NO PATENT MEDICINE THUST.
The proposed combination of manufactur
ers of proprietary medicines and wholesale
druggists apuiust department stores and
other dealers who cut tbe prices of these
medicines , as recently proposed lu New
York , has proved a failure. According to
prominent delegates the prdmoters of the
scheme discorerod that they could not oper
ate tbo coupon plan without coming in con
tact with the national anti-trust law and the
plan was therefore dropped. They also found
that sererol states have special statutes that
would be violated by the" operation of tbo
system. Their legal udrlsers said that it
would be impossible to maintain any scheme
by which sereral manufacturers could corn-
bine for the mutual maintenance of tbe prices
of their sereral commodities.

THE COMING GIGANTIC STRIKE.
"On the first day of May,1' said Colonel
William P. Rend , the great coal operator tea
a reporter for the Evening Post today , "there
will pe Inaugurated the most extensive and
foimidallestriko that has ever occured in the
coal mining industry of.tho country. Ten days
from now over two hundred thousand miners ,
employed in the cool regions of Pensylranlo ,
Ohio , Indiana , Illinois and Iowa and other
coal producing states , will almost to n man
throw down their picks and unitedly demand
an eight-hour day. Behind the miners tbo
federation of labor stands pledged to their
support. The order to suspend work to enforce
this demand has already gone forth from
the officers of tbe miners' national union.
The mine owners avow their determination
to resist this demand and fight It to the bit
ter end. The lines are already tightly drawn ,
and a conflict , determined in its character
and of the grareit consequence , not only to
tbe mining interests but to the general inter
ests of a large portion of the country , is now
about to take place. If this strike assumes
the magnitude now threatened , and should
continue for a period of eren thirty
days , it will do injury more widespread -
spread and more serious than any strike
that bas erer occurred in the United
Status. The hope of nrerting this disaster
alone lies in tbo briefness of the struggle. It
is a question whether such a rast army of
idle men can bo sustained and held together
for eren a brief period of two or three woeics
by the support of outside aid promised by
the federated unions. "

should make no mistake about the pasltton of
Russia on tbo coming arbitration of the
Behring sea question. I know the views of
the government , although it would not bo fair
to bold it responsible for my words.
In the first place there is nothing on record
here to show that Russia intended to eonrer
to the United States any special rights in the
open waters of Behring sea. The sale of
Alaska was the result of private negotiations
between Edward Stoeckl and Secretary of
State Seward. Russia purposely left the
question of special jurisdiction or special
privileges in the sea out of the bargain. The
whole matter , so far ns I can nscer
tain , was intentionally put aside. Any
attempt to draw Uussia out of this rajue and
reserved position would hare been evaded
or resisted. The Hussiaa government had
met wltb little success in its efforts to estab
lish eitber exclusive or partial control over
the Behring sea. The question had become
embarrassing and the miulttry was not
anxious to incorporate or fix such a trouble
some issue in a treaty of sale. The more
Blaine searches for evidence on this point
the more ho will bo convinced that when
Alaska was sold to the United States the late
czar and his ad risers ceased to regard the
claim to cD.-.trol the sea as an important one.
At this moment Kussiu believes that it is I in-
possible to maintain a closed sea.
Mr. Blaiuo has of course already
abandoned that claim in most explicit
languaco , but now coines the most delicate
point , the right of ths United States to pro
tect seals while they are passing tbrough
tbe high spa from one feeding ground to
another. Russia has tbe same rk-nts as the
United States on her own side of the sea.
Tbe moral effect of a decision In the contro
versy between the United States and Great
Britain trill bo to sorao extent binding on
Russia. The Russian view of the matter is
therefore extremely Important. I may say
that while Russia regards the right of pro
tecting seals even on the high seas as Inher
ent in a nation to which the rookeries belong -
long , this right is so modified by the inter
nationally of all high seas and
by the contiguity of British jurisdic
tion , that the only way to close the great
controrersy Is to acknowledge a limited con
sultation right on the part of Great Britain
and then provide for the protection of seals
and the seal industry by an agreement be
tween the United States , Russia and Great
Brjtaiu. This is the Russian view. All
other propositions are tegarded as untrust
worthy , besides it must not be forgotten
that the great Siberian railway which is to
reach Vladirostek , will within a generation
lead to a union of Alaska and Siberia by rail
nt Behring straits. Russians are not blind to
the fact that there will be important com
mercial routes across the disputed waters In
the future and It is necessary to settle all
questions of jurisdiction now. As for the
present arbitration , I have reason to believe
Russia would bo satisfied with either the
king of Sweden , or Detter still , the president
of the Swiss confederation.
Byrnes' Italian Decoration.
ROME. April 21. [ Special Cablegram to
THE BEE. ] Replying to SIgnor Imbriaul's
Interpolation In the chamber of deputies
today in regard to the decoration recently
conferred by the kinc of Italy upon Chief
Inspector Byrnes of New York , and which
was declined by the latter , the Marquis di
Rudinl , the prime minister , said that the
decoration referred to had been conferred
with the usual forms , adding that it was a
tririal incident which did not merit being
discussed in parliament.
Signer Imbriaui , after tbo Marquis di
Hudlnl bad made the above statement , said
in reply that he Interpolated the govern
ment upon the subject at the request of the
Italian citizens of New Vork city , who were
desirous that a decoration should not bo
offered to a person who was prerentod by the
laws of his country from receirlnp such an
honor. Rudinl said that the Italian gov
ernment had assured itself before hand that
the decoration of Inspector Byrnes would bo
permitted by the police authorities and con
sequently the refusal of the inspector to ac
cept it was not worthy of attention.
Ijnrtl Snlihlniry on Ireland.
LOXPOX , ipril 21. At a largely attended

this generation must solro the Irish question.
Tbo coming election , however , would not
solro It , as , whlcherer way the election went ,
the other party would have no rest ns far as
the Irish question was concerned. Parnell's
succei.s would be one 01 the eroatcst blows
the empire could receive and the success of
the anti-Parnellites no less dangerous. Par-
uell had the bj-mpalhy and money of Ameri
can conspirators , while McCarthy repre
sented the secular efforts of people of high
spiritual rank in the Romish church. Ho bad
not the slightest intention of speaklnp indig
nantly of Roman Catholics , but desired to
warn them of the dangers which arose from
ministers of nuy religion using their posi
tions as religious teachers as a means of fig
uring as political leaders. Yet English elec
torate was asked to place Ireland under this
hybrid , .secular , ecclesiastical power.
