BRITAIN AND HER COLONIES.
What Chamberlain Desires Now I'm the
Way of Representation.

London, July 13.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle says that Mr.. Chamberlain, finding
his plan for colonial representation in
the house Of commons is out Of the ques-
tion, wants Canada, Australia, and
South Africa each to have a representa-
tive in the house of lords and for this
reason wished Sir Donald Smith, the
Canadian high commissioner, raised to
the peerage. Chamberlain hopes that
when the premiers return home and
consult their governments they will ar
range for the nomination of these rep
resentatives. Mr. Chamberlain also
hopes eventually to constitute the CO.
lonial agents general into a sort of ad-
visory council, meeting regularly at the
colonial office and giving the colonial
secretary the benefit Of their counsel.
In addition to the fact, however, that
the conferences held did not run as
smoothlyas Mr.. Chamberlain would have
liked, a majority Of the premiers ex-
pressed surprise at the military, easy
going methods of the imperial authori-
ties and the comparative indifference Of
the colonial office towards the new prob
lens created by the United States
whose instant action regarding Hawaii
and Samoa, as eXpending their power,
introduces totally new element into
Australian politics.

Lenders VIII Try to Induce the West
Virginia Miners to Quit Work and Join
the Great Movement.
Chicago, July 13.-Coal mine owners
refuse to arbitrate. This is the new
feature in the great strike of the soft
coal miners. The men are willing to
submit to arbitration, but their employ
ers' refusal to be a party thereto will
prevent the hoped-for appointment by
President Mckinley of a board of arbi-
traitors. OF course, as president, Mr.. Nc
Kinley has no authority for any such
action; but, as the first citizen of the re-
public, his influence, the miners hoped
would be cast with those who seek a
peaceful settlement of the issues be-
tween man and master. With the first
week Of the strike gone into history and
the outlook for a settlement in the near
future not good, experts are figuring
the losses consequent upon the struggle.
Number of Idle Miners.
The total number of miners idle in the
various states, as nearly as can be
learned, is as follows: Pennsylvania,

nos, 27,0C0; West Virginia, 1000; other
states, $4,000; total miners idle, 10000.
The loss in wages to these 10000 men
by reason of their suspension, is esti-
mated to be $462 900 for the week. fig
ured on the basis that If at work they
would earn 20 cents per day. This num-
ber of miners would mine not less than
an average of one and two-firths tons
each day, which would amount to 154,-
900 tons per day, or 924,000 tons per week.
Supposing that the operator makes
profit of 25 per cent. per ton run Of mine
coal. he would be loser by the strike to
the amount of 100000 The railroad
companies, which have been transport
ing this coal to the lakes at an average
rate of 80 cents per ton, will lose in the
neighborhood of 5000, 900. There is less
talk of a coal famine. but no abatement
of the energy displayed in hustling for
stocks.
Chicago Buys from Cincinnati.
Chicago is buying 400 cars a day from
Cincinnati, and is securing other near
by cities with varying success. So far
there has been no violence, no attack
on constituted authorities. and the strike
leaders are very desirous that there shall
be none. Future interest centers In the
possibility Of an extension Of the strike
to other lines of labor. Daily there Is
more discussion of the possibility Of
refusal of railroad employees to haul
non-union coal. West Virginia is the
center of non-union mining in the east,
and the governor of that state has pub
licly declared his intention to use troops,
if need be, to protect the miners of that
state from molestation. While as yet IL
rs only one of the possibilities, 1t may
come to pass that the stationary and
marine engineers will throw their sup
port to the miners. This would mean
the Gripping Of not only lake traffic,
but the Generalization Of all the big
steam plants In this city.
Not Asked for Help.
The action Of the engineers Will, of
course, depend upon the stand taken by
the Federation of Labor. AS yet this
organization has not been asked for help
by the miners, and the members Of the
order have not expressed any decided
opinion as to what they would like to do.
If the Federation decides to take a
stand by the side Of the miners, then the
engineers may be looked to to take some
radical action. In the event of the en-
glneers going out IL Will be on the
ground that they cannot handle steam
produced from coal mined by non-union
stationary engineers are union men, and
their decision will be awaited with much
anxiety by many business men.
