WILL ALL QUIT WORK.
Prospect OF the biggest strike In
Many Years.

The Interstate convention OF miners
and operators held ut Pittsburg, Pa.,
came to sudden end. After q
fierce battle of words and opinions
further talk was declared profitless,
and an adjournment was made sine die,
with q promptness that fairly made
the miners heads swim, though they
accepted the proposition with a smile.
This action means practically that
the interstate agreement has been abOl-
ished and that the amicable and har-
monious relations that have existed
between the two classes for the last five
years are broken off and may not be re-
sumed 1t also means that the 75, 600
mine workers in these two regions will
stop work on the LIST OF May, affecting
500, 900 people directly and hundreds OF
thousands indirectly. As the mine
workers Of the country will also de-
mand an eight-hourd day. q continuation
of work after May now seems almost
impossible. The two great labor Or
CARNATIONS, the Knights OF Labor and
the Federation of Labor, are back to
the men and their money will be nj
their disposal. The end of the conven-
ton was FASTENED by the report Of the
committee having the subject OF the
eight-hour day in hand. The miners
framed the propositions in the report,
to which the operators on the commit
tee strenuously objected. The propo-
sitions were:
~. That a reduction in the pay OF
day labor relative to the reduction in
the hours will be allowed.
so. That we proceed to make our
wage scale with the understanding that
eight hours constitute a days work after
the LIST OF May without the operators
officially indorsing it, but if it does not
generally prevail within n reasonable
length of time the miners will not in
sist on its enforcement"
These had been modified from the
demands OF the miners, butevery opera
tor in the two States, with one excep-
ton. will fight the movement. The
exception is Col. P. Rend of Chicago.
He came into the convention and said
that he was in favor OF the shorter day
and made speech that was favor
able to the miners. He discussed the
situation with the operators, advising
a tfal Of the scheme, but found them
so strongly opposed to it that he was
unable to make any impression and
gave up the hope OF conversion.

CARRIED OFF BY A BEAR.
Probable Fate OF 5-Year-Old Eddie
Lips Of lInrt, Mich.

Hart, Mich, telegram: The dlsap-
rearance of little 5-year-old Eddie Lips
has caused great excitement in these
parts. He is one OF ten children be-
longing to John Lips. German farmer
living four miles northeast Of this
place.
Monday afternoon Eddie went with
two older brothers into The sugar bush
half mile east OF the house, where
the boys were gathering sap. Tie older
boys worked on opposite sides of the
camp and each thought the other was
looking after the little fellow. Thus it
was that Eddie was really lost for two
hours before il became known
when the two older boys reached the
house.
As dilicent search rs possible was
instituted that night by the alarmed
family. The next morning general
alarm was given and "a large number OF
neighbors joined in the search, but all
without avail. Yesterday fully three
hundred men were on the ground, and,
forming line eight feet apart. swept
the woods for several miles about the
place where the boy watts last seen.
No trace of the boy was found, but
well-detined bear tracks were seen a
little way from the camp, going into
che swamp. Tie most tenable theory
tow is that the bear took the child.

FRANCE In A FERMENT.
HER AMBASSADOR TO BERLIN
SNUBBED BY THE EMPEROR.
Paris Anxious 10 Know the Meaning
OF Kaiser wilheIm's Treatments Of
M. Herbette-FOreign News.

Parif cablegram: NJ. Herbette. the
French am bassador to Germany, has
sent to M. Ribot, French minister OF
foreign affairs, q dispatch full Of mis-
givings as tC the nature OF the ambas-
sador's relations with the Berlin for
eiga office. NJ. Herbette says that
Chancellor Won Caprivi treats him with
formal politeness, while the German
emperor, who was formerly invariably
affable in his manner, now speaks
CURLY and has shown positive i'll humor
toward Frenchmen whom NJ. Herbette
has introduced ut receptions.
The news causes increased anxiety In
government circles here. Hitherto M.
Herbette's own reports, as we'll as other
Official information from Berlin, have
shown that M. HerbeLte was persona
grata with Emperor William and that
the ambassador was on the most amic-
able personal terms with the chiefs OF
the berlin foreign office. Nothing has
occurred between the ambassador and
NJ. Ribot to Indicate the intention OF
the German government to increase the
tension OF relations already sufficiently
strained. If the French government
ascertains that the Kaiser's altered at
titude toward M. Herbette arises from
dissatisfaction over the treatment re-
ceived by Empress Frederick in Paris
his early recall is certain. So far as
known in official circles the Kaiser
exonerated NJ. Herbette from all blame
in the matter, while NJ Ribot con-
sidered the conduct OF the ambassador
in relation to the Paris incident to have
been absolutely correct.
Miners May strike in All Lands.
The leaders OF the recent miners con-
gress are arranging to appoint a gen
eral strike executive committee, COM
posed equally OF representatives OF
French, English, German and Belgian
miners. The executive will meet in
Brussels, il the government permits,
during the coming general strike in
Belgium.
kilograms received from the German
delegates announce that the conference
of miners at Bochum, on receiving a
report Of the action OF the Paris con-
Eress, decided that in the event of q
strike in Belgium. unless German col
leries engaged not to furnish Belgium
with coal, the German miners should
also strike. The English delegates also
guarantee to stop the export OF coal.
America weakens their position in the
struggle with the masters, the execu-
tive will open communication with
American unions. The strike agitations
in America are watched with q keener
interest as having probable bearing
upon European strikes.

ditious Of the industries, for of neces-
sity the management OF the concerns

British money is just as good as
American money. but they cannot send
men here to do the business as we'll"
"There was talk when the mills were
purchased by the British that they
would obtain a monopoly Of the flour
making in this country. That is an
impossibiity. The English have sim
ply invested IS, 600, 900 in mills that
make perhaps 1000 barrels or flour o
day. That is small fraction OF the
output OF the country and any talk that
the syndicate could control or manipu-
late prices is wild. There are four
mills in so many parts OF the country
TO be conducted under different con-
ditions and using wheat from different
markets that IL would he impossible for
any concern 10 monopolize the bust
