= The strikes in the coal-mining re-
gions of Pennsylvania are being compro-
missed, and q majority Of the mines are
now working. A portion of the federal

- 80 far from being dangerously sick
with cancer in tile stomach, Senator
David Davis protests that he 5as never
better in his life. Nobody seems to know
how the report of his illness got started.
but has given the Judge chance to find
out what people think of him, most of
the papers having concluded that his re-
ported disease presaged his early death,

= The Canadians are good deal dis
tnrbed and somewhat surprised at their
prospects of getting little or nothing from
tho arbitration on the fisheries question
between them and the United States, now
hearing the caae at Halifax. They mako

not helping Dom Pistaa cut on The quick
silver mine controversy from California,

office holders, the waiting ofice.saekers,
and the old political war-horses who find

atipg the so-called Bullock bonds,
amounting to some $6,0O0,OQ0, which
were tainted from the first, and which
were undoubtedly fraudulently issued

that he suffered o stroke Of paralysis in
