COAL MINERS NAY STRIKE
Railroad Operators and Their Men
Fail to Agree-There Are 5000
Men Affected.

Pittsburg Pa, Dec 11.--When the
joint convention of railroad coal opera
tors and miners met this morning the
scale committee appointed yesterday re-
ported that they were unable to agree.
The miners ultimatum was "a cents
per ton from January 1 to March l and
20 cents for the following ten months,
while the operators offered 60 cents
for the first two months and IS cents
for the balance of the year.
An exciting discussion then followed
and the committee was discharged. The
convention is now trying to patch up a
temporary agreement until the confer
ence is held with the Ohio operators to
fix the differential. If settlement is
not effected there will be a general strike
involving 5000 miners in this district.
Upon the rejection by the miners of a
proposition to work for 60 cents per ton
until January l, the convention ad-
iourned sine die.
The miners then went into secret ses-
sion to take action on the offer made by
the operators.

IS AT A STANDSTILL.
Great Britain's Offer OF SettieHen.
Does Not Meet with Popu-
lar Approval.

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 1.-THE I'M
official reports from Venezuela that
serious agitation has sprung up. against
the boundary settlement agreed on pc
tween the United States and Great Brlt-
ain causes much surprise ana no ntIe
concern in official quarters here.
Minister Andrade and James j. Stor-
row were to have sailed from La Quay
ia, the seaport of Caracas, yesterday
noon on the steamer Philadelphia ana
the boat was expected to reach New
York the 10Th. Mr.. Andrade had ca
bled the time of his leaving, as given
in the Associated press dispatches on
had added an official cablegram to MI.
Olney stating that President Crespo, APP
proved the agreement and would can an
extra session of Congress to rahty II.
For this reason the reports that Mr..
Andrade and Mr.. Storrow will not re-
turn at present owing to expected devel-
opments growing out of the agitation
rass, and possibly imperil the final adj
justment which had been confidently eX-
pected at an early day. The trouble
seems to be that the Venezuelans feel
that they have been sighted because
Great Britain saw fit to provide for the
settlement of the questions through the
offices of the United States instead of
and other officials realize that this is a
proper diplomatic proceeding and entails
no loss Of dignity to Venezuela, but the
people do not see it this way and 1t
looks as if their protest has become so
emphatic that the officials hesitate to
proceed further.
Up to the present time President
Crcspo has not called an extra session
and thirty days must expire after the
call before the Congress meets. Ihls
has led to question whether Venezuela
should bear the heavy expense of an eX-
ira session converting only one month
before the regular session of Febru-
airy 20.
The Venezuelan papers which reached
Washington on the last steamer are
being carefully scanned, but they. are
very guarded and appear to be subject
to some government advisement on the
subject. The arrival of Mr.. Andrade
and Mr.. Storrow and their conferences
with President Crespo are not men
toned the only reference being an eu-
logistic welcome to Mr.. Storrow. La
Liberal treats the settlement as adj
vantageous and says it not only aids
Venezuela, but establishes a great prec-
edent by which the United States
Stands as sentinel in front of the
American republics against European
greed for dominion.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 1.-THE in

issued a preliminary report on the in
come and expenditures of the railways
in the United States for the year ending
June 80, 1896. prepared by it's statis-
tician.
From the interest and Importance that

The statement submitted presents the
chief items of an income account by ten
territorial groups for Coz roads, repre-
senting an operating mileage of 172,369

DRASTIC COPYRIGHT LAW PASSED.
I'm prisonment the Penalty in Musical
and Dramatic Infringements.


Washington. D. c., Dec. 11.-Without
hesitation and by an overwhelming ma
jority the House yesterday passed one of
the most drastic copyright laws ever pat
on the statute books. 1t came from the
Senate, where it was passed in May last,
and as the amendments were only verbal
it will probably go to the President for
his signature.
1t concerns only dramatic and musical
compositions, but the provisions of the
new law are unusually severe. In the
first place it is provided that any person
publicly performing or representing with
out the consent of the author any copy
righted dramatic or musical composition
shall be liable for damages of not less
than S1OO for the first and 500 for every
subsequent performance. 1t is also pro-
vided that any performance which is
shown to be willful and for profit shall
make the person or persons responsible
therefor guilty of a misdemeanor, the
punishment for which shall be inlprison-
ment for period of not exceeding one
year There is not even the alternate of
a fine and imprisonment is made the only
penalty.

TROUBLE IN ALASKA.
Alleged that Liquor and Fisheries
Men Openly Violate the!
Io,y.

Port Townsend, Wash. Dee. 12.-The
district court is in session at Juneau,
Alaska, and Judge Delaney delivered a
sensational charge to the grand jury i'll
which he quoted from published report
some severe ASPIRATIONS on the admins
tration of justice in the territory of
Alaska.
1t is directly charged in this report. on
the authority of prominent citizens. that
it is practically impossible to secure con-
victions in the territory OF Alaska for
violations of the liquor and fisheries law.
because the liquor men and canncry men
so combine that it is impossible to secure
a Jury that will convict.
The Judge charged the grand jury to
either indict the men who are thus openly
charged with defiance of the law or else
those who are responsible for the publi-
cation referred to for libel and Islander.

the Central American states, and al
though Senior Rodriguez, the regularly

is not understood that any discourtesy is
intended in this delay nor any lack of

the President has cherished the idea
that the consolidation of the smaller

to the benefit of their citizens. But so

run with insurgents as was
RepOrted.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 12.-The ar
rival of Gen. Weyler at Havana has
been communicated to the Spanish lesa-
ton, the circumstances being substan-
tally those given i'll Associated press
dispatches from Havana. In addition
the fact is made known that Gen. Wey-
Ter, having brought with him two squad
rons of cavalry, traversed all the region
of Pinar del Rio province and thence
through Havana province, which it had
been said were oyerrun with the lnsur-
gents. The successful march of these
two squadrons. headed by the Spanish
commander is accepted as showing con-
clusively that those sections are com
paratively free from insurgents and that
-heir forces are in no such number as
has been reported.
Concerning the reported detention OF
the ship Laurada at the seaport town
near Valencia. Spain, no special signif-
canoe is attached to the subject except
as indicating a purpose on the part OF
Cuban sympathizers in the United States
to arouse feeling on the ground that the
ship is an American merchantmen, en-
gagged in commercial transactions.
n Spanish division in the North of
Pinar del Rio attacked, during the morn
Ing of December 10, the nsurgent
camps of Perico and Lopez at Rosario

of the insurgents was captured and the
enemy retreated. The Spanish lost Il
lieutenant-colonel, two lieutenants and
eighteen soldiers wounded and had one
captain and five soldiers killed.
