FOREIGNERS IMPORTED IN BULK- - Tha Htiuat'oa la tha Pennsylvania Coke Regions Tha Strikers Losing Oraaad. Pittxih-ru- May I). Foreigners are coming into the coke region in bulk. An operator says that he can turn .1000 men into the region in twenty-fou- r hours, but cannot shelter them. A pe-culiarity about this wholesale importa-tion is that the strikers are as tirui and uubroken as ever. Today the labor otlicials say there will soon be a supply of money" and tents for the needy, bui this they have been promis-ing Uir weeks. It is particularly noted that the aid pledged from the Federa-tion of Labor has not yet made its ap-pearance. The strikers are losing giouud, though the region as a whoie is making a poor showing in coke ship-ments. Mitsittc of several pacific eviction?, and one occasion where a blackleg was forced to quit work by strikers, all is serene. The leaders aiid men are pre-paring for a vigorous campaign be-tween this and Monday and will en-deavor to talk with every worker.either by mass meeting or individually, in order to induce them to stop work. The effects of this concerted move will be kuown Monday. In addition to the inconvenience suffered by the near town furnaces owing to the coke strike, a general complaint comes today from the Ma-honing nnd Shenangi) valley furnaces, that ate estimated to produce one-eight-of the pig iron in the country. Ttie furnaces in these valleys shut down last Junuary for two months, but the coke strike came upon tbnm just as they expected to resume, and for live imtiithii iii.nir Itl.iut forneea ill tha valleys have been dead. Tho operators would be glad to resume, but the coke supply is too weak to be depended up-on. In figuring up the losses, no at-tention has yet been paid to the rail-mad- s thai are really the greatest losers. The lines running through the coke regions have missed their WMMJ cars of coke per week far three months, while the roads in Shenango and Mahoning valleys for five months have found a failing in shipments of millions of tons of coal, iron ore and finishing articles. All this loss, exclusive of wages'of tbe men on every side, aud tho profits of the coke and furnace and null opera-tors, will present figures of loss almost beyond belief. MEXICAN JAD ORES.

The United Statei Takes 66 Per Cent of Those Sent Out F rom Mexico, 80 Per Cent of All ExporU. Washington. May 9. The collector of customs at Eagle Pass. Texas, has been instructed by the treasury depart-ment to treat as lead ores the alleged silver ores composed of a mixture of ore concentrates from the different mines, pending a review by the district court of Texas of the decision of the board of general appraisers, sustaining the protest of the importers against the collector's assessment of duty on cer-tain silver ores. The recent statistics published by the Mexican goverument show that the ex-ports from Mexico to the United States have increased so rapidly that the people of this country now take all but 20 per cent of the merchandise ex-ported from Mexico, although the man-ufacturers of the United Mates do not furnish more than half the imports of that republic. Of the exports of precious metals the United States takes 66 per cent, Kng-lan- 21 per cent, (iermauy 3.7 per cent and France 7.7 per cent. "A llllllMliAlED.

The tirm did business in teas, coffees aud other groceries and had headquarters in this city.

On account of the complicated character of the business no figures could be given at present. TRACY UNCONCERNED. Tha Seeratary of tha Navy Doesn't earn Worried Over tha Itala's Escape Washington. May 0. It was not ap-parent this morning that the navy de-partment was exercising itself greatly to recapture the Chilean steamer Itala. Secretary Tracy left the city early this morning in the company of Commo-dore Folger to inspect officially the new ordnance proving ground at In-dian Head, about 40 miles down tho Potomac, without leaving any trace of an order rotating to the matter. If there was any serious disposition on the part of tho navy department to send the Charleston In chase of the Itata, it would appear to have been abandoned, but there is reason to be-lieve there is some hope entertained by the government that officials of the Itata did not start at full speed for Chile. In the first place it does not appear that she received the arms carried by the schooner Robert and Minnie, and in the second place the dispatjhes stated she started northward, which certaiuly is not the route from California to Chile. There is a very strong suspicion that she is lurking somewhere in the neighborhood of San Diego waiting an opportnhity to get the arms from the schoiner. San Francikco, May 9. The United States ship Charleston left here at li o'clock this morning. The destination is unknown. It is understood she has gone outside to test her new rifles. A Wall from Home. Rome, May 0.

She was an uncommonly pretty girl, to be sure, but her beauty would have found fewer admirers in any other cloak. The day was one of these ugly, gray affairs, that give the most ag-gravated symptoms of la grippe to everybody who has the least im-agination or a proper senso of the fitness of things. The steaming fog was taking tbe kinks right out of every other woman's hair, but around the smooth white brow of the girl in scarlet wrap the little curls grew tight-er, the waving tendrils wavier. Neither blonde nor brunette, but with a clear, fair skin, a healthy red in her cheeks and big brown eyes full of mingled honesty and coquetry, the eyes that be-long to the girl, pure, sweet and true hearted, in whom has just awakened a delightful preception of her power and a mischievous enjoyment in its exer-cise. Crowning the curls was an odd little hat of scarlet crepe, pelticoated with black lace of delicate tracery. A fan of lace stood up behind, supported by a little gold serpent erect anil on the top of its tail. But the cloak it w as of scarlet, broadcloth; a revised Conne-mar- a in shape. It flew open at the bot-tom and showed the lining of scarlet satin. A huge gold cord, with heavy tassels edged tho yoke and tied in long loops and ends in front. Full gathers made the shoulders very high. The yoke and high collar were braided with gold, aud all about tho foot of the cir-cular ran a deep gold border spangling in fantastic excursions up toward tbe waist. to be bid at more safe places. Though the Benedictine monks were expelled long ago and the monastery converted at the first into an orphan asylum, then into military barracks, the church with its valuable treasure was left untouched. Today tho blood may be seen as fresh and uninjured as that of a living man. Each year, on the Friday after the Feast of the Ascension, it is carried around in solemn procession. The priest wtio carries the vessel rides on horseback, followed by more than a thousand like-wise on horseback, not counting the crowds that follow the prooessiun on foot-I-n the year 1773 there were employed 7.055 horses. For this occasion pilgrims came from all the neighboring countries. Never, however, was there such splendor txliibited as last year, the eight hun-dredth anniversary. The procession lasted two hours. All those on horse-back were dressed according to the fash-ion of tho Eleventh and Twelfth cent-uries. The evening before the town waa beautifully illuminated. Exchange.

Decided to go ta Jail Ketber Thaa VTf Certain Tax. Kansas Citv, May 9. There wag trouble in the exeoution of recent judg-ments in tho bond cases against CaaW and St. Clair counties. It grows ontof tbe refusal of tbe judges of the county-court-s to levy taxes for payment ot these judgment. The judges of eacir county announced their determination; to go to jail rather than order tha tax oti the people. There are) two judgments against St. Clar county, one in favor of B. D. Stew-art and the other in favor of tba Ninth National bank of New York, ag-gregating over $100,000. When Deputy Marshal Oechsly served papers on tbe judges yesterday they told bim they would never order the tax; that they had been elected under promise to never to levy a tax for the pay-ment of these bonds, and that they were not only not disposed to do it, but were afraid to do it. The conditiou of affairs in Casa county is even more desperate. Judg-ment was rendered some time ago in; favor of Albert Parker, a capitalist of San Diego, Cal.. for about $100,000. A f N mandamus ordering a levy of taxes was granted by the court and disregarded. t The three judges were arrested, and gave bonds in the sum of $1000 to ap- - pear before the court in Kansas City ' the second Monday in June. Th ,; bonds are railroad bonds, and were issued by the counties twenty year go. ' A Chloago Strike Settled. Chicago, Mav 9.

At 11 o'clock on Monday night a party of ten gentlemen, who had been spend-ing the evening pleasantly at an informal ball at tha Jokyl Island club hon.se, con-cluded they would have a "pig hunt" be-fore retiring. Without taking time to change the dress suits in which they were attired, tbey slung their rifles across their shoulders and set out into the jungles of in quest of wild hogj. The agreement before starting was that every ritlo Bnoitld be fired at the first pig that broke cover. They bad not pro-ceeded very far before one of the gentle-men had the misfortuue to trip and fall heavily through a bunch of palmettoes and into a pool of water about a foot and a half deep. Sixteen shots were f red in quick suc-cession from the rifles of the other mem-bers in the direction of the noise, each one thinking a pig had been started. During the fu allude the unlucky sports-man was afraid to put even his nose above water, ami when, after the firing had ceared, the hunters rushed to the spot to fiud their game they discovered, instead of a wild hog, their half drowned companion. The boys shouldered tho game and carried it back to the club house, fully jienuaded that 'midnight, dresj suits and pig hunting didn't go very weil together. Brunswick (.Ga.) Times.

This person was a woman and some day Tho Woman is going to hunt her out and stand before her and looking at her say: "For this have I waited all the years of my life." For thi woman has dared to do what Tiie Woman has only sketched out to her-self as a splendid possibility but has lacked tbe courage to accomplish. For many year has this wise woman been reading and now she has stopped, in the interest of thinking. Not a single line does she read or has she read for a year or more. Before that she had read omuivorously in just that restless, devouring way that people have got into nowadays, as if just to be left alone with our own brains for a little while were the worst calamity that could be-fall us. Well, it is a strain on most of us, at any rate. Few of us have got fat enough to hibernate on for very long. The uneasy consciousness of that in her own case is what has kept The Woman reading. But the shifts that people make day after day to escape the trouble of thinking! Why, a like amount of nervous encrey ex'peuded iu thinking would be su.licient to work out a new system of philosophy.
