The Coal Miners Strike in England.

LONDON, March Fifteen thousand
coal miners are idle in North Staffordshire.
Unless they resume work in a few DAYS
the potteries will be compelled to close
down, throwing $4,000 men out of work.
Flintshire, in Wales, appears to be the
only place where the order of the Miners
federation to quit work has not been
obeyed by members of the association. The
latest estimates upon the number of miners
now idle is 1000. Owing to the closing
down of other industries on account of the
strike, fully 200, 900 men in other employ
men;s have been thrown out of work. The
Northwestern railway company has stop
ped many of its trains because of lack of
fuel, and large number of engineers at
Crewe have been temporarily dismissed for
the same reason.
In Leeds district, the strike is severely
felt. Nearly all the large mills are reduce
ing the number of ployees or suspend.
ing work altogether.
Members of the South Wales Miners
association will limit the output of the
mines in which they labor and not work
overtime during the strike elsewhere. The
iron works at Bolton are idle. The Furness
railway company has given notice of dis.
missal to the bulk of its employees. The
London gas companies report they have
coal enough to last month. The shipping
federation is preparing for meeting. The
London coal porters refuse to UNLOAD
foreign coal. The agents of coal firms ar,
negotiating in France for Supplies from
the Pas de Calais companies.

gorgeous event passed into history than
there was one about the distribution of the
spoils. There began to appear bills for ex-
penses of which nothing before had been
heard. These bills it is said, were gener
ally presented by A. Gordon Murray, who
brooked no question of his proceedings.
Matters reached climax last evening
when at a meeting of the inner council OF
the association held Saturday, March 8,
Mr.. Mcmillan openly charged the chief
with having attempted TO commit fraud.
The result is a fol Misunderstanding docu-
ment which MIR. Mcmillan later found on
his desk reading as follows:
E. Erskine Mcmillan.
Sir: l challenge you to fight duel with
pistols at thirty (30) PAGES, within five
miles Of Chicago, at your earliest conven-
lence. l have chosen my seconds Choose
yours.
A. GORDON MURRAY.
p. S.: A copy sent to the press.
Mr.. Mcmillan declares he does not pro-
pose to notice the challenge, but has pub
licly denounced Murray as a coward anG
trouble is feared. Murray. however. is
either far from being a coward or has over
looked the fact that the laws of Illinois
make the sending of challenge a peniten-
tiary offense. Chief Murray is descend
ant from the War-lil1e clan of Gordons, his
mother having been a niece Of the Duke oil
Gordon. Their crest is the juniper tree

that the rich blue-blood coursing in the
chiefs veins, or his juniper tree crest OF
something of that Sort has proved TOT
much for him to carry around and strained

THE HOME RULE BILL
1t Will be Considered in
Order.
THE CHANCES OF ITS PASSAGE
Chairman Washington Believes it Win be
Considered as Non-Partisan Meas
ure and Become Law.
HERALD BUREAU,
Cor. 18th and G Streets, n. w.
WASHINGTON n q March IA

"Mr. Washington" said l today, ad-
dressing the chairman of the House terri
tories committee, ''the people of Utah, as
you are aware, are greatly interested in the
Home Rule and statehood bills now before
your committee. VIII you be good enough
to tell THE SALT LAKE HERALD how soon
you propose taking action upon them?"
1.-THE committee" said Mr.. Washington,
''will take up the Utah bill as soon as they
have disposed of the bills for the admission
of Arizona and New Mexico, both of which
were introduced prior to the Utah meas
ure, and therefore in regular order have
priority in their claim for consideration.
l think 1t is probable we will be able to
reach the Utah bill this week"
81 assume that your committee will report
the Home Rule bill favorably. If I am cor
rect in this belief, please state why you
prefer the Home Rule to the enabling bill"
81 have not polled the committee" re-
piled Mr.. Washington, "on the question of
statehood for Utah as yet. 1 am inclined
to believe that the statehood bill would be
reported favorably by the committee if
they believed it a measure which could
meet the sanction of both the House and
the Senate. As we do not believe that
statehood is practicable just now, the sen
timent Of the committee, so far as l have
been able to ascertain it, is that we should
give Utah Home Rule under the Game bill
! She certainly is entitled to relief, and
Home Rule, in the opinion of all, is far
preferable to the present condition of af-
fairs"
what will the House do with the Home
Rule bill2 How soon do you think it will
be taken up and considered, and do you be-
lieve that the discussion of it win run
along party lines, or whether it will be
considered in a broad and catholic and
purely non-partisan spirit!"
81 think the House Home Rule bill will
pass the House without any very great OPP
position. Some of the Republicans 1 know
will support it, and thus far have seen
very little evidence of a disposition tc
treat it in any way as a partisan ques-
ton"
"Have you any idea, Mr.. Washington
what the Senate Will do with the bill9n
asked.
81 am not prepared to say what the Sen
ate will do with either the Home Rule OF
the statehood bill l can only judge by the
conversations 1 have had with severa
Democratic Senators. All of them have
expressed themselves freely as being il
favor of Home Rule, and indeed they would
be for statehood if they thought such
measure could pass. In my Judgment thu
chief opposition in the Senate to both thes,
} measures will come from the Republican
side of the chamber
