A FAIR PROPOSITION.

To Settle the Colorado Miners Troubleg
Rejected 10y Them In a Ballot.
Leadvdlle, Col, Jan. 20.-The mine IN
by formal ballot last night, refused to- -
cept the proposition submitted to them
by the operators for settlement of the
great strike.
Gov. Adams, Eugene v. Debs and rep
resentatives of the miners and mine op-
orators were in conference all day en-
deavoring to arrive at a satisfactory set
tlement of the strike. It was finally de-
cided that the Miners union should de-
eide by ballot whether or not the miners
would accept the final proposition sub
mitted to them by the operators yester-
day. which is as follows:
To the Miners of the Leadville District:
The mine owners and managers or the
Leadyille district are not antagonistlc
to law abiding organized labor, ana IN
order to bring about a settlement OF the
present differences, make the following
proposition: In all mines where the min
ers' wages are now $3.50 per day, the
miners shall be paid $2.75 per day for all
calendar months in which the average
silver quotations shall be 70 cents per
ounce or over and SO per day for all
calendar months in which the average
silver quotations shall be rs cents per
ounce or over.
The miners began balloting at o'clock
and shortly before midnight unanimously
decided to reject the propositions.
This action on the part of the miners
puts a stop to further negotiations for
the time being Gov. Adams left last
night for Denver Both he and Mr.. Debs
expressed themselves as believing the
proposition of the mine owners to be a
fair one.

PRITcHARD's STATEMENT.

Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 20.--The following
statement was issued by Senator Pritch-
ard today: This victory means that the
middle of the-road populists are in the
saddle. 1t means that Col. Skinner is not
only the leader of the populist party in
North Carolina, but by his able manage
ment of his interest he has demonstrated
the fact that he will rank in the future
as the leader of the populist cause. He
has observed every pledge that his party
made to the republican party two years
ago, and in so doing he has not required
single pledge from me or any other re-
publican and without any sacrifice of
the silver cause, because he knows I
occupy the same position as I did two
wears ago.
