furnace mouth. 1t is, therefore, Of
immediate consequence that the
10000 striking operatives and the
operators Of the Pennsylvania coal
mines agree on system Of weighing
the coal. on the method Of buying the
powder. and on the standard Of wages
to be paid the miners. The operators
have acceded TO raise Of ten per
cent 10 wages. The operatives de-
mand.a twenty per cent raise. But
the principal demands OF the strikers
are in regard to grievances. The
grievances relate to the company
stores. the company doctors and
butchers, the practice Of dockage. and
most particularly, the high price
paid for powder. The powder used in
the mines the men are compelled to
buy Of the companies. 1t costs the
companies only ninety cents keg.
and the men are made to pay 1915
keg for it. The expense of this, added
to the losses the miners suffer by rea-
son of dockage and the company
stores, reduces wages in many cases
to not more than twenty dollars a
month. The mine-operators claim
that the strike is not occasiCned by
any OF the causes enumerated by the
workers, but is ordered by the United
Mine Workers arbitrarily to the end Of
establishing the authority of the
union for political purposes. An offic.
ial statement contradicting this has
been given out from headquarters
of the Mine Workers Union, which
recites the efforts made by the union
to adjust their differences by peace
able means. and to submit the whole
question to arbitration. These efforts
failing, the strike was reluctantly
ordered as last resort. to the end of
securing justice to the workers.

The Chinese Situation.
Those who know the most about
the Chinese affair confess that they
know nothing. II the generals and
diplomats are making progress, it is
at the rate of glacier. The only way
to be positively sure we are moving is
to measure the situation with that of
three months ago. The result will be
decided by the powers who are dis
cussing China, its relation to them
selves and their relation to each other,
with China between them, as though
they had Chinese leisure to argue
it. Russia and France has informed
our state department that through
concurrent action they will withdraw
from Pekin. NJ. de Giers. The Russian
minister, and M. Pichon, the French
minister, are consulting as to TIE
most favorable time for this with
drawal, and French. and Russian
troops will move simultaneously. The
intention is not TO evacuate China,
but only to leave Pekin. The troops
will await at Tien Isien the re-estab-
lishment of the Chinese imperial gov
eminent at Pekin. General Chaffee's
orders are to leave Pekin also. 1t is
evident that Ii Hung Chang still

sum was reduced to $4,000. The sum
would not have been raised had it not
been for Susan b. Anthony, who, on

still lacking, gave $1,000 herself and
raised 5000 by personal subscriptions

would have been better spent on a

times. The University OF Rochester

Matrimony and College Wome.

Miss Mary Roberts, associate pro-

tics 10 regard to the tendency and op-
portunities of college women to get
married. that may interest few old
dodgers who insist that higher educa-
tion is depriving women OF the desire
to marry, and depriving her Of the
charm which makes men want to
marry her. According TO DR.. Roberts.
college women marry better than the
uneducated and have more children,
a higher percentage of whom are
males. and there is no difference be-
tween the two classes in regard to
their Cwn health, or the health and
mortality of their children.
