proposition of the mine managers to the
striking miners of this district, which
was approved by Gov. Adams and, L. V.
Debs was tonight rejected by the min
ers. The vote in their meeting against
its acceptance was almost unanimous.
This ends all negotiations so far as the
governor is concerned, ard he leaves for
home at midnight.
The only change made In the PROPOSE
tion of the manager9 as given in the AS
sociated Press dispatches last night was
the concession OF increased pay for
trammera and other outside men pred
icated upon az advance in silver, and
this has proven unsatisfa tory to them,

OF the breaking of the agreement of 1898
by the strike was that the managers had
done even better than was expected Of

| CHICAGO, Jan. 10. - A meet
ing of the transcontinental lines
took place here today for the
| purpose of considering rates for the
| Christian Endeavor meeting at San
Francisco The western roads have
agreed to await the action of the trans
continental roads in this matter, as 1t is
generally conceded that if the rate for
| the Christian Endeavor meeting is at
all open it will carry with it all or nearly
all of this business for the Pacific coast
this summer. The transcontinental
roads are in favor of making a rate of
one fare for the round trip, plus 81, and
this rate without much doubt will go
into effect on all the roads handling
business.

Secretary Carlisle and Senator Black
burn met face to face at the residence OF
Secretary Francis on New Years day,
when they called there to pay their re-
spects to the baby member of the cabinet
and his beautiful wife. Mr.. Blackburn
was accompanied by ex-senator Butler OF
South Carolina and Paymaster Goodloe OF
the marine corps. Mr.. Car.ise was alone
and stepped into the cloak-room just as
these other gentlemen were leaving 1t, so
that he and Senator Blackburn almost col
lided in the doorway. 1t is the first time
they have met face to face for at least two
years, and in the meantime each has said
very bitter things about the other. Mr..
Blackburn has done more talking than the
Secretary of the Treasury, but the latter
used uglier eapons than words when he
turned Mr.. Blackburn's son-in-law and
other friends out of the treasury depart
ment. Those who saw the collision look
ed up anxiously, wondering what would
happen, but the two Kentuckians simply
bowed politely and passed on.
