Miners and Operators.

PITTsBURG, Nov. Is. The river coal operators
met this afternoon and appointed a commit
tee to meet similar committee of miners
next Friday, to discuss the necessity for a
present mining reduction in the fourth pool,
and to arrange fer the appointment of a
board of arbitration similar to the one
which has been so successful in settling the
difference between the railroad operators and
the miners. The action of the operators to-
day WILL of course, avert the strike ordered
by the miners for the 10th inst. The board,
if appointed, will arbitrate upon and regu-
late the prices of mining in all four river

DISEASED CATTLE.
Discussed by the American Public Health AS
sociation in Session at Des Moines.

DETROIT, Nov. 13.-The American Public
Health Association began its eleventh an
nual meeting in this city this morning, presi-
dent DR.. Ezra NJ. Hunt, of New Jersey, in
the chair. The attendance of members is
large, delegates being present from nearly
every State in the Union and Canada. The
majority of the men are we'll known in sani-
tary matters or are officers of State boards of
health and municipal health boards.
The session began with prayer by Bishop
Harris, of Michigan. After the formal re-
ports of the secretary, treasurer and stand
ing committees the regular programme of
papers was begun. DR.. d. e. Salmon, of the
Department of Agriculture, Washington,
read paper on Texas cattle fever" He
took a strong ground in favor of the exist
ence OF disease belt in the Southern
States from which it is dangerous to eX-
port cattle. Colonel Joseph Smith of the
army. said that Texas cattle fever is a chimera.
He was followed by Dr. Ranch Miller, of the
State Board of Health, and DR.. Hillary
rRyan, of Texas. The latter supported his
sopini0II Of the contagiousness of this disease.
;Dr ]. NJ. Partridge. of South Bend, Ind,
advocated similar views in paper respect

has prevailed since 1874 He was followed
TDy paper on tne ulSeaSe among CaIIle
known as swell head by DR.. William Bel
ford, of Chicago. Professor Law, of Cornell
University, claimed that the disease was not
of recent discovery in America, but had
been known under various other names, and
also asserted that it was not restricted to
grain-eatng animals, but effected dogs,
among others.
AT the afternoon session, George NJ. Stern
berk, surgeon of the United States army,
read a paper on "Etiology of malaria"
He presented statistical tables tending to
prove that the cause of malaria was in inn
pure water, infected with decomposing vege-
table matter the disease being aggravated
by heat. The facts showed that it was much
more prevalent in Southern than Northern
States.
Surgeon Charles Smart, of the United
States Army, read paper on the prevention
of malarial disease. The Only practical rem
edy suggested was to cease using impure
drinking water and adopt a means to purify
the streams, wells and cisterns used by the
people for supplies.
In the evening Governor Begole gave an
address of welcome to the association on be-
half of the State Dr. VIM. Brode, of this
city, on behalf of Detroit and DR.. John
Avery, president of the State Board of Health,

CHINA's MILITARY FORCE.
Facts and Figures Which the French
Would DO Well to Consider.

Facts and Figures Which the French
Would DO Wei to Consider.
Paris Special to London Times
Before persevering further in course
which is almost certain to bring about war,
the French would do well to consider the
condition of the Chinese force which they
may have to encounter. China is in very
different condition from that which she oc-
cupied twenty years ago. There is q force
of 100000 men under the Viceroy of Pechili
for the protection of Pekin and the east
coast of the empire, divided into two army
corps, one of which is 45, 600 and the other
So, ,00O OF the gross number S5,0 900 are in
fantry, 1900 artillery, and 1000 cavalry
The infantry and artillery are trained ac-
cording to German regulations, and are
armed with modern breech-loaders
This does not take into account the
$4,000 men, who are likewise European
drilled and armed, who are stationed in
Manchuria and northwest China. In Pekin
itself there is further Tartar force of $4,000
effective men and 10000 under training
These are drilled within the Imperial Park,
the entrance of which is forbidden to
strangers. With these, in addition to the
100 00G men to protect Pechii and the sea-
coast, it is not unreasonable to assume that
$4,000 men can be spared to form a nucleus
for a large army in the south. That these
men can be easily transported is evident
from the fact that in 1880 no fewer than
$4,000 men were massed near Newchang, in
the northeast of the empire, besides large
forces at other places, by the use of the
Chinese steamer companies and transports

THE GERMAN GROWN PRINCE.


A Man Whom the French Regard with
Anything but Favor.
LONDON, Nov. 13.-Prince Imperial Fred
erick William, of Germany is the present
bugbear of the French Republicans. They
regard him as the future instrument of ter
dangerous outcome of German federation,
and possessed of more craft and ambition
than his father and Prince Bismarck together
The Republican journals are growing daily
more alarmed over the coming visit of Prince
Fritz to King Alfonso, and are pointing out
to Spain the imprudence of giving their Ger
man visitor too pronounced a welcome. 1t is
gravely stated by those papers that the visit
should be looked upon with suspicion as
German trick to get Spain into trouble Too
warm a royal friendship between Spain
and Germany, it is said, will eventually be
used by Germany for the purpose of making
Spain mere instrument of Germany's am
bition, and that Germany will practically
make Spain her vassal. Alfonso is warned
that the statesmen of Spain perceive the
meaning of Germany's friendly overtures,
and that any weakness he may betray for
German tlattery may cost him his throne
because the Spaniards will not allow them
selves to be sold into vassaiage.
Barcelona telegram says: "It has been
discovered that a conspiracy among the
Frenchmen here has been organized for the
purpose of treating the German Prince I'm
perial with similar insults to those offered to

Conkling's Prophecy.


New \ ork Truth.
By the by, considering the results of the
Virginia election recalls to mind and memory
the prophecy of Roscoe Cohkling, made, if
| remember rightly, in the fall of 1877, which
l have never repeated before-at least for
publication. 1t would be we'll to reproduce
Mr. Conkling's words at this iuncture for
they were remarkable. We were chatting,
in company with few other gentlemen,
at Wormley!s, and the subject of our con-
versation was the rationale of Hayes's
Southern policy. AS nearly as I can remem-
ber, after so long an interval, Mr.. Conkling
said:
"The true political question in this country
is not between parties, but between civiliza-
tions, each type of civilization utilizing party
organization as an instrument The line of
demarkation is as thoroughly geographical
and the conflict along that line as irrepress-
ible now as in the time of Mr.. Seward Mr..
Hayes's policy, predicated upon the idea of
breaking the solid South, is a farce based
upon a chimera. No political effort or ex-
pertinent will prove effective in disrupting
the solidity of the South. The question now
is, and in twenty years hence will be-
whether the Northern majority shall control
the destinies of the country in peace rs it
had determined them in war, or a Southern
minority regain by diplomacy, exercised
upon weak minds what it had lost through
force welded by strong arms. In short gem
tlemen the United States are not composed
OF thirty eight States, but of two nations,
and having distinctive social system and
party management appropriate to its social
condition. The only question is, which of
these two nations shall control-the lesser

ought to control, and | have lived in and

In these days of long life it would not be

Prince Bismarck's catarrh becomes increas-
ingly troublesome, and he has had to give
up his cigar and his glass of wine. The EN-
peror, it is said, was never better, and still
enjoys his wine and tobacco. 1t is remark
able that, although he has long been famous
as one of the most vigorous men of his time
William [ was an exceedingly feeble child
1t was not, indeed, until he gave himself up
to military exercises that he became robust.
The Kaiser has always been a very moderate
man, and to this day his dinner rarely con-
sists of more than five dishes, from which he
makes choice. Although the cellars of the
imperial palace at Berlin are full of the
finest wines of all countries, including the
Rhine vintages of the famous years 1920 and
1850, ''of which the bouquet alone is a
poem" the Emperor rarely touches them
and usually contents himself with glass or
two of somewhat ordinary Moselle.
