Two Revolutionary Suspects from

For some weeks past there has

The visitors, according TO in
formation received, had mapped

most available points on the islands
to land guns and ammunition.

MINERS WILL STRIKE.
Over $1,000 of Them Threaten to go Out
Soon.

Pittsburg, March 5.-The coal miners
and operators of Pittsburg district met
today in conference, but failed to agree
and a strike will probably be ordered to-
morrow, which will affect between $4,000
and 10000 men.
The new operators association met this
morning and took in 20 new members.
A discussion of the trade was begun,
but an interruption was caused by the
entrance of committee from the mining
convention, who presented resolution
demanding 60 cents for mining and asked
that committee be appointed to confer
with them on the subject. The operators
appointed such n committee. The com
mittee then went into secret session,
which lasted until nearly midnight.
The result of the conference leaves the
situation just as it was before the con
ference. Both sides insist on their de-
mands. The miners committee will re
port TO the convention tomorrow and If
the men carry out their expressed inten-
ton n strike will be ordered at once.
President Cairns, of the local district
denies emphatically that he sent out an
order last night ordering strike, and il
any such thing was done it was not with
his approval. The miners convention sci
a scale for machine mining. 1t was
equivalent to 80 cents and is the same as
the present scale, with the exception OF
an advance of cents ton from loading
from Jeffrys machine.

THE BIG PUMPS
THEY WILL BE STARTED UP To
MORROW.
They Will Move Slowly at First and Then
Speed Increased Until the Mains
and Pumps are Put to

At a meeting of the board of public
works yesterday the question of start
ing the pumps was informally brought up
and it was announced that they would
probably be started tomorrow or the next
day.
At first they will be made to move slow
ly so as to give the engineers opportunity
to regulate them. At certain points fric-
ton will have to be reduced, while at
others journals may be too loose. It is
the case with all new machinery.
The pumps will move at a minimum
velocity for day or two with all the fire
hydrants open, thus permitting q thor
ough cleaning of the pipes. The speed
will be gradually increased until all the
air is forced from the mains and pipes
and then the hydrants will be closed and
the supreme test made of the pumps and
the pipe lines. At this test the pressure
will be put on until it reaches 1O6 pounds
to the square inch, and it will be kept at
that pressure several days to give the
pipes and connections a complete test. =
this test the fire pressure will be pnt OF,
trial and the fire boys with their hose
will see how high they can throw water
Due notice will be given the public
when they are wanted to see the pumps
moving and the test made. For a day or
Two, as already said, the pumps must
move slowly for some time, to properly
regulate their motion.

HISTORY OF THE CASE.

New York, March 4.-The decision of
the supreme court of the United States,
handed down today, unusually sustaining
the decision of the lower court in the
case of the Bate Refrigerating company
against Sulsberger, is probably more far
reaching in it's influence and affects
larger amount of property than any de-
csOn of the court since the 'greenback"
cases were disposed of. This decision not
only settles the controversy between the
parties directly interested, viz: The
General Electric company and the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company on the one
side and the Westinghouse and the Anti
Bell Telephone company on the other,
but also disposes of very large number
of other patents which the public has
assumed to- have expected under the rul-
ing of the lower court and it also shortens
the life of great many patents which
have not yet actually expired.
The decision is against the position
taken by the General Electric company
and the American Bell Telephone compa-
ny, and those associated with them upon
the appeals, and affirms the'decsion pre-
viously rendered by the United States
circuit court in this city.
A considerable number of very broad
lpatents owned by the General Electric
company are also disposed of by this
decision, including Mr.. Edison's patents
| upon the incandescent lamp, regarding
which there has been so much litigation
upon the multiple arc system of dis
tribution, which was recently held to be
valid by Judge Cox. n I'll. ,..g
The history of the case of the Bate
Refrigerator company against Salsberger
| is very interesting. The case involves
directly a very small sum of money and
1.-THE compliments would probably have
meyer thought it worth while to bring the
case to hearing had it not been that the
lawyers of the General Electric company
and the Bell Telephone company discov-
cred that this case directly involved the
point in which they were so vitality inter
ested and would furnish the earliest op-
lportunity of bringing it before the supreme
court The result was that the COM
plainant soon found itself represented in
court by such eminent and expensive
counsel as James G. Carter and James
| j. Starr of Boston, counsel for the Bell
Telephone company and ex-Commissioner
l. of Patents Charles q. Mitchell of
New York, counsel for the General Flee
/ trio company. No sooner had these en-
inent councillors put in an appearance
than Sulsberger found himself repre-
sented by the eminent counsel retained
by the Westinghouse Electric company
and the American Bell Telephone com.
'pany, including Wheeler II. Peckham.

ABOUT THE MOON.
A Few Facts for the Consideration of
the Youthful Astronomer.

A Few Facts for the Consideration of
the Youthful Astronomer.
The discovery OF the mountains on the
moon by Calico were among the first
results of the invention of telescopes. A
very ordinary modern glass reveals them,
and q telescope of or 5 inches aperture
shows them in much detail; an endless
delight for the observer. Over 10000
of them have been charted on maps of
the moon. Nearly all those mountains
have ring-like form, with the CEN
trail area depressed, often to n lower level
than that of the surrounding country,
as is shown by the relative length of the
internal and external shadows. The di-
ameter of the rings varied greatly, some
Of the larger being 80, 100, or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like little
dots in large telescopes. Their height
above the surrounding plains may be as
much as three or four miles, this being
less than the highest of terrestrial noun
tains, but greater in proportion to the
size of the moon than any of our noun
tains are to the earth. On account of
the resemblance of these ring mountains
to certain terrestrial volcanoes, it has
long been concluded that they were pro-
duced by volcanic action, although no GER
tain sign of volcanic activity has been
detected by direct observation. This
conclusion is very generally accepted, yet
there are reasons for questioning it, or
at least for holding an open mind with
regard to the origin of the rings and crat-
ers Of the moon.
In the first place, nearly all the volCa-
noes of the earth have large cone and
a relatively small crater, while the re-
verse is true of the moon. 1t is true that
in certain terrestrial volcanic districts
the upper portion of the cones have been
in some way destroyed-blown off or fall
en- in-leaving deep and broad depres-
sion called caldera, inclosed by ringlike
walls. For example, in Italy several
such calderas contain lakes of roughly
circular outline. Similar basins occur
on the Azores, in Sumatra, and elsewhere;
but by far the greater number of ter
restial volcanoes are of the large cone
and smaller crater varieties. Hence if
the ring mountains on the moon are of vol
canic origin, they represent phase of
volcanic activity that is exceptional, and
not prevalent on the earth.
There is one very curious thing about
the movement of the moon. Although
it goes around us once monitor
month, as / like to call tive see only
one side of it. The other side is entirely
unknown, as it is always turned away
from the earth. Some persons argue
from this that the moon does not ro-
tate on its axis; but such an opinion i'm
plies wrong impression of rotation.
Rotation consists in turning so as to face
in every direction successfully all around
the compass The moon certainly has
this motion for during the period of a
moonth, while it is moving around the
earth it turns its visible side toward us
from all directions.
The curious fact here involved is not
that the moon does not rotate, but that
it rotates on its axis in the same period
as it revolves around the earth-IIarper' S
