500 Miners Insist on Demand for 30 Cents
a Ton

Cumberland. Nd, May 9-The 500
miners who met at Midland yesterday
afternoon adopted resolutions in favor
of continuing the strike until the COM
paHies accede to their demands for 80
cents a ton. The Koontz miners met
last evening, and after discussing the
situation notified the mine bosses that
under the existing circumstances they
deemed it best not to attempt 10 re-
sumo work today, as had been their
intention. A man named Mullin has
been arrested charged with assaulting
William Kenney, at the Klondike mine,
yesterday. It is supposed that he was
also the assailant of Davidson, who
was badly beaten at Ocean mine.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Jan. 11.-Today's stock
market was characterized by considera-
BILE speculative activity ON the part of the
bear contingent. The raid, however. was
restricted to Il small number of stocks
all among the Specialties, including the
older high priced industrials There was
Dositiye decentralization in these active
stocks i'm contrast to the fairly firm UNI
dertone of the general list and especially
the railroads. The attack ON the Indus
trials was due to the attitude of the
President of the American Sugar Rein
ing Company. Other stocks We're marked
up briskly at the opening in face of the
violent break in American Sugar, but
the bears met this manoeuvre with such
confident heavy selling that the Special
ties crlrmbled in price and fell through
storm of dislodged stop loss orders. Even
the railroad list was affected at last ana
earlier gains generally wiped out Inc

LAYTON AND LOGAN.
Their Bodies to He brought En- on
Special Trnin.

Quartermaster General Ludingtou, Of the
War Department, has arranged for the
transportation of the bodies of General
Lawton and Major Logan. which are ex-
pected to arrive at San Francisco from
Manila in few days. Colonel Long. the
quartermaster in charge at San Francisco,
autographed General Ludiugton yesterday
as follows
Stubs has placed at the disposal of
Mrs. LawtOn and General Shafter one dou-
BILE and drawing room car, and for Mrs.
Logan a similar car. without cost VIII
also furnish Government one composite
car for remains, TO be paid for at the
rate OF 49, for each day absent from San
Francisco. The route will be as follows:
Central. Union Pacific and Northwestern
to Chicago: thence Baltimore and Ohio via
Youngstown to Washington. These ar
rangements perfectly satisfactory to Gen.
eral Shsfter and Major Tucker (represe at
ing Mrs Lawton). Cars leave here on No
s. night train. il is thought as special sec
ton. and will continue over each route
the same to Chicago. thence by special
Train TO Washington. Will notify you later
date Of arrival Of transport and departure
OF funeral party and final details of ar
rangements."
The remains of Major Logan will be In
TERED at Youngstown. Ohio. Mrs Logan,
his mother, has left Washington and gone
to Chicago, where she will meet the train
bearing the remains of her son and accom-
pany them to Youngstown

TO add to the quantity of stolen goods. A
search of the houses in which they lived
revealed costly trinkets in every crack and
crevice, jewe'ry and other articles in such
number that many of them could be of no
possible use in the adornment of the per-
SONS who had stolen them.
The children of these women are to be
pitied Beginning life under such aus
pices. what is to be expected OF them?
Their disgrace will cling 10 them like
Nemesis and. unless there is extraordinary
inherent good in them which does not seem
possible under the circumstances. their
whole life has been darkened. Having been
taught TO steal it will be more than diff
cult for them to pursue the honest path
of toll. They are comparatively blameless.
but their futures have been deliberately
wrecked.
As has been remarked. the Yale socio-
logical department will find a fruitful sub
ject in this shopllfting case. II is TO be
hoped that something will be learned by
a careful analysis which may be of ad
vantage in preventing a repetition of such
deplorabie examples of utter disregard of
parental responsibility

THE BOARD NOT UNANIMOUS.
4 Divisi.,n of Opinion With Respect
to the Holland.

Rear Admirals Charles O'Neil. George
W. Melville. r. b. Bradford. and Comman-
der Richardson Clover. the four members
of the Naval Board of Construction. have
submitted to Secretary Long their reasons
for opposing the purchase OF the sub
marine boat Holland
Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn. the fifth
member OF the board has submitted
minority report. in which ne favOrs the
purchase OF the boat
The majority report opposes the purchase
or the Holland because the Holland Tor
per0 boat Company is delinquent in the
case of the submarine boat Plunger hav-
ing drawn 500 7i6.5e in part payment for
the Plunger and never having completed
her, nor does she appear TO he likely TO be
completed very soon. If the company fin
ishes the Plunger according to contract,
the report says. the Navy Department
would be warranted in entering into con-
tract with the company for another sub
marine boat.
The report says that criticism Of the
Holland is purposely refrained from. as
they have no desire to discuss the merits
Of submarine boats
Regarding the proposition of the Holland
Company to build two submarine boats
for tl65, 900 or $780, each the majority
report says that Il Will be better TO have
only ore of the boats built. as they can
only he regarded as experiments.
Admiral Hichborn. who submits the
minority report. says that he does not
think the majority report gives sufficient
credit and encouragement to the Holland
Company. He says the delay on the
Plunger is caused by the companys de-
sire to improve 1t In many ways. He says
the Immediate possession of the Holland
is very desirable and believes the con-
tracts for two new boats OF the improved
Holland style should be entered into by the
Navy Department with the Holland Com
many
