MARION, VA, March 14.-At Rad
ford, Va, a city OF 5000, the train stop
ped three minutes, a delegation boarded
the train and insisted that Senator Hill
should address the people briefly. There
were loud cries of "Hill," "Hill," and,
yielding to the peoples demand, the
Senator stepped out on the platform
and made short speech. He was
greeted with loud cheers.
Az Pulaski and Wytbevlle large
crowds were also assembled and at each

thusiaSm. At these towuS, however, he
refraiped from any extended remarks

The BIG MINERS STRIKE.
10000 Miners Out and Nearly as Many
Idle In Other Trades.

LONDON, March l4.-flIntshire. In
Wales, appears 70 be the only place
where the order OF the miners fedora
tion to quit work has not been obeyed
by the members OF the association. The
last estimate OF the number OF miners
who are now idle places the figure ut
10000. Owing 10 the closing down OF
other industries because OF the strike,
fully 200, 900 in other empl0yments have
been thrown out OF work.
The full effect OF the strike will not
be felt Immediately. In many cases
manufacturers who have large coal
stocks will endeavor to tide over a
week, but N the strike exceeds week
in duration ,heir supply will soon be
exhausted and they will be compelled
TO shut down. II they are forced 70
close their works the number OK Idle
operatives will be doubled.
The miners who have quilt work are
observing the strike" purely as holi-
day. Large numbers Of them are taxi
ing advantage Of their idlcnoss 10 leave
the districts I'm which thoy work and
visit friends elsewhere. There u no
excitement whatever. The Northeast
ern Railroad Company has stopped many
OF its trains because Of the lack OF fuel
and large number OF engineers have
been temporarily dismissed.
Cargoes Of coal are being shipped from
Antwerp. The dock laborers In London
and Antwerp are not allowed TO know
whence the coal came, or whittier IL is
going. This course Is followed In order
to prevent trouble as IL n thought the
men would refuse 10 handle the coal did
they know 10 was u be used 20 help tide
over the difficulty caused by the British
miners strike. IL Il also thought that
II the Belgian miners knew the coal
they had mined was being used for this
purpose they would take action 70
Illustrate the export OF the commodity.
In the Leeds district, the strike u
severely felt. Nearly all the large mills
and the steel works are reducing tho
number OF their employe sor suspendlnz
work altogether.
A number OF trains on the Lancashire,
Yorkshire and Great Northern railways
have been taken OF. The coal marSet
In London to-day shows no effects from
the strike. The tone IL fat and there
has been no advance In prices There
is but little demand.
The members Of the South Wales
Miners Federation will limit the output
OF the mines OF which they labor and
will not work over time during the
strike Of their fellow miners elsewhere.
The iron works at Bolton are Idle.
The Furness Railway Company have
given notice Of dismissal 20 the bulk OF
its employees engaged Ia traffic.

ON HIS WAY SOUTH.
senator Hill Makes a Ten Minutes Speech
AT Roanoke.

ROANOKE, VA, March 1.-THE train
bearing Senator Hill and party en-
route 10 the South was met twenty-five
miles distant from Roanoke by delega-
tiOn from that city, who boarded the
train early this morning 20 greet the
distinguished New Yorker, and invite
him TO address their citizens during the
ten minutes stop at the station.
The Senator finally yielded TO their
pressing invitation 10 make few re-
marks. When Roanoke was reached
several thousand people were assem-
bled, and the Roanoke machine works
band played airs Of welcome. Senator
HIPS ten minutes speech was devoted
largely to the Democratic principles,
and review OF the good work OF the
Democratic party in the State OF New
York, aud he was warmly cheered at
frequent intervals.
Among other things, the Senator
said: Bear in mind, fellow-citlzens,
that the contest is to come, and you
have not an easy fight The enemy is
entrenched. They have the possession
of the government, and they will use 1t
for ali il is worth. Laughter The
candidate OF the other side will proba-
bly, be the present occupant OF the
White House, and my friends, sur
rounded as he is with all the power OF
this great government, il will not be an
easy task TO diSlodge him nor his party.
1t IS not enough that the majority
OF the people believe in Democratic
principles, It is not enough that the
sentiment OF the people is with Us.
There must be organization in every
school district, in every town, in every
county throughout your State and
throughout the country. The party
that is best organized, in my Judgment,
will win the fight this coming fall.
Therefore, in parting from YOU, simply
desire TO say a few practical words on
organizing for the fight that is 10 come:
Organize your people, instruct them;
circulate your documents; subscribe tS
your newspapers; inform the people,
agitate; agitate and organize every
where. II this be done, we can rejoice
this fall, in my judgment in the redemp-
tion Of the country"

EXCIrEs COMMENT.
An Editorial from the London "Times"
Concerning the Modus Vivendi.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l4.-An
editorial article in the London Times OF
March on the Bering Sea question has
excited considerable comment at the
State Department. The article is based
upon the news published in London OF
the decision OF the Supreme Court In
the Sayward case, and the signature OF
the Bering Sea arbitration treaty In
this editorial the following language is
used: at is understood that as the
award cannot be given before the open
ing OF the next sealing season, 1t Will
be necessary to renew the modus vlvendi
for another year"
This declaration was made one day
after Lord Salisbury had, through the
British minister in this city, notified
Secretary Blaine that the modus vivendi
would not be renewed, but before that
fant had been made public.

THE BERING. SEA CASE
Under Consideration Before the Senate
Referred to the Foreign Affairs Com
mittae


mittee.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 14.-The
Senate, in executive session to-day,
spent an hour in the discussion OF the
Bering Sea question. The matter came
before the Senate in the shape OF mes
sage from the President, in reply TO a
resolution requesting further inrorma-
tion as 10 the effect OF pelagic sealing.
The President sent extracts from OIL
cial reports of the Bering Sea commits
sioners showing that contrary TO Lord
Salisbury's statement, the British COM
sioners had conceded that the seals had
diminished in number 0y the hand OF
man, which, of course, meant largely
through the acts of the poachers in
killing seals at sea.
The message was laid before the SEN
ate and Mr.. Sherman moved its refer
ence TO the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. But the Senators wished TO hear
the extracts enclosed by the President
and defeated the motion.
The matter was read in full, and then
followed debate very similar in char
acter to those which occurred last
week. The point Of difference was TO
be seen in the strength shown by the
sentiment favorable TO the protection
of the claimed rights OF the United
States in Bering Sea by all OF the re-
sources of the Government, pending ar
bitraton.
Short speeches were made by Senators
Sherman, Butler and Morgan, on the
Committee OF Foreign Relations, and by
Messrs. Patt, White, and others. At
their conclusion, the papers were refer
red TO the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tiOns.

Special Tsls0ran 10 ne Rsoistsr.
WAsHINGToN, d. c., March l4.-The
news OF Mr.. Mills's probable election as
Senator from Texas was not wholly
expected here, as the friends Of Judge
Culberson had been making extrava-
CANT claims and had created belief
that he would give Mills a hard fight.
But there is general satisfaction
among Democrats at Mills's success, as
IL is regaded as fitting recognition Of
his great work for the party and will
console him for the defeat which he
sustained in the late Speakership con-
test. Under the circumstances Mr..
Millss advance TO the Senate will not be
as much OF loss to the House as IL
might otherwise have been.
His defeat for the Speakcrship
made Mr.. Mills feel that he owed it TO
himself to keep in the background, es-
pecialiy a. he was not given the place
for which he had such peculiar fitness;
the Chairmanship OF the Ways and
Means Committee. Consequently he
would not have taken much part nor
had much influence on the legislation
of the present house.
In the Senate he will not have the
same feeling and will go 10 work with
his customary order and industry, and
be OF great service to the party. Alto
gether Mr.. Mills's election Is looked
upon here as a deserved promotion for
him, and a happy solution Of the some
what constrained situation in the House.

distinguished by riots and assaults,
there having been twenty persons
killed and one hundred and forty
wounded az various times during the
