GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
Prospective Commercial Treaty Be-
tween the Two Powers.

BERLIN, Nov 20-While the Gear
was at Potsdam recently the general
lines of a prospective commercial
treaty between Germany and Russia
were reached. Emperor William, the
Car, DR.. Won Miguel and M. DeWitte
discussed the situation, including the
financial crisis in Russia. The latter
was largely due to the numberless in
dustrial enterprises, especially in iron,
started under the Russian high tariff
policy, being obliged to curtail their
output, owing to insufficient coal sup
plies from the South Russian mines.
When the workshops closed for lack
of coal prices rose enormously, and the
Minister of Finance M. DeWitte, there
fore arbitrarily fixed the price of rail-
road materials required by the railroads
at about 80 per cent. below the price
demanded. AS many enterprises were
started expressly to supply the ST.
berian railroad, the result was disas-
trous.
The German and Russian Govern
ments take a grave view of the situa-
ton, but in Berlin financial circles the
crisis is only regarded as temporary.
Therefore, in view of the Cars en-
phatic declaration at Potsdam in favor
of M. DeWitte's peace policy, and be-
lieved baselessness of the reports of the
Russian advance in Afghanistan and
Persia, they are inclined to further
Russia's financial and Industrial ex-
pansion, on the ground that they will
thus be subscribing to their own inter-
ests, in drawing apart Russia and
France, and in Tightening Russia's
powers of purchasing German products.

COAL MINERS TROUBLES.
U1timatum Issued by President
Mitchell.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20-President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America said that indications are
that he will order a strike of all union
miners employed by the Susquehanna
Coal Company of Nanticoke, Pa, and
those working for the Missouri Pacific,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, and Cot
ton Belt and Iron Mountain roads in
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and else
where in the Southwest.
Last Saturday evening he addressed
a formal letter to Marion Williams,
General Manager of the Susquehanna
Coal Company, stating that the labor
troubles of the union miners employed
by the company must be settled at once
President Mitchell demands that the
company either treat with its own en-
ployes or the representatives of the
United Mine Workers. The trouble is
not over a wage scale, but grew out of
an order making the miners round up
their boxes with COAL
Two of the Southwestern companies
to whom kilograms were sent have
replied, declining a conference. They
are the Southwestern Fuel and I'm
provement Company and the Missouri
PACING Fuel Company of ST. Louis
In answer to these replies, President
Mitchell telegraphed: 1.-The Executive
Board instructs me to say that unless
a conference is agreed to and fair
terms of settlement accepted, all mines
on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
Cotton Belt and Iron Mountain en-
ploying union labor will be shut down"
President Mitchell says: 1--WE will
not finch from our position. The an
thracite fields of Pennsylvania employ
about 100000 men, and our strike, if
ordered, will affect about $4,000 or
20,0OO men, or over 10 per cent. The
effect will be widespread, owing to the
unusual demands for anthracite fuel
everywhere. The Pennsylvania railroad
people will be hit a hard blow, and 1
cannot say how many others will be
affected. The Southwestern strike
would bring out about 1900 men,
will give the Susquehanna people time
enough to answer my letter"
President Mitchell this afternoon de-
clded to hold a conference at ST. Louis
Thursday with the union coal opera
tors of the Belleville Qnd) district, for
the purpose of cutting off all shipments
of fuel by them to the railroad COM
panies involved in the contemplated
Southwestern strike

EAGAN'S CASE
BEING CONSIDERED

Washington, Jan. 16.-In answer to a
direct question, Secretary .hlger, at the
close of The official lay, said that the
war department had taken no action in
the case of Commissary General Eagan,
but when the inquiry was pursued he de-
clined to say one word as to his inten-
tcns in the matter. 1t was apparent
during the day that this matter was re-
ceiving attention. and, in fact, the COM
missary general himself spent some time
closeted with the secretary.
Three distinct lines of action We're
talked of as within the line of probabil-
ity The first was a strong letter Of rep
rimand, to be addressed by the president
himself to General Eagan, stating that
burt for the immunity he had promised
all eye witnesses before the commission,
he would have court-martialed him. The
second line was an actual court-martlal,
while the third was a court of inquiry: >:
The purpose of the latter would be, it was
said, to place upon a military tribunal
the responsibility for deciding whether or
not General Eagan should be tried by
court martial. Of course, the court of
inquiry might go a long way into the
matter which led UP to the attack con-
tanned in General Eagans statement,
possibly involving a determination as to
the correctness of the charges touching
the character of the army beef preferred
by General Miles, though this would ap-
pear to be appointing a second tribunal
to investigate the methods and results
of the first organized already on that
work.
1t was stated that General Miles would
not prefer charges against General
Eagan for the utterances delivered by
him before the war investigating COM
mission last Friday, but intends to let
the war depa rtment deal with the matter
in it's own way. Touching these charges,
it is said that there is really no absolute
necessity that any one shall follow them,
although the Judge advocate general of
the war department will be called upon
to put them in shape if it should be de-
cided to order a court martial.
1t is suggested that the war investi-
eating commission had deprived itself of
the power to make out a real legal pre-
sentiment against General Eagan, if it
was so disposed, by returning the Objec-
tionable paper to him. So far as is
known, the statement delivered last Fri
day is not now in the hands of the COM
mission, and the judge advocate, who
would prosecute General Eagan in case
Of court-martial, might be under the
necessity of taking secondary evidence
in the shape of newspaper publications
of his statements, all of which are ad-
mittedly nothing more than abstracts
Perhaps this fact would not have much
weight with a court-martial, but in ordi-
nary legal practice would place the pros
ecution at very great disadvantage.

HaVana'S Police Force

Havana, Jan. 16.-Gen Menocal and SUI
perintendent McCullagh aree xamining
today 300 applicants for positions on the
police force here. About 80 patrolmen
have been accepted so far and of this
number 80 are Spaniards. Menocal is
acting fairly toward the Spanish can
didates. If physically and morally up to
the standard they are accepted. Some
former Spanish officers are among the
applicants. Two lieutenants accepted
appointments as patrolmen on Saturday
last. The height required, five feet six
inches, shuts out many applicants, in
Guiding a lot of Menocal's men. The force
will be selected in the main by the end
of the week. The weakest part of the
system is the pay. Fifty dollars month
for patrolmen is regarded as too little
money for high class honest men. San
Juan de Porto Rico pays SIS per month
The question of revising the pay of patrol
men here to that figure is under discus
sion.
The first piles were driven today for the
construction of the United States pier al

LATE AFFAIRS IN CUBA

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: The Cubans
are preparing q protest against the Span
ish bank of Cuba collecting the taxes.
The impression still prevails among them
that the bank is to collect the taxes to
January /. which were levied under Span
ish sovereignty. In the absence of an
official statement to the contrary both
Spaniards and Cubans believe that the
bank will attempt to make these collec-
tons and secure it's percentage. The agi-
tation is pronounced.
The Cuban assembly of the insurgent
army is to reconvene Tuesday at Mari
anao. It's sessions We're adjourned in De-
cember to await the result of the work OF
the commission which went to Washlng-
ton, headed by CaliXto Garcia. The pur-
pose of that commission was to urge that
the United States make an advance to
pay the insurgents and compensate itself
out of the prospective customs receipts.
Word has come from Washington that
some such arrangement will be made but
! on what authorities is not known. The
I Cuban assembly processes ability to dis
band the insurgent army and secure the
return of the insurgents to their homes
in the country if portion of their pay
is advanced. Public sentiment fayors the
proposition as a means of early tranquil
ity. The Spanish merchants want it in or
der to end uncertainty. The assembly
also intends to ask the presence of Gen
MaXinO Gomez to advise with regard tc
these and other matters. A boycott is
raging among the Havana newspapers
The Cuban journals are trying to ous'
the former organ of Spanish opinion. Fol
this purpose they get meetings called te
denounce their rivals. The affair is not
of much consequence except to the news
papers concerned in it. Not much has
yet been done toward the establishment
of the Havana naval station and Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Allen will have
a chance to look into the details. The
proposition of establishing a smaller sta
ton at Nipe, on the north coast in the
eastern part of the island is also under
consideration.

STEAD.

A young man Of ST. Anthony Park, a
suburb OF ST. Paul. Mimi, was engaged
to Minneapolis girl. On the evening be-
fore the wedding he presented himself at
the brides home to talk over their plans
for the future. He was met at the door
by the sister of the ride-to-be, who
broke to him the news that hrs betrothed
had disappeared.
Two days before she had gone away,
taking her wedding dress with her. She
had decided that marriage was going to
be q failure and had backed out. For
few moments the young man was too
completely taken back to even talk. The
sister attempted to cheer him up, and
gradually ne became aware that she
was a pretty and sensible young woman
herself.
Just what was said is not related but
the next morning there was a wedding
on schedule time, and the only difference
beteew the invitations and the announce
ments was that the first name of the bride
was not the same The wedding trip
came of as arranged. and 1T was not until
the couple returned that the young mans
friends discovered that there had been
a change.
