PITTSBURG, Dec. 11.-Quiet reignS about
the Monongehela valley mines to-day. Not

there was no disturbance. The strikers
were around all night. but kept at safe
distance. The non-union men at Pine Run

warm reception. They were provided with
repeating rifles, and each man was given
fifty rounds Of ammunition. The strikers
did not put in an appearance, however, and
this morning the men went into the mines
as usual. Great excitement still prevails

SAVINGS BANKS.
An Effort to BE Made to Connect
Them With the Postal Service.


Them With the Postal Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-There is to be a
vigorous effort to get this congress to adopt
a system of savings banks in connection
with the postoffice department. An effort
is being made to show congress the
inadeouacy of the present savings bank sys-
tens of the United States and the lack of
confidence in them by the very poor. The
system which was introduced in Great
Britain has been a great success, and has
ROW extended to Belgium. Italy and the
Netherlands. At any postoffice savings
bank deposits are received of any
sum not less than shilling
Us cents nor more than $50 $3.50. In
one year. when the deposits amount to FL
1851. interest is allowed at the rate of 213
per cent. per annum. At every postoffice
blank forms can be obtained free of charge,
upon which one-penny (two-cent) postage
stamps can be affixed. and when the form
Is thus filed it will be received at
any pOstotfice savings bank as a deposit of
25 cents. Every depositor in postoffice
savings bank receives a deposit check BY
means of which he can make fresh deposits
or withdraw his money from any postoffice
savings bank in the United Kingdom The
popularity of this system is shown
by the fact that deposits in this postal saw
ingS' banks now amount to some $780,
900. 00O, while the number of deposits is
So, 600, 900. The real value of this system
is shown by the fact that it seems to have
actually created all these savings for bust
ress. The private savings banks in the
country have gone steadily on in the mean
time.

a Serious Deadlock.


BROCKToN, Mass, Dec. IA pro-
longed deadlock on the labor question and
the consequent idleness of forty-two fac
tories is now assured. After an agreement
to arbitrate was adopted ten days ago, both
employers and the Knights of Labor selected
their members OF the joint committee on

which eliminated in the decision to settle all
disputes according to the golden rule ould
result also in a speedy arrangement of a
price-list which would be mutually salts

ever, the joint committee has failed to agree,
and the situation is once more gloomy
The leaders have succeeded in many of the
factories in establishing the standard price
of cents pair on cheap, plain buff
shoes. and were trying to establish it in all
factories as standard of prices in that
grade of work. By their manifesto the
manufacturers reduced these prices to q Il
cents per pair on this grade Of work. and
they refuse by their representatives on the
joint committee to recede from this posi-
ton. Both sides profess an intention of
sticking it out.

day Senior Canovas declared that solid
union of the sections of the right had been
effected and the monarchial succession was
safe. The Carlists and Republicans, he
said were powerless. He described Senior

firm and vigilant. while Gen. Dominguez

INDIAN EDUCATIONAL FUND.
How 1t Was Spent During Schurz's
Regime.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-One of the adj
vantages of change of administration is
the opportunity it affords of letting
daylight into singular and ruinous
transactions. There has recently been an
investigation of the Indian educational
funds, and the results are interesting. In
1919 congress established such a fund by
providing for an annual appropriation of
$4,000 for the education of In
dams. This was repealed in 1867,
but the fund was at the same re-establiShed
to consist of the proceeds of quantity of
land ceded by the Osages to the United
States. The fund had amounted in 1881 to
800, 600, OF which all but S11, 600 had then
been spent OF the whole, some 1852. 900
had been spent in three and half Yeas,
between 1877 and 1881, while Carl Schurz
was secretary. and Mr.. Hoyt commissioner
of Indian affairs. In one Of his reports
Secretary Teller, acting on erroneous in
formation supplied by the Indian office,
said that of the 1852, 900. $4,000 was
SPENT DIRECTLY
for educational purposes and the rest for
articles of utility designed to promote the
civilization of the Indians. The fact is just
the reverse. About $4,000 was
spent directly for educational purposes and
$3.50, 900 was spent for so-called articles of
utility. These articles were enough, but
they were bought at fancy prices, in need
lessly large quantities and bought with
money that was set apart for
the education Of the Indians.
Scores of wagons for which there
was no use were sent to Indian reserva-
tions. Some hundreds of plows were sent
70 one of the Northern apencieieS and
and they are there yet. The metal is eaten
with rust, and the handles have rotted
out. No one of them ever turned a
furrow. In one month of 1878 So, 900 of
the education fund was spent in buying to-
bacco for Indians. In 1873 $1,000
was spent for a revolving and
immoral purpose, and the money came out
of the educational fund. OF course
there was a great deal more money to be
put i'll contracts by spending the educational
fund for general supplies than there would
have been had money been spent for the
purpose for which it was set apart.

Western Union Taxes.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec lit was
rumored about the capital to-day that the
old dispute between the Western Union
Telegraph company and the city of New
York had been revived and that the sheriff on
Thursday served an Injunction on the Off
GERS of the company in New York city, to
recover the amount of taxes, 500, 900, by
that corporation. By shrewd move the
publicity of the fact has been kept from the
public until now. 1t was also rumored that
determined effort would be made tonight
to have the attorney general take immedi-
ate action in the matter and leave the
further prosecution of the case until the
session of the legislature, when the COM
pany will endeavor to be relieved from the
tax.

MONTEREY, Mex, Dec. 11.-Alarming
reports in regard to the progress of the revo-
luton are being received here. At Galena
the revolutionists are in charge of the city

The state legislature passed urgency meas
ures this afternoon for the purpose of sucur-
ing a larger organization of troops for the
defense of the state capitol. The state

legal authorities. Reports are current that
ex-President Gonzales has 6, 900 men in the
state of Guanguato, and that Gen. Fallen

ready to take up arms in defense of the con-
stitutional rights Of the state of Nuevo

dana for Monterey yesterday afternoon.
They expect to arrive there Sunday. when
