A report from Oerel, Russia, of  April 6th stated that a proclamation  against tbe Jews, which bad been  issued from tbe government printing-  office there, had been widely distributed among tbe people and an  Easier massacre was believed to be  a certainty.1        ,  Russia has submitted a plan to  President Roosevelt to re-convene  tbe Hague peace conference early  in tbe coming summer. The Netherlands have indorsed the proposal.  Since the disposition of the Alge-  ciras affair the powers are free to  act individually.  'A late Madrid despatch said: A  plot to assassinate the whole of the  Spanish royal family during holy  week has been discovered by the  authorities. Anarchists are said to  be the plotters. Details are meagre  as tbe censorship will not allow  news to be given out.  Actual-fighting occurred last week  at. the Edna mine near Irwin, Pa.  The   strikers   were ���licavilv armed  and kept up a steady fire upon the  strike breakers and prevented them  from working. Tbe coal operators  decided that il was unsafe lo try to  further introduce non-union men. -  - Tbe N. W. M. P. patrol which  left Dawson last December for, Fort  Macpherson," near the mouth of the  McKenzie . river, arrived back in  Dawson last week. The officer in  charge ol the patrol, Corp.

Many others  saved their lives by jumping from  tbe eighth story windows into the  iife nets. '��� Mr. Clapp, a club chef,  was injured by breaking through a  life net.  ' 1  At Moscow, ou April 3rd, a leading newspaper published telegrams  from a Harbin correspondent saying  hostilities are imminent between  Russian and Chinese troops. The  Chinese, influenced by Tapan, are  moving forward 011 the Russians.  Demobilization of tbe Russian army  had been stopped and General Groi-  doff, the Russian commander iu  chief, bad issued orders lo prepare  for an emergency and, if an .attack  is made, to occupy tbe Chinese  strongholds. Tbe situation was  becoming intense.  The Russian aud Chinese ministers in conference at Pekin over the  Matichurian question had, orr April  6th, failed to arrive at an agreement.  Russia demands that all the privileges she now enjoys iu Manchuria  be permanently guaranteed. On  the other hand it is the determined  policy of China to withstand all  foreign encroachments upon her  territory. Both countries have  powerful armies stationed in Manchuria ready for immediate action  and open hostilities ���. are liable to  break out at any time.      '"���'���  A Naples despatch of the 7th inst  says: Large streams of lava are  pouring from Mount Vesuvius,  which is again in active eruption,  aud from which the beat is felt for  miles.

Students   of   the    Hills.  Possibly'no class of. working people have so  great    an   opportunity  and   provocation   to read and study  as   intelligent   gold   miners.    As a  rule they work fewer hours   in   the  day,    and    nights.  Sundays and iu  stormy weather the quiet   of   their  cabins   is  undisturbed by the cares  of a family.    Persons   who   never  lead before do solo kill tlie lonesome  hours that maybe fullpf sad memories,'and to drive   away regrets   for  ill success.    By crowding  tbe mind  to repletion-they deaden the   fangs  of   "hunger of   tbe heart," which,  undiverted, would   often sink sadly,  in   its chamber when   no   familiar  voice   of   olden   time smote ou its  sounding   board.     In   the   outset,,  when nothing better could  be  had,  they may have read novels, good or  bad,   but it is entirely possible that  more is known in the cabin   homes  in western gold fields of the works of  standard authors in both poetry and  prose, than   within an equal area of  where these productions   emanated.  Now that other books in abundance  are   within   easy reach,  and  novel  reading is   left to   inferior   intelligence?, tbe higher order  of   minds  follow   the  pen tracks of the historian, poet  or essayist.    It is not uncommon   in   latter mining days on  cabin shelves to  find   Shakespeare.  Byron,    Macaulay,    historical     or  classical   works   ol   American   and  English   literature,   and   once   tbe  writer was more  than   surprised   at  finding, lucked between  the logs of  the cabin, a copy of  "Demosthenes  on    the   Crown."     Asking   "Who  reads Greek in lhis ranch?" a rough-  looking  man, kneading   bread, replied   that   he  "used to read il in a  New   Kugland   College,"'  and had  "brought it from home among other  traps.'*    fn  another instance iu the  northern mountains, a .Yale graduate  named Wells, who  bad come to the  land   of  gold with tbe early rush,  was   possessor   of   a   little  Hbr.iry  which vouched for his scholarly attainments   and   advanced    literary  taste.    But Wells   found' himself lo  be physically unequal to the task of  delving for gold, and   had   bravely  assumed   the  duties  of chef with a  prosperous mining.company, a position which he tilled with rare credit  to himself and the unbounded satisfaction of those be served.   An early  days friend who mined a few  years  showed the writer a copy of "Webster's  Unabridged"  which   hiuiself  and   companions   packed  all   over  Northern California, and to which  final reference was made in political  discussions. These may be extraordinary instances, but they'are  mentioned only as cases of devotion  lo letters under difficulties. "While  1 write the sail truth I hat very many  miners waste their spare hoursand  their money in places of dissipation,  il is gratifying to know that a great  number are more profitably occupied.  It is not easy to estimate the result of these quid hours, days and  months of cabin-home reading and  reflection. Possibly many a 'romance or poem has lent its aid as  the result of a pacific literature, to a  statesman, who arose lo prominence  independent of the lifting hooks of  party. Men whose genius has split  despotic thrones and made republics  of the fragments have come unheralded from among the people,  aud writers whose pens have left  traces of living lire have studied and  written in the obscurity of a hovel.  Within the humblest cottage'df the  masses, aud guided by a youth untried in battle, the v-pen of true  genius is as mighty as the sword of  the Corsican.���San Francisco Mining aud Engineering Review.
