Illinois miners have been granted the 81

whereby the miners vii, in reality only

Matter of National Importance.
1T has become q matter of national i'm.
portance to stop the work of the Plum
Creek and Snowden mines. They are the
stumbling blocks to a settlement every.
where. We expect to establish a fair rate
of wages and the Illinois operators hope
to get control of the lake trade by this
move. With the money we get from the
Illinois miners we expect to establish
camps about the Plum Creek and Snow
den mines SO that the non-unicn men
will have to pass through our camps in
order to go to work and we can win them
over. There will be about $500 men in
each camp"

operators it was stated last night that the

operators is to arrive here Monday. The
miners are to hold n convention here Mon.

Improvement company at Pocahontas,
Va, stating that the men going to work
in his mine just over the line in this state
had been fired upon by Flat Top strikers.
The dispatch stated that application had
been made to the sheriff of Mercer county,
in this state, for protection, but that Off
Ger sympathized with the striker; and for
this reason would neither protect the
company's property nor apply for mill
tary aid
The governor wired Bullitt that appli.
cation for troops must come from the
civil authorities. and also wired Sheriff
Dangerfield of Mercer, to take the neces-
sary steps to protect property and prevent
violence, and also instructed Adjutant
General Holley, now at Bluefield, to in
vestigate the trouble and report. The
sheriff wired that he had heard nothing of
Bullitt wanting his property protected,
and that he would do all his power to
give him the necessary protection. Gen.
eral Holley wired that there was no need

In the case against Frank II. Cooper. for
contempt, after adjudging him guilty a
few days ago has refused to fix his pun
ishment and practically allowed him to
go free. The senate adjudged him guilty
of contempt by a vote of 20 ayes to ~
nays, President Gill casting the deciding
vote. Since that time Cooper is supposed
to have been in the custody OF Sergeant
alarms Anderson, but in reality he has
been enjoying n vacation and living at
the best hotel in town.
Before placing the order of commit
ment in the hands OF Anderson President
Gill secured the opinion Of the attorney
general. who held that before Cooper
could be imprisoned it would be neces-
sary for the senate to fix his punishment
for contempt. The attorney general ac-
cordinely prepared n resolution ordering
Cooper TO be imprisoned in the Sangamon
county Jail until he should answer the
questions relating to the gross earnings
of Seigel, Cooper Il Co. last year. This
resolution was defeated by vote of 16
ayes to - nays, and Cooper will not be
punished for his alleged contempt of the

WASHINGTON, May 10. - An official
dispatch from Toxic received ut the jap
anese legation states that the ratifications
Of the treaty Of peace between Japan and
China were exchanged at Che Foo on
Wednesday. No change was made in the
text Of the treaty as originally concluded.
Taking into account. however, the recon-
mendations made by Russia, Germany
and France, the japanese government
has agreed to renounce the permanent
possession of the Liau Tung peninsula on
condition that the arrangement regard.
ing the terms and form of remuneration
shall be reserved for adjustment between
itself and the government of China.
This latter stipulation is construed to
mean that Japan will not surrender the
peninsula until n suitable indemnity
shall have been paid, and that it may
have been agreed between Japan and
China that the possession OF Port Arthur
itself will be retained by the Japanese for
a term of years extending beyond the
date when the indemnity has been paid
in full, thus assuring to Japan not alone
the payment of the indemnity, but also
sufIi ;ient time TO safeguard herself
against anything like n war of reprisal.

Saws the Misunderstanding IL willful.
When General Underwood was seen by
a reporter he said: ''All protests, includ.
ing that of the Washington Post, against
what it presumed to call paying tribute
to the flag which represented the spirit of
disunion, and the triumph oe which
would have involved the destruction of a
great and glorious nation are due to an
apparent and willful misunderstanding of
the object of this celebration. Those who
protest against it are wholly incorrect and
unjust i'm their inference that the Confed-
crate flag is to be paradcd or upheld. Not
one word has ever emanated from me to
that effect; not n thought of attempting
such n thing has ever occurred to me.
No Flag to Fly but Old Glory.
"On the contrary the stars and stripes
has been carried by the Confederate
camp here since its organization, and will
bc borne by that same body and also
wave over the stand of the orator and the
guests. Every man of reason
know that the Confederacy is dead. that
its flag went down with it. There only
remains the battle flag, the starry cross
corps distinction of regiment, battery
or troop, which. like the roses ,of
Lancaster and York, or the eagles of
France. has become an archive record of
deeds of valor on fields of strife, compris-
ing one side OF a war that has served to
make the great renown OF the American
soldier co-extensive with the known uni
verse. Neither the Confederate flag,
whether the original stars and bars or the
last nag that went down at Appomattox,
nor even the battle cross insignia of a
corps in action will in any way be paraded
