its last session that the revenue to be

LORD SALISBURY'S
FRANK ADDRESS
APPEALED TO COMMON SENSE
The Samoan Matter Settled to the
Satisfaction Of the Three Inter-
ested Nations.

NEW YORK. Nov. lO.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Lord Salisbury is always rhlegmatic
and extensively practical on great oc-
casions when the empire is fairly hang
ing upon his words. There was not a
trace Of emotion or excitement in his
speech last night at the Guild Hall
banquet where and Lord wolseley were
received like conquering heroes.
He began with Samoa as quietly as
though he were describing a bargain
in trade, and pointed out that Germany
was especially interested in the terri
tory there and had got what she want
ed, whereas England did not need a
poor harbor like Apia, but a good one
like that in Tonga.
From the sentious comment that
England's relations with Samoa were
all that could be desired, he passed to
an equally practical discussion Of the
war. He intended that the lack Of
troops in South Africa was not due to
want Of action. since an uItimatum
would have come earlier if the troops
had been increased earlier.
He described the real cause Of hostil-
tiles as fhe Unfortunate arrangements
Of 1881, by when a community admit
tedly hostile was allowed 20 accumu-
late munitions Of war. The object Of
English warfare, he asserted, was
neither gold nor territory but equal
rights for all men, and the issue of thu
conflict would be good government in
South Africa.
The prime minister's speech was re.
markable for the coolness and lack Of
sensiblity with which supreme ques.
tions of diplomacy and war were
summed up; yet It was powerful an(
subtle appeal to every day Engllsf
common sense and reasonableness. /

All doubt has been removed regard
ing the practieability of the enterprise

MINERS STRIKE.
Operators Have Been Sending Coal to
BOycotted District.


CHICAGO, Nov. lO.-The Record to-.
day said:
The situation in the coal mining
fields in the southern and western sec
tions OF Illinois has taken a serious
turn, and it is said that many n the
mines may be tied up within the next
forty-eight hours as a result OF the
continued action Of operators In send
ing coal to points west and southwest
where the miners are on a strike. The
United Mine Workers Union has been
engaged in strikes in the Indian Terri
tory, Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa, in
mines, the product Of which is con-
sumed for the most part by the Gould
system Of railroads.
Recently 1t was discovered that coal
was being shipped from the Belevllle
district in this state to supply the
wants OF the railroads. and the officers
Of the miners union entered a protest
which was accompanied by threat 10
strike unless the practice was discon-
tinued. President Hefty, OF the Belle
vile district. wired John Mitchell,
president Of th- United Mine Workers
Union, asking ~ instructions and re-
celving a reply which said that If
positive evidence was at hand that the
operators were still snding coal into
districts where strikes were in pro-
gress, the men should be called out Of
the mines which were producing the
coal.
President Mitchell arrived in Chicago
yesterday. He said last night that the
situa tion was most serious and that the
uniCn would certainly carry out its
ultimatum to strike II any more coal left
the state to supply the railroads in the
southwest. During the day he received
ar urgent telegram from President
Iefty asking hin TO 50 to East ST..
Louis and Mr.. Mitchell replied that he
would start as soon as ne had finished
some business in indianapolis.
Mr.. Mitchell said:
THE miners have been careful in
dealing with this situation and have
done everything in their power to avoid
rupture. The strikes in the south
west were called to enforce our wage
scale and the men in Illinois insist that
their labor shall not be used to defeat
their brothers in the other states.
instructed President Hefty to order a
strike Of he miners working for opara-
tors who insist in supplying he rail

Of the Pacific.
The importance Of Pango- -Pango as a
coaling and naval station has greatly
lncreasd since the occupation OF Ma
Mia. America now has a naval base
which can be strongly fortified and q
good haven, Of which the fun advan-
tage may be taken In the development
of the trade of the South Seas. The
state department has also increased
American prestige by asking for Eu-
roPean guarantees for the open door
principle in the far East and is credit
ed with having obtained a favorable
answer from Germany.
The settlemen. Of the Samoan aues-
ton has created an area Of good feeling
between America on the one side and
beth England and Germany on the
other and has left the United States
in full possession of everything for
which 1t could. reasonably have asked.
Germany has carried OFF the prize for
which she has been long struggling in
the South Pacific and has not paid
heavily for il either in tina; quarter or
in Zanzibar or in West Africa. The
disclosure Of this series Of transfers Of
territory and jurisdiction enables the
German emperor to claim the credit of
having mads a good bargain with Eng
land without exciting American resent
ment and iustifes his journey to Wind
sor in war time, where he Will be re-
ceived like a faithful ally. England's
interest in Samoa was mainly senti-
mental and centered in memories Of

Schley for Nicaragua Canal

Chattanooga, Tenn, Nov. IA
correspondent of the Huntsville Mer-
curry while at Birmingham talked with
Admiral Schley and asked him if he
thought the building of the Nicaragua
canal would be an adv antage TO the
United States. Admiral Schley is
quoted as,saying:
81 consider it imperative that the
canal be built at once. 1t would ena-
bic us to mobilize our fleets on either
coast on short notice and would facil-
itate our defense in case Of war and
render the American navy invincaole.
And then it would open up the way
to the orient where ready market
can be found for our cotton, iron and
