SOCIALISTS FORCE CONCES
SIONS FROM KING ALBERT
Brussels, April 19 ? The Soclnl
U's, through the strike which has
'led up must of the Industries of
the kingdom of Belgulm for the past
week, are meeting with the political
success which prompted the strlko.
The UelKulni government consists of
a hereditary constitutional monarchy
with King Albert 1 ou the throne.
There Is a senate and a chamber of
deputies elected by the aristrocratlc
party and the laudholdlng voters,
and disfranchising the rank and file
of the people. For a long time an
attempt has been made to secure
manhood suffrage but without suc
c?ss. The continued refusal to grant
the more entended suffrage resulted
in t."ie forcing of an organisation of

Although shawls worth $30,000 are
very rare. Seattle boasts the posses

at this amouut.
Ono of these, the property of Mrs.
Joseph Moore, has been In the fam

was Intended for a catafalque, or
Tiiiierul c.u.opv, and Is supposed to
have been mado by nuns for some
cathednl, and to have been stolen

first authentic record concerning it
Is that it was the property of a
frenchman named Mitts, the great,
great-grandfather of Mrs. Moore.
The background is a peculiar brown
sl:k, and on this is hand
embroidered six hundred and thirty
two floral denigns, which are very
i-.tural in form and color. Experts
estimate that the working out of
those six hundred and thirty-two In

At first, tho strike was taken as a
Joke, but each day thousands quit
their work until the whole country I

forced the governent to take some
form of recognition and the results
promise complete political freedom
for tho Socialists.
This morning the chamber of depu

they were ready to meet tho strikers

made up. hlver since tho llalU
moro convention when Bryan wrested
the presidential nomination trotu Mr.
Clark and handed It over to Mr. Wil
son, theuo two gentlemen have not
been on terms of cordiality and In
timacy. Clurk was sore at his de
feat and cherisued a revengeful
sent lout ugulnst the muu who was re
fl, nsible lor It, and that muu was
assuredly Mr. Uryuu.
Today these gentlomeu have been
torn again. They have bathed in
tho uow light or brotherly love, and
all hate and rancor and discord nave
been washed away. Not only do
they admit tjiis to themselves and
their Immediate friends, but thoy
have gouo so far as to issue a pub
lic aud signed statement that they
huv.e burled the hatchet and clasped
hands In amity, Uygoues uro by
gones eveu now. The bitter person
alities thut the Baltimore conven
tion engendered have been dispers
ed like mists before the rising sun
of Democracy.
All of this happened at a little
banquet, u private luncheon, a cab
aret, as It were. What wus served
at thut cabaret their signed state
ment doth not say. Something was
served that hud a mollifying Influ
ence Is centalu. When they first
sat down there wus a noticeable
chill In the room. The rofrlgeratod
conversation even tinkled against
the sides of the glasses. Soon the
cabaret got in Its rejuvenating in
fluence and warmed them to the
heart's core. Then they shook
hands. Imagination might picture
them with arm linked In arm, sing
lug "Good Night I-ndlou" and "Wo
Won't Go Homo Till Morning."
.Mind you, the reporter doos not say
this happened, but Imagination might
picture it ho.
GREATER W

Tokyo, April 19 ? Forinor Prem

luflucnco of Christianity that will
prevent the Japanese aud the Amer

llevoa that the thousands of Japan
ese who have como to the Unltod
States and formed friendships here
and Imbibed more or loss of the
Christian rollgiou, will exorcise a
great influence In preventing war
by their countrymen.
So far as tho Americans are con
cerned, he says thero is a rapidly
growing sentiment in favor of poace
under all conditions except that of
dishonor. It is true that considor
uole wild tnllc Is being Indulged In
ever the threatened attitude of Cali
fornia in barring Orientals, yot
when all Is said and dono, same
way will bo found to liarmonlzo the
differences. He bcllevos both coun

Ht'ERTA GOVERNMENT
NOT YET RECOGNIZED
Washington, April 19 ? The pub
lished roport in a Washington pap
er to the effoct that the United State*
governmont baa recognized the Hu
erta govornraent In Mexico, Is de
nied by members of the Wilson cab
luet.
Reprinted from tho Ilalne* Pioneer
I'rean.
Since tlie spring of 1898 several
I-liicer claims on Nugget Crook, n
tributary of the Salmon Rl\or, whic
flows Into tho Chilkat opposite Kluk
wan, hare been worked on a small
scale. It has boon long known by
prospectors that good pans could bo
tairon in many localltlos In tho Sal
mon River Basin, but tho difficulty
of putting oquipment upon tho
ground tins so far deferred any very
earnest efforts at derelopement. VTa
Holgate, J. H. Spaun and Win. J.
Bledsoe, with tho holp of Otto Gels
lor and otherB, put in n complete
<<lj|pme?t for pructlcal mining at
the head of Nuggot Creok. Thoy
then proceeded to wash off the sur
face of tho ground In order to mukto
a bedrock cleanup thin season. Ai
au Incident of this work, ovor sev
tn pounds of course gold waB taken
from tho sluices. They prospected
tho gravol on the Dig Salmon Flat*
at tho mouth of Nuggot and hare
staked a number of claims being sat
isflcd that they have acquired a
broad area of paying 'bar gravel.
Fludlng that tho ground Is strict
ly a dredgo proposition tho parties
interested havo been bending all
their energies during the past win
ter to devlso ways and means. Mr.
Spann has succeeded in lntoro3tlng
a dredgo owner In tho onterprlse uu
a corporation was organized thl*
wcik with u capitalization ot
) .uOO.OOO shares at tho par valu? ot
one dollar to absorb the Upper Nug
get Creek and the Lower Bar prop
erties In order that, through th?
oc.-nomy that can only bo attained
by a largo and expensive lnstallmeut
they may work tho ground to what
they fully cxpoct will bo a good pro
fit. Tho Incorporators of the Com
pany are Wm. J. Bledsoe, Otto Gels
ler and II. B. LoFoyre and the first
directory Is coposed of Messrs. Bled
soe, Spann and I.eFevre. It is pro
posed to place the dredge, knocked
down, on the Government road op
posite Wells this summer and to In
stall it during the early part of
tho winter after tho rivers freeze.
Tho works at tho head of Nugget
Creek are in complete readiness for
operations on pay. The worklug
crew has been engaged for tho sca
? r> and an soon as tho water runs
the giant will be directed on bed
rock. The upper camp Is an actual
pay field and has been turnod over
to tho company to strengthen tho
stock and avoid two organizations
composed of the same shareholders.
While the organization Is now, tha
struggles of tho promoting stockhold
crs leading up to it have been of
years duration. Wm. Holgate has
worked on Nugget and vicinity
slncc 1900 and thoro are others a
bout tho camp who hive main :iln<>d
their holdings sln*:e the discovery
of gold In the old Porcupine Ro
i coi ding District, among whom Is G.
W. Hlnchman who has worked his
Nugget Creok claim for 1 -1 years.
As a man prows older, he takes better

The service of this store is not
confined to young men. Any
man of any age can be well-fitted,
