RECORDS ARE DESTROYED.
New Sensation Develops in wrang1e
at the Miners Convention
at Pittsburgh.
EIGHTEEN PAGES STOLEN BY BOLD THIEF
Act of Vandalism Occurs While the
Investigating Committee Is at
Dreakfast-Nny Have Been Done to
Necessitate Sending for Cash
Books of the Order.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. IL. - When the
fourth days session of the United Mine
Workers convention was called to or
der, the chairman of the investigating
committee reported that the commit
tee had worked on the books all night
and would not be ready to report to the
convention for several hours. A recess
was then taken until one o'clock in the
afternoon.
Prior to the resumption of the sos
sion sensation was sprung by the dis
covery that during the absence of the
investigating committee at breakfast,
unknown persons had entered the
committee room in the ST. Charles ho-
tel and mutilated the records. Eight
cen pages were torn from the ledger
and carried away, while many other
pages were blotted and blurred. The
thief or thieves left no clew and the
announcement of the outrage caused
intense indignation. The miners Off
cials believe that the object of the per-
son who mutilated the books was to
destroy the records from Illinois. This
state had been gone over by the investi-
eating committee and no objections
were found to seating any of the dele
gates represented by the committee on
credentials. Another object the thief
may have had, it is claimed, was to
make it necessary to send for the cash
books, it having been decided by the
convention Wednesday afternoon not
to send for them.

a smine' clause and will insist upon

ton of wages. The miners have not
yet considered the new agreement, but
it is the general sentiment among them
that any attempt to increase the hours
OF labor, cut wages or to strike out inn
portant clauses will be vigorously
fought in the convention.

A SIGN OF THE TIMES.

For weeks past the *convction has prevailed
among business men in St Paul that the opening OF
spring would witness substantial revival in all forms OF
local industry OF city has shared with most
large population the prevailing depression
years past. Conditions which We're universal
regarded by some as merely local. and much dsappoint
and disheartenme have resulted accordingly We
have ALL however of late recognized the truth that de-
layed has been the period business
here in St Paul but in similar position to the
pie of like communities everywhere throughout the entire
country that would be among the first to realize
the upward tendency in business.
1t is become quite plain that substantial bust
revival has been in for time past and
that all lines of business, wholesale manufacturing and
retail trade advancing day, and the volume of
local business materially increasing.
Transactions in real estate the best test always
But when business activity has prevailed for time
the effect real estate transfers is always made quite
plain An examination Of the advertising columns Of The

The relations of the nation to our own have

larger proportion of patriotic awabidng industrious

1t is ugly commentary the position into which
Republican press and politicians have forced that
this spirit has found local expression here in ST.
The sordid and degraded condition to which
henchmen of imperialism reduced political
and official life in ST Paul will explain the stupid

1t is right that the German citizens of st. Paul

end to the Giseredabe outbreak.
