Consul Forster's Naturalization.

Washington Special.
Later advices received at the State Depart
ment about the Charles Forster incident show
that the latter was wronged. 1t seems that
when Forster took the oath of Office and was re-
quired to furnish his naturalization papers in
proof of his citizenship he stated that those pa
pers had been lost He was told to procure GER
titled copy of the paper and send it to the depart
meut Forster wrote to the clerk of the court
at Evansville, Ind, where he had been natural
lied years ago, and asked for copy of the GER
tifcate of naturalization, and that it be sent to
the State Department When the paper arrived
here it was found to be not copy, but an orig
inal naturalization certificate, dated Nov. T. 1885.
OF course it was then presumed that Forster had
just been naturalized, which proves to have been
an unjust mistake, which this explanation salts
factory clears.

Valley Still Open.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 17-All the coal opera
tors of the Hooking valley held meeting this
forenoon, with the exception of W. P. Rend, of
Chicago, who is reported having granted an ad-
vance to his miners, who would all be at work
to-day. Operators say they have received no
information of an advance by Rend except at
Straitsville, where the men were preparing to go
to work this morning but the drivers struck for
an advance to $1.75 per day, and nine hours
which has caused another delay. Miners were
only asking an advance to sixty cents, and the
operators here think that the statement attrbu-
ted to Rend that he had agreed to pay seventy
cents is mistake, as he could have object in
doing so. The operators hold another meeting
to discuss the situation this evening.
