Who for instance can determine which is the
throne Of Great Britain? Is II the stone corona
ton chair Of King Edward the Confessor in
which every sovereign who has reigned over
England during the last thousand years has
been crowned? Is it the gorgeous chair Of state
which occupies the centre OF the dais in the
House OF Lords. or that queer kind OF music

half leans. when she presides at the Drawing
rooms held at buckingham Palace? or is II.
perhaps the gilt armchair on which she takes
her place when she accords audience 10 foreign
ENJOYS at Windsor for the purpose OF receiving
either their letters of credence or recall? Not
one Of these seats can claim the exclusive right
10 describe itself as the throne OF England

would be inclined to accord the title To the cOro-

is only used once in lifetime by each Of the
English sovereigns. namely. on the day when
they are invested with the crown by the Arch
bishops of Canterbury and York. in the presence
Of the Peers OF the Parliament and Of the great
sfflcers Of the realm. There IS only one sover-
agn in English history who has sat twice in that
seat and that is Queen Victoria, the second
occasion having been the jubilee anniversary Of
her accession. The chair is familiar to every
American who has visited Westminster Abbey.

WORK RESUMED.

The Settlement Of Miners Strikes Makes
BETTER Times In PennsylvaniA-C0stO Of the
Strke-At Other Points.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 19.-The set
Element of the great coal strike in this
district and the return to work to-day
of Ii, 600 of the &c, 900 miners in western
Pennsylvania, has given an impetus to
all kinds of business and the situation
is more hopeful than at any time for
many months.
Among the large plants in this city
which resumed work after long idle
ness were the Carbon Iron & Steel
Co.'S works; divers Twenty-siXti}
street works: Rug & Co.'S works: Sheen
burger & Howe, Brown & Co. The lat
ter has been shut down for two years
and started up in full, giving employ
nent to 800 men. The Black Diamond
steel works will also begin operations
this week, and the Edgar Thompson
steel works will start as soon as a sutfi-
,ient supply of coal shall be received.
The tube works will start up as soon
as many of the strikers have expressed
4 willingness to return whenever the
firm should be ready. 1t is safe to say
that the end of the strike affects $4,000
people.
WHAT THE STRIKE COST.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June ia well in
formed authority in the coal business
estimates that the coal strike in this
district has cost the miners in wages
81. 500, 900, taking it for granted that
the normal output of the region had
been retained. In proportion to the
general output this district mined
about one-sixth of the coal dug in
the area affected by the strike. With
reasonable proportion between the
prices paid in this and other districts,
the loss in wages alone, says the same
authority, would be over $4,000. 900.
Estimating the gain of the miners by
the settlement of the strike to be 10
cents ton over former prices, it will
take them one and one-half years to
make up by increase of earnings for
the time they have lost.
MANY MEN RETURN IN OHIO.
COLUMBUS, O., June 19.-Letters and
kilograms to-day to the national head
quarters of the United Mine Workers
show that the sentiment in favor of
sustaining the national officers is grow
ing rapidly. 1t is believed at head
quarters that at least two-thirds of the
miners of Ohio resumed work this
morning, although no information had
been received on which to base an esti-
mate of the exact number. President
Mcbride is of the opinion that all ex-
cept those in the Massillon field will
resume operations prior to the close of
the present week.
Reports from points along the Cleve-
land, Lorraine & Wheeling road this
morning show that work was resumed
at only two mines on the entire road;
these were at Rock Hill.
In the Massillon district not a man
went to work. the miners having de-
cided in mass meeting not to abide by
the Columbus agreement. They will
hold out for Is cents differential over
the rate paid in the Hooking district
for which they struck last February.
