exchanged between Miss Flora Shaw, the
Colonial editor of the Times" and Mr..
Cecil Rhodes, then Premier of Cape Col
ony, were produced Tht- first, from Miss
Shaw, asks for the date of the commence
ment of the plans, owing to the necessity
of instructing the European correspond
ents of the London Times" SO that they
might use their influence in favor of Mr.
Rhodes. The second despatch points out
the danger of delay, as the European sit
uation was considered serious and pro-
test from the other Powers might par
alyze the Government The third message
says Mr.. Chamberlain (the Secretary of
State for the Colonies) lis sound in case
of the interference of European Powers;
but have special reason to believe he
wishes you to act Immediately"

formation from the Colonial Office.

There has been so much baSeleSS chat
ter that I had better state exactly what
happened. At the Colonial office, in dis
cussing the possibility of a rising. Under
Secretary Fairchild remarked
If the JOhannesburgers are going to
rise, it is to be hoped they will do it
soon. having special knowledge of the
subject
for saying it was wished the rising would
occur immediatly''
Replying to a question from Mr. Henry
Labouchere, relative to Under Secretary
Fairfield'S remark Mr. Chamberlain said
it was casual observation" and, he
added. 1t was possible Mr. Fairfield was
laughing at Miss Shaw.

COUNT oKUMA ON THE TARIFF
puty on Tea WILL Result in Eaufva-
liant Hlufr On Jananss Chief Exports

VICTORIA, B. c., July 2, 1ss7-Count
Okurna the Prime Minister and Minister
of Foreign Affairs of Japan, delivered
himself as follows at Shizuoka recently
with regard to the new tariff now being
revised by American legislators
..Referring to the proposed custom du-
ties i may say that it is a very important
subject and bears upon the tea business
of Shizuoka Prefecture. / cannot make
conclusive conclusions regarding the tar
if. but believe that the majority of the
people of the United States are opposed
to its coming into force.
ION account of the heavy duty to be
imposed on tea an equivalent duty will be
put on our chief articles of export, such
as silks, sugars and carpets This is an
unpleasant fact to face, but there is no
help for it, The proposed new tariff will
affect Japan more than it will England,
France or Belgium. It appears that the
only course open is to warn America that
Japan and other powers will reciprocate
by imposing heavy duties upon her
goods"

COAL miners STRIKE.
United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea Ordered to Quit Work
Other States Affected.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 2, 1S97.-A gen
eral strike of miners of the United Mine
Workers of America has been ordered for
July A by the National Executive Board,
whose headquarters are in this city, and
also by the district presidents as the re-
suit of meeting held here June a. rs
and &C.
The official document says
To the Mine Workers of the Country,
Grceting:-
Fellow Miners-At the last annual con-
vention of the United Mine Workers of
o., January 1916, 1897 it was determined
that the scale of prices should be ad-
vanced to the following rates.
Pennsylvania (Pittsburg district, pick
mining, sixty-nine cents per ton Ohio
sixty cents per ton; Indiana (bituminous),
sixty cents per ton; Illinois Grape Creek
fifty-fiye cents per ton. Machine mining
to be paid three-fifths per ton of the
price for pick mining, except in Indiana
lbituminous). where the price shall be
pick mining; other mining sections al cor
responding increase in price that will
place them on a relative basis. 1t was
further agreed that the time for enforce
ment of the scale be left with the Ma
tional Executive Board and the District
Presidents to determine when it would be
most opportune to put this scale into eff
feet.
Inc document Lnen urges unanlmlty ana
fidelity among the members. THE signs
of the times the paper says, 'as point
ed out by the press and by the testi-
mony of men versed in public affairs, are
that business is reviving and that an up
ward tendency in prices of all commodi-
ties is apparent
The officers here say 375,0O0 men are in
volved as proposed strikers. So far as
anything can be learned here from Off
cials the call for the Pittsburg meeting
of miners on Saturday is to decide how
the strike is to be conducted in that dis
trict They have to consider plans to
take care of the women and children dur
ing the strike. President Ratchford says
this is the best time to settle the question
of wages as during the summer the men
can make use of their little garden plots
in obtaining suStenance. The needs of
clothing are not SO great as in winter.
The proposed scale is intended by the
miners to make work for miners prof1ta-
BILE to them in the Pittsburg district and
elsewhere. Pittsburg, as claimed, is
paying fifty-four cents per ton and Ohio
fifty-one. To make the differential what
the operators claim it ought to be, they
threaten to reduce Ohio miners to forty
five cents Der ton.

Serious situation In Tennessee.

The situation in the East Tennessee and
Southren Kentucky coal mining section
is rapidly becoming serious There are
now over 1000 idle men in the Jellico dis
trict and nearly the same number along
the line of the Cincinnati Southern Rail-
have done no work since. Few of them
had any money saved UP and the majority
are now suffering for the, necessities of
life. All efforts to settle the strike have
proved unavailing and it is now admitted
that none of the mines can be operated
for several months. The strikers have SO
far made no attempt at violence, but as
feared that trouble will come.
