The Reason Assigned for the
Scarcity of MINERS.

The Reason Assigned for the
Scarcity of MINERS.
PITTsBURG, May 24.-TEere is such
a scarcity OF miners on the Monon-
gahala river reported that less than
one-third of the mines between Nc
Keesport and Brownsville, are in full
operation. The operators give several
reasons for this condition of affairs.
Some attribute it to the fact that dur
ing last years strike large numbers of
miners obtained other employment and
did not return to the mines after the
strike. Others put it down to the long
dry spell. The miners explain the fact
by stating that the difference Of one
fourth cent in wages in favor Of the
railroad mines has caused large
migration from the river to the rail
road. Another reason given by them
is that miners in England, Scotland
and Germany have been so well posted
by their returning friends on the
present state of the American labor
market that the stream of immigration
to this country has been prsc ically
stopped. Many miners from those coun-
tries, who had been on the river for
several years have returned home dis
gusted at the low wages now ruling.

The Canadian Press on the Fishery
Question.

Question.
TORONTO, May 26-The Globe says:
"The people of the United States, we
hope, will not approve Of the seizure
Of the Nova Scotian schooner Sisters, Z
made at Portland, Maine, Monday.
The master Of the Sisters proved by
going to the custon-honset to have made
the usual entry. and had no idea Of
acting illegally. When the fishery
clauses of the Washington treaty
ceased to be observed, the Canadian
government did not drive the United
States fishing vessels out Of its waters
at once, or seize those that persisted in
taking fish. 1t consented to an ar
rangement which allowed Americans
to fish from the 1st of July to the close
of the season without compensation
When, at the opening Of the present
season, Canada found ii necessary 10
enforce the tenor of the treaty Of 1918.
ample warning was given to all con.
cerned. If the Udited States govern
ment saw fit, by way of reprisals, to
require the Canadian fishing vessels
taking their catch of fresh fish to a
United States port to be provided with
manifest, they should have given
timely notice which mustlbe affected by
strict enforcement of the law in this.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Mr. Parnell
and his followers are indebted to their
supporters In america for many sub
stantial evidences of strong sympathy,
and now the American Contingent Of
Loyalists is preparing to take a hand
in the contest, incitel to action by fire.
quenJ public demonstrations Of ap.
proval Of Gladstone's measures lately
made by the Nationalist element in the
United States, who claim the Ulster
district as the birth place or who have
relatives or friends there, have taken
steps to make known to the people in
North Ireland that they have sympa-
thizers in this country, and that they
look to them for aid in case it shall be
required. On May 4th the Grand Lodge
Of Orangemen Of the State OF New
York, met in Oswego, and passed reso-
lutions censuring Gladstone, denounc.
ing Pdrnell, and offering assistance to
the anti. .NatioDalists. Grand Master

patch:
To VIM. johnson, Member Of South Belfast to
Parliament:
Grand Orange Lodge, New York,
protests against Parnell, Gladstone &
Co.'S Home Rule bill. We will help the
Loyalists.
The reply to this came: "Many
thanks; johnson will write"
The letter indicated in the latter dis
patch is expected soon, and will be
read at the next meeting of the State
Grand Lodge, to be held in Troy, on
June Sth. when it is expected that be-
tween 500 and 500 delegates will be
present from all parts of the country,
and that measures will be formulated
for giving effective assistance to the
Loyalists.
