issued the call for the meeting of Oh

come from all the operators in the com
petitive district, which includes Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia and

conference is known. The aggressive
work in field will be continued and
the efforts to spread the strike in the
West Virginia district will be re-
newed.
The success or failure OF the strike
hangs upon the result of the confer
ence, the call for which has been i'll
dorsed by Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor,
and j. Il. Sovereign, general master
workman Of the Knights Of Labor.
They maintain that the fight now being
waged by the miners is one Of com

Silver in India.

London. Aug. 21.-The Times pub
fishes this morning n letter from an oc-
that India Is still an extensive purchas-
er OF silver because ninety-nine out of
every 100 natives are ignorant of the
fact that the mints are closed. They
believe that they can exchange their
ornaments for rupees ut any moment.
When the truth becomes generally
known it will be n grievous cause of
disaffection. The correspondent adds:
"The great dearth of rupees in In
dia suggests the advisability of re-
opening the mints and raising the i'm
port duty on silver in order to make
the value of silver equivalent to the
value of the rupee"

The president of the American Asso-
citation of Librarians said. in the recent
general conference Of that body, that
the number of volumes in the libraries
of this country had more than trebled
since 1876. The chief cause of this
great increase. he said, is a wholesome
growth of public perception of the
value Of good books. This fact, even
more than the willingness of the rich
to found and eudow libraries. is mat
ter for national satisfaction. Unused
libraries do not speak well for their
possessor.

CENTRAL AMERICAN REPUBLIC
The Scheme OF Consolidation Likely to FaI
Through.

Washington, Aug 19.-Private ad-
Vices from Nicaragua are that Costa
Rica and Guatemala will in all proba-
bility refuse to proceed further with
the scheme for the consolidation of the
five republics of Central America into
one nation, and that the present Great
er Republic. comprising Salvador, Hon
duras and Nicaragua, will disintcgrate
at an early date.
The intense jealousy existing be-
tween Costa Rica and the states com
posing the present Greater Republic of
Central America, in which Guatemala
participates to Il lesser degree is Civ
en- as the reason for the possible failure
to carry out the agreement. Upon the
formal announcement of the refusal
of Costa Rica and Guatemala to enter
the union, the present combination of
Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua is
expected to collapse and the result, it
is feared, will be state of war that
will extend to all the countries of Cen
trail America.

Reports from Hawaii indicate that
the proposed treaty of annexation is re-
ceived by the press there with feelings
of enthusiastic rejoicing. The only
drawback apparent is feeling of ap-
prehension as to the position of Japan.
The utterances in the Japanese papers
have been of disquieting kind. and a
certain feeling of uneasiness has been
created, which appears to be shared by
the official authorities.
