Proposed Gigantic Strike.

LONDON, Feb. 29.-It is now estimated
that 100000 miners will cease work in a
fortnight in their efforts to prevent a re-
duction in wages. Should the present in
tentions of the miners be carried out and
a strike inaugurated, this branch of the
industries will be seriously affected, and
it is estimated 100000 men will feel the
effects of the struggle. The price of coal
is rapidly rising in London, tho figures
to-day showing an advance of three shil-

NEW YORK, Feb. 29.--Through his
private secretary, Archbishop Corrigan
gave his views this morning on the Blaine
wedding, and said that when Father
Ducey attempts to throw the response
bility on the Archbishop for any error
OF judgment in the affair his action ia
somewhat surprising.
The dispensation only gave Father
Ducey the right to marry the couple if he
saw lit, and the responsibility lies en-
tlrely with the priest.
The Archbishop had a long talk with
the pair and endeavored to dissuade them
from marriage without the knowledge of
the Blaines, but young Blaine was de-
termlned to be married at once and the
young woman was equally stubborn.
The Archbishop had no suspicion that
young Blaine was under age. He said
he was within three weeks of twenty-one.

Gay asked Blaine for copy Of the reply

When Marion spoke of going away
again." said Mrs. Nevins Mrs. Blaine
said: We'll, you can leave your baby
here If you want to- If Marion had been
some poor outcast whom Jim Blaine had
seduced, Mrs. Blaine could not have
spoken in q more brutal manner. A
moment or two later Mrs. Blaine turned
to Marion and said in an extremely
significant way: Well, your marriage
was all wrong, anyway Then l pro-
tested. Mrs. Blaine flew into a fury,
surprising speed. SHOW these persons
out cried Mrs. Blaine, and then she
added, And watch them.
AT the door of the carriage the nurse,
who was crying out of sympathy for
Marion, said to her: Mrs. Blaine, YOU
are a goose to go away like this. You are
his wife; go right up to his room; no one
has a right to stop you.' Marion then
went back into the house, while stayed
in the carriage. Then it was that the
scene took place."

clared to be Valid.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The ''No Quo
rum" case, in which the legality Of the
Dingley Worsted Act was attacked by the
importers, was to-day decided by the
United States Supreme Court. The Ding
ley Act was passed through the action of
Speaker Reed in counting quorum when
a quorum of members was present. but
not voting. The importers maintained
that Speaker Reeds action was in viola
ton of the Constitution, and an Act
passed in this manner was void. The
court, in an opinion by Justice Brewer,
holds the mo Quorum" rule valid, and
the House of Representatives had a right
to make such rule.
The United States Supreme Court also
affirmed the judgments of the New York
and illinois Circuit Courts Of the United
States in favor of the constitutionality Of
the Mckinley Act.
