PITTSBURG, Pa. July 31.-At the con-
ference this, afternoon. between the oper-
ators and miners, operators offered COM
promise rate to go into effect until Nov l.
when they agree to pay the 6s-cent rate
and make the rate general all over the
Pittsburg district 1t is understood the
compromise price was IS cents. The con-
ference continued until late tonight, but
the miners officials refused to accept the
compromise on the ground that they do
not believe all the operators would accept
such terms voluntarily. They further state
that the chances Of a successful strike
are greater now than they have been for
years because allq the operators are be-
hind on their contracts on account of
car famine. 1t is held that If the miners
are allowed to resume the operators will
be in good shape to fight their demands
in November, and the strike would have to
be made in the winter months The COM
promise will be submitted to the conven-
ton tomorrow, but the miners officials

The j. 5. OUT OF IT.
May Not Take a Hand In
Nicaraguan Affairs,
In Which Great Britain is Now
So Deeply Interested.
Sens alton at Washington Over the
Serious Situation.

The demand Of Great Britain upon Mica
ragua for the payment of Gl5,000 indemnity
before April l6 next for the atfront to the
British crown implied In the alleged wrong
full expulsion of the British pro-consul, Hat h.
is quite the sensation Of the recess in official
Washington. What more than anything else
makes it so is the fact that Great Britain
insists that the claims of Hatch and other
British subjects for "a nagcs alleged to have
been sustained shall be submitted to a mixed
commission-one to be appointed by Mica
ragua, one by Great Britain and the third to
oe selected by them, but mot to be citizen
Of any American republic.
This stipulation, as originally given ont by
he Nicaraguln representatives, was mot to
be citizen of the U. s." This statement
gave opportunity for technical denial on the
part of British representatives, who said that
no such undiplomatic and insulting discrim-
nation had been made against the U. s..
But that Mexico, Chile, Venezuela, Brazil and
other American Republics are included with
the U. S. in the embargo does not render the
fact that the U. s. is deliberately shut out
from participation in matter OF such great
importance to the integrity of the American
continent any the less serious.
Rear Admiral Jouett, in an interview pub
lished, called attention to the fact that
by a treaty with New Granada (now the U.
s. OF Columbia) made III 1916, the U. S. OF
America guaranteed not only the perfect neu-
tralty of the Isthmus OF Panama, but also
the rights, property and sovereignty which
Columbia might have and possesses over the
Isthmus.
II don't know how such a treaty came to
be made" he said, "Yet the United States
was made responsible for the neutrality OF
the Isthmus and for the preservation OF
Columbia from invasion"
Discussing the situation in Nicaragua, Adj
miral Jouett said that the U. S. had agreed
to protect any line Of inter-oceanic communi-
cation across that country and guarantee its
neutrality and innocent use But no such
route had been opened in Nicaragua, and the
cases we're not exactly parallel The U. s.,
he thought, could hardly Interfere with Great
Baitain In an effort to collect damages under
lust claim. For we have ourselves set a
precedent by bombarding Greytown In 1853
Even il Great Britain should take possession
of the custom house at Greytown, the act
would not be without precedent, although il
that case we would have to be very careful tc
see that the camel, after putting his nose il
at the window, did not enter with his whole
body"

THEY MUST GO BACK.
Diamond Cutters Who Came Under
Contract From Belgium.

In the second cabin Of the White Star
steamship Majestic, which arrived recently
at New York, were l25 diamond cutters
from Belgium. AS soon us the vessel arrived
at her dock, Special Inspector McKim of the
immigration bureau boarded her, and told
the diamond cutters that they would have to
go with him to Ellis island until the treasury
department decided whether or not they
should be allowed 10 remain in this country.
Secretary Carisle's order regarding the ex-
clusion OF diamond cutters relates only to
those who come under contract At the
end of the dock the tug William Fletcher was
in waiting, and when all of the baggage had
been examined the diamond cutters boarded
the tug and were taken to Ellis Island. Forty
of the suspects were examined. Twenty of
these will be deported for having come here
under contract, and 20 will be deported be-
cause they are paupers. Many OF the men
admitted that they had come to this country
under contract with New York or Brooklyn
houses.
The steamer Westsrnland brought over re-
Gently l3 men who were also examined. One
of them testified that he and the other II had
been engaged by Coalermau, Heinrich & Co.,
of Antwerp TO go to Cincinnati and work for
Coalerman, Heinrich 4 Keck of that city.
They will all be sent back. This concern Is
liable to fine of 81, 900 for each of the 13
men imported. The steamer Werkendam
from Rotterdam brought over 40 to 60 sus-
poets who have not yet been examined.

LEPER IN NEW YORK.
Remarkable Case Which Has Not Been
Reported to Board of Health.

There has been living in tenement house
in New York at intervals during the last six
wears man suffering from a most pronounced
case of leprosy. With him have resided his
wife and five children. In the same house
are 90 other families. The case has been
brought to the notice of at least two practic-
ing physicians in the city, but it has never
been reported to the board OF health.
The man has served during these years in
the capacity of cook, waiter and storekeeper
on several steamships running from N. u.
Dr. Ashmea1. who examined the patient, was
was asked why it had not been reported TO
the local board of health. ''fhere Is no law
compelling such course, he replied. "As
an American citizen the man Is entitled TO
some consideration. Because he is a leper
does not warrant the government In cutting
off his chance of obtaining livelihood and
supporting his family by shutting him up IN
a lazaretto." The doctor refused to tell the
mans name.
The case is a most remarkable one from the
fact that the disease 1t is supposed was caused
by the sticking of the sharp fin OF a red snap
per into the lieshy part of the thumb, pene-
trating through TO the bone. 1t has long
been a theory Of experts in this disease that
there is a connection between leprosy and the
1nnv tribes as found in the warm tropical
seas. This case is thought to substantiate In
some respects this theory. The accident
occurred about six years ago. The man was
cleaning red snapper, when he puncturea
his thumb with one of the bones OF the I'M
lust behind the gills, which has the reputa-
tion among sailors of being poisonous. HIS
married daughter and his two boys are now
said to have premonitory symptoms OF the
disease.

A very serious fall has taken place

A very serious fall has taken place
in the price of horses in Paris, also in
various French towns, says the Phila-
delphia Record. This is said TO be
mainly due to the extraordinary IN.
crease in the number of bicycles and
tricy ycles, the production being during
last year excessive namely, over 100,.
900 more than in the year prior.
The complaint is bitter on tue part of
horsedealers, who say the bicycle is
taking their bread away; but they
must, like the rest of society, suffer
for the benefit of the million.

that mammoth flesh thus preserved

LYNN'S MILK TRADE.
Corporation Formed to s'Freeze Out
Dealers I'm the Lacteal Fluid.

In small town just across the New Hamp-

formed to be known as the Lynn dairy sup
ply company; A 1.-THE officers except the secre-
tary, who is q citizen of Maine, are residents
of Lynn, Mass The capital is $1,000, and L.

hall, treasurer, and John ]. Sheehan, Edwin
P. Hall and F. NJ. Phillips were chosen as
directors.

Immediately ask for incorporation under
Maine laws, are large milk dealers in Lynn
and the surrounding towns, and the company
was formed, so it is stated, for the purpose OF
controlling that business in Lynn and vicin-
ity From one of the men in the company

begin war on other dealers and cut prices
below the figure that the dealers outside of
the company have lately established. The

virtually control the milk and butter business
in Lynn, and most Of the milk sold by them
is received from New Hampshire.
