NEWCASTLE COAL MINES.
Miners Driven Out During the Riot
ReinStated

Miners Driven Out During the Riot
Reinstated.
SEATTLE (Wash.l, Feb. "a dispute
which has been in existence for some
time. between the Oregon Improvement
Company and its miners, at Newcastle,
has resulted in the reinstatement of about
forty-five OF the miners who were driven
out after the riots...two years ago, and
ejectment proceedings against six of the
leaders of the discharged men.
The trouble began with dispute over
the division of work, the leaders having
demanded that seven men should not get
new breast of coal to dig in their regular
turn, on the ground that those men had
refused to divide the day work with
miners who had no breast, the mine be-
ing overmanaed. On January 18th Corey
discharged twenty-one men and the lead
ers in the trouble, and brought in a force
OF Sullivan's detectives to guard the mine.
he continued to discharge the men until
he had gotten rid of eighty-three of those
who had been engaged in the riot of two
years ago. He hired forty-five of the
Knights OF Labor who were driven out at
the time, but have since remained in the
neighborhood. This has caused bitter
feeling among the discharged men. They
claim that the reinstated men are black
legs, and that Corey is trying to break up
the organization.

ference committee. While the committee
will not agree to the Senate's amend
ment, it will probably be willing to give
subsidy Of Sl50,000 per year to any re-
sponsible company.
The conference reports are nearly al
ways adopted without much opposition,
and there is likely not to be much trouble
in this case. Altogether the prospects
for both the shipping and cable bills seem
very bright.
There have been kilograms received
from San Francisco urging that the cable
be laid over the Farallone Islands. This
proposition does not meet with any favor
among congressman, and will positively
not be adopted. The Farallone Islands
are not considered of enough importance
to warrant the expense that such plan
would involve.

BIRD ISLAND.
The Heirs of General Fremont to Press
Their Claim for Ownership.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 25.-Rev. w. r. Co
vert of Findlay, Ohio, has retained coun-
sci to press the claim of himself and the
heirs of General John C. Fremont to the
ownership of Bird Island, in the bay of
San Francisco. The amount involved is
estimated at over Sl0,OOO,0OO. General
Fremont, when military Governor of
California, purchased the island from
Mexico. Uncle Sam repudiated the pur-
chase and declined to either buy from
the Pathfinder or reimburse him. How
ever, the General Government some
years later took possession of the island,
which is the key to San Francisco harbor
and erected Notifications and light
house upon it at a cost of over SO, 600 900.
General Fremont sought relief from Con-
gress, but in vain. Some time before he
died, being low in funds, he secured
financial aid from Mr.. Covert, giving
therefor the option on half an interest in
the island. He intended to press his
claim, but death intervened. Mrs. Jessie
Benton Fremont and her son will soon
join in the proceedings before the Court
of Claims

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-At this morn
ing's session of the Woman's National
Council, ''The Matriarchate, or the Mother
Age" paper prepared by Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, was read by Susan B.
Anthony.
"Gains of the Last Three Years. was
the subject of a paper by Mary Seymour
Howell. She spoke of what was doing in
the various States for the political en-
reimbursement of women.
Miss Julia Ward Howe spoke on the
Relation of the Woman Suffrage Move
ment to Other Reforms." She said in
part: Il don't mean to say that the ap-
pearance of women in the political arena
is going to right every wrong, but it will
do much. Look at the anomalous condi-
tion of things. Here are women minis
ters. They can preach of sin and vice
in the world, but cannot use the ballot to
suppress them. Women lawyers have
no power to enforce the law We are
marching toward a better state of affairs.
The old gospel said: Repent, for hell is
before you,' but the new one says, Re
pent, for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand.'"

Journal, read an able paper on 1.-THE Oc-
cupation of Women to Date.' She said
fifty years ago there were only seven oc-
cupations accessible to women. To-day
they are engaged in the overflow of every
profession which has thrown open its
doors to women. In fact, they are now
eligible to almost any employment in
which men are engaged, and, in addition
to these, many others peculiar to their
