v-.llssbarre, Oct. 6.-The crisis in
A., coal miners strike seems to be
,roaching. Both sides are playing
+.ofting game, and each imagines it
o. the winning card up it's sleeve.
nh statement of President Maxwell
80 Central Railroad Of New Jersey
,.,.4ardav. in new York, that the COM
Tics have made all the concessions
- uropose to make, bears out the
.r,5iction made Thursday that the
'o,onanies would offer no additional
i,aucements for the men to return to
,.,rj, II is said that the individual
,,erators will all fall in line AMI give
,bair employees the ten per cent. In
crease granted by the big companies
welIknown operator here said
.bara was an understanding at
meeting of representatives of the big
-ompanies and individual operators in
tbfs city last Tuesday that notices OF
tocrease we're not to be posted all at
the same time, but gradually. This
mart of the program has now been car
riod ont. The companies and nearly
all the operators are now in line for
the ten per cent increase. 1t is now
nm to President Mitchell to decide
what he is going to do in the matter
II he delays action, with the idea that
tba operators will make better offre
he is liable to delay the settlement OF
the strike indefinitely An analysis of
tbe ten per cent. increase offered
shows that the average miners wages
will not be increased fully ten per
cent should they return to work, but
if is argued that it is a victory after
all for the strikers, and that If the
United Mine Workers keep their or
panization intact they can compel the
oparators to make further concessions
in years to come.
The first break among the individual
operators of this district was made
Yesterday, when A. Pardee & Co, OPP
Grating the Cranberry and Crystal
Ridge collieries, offered their employees
q ten per cent. net increase in wages
and a reduction in the price of powder
to $3.50 a keg, The decrease in the
price of powder is to be taken into
account in the advancing of wages.
That four more individual mine own
ers will make the same offer is hardly
doubted. 1t was learned yesterday
that before the advance was made
public by the Pardee company, sew
eral general superintendent OF other
individual coal companies were invited
to the Pardee companys Office for the
purpose of giving their views on the
proposed offer. 1t was learned that
the concensus of opinion was that II
the mine owners wish to keep their
c0llcries in operation they will have
to increase the wages of their men.
President Mitchell Of the United
Mine Workers is much interested in
the advance made by the individual
companies, but would say nothing for
publication There is a strong belief
here that Mitchell is waiting for all
the coal companies of the anthracite
region to offer a ten per cent increase
before he will call joint convention
10 consider the proposition. In the
meantime. the men now on strike are
said to number 13S,000, and are not
wmoriug under the proffered Increase
ia wages. In the ackawanna and wy
1m.gg districts not a mine is work

Illustrated by the Ohio Farmer. One
correspondent writes:
. Since the value of corn fodder is more
closely estimated by our farmers, and
hay is becoming more valuable and
somewhat scare and we are feeding
more fodder in our barns during the
winter season than in former years.
various contrivances are brought into
use to make the feeding Of stalks more
convenient. In our hay barns or barns
with managers built to economic space
in the stable room, we find that the
managers are too small to feed stalks
handily. In the first cut is shown a
rack attachment which is much used
and liked in our country. II is made Of

left at A. where grain can be easily
thrown into the feed box. The outer
portion Of the rack is hinged on the
manger, which makes it very conven-
lent to let down and empty refuse
stalks on the barn floor, where they
may be worked out into the manure
yard The fine refuse can be worked
out through the stable for bedding.
This arrangement is very convenient
also to feed hay, and where small man
gers must be used they soon pay for
themselves in the saving Of feed that
is often trampled under foot.

LONDON, June 18.-The Lourenzo

says: 1T appears that Steyn and not
Kruger is now the stumbling block in
the way of the surrender of Burghers.
Shortly after the British entry into
Pretoria, Mr.. Kruger proposed to re-
open the peace negotiations. Mr.. Steyn,
bearing in mind that his former adj
vance was secuted, demurred to this
and pointed out that according to the
treaty between the republics, neither
could conclude peace without the other.
''Mr. Kruger equally unwilling to in
cur the charge Of a breach of faith had
to continue the war. Nothing further
is known regarding the rumored peace
negotiations, but it is q matter Of no.
toriety that Mr.. Kruger favors peace on
almost any terms, but did not Like per-
sonally to take an initiative that would
involve unconditional surrender. Out
