PANA DECISION REJECTED.
Illinois Arbitration Board Did Not Recos-
nize the Union Sufficiently.

Pana, IIls.. May 31.-The official an
nouncement of the state arbitration
boards decision in the Pana union min J..
ers' and operators differences, on being
made known here yesterday was re-
ceived with hearty approval by the op-
orators. but treated with disgust by un-
ion miners. In fact, they hooted at the
presumption of the boards dictation
that they would resume work with ne
gro and white non-union miners. How
ever they agreed 10 accept the price
of 3OA cents as named by the board,
claiming that as the only point they
were called on TO determine. At a mass
meeting of the union miners at the new
Grand theatre yesterday afternoon, ad-
dressed by State President Horace Ca
lff of the state board Of arbitration
and State Secretary and Treasurer w
d. Ryan, of the United Mine Workers
of America. President Califf read the
boards decision and advised the miners
TO accept it.
Secretary Ryan told the miners that
they could use their own pleasure. add
ing that they could remain out fourteen
years if they wished. and should be cared
for until the operators came to terms.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
accepting the arbitration boards de-
oision relative TO price. providing that
the mine owners recognized the union
and employed only union miners. The
miners say the strike il as far from set
tied as it was fourteen months ago.

DIPLOMATS WHO DIFFER.
Canadian View of Who Is to Blame in the
Alaskan Trouble.

Ottawa, Ont, May 31.-The statement
telegraphed from Washington that aft
er the United States and Great Britain
had agreed practically on a scheme of
arbitration Canada intervened with i'm
possible conditions has caused a sensa-
tIon here. Canada's demands, as stated
from Washington, were that Pyramid
harbor was in any case to go to Canada,
together with strip of Lynn canal
which would extend back to Canadian
territory.
This statement is explicitly denied in
official quarters. 1t is asserted that Can
ada. in suggesting as compromise por-
tion of Lynn canal. attached no condi-
tions. II is further claimed that when
the official CORES spondence is published
it Will show this to be the case, and that
T.; was the United States that attached
conditions as to exemption OF territory
from arbitration.
In the house Monday night Sir Wilfrid
Laurier. the premier, replying to ques-
tion relative to the Alaskan boundary
question. said that Canada s position to-
day was exactly what il was when The
commission adjourned. He said that
Canada 5 construction Of the treaty of
1875 would give British territory a num-
Der Of seaports. whi.a9ne American con-
tention was that the treaty included all
sea ports in United States territory. He
added: we proposed arbitration on the
Venezuelan precedent. That proposition
was ours. and ii was not coupled with
any other condition.

terry. The tribute was peculiarly ap-
propriate. representing the north and
the south grasping the Union flag.
When the matter was laid before the
