STRIKE NOT SETTLED

|. The strike at the Richland coal
mine is still unsettled. The arbitra-
ton committee of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly held a con-
ference Sunday night with the opera
tor. j. F. Cilchrist. and last night met
with the miners, but could effect no
settlement. The committee will make
another effort to-day. Mr.. GilchTist
says he is willing to reinstate the dis
charged miner. but demands some
guarantee that the miners viii keep
the former agreement.

Bruised, battered and blackened
with age, one of the first sights that
caught the vision was an old still. The
card 1t bore bespoke the legend: "102
years DID," 1t seemed so strangely
out of place among modern things.
Displayed as it was in booth decked
with devices OF the highest decorative
art, among festoonings of grain and
musty barrels. begrimed with dross of
years OF cellar storage, the old still
seemed 10 ADJ a distinctive finish to
the excellent exhibit of the Large Dis
tiliing Company.
upon questioning the attendant the
following was adduced: The Large
Dlstilling Company was founded over
100 years ago by John Large, and was
the first distillery in the Monongahela
valley. The still you see there is the
one that produced the first output of
this company. In the days of John
Large his whisky was always quoted
for its absolute purity, and so Jealous
ly has this quality been guarded that
when transmissions of business inter-
eSts were made from father to son.
and so on to present owners, the ex-
press stipulation made a part of such
sale was that the whisky produced by
any corporation bearing my name
shall be absolutely pure
Owing to the purity of the Large
whisky, it has been awarded number
less medals, among which is the
Worlds Fair medal The booth you
see here is made up OF grains taken
right from fields in which they are
grown for our use. The samples
shown are drawn directly from the
original packages, while these barrels,
one of which is over II years old, and
the others 10 years and years old re-
spectively, were taken directly from
cur vast storage warehouses.
THE mellowness, body, bouquet
and purity of Large whisky affords
and assures a continuous growth and
| constant demand. To-day it is sold
| nearly in every first class club, hotel,
| cafe and bar. Orders for Large
whisky reach us constantly from all
| parts of the world, while its sale in
the United States is enormous and in
| creasing. But lately the government
was in communication with us relative
| to its use in hospitals, owing to it's
purity and general excellence as a
medicinal agent

Paris, Oct. 1.-The United States
peace commission held another session
yesterday morning. after which, &C.
companied by the United States am
bassador, Gen. Horace Porter, they
drove to the foreign office, where the
commissioners met and breakfasted
with the Spanish commissioners. The
Americans regard the occasion as be-
ing Il happy means of making the two
sets OF commissioners acquainted with
each other. 1t is said the affair was
conducted with the utmost discretion.
The French newspapers continue to
comment upon the difficulties which
the W commissions will have to face
by reason of their divergent instruc-
tons, beyond which. it is said. they
cannot go. Gil Bias says: The Span
ish government has given it's commits
sloners very precise instructions.
They are to do their utmost to have it
admitted that there can be no question
OF disputing the rights of Spanish SOW
ereignty over Manila, the island of Luz
zon and the rest of the Archipelago,
outside OF the naval stations. which
Spain will cede at the Marianne
islands. On the other side the Ameri-
can commissioner, before leaving
President Mckinley, received from
him very precise instructions from
which the commissioners cannot de-
part. The following is the text OF their
Instructions:
"First-Spain cedes absolute sover-
eighty over the whole OF the island OF
LuZon.
"Second-The other islands OF the
archipelago will be replaced under the
dominion of Spain on condition of n
liberal government accorded TO the in
habitants.
Third - Complete separation or
church and state In the Philippines.
Fourth Spain cannot cede any
other islands in the group to any for
eign power without Americas con-
sent.
"Fifth-America shall enjoy for all
time the same commercial privileges as
the most favored nations, without ex-
cepting Spain herself"
The Gil Bias concludes with remark
ing: 1T is, therefore, to be feared that
for unhappy Spain the negotiations
which open on the LIST OF October will
give no satisfaction"

The liabilities OF the state on January

Bonded debt, 5000, 200; floating debt,

interest and income common school

land funds, $610.26, making 4 total liza
bility of s1,358, 654.28. After deducting
Sl3S, 765.45, the amount received from
the Taylor shortage which was contin-
gent to the above liability, we find the
net debt to be 1919, $3.50.
There have been bonds issued to the
amount of sos, 900 and bonds paid to the.
amount of S275, 900. The floating debt
has been liquidated and the school funds
have all been made good, and as a re-
suit we find the bonded debt, which is
the entire debt of the state, to be $751;

ware of them and consider well before

proposition is to let our currency alone.

IL Is an undisputed fact that railroads

garded. OF course, the benefits derived
,by he people from the convenience of
railroads, are many and no one dis,
putes the fact that they have been and

o tina our state has become rich
In productions and is dependent upon
the railroads to place our various pro-
ducts upon the market, they must moi
show a disposition to take advantage OF
the situation and demand more than is
a just and right compensation. II is
giving them too great a power to allow
them to regulate and fix their own
rates-they are sure to abuse such priv
ileges.
They have been granted their fran
chises and other rights with tho dis
tinct understanding that they treat all
the people justly, and that they charge
only such rates as yill yield them a
fair return upon their investments.
The law passed by the last legislature
places in q state commission the super
vision of the roads and their rates. and
gives tho commissioners full power to
require justice and fair treatment for
all the people.
