END OF THE PANA STRIKE.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 3l.-The state
board of arbitration has announced it's
decision In the Pana coal case. The
mining rate is fixed at i04 cents per
ton, run OF mine. This is 0A cents
below the so-called scale price" but
is an advance of 3 cents per ton over
the price paid prior to April /, 1898,
the date OF the commencement of the
suspension at Pana.
The prices fixed for entry work and
day labor are tho same as the prices
fixed for similar labor in the Chicago
and Alton sub-district by the recent
decislsn OF the board. They are an
advance in the prices heretofore paid
ut Pana. Heretofore the miners at
Pan have received nothing for room
turning. The decision provides that
the miners shall be paid for this work,
in addition to the mining price. "a for
the first fifteen feet, il the width be
not less than 0 feet.
This decision was joined in by both
operators and miners. and it is gencr-
ally conceded that the decision rem
dered by the state board If arbitra-
ton will be q settlement of the long
standing trouble at Pana, and that
the union miners will resume work
under its terms within a few days.

NEW VOLUNTEERS NEEDED.
Another Call for Troops Held to
Be Almost Certain.
THE PEACE OUTLOOK GLOOMY.
It IL No Longer u Matter OF War AMI
Diplomacy In Dealing with the In
sursent,. but Plain war-Peace Com
mission Mat Take 70 lack Scat.

WAsUINGToy, May 3i.-The situn.
ton In the Philippine islands, as de.
scribed in recent dispatches, is such
as to make 1t almost necessary to
raise at least u part of the provisional
army authorized by the last Congress
II the United states expects to secure
control OF the archipelago. The I'D.
ministration has been brought Ia
realize that IL Is no longer n matter of
war apd diplomacy In dealing with
the insurgents, but plain war. Diplo-
macy and the peace commission must
tax back seats until the enemy has
been completely whipped and forced
to surrender.
General Otis has not n sufficicnt
number OF men to accomplish this end.
IL Is believed that he has so informed
the war department, but the officials
Will not admit IL. They do admit,
however, that the outlook for an early
peace Is very gloomy and that O
troops arc badly needed in the Phil.
ippines.
Just how to meet this situation is a
question which confronts them and
requires prompt decision. Although
General Otis states that he will con.
'inue an aggressive campaign during
the rainy season, il Is appreciated
that he will be able to do little moro
than garrison some of the points
which the forces under under Generals
MacArthur and Lawton have taken,
and hold them until the rainy season
is over. 1t is also plain that there
Will be more or less illness during
this period Of bad weather and that
when the campaign is resumed tho
force capable Of active warfare will
be materially reduced.
Including the 1000 troops now on
their way or under orders for service
in the Philippines, General Otis will
have only $4,000 regular troops under
his command. With 20, 900 regular
troops in Cuba and Porto Rico, there
Will bc only 1000 regulars left In the
United States. The question, there
fore, hinges on whether 1t will be
prudent to further draw on the
lar forces in the United States in order
to augment General Otis forces in
the Philippines.
Those opposed to organizing a pro-
vlsional army favor sending more reg.
ulars to the Philippines, and also n
listing some OF the peaceful Filipinos.
But another element in tho War de.
partment is opposed to half way
measures in dealing with the situa.
ton. They are urging the President
to issue at once u call for at least 90.
600 OF the provisional army, so that it
may be organized, trained and sent to
the Philippines in time to begin an
aggressive campaign in the early
autumn.

phenomenal hail storm in this city
and surrounding country ut : o'clock
last evening wreaked terrible de-
struction to vegetation and window
lights and injured many people who
were caught in it. The storm came up
suddenly and continued for about five
minutes. In n short time the ground
was covered with hailstones from the
size of a plum to the size of an apple.
The sidewalks in tho residence por-
ton were buried in foliage stripped
from the trees, and in the business
portion with glass from the shattered
windows. Hardly a business block or
residence in the city with a south ex-
posure escaped damage.
Live electric wires and dark streets
made 1t dangerous to venture out.
The guests on the south side of the
Goodlander hotel fed from their rooms
terror stricken. Scores OF drivers and
pedestrians were struck BY immense
stones and injured. Some of them
were knocked down, but none have so
far been reported seriously hurt.
OMAHA, Neb.. May 3l.-Additional
reports show that Sundays storms in
Nebraska were moro widespread and
more destructive than at first re.
ported. Severe hail storms hit five
counties in the south central part of
the state namely, Adams, Clay, Fill
more, Saline and Gage counties.
while in Cedar county, in the ex-
treme northwest part of the state,
a cloudburst did an immense amount
OF damage. In the counties hit by
hail, small grain is nearly all de-
stroycd and fruit ruined, while the
loss in broken glass in houses makes
quite a respectable sum. Farmers
who were hit by the Hamilton count
tornado are destitute aud a relief fund
is being raised for their benefit.
