CONFERENCE OF OPERATORS

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 1.-THE opera
tors of the Pennsylvania coal mines held
Il conference in this city to-day and
determined that mines in the Pittsburg
district should be started and operated
without further delay, on the grounds
that the miners have taken highland
ed position that nothing but an unrea-
sonable price for mining will satisfy
their demand, and that they have been
unwilling to treat with the operators on
any fair grounds Also that there is no
course left open to the operators at
this time.
1t was determined that all coal sold
at the 54-cent basis of mining this year
must be mined at that price. No change
in the price of mining will be considered
until the contracts made at the 54-cent
basis of mining are filled and the uni
formity agreement is completed.
At least three-fourths of the tonnage
of the Pittsburg district was represent
ed at the conference, and all are unani-
nous and agreed to. if necessary. forci-
bly, resume operations, with the exception
of NJ. A. Hanna and Company.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
AErieuiturist.-Itsms That May
Bsnsnt our Readers.


Where fowls have the run OF an or
chard they can make themselves pretty
comfortable, besides gathering up
much of their food during the hottest
kind Of weather. There is no shade
to compare with that made by trees.
The least bit OF wind fans the branches
and the latter in turn send refreshing
currents OF air around them, says the
Kansas Farmer. Houses built right
in these orchards are cool at night.
and the trees likewise prevent severe
storms from reaching the inmates OF
the houses, as is SO often the case
where houses are more or less exposed.
But not every one has an orchard
to furnish his poultry, so the next best
step-especially where fowls are con-
nned to runs or pens--is to have the
runs OF liberal dimensions, and set in
trees as closely as they will admit to
secure good crops of fruit. | saw fruit
because the shade from fruit tree is
just as refreshing to fowls as that
from forest tree; and, if you can
raise two crops from the same ground
at the same time, is it not economy
to do so: As regards varieties OF fruit
trees to set, there are none better for
this purpose than the plum and cherry.
Both come into bearing early, and
both thrive here, the droppings OF the
fowls enriching the soil, and very
little wormy fruit is found on trees so
situated. This is the ideal way in
which to raise plums, at least as re-
CARDS curculio. That question is ever
lastingly settled where fowls have the
opportunity to destroy all fallen fruit.
which they do, and relish the job.
But, some who raise poultry are
renters and cannot afford to set trees
some will say. This is true, but where
term lease of three to five years, or
even longer, can be obtained, it will
pay. One crop of fruit will cover the
cost OF the trees, and often more,
besides the comfort you afford your
fowls and the increased profit derived
from them; for you must make your
fowls comfortable if you would have
them profitable. Many times, how.
ever, if the matter were presented in
proper light, the landlord would be
both willing and anxious to furnish
the trees, and perhaps pay the tenant
for setting them, we'll knowing that
such work as that only makes his farm
the more valuable.
However, if you cannot have trees.
plant something else. Erect a light
frame, arbor-like, and plant vines.
Morning-glories soon make good
shade in this way. Or plant Russian
sunfowers, which grow very rapidly
and make not only shade where
needed, but also furnish one of the
best poultry foods known to make hens
lay and give them rich, glossy plum
age. So, you see, it is not SO impos-
sible after all. For it is like every
thing else, Where there's will,
there's way"

The San Francisco Chronicle, in its
agricultural department has begun to
pay attention to the important ques-
tion OF irrigation, which is at present
in such muddled condition in this
State. The Chronicle believes in the
Federal irrigation of arid lands, but as
to the proposed State irrigation of
lands in California it is-and with rea-
son-somewhat dubious. Our contem-
porary makes the following suggestion
as to the manner in which irrigation
districts might be safely formed:
Upon the formation of the district
let an assessment be LEVIED for prelim-
mary expenses. Let the directors then
formulate their proposition, and pre-
sent it to the Governor. Let the Gov
ernor then appoint an engineer of State
reputation to make a detailed report
and estimate of cost. At the same
time let him appoint commission Of
real estate experts, of the conservative
class employed by banks, to appraise
the land. Let the Attorney Generals
Office pass upon the title to the water.
Ii the engineer reports satisfactory
water supply, and the Attorney Gen
eral approves the title, let the direc-
tors advertise for bids for the construc-
ton of the system complete and deliv-
cred with bitches full OF water. If bids
not in excess OF the engineers estimate
are received, such bids being the prop
erty OF the district as it stands, then
let the question of bonds be submitted
to the people. Bonds SO issued would
be safe, and if made to run ON an
average of twenty years, per cent
bonds would sell at par. Ii the engi.
neer's report is unfayorable, or his
estimates higher than the proper per-
centage of the property as appraised BY
the experts, let the district lapse. Ii
seems to us safest to build upon the
completely adjudicated Wright act
than to branch out on to an untried
road. -

CAR WANTS PEACE.
Formal Proposition to Hold a
Peace Conference.
WOULD LIKE ARMAMENTs REDUCED.
Belief In London That the RemarkabIe
Production Will Find an I'm
mediate RespoPss.

st. Petersburg.-By order Of En-
peror Nicholas, Coun. Murayieff, the
Foreign Minister, handed to the for
eign diplomats at st. Petersburg a
note declaring that the maintenance
81 peace and the reduction of the ex-
eessiye ornaments nov crushing all
nations is the ideal for which all gov
ernments ought 10 strive.
The Car considers the present mo-
ment favorable for the inauguration of
movement looking to this end, and
invites the powers to take part in an
international conference as means Of
thus insuring real and lasting peace,
and terminating the progressive in
crease Of armament.
London. Cars proposition for
an international conference for the
purpose Of securing real and lasting
peace among the powers and the ter
mination Of the progressive increase
in armaments, as conveyed in note
from Count Muravieff, the Russian
Foreign Minister, to the foreign diplo-
mats at st. Petersburg, is likely to
produce sensation throughout Eu-
rope, and coming from such quarter
and with such evident sincerity Of
purpose it is likely to have important
effects.
There is no doubt that with Russia
taking the lead in such step, Ger
many, France and the other nations
will be ready to follow.
The Times correspondent in st.
Petersburg says: The proposal for
a conference which was made by the
Gar through the medium OF foreign
ambassadors at st. Petersburg, has
been kept profoundly secret until at the
express wish OF Count Muravieff, the
Foreign Minister, so that it might
be first promulgated on the day Of nm
yelling the monument in the Krem-
lin to Alexander H.
There is reason to believe that it
formed the object Of communication
between the courts of st. Petersburg
and Berlin some time previously and
IN all probability the support OF Ger
many, at least, was secured in advance.
Russia, with her chronic famines and
her large enterprises in the Far East
to provide for out OF budget which
is being drawn upon more and more
each year for materials Of war in order
to keep pace with the other powers,
must naturally feel the want of inter-
national cooperation in her present
policy of peace and in economical de-
velopments.

Agricultural as well as commercial
prosperity depends upon fertile soil.
The way to maintain fertility cheaply
is a live question with many farmers.
who have robbed their land by contin.
ual cropping. Many Of our most suc.
eessful farmers have found sheen n
most profitable animal, and a most
excellent help in cheaply enrichine
and retaining light and wornout land
Many instances could be cited where
sheep alone have improved and
brought to high state of fertility
farms which were so badly run out
that they failed to produce paying
crop. A case in point. A field con-
tanning 10 acres which did not grow a
good crop of oats was seeded to tim
othy red and alsike clover. A flock of
sheep was given access after harvest.
The result was 80 large loads of the
finest quality of hay the next season.
A flock of well bred sheep is useful in
many ways. They are great scaven-
gers, eating up and converting weeds
and rubbish into cash, and after harvest,
IL allowed to run on grain fields, will
pick up that which would otherwise
be lost, much better than other stock.

The Colts First Lessons.

Old horsemen need no advice regard.
ing colt-breaking, but there are always
some beginners who, having had no
experience in giving to youngsters
their first lessons, are glad to learn
from those who have. To such the fol-
lowing contributed to the National
Stockman Farmer will be of interest !:
Again let me say that we cannot be
too careful in seeing that the harness.
especially the lines and bits, are per-
fectly safe. 1t is also well to prepare
for the worst. | have seen some ugly
runaways prevented by using what
horsemen call the 'side line" A
short chain is fastened to the ring on
the left end OF the bit, then passed
under the jaw and through the ring on
the right side. A strong line or small
rope is attached to this. One man
holds this line in readiness, while the
other handles the check lines. This
side line is very severe and should
never be used except when really nee
essary to control him, but when his
coltship attempts to run and becomes
nnmanageable this line will always
bring him to terms.
Before hitching up, the wagon or
sled should be run out on the open
field or road, SO there will be no turn
ing at first. The colt will have enough
new impressions to take in without
being pulled around to the right or
left. The ground should be smooth
SO there will be little rafting of the
wagon at the start. II this is increased
gradually it is surprising how soon he
will become accustomed and pay no
attention to it.
Hitch the old, steady horse first.
Snap the other lines and breast strap
on the colt, and hitch its traces the
last thing. Don't keep it standing a
moment after being hitched. Have
good, strong man in the wagon to
handle the lines, but let the best
horseman, the one with the most ami
NAL magnetism, lead the colt at first.
Keep perfectly cool whatever happens.
The chances are hundred to one
that there will be no serious trouble.
If there is, excitement will only make
matters very much worse.
Don't be alarmed or discouraged il

tries to run, rears, plunges, throws
itself, etc. This shows spirit and will
power, two very commemorate traits in
the horse. Nearly every high-spirited
colt will do something bad before he is
thoroughly broken. 1t is much better
That he do his best to get rid Of the
whole business as soon as hitched up.
Then you have splendid chance to

With kindness and patience, will bring

HE CALLS 1T REVOLUTION.
Professor Norton on the American Po-
lItIeal Situation.


Ashfield Mass. THE twentieth an
nual dinner in aid OF smderson Acad.
envy was given the other afternoon,
with Charles Eliot Norton presiding.
The principal address was by Profess
sor Norton, who devoted himself TO a
discussion OF the late war. He re-
ferred to the academy's prosperity dur
ing the year and continued as follows:
And yet our hearts have been heavy
with new weight OF care, and the
very brightness OF the sunshine has but
deepened by contrast the cloud OF our
sorrowful houghts-sorrowf that our
Nation should have turned its back
upon its old ideals, and standing at
the parting ways, should have chosen
the ancient path, worn by the bloody
feet OF hapless generations and which
has never led to anything but ill--the
path of aggressive war, OF foreign
conquest, Of alien territorial aggran-
dizement-the path that leads from
trouble TO trouble. The actual conflict
has ended, but less than 100 DAYS of
war has resulted in a revolution in the
United States. We, the one great
non-military power in the world, have
suddenly Joined the ranks of the ma
tions burdened with great armies and
navies; we have loaded ourselves with
an enormous additional debt and with
an enormous increase OF annual ex.
penditures, a permanent oppressive tax
upon the industry of the people, and
whatever disposition may be made Of
the Philippines, we are already,
through holding them and claiming
the right to dispose of them, brought
into entangling relations with the
nations of the world and run the risk
OF losing the inestimable boon which
has hitherto been ours--of freedom in
the complications of the international
politics of the Old World and of re.
naming the independent masters of
our own fortunes. 1t is, indeed, a
momentous revolution.

TROUBLE AHEAD FOR PREMIER
SA0ASTA.
Opposition Of All shades Believe His
CabInst gOomed.

Opposition Of All SHADES Relieve His
Cabinst Doomed.
London. 1.-The Madrid correspondent
Of the Standard says. The Carlist and
Republican papers and opposition
organs Of every shade, including the
Conservative and Independent jour
nails, openly show delight at the con-
vocation OF the Cortes 1t is their
firm belief that the days Of the Liberal
Government are numbered. They
also announce that the opposition con-
sideTs that its hour Of. reckoning has
come. The opposition will not allow
the Government TO close the session
a. quickly as Senior sagasta fancies or
may desire. His opponents, they add,
are determined 10 discuss all the acts
Of the Cabinet before and during the
war. and there will be prolonged de-
bates.
Some papers are even laboring under
the delnsion that the COrtes can dis
cuss the contemplated instructions to
the Peace Commissioners.
A part Of the session will he devoted
10 ways and means. The treasury is
already becoming very empty. Even
many Of the friends OF the Cabinet
consider the conyOcation OF the COrtes
a mistaken act of weakness fraught
with consequences which will prove
understandable and inconvenient both
in home politics and in relations with
the United States.
Nothing can better illustrate the
country's weariness and disillusion
than the small excitement caused by
the return Of the repatriated troops.
OF the 225, 900 men who have left
Spain for the Antilles since March,
1895, $4,000 have persisted in Cuba,
73, 900 have been sent home invalided,
and the remainder are returning to be
disbanded after receiving portion OF
their nine months arrears OF pay.
A clever stroke OF policy on the part
Of the Government will, it Is believed,
avert the danger that otherw Use might
have existed Of the disconnected army
being made the tools OF military and
political intriguers and Carlsts. There
are forty-three generals and 5000 other
officers on the active list. For these
it is proposed that the number Of line
regiments shall be increased.

JAPAN WANTS THE LApRonEs.
The Native Press Advises Purchase
From the United States.


Seattle Wash - Japanese diplo-
mats are watching with great interest
the development of peace between the
United States and Spain. They are
particularly interested in the territor-
ial changes made by the peace treaty.
Late Japanese newspapers agree that
the country should buy the Iadrone
islands either from the United States
or Spain. Japan is reaching out in
every way to develop her fisheries, and
it is with this idea in view that the
Ladrones are being considered. 1t is
not that Japan wants a naval strong
hold or wishes to extend her influence
in the South seas that the purchase is
proposed. The japanese hope that
the Ladrones will be returned to
Spain. They believe they can pur-
chase them much cheaper from that
very sick continental power than from
the United States.
Eight years ago the proposition to
purchase the islands came up in Ja-
pan. Spain was anxious to sell and
at reasonable figure. The purchase
was favored by many of the House of
Peers. Viscounts Enomoto and Aoki
were especially in favor OF the pur-
chase. 1t fell through on account OF
the stubborn opposition Of Count
lnouye. Now Japan is again in the
mood to purchase, and this time there
is no Inouye in sight to interpose OBJ
jections. The japanese press advises
the Government to make bid ON the
islands if they are turned over to the
United States.
