A despatch from Edmonton, Al- berta, says: A daring and success- ful escape was made on Wednesday by two convicts at Edmonton Peni- tentiary. The men are John C. Atkinson, undergoing a five-year sentence, and Jack Johnson, the negro who assaulted the guard some months ago, and who has an indefinite sentence of about six years of imprisonment to serve. The men are thought to be hiding in the bush, which lies severil miles north and east of tho prison yards. The manner of their escape indicates the daring of the two men, and the apparent carelessness of several guards who were stationed on sen- try duty on the fence and armed with Ross rifles and repeating re- volvers. Atkinson and Johnson were working on the excavation fo^ the new cell block, to the rear oi the present building, and near th« centre of the prison yard. Other convicts were at the other end of the excavation, and scattered ia various directions throughout the yard. Atkinson and Johnson, how- ever, were alone wheeling clay from the excavation, which was about four feet deep. Suddenly they seized a long plank, on which were cleats, which was used for running their wheelbarrows up to the sur- face. With this they ran to th* east end of the fence, about eight feet di.stant, and placing it against the wall, were soon up and over, taking cover in the brush. by 30 to 50c than last week.

BATTll NEAB P ITTSBUHE Strikers Attack Vessel and Rifles Used at the Pressed Steel Company's Works. A despatch from Pittsburg, Penn., says: Wednesday was a day of most fearful rioting at the mills <.f the Pressed Steel Car Company BC McKee's Rocks, six miles below Pittsburg. At least one hundred persons were injured in gun bat- tles, by thrown rocks and clubs, and at midnight one thousand angry strikers were grouped around the works, each with a half brick or a gun. Eight persons were so seriously injured in the clashes that they could not be hurried away by their friends. Three of those injured badly in the Ohio Valley Hospital cannot speak English, and their names cannot be learned. Late Wednesday evening the Steel Queen, a steamer owned by the Pressed Steel Company, and supposedly filled with strike-break- er«, attempted to enter the mill yards from the Ohio River through • w«tei fftte and was fired on by tkre* hnodrad «trikera on the river Msk. Jhom op the Steel Queen H ia W B d IM be promptly, and probably a hundred shots were fired before the boat turned about and ran for the opposite shore of the Ohio River. The Pressed Steel Car Company is now in close communication with the authorities at Washington, ask- ing that something be done at once, because the Steel Queen was ply- ing on United States waters at the time the strikers opened fire on her. At least half a dozen of the strikers appearetl to have been hit by bullets from the Steel Queen's marksmen, but it is not known whe- ther any on the vessel was hit or not. The Steel Car Company de- clares none of their men were in- jured. Dr. Davidson of the Ohio Valley Hospital says that he dressed the wounds of nineteen seriously in- jured persons on Wednesday, whose names he did not glean, ana each of whom declined to remain in the hospital. In addition to this, scores were attended to by other physicians in the hospital, while the physicians in town have been busy Since noon bi.TcIing up woi\nd3. \. BRITISH MINERS MAY STRIKE Object of Struggle in Support ot Scotch Miners. A despatch from London sayst The Miners' Confederation of Great Britain, after a prolonged meeting, has decided in favor of ballotting its million members as to whether or not a national strike shall be declared in support of the Scottish niiners, who are resisting a wage reduction of sixpence a day. The ballot will not be completed before July 27, and the Executive Commit- tee of tho Confederation will meet July 23 to take action on the result. The present feeling seems to bo in favor of the stoppage of all mines, a condition w hich would entail prac- tically the complete paralyzation of British industry. In view of the> consequent e.xpected shortage in the coal supply, many factories already have served notice to their einployes of the termination of contracts. "^^
