There are nearly 200,000 coal miners
on etrike in the United States. Many
of these are armed with revolvers and
rifles, and one body is said to possess
Gatling gun. Conflicts with the'

already occurred, ard more serious dis-

In 1807 the:total expenditure on Pub-
lic and Separate schools in Ontario was
$1,473,000. In 1882 it was $1,053,000.
This is an increase in 25 years of about
per cent. In the same period the
expenditure on High schools and Col-
legiate institutes increased from $113,-
000 to 55!5$5,000, or nearly 550 per cent.
We hate been going crazy over higher
education in this Province. We have
'unduly assisted this work at the expense
of the primary schools that exist for the
benefit of all. And in this folly the
Ontario Government has led the way.

The following, from the Farmer's
Sun, the Patron organ, will be interest-
ing to Soulh Huron electors :-There
-were no symptoms of conciliation in the
North Bruce and. South Lanark elect-
ions; it was war to the knife then, and
the Patron did not suffer in either case.
There werenoeyidences of conciliation
during the recent seseiou of the legis-
lature: there was a persistent refusal to
limit the expenditure at the government
house; there was no legislation to secure
the taxation of bonds and mortgages;
and the proposition to have county
ofliciale elected by the • people was
stubbornly opposed.

The Mieister, of Education told his
hearers at Strathroy recently that the
Provincial grants to Public Schools have
been more largely increased than have
those to High Schools. This statement
is not borne out by the public accounts.

Mr. Maxtor asserted at Toronto that

Dubs, a son-in-law of Defoe- who was ar-
arrested on Saturday, has been arrested by
the Inteecolonial Railway in connection
with the freight thefts. Both these men
were ex -employes of the railway and.
knew all the ins and outs of the system in
vogue at the station, and, as a conse-
quence, it was extremely difficult to dis-
cover the thieves. It would. appear from
recent developments that the gang oper-
atecl at night while the employes were oc-
cupied with an incoming train, Most of
the goods were than carted. to a merchant
at St. Alexandre, Que., who disposed of
them. It is expected that other arrests
will follow.
Another Terrible Landslide,
Monennen, June 5.-A special from
Quebec states that news comes from
Charlevoix county, 'ninety miles below
here, that a terrible landslide had oc-
curred and that ten houses were precipi-
tated into the Red river, and that there
has been a great loss of life. Details are
lacking, but the accident which occurred
is similar to that at St. Alban about a
month ago. The houses were carried
away at Bros Noir, where the stream of
that name joins the Red River. There is
no telegraph communication with that
point and particulars are meagre.

Ignenoet, June 5. -The Leeds Imperial
Federation has Memorialized the Imperial

will represent Great Britain at the Ottawa
conference, to intimate that the time has
come for the expense of the navy to be
equitably shared by all self-governing
countries of the empire, control of the
navy being also shared. It suggests that,
if necessary, the conference be adjourned
to allow of a full discussion of the point.
The Batley Chamber of Commerce has
adopted. the same memorial, and other
chambers are being urged to follow suit.

of the thieves but says he is not alone.
There seems to be an organized gang,
Teraisconta Railway ears were also visited

three young lads were Playing on the Duf-
ferin street wharf they fund a coat and
hat. They searched. in the coat pockets
and discovered a letter, which gave the
name of Thomas H, Stonier. The lads
carried the articles to No. 6 police station
where the officer in charge looked, up the
directory and found that a man bearing
the name of Stonier resided at 58 Stafford
street, A constable Was despatched to
that address and found that Mr. Stonier
had not been home last night. Stonier is
an engraver, and up to a year ago was em-
ployed in the Toronto Silver Plate Com-
pany, King street west, whenle and sev-
eral others were discharged. owing to the

COLORADO UNDER WATER.
A cloudburst Causes Many Deaths and
'Widespread Destruction.
PURIM°, Col., June I. -The cloudburst'
which sent a vast torrept of water down
the valley arid into this 'city caused many
deaths and rendered widespread desteuc-
tion. The work of rescue had just begun
when a recurrence•of the flood caused a
suspension of•the work, and it is feared
that many b.orlies which were washed
away and under debris will never be re-
covered. Many people are missing, --
A company of California Coxeyites,
numbering about fifty, who came frOm the
west and were camped on the river bank,
report that five of their comrades are
missing. Grave fears are expressed for
twelve families of squatters on an island
down the liver. There is no means of
reaching these people at present.
Dexvnit, June 1. -This city was practi-
cally isolated from the remaining portion
of the State for most of the day owing to

June 5. -The old fiettlers . say by observe,
Lion of pow upon, the mountains' that if
the weather continues hot the trsser will
rise twelve inches higher. This will melte
another series of great calamities. The
surmise as to the possible damage oc-
casioned by the floods have been real -
The flood -bound paseeiteers, Who were
detained east of the break for ten days,
have been brought to Vancouver by the,
'ferry and by traie. They are a sun -burnt
Weary lot, but, they are full of Marvellous
teleS.of the terrible floods. Their stories
suggest that not oinelialf of the wholesale
devastation has been chronicled. There
were some newspaper men among the be.
niglited traveller's, and they iserted ct newse
paper called the Glenevillimn Hustler;
printed. on note paper and scraps Of wrap-
ping paper. This periodical gave Accutate
110C01111tfi of the flood and the disasters of
Ruby creek. Some of those were of the
most startling nature, One of the news-
papers contained a complimentary ad-
dress th the railroad officials, and signed
by every passenger on board the train.
The following info:venation was gained
from some of the hundred and fifty de-
tained passengers:
At Kootenay, ell the lowlands are inun•
dated by the rising of Kootenay and
Cohnnbia rivers. The 'distress among the
farmers is very great. Donner's ferry is
ipundated and the water is rising very
fast. The Rebinson and Nelson branches
of the Canadian Pacific are almost washed
away. "The workmen at Ruby creek
found floating in the river," says one
report, "IC small raft, its cargo being the
dead bodies of an entire family. It is sur-
mised that after several days drifting
about the tide. tossed waters without feed
or sleep, the 'castaways resigned them-
selveS to their awful fate, and husband
and wife embraced each other for the last
time, tied themselves with ropes to their
their three little ones, and after a season
of awful suffering, passed one by one be-
yond eafthly trials. Thus they were•
found securely bound together." Many
other such sceneof horror are expected
to be developed before the mighty rivers
settle to their former confines.
Many of these settlers were so paralyzed
by time tremendous rush of waters that
they made no attempt to save their cattle,
and hundreds thus perished when they
could easily have been saved. The worst
has not been reached. This is because
the Cariboo waters have not come down in
full force.
All the Indian ranches are swept away.
The water is twelve inches above the floods
of 1882, The river has risen three feet in
the past' twenty-four hours and is still
rising. The track is washed „away . at
Warren Rock and the rail passengers are
brought by boat direct from Ruby Creek
to Westminster. There is a good deal of
suffering in the city and provisions are
scarce. The meat supply will not last an-
other' two days The dam at Hope Slough
has broken away as well as the dyke and.
the farmers in that section have lost every-
thing.
The floe(' is now running eight miles an
hour and constantly increasing in velocity.
The water has risen six inches at Mission
and eight inches at Langley. Roth towns
are completely under water, and the
greatest sufiering prevails. . Chilliwack-
town is inundated,and steamers are sailing
over the tops of houses in that locality.
The Hatzlec people are sailing into the open
doors of their homes in boats.
There have been narrow escapes aleng
the line„ notably at the bridge over the
Nicola river, near Spence's bridge. As the
first eastbound train since the trouble
conanienced went over, thalast sleeper had
scarcely passed the two West bents to the
large span, when the former were carried
down by the current. The conehes made a
perceptible drop which could be felt by
all the passengers. It was the cloaett call
to real bad disester during all the trouble.
"Never in my experience," • said Chief
Surveyor Carnal°, "did, I behold etch
pitiable sight and such helpless people.
The suffering is terrible and. deserving of
the sincerest commiseration. The people
are hopelesteend without sustenance. The
struggles of a lifetime ere gone for naught.
The handiwork andi pride of many years
of hard work now lie below the raging
billows of the Fraser."
Another batch of passengers has arrived
and report several more washoute. At
Nichemen island there is one twelve miles ,
long and two miles wide. All the funds
realized by holiday celebrations will be de.
voted to the sufferers. Cettle have been
