THE ARKANSAS MINERS STRIKE.

Opposition Among the Workers May
Prevent a General Strike.
Fort Smith, Ark, March 2-Reports
from western Arkansas and Indian Ter
ritory show that while large number
of miners are out, there is strong OPP
position to a strike among the men at
some places. The miners are out at
Russellville, Huntington, Ouita, Spadra,
Coal Hill and Denning. They are order
ly and cheerful. At Jenny Lind the
miners failed to go to work yesterday,
but it is not believed they will remain
out long. 1t is announced by the oper-
ators that three fourths of the miners at
Jenny Lind are opposed to the strike.
The negroes Of this city will use their
influence to prevent the importation of
negroes to take the places Of the miners.
At South McAlester, !. T., the Lehigh
and Coal Gate mines are reported as
having closed down. The Krebs, l. H.,
mines were worked Yesterday by about
$50 men. about half the usual force. All
of the mines on the line Of the Choctaw,
Oklahoma and Gulf railway were work
ed yesterday, several union miners join
ing the non-union forces.
The strike bids fair to close some of the
Indian schools in the Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations. The nations re-
ceive royalty from the coal mined, the
royalty being paid to the Indian agent
and by him applied for school purposes

Rome, March 1.-The following Of
fetal bulletin has been issued: His
holiness underwent an operation yester-
day for the removal Of a long standing
cyst, which suddenly became inflamed.
His holiness bore the operation remark
ubly well, although it was impossible to
nse chloroform. The popes condition Is
now fairly satisfactory"
The hematic cyst, which was about the
size of an orange, had been forming.
probably, for 80 years. The only per-
sons present at the operation were DR..
Mazzoni, DR.. Lapponi, who assisted, and
DIR. Pho Contra. the pope's personal at
tendant. At $50 his holiness was car
ried on a litter to window of his apart
ment. Smiling, he said to the doctors:
DO you want to play those tricks upon
me at my age?" Then he lay down COM
posedly OH his right side. Although the
courage which the patient displayed
gave the doctors courage, they feared to
use chloroform, and used instead a
liquid anaesthetc, consisting of cocaine,
chloride of sodium and morpha.
Owing to the size Of the growth the
excsion occupied some time, but DR..
Mazzoni quickly traced the extent Of the
growth, and the actual operation lasted
IL minutes. The pope displayed great
fortitude. After the bandaging he was
vi; nl hn, 70 ba haI and tho
feeling Of faintness due to shock and
loss Of blood had passed away, he ap-
peared quite calm. The fever quickly
subsidized, confirming the diagnosis Of the
doctors.
According to Italie, his holiness suf-
fered great pain during the operation.
and remarked afterward to his DOCTOR
Il understand now the seriousness Of my
illness. You must have great courage to
operate upon an old man like myself"
When he consented to the operation
his holiness said to DR.. Lapponi ut is
a truly disagreeablc thing to me to scpa-
rate myself from this, cyst just when l
am about to 60. after having had its com
pany for third of my life"
During the operation the pope asked
his private chaplain. Father Angel, to
say mass. After the surgeons had com
pleted their task he was in excellent
spirits. and even joked with them. His
holiness slept two hours during the day.
At 6 o'clock Drs. Mazzoni and Lap

the pain caused by the operation had so
far abatcd as to allow his holiness tc lie
on his back At that hour his temppra-

THE ARMY BILL SETTLED
The House Agreed to the Measure
Passed by the Senate.
AN EXTRA SESSION AVERTED.

The Senate Makes Provision For a

Washington, March 2.-The last lin
gering possibility of all extra session Of
congress disappeared yesterday when the
house passed the senate army reorganiza.
ton bill. Very considerable and vigor-
Gus opposition to the acceptance Of the
senate bill was voiced OH both sides Of
the hall, and for time it appeared pos
sible that the bill would not secure the
necessary two-thirds to pass it under
suspension of the rules. But the Repub-
lican leaders, Messrs. Henderson, Gros.
venor and Cannon, came to its support
on the Republican side and Mr.. Bailey,
the Democratic leader, threw the weight
of his influence in favor Of lit Oh the
Democratic side, arguing that it provided
only for temporary increase of the
army, which would be made permanent
il congress We're convened In extra ses-
sion.
Another big element in the vote was
Mr.. Hulrs recital Of statement made
by the president to him that he would not
construct section II as authority to con-
script the minority in volunteer Organiza-
tons which should elect to remain In
the service. The bill passed by 2O3 to
81. 1t now goes to the president.
The decks were also cleared Of many
other important matters. The general
deficiency appropriation bill, carrying
81 ,0S9,Uv0, was passed under suspen-
sion Of the rules, and the omnibus claims
bill, the naval personnel and many other
less important measures were agreed to.
The senate bill making Dewey a full ad-
miral was passed and now goes to the
president.
The senate is rapidly clearing its decks
for final adjournment. The naval ap-
preparation bill, which ordinarily con-
sumes the time Of the senate for several
days, was passed yesterday afternoon,
after less than five hours debate. In
that time, however, it was amended
radically in one respect. The price to
be paid by the government for armor
plate was fixed in the bill at $500 a
ton, reduction of the amount fixed by
the house of $145 ton. In addition
the secretary of the navy was author
lied in the event of the refusal of the
armor plate companies to supply armor
at $500 "a ton to proceed to the construc-
tion of an armor factory to cost 81 $780,
600 and placing in the secretary's con-
troll 100000 with which to operate the
government plant.
Another important measure which
passed the senate was the appropriation
bill carrying $20000.00O with which to
pay Spain for the REIMBURSEMENT Of the
Philippine Islands. 1t was passed in
half a minute without a word of debate.

and it is believed that the big ice gorges
that threatened such great destruction
will disappear without doing serious
damage. The snow OH the mountains is
melting so gradually that there is little
probability of the streams becoming I'M
usually swollen. However, some appre-
hension is still felt because of the ice and
water passing down the channel on the
York county side at Columbia, which is
now open to the middle Of the river. At
Washington borough the situation is
quite grave. In the lower part Of the
town water is over pavements and boats
are used in going from house to house.
Some places the piled up ice would have
to move only ten or fifteen feet to crash
into the houses. which would then be
swept away. No trains have been run
on the Columbia and Port Deposit rail-
road since Sunday.

The Presidents vacation.

Washington, March 2.-Soon after con-

take brief vacation to recuprrat" from
tho strain under which he has been for
the greater part Of the past year. No
definite plans have been outlined, nor
the manner of the outing finally de-
tcrmiued upon. The president prefers
trip on the water, and the probability
is he will avail himself either of the
dispatch boat Dolphin or tho yacht Syph
for cruise in Chesapeake bay and the

tinquished and the house entered the
bodies of Mrs. Kenchloe, Glowser and

burned as to be almost unrecognizablc.
Beside Glowser lay shotgun. From
all indications Glowser first killed his
wife and mother-in-law, then saturated
the room with oil, and setting fire to it

Dover will have its own electric

Such plant for Wilmington would
cost over 500, 900 and would pay if
managed on business principles,
but it would not pay if it was
run by the politicians. The city
now pays over $40, 900 year to the

i A GREAT deal of interest is GEN.
tered in who will be appointed Po-
lice Commissioner, as great deal
depends on the man. The Commits
zion will be Republican and that
means a complete reorganization of
the police force. There will be
numerous officers to choose from to
keep the force on the non-partisan
basis on which it has been conduct
ed during the past five years. There
is no rubbing it out that Chief John
Dolan has brought the force up to
its present efficiency and is a terror
to evil doors. But, like every other
city department, it must change
with the administration, from Demo
crat to Republican.
