MINERS AND OPERATORS
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE TWO
FACTIONS STILL UNSETTLED.
Views of an Ohio Operator ON the
Scale Acknowledgements Point
10 q Bitter Fight.

Very few of either the operators or
miners were 10 be seen yesterday. the cold
weather having the effect OF keeping them
within doors. In the case of the operators
only few were in the city, most Of them
having departed for their homes Saturday
afternoon.
The situation, so far as the settlement of
the controversy between the two factions
was concerned. remained the same and
both felt stubborn. Neither side has with
drawn one step from the position adopted
at the time OF holding the various State
meetings Of miners and operators and the
prospects are that there will be a bitter
tight before any concessions are granted
on either side. Several days ago a promi-
nent operator said he believed the matter
would ultimately be settled on the basis of
an advance OF twelve and one-half cents
ton with all other conditions the same as
at present Since then every movement has
been In the direction of ignoring all refer
ence TO the seven cents fiat differential de-
manded by the miners for machine mining.
With regard to the use of screens, H.
u. Chairman, an Ohio operator who Is a
member OF the scale committee. said yes
terday: 1.-THE run OF the mine system is
unjust as IL gives the miner the opportunity
TO shovel in unlimited quantities of dirt.
Moreover 1t enables men to secure pay for
practically no work at all. II is simply
. matter of blowing down the coal and
shoveling it on the cars: While under.
ordinary conditions IL makes hardly any
difference whether miners are paid for
screened coal or run OF mine coal as the
price in either case Is one in which the
dirt Is taken into account, but IL Is unde-
siraele that the run OF mine system be
adopted as IL is a source OF unending worry
to the operators. Men will load up cars
lfre emit raf oil frrn-
this requires a constant fight on the part
of the operators to keep the coal somewhat
clean. 1t Is plain that one side must give
in and the operators will not pay the price
demanded for unscreened coal"
Another operator said IL was always the
policy OF the miners to ask for about twice
as much as they expected TO receive and
that, I'm this case. IL was safe to suppose
that the scale adopted would be consider
ably less than the present figures of the
miners.

For 20 years DR.. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health Yigor, usefulness and happiness than
any ten other doctors in the country combined.
DR.. Hathaway treats and cures by method
entirely his own, discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him, Loss of
Vitality, Varicocele Structure, Blood Poisoning
In its different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
of Kidney Troubles His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient strong, well, vigorous man.
DIR. Hathaway's success in the treatment of
Varicocele and Structure without the aid of knife
or cautery is phenomenal. The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an oper-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton of sufferers from Varicocele and Structure to
pages q, %, o. 80 and 81 of his new book.
Every case taken by DR.. Hathaway is specially
treated according to its nature, all under his gem
eral personal pervision, and all remedesused by
him are prepared from the pureStand beStdrugS in
his own laboratories under his personal oversight.
Dr. Hathaway makes no charge for conSulta-
ton or advice either at his Office or by mail and
when a case is taken the one low fee covers all
cost of medicines and professional services. =
DIR. Hathaway always prefers, when it is possi-
BILE, to have his patients call on him for at least
one interview, but this is not essential, he has
cured scores of thousands of patients in all sec
tons of the world whom he has never seen. His
System of Home Treatment is so perfected that
as though the patient called daily at his Office.

SETTLING WITH CHINA.

The Chinese trouble seems to be
passing into negotiations for indemni-
ties and Investigations with respect to
the ringleaders in the murderous
attacks upon the legations, who are to
be marked for punishment. From the
various propositions exchanged by the
powers as to the order of procedure
will finally be evolved practical set
Element. The adjustment and payment
of the indemnities sure to be exacted
will present difficulties of detail, and
if territorial surrenders be asked by
any of the powers a clash of European
interests may arise which will compIi-
cate matters. Aside from the none
tary indemnifcation and guarantees
for the future safety of our legation at
Pekin, we are interested in keeping the
door open for American trade where
ever there are trading concessions
made or to be made to the European
powers.
The process of fixing indemnit1es and
devising ways and means for their pay
ment by China without raising the
customs duties to an almost prohibit
tive level and retard1ng commercial
prosperity will take some time. Ger

tent some other European countries,

the British interests which could be
named on the stock exchange would

probably close to 95OO, 100000, The
debt of the Chinese government last
year was between $3.50, 900, 600 and
100000, 600. The maritime customs

polite for Hanna to take the leading

BUSINESS wOMAN's TRIALS,

The woman who isn't business wo
man has more regard for the time of
her friend, who is, than she has for
her own. She'll come into the bust
ness woman's Office looking as dainty
and sweet as possible, and ask, ''Am I
disturbing your" with an anxious lit
tie air that leads the other to believe
she is really afraid of lntruding, and
then she'll sit down and talk about
nothing for an hour, just as if she
hadn't been told ten minutes were all
that she could have in which to chat
ter.
The expedients employed by the wo-
men who work to dislodge such visit
ors are many. One young person looks
at clock conspicuously placed in her
office until the eyes of the idle one
follow hers and rest upon it. Then the
latter says hastily and in somewhat
grieved tones: CHOW, you needn't keep
looking at the time; I'm going di-
rectly." But she doesn't. The chances
are she remains until her worried host
announces that she has business en-
gagement she must keep at once. Even
then the glrl who tolls not does't al
ways obey the Shakespearian advice:
'Staud not upon the order of your go
ing, but go at once, but stops at the
door to say parting words, and again
at the elevator until her companions
patience is completely exhausted.
The woman of leisure, as rule, re-
sents it bitterly if she is told outright
that her friends time is valuable, and
is therefore not lightly to be thrown
away in gossip during business hours.
She feels dreadfully snubbed when a
plain truth of this sort is told her, and
so the business woman who wishes to
retain the good will of her acqua1nt-
ances usually resorts to diplomacy to
rid herself of them when she's busy.
She pleads engagements by the score,
she keeps her hat on large part of
the time, so that she can declare she
was just starting out on an important
mission when a caller approaches; she
insists that her neighbors in the build
ing object to conversations, however
airy; she has signs begging her friends
not to visit her at her Office placed IN
conspicuous places, and she's been
known to wreck the Office boys con-
science BY inducing him to tell visitors
she's not IN, when she is.
All these expedients, however, fail in
the ease of feminine acquaintance of
long standing. They see the signs, but
they don't think they are intended for
them. They hear the Office boys ex-
cuses, but they brush him aside I'M
tremendously and with an 'I-know-
she's-in- and WILDE glad to-see- me, :"
founce into the sanctum with beaming
smiles.
The average business woman prays
to be delivered from her friends. From
book agents and enemies she can de-
liver herself or the Office boy can de-
liver her, but from the consequences OF
bland, self-satisfed, impertubable, mo-
nopollstic friendship providence alone
can save her.-Baltimore News.

Revival of the Carlist Agitation Causes
Grave Apprehensions.

MADRID, Oct. 15.-The Spanish gov
eminent is greatly concerned at the revi-

cry of depot of arms at Lerlda, Cata-
Iona, where 165 Remington and 400
bayonets and an important collection of
machinery and tools for the manufac-

that the discomfort in CATALONIA forms
