Monarchy Is now openly talked OF
among the monied classes. "a stronger

of capitalists" a plutocracy In which
a few persons will be "the four hundred" "
a few will be the professional class, in
cluding the clergy, lawyers, doctors, and
scientists, TO be consulted in times Of
need by the class first named, but not ad-

THE NEW COKE SCALE.

Operators Believe the 4. of L. Want TO
Break the AEreement-To Get a New
Scnle-FieurinR on the Prices.
Superintendent Lynch yesterday stated
that not five per cent of the men in the re-
gion understood the meaning of the scale
just presented and he did not believe that
the Scale Committee themselves had gone
into the figures TO ascertain what the ad-
vance would be or they would not have pre-
sented it. He said the Scale Committee
generally are able and fair men and when
they were shown how impracticable the
scale was that they would drop it. He did
not think that there would be any trouble
between the representatives of the men and
the operators.
Superintendent Lynch objects to the in
depreciation placed by the X. of L. on the
agreement, and thinks that their object is
to violate the old agreement with the view
OF getting a new one. He says that during
the Is months his firm had sliding scale
with the men they received about 20 per
cent more wages than their fellows at other
mines. Subsequently, another agreement
was made, and broken. Finally, another
agreement was brought about by the in
fuence of the Frick, Coke Company. Now
it is claimed by the operators that the K. of
L. people have served notice on them to
terminate the agreement in direct violation
of its terms. They give the men credit for
being honest in their intentions, and think
it strange that the men did not accept the
proposition to submit it for construction to
any judge in Western Pennsylvania.
A schedule is being prepared showing
first, the rate of wages paid at present; sec
ond, the rate this proposed new scale on
81 so coke and on 81 20 coke; also showing
the rates paid under the old Frick scale on
81 80 coke aud 81 75 coke. The rates paid
under the old Frick scale were higher all
the time than were paid by the rest Of
operators. There will be at least 30 differ
ent rates for mining in the majority of
the mines, and in no mine less than 10.
Men in the same mine doing the same work
will be paid different rates. While it is
claimed the wages are based on the selling
price of coke, yet the wages to be paid
under the new scale to the men working in
Leisenring No. 2 shaft will be 3 per cent
less than the wages to be paid to the men
ior doing similar work at Leisenring No. l
and Trotter shafts.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-The main
struggle over the location of the Worlds
Fair Will be inaugurated tomorrow, when
the two giants in the contest, Chicago and
New York, will measure swords before the
Senate committee. The New York Fair
Committee has come down here in force.
Nearly hundred of them, prominent bust
ness men and politicians, headed by Mayor
Grant, ex-Mayor Hewitt, ex-Secretary Whit
ney, Chauncey NJ. Depew, and Cornelius
Vanderbilt, arrived tonight, and have taken
quarters at the Arlington Hotel. To-mor-
row evening Congressman Belden and
Flower will tender them reception.
The speakers on behalf of New York be-
fore the Senate Committee will be the gen.
tlemen named above, while Senators Far
we'll and Cullom, Representatives Mason and
Taylor, Mayor Cregier and Mr.. Cragin, the
general manager of the Chicago Fair Com
mittee, will represent the interests of the
Windy City. There being no session of the
Senate, the whole day will be devoted to the
hearing OF the claims of the two rival cities.
The New York men have already scored
one point over Chicago in the House. All
the Worlds Fair bills that have been in
troduced in that body were referred by the
Speaker to the Committee on Foreign Af-
fairs of which Mr.. Hit, an Illinois man, is
chairman. The New Workers were quick to
see the possible advantage which might
accrue to Chicago from this arrangement,
and have been making hard fight to have
special committee appointed to consider
the matter. To-day they received definite
promise that this should be done. The COM
mittee will be composed of nine members,
each of the four cities being represented by
two members, the ninth being unpledged.

THE LOVE OF PEACE.
Minister Phelps spenks Of This Prominent
Trait in the Ek.Empress' Charac.
ter-Her Last Talk With

Him on the subjecT.
BERLIN, January 10.-Mr. Phelps, the
United States Minister, made an address be-
fore the Anglo-American Society here, In
which he praised the patient pursuit of
duty that characterized the German race
in every rank from prince to peasant.
He dwelt upon this trait as revealed by the
Empress Augusta in the last audience he
had with her. The labor of the audience
was then evidently beyond her strength, but
she assumed it because it was part of
sovereign's duty.
"One thing" he said, "that struck me on
that occasion, was that every topic seemed
to lead her unconsciously to the same sub
ject of the love of peace which appeared to
strangely occupy and fill her mind.
Whether speaking of Americas mate
rial and moral growth, or of France
and the exhibition, she always
reverted to peace. Detecting
CLEAN of merriment on my face at this, she,
in winning, half pettish tone, reproached
me, and adding, think what 1 know of
war, and murmuring something of which
only the words father and son were audi
bic, she dismissed me. with the earnest In
junction to promote peace between Germany
and America"
Mr.. Phelps concluded: "The wires have
told the story OF her death in every capital,
and the echo returns an expression of uni
versal sorrow, not for tine consort of the
Prince and King and Emperor, but tor the
good woman dead"
1t is announced to-day that the funeral
ceremonies of the Empress will be identical
with those of the late Emperor.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
MERCER. January 10-There is q speck of
war between County Superintendent McCleery
on one side and the County Commissioners and
County Treasurer on the other. Numerically
speaking, the superintendent is on the weak
side; but, as he is heavy weight, he Will likely
come out on top in the winding up Of the
struggle
The difficulty arose over the payment Of the
$500 Which the law provides toward defraying
the expenses of the Teachers Institute. The
expenses this year, according to vouchers fur
nished, were something over 500. The
amount received from the enrolment fees,
lectures, ETC., with the balance on hand
from last year. lacked S103 Of meeting
this years expenses. The treasurer. acting
under the advice of the Commissioners and
their attorney, refused to pay any more of the
500 than enough to meet the deficit leaving
S97, which, Superintendent McCleery claims,
must be paid. He maintains that the case is
one in which the Commissioners have no right
whatever to meddle; that when the vouchers
for expenses and the roll showing the attend
ance were presented to the treasurer he had
no discretionary powers whatever, but that it
was his plain duty under the law. to pay the
$500. He has, therefore ordered his attorney
to bring suit against the treasurer for the $97.
He is inclined to the opinion that the great
interest taken in the case by the Commits
sioners is due to the fact that they were not
furnished dead-bead tickets to the evening en-
tertainmentS during the institute.
