American Railway Union. “I have no such power,” he said. “Only the exec- , utive board of our order has the right to order a strike. No meeting of the board has been called, and as mat- ’ ters now stand none is likely to _be vailed. There is little need of calling a strike of the miners. Where the coal roads are tied up by the American Railway Union the miners are idle as a necessity. No coal can be shipped and so the companies are not at work rom- . in- coal. 1 will say this, however: Such is the feeling of the mineis against •blacklegs’ that they will strike of their own volition wherever a railread company succeeds in getting nonunion labor to take the pla es of striking union trainmen, no matter what the cause of the stri.ee may be.” NEWS NUGGETS.

it f- ’ | when the rapia CTm . ;.K- or mo^t n. a:e taken into consideration the importance of his mission dwindle-. The author of “In the Morambaia Marsh" says that along the banks of African streams it is’dangerous to approach the river edge. Water for domestic

purposes is obtained from the top of the banks by means of a cup attached to a bamboo’ pole twenty or thirty feet in length and in spite of all these precautions the death roll is a most ahastly one. The primitive dugouts used by the natives for traveling on the rivers are in many eases merely death-traps. While the man is paddling along, ba-ely two inches above the surface of the river, the crocodile seizes his hand and drags him to the bottom. On one occasion I sent down some letters bv a Hindoo merchant and a few weeks later heard that both' let- : ters and postman had been devoured by crocodiles. At another time I was strolling along the bank, and hearing cries, arrived at tho water’s edge in time to seize a boy whose leg nadbeen caught bv one of these brutes and torn from him. He escaped with his life, thanks to my timely arrival. In some places one sees thousands of

crocodiles on a mud bank, most oi them scarcely two inches in length, evidently just hatched. A week does not pass‘but in some river village wa’-s and lamentations are heard for a fresh victim to the crocodile s insat 1a de appet.te.
