THE EVANSVILLE STRIKE
CONFERENCES HELD YESTERDAY IN
THE GOVERNORS OFFICE.
They Came to Naught, as the Sunny.
side Mine Operator Refused
to Arbitrate.

A conference was yesterday held between
Governor Mount, v. D. Houston, president
of the Sunnyside mine, at Evansville: John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers Of America; Thomas Davis, vice
president of the same organization; Deputy
Prosecuting Attorney Edgar Durra and
Labor Commissioners Mccormick and
Schmid, relative to the situation at Evans
vile. Two meetings were held, but at
neither was satisfactory arrangement
reached. The officials Of the Mine Workers
said they would be willing to submit all diff
ferences to arbitration. the arbitration
board to consist of the Governor and the
labor commissioners or to commission to
consist of the labor commissioners and the
Judge of the circuit in which Evansville is
located.
This was not satisfactory to Mr.. Houston,
who said that he would not recognize the
union under any circumstances and he did
not believe he should be called on to arbi-
trate the questions under those circum-
stances. He held that he owned the mine
and that his money was invested In 1t and
that he should have control Of the opera
ton of the mine. Consequently the confer
ence was without fruit Mr.. Houston said
he would close his mine indefinitely before
he would recognize the union. Governor
Mount impressed on him the fact that he
would not tolerate any outbreaks, and that
importation of labor would be regarded as
menace TO the State.
So far as other alarming reports from
Evansville are concerned the state officials
know nothing of the situation other than
tina. given in the papers. Governor Mount
will confer with the authorities of Evans
Vile this morning and If deemed best will
send the labor commissioners there this
evening.

EPWORTH LEAGUE MAIL.
Postmaster Hess Dissatisfied with the
Arrangements.

Postmaster Hess is not satisfied with the
manner in which the mail of the Epworth
Leaguers was handled. Probably about
fifty pieces of mail are left on hand I'M
delivered, and this is not satisfactory to
the postmaster. Some arrangement should
have been made by the general committee"
said Mr. Hess yesterday. regarding the de-
livery Of mail. So far as I could learn,
no arrangement was made as to mall and
we have fully fifty pieces of mail for the
leaguers that we DO not know what to do
with. When the K. P's were here we had
but four pieces left, and at that time there
were fully three times as many here as
were here during the Epworth League. The
service was not satisfactory to me, and
could not have been to the leaguers al
though l believe it was the best that could
have been given under the circumstances +"
On Thursday the sales OF postal cards in
lots Of from one to five were the largest
OF any day in the history of the office
Mr.. Hess had all special delivery boys,
all carriers and all special men, as well as
one man hired at his personal expense, to
try TO locate those for whom mail was in
tended. bat in spite of these efforts all were
not supplied. The pieces remaining will be
sent to the dead-letter Office.

II was temperance day at Bethany yes
terday. The superior qualities Of water as
q drink compared with all other beverages
was the theme from prayer meeting at sun
rise until the bell rang lights out at night.
1t also rained, and rained hard. The sum-
ner girl at the hotel seemed to think 1t
peculiar coincidence that ''bucketfuls OF
water" should come down out of the sky
on a day devoted TO the discussion Of tenn
perance. It was really a blessing to the
park, for everything was as dry as finder
and the grass and trees were getting brown.
1t made the little boys get out and wade

meeting defeat in legislation because they
are G.yided, while the liquor men are
thoroughly organized. The Anti-saloon
League seeks to bring about a union of the
temperance forces The stereopticon views
displayed by Mr.. Helt in the evening at
tracted the interest OF the camp. The eff
fects of alcohol on the individual were por-
trayed with much realism, and one slide
represented a woman in delirium tremens.
The homes of the brewer and the saloon pa
iron were shown side by side and the career
OF an Arabian immigrant, from the time
he landed until his downfall. was told in
pictures. Mr.. Helt said the seventy-five
views displayed were all taken from life.

entered a plea of guilty and Williams OF not
guilty. Both were bound over in the sum Of

Lieut. Monro tapped the rebel wire, tele-

About Nov. % word came that the siege
of Kimberley appeared 10 be slackening, that
of Cronjc'S men. 5000, had marched away
to the south; that the railway line was re-
paired to point six miles north of Gras Pan
and the telegraph was reopened to within
eight miles Of Modder River, or 33 miles
from Kimberley.
On Nov. % it was learned that dispatches
of Nov. "a from Ladysmith reported all is

A Berlin paper published this dispatch Of
Nov. 27:
President Kruger and President Steyn
have instructed Gen. Joubert and Gen:
Cronje not to split their forces into small
detachmeuts, but to strike vigorous blows.
Gen. Joubert has three corps, one holding
Ladysmibh. the second commanding the
Tugela. and the third east of Estcourt, in
order to cut off the British retreat Gen.
Cronje's forces are divided into three con-
tingentS, one at Kimberley, another at
Modder River, and the third in the rear of
Gen. Methuen."
Gen. Pole-Carew was successful in get
ting small party across the river, gallantly
assisted by 300 sappers."
There was no doubt that Methuen had
gained an advantage of great importance,
but the casualties were awaited with even
more anxiety than attended the receipt Of
the first news Of other engagements, as Gen.
Methuen also described it as one Of the
hardest and most trying fights in the
annals of the British army. The victory
undoubtedly cleared another stage Of the
road to Kimberley, the siege of which
Cronje must have partially raised to meet
Methuen, and it was stated that he had
been present at the Enslin or Gras Pan
fight, too. Reinforcements were said to be

had now marched 53 miles and fought
three battles within seven days.
The people at Kimberley, it was reported
on Nov. 20, had made a sortie on Saturday
morning, Nov. %, in an unsuccessful
attempt to go to Methuen's assistance.
