than the 80 cent rate. it is recommend.
cd that miners aa individuals be per.
mitted to mako contracts at any rate, to
run until the annual meeting Of the
United Mine Workers which is called

Senior Simeues remained q month at
Constautinople; but, while there, he
refused to discuss the matter in any
form. he is now in London with
Woods Pasha, and no longer has reason
TO remain silent. He is disposed to lay
much OF the blame for the disturbed
conditions OF Armenia on the Ameri-
can Methodist missions in Asia Minor.
Ho says that they give the Armenians
superficial education out OF all pro-
portion to tho needs OF the community.
The pupils OF these missions, he adds,
are never satisfied to return to their
homes and work their land. They con-
tinually speak OF American liberty. In
