Massillon, March 15-The miners of
this district and the operators are hold
ing a joint conference here today. The
miners have shown disposition to not
abide by the Indianapolis convention
and the operators contend that they
will not grant any further concessions
than those of that convention. The
miners say they want the Hooking VAL
ley differential restored, half holiday
Saturday, and q half hour instead OF
one hour at noon, the half hour to be
taken off the afternoon. From all ap-
pearances the operators will refuse the
demand and the chances are that strike
will follow. The situation is regarded
as serious.

INHUMAN HUSBAND.
Massillon, March 15.-Elmer Wagner,
a barber. was arrested by officer Getz
and locked up in the city prison last
evening on charge Of drunk and dis
orderly. Wagner, it is said, has been
driking heavily of late, and was in a
drunken frenzy when he met his former
wife from whom he was divorced some
time ago. The meeting occurred near
the Hotel Conrad and it is alleged Wag-
ner struck a vicious blow at the woman.
Instead of landing on the woman, the
mans fist struck his own child who
was with its mother. The child
screamed and officer Getz, who was
nearby, hurried in the direction of the
trouble. 1t is said that Wagner, in the
presence of the officer, struck the
woman sending her reeling against a
building. The fellow was then promptly
arrested and locked up. He will be ar
raigned before Mayor Wise later.

fend the tactics of the usurping govern

Governor Taylor Has Lost His Head"
after reviewing the general situation, 1t
says:
His calling out the troops to sur
round the executive building after
Goebel was shot, preventing the officers
from hunting the assassin, was a blum
der, criminal In its stupidity, and CIV
ing his enemies occasion to charge that
he was in sympathy with the raurderers
His adjournment of the Legislature to
London was another mistake. His
orders to the soldiers to arrest the
Democratic members of the general as
sembly should never have been issued
Driving the legislators through the
streets OF Frankfort, at the point Of the
bayonet, was an outrage. 1t alleniated
bayonet, was an outrage. 1t alienated
thousands Of Taylor's supporters. II
showed that he was ready to use the
strong arm of the military to gain ar
advantage II confirmed the accusa-
tion that he was q usurper, who has
no respect for the law or the courts
His action In the case OF Secretary OF
State Powers and Captain Davis is In.

cleveland Leader.)

. Governor" Taylor is now pardoning
men accused of completely in the muir
der of Goebel, before they are tried
or even arraigned. He could hardly do
a more foolish thing If he sat up nights
to devise egregious blunders. 1t looks
to much like a frantic desire to pre-
vent the judicial investigation Of that
crime. Taylor no doubt believes his
friends innocent, but that is no excuse
for pardoning them before they go to
trial.

Mr.. Spear desires to thank the singers

in his endeavor to make the occasion a
pleasant one. The selection, ''At the

Exchange OF Gold
For Silver Standard
In India.

In REV of the exchange now being
effected in the standard OF money in
Porto Rico from the silver peso to
the gold dollar, the experience OF
England in India may be interesting:
The gold standard has been esta,
blished in India, not merely in
theory, but in practice, during the
past year. In 1898, when the Ind
ian Currency Commission decided to
put stop to the coinage of silver,
except on Government account, it
was decided that the Government
would receive gold in payment Of
taxes at the rate of 16d, per rupee
-Tl5 rupees equal to the sovereign |,
and would give rupees in exchange
for gold at that rate. This decision
was accepted by the public as a
quasi promise to redeem the rupees
in gold at that rate whenever the
Government should formally adopt
the gold standard. The price of the
rupee in the market, however, fell to
13d., and hoyered around that figure
for long time. After while it
began to rise, although the price of
silver remained stationary or nearly
so, at 273d. per ounce. Last July
the Indian Currency Committee, Of
which Sir Henry Fowler was chair.
man, was able to announce that tho
price Of the rupee had risen without
any artificial supports to 16d., and
that more than So, e2 900, coo 600 Of gold
had flowed into the Indian Treasury
in place Of, or in exchange for,
rupees.
