WANT A RAISE IN WAGES
Miners and Operators Hold
\. ing Separate Secret
Conferences.

PHTsBURa. Pa, March Ten thou
sand railroad miners in. the Pittsburg
district have struck for an advance Of
IA cents per ton, OF SO cents, the Column
bus agreement. "a secret circular was
sent out Monday night ordering the
strike. Tho operators and miners are
now holding separate secret sersions.
When the convention djourned every
delegate having Geographic commune
cation with his constituency obeyed in
structions and wired home that the
strike was on. This action was kept
secret. It is stated that not another
ounce Of coal will be mined in the COM
munities so notified until the rate is
recognized. The sentiment for the alb
rogated scale price and no compromise
prevails in the district. The plan was
laid in convention to notify or confer
with the association of operators. The
demand for an immediate strike was SO
strong that it was ordered, and all other
matters pertaining to it We're lost sight

y. PITTsAURG, Pa, March 6.--Notwith-
standing the claim that the strike of
10000 miners in this district has been
ordered, the officials Of the miners or
ganization deny that any such action
has been taken. The committees Of op-
orators and miners have been appointed
to confer on the mining rates. The pro-
ceedings Of both the operators and the
miners conventions are being kept
secret, and rulnors are difficult to verify.

Chicago Has n Want,

The Chicago Times Herald, whose
proprietor. j. w. Scott, died a week
ago, passed into the possession Sat-
urday evening of H. H. Kohlsaat,
formerly of the Inter-Ocean. MIR.
Kohlsaat is a rock-ribbed republican,
and hence at once changed the entire
complexion of the paper. making 1t
radically republican, although main
tanning an adherence to an indepen-
dent policy. The paper, embracing
as it does in its consolidated form all
that there is of journal representa-
tive in an aggressive sense OF the
democratic party in Chicago. splen-
did field is left for a paper there cor
rectly voicing the doctrines of the
party. The papers new declaration
Of principles is contained in the sal
utatory Of the new management thus:
The policy of the Times-Herald
under its new ownership will be that
Of an earnest, patriotic American
newspaper. 1t will be wholly indie
pendent of party ties. striving for
that which is best for the nation,
needless of the dictates of mere par
tisanship. In national affairs, while
avoiding alliance with any party, ii
will always forcefully and earnestly
advocate the doctrine of protection
to American industry. Under that
protective system, rs experience has
shown, is the surest means of ad-
vancing commercial and industrial
prosperity and the easiest and
most equitable method OF raising
revenue. The paper is absolutely
opposed to the free coinage Of silver
by this nation at the ratio of 16 to
or at any other ratio. In local al
fairs there will be no color of parti-
sanship in the attitude OF the Times.
Herald. 1t will hold personal fines:
the only qualification for Office
whether elective or aPpointive. The
spirit as we'll as the letter of the
civil service reform law must be Oh
served in the management Of thu
municipal corporation il the ends o
the people are to be honestly and eff
fectively served. The politics of tn,
individual have no bearing upon hi.
fitness to serve the people in munich
pal Office. Honesty, intelligence
efficiency should be the sole tests
Upon this simple platform the Times
Herald takes the stand: Politica
independence at all times; protection
to American industries; sound none
and complete nonpartisanship in mu
nicipal affairs"

State Superintendent Inglis has
rendered an opinion that candidate
for a certificate to teach school can
not lawfully be required to pass ex-
aminatiops on topics other than those
mentioned by the statute, and such
matters as shall relate to his moral
character and capability as teacher.
He also renders an opinion regard
ing the division of school funds
when an old district has been
divided into two, one having a new
school house building and not
enough funds to build house for
the other district. He holds the
funds must be equally divided.

difficulty now in running such a line
as is wanted, where other surveys
have had considerable trouble. The
