FARMERS CONGRATULATED.
An Improvement in the Price of Most
Products of the Farm.


The National Grange, Patrons of Hus-
bandry, convened in the Supreme Court
chamber at Harrisburg, Pa. Delegates
from almost all the States represented in
the national body were present. National
Master j. II. Brigham, assistant Secre-
tary of Agriculture, was in the chair n
submitted his annual report. He said:
We have reason to rejoice over the marked
Improvement in the prices of most products
Of the farm. The prices now received are
not burdensome to the consumer but re-
muneratiVe to the farmer and If maintained
will cause a marked advance in the value
of farm lands. 1t is also q highly gratifying
sign Of the times that the business failures
in the South and Southwest in July, Au-
gust and September Of the present year rep
resented in the aggregate of their liabilities
only $4,394, 600, as compared with $11, 1885,
GOO during the corresponding period Of the
preceding year.
Earnest efforts are being made to extend
our markets in foreign countries and to Sc
cure the abolition of the discriminating re-
strictions and prohibitions n~njustly main
tanned by certain foreign countries against
the agricultural products.
Congress will undoubtedly be urged by in
terested associations to appropriate large
sums of money to build dams, reservoirs and
canals for the purpose Of irrigating the arid
lands Of the West. 1t is not the policy Of
our grange to espouse the cause of any po-
litical party or indorse the policies advo-
Gated by either, but when the people have
settled the questions at issue, we accept
their decision and try to secure for agricul-
ture fair treatment in the legislation carry
ing into effect the policy Endorsed by the

COAL MINES OF NORTHERN IL

Diggers Gather Under Ratchford's
Banner and Demand the Springfield
neutrality-suspicious. Are Angry and
Say a Crisis Is at Hand.
Miners Vote to Quit,

The miners mass meeting at Coal City,
ILL.,, voted unanimously to resume the
strike throughout the WilmingtOn-Braid,
wood district. The decision affects the
mines at Carbon Hill, Diamond and Coal
City, and postpones pending settlement in
other towns except where the full scale is
paid. The miners will contend for the
gross-weight scale as adopted at Spring
field. They will ignore the propositions
offered by the operators based On Il screen
scale. 1t is the purpose to abolish the
whole system as speedily as possible, even
at a sacrifice in the price per ton if nee
eSsary.
The miners at Braceville, who were the
first to- return to work at the 11R-cent
rate, were all busy in the mine when Pres
ident Ratchford and Il small army of
strike leaders reached the town. After
some delay $50 English-speaking miners
met in MaIcolm's Hall, where Mr.. Ratch
ford addressed them. He told them they
had lost ~ cents a ton by returning to
work before the Streator convention. He
said the operators at Streator had offered
practically to settle at q figure equivalent

in Washington.
The experts representing the three gov
ernments, the United States. England and
Canada, assembled at the State Depart
ment in Washington. There were pres
ent Messrs. Jordan, Thompson and Nc
Coun. In addition Gen. Foster and Mr..
Hamlin were in attendance for the United
States and Sir Louis Davies for Canada.
Sir Julian Pauncefete sent 4 note excus-
ing himself from coming ON account Of
illness.
The meeting lasted for about an hour,
and presumably the proceedings We're
mainly preliminary and designed to out
line a plan Of procedure. Mr.. Hamlln
was elected chairman. 1t was officially
stated that the proceedings were in the
sense that nothing could be given out for
publication before the end of the DELHI
erations. The treaty which was negotiat-
ed last week between the United States
and Japan and Russia for the further
protection of the seals was not referred
to in the first meeting, although it's gen.
eral provisions are known to the British
delegates. h feature of the treaty is
said to be the short time it is to continue
in force, the limit being one year.
President Mckinley received Sir Will
frid Laurier, premier of Canada, in the
blue room at the White House. Secre-
tary Sherman introduced Sir Wilfrid,
who was accompanied by Sir Julian
Pauncefote. British ambassador Sir Louis
Davies and Prof. Thompson, the British
seal expert. The visit was entirely for
NAL.
The Canadian premier received callers
in very democratic fashion at his apart
ments in the Shoreham, but to all he gave
the reply that it would be manifestly pre-
mature at this stage for him to discuss
the outlook on the Boring sea question
or any other subjects which concern the
United States and Canada. He and Sir
Louis desired first to communicate with
the seal experts of the United States and
Great Britain before Indicating any
course of action. He made it clear, also,
that they would give their exclusive at
tention to this subject until some con-
clusion was reached, and that other ques-
tons. such us reciprocity, border immi-
grafton, ETC., would not be referred to I'M
til the first purpose of the visit was &C
complished. 1t was stated that the off,
cial purpose of the visit was to consider
the Bering sea matter, and that future
circumstances would develop how far 9th
er questions would be opened to consid.

told the miners they, too, could secure
the advance if they would but insist on it
and suspend work until the union officials
and operators could get together and set
tie ON a uniform scale. Before Mr.. Ratch-
ford had finished the men were wildly en-
thusiastic, and when the vote was taken
every man voted to resume the strike.
From Braceville Mr.. RatchfOrd and his
brother officials drove across country to
Coal City, where 400 miners were gath
cred. Speechmaking took up the entire
afternoon. There was no dissenting voice
on the vote to resume the strike for ten
days or until the operators would agree to
arbitrate.
President Ratchford and several miners
officials held a conference at Streator
with several operators Saturday morning.
A. L. Sweet of Chicago talked for the
operators. He declared he for one would
never arbitrate. He said he did not know
a man in the State whom he would trust
to arbitrate a difference between work
men and employers. He believed the men
always got the best of it.
The indications are that the entire
northern Illinois mining district will be
tied up again. A letter from the district
chairman at Springfield contained the in
formation that q committee of miners had
had a conference with Gov. Tanner ON
the Chinese proposition. and that the
Governor had not only said that he would
not permit the importation of Cinnamon,
but that there should be no Gatling guns
to coerce the men back into the mines.
The Governor said that if he found that
the operators were building stockades
about the mines he would see that they
were torn down. The Governor referred
to the Chicago ex-policemen, who, it was
said, were to be sen there to protect non
union men, and said that he would
promptly send them back to their homes.
To all outward appearance the importa-
ton of Cinnamon has ceased to be a bug
aboo with the miners, and there is scarce
ly one who can be found now who be-
lieves that the companies will ever make
such an attempt. They rest their cause
on public opinion and say the operators
will not dare to do that which they know
would precipitate riot and bloodshed.

Trial of Policemen.

The trial of Policemen Evans and Foley
before the trial board yesterday, as pub
lished in yesterdays Star. was concluded
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. More
than twenty witnesses were examined. Po-
liceman Evans "semi-comatose" condition
and how he got in this condition proved
an interesting question for the members of
the board to solve. Messrs. Nauck and
Nauck, who appeared as counsel for the
accused officers, called witnesses to ex-
plain the prescription and the effect an
overdose would probably nave on an indi-
vidual. On this point several witnesses
were examined and cross-eXamined by the
members of the board. Singularly enough
the officer said he had taken the medicine
on both occasions of his visits to the house
on Ohio avenue. The colored chamber
maid al the house was called as a witness
and she told, in an amusing way how the
big policeman would call to her, Bring
another cocktail She said he gave her
money and she went to a neighboring sa-
loon ard bought the drinks So far as
Policeman Evans was concerned he re-
riemtered very little of his movements af-
ter he had taken the drug. AS stated in
yesterdays Star, the testimony will be sent
10 the Commissioners later in the week.
