GRIEVANCES OF MINERS.
Gallup Miners Organize and a Strike is
Anticipated.

The miners strike at Gallup has not
yet materialized. The meeting for or-
ganization held last Sunday afternoon
was secret, and nothing has been given
out by the miners or their leaders. Il
seems sure, however, that an organiZa
ton will be effected, and the probability
is that at an early day a grievance
committee will lay before the coal conf
panies the claims Of the miners.
There has beer considerable agitation
for months concerning. the matter of or
ganization and strike. The miners
grievances center in the matter of
weights, powder, oil and scrip payment.
Throughout the district the miners fill
a long ton for a short ton, and their
claim is that a dockage much in excess
of this standard agreement IS made ny
the companies. For this reas,l they are
DESTROYS of securing the privilege of
employing weighers who shall have the
use of the scale house with the coal
companies weighers, and see that cur
rect weights are registered. There Is a
disposition On the part of some Ct the
miners to ask for an in ,reose in the
price per ton, but as the rae of ton
mage is about as high as in any district
in the west, the question will be thor
oughly debated before the demand for
increase OF this point is presented. The
miners also claim that the charges for
powder and oil, the former in partic-
ular, are too high. -Four dollars per key
for powder~is the established rice. and
$1.20 per gallon for miners oi!. There
is a very strong nucleus of unior min
ers there, and it seems certain that they
will bring the majority of the mlnel S
into the organization. The men are
guarding at this time the standing Of
affairs, but the next week will probably
disclose positive action on their part.
The companies anticipate a strike.

HOMEWARD BOUND.
Governor 0tero'and;Judge Mcmillan Leave
WASHINGTON,

A dispatch from Washington in the
Sunday papers says: Gov. Otero, wko
has, with a number of New Mexico
politicians, been attending the Wash
ington centennial celebration, has left
for home, accompanied by Daniel II.
Mcmillan, the newly appointed associ-
ate justice of the territory.
Governor Otero says that there is no
chance for securing statehood for Now
Mexico at this session of congress, bit
is encouraged to believe that it will be
granted by the ~fifty-seventh congress.
In January he will, with the approval
of the territorial council, appoint a non
partisan committee of fourteen prcrli-
nent New Mexico citizens, of which ha,
ex-officio, will be chairman, to work fol
statehood. The last election eliminated
the race issue from New Mexican poll
tics, and removed the only objection
that has been urged against statehood.
Delegate-elect B. S. Rodey, accom-
panied the New Mexico party, and Wis
tied the various departments in the in
terest of his constituents, with Govern
or Otero. Mr.. Rodey anticipates Sc eur
ing statehood in the next congress.

Fearful Conditions IN Hines Coun-
ty, Miss. Dying so Fast That
Coffins Can Not be Secured.

Jackson, Miss, March An
official report made to the Hines
county board of supervisors this
morning reveals an appalling state
of affairs in the southern part of
the county. The community is
literally huneycombed with small
poX of the most violent and loath>
some form.
During the past six weeks
there have been nearly one hum
dred deaths. Some days there
were so many that it was impossi-
bile to secure coffins and rude
baskets were made from rails.
Whole families are wiped out.
The board will make an effort to
check the further spread of the
disease.

WORSE THAN THEINFERNO
Actual Scenes More Horrible

sick troops withdrawal to new
quarters says the scenes on the

exceed in horror those depicted in
Dante's Inferno. Dead men and
animals are lying mutlIated and
purified in the trenches formerly
occupied by the Beers. They
