LONDON, Aug. 19.-As a sequel to the OPP
position of the Radicals and others in parlia-
ment TO making grants for the support Of
the children of the prince of Wales the
prince has received an anonymous lstter in
which the writer deplores the conduct of the
Radicals, sympathizes with his royal high
ness in the unpleasant position In viii; their
agitation placed him, and last bus by no
means least, he gives proof of the sincerity
Of his sympathy by enclosing ten crisp new
bank of England notes, each of the denomi-
nation of a thousand pounds.
No name is signed to the communication,
and the writer has been at such rains to
avoid leaving any clue to his identity, that
no one is prepared even to guess who he can
be. The prince himself has no suspicion of
any one; but, in any event, it is net likely
that the police will be asked to interfere to
drag this modest specimen of British loyalty
from his anonymous retreat

that ranges in Chouteau county which here
tofore have escaped, and on which cattlemen
were depending to keep thousands of heads of
cattle, are on fire and all the big companies

Surrounded by the Flames.
In Deer Lordge county the town of
Georgetown is surrounded by fire, and a
strong wind brought the flaihes within five

Metallic Mining company near that town is
in great danger, and the fire is travelling
toward 1t with great rapidity. Couriers who
arrived at Phillipsburg from Georgetown at

CHICAGO, Aug. l9-The conference
between the IN ne owners and their late en-
ployes came 10 an end at O'clock Saturday
afternoon, when motion to adjourn was
carried after formal refusal of the miners

operators for a longer time than until Oct

proposition of a. cents a ton aftes Oct and
they was no hope of an agreement being

the operators left at once for their homes
Wines Appeals Without Avail.
Rev. Mr. Wines prevented the conference
breaking up two or three times by appealing
to the conferrees to try again, but there was
no use. The operators were fixed in their
conclusion that there was no money IN min
ing coal if they paid more than 721S
cents, and the miners were equally
determined to have IS cents after

that failure to agree might aud probably
would result in serious turbulence. But

Took a Political Turn.
The presence of Congressman Lawler and
other politicians opposed To the republican
party in this business has given the matter a
decided political color. Hon. W l.. Scott
of Pennsylvania, ON Friday declared that he
would accede to the reasonable demands Of
his miners regardless of decision by the
other operators, thus practically withdraw
ing from the conference, which was presided
over by appointees Of Governor FIfer, and
the talk here Is that the trouble will be made
to do duty in the next campaign. Both parties
here are watching developments very closely.
