the West Ridge colliery, due to the
refusal of the drivers employed in the
mines to resume work on q reduction
in wages. on Saturday last they re-
ceived their months salary, and stated
that the scale on which they agreed to
go back to their work was not fulfilled
and yesterday they deemed it advis-
able, under the circumstances to cease
work, which caused a suspension of
operations at the colliery.

Keane's departure for Rome on the
Vera Saturday was a surprise. He
had not intended to sail until Deem
Der, when Archbishop Ireland of st.
Paul was to have gone with him. His
hurried departure, prominent Catho-
lie clergyman said, was due to the
fact that he was summoned to Rome
to make a report on the state Of feel
ing in America in regard to the an
rexation of the Philippines and the
attitude of the American people
toward the Catholic church in Cuba

possessions. Archbishop IrelandS
friends, in view of the many inter
views between that prelate and Arch
bishop Keane, look for a realization
shortly Of their anticipation of a
