FLOCK TO THE FEDERATION
Anthracite Coal Miners Join the
Unions of Their Bituminous
Brethren.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec 2O.-A dispatch
from Shenandoah, one of the principal
coal-producing points in the anthracite
region of this state says that the news at
Pittsburg that the anthracite miners are
rapidly enrolling themselves with their
bituminous brethren in the United Mine
Workers of America, is received with
ncredulity there. Labor leaders ac
knowledge that Organizers Fahey and
Rim have established about sixty as
but they say that instead of increasing
the movement is steadily losing ground.
On the other hand, a prominent labor
leader said to a reporter of the Associated
Press today that the United Mine Work
ers' organization is rapidly adding to it's
membership in the anthracite regions.
Sixty -seven assemblies have been organ
lied with an average membership of 200
to 25O each," said he "This takes in
over 10 per cent. of the 1O,0O0 anthra-
cite miners in the state, and the work has
only just begun. The condition of the
anthracite miners steadily grows worse.
Statistics which have recently been gath
cred prove that their wages average 80
cents day, which is the lowest figure
ever reached
Massillon, O., Dec. 2O.-The decision of
the arbitration committee against the min
ers has aroused a storm of resentment
here, and it is believed another strike will
be declared. Groups of miners were gath
erd on the street corners today bitterly
denouncing the verdict of the committee.
The men expected at least 50 cents per
ton, and it is claimed that the operators
never hoped for such good terms as the
arbitrators gave them.

CHINA ON HER KNEES.
Commissioners Leave Pekin to Open
Negotiations with the
Japanese.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Minister

Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-Minister
DENLY cabled the state department today
that the Chinese government has ap-
pointed two peace commissioners, Chang
Yin Huah and Fhao, who will proceed
at once on their mission from Pekin to
the Japanese capital.
Shanghai, Dec. 21.-It is reported this
evening on good authority that direct
peace negotiations are proceeding between
Pekin and Toxic. The Japanese feet
has left Port Arthur and steamed south
ward. It's destination is not known.
Washington, D. c., Dec. 21.-While
the Chinese mail which has just arrived at
the navy department failed to bring any
news of the events which happened at
Port Arthur during the occupation of
that stronghold by the Japanese, it did
include the first reports which have yet
reached the department from it's intelli-
gence officers at the seat of war touching
the great engagement off the mouth Of
the Yulu river on October 80 last. The
naval officers reports confirm in every re-
spect the press dispatches published soon
after the battle and perhaps the most
significant portions relate to the battle
ships of the Chinese as opposed to the
Japanese cruisers. In substance they
snow tnaL InG neaVlly -armOred vessels
were practically uninjured by the jap
anese fire, and. as this fact tends strongly
to bear out the arguments in favor of the
battleship as against the cruiser as set
out in the report of the secretary of the
navy to Congress, without doubt the re-
ports will be exhibited to the House naval
committee in connection with the pending
proposition for the construction of three
more battleshiDs.
1t is said that after the action COM
menced the Chinese were unable to make
signals on account of the shooting away
of hallards, ETC., and therefore no tactical
evolutions were performed by them, the
vessels manoeuvering independently. The
japanese, however, signaled throughout
the action and manoeuvered in concert.
The japanese fire directed against the two
battleships is said to have been terrific,
the Chen Yuen being struck about 400
times and catching fire several times.
None of the japanese ships used tor

to Restrict the Output at

cries of this city owned by an English
syndicate are preparing to concentrate
their output in portion of their property

PICTURED ON HER EYE.
First Clue to Mrs. Shear
mans Slayer.

Jamestown, n. Y. Dec. 21.-Ine re-
movaI of the eyes of Mrs. Sherman. who
was murdered last Saturday, for q Sec
ond Photographic experiment in hopes
of th.. retina revealing an image OF the
murGc-er. was not rewarded with sue
ceas The eyes took on a coating OF him
afte. heir removal from the boy, and
all effor~-- 10 clear them by the use of
various chemicals failed. Coroner Bow
ers Fred Marsh and Sheriff Jenner said
this morning that they could take their
oath that the figure of a man was PLAIN
ly visible before the eyes were removed.
On the day Mrs. Sherman and her
daughter, Mrs. Clinton Davis, were muir
dered at their farmhouse, six miles from
this city, they were the sole occupants
of the house. Mr. Sherman had gone
to town to attend the funeral of his SON
in-law, who had been killed in railroad
accident. Upon returning home Mr.:
Sherman, who is 20 years old, found
the bodies of his wife and daughter ON
the floor. The women were evidently
killed with an axe or Ratchet, but there
was absolutely no clue to the murderer:
Coroner Bowers, accompanied by Fred
S. Marsh a local scientist, went to the
residence and made Il microscopic exam
nation of the eyes of the dead women.
Nothing was revealed in the eyes OF Mrs
Davis, but on one of those of Mrs Shear
photographed. The microscope used en-
1arged the object viewed 400 times ITS
real size. The picture as revealed did
not show the face of the man who Is
supposed to be the murderer. The mans
position was such, according to those who
made the examination, that the body was
shown only from the breast down to the
feet. After the first surprise of the start
ling discovery made by Mr.. Marsh was ov-
er he made a most careful examination,
which clearly revealed the mans
form. He was apparently Dig
man with a long, heavy over,
coat, unbuttoned, and which reached
below the knees. The wrinkles in the
trousers could be plainly seen, and one
foot was behind the other, with the knee
bending as if in a STOPPING posture about
to take a step. DR.. Bowers, the coroner,
then made an examination, and says he
saw the picture as distinctly as he could
have seen man standing in front OF
him. 1t was then decided to remove the
eyes so that further experiments might
be made, but it is believed that it was
mistake to remove them and that ii the
eyes had been undisturbed the photo
graphs could easily have been obtained.
Much interest was taken in this expert
ment and the outcome will be dlSap-
pointment to many who expected to Sc
cure a photograph from the eyes with
the hope of getting some clue to the
murderer
