contract The papers were signed to.
night which increase the wages OF l00,-
900 miners in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana and IllinoiG The terms OF the
agreement are that tho present rate of
wages shall continue In force until oc.
tobsr /, when every operator in the
Pi.nburgh district will pay the sixty.
nine cent rate with q dllTerentlAl Of flys
cents In favor OF tho operators who do
not have company stores The agree
msnt further provides for another ad.
vance on January /. It 10 understood
that tho rate will then be made 10 cents.
Above all, W. T. DeArmitt, who has
whipped the minera At every turn here.
.oiore, has been brought over and will
pay tho Sixty'tour cent rate, AS he does
not have company store
The effect OF this settlement IL to ad.
vance the mining rate In Ohio and In.

evidence Of this came to-day when w.
P. Rsnd, Of Chicago. offered to abolish
bis company store at RsiSiug. Pa, aud
agreed TO loan the miners money enough
10 operate it on cooperative basis.
As another result Of the compromise
the operators proposs'to form a new as
Socation on different lines from the old
one, and every operator In the district
will be included in Its membership.
Practically all the credit for the victory
is being given IN Secretary Treasurer
Pat McBryds. who mapped out the en-
tire campaign.
Another feature Of the miners vic.
tory is that convention Of miners aud
operators is to be held on the second
Thursday OF October In each year TO fix
the mining rate for the next year so
that the rate for each year can be set
tied before the scale year expires. The
first joint convention under this agree.
ment is TO be held next October, and the

The COlumblR's Test Trip Demonstrates
We Have Another Cruiser that Beats
Europe for speed.
WAsuINoroN, August 2.-There was
general rejoicing In tho navy depart
mOnt to-day when the Associated Press
buiietin was read announcing the at
rival Of the Columbia of Sandy Hook,
and her remarkable time OF lS,4O knots
per hour. Assistant Secretary McAdoo
expressed the greatest pleasure over the
fast time made by the cruiser, He
went TO the West Indies aboard the Co.
lumbia, and was confident from the
start that she weald aGfuit herself hand
gomely on this trial across the Atlantic.
The Columbia, which mRdo the trip In
days, hour aud 10 minutes, beat the
time Of the New York by two days, and
previous 70 this trip the New York had
the best record ot any warship crossing
the Atlantic.
Mr., McAdoo said to-day that there
was no longer any doubt about the
speed Of the Columbia, aud that she
could no doubt oysrtake any vessel
ailoat on n spuTt; that 10, II q vessel was
sighted in the morning the Columbia
could come up With her before night.
The Minneapolis is her equal, " not
superior, aud the record Of the Colum'
bia shows that the United States has
the two fastest ships ahaat
A prominent naval officer pointed out
what he considered the most gratifying
points concerning this Spesd trial, He
said that when all the conditions under
which the Columbia made her run arc
considered, the results muAt jbe regard
cd as remarkable. In the fist place he
said, the coal, while good. and probably
much better than the cheap variety
usually supplied our vessels at home,
was not the bsIt quality OF Welsh coal.
Then again the engine dOpoIs oil our
cruisers arc not as fully equipped as
either the ships Of the merchant service
or as those OF foreign governments, aud
consequently the endurance OF the men
In tho engine aud fire rooms 10 more
severely taxed. As nm illnStEation Of
this fact, II Ia only necessary 10 give the
following comparison between the Coll
umbia and tho English cruiser Terrible;
Columbia, Terrible.
Horse power ........,.~...-....... 2O,O1l 2o,Ol

In other words the work on the en-.
gineer officers il Just sixty per cent
harder on the Columbia than on the
English ship, while the men in our ship
have to do ons-third more work than do
the men in the other service.
Among mon OF war there is absolutely
nothing to compare the Columbia with,
as none OF them ever has made such
run, and none could, not only because
they do not carry the coal, but because
they have not the power.
