Cheyenne visitor for the last week anG
having completed his business, waa
spending the evening before his depart,

The first subject that was sprung IN
the judge was Wyoming's promising

that Wyoming is destined to become

which provides that when g~reenbacks

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 30.-A meeting of
the coal operators interested in the move
mept to establish uniform conditions in
the coal industry IS in session here to-
day.
Under the original agreement 95 per
cent of the operators we're necessary to

to grant the signers of the agreement a
10 per cent per ton differential.

committee, reported today that 81 opera
tors, controlling 80 mines having a pro-
duotion of 8,542,1l3 tons out Of 14,457,-
600 tons, have signed the agreement.

this was opposed by President DeArmitt,
of the New York q Cleveland Gas Coal
company, who insisted that the 10 cent
differential should first 20 into effect.

GENERAL GOMEZ SCORNS AUTONOMY
He Says Cubans Are Fighting for In
dependence and Will Not Listen
to Overtures for Peace on
Other Terms.

New York, Dec. 30.-A correspondent
of the Herald has returned to Havana
after having visited the camp of General
Gomez
After perilous ride through aoountry
infested with Spanish troops, he reached
Gomez's camp or December 18, and
found the general in excellent health and
spirits.
The correspondent put before Gomez
the program of autonomy in order to
secure his opinion.
The general smiled contemptuously,
after glancing over the copy of Havana
paper containing the terms, and said:
"There is no use of wasting time in dis
cussing these terms. 1t makes no differ.
ence whether they may be regarded as
liberal or not. The fact remains that we
are not fighting for autonomy, but for
independence. This Spain seems utterly
unable to realize. There is not in the
Cuban army one officer so base as to ao-
cept such terms. He will not even listen
to any overtures and any person entering
our camps for such purpose will be put
to death in accordance with my general
ORDERS"

LACK ED HORSE SENSE.
Gerry society Agents Prevented
EdisOn's Daughter from Ap-

fOrmance.

New York, Dec. 30.-Nattie, the 9year
old daughter of Thomas A. Edison, the
inventor, was to have appeared in a
charity performance at the Carnegie ly-
ceum, but the Gerry society officers in
terfered. The managers of the entartain-
ment we're very much incensed, as they
had taken special care to obtain Mr.. Edi-
sons consent to the appearance of his
daughter in tableau. At the rooms of
the Gerry society the only explanation
vouchsafed was that the proposed danc-
ing of Mr.. Edison's daughter was clearly
contrary to law.
Mr.. Edison took the matter good
naturedly. He said: "My opinion is
that the Gerry society is probably good
and necessary institution, but it's agents
do not always use horse sense, as II ap-
pears in this CASE"
Mrs. Edison said: "Oom odore Gerry q
action was uncalled for. Had there been
the slightest idea there could be anything
demoralizing in the entertainments, I GER
tainly should not have let my daughter
come in the first place. Her dance ia
simply parlor dance"
