A GLOOMY vIRw.,s
The Outlook for the Mining Industry In This
Country.


LONDON, Eng, January 27.-Samuel
Woods, secretary of the British trade
union congress and its parliamentary
committee, and who attended as fra
ternal delegate the convention of the
American federation Of labor at Gin
cinnati, last month, takes = rather
gloomy view Of the condition and
prospects of the mining industry in the
Bnitei States.
In an article he has written on the
results of his observations, he says that
the condition of the miners, especially
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, Is very un-
fortunate, their earnings being far
below those Of their fellow workers in
England. This condition, he says, Is
due to the cosmopolitan nature Of the
labor employed. The mines OF Amer
lea, he says, through the power of coal
trusts and monopolies, are being work
ed mainly by Coolie labor--black men,
Russians, Chinese, foreigners of all
kinds; and as aconsequence, American
and British workmen are being rapidly
driven out.

The senate committee on foreign re-
lations, to-day, considered the general
treaty arbitration between this country
and Great Britain, without reaching q
conclusion. The general drift Of the
discussion indicated that the instrument
must be amended, so as to eliminate
any possible inclusion of questions con-
corning the domestic or foreign policy
OF either of the contracting parties. It
is believed by some that conclusion
will be reached at special meeting to
be held on Saturday and that the
treaty will be reported to the senate on
Mon day.

giving entertainments and exhibitions
OF his power OF reading ones mind and
the palm of the hand is very clever in
his work. Monday a committee con-
sisting OF Will Knott Or. Ohlinger,
Arthur Conner and II. Z. McElroy
took double rig, drove around town
and hid book and pin, the former
in cracker barrel at Robinson & Hud-
sons, and the latter in Vincent's store.
They drove back to the hotel and after
blindfolding Rosco, he drove the rig
over the same route, found the articles
and what was most remarkable after
returning to the hotel, opened the
book to the page and placed the pin
in "A word the committee had selected,
spelling it out correctly. In the even
ing he gave {. number of very satisfac-
tory tests. Fisk Bangs took a knife
from AL. Weter's pocket and hid it on
the hotel Office safe. Rosco led him a
double quick pace to where 1T was
secreted and returned it to Weter's
pocket. He calls the science mind
telepatphy and says it is now only in
its infancy. This is a progressive age
and there are wonderful developments
being made all along the line of science,
theology, geology, mysteries and isms,
and il mind telepatphy can be brought
into practical use in the betterment of
mankind it will be a good thing and
should be pushed along.
