INTERNATIONAL MINERS CONGRESS.
The Eight Hour Question Causes q split
Ill Feeling Between the English and
Minars

French Miners.
BRussELs. May 22.-The international
congress of miners was opened IN THIS
city to-day.
Among the delegates are six members OF
the English Parliament led By Thomas
Burt and NJ. Calvignac, Mayor OF Car
maux, whose grievance against his en-
ployers was the cause OF the great Car
maux strike.
Sam Woods, English NJ. p, and Presi-
dent of the Lanchashire Miners Fedora
tiop. was chosen President; M. Calylgnac,
Vice President; Benz Pickard, M. p, and
Vice President of the Miners National
Union in England, Secretary; Thomas
Burt, Treasurer.
The British delegates at once submitted
their resolution in favor OF the eight
hour working day in the mines.
The resolution was seconded by Roudet,
Belgian delegate, and Piedboeuf, French
delegate. Ginger, Austrian delegate NOV
ed this amendment.
"Inasmuch as the conditions OF labor
vary in different countries and different
districts of the same country, 1t shall De
left free TO every country or district TO OBJ
tain the eight-hour day the means best
suited TO it's local conditions"
The English delegates, Bailey and her-
ess, spoke against the resolution ana
thereby embrolled themselves in hot
dispute with several French and Belgian
delegates Basley for the French miners,
reproached the Englishmen for their lack
Of international sympathy.
Whenever there was strike among the
miners at the north of France, he said that
part of the country was flooded with Eng
iish coal. He had not heard that the Eng
lish miners had ever raised a hand TO pre-
vent this outrage against their French
brethren.
The time undoubtedly had come when
the formation OF an international miners
union was imperative.
The resolution and proposals OF amend
ments were debated until adjournment.

EULALIA MEETS AMERICAN GIRLS.
Her Interesting Trip through the Ircasu-

Her Interesting Trip through the Ircasu-
vDeuartment-To the Top OF Washing
ton Monument
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-The
Princess Eulalie had her photograph
taken this morning and she was de-
lighted with the experience, as old as u
has grown to her. After her morning
chocolate and roll the nlnfanta attlred
herself in wonderful evening gown OF
fluffy stuff, the neck cut V shape. She
wore no hat. About her shoulders was
thrown a wide scarf of china silk. Inc
Infanta reached the photographer
shortly after ten o'clock and spent
nearly an hour there. Several mega
tiyes were taken and the Princess took
the livliest interest in the process.
At o'clock the Princess and Prince
Antoine and other members OF the
royal party were driven to the Treas
ury Department. Secretary carlisle
received them and acted as escort
through the money vaults.
The visit OF the Infanta to the Treas
ury Department was intended to be
mere tour of inspection without any
publicity. The hour of her arrival at
the Department was not made known
through the newspapers, and 1t was
thus hoped to avoid any crowd and al
low the royal visitor to pass through
the building as quietly as pos
sibe. Her visit, however, re-
suited in an ovation. There are
3 200 EN- ployes in the Treasury build
ing, and It seemed that all Of these were
rly n a6
space. The women were the more
strenuous In their efforts TO see Her
Royal Highaess. They brushed aside
the men in trying to reach the grand
doors. il was the Infanta's first exper-
ience with a crowd of American women
and she enjoyed It, A look Of surprise
passed over Eulalie's face at first, and
then, impulsively she walked over to
the grating and nodding her head brisk
ly aud with her face wreathed in smiles
talked in English to her American ad-
mirers.
How do you do?" she said.
"You are very, very good. l thank
you so much. 1t is good to be here for
you are very kind. l like America.
like the American people. l like you
all. Thank you. Good bye"
The Prince and the others in the
party were laughing heartily, and as
they entered the carriages they caught
the echo OF more Aattering remarks
about the beauty and gracefulness OF
the princess.
From the treasury department the
Infanta and her party were driven to
the Washington monument.
This evening the Infanta was given a
serenade by the Marine Band dnder
Prof. Fancuili. This was arranged by
Secretary Herbert. Tonight she was
entertained at an unofficial dinner
given by Mr.. ard Mrs. Curry.
The excursion to Mount Vernon has
been postponed from tomorrow to
! Wednesday.

National Hotel tonight recalled the
weeks Immediately following the inau-
guration when the patriots came TO
town in droves eager 10 gather In their
share Of the spoils OF victory.
To-day's gathering was mainly due to
the Knowledge which some how became
distributed over the State that COL

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
May 22.-The Swiss exhibit in the
great Manufacturers and Liberal Art
Building is temporarily closed. James
Perrenoud, the Swiss commissioner,
claims that his government has been
treated with indignity by the United
States customs officers, and he ordered
the Swiss section to be closed until the
minister of Switzerland at Washington,
who has been notified, has obtained sat
isfaction. Saturday afternoon Il. Il.
Nemitz, the agent of 30 Swiss exhibit
ors and having in charge over $780, 900
of exhibits, was arrested for selling
a diamond brooch which was held
In bond by the United States
custom Office. As soon as he was ar
rested, two custom officers were put In
charge OF the exhibit, which Commits
sioner Perrenoud did not hear OF until
late Saturday night, when one OF his
assistants told him. He at once COM
municated with the custom house de-
partment ard demanded TO know why
United States officers had been placed
in charge Of the property under the
guardianship OF Swiss officers without
notifying him. de also sent dispatch
TO the Swiss Minister at Washington,
notifying him of the alleged indignity,
and pending a settlement Commissioner
Perrenoud temporarily closed the Swiss
exhibit. Speaking Of the affair this
morning, he said that he did
not hold that the United States
officers were la the wrong
in arresting the agent, but he claimed
that he as representative Of Switzerland
should have been first communicated
with. Gas soon as heard ofsNemitz's
arrest" he continued, II formally dis
missed him from the service. But
claim that the Swiss exhibit Is practi-
cally Swiss soil, and that the United
States officers have no right to trespass.
without saying word to me, they
came and took possession OF the prop
erty OF certain subjects Of the govern
ment OF Switzerland and placed Ii 10

tire exhibit closed aud notified the en-
voy OF his government at Washington OF
the transgression OF the United States
officers.
captain Hall, who is In charge OF the
customs department at the Fair, said
this evening that the trouble over the

The Knn.as uIner.. strIke.

PIrTsBURG, KAN, May 22.-Latest de-
velopmeuts in the strike of coal miners
have added phases of grave character to
the difficulty. II is not unlikely that the
present difficulty will find a settlement in
arbitration, butt 1t seems most probable
that the Strike viii spread all over the
southwest. Officials Of the Santa Fe who
were expected TO bring matters TO arbitra-
tion are reported TO-DAY as opposed TO the
plan. They insist with most Of the other
large operators in the determination TO
treat them as individuals instead of recog-
nizing the miners union. The trouble has
therefore resolved itself into a struggle
between organized labor and capital. Five
hundred miners in Cherokee and Craw-
ford counties left their shifts to-day. The
miners in the Yale district went out to-
day, and all strip mines, it is said, will
quit tonight

5000, GOO Worth of Property.


TIFFIN, O., May 22.-The immense
plant OF the Beatty glass works, of the
United States Glass Company are for the
most part in ruins. The loss aggregat-
ing nearly 5000, 900, and 600 persons are
thrown out of employment The fire
had its origin in the oil compressi1g
room, oil being used as fuel In connec-
tion with natural gas, and was possibly
caused by spontaneous combustion.
Within five minutes the entire rear and
upper portions OF the immense plant
was In flames and the employees were
compelled to flee for their lives, leaving
their clothing and tools. Many escaped
from upper windows and but two were
injured, Peter Linden and Mat. Cald-
we'll who were seriously burned. The
United States Glass Company paid S273, =
