A despatch from Vera Cruz says: The first serious case-to come be- fore the Provost Marshal, Comman- der D. F. Sellers, of the Arkansas, indicated the efficacy of the naval service, A thief was apprehended and lodged in jail within a few hours of the commission of his crime of blackmail. A man, giving the name of J. R. Mulcahy, who asserted that he was an American reporter, told the Pro- vost Marshal that he had informa- tion of the whereabouts of quanti- .| ties of arms and ammunition in the hands of Mexicans. Mulcahy was given.a squad of three armed men and instructed to seize the arms and ammunition. Led by Mulcahy, the men went to a gambling house, where Mulcahy in Spanish demanded money instead of arms, and represented himself as a second captain of police. The marines, not understanding the transaction, watched Mulcahy compel the opening of safes, which proved to be empty, the cashier ex- plaining that the funds had been turned over to his employer, Pedro Nau. The cashier was thereupon forced to conduct the panty to the resi- dence of Nau, from whom money was demanded. Nau handed over 5,000 p€sos, which Mulcahy carried to Lis hotel and dismissed the mar- ines. On the following .day Nau com- plained to the Provost Marshal, af- ter which detectives traced Mul- cahy, who was later arrested and placed in jail. A The money was re- covered and returned to Nau. * Mulcahy was sentenced to five years' imprisonment. ee COUNTERFEIT $10 BILLS. Canadian Bank of Commerce Issues Warning to the Public.

The financial assistance given by provement of agriculture is mater- ing this very desirable undertaking. An important and far-reaching measure has been adopted to pro- 'vide compensation to workmen for injuries sustained and for indus- trial diseases contracted in the courte of their employment. The general . agreement reached as to the leading features of this legisla- tion is a etriking tribute to the fair- 'ness and fullness of the inquiry made before framing the Bill, and is at the same time a' hopeful indi- cation for the success of the mea- sure in the future.

COAL MINED DISASTER. Thirteen Bodies Have Been Found In One Shaft. A despatch' from Eccles, W. Va.; cays: Rescue crews assembled 13 bodies at the foot of the shaft. in Mine No. b of the New, River Coal Company and continued their work of exploration in the' hope of locat- ing all of the 172 men who, it now seems certain, lost their, lives in the explosion last Tuesday after- noon. Pumps were kept going, and the mine was comparatively freed of water. But the force of the explo- sion was so great that masses of earth and rock were dislodged and the galleries choked. It may be days before the dead have been re- covered. - Hundreds of persons continue to surround the village, and there is little work in the district, miners and their families eongregating here to comfort those of their ~ friends who have suffered through the tra- gedy. sere rere $820,000 FOR ROADS.
