dcrful agricultural wealth and
boundlcss resources OF the state.
The statement contains carefully

Those Strike Injunctions.

THE coal miners strike has
reached the injunction phase i'll the
natural course of all modern labor
disturbances. Large bodies of the
strikers arc marching from mine
to mine and camping upon the
property of the mine owners where
men are still at work, and by pur-
suasion and intimidation, cause a
suspension of the operating mines.
The owners consider such proceed
ings an infringement of their legal
rights and invoke the power of the
law to prevent further interference
in the management of their proper
ty, and tho courts issue sweeping
injunctions to restrain the miners.
The miners defy the courts and
officers Of the law, and a serious
clash may occur any day.
The question of whose rights are
invaded, those Of the mine owner
through the interference of the
strikers, or of the strikers by the
courts injunction, is not difficult of
solution; the former is clearly y with
in the rights given him under the
law as we'll as within that inalicn-
able right which is dear to us all
the right to conduct our business as
wcsce titas longas we do so lawfully.
1t is the miners personal privilege
to give up their employment if
they deem their wages insufficient;
but it is also the owners personal
privilege to operate their mines
with such men as offer to work for
the wages they offer. Sentiment
leads us to hope that the miners
will win an increase in wages by
the struggle they arc making, but
sentiment should not carry us SO
far as to countenance the unlawful
acts Of the strikers.
Shall the laws of the people
prevail or shall the orders of an
unruly mob be obcycd! This is

COURTEOUS TREATMENT
Received by MIR. Calhoun in Cuba.
His Discreet Reply to n Toast.

Havana. May 1S-W. j. Calhoun, the
special commissioner of the United
States who is investigating the death OF
DIR. Ricardo Ruiz, naturalized Ameri
can citizen, visited the Spanish casino
last night. which was decorated and il.
lumined in honor of the Eleventh birth
day of King Alphonso. Mr.. Calhoun was
accompanied by the Spanish consul at
Philadelphia, DR.. Jose Congosto. the
mayor of Havana. Senior Michael Diamz
and Dr. Joher. who acted as interpreter.
Mr.. Calhoun admired the building and
expressed appreciation of the courtesy
with which he was received. After the
guests and their hosts had partaken of
refreshments the secretary of the casino
toasted peace for Cuba and Sincere and
Unalterable Friendship Between the
United States and SPAIN"
DR.. ,Joher then toasted president Nc
Kinley," in English, which was respond
ed to by Mr.. Calhoun. The first words
which the latter uttered showed him to
he an accomplished orator as well as a
discreet diplomat.
After some preliminary remarks of a
complimentary nature, Mr.. Calhoun said
that when he received his appointment
to come to Cuba he formed the idea that
he was going to foreign country, but
the hospitality he had met with in Span
ish territory had made his residence
here so pleasant that he began to be-
lieve himself among his own people, and
he was almost forgetting his own coun-
try while longing for the approach of
peace and progress in Cuba.
Mr.. Calhoun left the casino shortly be-
fore II o'clock,

Free speech Measure.

Berlin. May 1S.-After protracted de-
bate in the lower house of the Prussian
diet today the bill amending the law OF
public meetings and associations was OF
fered to committee of thirty-eight mem
bers. During the debate the radicals,
socialists, anti-semite and some Of the
centrist speakers strongly criticised the
policy of the government on the right 'of
public association.
Dr. Won Boettischer, the imperial secre,,
tary of state for the interior, declared
the government did not desire to enter
into a war with the reichstag:, lie
added that the sole object of the bill was
to supplement the present inadequate
means of preventing abuse of the right
of association. No member of the
Prussian government, he continued,
would dream of coup d'etat More
over, the imperial administration, the
federal government and the Prussian
government were in entire agreement on
the matter,

the path of liberty. He laid the founda-
ton upon which we have grown from
weak and scattered colonial governments
to a united republic whose domains and
mower, as well as whose liberty and free

tracted from the fame and force of his
achievements or diminished the grandeur
of his life and work. Great deeds do
not stop in their growth, and those of
Washington will expand in influence in

"The bequest Washington has made to
civilization is rich beyond computation.
The obligations under which he has
nlaccd mankind are sacred and com
handing. The responsibility he has
left for the American people, to preserve
and perfect what he accomplished, is
exacting and solemn. Let us rejoice
in every new evidence that the people
realize what they enjoy, and cherish
with affection the illustrious heroes of

sQUALLY TIMES IN KENTUCKY.
The Legislature in Tie-Up-An
Effort mt Fisticuffs.

Frankfort, Ky, May 1S.-The silver
democratic minority, with possession of
the senate, Goebel in the chair and
BrOnston on the floor, held the floor
through an eight-hour session today and
promises to continue it until the end of
the present session on Friday The gold
democratic-republican majority of each
house is still determined that the fusion
bill shall pass the senate at least and
that it shall go through both houses this
summer if there is any way to persuade
or to force the governor to recall the
session.
Senator Holloway, a gold democrat,
tried to strike Senator Bronston, the sill
yer democrat, who is holding the floor,
and while he was being held away from
him Bronston said:
Damn you and your demands" and
then: Turn him loose. 1 dare you to
lay your hand on me, you cowardly
whelp."
Adjournment came at Z o'clock.
1t is plain now that the bill can not be-
come law this session; that other impor-
tant legislation must go down with it,
and that upon the question of whether the
assembly is recalled and the bill then
passed depends the political complexion
of this state for several years to come.

THE BATTLE OF DOMOKOs.
Details Are Scarcc-Greek Defeat
Was Evidently Complete.

London, May 19.-1 Il. m.)-London is
still without accounts of the battle of
Domokos from the Turkish side, but il
is evident that the Greek defeat was
complete and decisive. An Italian officer
with the Greeks puts their killed and
wounded at 2000. but probably this is
much exaggerated as the Greek posi-
tons were well protected and the retreat
began as soon as they became untenable.
1t is believed that Edhem Pasha will
insist upon the surrender to him of the
passes over the Othrys range before he
consents to an armistice. But save for
small force of Turkish cavalry following
the retreating Greeks at distance of
1000 yards. the Turks have not attempt
ed to attack the rear guard.
The war is virtually ended.
The crown prince headed the retreat
and his headquarters are now establish
ed close to Devenfourka pass, Il very
narrow gorge through the Orthys range
10 miles from Lama.
The greatest depression exists al
Athens. There is Il complete collapse of
the high hopes raised by the optimistic
dispatches of Constantine, but as yet
there are no disorders.
While the battle was in progress the
government vainly endeavored to get al
the exact position and the number of
casualties, but Constantine sent only
evasive reports. Very feeble were the
shouts raised when additional troops
started for the front yesterday. The
Athenians are completely disheartened.

RUSSIA SHOWED HER HAND
GEAR CAME OUT FLAT-FOOTED
FOR AN ARMIsTICE, AND IT
WAS so ORDERED.
TURKEY WAS INCLINED TO DEFY
The Powers, and Was Backed by
Germany-It In Evident That the
Greek Defeat at Domokos
Was Complete.

Constantinople, May 1S.-There was
sudden and unexpected change in the pc
litical situation shortly before noon to
day. Russia quietly showed her hand
and thereby forced Germany and Turkey
ont of the game to all intents and pur
poses. Last night and early this morn
ing, Turkey, supported by Germany, was
practically defying Russia, France, Aus
tria. Great Britain and Italy, insisting
upon the annexation Of Thessaly in adj
dition to huge war indemnity and seem
ingly was determined to march upon
Athens.
The ministers received official adviees
from Sofia today announcing that orders
had been issued for the partial mobii-
cation of the Bulgarian army, possibly mt
the instgaton of Russia. There was a
hurried consultation of the ministers.
The war party was for further defiance,
but in the end pacific councils seemed
TO have prevailed. for at IL: 30 a. m. Or
ders were telegraphed to Edhem Pasha,
the Turkish commander-in-chief in Thes-
sally. to cease hostilities. The peace ne
gotiatiOns will now be undertaken in real
earnest, and the Greeks will most likely
be spared any further humiliation.
1t transpred that the ear made d.
rect appeal to the sultan to order his
troops to cease firing and arrange an
nrmistiee, and this. coupled with the fact
that most serious results would have
ensued If Turkey had persisted in her
defiant attitude, brought about the pres
cnt state Of affairs.
Tewfik Pashn, the Turkish minister of
foreign affairs, called upon the dean of
the diplomatic corps, Baron Won Calico,
this afternoon to convey to the foreign
ministers the sultan's decision to arrange
an armistice. 1t Is now believed that the
terms OF peace will be negotiated directly
between Turkey and Greece.
The sultan has ordered two hospitals
Of 600 and 100 beds respectively to be
erected near the Yildz Kiosk in order to
enable him to visit the Turkish soldiers
who have been wounded in the campaign
against the Greeks.
