pelerates sent 10 PItt.burg.

Pittsburg. Kan. July 26.-The mine
operators at yesterdays conference
claimed they had unmistakable evil
dence that the Illinois strikers had sent
about IA delegates here to agitate a
strike in all the important mines. The
delegates came quietly and dealt with
the delegates selected by the several
mines to the convention only
The strong argument used with the
Kansas miners was that Kansas holds
the key 70 the situation westward; that
If Kansas went out the railroads would
bring the operators to time.
Operators say that II will make no
difference whether Kansas. with only
10000 miners. goes out or stays in but
the miners see in the extra work and
storing Of coal that goes on desire on
the part of operators TO fortify them
selves against a strike. They are also
suspicious that coal from Kansas mines
is to be smuggled into strike territory.

New York. July 26.-J. F. Morgan &
Go. are soon 20 undertake the reorgani-
cation OF the Madison Square Garden
company. The garden will probably be
sold on the foreclosure Of the second
mortgage, subject to the first mortgage
OF Sl,250,0O0 and unpaid taxes Of about
100000. A new company will then be
organized with a capital stock Of ST.
250,00O. The following notice has been
sent 10 the holders Of second mortgage
bonds:
This company has never earned a
net profit, except in 1928 and 1866.
During the last fiscal year IL has not
earned fixed charges and. defaulted in
payment OF interest due on first and
second mortgage bonds May I last. II
will also be obliged 20 default interest
due on Nov /. on that date Il will
owe S27O.5O0 additional interest and
taxes and $4,000 of borrowed money
1T therefore seems desirable that a
reorganization should take place imme-
diately. To this end a committee was
appointed to carry out such reorgani-
zation. The plan Includes the issue OF
$780, 900 of second mortgage 6 per cent

Falrmont. w. Va. July 26.-Debs held
three good meetings at the various
mines yesterday and is confident that
the men Will be gotten out, although
he will not say he expects the move inn
mediately. The general impression Is
that If the break is not made today 1t
will not be made at all. 1t Is hard to
tell what the men will do when the
time comes. The operators have sue
ceeded in keeping many of them from
the meetings, and 1t looks as. easy to
keep them in the mines. Mahon has
left for Clarksburg. where he and Rea
addressed a good meeting.
All the mines are guarded by depu-
ties. and no men are allowed on the
company's grounds. and rumors Of all
kinds are afoat, but no trouble IS ex-
pected. Today will certainly settle the
strike one way or the other, so far as
this region is concerned.

FOREIGN NOTES..

The notes of the bank of England
cost exactly one halfpenny each.
Amsterdam had LATE fires last year,
at which nine persons lost their lives.
The army expenses per head of the
population is $4.75 in France and $3.50
in Germany.
Berlin now has electric street cars
with storage batteries that need to be
charged but once a day.
The number of emigrants from Great
Britain and Ireland in 1896 was 241, 912,
of whom 3 6 1000 went to South Africa.
In Zululand, when the moon is at the
full, objects are as distinctly visible at
as great a distance as seven miles. BY
starlight one can see to read print with
ease.
Spain has more sunshine than any
other country in Europe. The yearly
average in Spain is 5000 hours; that of
Italy, 1900; Germany, 1900; England,
1,400.
There are about 1000 persons in
France who are set down as anarch-
lists, and are under the constant watch
of the police of the various European
countries.
There are in France also women
authors and journalists, and about zoe
women artists. The provinces con-
tribute most of the writers-about two
thirds-while Paris is represented in
the same proportion among the artists.

The fact that the big European cities
have been growing SO much faster than
those of the United States is pointed
out by DR.. Albert Shaw in his recent
book on municipal government in Eu-
rope. In 1870 New York had $50, 900
more people than Berlin; in 1880 Ber-
lin had outstripped New York, and still
maintains it's lead. In 1875 Hamburg
had 34S, 900 people and Boston 342, 900;
in 1890 Hamburg had $50 $50 and Bos-
ton 448, 000. Baltimore was once as big
as Hamburg, but it has long beer dis
tanCad. Preslau used to be smaller
than Cincinnati; it has now distanced
it, Cleveland and Buffalo and Pitts
burg were all in 1880 bigger than
Cologne, but Cologne was much the

How Early Settlers In Oregon Induced
Women to Go to Their State.
"fhere are plenty Of women in Ore
gon now" observed a prominent Ore
gon politician, who is In Washington to
see that the state is not forgotten in the
matter Of patronage, 'but it is within
the memory of many of us when wom-
en- were scarce there. We gave it out
that We wanted them for school teach
ers and the like, and encouraged them
to ON out there, but the truth was
the men wanted them for wives. l re-
member ono we sent a young man to
Massachusetts,, where he was well ac-
Quainted, with orders to collect one
hundred young women and escort them
back to Oregon. We guaranteed every
n of them one years employment.
The active man in the matter was a
fine looking young man, who after
wards Served two terms in congress
from our state. He spent two months
in selecting the party and started west
with them. On the trip out he courted
one of the school teachers on his own
hook, and actually got her consent to
a marriage on the arrival of the train
at Portland. The boys howled consid-
erably about it, claiming that he had
treated them unfairly in having first
choice, but there was a lot of fine, mar
~riageable material left. Some of these
women are today the leading ladies of
the society Of the state. More than
three-fourths of the hundred were mar
ried inside of three years, and many in
less than one year. A few of the lot,
however, are teaching school here to-
day, not that they did not have any Of
fers, but because they would not accept
any of the fellows who offered them
selves. Now that Senator Mitchell has
about given up his contest to return az
senator, he will likely be succeeded by
a gentleman who married one of the
party of school teachers to which l re-
fer. He will bring his wife here with
him, and our Washington folks can
see for themselves the kind of ladies
we had out there for school teachers
They can't be surpassed even If equaled
anywhere. l may be an interested
person, though, for it happens that my
wife was one of the party"

J The International Postal Congress,
which meets at Washington in May
will probably consider the adoption
Of a, special stamp having uniform val
ue in all the countries Of the Postal
Union. Such a stamp could be used in
payment for small orders OF goods.
1t would so greatly facilitate in~terna-
tional exchanges that the argument
seems all in its favor; but a journal
devoted to collectors gives amusing
evidence of the extent to which a hob
by" may. influence ones views onesuch
a question. THE stamp would be a
convenience in several ways" 1t is ad-
nitted, *yet it is to be hoped that in
the interests of philately it may not be
adopted"

An association recently organized in
one of the suburbs of Dayton, O., has
an idea which might be probably
adopted in many smaller towns. The
association, according to Garden and
Forest, has been formed for the pur-
pose of identifying the streets, the un-
improved property, and the public
grounds by proper planting, by pro-
noting a general interest in gardening,
and by systematic efforts to abate nui-
sances and to control the location tof
houses so. far as possible. Lectures are
given. with views, to show how house
surroundings can be made attractive,
and the newspaper reports "a that this
part of Dayton has shown marked i'm
provement in it's appearance. Prizes
are offered by the association for the
best example of planting in individual
grounds, together with the condition OF
roAdways, cutters, curbs, sidewalks,
and general appearance OF the houses
Prizes are also offered to boys for the
best vegetable gardens. as well as prize,
open to boys and girls for the best KEEP
back yards, whether planted with flow
ers. %shrubbery, climbers, or grass. Pho
tographs are to be taken Of the exam
ined gardens, with particular sections
and decorations of the streets entered
in competition, and a neat pamphle
has been published containing views o
the prize-winning grounds last year
and also embodying good advice abou
trees, shrubs, and climbers, with tn
methods of planting and caring TO-
them.
