They Refuse to Make Public the Re-
suit of the Session.

The scale committee of the operators
met in the Century Club rooms at the Deni-
son last night and for several hours pom
dered over the questions that will no doubt
come up at the joint session to-day. ]. 8.
Morton, of Ohio, was selected chairman
and F. s. Brooks. also of Ohio, was chosen
secretary. When the meeting finally ad-
journed. about IL o'clock, one of the opera
tors said that not one Of the resolutions
presented on the wage scale or any of the
other questions had been adopted by the
committee. He further said the committee
would have to hold another meeting before
going into the joint session to-day. But
this operators story of the doings of the
executive session of the committee does
not agree in any particular with the story
told by one Of the leading operators who
is a member of the committee and heard
all the discussion that came up during the
session. The latter said the operators will
go into the joint convention fully prepared
to meet any demands that may be made by
the miners. He said he did not believe the
miners would make any demands at the
meeting to be held this morning and 1T is
likely there will be nothing done on the
scale question.
1t has been rumored that the miners will
hold out for an advance of 20 cents, but
the operators say this would be an exorbi-
tant increase and could not be paid by the
operators. One prominent operator said
last night that the operators are willing to
make reasonable concessions to the miners,
but an advance of 20 cents is out of the
question. The operators, 1t is believed,
would be willing to stand an advance of 10
cents, but this is not given out officially.
After the meeting of the committee last
night those present absolutely refused to
give anything out for publication. One of
the members of the committee said the
operators would be willing for the news
papers to have a report of the proceedings
but to give out what they are willing to do
en- the scale question would be like a
prize-fghter telling his opponent that in a
certain round he would hit him on the jaw.
The operators predict there will be some
little trouble in arriving at conclusion at
the joint convention.
At the meeting of the operators yester-
day afternoon A L. Sweet. of Chicago, was
selected chairman and c. l.. Scroggs, sec
rotary. A committee composed Of s. NJ
Delzell. Chicago. r. S. Tenant, Clinton,
Ind, +. l.. Robbins, Pittsburg, and J. s.
Morton, OF Columbus, o., was appointed to
pass on the question of seating operators
attending the convention from other States
than Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illi-
nois, In the convention and extend to them
a voice In the proceedings. This committee
did not arrive at any conclusion and the
question will be decided at the joint con-
yention. fIt

Art Museum Location.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1t is gratifying to know that the people
living north of Fall creek have awakened
to the Importance of trying, to secure the
Fairbank site for the museum by making
an inducement in the way Of contributions,
giving those who have been active In driv-
ing out the saloons an opportunity of show
ing how deep is their desire, as well as that
of all property owners and well wishers,
for the future welfare of the venture. To
the majority of citizens this site is clearly
the one most suitable for the building. 1t
is permanently adequate in size, and &C.
cupies a distinctive location which cannot
be found elsewhere. The name of Capitol
avenue was given to the broad boulevard
bounding ii on the west because ii led
directly from the Capitol building to the
extreme northern limit of the city. Wis
itors to the museum, standing at the west
entrance, could see the. Capitol rising ma
jestically at the end of the avenue in per-
spective outline, faithfully Identifying it
self with this street which is its own name
sake, though honored by no other public
buildings. Who shall say that Capitol
avenue north is not, in truth, the finest
part of the city, and do not as many not
able persons reside there as elsewhere?
Illinois street, the eastern boundary, is the
principal northern outlet by street-car from
Union Station TO the parks. In no other
place can so fine a distant view be obtained
from all directions, the graceful slope from
the imposing bluff and the living stream Of
water are inestimable attractions. An ar
tificial cave which has been excavated in
the bank leading back TO the building is
a novel feature and could be made a great
attraction by converting Ii into yeritable
cavern where ices and cooling refresh
ments could be obtained during the heated
season. Metropolitan cities are fast re-
moving to larger quarters. and while some
still cling TO downtown location nearly
all are unanimous in the eternal fitness"

HEALTH BOARD MEETS
AND TAKES MEASURES TO FIGHT
THE SPREAD OF SMALLPOX.
DIR. Hurty's Action II Endorsed by the
Board-New Cases I'm Different
Parts Of the State.

The State Board of Health was in ses-
sion all day yesterday discussing the
smallpox situation. DR.. Hurry, secretary
of the board, gave the other members of
the board an account of the action taken
by himself in behalf of the board, dating
from the time of the first outbreak in Clay
City. The board Endorsed everything done
by DR.. Hurry and then called upon Gov
ernor Mount to ask his approval Of the
immediate purchase of vaccine virus, to be
paid for out of the state contagious dis
ease fund, which in case of need is to be
distributed to the local health boards OF
the various counties in which the disease
is raging.
The Governor gave his consent and
urged the board to do everything within it's
power to prevent the further spread Of
smallpox. The board also passed a num-
Der of general orders which will endow
DR.. Hurry, In case of need. with the light
to command the assistance of the county
health boards. Heretofore he could only
implore the people to protect themselves,
as it required general order of the State
Board before action could be compelled of
the county boards.
Seven new cases of smallpox have been
reported from Clay City since yesterday
morning, but considering the many cases

is being maintained and every road lead
ing into the town is guarded to keep peo-
pie from either entering or leaving. The
feeling of indignation against DR.. Hurry
seems to have subsidized, as the president
of the Clay County Medical Society. DR..
Felix Thornton, made a special call on the
State Board of Health yesterday for the
purpose of expressing his approval of the
work done by the State Board Of Health in
Clay county.
DR.. c. L. Ferguson. who was sent by
Governor Mount to investigate q suspected
case of smallpox at Morton, small town
in Putnam county, yesterday, returned last
night and said he visited the home of Thos.
Nelson In company with DR.. G..
w. Bence, secretary of the Coun-
ty Board of Health, where they
discovered that Frank Nelson. aged
eighteen years. had smallpox. The local
officers Immediately established a quaran-
tine. and every available physician has
been kept busy with patients who want to
be vaccinated.
DR.. A. w. Brayton, who was sent to
Miami county to investigate some reported
cases of smallpox, returned last night with
the report that the disease there was moth
ing more than chicken-pox.

There are still few new cases OF the So
called smallpox, but they are very mild
and there are no serious cases. There is
one case at the home of Willard Nichols

quarantined and guarded. The Friends

great excitement or fear.

such vexatious proportions that IL ended
IN all delegates drawing transportation
and the result was that the treasury lost
1880 IL should have retained.
Hardly had the matter been presented
TO the convention when amendments began
20 pour in from all parts of the room. The
delegates from the small locals understood
the resolution to be an attempt to practi-
caily disfranchise the small locals and
bitter fight began.
One side asked that the resolution be
amended so as to include all locals within
ten miles Of each other and this brought
on greater storm than before
A LONG WRANGLE.
Finally a motion was adopted TO pay
the railroad fares OF all delegates to the
1900 convention, but this action was recon-
sidered when it was shown that the yea
and nay vote by which Ii was taken did
not reflect the real sentiment of the miners
inasmuch as only one delegate who only
cast one vote could make much noise
as delegate who cast five votes.
Then arguments began thick and fast
as to whether the resolution meant that
the locals which have 500 members could
send five delegates TO the. convention and
draw railroad fare for each one. In the
midst of the confusion President Mitchell
took the floor and explained the position
Of the committee and the desire that some
definition of the term isolated local. be
given. 1T is true" he said, that you
have large sum of money in the treasury.
but / wish to warn you that you have no
more than you may need and that IT is not
desirable that such sums as were paid out
in Pittsburg for transportation be paid out
again.. Finally the matter was referred
back to the committee.
A resolution was adopted providing that
no member of the organization shall be
eligible to serve as delegate to the ma
tional, state or sub-district conventions
unless he be a miner or mine employe.
This resolution was in order 10 allow
former members of the organization who
were compelled to go into other lines of
business TO retain their Connection, which
right under the old constitutional provi-
sion, ended with his service as a miner.

CRONJE, THE TYPICAL
DUTCHMAN.

Cronje was sixty-five years old
when he was surrounded. He has been
prominent in all the history Of the
South African Republic as statesman
and soldier. He refused like Joubert.
to take office under the British annexa-
ton of 1877. He was prominent in
the war Of 1SS0-Sl Since then he had
become farmer on a large scale, own
ing over twelve thousand acres near
Pretoria, which he ruled with military
simplicity and with marked success.
He kept hospitable house, and with
his quiet little wife entertained his
friends. He was member of the
Transvaal executive government, and
when the war 9 outwas second
only Joubert in military position. All
the foreigners who saw him speak Of
his pleasant manners, his courage, and
his independence. The English writer's
have given numerous descriptions of
him since the war began. Mr.. j. B.
Robinson said oi him that he ''has in
him the best blood Of Europe. When
the edict of Nantes drove the finest
subjects of France into exile, many of
them went to Holland and from there
on to Africa. Picture to yourself a
little man, quiet-looking, at first glance
almost insignificant. When you first
come in contact with him you might,
for a moment or two, be inclined to
dismiss him as very ordinary man !;
but few words from him show you,
by their grasp, their decisiveness, that
first impressions are wrong. AS you
look longer at him the type of the face
seems familiar, and in flash it comes
to you that this is the kind Of head
that is seen in the paintings of the old
Dutch masters.-From "The Military
Leaders of the Boers,'' in the american
Monthly Revieus Of Reriews May.
