

NO STRIKE IN KANSAS.
Minors ami Operator* I’mctlcally Agree
on n Comproralac.
Pittsburg, Kan., Aug. 17. —At 2:30
yesterday morning, after being in ses-
sion all night in the parlors of the
Hotel Stilwell, tho miners and the op-
erators in conference came to a par-
tial agreement, the concessions made
being such as to agree for the speedy
settlement of all differences. The
meeting adjourned to meet to-day.
The agreement which is to be signed
then is an follows:
The miners are to receive 52 cents
for mine-run coal in the summer and
82>£ cents for screened coal. Fifty-
eight cents tor mine-run coal in the
winter and 97 cents for screened coal
per ton. Semi-monthly pay, com-
mencing with September 15. One
dollar and eighty cents for entry yard-
age and 10 cents per box for loading
dirt, and 82 per day for day hands. In
the agreement reached the miners
have gained a partial victory, and the
concessions made will undoubtedly
bring the disputes of the miners and
operators to a peaceful termination.

WiiillKOTOIf, Atig. 17. — Secretary
Gnge bn* just received from tho min-
ister of tho interior of Canada an offi-
cial report of tiiu Yukon mining din*
trict. At the out net the min inter
■tates that tho rooort is published in
response to numerous public ilciuiindii.
“The object,” he says. *is not to in-
duce anyone to go to that country at
tho present time. I’ntil better means
of criininunleation arc established u
man undertakes serious risks in going
thoro unless lie has sufficient resources
to tide him over the long winter.
After September egress from the
country is practically impossible,
until the following Juno, nnd
a person who hus not been
successful in locating a paying
claim has to depend for his subsistence
upon finding employment. Wages
are at times abnormally high, but the
labor market is very narrow and easi-
ly overstocked. It is estimated that
up to the middle of May 1,500 or 1,600
persons had crossed the Dyea this
year. Several hundred more will go
by steamers up the Yukon. Whether
employment will be available for all
and for the considerable population
already in the district, is somewhat
doubtful. It will, therefore, be wise
for those who contemplate going to
the Yukon district, to give serious
consideration to the matter before
coming to a deeision.
“An extract from the report of A. E.
Willis, assistant surgeon for 1395, is
given to indicate the climate of the
Klondike, characteristics of the in-
habitants and the mode of living. Ho
also describes the kind of men that
should go to the Klondike. He says:
“The clit. ite is wet. During the win-
ter months the cold is intense, with
usually considerable wind. A heavy
mist rising from open plains in the
river settles down in the valley in ex-
treme weather. This dampness makes
the eold felt much more and is con-
ducive to rheumatic pains and the like.
In selecting men to live in this
country," I beg to submit a few re-
marks, some of which will be of as-
sistance to the v.”edical examiners in
making their recommendations. Men
should be sober, strong and healthy.
They should be practical men, able to
adapt themselves quickly to their sur-
roundings. Special care should be
taken to see that their lungs are
sound, that they are free from rheuj
matism and rheumatic tendency, and
their joints, especially knee joints,
are strong and have never been weak-
ened by injury or disease. It is im-
portant to consider their tempera-
ments. Men should be of cheerful,
hopeful dispositions and willing work-
ers. Those of sullen, morose disposi-
tions, although they may be good
workers, are very apt, as soon as the
novelty wears off, to become dissatis-
fied, pessimistic and melancholy/
“Mr. Ogilvie, chief of the boundary
survey, in the report of a trip down
the Yukon, says, regarding the weath-
er: ‘It is said by those familiar with
the locality that the storms that rage
in the upper altitudes of the coast
range during the greater part of the
time from October to March are ter-
rific. A man caught in one of them
runs the risk of losing his life, unless
he can reach shelter in a short time.’
“Mr. Ogilvie, on this same trip, had
much difficulty with the Indians, and
they demanded 820 per hundred
pounds for parrying his goods. On be-
ing told that the |*arty Rad a jmrmlt
from the Great Father in Wa*hiiigton
to pa%* through the eoun'rjr. and that
the Indian* would bn punished if they
Interfered, they red need the price to
§1(1. Mr. Ogilvie estimate* that there
are at*»ul 460,000 acre* of land along
the Yukon and It* branches that
might be used for agricultural pur-
pose*.
“Mr Ogilvie give* tho miner* a bail
reputation. He *uv»: ‘1 may *uy that
it is generally very difficult to get any
exact, or even annmximutcly exact,
statement of fact* or values from min-
er*. Many of them arc invctcrutc
joker* and take delight In hoaxing.
The higher the official or *nciu! posi-
tion of tho person they hoax the bet-
ter they are pleused. 1 have several
time* found thut after upending hour*
getting information from one of them
It would be ail contradicted by the
next one 1 met. Another eaumi of
difficulty in getting trustworthy in-
formation from thuui i* that in a cer-
tain sense they consider every govern-
ment official or agent their enemy,
and that he i* in the country to spy
upon their doings and find out thing*
which the great mujority of them are
very much adverse to havj known.' **

LEGION OF HONOR.
Malt Began In Box ton for n Receiver
for the Organisation.
New York. Ang. 17..—The Herald
says: “It is announced in Jersey
City that papers have been filed in the
United States court in Boston on be-
half of James McNamara of Jersey
City, for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the American Legion of
Honor. The petitioner asks that the
receivers shall take charge of all mon-
eys paid in as assessments by members
of the order, and that the Legion of
Honor be enjoined from separating
moneys received by it from former
assessments as is now done.
“The filing of this petition for the
appointment of a receiver for the
American Legion of Honor, is a con-
tinuation of the old fight, which has
been made by some of the members
against the order. More than a year
ago sixteen councils or branches of
the organization in this city and
Brooklyn seceded because of the in-
creasing number of assessments.
There were in these branches about
10,000 Germans that contended that
the assessments were made so
frequently that they were unable to
bear the burden.”
JUSTICE FIELD’S RECORD.
The Supreme Coart Jurist Has Now
Surpassed Chief Justice Marshall.
Washington, Aug. 17. — Associate
Justice Stephen J. Field of the Su-
preme court of the United States,
broke the record for continuous ser-
vice on the supreme bench to-day,
having served thirty-four years, five
months and six days, or one day
longer than Chief Justice Marshall,
whose record had hitherto been the
longest of any justice since the estab-
lishment of the national tribunal of
last resort.
It has been generally understood
that Mr. Justice Field would retire
from the bench when his length of
service should exceed that of Chief
Justice Marshall. It is probable that
his seat will become vacant in the
near future and upon his retirement
Attorney General McKenna, according
to the present understanding will suc-
ceed him. The vacancy in the attorney
generalship, it is expected, will then
be filled by Judge Goff of West Vir-
ginia.
