VICTORY Is WITH TIE STRIK-

of the strilze-Increase
Amounts to Ten Cents Per Ton
Cloakmakers' Periodical Strike
Six Labor Legislators Elected to
the Belfast Council.

Chicago, Nov 26.-The coal mining
strike in the northern Illinois district
ended today Twelve thousand have
gone back to work in the Coal City,
Braidwood, Carbon Hill, Spring Valley,
Lodi, Seatonville, Lasalle and Oglesby
fields. One thousand men remain out
at Streator, the only point where min
ers and operators have not agreed. A
settlement is expected within a week.
Victory is with the miners, although
they have not won all they asked. Their
chief demand was for a mine run"
price, that is, a rate per ton, as the
coal comes from the mine, unscreened.
This has been conceded in some places.
Where the rate remains fixed IN price
per net ton of screened coal, a sub
stantial advance has been won. The
increase in wages all through the dis
trict approximately, is 10 cents a ton
oyer the schedule made last May
The strike has been on since July 4.
1t started as a part of the general
strike ordered by the United Mine
Workers of America. The Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio miners settled their
differences early in September. The In
diana work was resumed about the
same time. The 10000 miners of Hi
nois refused to ratify the terms of the
agreement made at Columbus, o., and
! continued the strike.

TRIAL OF BoMB THRowERs.
One of Them Testif1es Confession
Was Made Fhrough Torture.

One OF Ihem 4eSCnleS CONCESSION
Was Made Through Torture.
Barcelona, Nov. 26.-Great interest is
felt in the trial now in progress here Of
the two men, Calls and Enrique accused
by Ascheri, instigator of the bomb
throwing during the procession of Corpus
Christi IN the spring of last year, of
throwing bombs at q strike meeting in
1856 when several persons were killed
and many others injured.
Calls was lately condemned 10 20 years
Imprisonment as All aceomplice OF As
cheri ~ the Corpus Christi procession.
During his trial on that charge he con-
fessed himself guilty of the bomb-throw-
ing of 1856. Brought now TO trial on that
confession, he alleges that it was extort-
ed from him by torture at Mont jules
fortress. and his statement that he was
subjected to torture is confirmed by the
testimony of other conVicts called as wit
nesscs.
Enrique, arraigned with him on the
charge of mountaineering in 1885 was ac-
quilted today. With regard TO the asser-
ton of Calls that he was tortured, Lieu
tenant Portas and others, called for the
prosecution, deny that there is any truth
in the story, and the weight Of evidence
is AGAINST Calls.

-keSCner'S SeH Sacr1nce.
Paris, Nov. 26.-Emile lola. the
French author, is writing to the Paris
press in behalf of NJ. Dreyfus. He is
positive that Dreyfus is innocent. and
that an awful mistake has been made
in branding him as d traitor, and SEN
fencing him to prison for life on Devils
Island.
OF NJ. Scheurer-K estner, the delegate
in the French chamber of deputies who
| first suspected the grave injustice and
heroically started the inquiry, lola
| says:
I know nothing more sublime than
| the silence of Scheurer-K estner during
the three weeks when a whole people,
in despair, suspected and abused him.
The least violent expressed doubt as to
! mis- sanity. Was he not an old man in
his second chiidhood-one of those
whom incipient senile weakness causes
| to believe anything?
Others. madmen and ruffianS, simply
said he had taken a bride. Simple
enough-the Jews had paid a million to
| buy his conscience and to think that
no universal roar of laughter greeted
| this stupidity"
