"Thcy have waited patiently" ho

al the evident insincerity Of those in u

Now they propose to take tho matter

that in order topay the guarantee given
by tho Reading, ono Of two things must
be done:
''The price OF coal must be advanced
10 cents ton, or tho wages Of the
miners reduced II TO 10 per cent. They
cannot sec how it is possible to advance
the coal in the market, and they con.
clude the only other alternative is left,

delegations OF miners from different
parts OF tho coal fields waited upon me,
in order that business men who arc de-
pendent upon tho miners for their pros
perity might be induced to stand by
the workingmen in their fight against
the combine. 1t is the universal opin-
ion that the policy Of retrenchment al.
ready inaugulatel by the Reading will
bear heavily upon the miners.

mined that the constitution shall be
obeyed or serious trouble will follow.

PEORIA, ILL.,, May S.-Thousands OF
people to-day visited the inundated dis
tricts surrounding this city. The river
Is still q raging torrent, with roar
that can be heard long distance. Tho
measurement was taken this morning
and it registered 81 feet and seven
inches, which Is rise Of seven inches
in twonty.four hours. Since then the
water has been so rough that no meas
uremont could bo made. The waves
are rolling high and the greatest danger
is to be feared.
1t is beloved that tho river will not
rise much more, but the strong wind
which prevails in dashing tho water SO
furiously against the bank that many
bridges nre liable to bo washed out. The
railroad company's have large forces at
work guarding against this. The cattle
pens OF the lower sugar works in which
thousands OF head are ted daily are
foot under wator and unless the water
quickly subsidies they must bo removed.
The dam at Henry, forty miles above
here, threatens to 90 out, and should it
do SO tho devastation along the river
will be appalling. In tho Lemarsh
district tho destruction continues.
MaAy houses have been floated OF or
dashed to pieces by the driftwood and
by tho time the water goes out nothing
will be left except debris. Tho resi-
dents have lost everything they had and
are in a destitute condition. Several
warehouses here are surrounded by
water and threaten every minute to be
carried away.
