while the authority of the court must be

action Of the German consul and the Ger

house, is based upon the fact that the Ber-
lin treaty provides that the president shall
exercise the functions of chief Justice in
case of vacancy, and it is probably claimed
that the action of Chief Justice Chambers

WILL BE NO STRIKE.
Miners and Operators Will Agree on
"A Satisfactory Scale.

PITTSBURG, Jan. H-There will be no
strike of the bituminous coal miners Of
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana during next
year. 1t can be stated tonight on the most
reliable authority that the scale committee
will report on Monday conditions which will
be perfectly satisfactory to the three States
mentioned above. The miners of Illinois are
the only obstructonists to the report which
will call for rate for mining of Sc cents
per ton, double standard system as to run
of-mine and screens, and eight hours for a
days work. The interstate convention on
Monday will in all probability adopt the re-
port of the scale committee as here given
and should Illinois not be satisfied she Will
have to either endure or secede from the IN
terstate agreement. The only contention of
the Illinois men is that the run-Of-mine
shall be the standard for basing wages. The
other States will under no circumstances
agree to this.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Dr. P. T. Cham
bers. of this city, a brother of Chief Justice
Chambers, of Samoa, in an interview last
night said that the Germans greatly out
number all of the other foreign residents
in Samoa, and that they are undoubtedly

Germany seeks by every means at hand
to get control of the commerce of the ISL

interests to the island of Page Page which
we now hold as a naval cOaling station.
She would retain Apia for herself and rele-
gate England to third island, which is
larger, but not so rich as that on which
Apia is located. BY that means Germany
would be at all times, if successful in car
rying out this plan, in direct touch with
the government, which would be located at
Apia, and, no matter what form il might
be, would undoubtedly control IT. The COM
mercial interests, being centered there, also
would just as certainly be controlled by
her, to the detriment of her English and
American competitors. The other two DOW

would not accede TO it. The protective gov

the assistance Of his staff of able physi-

years, for many thousands of women. DR..
Pierce is pre- eminently a sympathetic ply

in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because OF the
weak delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health so long as that care required the
repugnaut examinations and " local
treatments insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailing cure for the most complicated

women. This wonderful medicine cures in

with the necessity for obnoxious local
