No Settlement Yet.

CLEVELAND, o., May 1.-THE
convention between miners and
operators was called to order short
ly after 9o'clock, and the joint con-
ference committee reported they
could not agree. The report is now
being considered. The belief is.
general that the conference will
end without reaching a settlement,
and not even a modus vivendi,
whereby the country may be sup
piled with coal, and the question
Of wages discussed and another

Presbyterians Assemble.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, n. Y, May
1.-THE annual meeting of the
Presbyterian General Assembly
will be held in Saratoga Springs
First Presbyterian church, COM
mencing today at IL a. m, when
the annual sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. DR.. Craig, of the Nc
Cormick university, of Chicago.
The session will continue about
10 days.
The New York Presbytery select
ed solid conservative delegation.
Last year the delegation was divid-
ed, standing s to 6 in favor of DR..
Briggs, but no votes were cast in
the General assembly on account
of the position Of New York, that
it had no voice in the assembly on
account of Briggs having come
from that state. A very signifi-
can't feature of the solid conserva-
tive delegation from New York is
that it indicates complete revo-
luton in the sentiment of the
people of this State, which is en-
phasized by the fact that two
members of the Briggs Prosecut-
ing committee are among the COM
missiouers. Last year the liberal
element was quite well repres ented
in the Philadelphia delegation, but
this year the Quaker city sends II
of whom IL are pronounced conser-
vatives and the other is classed as
doubtful by that element, but is
claimed by the liberals.

Short Coal Effects Wheat.

CHICAGO, May 17.-Officials Of
the Grand Trunk announced on
board of trade today, that pending a
settlement Of the coal strikes, no
more grain would be received for
shipment. What coal is held by
the system will be reserved for the
morning passenger trains, and
perishable freight. The announce
ment caused additional weakness
in the wheat market as it was
thought it might foreshadow a
similar action on the part Of the
other roads.

The Dental Convention.

This mornings session was de-
voted entirely to discussion of pa
pers.
This afternoon up to 5 o'clock,
clinics were the topic. After this
hour the convention will go into
election of officers and select their
next place for convention.
Several dentists Of San Antonio
are not en- rapport with this asso-
citation, on the grounds that the
membership lines are not strictly
drawn, physicians of the regular
schools Of medicines being admit
ted. Besides, it is claimed,
the only safeguard the association
possessed, the rule providing for
examination before election of ap-
plicants, is now withdrawn and
the standard of the organization
has been lowered materially.

daughters house in Dallas, while
her daughter was sick, taking
the children with her. A few days
afterwards she wrote her daughter
from Sherman, saying she would
never see her or the children again.

and anxious to recover her chill
.dren. Mrs. Hamilt, when last
heard from, was working, and
gaining sympathy from the Masons
and Odd Fellows in the Southern
states and depends on them for
living. She also uses the name of
Mrs. d. A. Miller and claims to be
the wife of Confederate general.
She is stoop shouldered, has auburn

ent talker and associates with the
best people. A reward of $25 is
offered to any one knowing of

Helping Free Trade Kill off the
Sheen

FRESNO, CAL, May l7.--Returns
from the mountains are beginning
to come in and show the loss to
sheep men on account Of Mondays
storm, is far greater than at first
stated. AT one place 1000 sheep
were found frozen to death in one
heap, where they had tried to
find shelter among the trees.
The snow was two feet deep on top
of them. Thousands of sheep are
farther back, in the mountains,
and they cannot be reached on &C
count Of the snow. Hardly a pos
sibility that they can be saved.
III they were not frozen to death,
they will die from starvation be-
fore the snow melts.

Big Lumber Deal.

A big lumber deal, in which the
lumber firms Of the city, save one,
have combined and appointed a
committee to wait on that one and
make the offer on their entire
stock in order to retire them from
business, is on hand today, but is
not yet contaminated.
The action is due to the stated
fact that this firm could undersell
the others on account of wishing
to retire from business.

SNOW STORM.
Thirteen Thousand Head of Sheep
Persisted.

PerlSheQ.
SONORA, Cal, May ia severe
snow, rain and wind storm pre-
vailed in the Sierra Nevada foot
hills during Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, and it was most fatal
to sheep. The road from Sonora up
to Strawberry station, distance Of
80 miles is lined with dead sheep.
In the ravines and beside bowl
ders the dead animals are
piled two and three deep. The
storm was unusually severe for
this time of the year, and sheep,
having been sheared before enter
ing the county, were in an unfit
condition to meet wintry blasts.
Low estimates say at least $4,000
persisted.

THE WORK IN THE HOUSE.

The Free-Trade members of the
House Of Representatives in Con-
gress have succeeded, by disre-
garding the platform upon which
they were elected and by violating
their oaths of office, in passing a
bastard abortion bill under the
guise of Tariff reform, but which
is neither more nor less than a
Free-Trade measure, pure and
simple, as known to political
economists. Leaving these Jerry
Sneaks and sycophants to struggle
with their own consciences, if they
have any, and with their con-
stituents in 1894 and 1896, we
turn from such polluted politicians
who are stigmatized with shame,
who are furnished with turpitude,
and who will be forever begrimed
with the moldiness and mustiness
of the ruin and wreckage in which
such slammerkins delight to reek
and revel.
