NO ARBITRATION
Wanted by the Sloss Iron and Steel Con- pany and the Miners Refuse to
 Go to Work.

From present indications a repetition of 1894, Insofar as the coal miners are con- eerned, may be expected in this district, although hope still exists that an adjust ment of the existing difference between the. Sloss Iron and Steel company and their coal miners may be effected.
 The miners appointed a committee to confer with MT. Priestly Toulmin, super intendent of the Sless mines at Brook i'd ?, with instructions to offer a scale of 40 cents per ton straight The committee waited on MT. Toulmin, but their offer was declined.
 The committee reported the result of their conference and they were instructed to return to MT. Toulmin With an offer of acceptance of the Pratt scale. This proposition was also declined.
 Upon reporting the result of the second to go before the superintendent and offer conference the committee was instructed a proposition to arbitrate, each side to name two men and the four to select a fifth. The company declined to arbi- trate, and again the committee reported.
 The miners, in mass meeting, then ac- cepted a motion from member to the effect that work be suspended pending an adjudication of the matter. This mo- ton was unanimously agreed to.
 On Tuesday next the miners will hold another convention.
 News from Rlocton is to the effect that the miners there are determined to hold out for an advance of 21a cents per ton from the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- way company. A mass meeting is ex- pected to be held there about the same time as at Brookside.
 Hargrove and Belle Ellen miners are still cutting coal at the 40e. rate, but it is understood that in case of a strike they will join the ma jority.

NAVAL WARFARE.
Gloomy Picture of What Is Likely
to Happen.

We are still blindly cropping when we
dream of the naval warfare of to-day
or tomorrow. All we actually know is,
that the penetrative powers which we
assign to our guns are entirely myth
cal when tested in actual practice; and
that we have no reliable data by which
we can correct, and make a proportion
ate scale.
Near or far, however, it needs no gift
of prophecy to foresee some of the
things that will happen under present
day conditions. Increased range will
merely prolong the early stages of an
action. Sooner or later all unarmed
portions of the battleships will be blown
to pieces; wreckage of top-hamper will
gradually block the guns; shot-holes in
the tunnels will reduce the speed and
make the engine room an inferno of
heat. Two hundred degrees Fahrenheit
may be looked for there; and it will have
to be endured as best it may. The wa
ter line is little likely to be hit. but
rents just above it will be plentiful
enough where there is no armor; and
if there should be any sea on, the tons
of water thus shipped will seriously af-
feet ships speed if indeed they do
will break down; there will be nothing
but oil lamps to pierce the choking
blackness. Fires may be looked for
here and there. 1t is the opinion of
many naval officers that-at any rate
in a duel-no Captain will be able to
stand the strain of this for long that
by mutual consent the ships will steam
into close range, anxious to finish the
1loIo
will happen in such a case, with the
ships so near that no gun can miss,
so near that no armor can withstand
the fearful impact, the imagination
cannot really grasp. The devastation
such an engagement must produce is
too tremendous for a fanciful concep
ton. 1t has one bright side: Its en-
durance must be very short. There
are those who think that~upon one side
or the other, panic will seize the crews,
that men will spring overheard rather
than endure the strain. 1t may be so;
it is question of discipline, and of how
far discipline will hold.
The real danger of a modern sea fight
at long range lies in the ammunition
question. After such a battle ships,
perhaps still quite unsubdued, will be
left with empty magazines; the biggest
ironclad cannot carry enough for more
than y few hours vigorous cannonade.
Curiously enough, saving a few torpe-
do officers-to whom the question may
well present itself with special vivid
ness-no one has yet considered the
thing that, before all others, may cause
the torpedoist to fire too soon. 1t is
the thought, Suppose I am killed be-
fore 1 get my chance?"
The average torpedo man expects to
get killed when he attacks; with him
the question is, ''Shall be killed before
I can fire, or after?" The more anx-
ious he may be not to die without hav-
Ing done something. the more likely he
is to fire at too great range.
Every step taken in invention thrusts
the brave but unframed sailor more
and more into the background: in ad-
dition to a dauntless courage, the ideal
seaman of the future must possess
more scientific skill than is needed in
any other walk in life, and an absolute
immunity from nerves.-F'red T. Jane
in the Forum.

ter-nined by her. She seemed to kno"

they heard a tramping of feet right III
their course. She stopped, baf1eo'
turned back; in her hunted dismay ran
down a side corridor, another, anoah-

whispered They on the outside tried

beneath the palace window, had crash

A Song of TYroI.

Oh, list to the song of a land where the
sunshine,
On the valley looks down with & smile
all the day,
The pure ripping stream murmurs low
in the moonlight,
And among sweetest blossoms the soft
breezes stray.
There leaps from the mountain the swift
rushing torrent
And the dark tangled forest sheltering
home;
Where the wolf and the bear sleep safe
in the shadows.
Or secure. unaffrightened. through wild
hauntS they roam.
Far up, DER the rocks. spring the goat and
the chamois.
They, as free as the wild winds around
them that blow,
While towering above them like grim
SpecterS watching,
Clean the far-distant peaks with their
white crestS of snow.
Oh, Tyrol, fair land, with your forests
and sunshine
With you snow-crested peaks and vou,r
green, messy glades;
Serene in your valleys, the waters lie
sleeping,
While the spray tosses wild from vour
foaming cascades.
