MINERS Walk OUT.

= General Strike is Threatened at Leaven-
worth-3oO Have Already Struck.
LEAvENwoRTH. Oct. 21.-The 800 min
ers employed at the North Leavenworth
coal shaft quit work this morning and
visited the Home Riverside mines for
the purpose of inducing the men en-
ployed there to quit. The North Leven-
worth company is paying 80 cents ton
for mine run coal and the Home COM
pany 70 cents
The walk out is to force the Home
Riverside company to pay 80 cents. A
mass meeting of miners will be held to-
night and a general strike seems almost
certain as the Riverside people are not
disposed to accede to the demands made
Trouble was threatened at the Leaven :
worth shaft a short time ago over some
feeling between he regular miners union
and the organization Of colored miners
This has all been fixed up and the two
organizations are said to be getting along
together in harmonious manner at
present
1t is said that the superintendent of
the Leavenworth mine notified his eln
ployes that a cut from so to 20 cents a
ton will be made in the price OF mining
unless the other mines in the city pay so
cents ton.
The HomeSRiverside Mining company
has only been paying 70 cents ton for
several months and the officials of the
Leavenworth shaft say they cannot com
pete with this mine and pay ten cents
more ton for mining.
AT the miners meeting, when it was
decided to quit work Monday, this reso-
luton was adopted:
"Whichever company will pay the
price, eighty cents per ton. the miners
at that mine will donate twenty per
cent of their earnings to the men
out of work. until the prices
are settled in all the shafts
The twenty per cent to be. taken out at
the Office and distributed equally among
the idle miners by any competent COM
mittee selected by them for that pur-
pose"
Mem bers of the miners union claim
that thew have many members in the
Home Riverside mines and that there
will be big walk-o out

Senator CuIIom Says That He Betrayed

Senator Cullom Says That He Betraye ed
John sherman.
MILWAUKEE, Oct 21.-The Journal to-
night will say: Senator Sherman's book
Just from the press is reViving a great
deal of unwritten history in regard to
the national Republican convention of
1889 when James A. Garfield was NOM
mated for the presidency. In his book
Senator Sherman without making di-
rect charge, intimates that Garfield as
his manager for the race for presidential
nomination betrayed him.
The sons of the late President Garfield
deny this and threaten Il complete expose
of the affair. In 1883, while en- route
Milwaukee to Washington, II representa-
tiAe of the Journal met Congressman
John Finnerty of Chicago and was by MIN
introduced to Senator Cullom of Illinois,
and in the course OF the conversation
that followed Senator Cullom referred to
the national convention of 1880.
Among other things he mentioned was
the fact that a secret meeting had been
called by Gen. Garfield of leading men
of the party whom ne could trust, to be
held before the opening of the couven-
tion in the parlor of the Grand Pacific
hotel Senator Cullom was present at
this meeting and so was E r. Wash
burne of Illinois, then in the race as
presidential candidate.
General Garfield then and there out
lined his plans by which he was him
self to secure the nomination, which so
disguised Washburne thai. he got up and
left the meeting without saying word,
A few hours later. Garfield went into the
convention and nominated Senator Sher-
man with a eulogy that was the greatest
effort Of mis- life, while his henchmen in
different parts Of the convention hall did
their part in his own behalf.

It is announced that all the candidates for the Yale crew have been vaccinat- ed, and it is expected that in few days the arms of some or all of them will be as sore as the hearts of the Harvard crew are after meeting with Yale. And speaking of Harvard row ing, why could not the vaccination of the Yale crew be made the basis of an interesting experiment? No way has yet been found to put into the Harvard crew the spirit that animates the Yale crew and makes iU victorious, Why not try vaccination? Some of the op- ponents of vaccination argue that much that is in one person can be transmitted to another by means of vaccination. If the Harvard oarsmen could be vaccin- ated from the Yale oarsmen is there not a bare possibility that they would be inocculated with the bacilh of vic torious rowing? Perhaps the expert ment wouldn't be a success, but it is worth trying. It Is evident that the bacilli of victorious rowing do not exist at Harvard, and 1t is equally evident that Yale Is full of them, Harvard is great in Arts and Sciences. We com mend this vaccination idea to some of her scientific gentlemen. The germ theory and the known workings of vac- cination give them good ground to ex- neriment unon.
