not in the world. In this connection
mention Of the New York Symphony

BIG BATTLE IN CUBA.
Spaniards Defeated by General Co
nez's Forces.


New York, March 1S.-A Sun special
from Havana says: A big battle has
been fought at Sabana, near Sancti
Spiritus, between the forces of General
Gomez and a Spanish column 1000

the battle gives no details, but the re-
port is current that the Spaniards suf-
fered a terrible defeat. The news has
created a great sensation.
Many large cane fires are reported all

plying the torch to the fields in order to
prevent grinding.
Several Cuban leaders in Matanzas
province have received orders from Co
mez to march towards Las Villas or
Santa Clara province. 1t is reported
that the rebels have blown up train

tails are lacking.

LAST ROSE OF SUMNER"
Woman Who Suggested the Poem to

Woman Who Suggested the Poem to
Moore Dies at Mount Vernon.
New YORK, July 19.-Mrs. Amelia
Kohler, aged 92, died Sunday at Mount
Vernon. Had it not been for Mrs.
Kohler Tom Moore might never have
written "The Last Rose of Summer. "
The poem was of her suggestion, and
the first line was from her lips She
was, early in the century, close friend
of Moore's sister, who kept private
school in London. While walking in
the garden of the school with the poet
one day, Mrs. Kohler, so the story runs,
plucked rose, remarking: "'Tis the
last rose of summer; why not write
about it, Mr.. Moore?"
The incident suggested the thought
that was afterwards so beautifully
woven into verse, and the poem was
dedicated by the poet to "Amelia, "
which is Mrs. Kohler's first name.

the Situation and Says

corrMBUs, o., July 19.-President
p,tcbford sums up the strike situation
,s fellows: "The manner in which the
miners are conducting themselves COM
monds itself to the country and gives
.bor officers renewed encouragement
and strengthens the belief that victory
will ultimately crown their efforts.
"The history of industrial strife has
no arallel to the present movement.
Deputy marshals, coal and iron police
| and secret detectives have been at work,
but their presence has failed to incite
the miners to acts of lawlessness or even
10 a resumption of work. Their pres
snce in peaceable communities with a
chin on their shoulder gave some
cause for alarm, and ordinarily would
have caused resort to violence. But
our miners in this instance, profiting by
the experience of the past, would
neither cause trouble themselves nor
allow themselves to become involved in
the trouble by the action of others.
Satisfied With Results.
1--WE have started into this movement
realizing fully the Importance Of the
work before us, and after two weeks OF
suspension involving more than 10000
miners, we are well satisfied with the
results. Only those Tho are best ac-
eaainted with the colNition of the min
ers have any idea of the extent Of this
suspension and its paralyzing effects
upon the labor and business of the
country. 1t has not yet reached its full
proportions. The coming week will add
10000 men to the idle column. The
week following will bring greater ac-
cessions to our ranks. The movement
will continue to grow not only from the
point OF number involved, but public
opinion will become crystallized more
lully and through the press of the coun-
Try will demand solution of this great
difficulty"

still believe one day would be sufficient,
they have decided, more to disarm the
protests the minority would be sure to
make, to give two full days for debate.
1t is not believed that single Repub-
hcan vote in the house will be recorded
against the report.
Senate May Cause Delay.
The programme in the senate is much
more indefinite on account of the wide
latitude allowed for debate and the alb
sence of any parliamentary method of
bringing the report to a vote. The
Democratic senators, it is safe to pre-.
sumo from their talk, intend to assail
the compromise on sugar, to which the
conferees agreed, and to make a pretty
stiff fight against the restoration to the
dutiable list of cotton bagging, cotton
ties, burlaps, etc, which they succeed
ed with the aid of the Populists and one
or two Republicans i'll placing on the
free list They also will make strong
opposition to the restoration of white
pine to the house rate of 50 per thou
sand. Some of the Democratic senators
discussed the possibility of
Defeating the Report in the Senate
on the presumption that they might be
able to secure as many votes against the
report as they did to place these articles
on the free list. But no one imagines
seriously that the report is in any dan
h. xx-hn tN n
final vote. And, moreover, the most
prominent Democratic senators freely
express the opinion that the fight in the
senate may be spirited, but will be
brief.

HOW RUSSIA DID 1T.
Trouble Over q C hange in Standards OF
Value Easily Remedied.

Value Easily Remedied.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Russia has
experienced some difficulty in reversing
her standard of value by simple decree,
as shown in a report to the state depart
ment by United States Consul Henan at
Odessa. He says:
"The change inaugurated about two
years ago in the currency of Russia
from silver to what is supposed to be
gold basis, has had somewhat depress-
ing effect upon the mind of the peasant
farmers. By imperial edict it was made
known that a rouble gold piece would,
until further notice, be equal to
roubles and 30 copecks, paper currency,
and o check drawn on any Russian
bank for rs roubles must be coraidered
paid should the holder receive 80 rorlL ,es
in gold
"The masses Of Russin are said to be
uneducated and ignorant; nevertheless,
when they were offered a 5.rouble gold
piece in payment of debt due them for
2 roubles and 80 copec.ss, they refused
to accept it, and pointed out that
stamped on the gold piece in plain Rus
sian characters were the words "five
roubles," and they furthermore demand
to know why it was that they were ex-
pected to believe that twice two and
o half made seven roubles and fifty
copecks in money or anything else.
"The government officials were equal
to the emergency, recoined the same
rouble gold piece, and stamped on it
roubles and 80 copecks, which illustrates
the old adage that "there are more
ways of killing cat than by choking it
with butter"

THAT SEAL CONFERENCE.
Report That One Would BE Held at
Washington Confirmed.

SOnuTmeu.
LONDON, July 19-The report cabled
on Thursday that an international con.
ference on the seal controversy would
be held at Washington in the autumn
is confirmed by an official paragraph is-
sued by the British authorities. The
statement says:
"The publication of an isolated old
dispatch which has been duly replied to,
much as it may be regretted, has not re-
tarded the progress of the negotiations
in London. AS there seems, however,
to be some misapprehension on the sub.
ject, it should be pointed out that in the
communications now passing there is
no question of altering the regulations
now in force in the Bering sea or of i'm.
posing fresh restrictions.
"Mr. John w. Foster, on behalf OF
his government, is urging that the ex.
perts representing the governments in
terested should meet and compare the
results of their investigations with a
view of arriving at an agreed state of
facts. That is the sole object of the
proposed meeting.
"An idea that the conference will
deal with the question of revising the
regulations is entirely misleading. Con.
ferences between the representatives of
the United States, Canada and the for
eign and colonial officers are proceed
ing almost daily"
