BIG MINE STRIFE IS ON.
DiSScrs in Western Arkansas and Okla
homa Out to a Man.

Little Rock, Ark. March 1.-Reports
from the coal mining district in western
Arkansas u. Indicate that IN wholesale
valkout Of the miners has begun. and
that the biggest strike of recent years
in the southwest is on. Both operators
and miners refuse to hudge an iuch
from the positions they have assumed.
and there is absolutely no prospect of u
settlement in the near future. At the
mines of the Choctaw. Oklahoma. and
Gulf railroad in the territory. the LOO
union miners heretofore employed are
out. and their places are being filled as
near as possible by 200 nOn-union men.
The contest promises 20 be a lOng
and stubborn one. and nothing but the
advent Of warm weather will lessen the
severity of the strike or the general
public as regards an inevitable coal
famine. The strike is largely a sym
pathetic one, but by most of the miners
IL is a welcome finish fight to determine
the merit of the complaints they have
long preferred against the operators.
and upon what they have appealed to
the Arkansas Legislature for relief in

POPE Is MUCH IMPROVED.
Successfully Undergoes the Operation for
the Removal OF the Cyst.

Rome, March 1.-The pope passed
a fairly good night, and was better
this morning. DIR. MazZini at $50
this morning removed the cyst from
the left thigh of the pontiff. The op-
Grafton was perfectly successful. The
pope bore it well. 1t appears that
Yesterdays feverish symptoms were
entirely due to the cyst, from which
the pope has long suffered. He now
has no trace of fever. DR.. Mazzini
thinks no complications will ensue.
The pOpe's physicians issued the
following: His holiness at 10 this
morning underwent an operation for
the removal of a long standing cyst,
which suddenly broke and inflamed.
His holiness bore the operation re-
markably well, although it was i'm
possible to use chloroform. The
poPe's condition is now fairly salts
