Dr. George w. Calvin of the Elmer.

the recent meeting Of the Twentie tn
Century club of that city his purpose
to establish in the different cities of
this country cooperative hospitals
which shall be owned and maintained
by the different wage-earners' associa-
tons. The wealthy are enabled to sum-
mon the best medical attendance
money can procure, he says, but those
who compose the great army of wage
earners are placed in an exceedingly
trying position in times of illness If
they have succeeded in saving a little
money it is soon gone and the very
knowledge that it is rapidly disappear
ing tends to retard recovery. AS nine

mitted to the governor yesterday, shows
that he is as industrious and enthusi-
astic as ever in the work which is his

opera just the same and looks down on
her better dressed sisters. That is, she
sits higher, up. She hears as well, sees
as well and usually pays more attention
to the stage; also, she is not judged as

caused by some persons who had de-

locks which are used to hold the switch
in place had been broken and could not
be found. A dense fog that hung over
the city made it impossible for the en-
gineer to see the signals and he had no

News was received here that the Do

gagged in an effort to locate the interna-

through the Mt. Baker mining district,
in Whatcom county, have abandoned
their work and left the country. Ac-
cording to their field notes the line
passes two miles south of where it has
always been supposed to have run.
while their scientific observations
place the 49th parallel, which is the
boundary line. within quarter of a
mile of where it has always been sup
posed to have been. Should the field
notes stand, number of American
mining claims will be on the Canadian
side. The matter will undoubtedly be
made the subject of negotiations be-

UP TO OPERATORS.
COUNTER PROPOSITION FROM THE
SCRANTON CONVENTION.

Musr Abolish Sliding Scale and Sign for
Six Months--Order the Strike Continued
Until Proposition is Accepted--Arbitra-
tion is Suggested. sf HtiliIB
Hazleton, Pa, Oct 15.-The fndiyid-
ual operators who could be seen here
yesterday declined to discuss the ac-
ton taken by the anthracite miners
at Scranton Saturday. The convention
decided to accept the 10 per cent net
increase in wages offered by the mine
owners, providing they will continue
the payment of the advance until next
April, and will abolish the sliding
scale. II the operators consider the
proposition unacceptable the miners
are willing to arbitrate. the questions
at issue. They also decided to con-
time the strike until the operators
agree to the conventions proposition.
1t is evident from their reticence
that the individual mine owners are
waiting to see what the large coal car
rying railroads that mine coal will do
1t is reported in the coal region that
the presidents of these roads will hold
a conference in New. York today for
discussion of the action of the conyen-
ton.
There was story .afloat that the op-
orators will accept the conventions de-
cision, but nothing has come to the
surface in this region on which to base
the report is
The United Mine Workers officials
say they are now again waiting on the
operators, and they will continue to
close up the colleries that have been i'll
operation since the strike began, four
weeks ago. There are many reports in
circulation that if the strike contin-
ues much longer break in the ranks
of the idle men will occur.
President Mitchell and his assistants.
however, assert their confidence that
the men, both union and non-union.{
will remain away from the mine until
after the strike is declared off.
There is d fear prevalent in this re
gion that if some of the men do return
to work trouble would probably arise
through efforts of the strikers to per-
suade the men to remain on strike.
All the colleries that are working still
remain heavily guarded.
