LONDON iress on the Presidents Mes
Disqualification Insisted Upon.
LONDON, Jan. 6.-The 81. James Gazetts
to-day says that it accepts the official
denial in regard to the Behring Sea
troubles adding, however, but why Is the
United States navy being massed in the
Pacific, unless it is to make the Behring
Sea mare clausem. Officers of the Amer
lean navy do not act upon rumors printed
i'll American papers.
The Pal Mall Gazette says. ''Mr. Blaine
obviously means to try more bounce for
the sake of making political capital. We
are convinced. however, that the Ameri-
cans Will not support Mr.. Blaine. 1t is
imperative to arbitrate the matters in dis
pute.'
The Globe says that it attributes the fric.
ton to Mr.. Blaine's Dragging spread -eagle-
ism and is of the opinion that in view Of a
possible, though unlikely, American dis
play Of force in Behring Sea, Great Britain
ought instantly to strengthen her Pacific
squadrons.
The Globe also advocates the settlement
arbitration.

The Movement a Failure.

PITrsBURG, Pa, April 27.-The threat ened general strike of the bitum inous coal miners of the country on May for the eight hour day has about been abandoned It will probably be declared of officially at Columbus, O., tomorrow by the Execu- tive Board of the United Mine Workers of America. The strike would have involved 75, 900 skilled miners and about 5, COO la borers, and would have seriously crippled all industries depending upon coal for fuel There are various causes for the retreat To begin with, the great strike of 15, 000 coke workers has no. had that support from the American Federation of Labor and from the Knights of Labor which was expected. Then the miners of West Vir- gtnia and of the Monongehela River field refused to join the eight hour movement. The Hooking Valley men have agreed to work another year at least at last year 8 terms, nine hours, which step will be taken by other Ohio miners. The Ken lucky and Tennessee miners have ar ranged truce with the operators in those fields. In Illinois there was nc possibil- ity of inducing the men to strike, as the Northern contingent and Southern miners were not in harmony. In Pennsylvania while the Clearfeld, Jefferson and Center County digyers were ready and anxious to make the fight, there were other thous- ands in Allegheny, Washington and Vest moreland Counties who insisted on re- maining at work. This was also the case in the Maryland and Pocahontas fields, which stand ready to supply the Eastern markets in case of strike elsewhere. With this lack of unity and division of sentiment 1t is not deemed advisable by the Executive Board of the United Mine Workers to enter upon the struggle, par ticularly as it is not likely that more than Sl out of every SlCo promised for the relief fund would be forthcoming. It is thought that at to morrow's con ference at Colum- bus an arrangement will be made covering the entire Ohio field, thus effectually breaking down the eight-hour movement for this year.

In cluded in this nggregats the Sc cretary mentioned the subsidiary coin now in the Treasury, the large amount of deposits held by national banks, the surplus of ap pgoximate y tll o00, 600, and also abo ut $i GOO 900 in silver dollars In the Treasury upon which no certificates had been issued. Nothing has yet been decided up ca with respect to the method to be adopt d to get into circulation the subsidiary silver coin in the Treasury vaults.
