of Miners Demands
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept 28-General
superintendents of all the mines assem-
bled at II o'clock today and were in
session at 3 o'clock. They refuse to give
out information, but it leaks out that
they have agreed to an increase of
wages and reduction in the price of
po wder, equal to an increase OF IS to 20
per cent for the miner. They, also,
guarantee certain number of days work
each month and meet every demand of
President Mitchell. These concessions
will be wired to the managers at New
York tonight.
New York, Sept. 28-In New York
yesterday everything indicated near
settlement of the miners strike in the
anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania
A dispatch from Baltimore last night
said that Cardinal Gibbons had accepted
the position Of arbitrator. Republican
national campaign leaders asserted post.
lively that Senator Hanna's labors with
the operators had induced them to agree
to concessions which would bring the
men back to work by Monday at the
latest. Senator Hanna's work was done
at conferences in the financial district
which we're attended by Senators Quay
and Penrose, Platt of New York and
representatives of coal companies and
individual operators. The plan of the
settlement was to advance the wages of
the miners 10 per cent, but not to recog.
nize the union.
In the coal regions the strike leaders
we're instructed by President Mitchell
not to pay any attention to reports that
operators had made concessions in the
wage scale and would attempt to induce
the miners to 20 to work. He ordered
that under no consideration should work
be resumed unless authorized by con-
vention representing all mine workers
in the anthracite field. The explanation
was made that to settle the strike the
demands of the union must be granted,
even though the union we're not recog-
nized. Recognition of the union was
not necessary on the part of the operators
unless they wanted to operate.
The strikers again made important ac-
cessions to their ranks. Strikers at South
Wilkesbarre attempted to wreck train
carrying non.union men.

AMALGAMATION OF BANKS.
Two Vast New York Institutions to
Be Merged Into One.

New York, Jan. 10.-The Herald to-
morrow will say:
Rumors that have been current in the
city for some time past of the amalga-
nation into one vast institution of the
National Bank of Commerce and the
National Union bank crystallized last
evening into definite report that GER
tain obstacles in the way of the con-
solidation had been overcome and that
the union. in the very near future, was
an assured fact.
The report was definite enough to
specify that President Joseph c. Hen
dirk of the National Union bank would
become president of the consolidation
institution and that the capital of the
concern would be SO, ,000,0 900.
Every opportunity was given to lead
ing officials of the two banks to affirm
or deny the report, but all who were
seen or communicated with declined to
discuss the subject. Officials of other
prominent banks of the city stated that
they had heard of the negotiations be-
tween the two banks, and believed that
a consolidation was imminent, though
they could give no details.
Joseph c. Hendrix declined to make
any statement. John Clafiin, a direc-
tor of the Bank of Commerce, said he
must refuse to discuss the report in any
way, and George G. Havin, a director
in both banks. to whom the report was
submitted. replied: Il can say nothing
upon the subject"

BITTER AT AMERICA.
Cuban Press and Delegates Make
1nfiammatory Remarks.

Santiago De Cuba, Jan 1O.-Generals
Rabi, Miro, Lara and Castro were re-
ceived on their arrival Monday from
Havana with great enthusiasm More
than 5000 persons met them at the
wharf. Tuesday they attended recep-
tions at the Cuban clubs and last even
ing a large crowd gathered in the Plaza
to hear speeches detailing the result of
the conferences with General Wood.
General Miro criticised the governor
general but said he had faith in Presi-
dent Mckinley.
General Castro, in an incendiary
speech, advised the Cubans to prepare,
if necessary, to renew the struggle
against new and stronger enemy.
General Rabi, on the other hand, said
he had confidence in the purpose of the
intervening power to establish an inde-
pendent Cuban republic.
All four of the returning delegates
on being interviewed, said that the ap-
pointment of General Wood there was
fresh ground for hoping that the in
dependence of Cuba would soon be at
tained.
The local press today, particularly
the Cubano Libre, is very violent, ad-
vecating a "stiff policy" The Cubano
Libre says:
"All Cubans are ready to shed the
last drop of blood to expel the intrud-
ers''

HUNTINGTON SURRENDERs
Withdraws His Opposition to the
Nicaragua Canal

Washington. Jan. 1O.-The California
delegation is jubilant over the intel
ligence which has come to them that
Coils P. Huntington has withdrawn
his opposition to the digging of the
Nicaragua canal.
According to report, Mr.. Huntington
has come to the conclusion that his
interests will benefit more than they
will suffer from the construction of the
interoceanic waterway.
While he is still Of the opinion that
the opening of the canal will affect the
long hauls of the Southern Pacific road
injuriously, Mr.. Huntington believes
that the development of the Pacific
coast will be such that the Southern
Pacific will gain as much in short hauls
as it will lose in long hauls
Besides, Mr.. Huntington is the prin-
cipal owner of the Pacific mail steam
ship line and of some of the finest
wharfs on the Pacific coast, all of which
property will be greatly enhanced by
the opening of the canal
The Californians consider the with
drawal of Mr.. Huntington's opposition
the biggest boom which the canal could
receive at this time.

MRS. GOODwIN's FIGHT.
Has Judgment Against Santa Fe
but Can Not Collect

Judge Hook has dismissed the suit of
Mrs. Allie May Goodwin, of Usage
county, against the Santa Fe. This is
an old suit which has been pending in
three different courts during the past
six or eight years. 1t is a suit for
damages, and was first tried in the
Usage county district court, where it
was originally brought. A verdict was
returned for the plaintiff and the Santa
Fe appealed the case to the supreme
court, and it was sent back for a new
trial On the second trial in Usage
county another verdict was returned
giving the plaintiff $1,000 damages. 1t
was taken to the supreme court again,
the decision of the lower court was af-
firmed.
But Mrs. Goodwin could not get her
money even then, for in the meantime
the Santa Fe had gone into the hands
of receivers. Captain Waters, Mrs.
Goodwin's attorney, filed another suit
in the Usage county court to compel
the railroad company to settle the judg-
ment. The defendant had this case re-
moved to the federal court on the
ground the railroad was in the federal
court in its receiverShip. Judge Hook
refused to remand the case to the
Usage county court, and dismissed it
without prejudice.
Mrs. Goodwin was formerly Mrs
Henry and her husband was an engi-
neer on the Santa F'e. One day while
he WaS'running freight train up a lit
tie branch road out in Ellsworth coun-
ty, his engine struck a self binder which
was standing on the track. The en-
gine was thrown from the track, and
Mr.. Henry, the engineer, was KILLED.
The place where the accident oc-
Cured was where prairie road cross
ed the track. A farmer had tried to
cross the track with his binder but the
crossing was only made wide enough
for wagons, and the binder stuck on the
track. The fapmer went for assist
ance, and while he was gone, Henry's
train came around the curve and lifted
the binder off the track, the engine fol-
lowing it.
Mrs. Henry's suit against the railroad
company was based on negligence in
allowing such a narrow crossing to re-
main on a public road. While it has
been pending she has married again
and is now Mrs Goodwin.
Judge Hook in dismissing the suit
decided that a suit in state court was
not the proper manner of collecting the
judgment as long as the road was in
the hands of receivers. The claim will
have to be filed in the federal court.

TOO MUCH HONEY.
Pals on the Palate.

A man ate heaping saucer of Grape
Nuts every morning because they
tasted so good"
In about ten days he began to turn
against the food, and finally lost the
pleasure Of his favorite dish altogether.
The same thing happens to a child
who eats too much honey or candy. or
any other good thing. The system gets
more than it needs and nature revolts.
in order to prevent further over-feed-
ing. Grape-Nuts furnish a condensed
food, and when eaten in moderation
give one a delicious dish every morning
that is looked forward to with pleas
ant anticipation. When not more than
three heaping teaspoons are used at a
meal, the system quickly absorbs all of
the nutriment, and the person discovers
this fact by his improved feeling of
health and strength. Use Grape Nuts
steadily but avoid excess.
