COAL STRiK E.
Thousands of Timers in he Pittsburg

force the Chicago Agreement.

Pittsburg, Pa, April All indica-
tions point to a general suspension of
coal mining along the Monong ahela
river and by Wednesday it is expected
10000 diggers will be on strike. The
operators have been requested by the
miners to acknowledge the Interstate
agreement and comply with its terms.
Thus far only a portion of the firms
have acceded to the demands and the
others propose to fight it out with
their employees and the United Mine
Workers Association. Nothing short
Of the operators complying with the
conditions of the Chicago agreement
can avert a general strike and it is
probable the river operators will eX-
perienca a shut-d down similar to that
which the railroad operators had on
their hands last summer Already p
geo diggers have struck and 5000 are
expected to quit tomorrow On We'd
nesday a monster meeting is sched-
uled for West Elizabeth, which will be
attended by about 5000 miners, and it
is almost a certainty that the strike
will be made general at that time.

beneficial effect that no claim seems

WORDS OF HOPE FOR WEAK MEN

Men with weakened powers and ex-
hausted vigor have been taught to be-
lieve that such cases are hopeless.
They lose all ambition and give them
selves up to despair. Their condition
may be the result of habits, or inds-
cretions, or it may be to certain ex-
tent inherited, but there is compensa-
ton in nature and these ills are cur
able. Seek DR.. Greene, 80 West 14th
Street, New York City, or write him
fully. He has found the glorious
remedies that redeem manhood and
multitudes of men testify to the won
derful recuperative powers of the treat
ment OF this great specialist. One OF
his wonderful discoveries is the world
famed Nervura. The advice OF vour
local doctor you have found valueless
but the worlds foremost physician tells
you he can cure you and restore YOU to
usefulness. He will give you advice
absolutely free, and your case will be
treated with inviolabie confidence.
Many men have been victims Of costly
experiments and are skeptical. but the
broad statements of this eminent phy-
stefan can be trusted. Think what
restored vitality would mean to YOU
and hesitate no longer. Write to Dir.
Greene and be cured.

Europe 1t had been understood that
France and Austria We're most active

that Great Britain had held aloof from
it, but it developed to-day that
THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
was also taking part in the exchange
and that in case of concerted action by
the powers Great Britain would prob
ably act with the others.
What common ground the powers
are seeking to reach can only be con
jectured. The general view of the di-
plomats is that the movement is not so
much one toward reconciling the Uni
ted States and Spain as it is to preserve
the peace of the world by combined ac-
ton.

This is what Representative DAYTON
said early this afternoon.
But as most of the other Republicans
in the House are willing to wait FOR
the Presidents message until Wednes-
day, perhaps till Thursday, before
passing resolutions, and as the Demo-
Gratis would be choked off, il. they at
tempted any movement, Mr.. Dayton
will probably not get a chance to vote
for independence and intervention un-
til late in the week.
Captain Dovener is one ~ the Re-
publicans who are perfectly willing to
wait until Wednesday or Thursday for
the President. He might be kept in
line until next week, he said, late this
afternoon, if the President gave satis-
factory reasons for the delay. But he
is confident that when the President S
message does come it will recommend
recognition of independence and inter-
vention. If it does not, he thinks Con-
gress will pass such resolutions any
way.
But it seems plain that the President
realizes he will be
DESERTED AND REPUDIATED
By his own party if he does not recon-
mend independence and intervention,
and as he is a politician he will not
venture on a course that would leave
him without support.
He viii bow to the will Of The party
and the country, drop his idea al
sending in a peace message, and come
out in high-sounding declaration call
culated to fire the popular heart.
But he will not deserve much credit
for this, because he has been forced
into it by the knowledge that if he did
otherwise Congress would turn on him
in anger and might in its excitement
pass an immediate declaration OF war
on Spain, making the treacherous de-
struction Of the Maine in Havana har-
Dor the casus belli.
1t is predicted, however, that If Con-
gress passes q resolution merely d.
recting the President to intervene by
force in Cuba "at his discretion he
will not act at once, but will resume
negotiations with Spain and let mat
tiers drift along until the rainy season
closes in the fall.
In fact, friends Of the President de-
clare now that such is his programme
and that the resolutions which the Re
publicans will adopt with a great hur-
rah in response to the Presidents
message will not direct immediate IN
tervention. but will make it possible
