Miners VIII Not Resume Work.

President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, on the 21st expressed
himself as being of the opinion that
the men will not resume operations as
soon as the mine owners expected. He
says that some of the big companies
have been breaking faith by not living
up to the agreement promised on the
18th. Furthermore, he said: Il want
TO say that when the Scranton con-
vention accepted the 10 per cent ad-
vance in wages providing the opera
tors abolished the sliding scale and
guaranteed the payment of the advance
until April /, the miners had met the
operators more than half way. They
had shown a conciliatory spirit and
know of no good reason why the prop
osition should not have been accepted
by the operators.

kruger VIII GO to France.

Mr.. Kruger has postponed his de-
parture until Oct 90, and he will now
land at Marseilles, France. The an
nouncement that he is going there will
probably prove disagreeable surprise
to the French ministry, who had tried
to persuade him to land elsewhere.
Kruger is such hero in France that
NJ. Delcasse, the minister for foreign
affairs, did not wish to add to the anti
English demonstration that is expected
to find expression in the chambers
which is to convene Nov. 6, by having
Kruger in the country. 1t is the fear
of the ministry that the people will be
so demonstrative that offense will be
given to Great Britain.

Prnfessor Recomes Pa.tor.

The Congregatlonalist says: The
call of Prof. Edward Cummings, OF
Harvard University, to the pastorate
OF the South Congregational church,
Boston, over which DR.. Edward Ever
EFT Hale has ministered SO many years,
Is of more than usual significance, in
that il implies that he will give up pro-
fessional ambitions at Harvard and
prefer the pastorste, and in that it will
be a notable instance of man coming
to the Christian ministry without much
OF the conventional training for the
profession, but who, on the other hand,
is unusually well equipped for the dis
cussion OF the ethical and sociological
problems OF the day.

Japan's Cabinet has Resigned.

The resignation of the japanese cab
met and the probable coming into
power of Marquis Ito is the theme of
the hour in that country. The change
came as a surprise, although ii was
deemed inevitable in the not distant
future. 1t was doubtless unwelcome
TO Marquis Ito himself, who has by no
means yet got his new party in proper
trim for harmonious and successful
work. Although the latter is well or
ganized, it is made up of many incon-
gruous and warning elements, and
early trouble is predicted for it, espec-
tally in the view of distribution of of
ficers before it is brought under any
sort of discipline. Marquis Ito is the
only man to whom the country can
turn in this emergency, as has been
the case for many years past, when
ever an important crisis has arisin.
a significant feature of the present
case is to be found in the fact that the
marquis is not credited with strong
pro- Russian tendencies.
