GETS BACK AT CANADA.

RETALIATION- PROCLAIMED BY THE PRESIDENT. Canal Toils of 20 Cents a Ton Levied on Canadian Freight—Cause* Leading Up to the Declaration—Charge d'Affaires Herbert Was Warned. Bad tor Canucks. The President has proclaimed retaliation with Canada in accordance with the authority conferred upon him by the “act to enforce reciprocal relatione with Canada,” passed last July. The proclamation suspends the free navigation of the St. Mary’s Falls Canal and imposes a toll of 20 cents a ton upon all freight passing through that canal from Canadian ports. The proclamation ot the President Is as follows: By the President of the United States of America. A proclamation: Whebeab, By an act of Congress approved July 26, 1892, entitled "An act to enforce reciprocal commercial relations between the United States and Canada and for other purposes," it is provided that, with a view of securing reciprocal advantages for the citizens, porta, and vessels of the United States on and after the first day of August. 1892, whenever and so often as the President shall be satisfied that the passage through any canal or loqk connected with the navigation of the St. Lawrence river, the great lakes, or the water-ways connecting the same, of any vessels of the United States or of cargoes or of passengers in transit to any part of the United States is prohibited, or is made difficult or burdensome by the imposition of tolls or otherwise, which, in view of the free passage through the St. Mary's Falls canal now permitted to vessels of all nations, he shall deem to be reciprocally nnjust and unreasonable, he shall have the power and it shall be his duty to suspend by proclamation to that effect, for such time and to such extent (including absolute prohibition) as he shall deem right, tne right of free passage through the St. Mary's Falls canal so far as it relates to the vessels owned by the subjects of the government so discriminating against the citizens, ports, or vessels of the United States or to any cargoes or passengers in transit to the ports of the government making such discrimination, whether carried in vessels of the United States or of other nations. In such case and during such suspension tolls shall be levied, collected, and paid as follows, to wit: Upon freight of whatever kind or description, not to exceed $2 per ton; upon passengers, not to exceed $5 each, as shall be from time to time determined by the President. Provided, That no tolls shall be charged or collected upon freight or passengers carried to and landed at Ogdensburg or any port west of Ogdensburg, and south of a line drawn from the northern boundary of the State of New York, through the St. Lawrence River, the great lakes and their connecting channels to the northern boundary of the State of Minnesota.

SEC. 2. All tolls so charged shall be collected nnder such regulations as shall be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, who may require the master of each vessel to furnish a sworn statement of the amount and kind of cargoes, to the number of passengers carried, and the destination of the same, and such proof of the actual delivery of such cargo or fiassenger at some port or place within the imits above named as he shall deem satisfactory, and until such proof is furnished such freight and passengers may be considered to have been landed at some port or place outside of those limits and the amount of tolls which ■would have accrued if they had been so delivered shall constitute a lien, which may be enforced against the vessel In default wherever and whenever found in the waters of the United States; and. Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada imposes a toll amounting to about 20 cents per ton on all freight passing through the Welland Canal In transit to a port of the United States and also a further toll on all vessels of the United States and on all passengers on transit to a port of the United States, all of which tolls are without rebate; and, Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada, in accordance with an order in council of April 4. refunds 18 cents per ton of the 20oent tou at the Welland Canal on wheat, Indian corn, peas, barley, rye, oats, flaxseed and buckwheat, upon condition that they are originally shipped for and carried to Montreal or some port east of Montreal for export, and that, if transshipped at intermediate points, such transshipment is made within the Dominion of Canada, but allows no such nor any other rebate on said products when shipped to a port of the United States or when carried to Montreal for export if transhipped within the United States; and. Whereas, The Government of the Dominion of Canada, by said system of rebate and otherwise, discriminates against the citizens of the United States In the use of said Welland Canal, in violation of the provisions ot Article 27 of the treaty of Washington, concluded Mav 8,1871; and Whereas, Said Welland Canal is connected ragWMiaw cargoes in transit to ports of the United States is made difficult and burdensome by said discriminating system of rebate and otherwise, and is reciprocally unjust and unreasonable; now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President ot the United States of America, by virtue of the power to that end conferred upon me by said act of Congress, approved July 26, 1892, do hereby direct that from and after Sept. 1,1892 until farther notice, a toll of 20 cents per ton be levied, collected and paid on all freight of whatever kind or description passing through the St.-Mary's Falls canal In transit to any poit of the. Dominion of Canada, whether carried tn vessels of the United States or of other nations, and to that extent I do hereby suspend from and after said date the right of free passage through said St. Mary’s Falls cahal of any and all cargoes in transit to Canadian ports. In testimony whereof, etc. By the President: Benjamin Harrison. John TY Foster, Secretary of State. Accompanying Memoranda.

The memoranda accompanying the proclamation ie as follows: At an interview held at the Department of State on Monday, Aug. 1, the Secretary of State informed Mr. Herbert, charge d’affaires of the British legation, that in view of the passage of the act of Congress relating to the Canadian canal tolls the President would regard it his duty to issue, without delay, a proclamation based upon that act, imposing tolls upon products passing through the Sault Ste. Marie or St. Mary’s Canal, destined for Canadian ports, unless an assurance could be received from the Canadian government within a few days that the discrimination now enforced in the Canadian canals against American ports and lines of transj ortation would be promptly discontinued. Mr. Herbert answered that a f< w days' delay would be necessary in order to reassemble the Canadian Cabinet, the majority of whom were now absent from the capital; and he inquired of the Secretary what time would be considered reasonable for this purpose. The Secretary replied that he thought the Cabinet might be conveniently called together and take action within a week or ten days, and that nothing would be done by the President in the matter within that time. Mr. Herbert said he would communicate immediately with the Governor General of Canada by telegraph, and urge prompt action.

A creole kitchen, with native cook* and waiters, and dishes prepared in creole style, will be a striking adjunct to the exhibit which Louisiana will make. In the Missouri building will be displayed a huge map of the State 9| feet wide and 12 feet long, showing the counties, and statistics as to the amount and value of the pioduet of each for 1891.

The Torrid Term.

Corn is supposed to revel in this weather as wildly as a baby in possession of the molasses cup.—.vausas City Journal. As the city man reads in his newspaper how the “growing crops joyfully raise their heads to the smiling sun” he sighs to think he is not a crop; not even a corn-stalk.—Kansas City Star. Yes, It’s hot weather, but it’s making the corn jump. These nights you can hear the corn grow. If you don’t believe it, go into a corn-field and listen for the faint crackle that will be audible all around you.—Toledo Blade. One of the best ways to keep cool is to read cooling things, to imagine “squares of colored ice and cherries served in drifts of snow,” or “sandstrewn caverns, cool and deep, where the spent lights quiver and gleam. ” Milwaukee Sentinel. The weather is keeping pace with the fin de siecle. Thermometers make a rise in many directions to 92 in the shade. Doubtless it will continue to keep tall with the years until the mercury touches par and parboils New York. —New York Recorder.

GATLING GUNS USED.

DESPERATE BATTLE RAGED IN TENNESSEE. Miner* Make Three Attempt* to Take the Fort at Coal Creek—Reported Lynching of Captain Anderson--Twelve Said to Have Been Killed. Captured the Captain. Knoxville, Tenn., special: Gatling guns were turned upon the miners at Coal Creek. How mauy were killed and wounded no one yet knows. The only fact which none can dispute is that the fiercest battle in the history of the Coal Creek troubles began early in the morning and continued during the day. It is stated that Captain Keller Anderson, in command of the Coal Creek troops, has teen captured by (he miners, taken to an unknown place and lynched. For several hours firing was not general. About 2 o’clock the miners made an organized assault on the fort and were successfully repulsed. The second assault was easily repulsed. The third attempt resulted in a regular pitched battle and Gatling guns got in their work. Position of the Fort.

The fort occupies a crest of a hill commading the range of Coal Cre-k valley for five miles east and west. To the north is a spur of the valley in which the stockade of the Knoxville Iron Company is located. It will be impossible for the miners to leach the stockade as long as the fort holds out. To the southward from the fort stretches Walden ridge, which is very steep on the northern side and easy of ascent from the south. The top for several miles is a series of great ledges of sandstone, making a natural and almost invincible fortress. The distance from Fort Anderson across the valley to the top of Walden ridge is about 1,400 yards. On the top of the ridge the miners had planted two field pieces furnished them by sympathizers in Kentucky. The north side of the ridge and creek skirting the foot of Fort Anderson hill is a dense growth of hemlock and laurel. The assailants of the fort had all the .advantages of hiding, aud if one of their number should be either killed or wounded he could be hastily removed to a place of safety without any one being the wiser. No one is allowed to approach within a half mile of the fort unless he is known to be in sympathy with the miners, therefore it is impossible to get the names or even the number of killed or wounded.

Three Miners Captured. Between the first and second assault on the fort three miners wore captured. They sent up a flag of truce to Captain Anderson to ask for release. He was expecting such a message, and met the men on equal grounds. He was seized by several, of them and rushed down the hill, and finally taken to one of the hotels in the village, where he was guarded by Robert Lindsay, a deputy United States Marshal, and a number of friends. They held him as a hostage, and would not agree to give him up until the troops and convicts are withdrawn from Ihe valley.' It is from here he is said to have been taken and lynched. A Knoxville man, who arrived on the night train, states that three miners went to Camp Anderson under a flag of truce. Thinking they had come, as tney had on several occasions before, to hold a conference with him, Captain Anderson walked outside his lines and down to where the miners stood. He wa? immediately seized, and, using him as a shield, they took him down the hill. The men in the fort were afraid to fire when they at last realized what was being done for fear of killing their commander. He was taken through excited mobs of miners, who were yelling “hang him,” etc. They succeeded in safely conducting him to a room in the hotel. Once there one miner placed a gun at his head, demanding him to surrender his garrison. Looking straightforward at the man he asked permission to say a few words. It was granted. To the leader he said: “Tell my daughter I died like a soldier,” and, turning to the man who had placed the gun to his head, he said, “Now, you, shoot.” Finally Sheriff Rutherford and deputies took charge of him. From tfyat time on his fate is only a matter of rumor. The miners say that Capt. Anderson was drunk and came outside of the fortification in a drunken manner and the boys picked him up without trouble. He has so far made no statement. His force of 130 men is still holding the fort. The men have been on short rations for three days. Every avenue of supply has been cut off. Relief on tue Way. A special train arrived from Chattanooga at 8 o’clock, carrying Brigadier General Carnes and the First Regiment of the National Guards, 600 strong, and over 100 volunteers, citizens of Chattanooga. The train was switched around the city and started for Coal Creek. It is reported that while he was making a forced march from Clinton 2,000 miners attacked him. It was 9 o’clock at night and he could not see a yard before him. Suddenly a flash startled the troops. On all sides shots were being fired at them without mercy. They had been ambushed. Taken by surprise the boys did not know what to do, and panic reigned for some minutes; then Carnes succeeded in gett ng his men together and fired upon the m ners, who were in full retreat. Several of them were hurt, Four of Carnes’ men were killed and several hurt. Owing to the many conflicting rumors it is impossible to get the exact facts. The wires are all down between Clinton and Coal Creek, and no direct communication is possible except by courier.

Iowa’s Movement for Good Road,

Judge E. H. Thayer advanced a number of interesting suggestions in his speech before th j good-roads convention at Des Moines the other day. He advocated the co-operation of the government, State, county, township, city and individual in builiing first-class roadways through the State. Quoting that part of the National Constitution which says, “Congress shall have power to establish postoffices and postroads," he took the giound that every Inhabitant of lowa was entitled to have his mail brought to his home, whether that were in the city or country. Judge Thayer woull have the Government help also by returning to the respective States whose lauds were sold on Government account the money derived from them, less the purchase price, the cost of surveys and the expense of selling. This.would give lowa in round numbers $6,500,000 as Government contribution to the building of good roads. He would have the State take part by Issuing $5,000,000 worth of 3 per cent, bonis, and the cities could aid if the Legislature would authorize the common councils to appropriate money for good roads in any part of the county, instead of, as now, limiting the expenditure to within three miles of the city limits. This convention, its.delegates representing every county'in the State, is one of the most important ever held in lowa. It is the first fruits of agitation in lowa in favor of transforming the muddy, sticky, bottomless trails masquerading as highways into good smooth thoroughfares serviceable every day in the year.—Chicago News Record.

SOLDIERS SHOOT TO KILL.

Over Two Hundred Shot* Sent After Skulking Buffalo Striker*. A Buffalo, N. ?., special says: A concerted attempt was made by the strikers or their sympathizers to-night to “do up” the militia all along the line of the Nickel-Plate and New York Central Roads from the Ohio street crossing to the south of the city, away out to the Clinton street crossing of the NickelPlate Railroad. Over two hundred volleys were fired, but so far as known no one was killed. The trouble broke out shortly after midnight and every sentry on duty was assaulted with stones and coupling pins. Several sentries were struck. They replied with shots from their rifles and revolvers and called out the guard. In all the yards the guards were doubled and it is feared that before morning there will be serious trouble. The heaviest shooting took place at the Clinton street crossing of the Nickel Plate, where company K of the Twelfth regiment is stationed. The sentries were attacked here by six men who stoned them. They called out the guard and scoured the yards. The men must have been hiding in cars, for they were not found. .Hardly had the guard returned to quarters when the sentries were attacked again and the bullets whistled over the houses. Ten volleys were fired on this raid, but in the darkness the men were missed. Twice more was this repeated, and the firing continued till all the people living in the neighborhood were aroused. On the last sally the corporal of the guard reported that he believed one of the skulkers had been hit. The Twelfth regiment companies at Seneca street, aud the Thirteenth at Ohio street, were kept on the jump all night shooting at strikers who pulled couplings on trains ready to start in the morning. Out at the Tefft farm, where the Twenty-second Eeglment is on guard, the shooting began at 11 o’clock and continued until daylight. It was reported at 2 o’clock that two strikers had been shot to death by the guard. There were four meetings of strikers at different points to-night and threats were made that the militia would be “done up” before morning. A policeman in citizen’s clothing overheard the threats and notified the company commanders. Two men were bayoneted to-night while attempting to run the guard on- the Lake Shore tracks. The yards are surrounded by the militia, and orders have been issued to shoot every man dead who attempted to leave the yards. The sentries have orders to kill anyone who throws a stone or pulls a coupling pin. Gen. Porter was awakened at midnight by the report of the attack on the militia. He said he had not ordered out any more troops, but he regarded the situation as more serious than at any time since the strike began. He said he had feared trouble all along, and that to-night’s skirmish is only ths beginning of serious ■‘rouble. Gen. Porter and his staff are now canvassing the advisability of calling out extra troops. The Fourteenth, Seventh and Sixty-ninth are under arms in reserve and they may be ordered here. The latest report of the result of tonight’s shooting is that four men have been killed and two wounded in one place in the Erie yard a mile outside of the city, and that a number of other men have been wounded by the soldiers’ bullets in other yards.

Commander-In-Chief Palmer Innue* a General Order nt Beaton. Boston special: Preparations have been completed for the annual parade of the Grand Army of the Republic at its national encampment in Washington, and its details have been announced in a general order issued by Com-mander-in-chief Palmer. The order also says: “The twenty-fifth national encampment somewhat indefinitely indorsed a scheme for the erection of a monument commemorating, the emancipation. No statistics or prospectus whatever in connection therewith have been furnished thesd- headquarters, and as < omplaints havd been made and doubts have arisen, the Commander-in-chief advises that no further subscriptions be made for this purpose until such evidence is furnished as will remove all doubt concerning the character and purpose of those in charge of this worthy object, and that all posts having given money for this purpose report the amount to these headquarters. A political campaign badge has been placed upon sale, an exact sac-simile of the Insignia of our order, except that the photograph of the candidate is inserted in the center. The Commander-in-chief not only urges every comrade not to disgrace the order by placing this thing upon his breast but that he will appeal to every man who wears orje to take it off, and not disgrace an insignia of loyalty which is dear to every Union soldier regardless of party.”

Anarchists and Anarchy.

An anarchist by any ether name is just as bad. —Dallas News. Anabchy is a curious sort of crime. Its leaders are nearly always cowards, who use weak tools for all the dangerous work. When the work is done the leaders hide.—Baltimore American. There is no room in America for anarchists of any stripe whatever. The very spirit of anarchy must be stamped out. It is not a matter of politics. It is a question of self-preservation. —Toledo Commercial. There are a few anarchists In this country. There are also a few vlpe rs. We cannot expect to have all that is good and nothing that is bad, but we always have more good than we do bad and there is consolation in that. — Exchange. The anarchist business is being overdone. Some unwashed crank is likely to take a fall with his gun out of the President or the fortunate candidate for that office because the verdict of the people doesn’t please him. The best remedy for straight anarchy is temporary suspension—by the neck —the suspension to last at least twenty minutes. —Minneapolis Journal. The anarchists that infest our country are nothing more than a gang of foreign tramps and cut-throats, whose presence should not be tolerated in our midst. When they preach and dissemate their Infamous doctrine of assassination and the use of dynamite and fire, they have placed themselves beyond American clemency, and should receive the same treatment that we accord to a mad dog or a rattlesnake. —Exchange.

Rudyard Kipling.

Rudyabk Kipling is In Japan. If agreeable to the grand tycoon, the rest of the world would be very glad to have Rud kept there. —Detroit Free Press. The reports of Rudyard Kipling’s proceedings indicate that he ought not to do anything but write. He writes extraordinarily well, but he seems to have no other excuse for living.—Somerville Journal. Rudyard Kipling will spend the summer in Samoa with Robert Louie Stevenson, and they will swap opinione on American newspaper syndicates and their penurious treatment of brilliant geniuses.—Cleveland World.
