STRIKE IS ON AGAIN
COAL MINES OF NORTHERN IL

LINOIS TIED UP
Diggers Gather Under Kateli fords
Banner and Demand the Springfield
Schedule Operators Are Angry and
Say a Crisis Is at Hand
Miners Vote to Quit
The miners mass meeting at Coal City
111 voted unanimously to resume Hie
strike throughout the Wilmington-Braid-wood
district The decision affects the
mines at Carbon Hill Diamond and Coal
City and postpones pending settlement in
other tinviis except -where the full scale is
paid The miners will contend for the
gross weight scale as adopted at Sprmg
lield They will ignore the propositions
offered by the operators based on a screen
scale It is the purpose to abolish the
whole system as speedily as possible even
at a sacrifice in the price per ton if nec
essary
The miners at Braceville who were the
first la return to work at the 77 cent
rale were all busy in the mine when Pres
ident Kntchford and a small army of
strike leaders readied the town After
some delay 150 English speaking miners
met in Malcolms nail where Mr Hatch
ford addressed them He told them they
had lost 2 cents a Ion by returning to
work before the Streator convention Ho
said the operators at Streator had offered
practically to settle at a figure Hjuivaimt
to SO cents in the Wilmington held lie

XOPTHERX ILLINOIS MIXIXG DISTRICT
told the miners they too could secure
the advance if they would but insist on it
and suspend work until the union officials
and operators could get together and set
tle on a uniform scale Before Mr liatch
ford had finished the men were wildly en
thusiastic and when the vote was taken
every man voted to resume the strike
From Braceville Mr Ratchford and his
brother officials drove across country to
Coal City where 400 miners were gath
ered Speeclimaking took up the entire
afternoon There was no dissenting voice
on the vote to resume the strike for ten
dajs or until the operators would agree to
arbitrate
President Batchf ord and several miners
officials held a conference at Streator
with several operators Saturday morning
A Tj Sweet of Chicago talked for the
operators He declared he for one would
never arbitrate He said he did not know
a man in the State wborn he would trust
to arbitrate a difference between work
men and employers He believed the men
always got the best of it
The indications are that the entire
northern Illinois mining district will be
tied up again A letter from the district
chairman at Springfield contained the in
formation that a committee of miners had
had a conference with Gov Tanner on
the Chinese proposition and that the
Governor had not only said that he would
not permit the importation of Chinamen
but that there should be no Gatling guns
to coerce the men back into the mines
The Governor said that if he found that
the operators were building stockades
about the mines he would see that they
were torn down The Governor referred
to the Chicago ex policemen who it was
said were to be sent there to protect non
union men and said that he would
promptly send them back to their homes
To ail outward appearance the importa
tion of Chinamen has ceased to be a bug
aboo with the miners and there is scarce
ly one who can be found now who be
lieves that the companies will ever make
such an attempt They rest their cause
on public opinion and say tlie operators
will not dare to do that which they know
would precipitate riot and bloodshed

SEALING COMES FIRST
The International Conference Begins
in Washington
The experts representing the three gov
ernments the United States England and
Canada assembled at the Stale Depart
ment in Washington There were pres
jont Messrs Jordan Thompson and Mc
Coun In addition Gen Foster and Mr
Hamlin were in attendance for the united
States and Sir Louis Daries for Canada
Sir Julian Pauncefote sent a note excus
ing himself from coming on account of
illness
The meeting lasted for about an hour
and presumably the proceedings were
mainly preliminary and designed to out
line a plan of procedure Mr Hamlin
was elected chairman It was officially
i stated that the proceedings were in the
sense that nothing1 could be given out for
publication before the end of the delib
erations The treaty which was negotiat
ed last week between the United States
and Japan and Russia for the further
protection of the seals was not referred
to in the first meeting although its gen
eral provisions are known to the British
delegates The feature of the treaty is
said to be the short time it is to continue
in force the limit being one year
President Mclvinley received Sir Wil
frid Laurier premier of Canada in the
blue room at the White House Secre
tary Sherman introduced Sir Wilfrid
who Avas accompanied by Sir Julian
Pauncefote British ambassador Sir Louis
Davies and Prof Thompson the British
seal expert The viit was entirely for

The Canadian premier received callers
in very democratic fashion at liis apart
ments in the Shoreham but to all he gave
the reply that it would be manifestly pre
mature at this stage for him to discuss
the outlook on the Bering sea question
or any other subjects which concern the
United States and Canada lie and Sir
Louis desired first to communicate with
the seal experts of the United States and
Great Britain before indicating any
course of action He made it clear also
that they would give their exclusive at
tention to this subject until some con
clusion was reached and that other ques
tions such as reciprocity border immi
gration etc would not be referred to un
til the first purpose of the visit was ac
complished It was stated that the offi
cial purpose of the visit was to consider
the Bering sea matter and that future
circumstances would develop how far oth
er questions would be opened to consid
eration
FARMERS CONGRATULATED
An Improvement in the Price of Most1
Products of the Farm
The National Grange Patrons of Hus
bandry convened in the Supreme Court
chamber at Harrisburg Pa Delegates
from almost all the States represented in
the national body were present National
Master J H Brigham assistant Secre
tary of Agriculture was in the chair and
submitted his annual report He said
Wo have reason to rejoice over the marked
improvement in the prices of most products
of the farm The prices now received are
not burdensome to the consumer but re
munerative to the farmer and if maintained
will cause a marked advance in the value
of farm lands It is also a highly gratifying
sign of the times that tlie business failures
in the South and Southwest in July Au
gust and September of the present year rep
resented in the aggregate of their liabilities
only 4n94000 as compared with 11498
000 during the corresponding period of the
preceding year
Earnest efforts are being made to extend
our markets in foreign countries and to se
cure tlie abolition of the discriminating re
strictions and prohibitions unjustly main
tained by certain foreign countries against
the agricultural products
Congress will undoubtedly be urged by In
terested associations to appropriate large
sums of money to build dams reservoirs and
canals for the purpose of irrigating the arid
lands of the West It is not the policy of
our grange to espouse the cause of any po
litical party or indorse the policies advo
cated by either but when the people have
settled the questions at issue we accept
their decision and try to secure for agricul
ture fair treatment in the legislation carry
ing into effect the policy indorsed by tho
people
