Rrl,ish Miners nlax Not s,rIke.

LONDON, March THE outlook in
the coal trade and among consumers is
somewhat brighter today, and it appears
now as though the Miners federation
might recede somewhat from their stand
not to accept a penny reduction in the
wages paid to miners. It also appears
probable that the gigantic strike which
1t was proposed to inaugurate on the
18th inst, or rather the two weeks ces-
sation from work which was TO begin
on that day, in order to restrict the out
put and thus compel consumers to pay
such an advance price for coal as would
warrant the mine owners in making no
reduction In wages, win not take place.

procity and silver are each and all alike
to be brought into discussion during the

as the silver men are strong enough II
carry it. The anti-silver men estimate
their maximum Democratic strength al

counted with the anti-silver wing. It Ii
expected that the whole day will be oe

Dcspondency and suicide.

WASHINGTON, March Tive shots
fired almost simultaneously in a room
occupied by Fernleigh Montague, an
artist, and his wife startled the inmates
of house No. 518 Fourth street, north
east. The door was forced open by an
officer, when husband and wife. were
found lying ON the bad dead, From
their position the woman had evidently
lain on the bed and allowed her husband
to place the pistol to her mouth and FIRE.
Then, sitting up, he turned the bloody
weapon to his own mouth, fired and
dropped back on the pillow dead. De
spondency, the result Of long and pain
full illness, was undoubtedly the cause
of the deed, but the reason for the wife
committing the rash act lisa mystery.
