On learning of this deception the Chinese broke out ( in mutiny, chased the officers of the ship into their cabln^attacked those of the Chineao crew who remained faithful and then started a race war on the Russians. Tho officers finally fought their way out, and, after shooting a score of the Chinese, uegained control of the ship. All of tho horrors of mu tiny rampant with a horde of rabid coolies of the lowest and basest type engaging In deadly combat all hours j of the day and night for nearly a J month, were Intensified by the filth ? of the passengers and the rotten j decks, unwashed and putrefying with ?? a thick coating of offal, blood and foul garbage.

No Cause For Alarm?1Tt.inks Cry of Failings Has Itccn (tailed For a I'liiposc, Chicago.- Ueports of damage to the crops, which have been so nu merous of late, owing to the unsea sonable weather and tho ravages of bugs, have been greatly fcxaggftrated, and for ft purpose,according to James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture. "Spring seeding is a little hack ward on account of Abe cold weath er," hc^aaid, "but there is plenty of time between now and the last of September to grow a crop of all kinds of grain. In Minnesota and the Da kota?}, where we raise most, of our spring wheat, seeding has been de layed about two weeks, but, with a few days of warm sunshine, planting will be in full progress. ' While the weather has been un seasonably cold in sotn.o &iain re gions, still It has not been severo enough to retard plowing, and my ad- j vices are that the ground i 11 those StateB has been nearly all made ready to receive tho sesd. We will have | warm weather in a few days, and I don't see what ja to prevent n nor mal crop of spring wheat in the Foi led States. "As regards the Canadian North west, the reports that this year's har vest may he seriously diminished may have some foundation. "However, such a condition in the Canadian Northwest will not make a great deal of difference when this year's crop Is harvested. The Cana dian farmer grows but a smalt por tion of thostota! erop of wheat, and I am of tho opinion that the deficiency, if there should ho any in that part of the country this year, will hardily bo noticed when the harvesting through out the wdrld has been completed. "in the Southwest there have been numerous rumors for the last three weeks of serious damage wrought by green bugs. These reports of dam age to thn winter wheat have been grossly exaggerated. I am in a posi tion where I get as good information as anybody regarding the growing crop. While 1 have had many re ports about tho green bug, still tli# damage wi'ought by these insects has been local in every instance, aAid there has not been any general attack by this ptst. as some peoplo are en deavoring to make It appear. "From my knowledge of the South west. where so much of our winter wheat is grown, the advices I have at hand lead me to believe that the Southwest will have it:? usual crop this year. This applies to oats and corn as w$ll as to wheat. The crop as a whole may be delayed somewhat In ripening, but not enough to cause any apprehension. Corn v/ill suffer the most, as plowing for this crop has been delayed considerably, but 1 see no cause for alarm. "There ' Is considerable grain grown between Washington and Chi cago, and from my personal observa tion of this part of the United States I can state wtthod^jittysjreservatlon that I never in my lif<f*'?Kw brighter prospects than are prevailing at the present" time. , "Taken" as a whol.*\ 1 see no cause for complaint, and I think it will b3 found, wheu thrashing timo comes, that all this cry of erop damage has been made for a purpose."

Queen Victoria gave Mi lh to a son, who becomes holr to tho throno of ^|>a!n. Ho will ho named Alfonso and havo tho title henceforth of Prince of the Asturias. The child 1h described as being a ro bust blond and as having his moth er's complexion. It Is the first time In manv generations that tho first Child of a King and Queen of Spain lias been a male. bor and son are doimr well I ho birth occurred at 12.45 o'clock n. m. Tho announcement was inimo ?llafoly convoyed to tho waiting offi cials within and tho crowds outside no palaco. who received tho glad tid ings with feelings of enthusiasm and emotion. That tho Queen hod been blessed with n son a male Imlr to tho throne ? was no Io?h welcome than th-? happy event itself. The formal announcement of the six of (lie royal Infant was made by ?he Camarnra Mayor, or Mistress of ' H"bps, to Premier Maura, who formal I v communicated tho f:lrt to ? ho official company in attendance, the Premier In announcing the birth used tho words* "Centlemen. it is a prince." Tho Infanta Kulalla was at the King's side as he entered the room accompanying tho Camnrara Mavor "nrryinj? rt" huge silver tray, upon which was lying tho newly horn royal hahy. covered wiih delicate lace gar ments. The scene warmest Impres sive Premier Maufh' at once ad vanced. and. with/feome hesitation, relieved (he Mistress of tho Robes of her precious load. Then, bearing the tray, the Premier proceeded slowlv to the centre of the room, where all present crowded round, anxious to obtain a glimpse of (ho child, which was presented to one .often- the other ? n their order of court precedence. When the curlosltv of all those pres ent was satisfied the babe was handed hack to tho Mistress of th? Robes and by tho latter was given to the royal nurse, who immediately returned to the side of the Queen. As tho nurse disappeared into the royal apartments a roar of cheering ^ould bo heard from tho outside of the palaco. Business had been sus pended for hours previous to tho an nouncement of tho child's birth. An immense multitude gathered in the vicinity of the palace, and when the royal standard, of red and gold, nat tered up to the peak of the flags!off .->11 tho Punt a''-de Dlamonte, making known that a prince of the Asturlas was born, a great shout of Joy went up from the assembled masses. Im mediately afterward a .salute of twon ty-ono. guns carried the news to the most remote confines of the city and the inhabitants of the surrounding country. As the sixteenth report re bounded, for fifteen guns only would have been fired to announce the birth of a girl, tho num. women and cliil iren waiting in tho streets and on the balconies and roofs gave voice to their satisfaction, and soon the whole sltv was pinging with cries of "Long livo tho Prince!" "Long live the Queen!" and "Long livo the King!" Simultaneously tho public build ings blossomed out, as if by magic, with the Spanish colors and, singing, lancing and otherwise rejoicing al most the entire population of the elty aegan streaming In(the direction of the palace. \ The Queen insists that she will her self nurse tho child, despite the oppo sition of the royal household to such a departure from custom, as she de sire* to insure Its good health The Queen was the first to Kiss the baby, and sho was followed by tho two grandmothers.

Hay wood, first of tho alleged participants In tho avenging conspiracy by which It is charged the assassination of Frank Steunenberg was plotted and executed, was ptneed on trial for his life here before Judge Wood. Coun sel for the State and prisoner began examining prospective jurors at once. The opening of the trial was earnest and businesslike. Its striking feat ure w?h the absence of crowds or demonstrations. At no time was the courtroom more than half tilled, and the street* forming the Court House square contained not a single loiterer. Never have the Issues between cap Italand labor been brought Into $uch sharp conlllrt as in the dlRciutaion over the trluls at Rolse of Charles H, Mover and William I) Haywood, re spectively president and secretary of the Western Federation of Miners, and George A. Pet illume, former, member of the Executive Hoard of the organization, for alleged complic ity in the assnssln&fion of the late Governor Frank Steunenberg. Steunenberg whs blown to pieces by a bomb as he was entering the gate of his home at Caldwell on the evening of December :?0, P.>0 5. A string had been attached to the gate, and as Mr. Steunenberg opened the unto it set off the bomb. As soon as the news of the murder reached Hoise that evening Governor Gooding went to Caldwell by special train and superintended the efforts to capture the assassin. The town was patrolled, and no one was permitted to enter or leave without giving a full and satisfactory account nf himself. In the round up several suspicious characters were gathered In. Among them was Harry Orchard, whose story of his move ments in Caldwell and his reason for being there at all were so suspicions that ho was held on the charge of hoing implicated li^ Ujr murder. Or chard was a member of the Western Federation of Miners. Steve Adams, another member of the organization, was also arrested. S mpkifts, a third member, was implicated, but got away, and has never been arrested. In behalf of the State Governor Gooding offered a reward of $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of the murderer*. The Steunenberg family added $5000, and Canyon County in creased the amount. Pinkerton de tectives, attracted by the rewards, took up the case, and James McPart land, famous us the man who raa, :lown the "Molly Maguires" in Penri^' 3yfvanla thirty years ago, took charge of the work for them. MePartland Anally got from Harry Orchard a ronfcsslon, In which Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbone wero Implicated in the assassination of the ex-Governor. What corroboration of the story the. prosecution has it hag kept very close, but It is asserted that thore Is % great deal of it. Steve Adams also confessed, but subsequently recanted. Moyer, Haywood and Pettlbono were all In Denver When this Orchard itory was told. The Idaho authori ses submitted the evidence then in their possession to Governor McDon ald, of Colorado, who granted a war rant of extradition at Governor Good ing's request. The men wero ar rested on a Saturday night, and be fore any legal steps could be taken in Jioir behalf to thwart their extradi tion they were brought Into Idaho on % special train. From that dtfy to this their 1 fiends among the labor men have never r.cased to charge that they were kid naped, although the Supremo Court of the United States sustained tho procedure. The Westoru Federation of Miners at once took up the cause of Its leaders and organized labor generally throughout the country has taken similar action. Money In very large sums has been subscribed to meet tho expenses of their defense, and in every way labor formally has made its own the cause of Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone. Thus it has come about that the struggle is really a tost of strength between the force of law and order in Idaho on one side and organized labor on the other.
