The Strikera Win.

Streator, ILL.,, Dec. 1.-THE miners
strike in this vicinity came TO an end
Friday afternoon when A. L. Sweet,
general manager of the Chicago, Will
mington and Vermillion Coal company,
agreed to pay the price demanded by
the men, which is Ga cents a ton for
gross weight mining. The Star Coal
company officials met State Secretary
Ryan and a committee of the miners
and agreed to pay the price demanded.
The miners refused Mr.. Sweets propo-
sition to go back to AZ cents ton, and
he finally yielded to their demands.
This practically settles the strike in all
northern Illinois, and will put 1000
men at work at once. The men have
been standing out for gross weight,
positively refusing to accept any price
over screens, and are elated over their
victory.

test in the senate from native Ha-

The Christian Conference.

Philadelphia, Dec. 10.-The national
conference on the Christian principles
of civil government came to an end
Thursday afternoon. Resolutions were
adopted indorsing the sentiments ex-
pressed during the convention. One
of these declares that cit is the duty of
the Christian churches of this nation
to put forth earnest efforts to maintain
the existing Christian features of our
government, and to endeavor to secure
such all amendment to our constitu-
ton as will give to our Christian laws,
institutions and usages an undeniable
legal basis in the fundamental law of
the land, and thus secure a firm basis
for every necessary moral and Christian
reform" Other resolutions declare
against Sabbath dissertation" by the
operation of railways, steamboats,, cleo
trio cars, baseball playing, the publica-
ton of newspapers, the use of bicycle,

HAYTi INUNDATED.
The Little Republic Obeys the De.

Port au Prince, Hayti, Dec. s.-The
trouble between Germany and Hayti
appears to be settled. The Haytian
government has saluted the German
flag and the foreigners who had sought
refuge on board ships in this harbor
have returned to their homes. 1t is
understood that the question OF the
indemnity demanded by Germany for
the alleged illegal arrest and imprison-
ment of Herr Emil Lueders, German
subject, has been settled to the salts
faction of Germany and that all the de-
mands of that country have been agreed
to by the government of Hayti, in face
of the display of force made by Ger
many and under the threat of bonn
bardment of the defensive works OF the
port unless these demands were agreed
to within the eight hours following
the time the German ultimatum was
delivered Monday morning, shortly
after the arrival at this port of the two
German cruisers sent to back up the
demands of the German minister here,
Count Schwerin.

They VIII Pool Interests.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE representa-
tives of the steel and wire nail manu-
featuring firms of the United States,
who have for months been negotiating
to form a steel wire and nail pool, are
nearing a conclusion of their work. 1t
is said that about 20 of the largest steel
wire and nail manufacturers will enter
the pool and the capital involved will
exceed $6O,OOO,OOO. The legal formal
tiles for forming the pool will prob
ably not be completed until after the
holidays. Already many of the small
wire and nail concerns throughout the
country have been bought out and ne
gotiations are pending for the pur-
chase of others. According to Judge
Gary, of Chicago, G. II. Tenbrouck and
others interested, the combine will not
result in raising the prices to the pur-
chasers of wire and nails, but will en-
able the manufacturers to operate the
plants upon more economical basis.

sAeAsTA ON THE MESSAGE.
Intfmates That President Doesn't
Mean All He Says.

Mean All He Says.
Madrid, Dec. 9.-The premier, Senior
Sagasta, in All interview regarding
President McKinley's message to con-
gress, is quoted as saying he thinks
the message satisfactory, "because the
threat to intervene in Cuba was made
merely to give satisfaction to portion
of American opinion, without the in
tention of executing it."
Continuing, the premier said that the
government would not make declara-
ton on the subject. He believed the
presidents words would have influence
with the insurgents, and added that the
cortes would not be convened until the
government had ascertained the effect
of the message upon the United States
congress.
Ell Liberal, commenting on the presi-
dents message, says: "It is more IA
vorable to Spain than President Cleve-
lands, because it recognizes SPANS in
tention to enthusiastically labor to re-
establish peace in Cuba" The minis
terial Ell Globo praised President Nc
Kinley's message, the socialist repub-
lican Ell Pals asserts that the message is
shameful as it implied the moral
bankruptcy of the monarchy" The
republican Progresso takes the ground
that the message is "great humilia-
ton"
La Correspondence de Espana, the
official organ, says that after reelection
Spanish opinion on President McKn-
ley's message to congress is less Opt
mistic than at first. 1t proceeds to i'm
pugn the sincerity of the presidents
protestation of friendship for Spain
and of respect for international obliga-
ton, but it admits that the message was
addressed to congress principally and
in language which, though not intend
ed to please Spain, will annoy jingoes
and filibusters."

ions of the European press regarding
President McKinley's message to con-
gress, the majority of which, the pre-
mier said, were favorable to Spain. He
further declared that in the event of
the United States attempting to inter
vene in Cuba it would find the govern
ment prepared to defend the rights and
honor of Spain. The premier also said
he did not attach much Importance to
"the attitude of certain senator's"
