adverse to the compromise agreement
made by the Joint conference of oper
ators aud miners continue to arrive at
the national headquarters of tle Un
ited Mine Workers. The mas-s of ttie
! miners seemingly are blind to the real
! situation that force! a compromise to
save defeat and demoralization, aud
bolh l"resldeht John McBrido and
! cretary Fatrick McBryde are becoming
! impatient at the obstinacy of tho-ie who
are willing to look only at the prevail
ing condition!. The threat made in
! quarters of deserting the United Mine
I Workers and organizing another union,
with A. A. Adams, of Ohio, president,
and James Murray, of Illinois, secre
I tary, does not disturb the present olli
; cers. The latter feel that they h ive done
the very best poss ble for the interests
' of the miners throughout the country
; and the more conservative and intelli
gent ot the miners will unquestionably
figree with them. So positive are the
present ollicers, who have every means
of being informed as to the condition
! oi thu men, not a few of whom are
J actually suffering for want of food,
that they are willing to and will step
I down and out if the agreement be cot

i messages received at headquarters de-
nounce the agreement it is expecied
that the tide will turn when the ollicial
circular mailed from the headquarters
shall reach the men. The miners have
ail ah.ng had in their strike the sym
pathy of the general public in Ohio,
but if they fail now to ratify the com
promise, and continue the struggle that

breaks of violence, this will be turned
against them. Adams and Murray are

the Sultan of Morocco, is dead, and the
indications are that he has been mur

who has succeeded his father to the
throne. The Sultan died, presumably
from poisoning, June 7, while he was

Rabat. Muley Hassan was born in

and of his cousin, Muley Kddris,
Tlie late Sultan appreciated the im

Mediterranean aud he had worked both
French and Kngiish Cabinets on that
score. His death may cause more in

that is England will never allow

English were once in possession of a
' portion of the country, with Tangier as
the depot. Volunta-ily abandoned as
it was, national pri .e would not allow
another power to take possession, and
the French failure in Algeria is, com
mercially speaking, a proof that the
