CHEYENNE, Wy, Dec. IA week
ago 600 miners employed in tho mines
of the Diamondville Coal and Coke
company at Diamondville, wy, struck
for an increase in wages. Their de-

and after = short shut down, operations
were resumed with q small force of
non-union men. At an early hour Sun
day morning mob of 800 women and
girls, armed with guns, knives, clubs
and stones, marched on the mines and
compelled the guards to fee. The
miners at work were dragged from the
mines and also driven away. Several
were injured by being struck with clubs
and one man Was shot at, presumably
by one of the number of strikers con-
cealed near the mines. The small
force of deputies guarding the property
of the company was powerless. It is
expected there will be more trouble
when the company attempts to resume.
The miners have been importing arms

The great strength that the
Southern Democratic states
have in the Republican national
conventions has always caused
dissatisfaction and sometimes
scandals in the nominating
conventions. The reform in the
manner of apportionment has
been advocated for years, but as
there have been rivals for the
nomination in every convention
for over twenty years, a change
i'll apportionment could not be
made without apparently pref
udicing the interests of some of
the candidates, and the commit
teemen from the Southern states
were able by proper combina-
tons. to retain the old system.
But next year all Republicans
will favor President McKinley's
denomination, and the committee
will be able to decide the basis
of representation regardless of
any fractional combinations.
The plan suggested by Mr..
Payne is SO evidently fair and
desirable that it's adoption may

NAr1O NAL CONVENTION REPRESEN-
TATION.

It is possible that a new basis
of represent alton will be adopted
for the next Republican national
convention by the national com
mittee which meets in Washing
ton next week. In the past
each state had two delegates
for each congressional district,
and four at large, giving the
states two delegates for. each
senator and congressman, re.
gardless of the number of Re
publican votes in the states.
Henry G. Payne, the committee
man from Wisconsin, and the vice
chairman of the national organ
ization, recently made public a
different plan that he will urge
before the committee. His plan
provides for a representation
based largely on the Republican
vote. Each state is to have
four delegates at large, as now,
but additional delegates will be
apportioned on the size of the
Republican vote, and the sug.-
gestion is one delegate for each
10000 Republican votes. This
would reduce the size Of the
delegates from the strong Dem
ocratic states, and increase the
delegates from the strong Re
publican states. TO indicate

be expected. It provides for a
total of 1915 delegates, or just
one more than would be pro-
vided by the usual custom.
The change would accomplish
a good result in increasing the
influence of Republican states
in a Republican convention, and
it would have a further effect in
the composition of the conven-
tions, by practically solidifying
the vote of each state. At
present as each congressional
district has two delegates, these
are selected by congressional
district conventions, and the
delegates receive their elections
and instructions from the dis
trict they represent. Different
districts in the same state will
favor different candidates for
president. Each district is
directly represented in the con-
vention. In the next. conven-
ton this will not affect the
results. or he imnOrtant as
Mckinley will get every vote,
but the energetic fights that
have been made against the
"unit rule" in national conven-
tons have shown how high was
valued the right of district in
dependence. But the new plan
ignores congressional districts,
and the delegates are given to
