Lopez is a small man with a yellow complexion and straight black hair, nis secretary, who aajra that he has known Lopez for eight years, is a colonial from Queenstown, and describes de-scribes himself as a Btitisber from head to foot. At the docks there was only one man to meet him, a sandy-haired sandy-haired man, who was addressed as Mr. George, but refused to give his nam to reporters.

' - Operatars OfTer Increase of lO Per Cent to Stop Pennsylvania Strike. An offer of an increase of 10 per cent in miners' wages has been made by the Philadelphia & Reading Coal A Iron company, and this move, it is stated, will be followed by similar notices at every colliery in the anthracite anthra-cite region. It is expected by the operators that this increase in wages will be satisfactory satisfac-tory to the men, and they believe many .strikers will take advantage of the offer and return to work. Mining operations op-erations will in this event be given an impetus, and the operators expect there will then be a gradual resumption resump-tion until the collieries will again have their full complement of employees. The Philadelphia & Reading company com-pany operates thirty-nine collieries, and of these, twenty-seven have been shut down owing to insufficient working work-ing force. It is' believed that the state department depart-ment has taken steps through Minister Wu to impress upon the Chinese government gov-ernment the undesirability of the appointment ap-pointment of Prince Tuan as grand secretary, and the painful impression this appointment has created throughout through-out this country, The effect of his appointment, if persisted n, it is said, might be to retard se'riously the final negotiations or, in fact any negotia. tions at all. If the appointment of Tuan promises to obstruct the performance of tha pledge in any manner, then' it would be clearly violative of the guarantee laid down, and would warrant the immediate im-mediate withdrawal of Mr. Conger from further relations with the Chinese envoys.

Vle-Presidential Candidate Attacked Tangs at Victor, Colorado. y As Governor Roosevelt and his party were leaving the ball at Vietor, Colo., tbey were surrounded by a mob of men and boys who began throwing rocks at the party. One man-made a personal attack upon Governor Roosevelt, and succeeded suc-ceeded in striking him a blow ia the. breast with a stick. The assailant was immediately knocked down by Daniel M. Sullivan, postmaster of Cripple Creek. ; . . A rush was then made by the mob for the mounted men, who accompanied accom-panied the Roosevelt party, in an endeavor to drag them from their horses. The men on foot closed around the governor, making a wedge which pushed through the crowd, and they finally succeeded in gaining the train, whieh was surrounded by the mob,. By this time there -was probably 1,000 or 1,500 excited people in the vicinity, and fisticuffs were exchanged on all sides. Many of the mob were armed with sticks and clubs, some with rotten potatoes, stale eggs and lemons. The entire party regained the train, however, without serious injury, and it pulled out of the place with the rough riders on the rear platform. - The incident was the only one of violence that has occurred during the progress of the trip, and it is reported by Postmaster Sullivan of Cripple Creek and others, that the trouble was occasioned by a small body of roughs who bad been organized and paid for Jj thfprpoae. of breaking up the meet ing.

Jury Declares Him Guilty of Complicity In the Murder of Governor GoebeL The jury in the case of James Howard, How-ard, on trial at Frankfort, Ky., for alleged al-leged complicity in the Goebcl assassination, assassi-nation, rendered a verdict of guilt, with the penalty fixed at death. The jury retired at 9:10, and- returned with its verdict at 9:47. The courtroom was crowded with spectators almost trembling trem-bling with suppressed excitement. The verdict was a surprise as the general public were led to believe that the jury was divided on the question of guilt or innocence of tbo defendant. "Jim" Howard, as he is commonly known in the mountains, is a strikingly striking-ly handsome man, 44 years of age, and would be one of the last to be pointed out by a stranger as the man on trial. He had the record, however, of being the leader of the Howard-White faction fac-tion in the Baker-Howard feud in Clay county, in which numerous lives were taken. Ho had killed George Baker and was suspected of the assassination of Tom Baker, who was killed after the same fashion as Goebel, and Howard's How-ard's friends believe that these facts have much to do with the making of the verdict sentencing him to the gallows. gal-lows.
