Coal Miners Union.

1t is probable that at tie meeting in
Ogden on May % union will be form
ed including all the coal and metallif-
erous miners of Colorado, New Mexico,
Utah and Wyoming. If the project is
carried out, the new organization will
be the most powerful labor body in the
west, and, with wise guidance, may
accomplish much good. Misdirected, it
could work grave evil AS the leaders
are conservative and tBusty men the

SATURN'S RINGS.
Professor Keller of Pittsburg Settles q
Long Agitated Question.

The mystery of Saturn's rings has
been solved, and along with the solu-
ton come valuable suggestions regard
ing the forces which control the move
ments of planets.
Professor Keller of the Allegheny
observatory has demonstrated by spec
trum analysis and photography that
the rings of Saturn are zones Of loose
matter, the motion of the pieces near
est the planet being much more rapid
than that of those farthest from it and
with varying velocity between the ex-
tremes
This varying motion is similar to
that of water in stream; that in the
center going more rapidly than that
nearer the shores or bottom, where the
friction retards it.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

HISTORY OF THE TROUBLE.
The Facts OF the Dispute Between Nicara-
qua and Britain. -

The present difficulty grew out of o
war between Nicaragua and Honduras,
in December, 1898, when Honduras
troops seized Cape Graoiana Dios, in
Nicaragua, about 90 miles above the
Mosquito strip.
The Kearsarge was ordered to Blue
fields. but was wrecked on Roncador
reef Early in February the Nicaraguan
government sent military force to the
Mosquito strip to head off the threat
ened invasion, and on Feb, II took pos
session of Bluefields and proclaimed
martial law on the Mosquito reserva-
tion, an act against which Chief Clar-
ence of the Mosquito Indians protested.
Warships were sent to the scene by the
United States and Great Britain.
The Nicaraguan government finally
established another chief in place of
Chief Clarence, and he was recognized
by this country, but not by Great Brit
ain, although the British assured the
United States that she asserted no rights
of sovereignty over the Mosquito strip,
but respected the paramount sovereignty
of Nicaragua.
Chief Clarence became fugitive and
sought refuge i'll Jamaica. The Nicara-
guam government banished British Vice
Consul Hatch and nine others, who
were made prisoners. The British gov
eminent demanded that the Nicaraguan
government pay Mr.. Hatch So, 900 and
make suitable reparation to other Brit
ish subjects who suffered by the edict of
expulsion. The NicaraguaD government,
in reply to this ultimatum, asked that
the entire dispute be referred to COM
mission. New York Herald.

CHEAP STAMPS FOR SALE.
The Canadian COunterfeiter Has Moved
His Headquarters to Mexico.

His Headquarters to Mexico
The supply of cheap cent postage
stamps is now in Mexico. Until the ex-
posure recently the place where stamps
could be bought at an unusually large
discount was Hamilton, Ont. The pub
LEGATION of the fact that the stamps for
sale at that place were counterfeits
broke up the business and sent the man
ager, George Morrison, into exile.
Even in repatriation he seemed to
know a good thing and tried to get into
the advertising columns of The Tribune
again. The following was received a
few days since:
CINCINNATI, April 12.-Advertising Depart
ment Tribune: Please insert the following adj
vertisement in your paper
"Win sell $125 worth U. S. cent stamps for
500, G. o. D. Geo. Morrison, Monterey, Nue.

This announcement is better offer
than the former one, which was to give
$115 worth of stamps for 500. -Chica-

LIKE SIAMESE TWINS.
Pair of Girl Babies, Strangely United,
Born In New York.


Persephone was not quite decided
whether or not she should give twins
to Mr.. and Mrs j. Koehler of New
York, and the result is pair of baby
girls whose bodies are strangely united.
The newcomers present phenome-
non which has no parallel in medical
annals. The babies are joined diagonal
ly from the lower part of the spinal col
umn to the upper part of the pelvis
1t is believed that the bones known
as the sacrum and coccyx are identical
in both bodies Another singular fea-
ture of the case is that the children,
though joined at the back, are able to
face to the front, owing to some elastic
ity of the li2aments aud flesh at the
place of juncture. They have each the
complete quota of organs and limbs
separate and distinct.
The babies together weigh about ID
pounds, but there is quite difference
in their size, one being fully pound
and a half heavier than the other.
While they are of German parentage
they promise to be brunettes
The father is 35 years old, the moth
er 80, and both are of good stock. Mr..
Koehler is a caterer and has been in
this country seven years.
Mrs. Koehler is getting on very we'll,
another unusual thing, since records
show that events of this character are
attended with great peril to the mother.
There have been only six similar
cases. and curiously enough divided
among six different nations-Hunga-
rian, African, Italian, Siamese, Amer
lean and Indian. New York Herald.
