ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
Proper Way to Settle Differences In
Wage Scale.

Scranton, Pa, March 11.--President
John Mitchell Of the United Mine Work
ers Of America, is here. He said last
night that the coal operators offer to
continue the 10 per cent advance in the
miners wages indicates a friendly feel
ing. He hoped that the operators would
show the same disposition regarding
the other question to come before the
HaZelton convention.
I'm my Judgment" said Mr.. Mitchell.
"the proper way to adjust wages and
secure uninterrupted employment is to
have annual conferences between the
operators and the employees as is done
in the soft coal region. There is no
good reason why the operators should
not confer with the organization. Last
fall they claimed the organization did
not represent the miners. That excuse
cannot be put forward now. Practical
ly speaking, every miner in the region
is now enrolled in the organization"

Bioem 'onte:n, March 11.-Gen. De Wet

steadily ,at the rate of twenty --five miles
a day, with a view of crossing the rail-

1t is impossible not to be struck with
the fact that great portion of the FORM

1ica now frankly throw their lot with
the British. Frankfort, kroonstadt and
Bloom eontein companies of eX-burghers
are now bearing arms against the Beers
They state their object is not to operate
against their former comrades, but to
defend their homes and property against
marauding bands. Every town in the
free state occupied by the British Will
soon become a center of Br. ;sf nf1u-
ennce, extending long distance in Their
vicinity. Over $1,000 refugees are aow
within the lines and many of them de-
mand arms and permission to take the
field. If their requests are granted it
will be easy to get 1000 exburghels en-
rolled on the British side.

Fears Uncalled-For Leniency in the

New York, March 1.-THE London cor
respondent of the Tribune says with re-
gard to the reported negotiations be-
tween Lord Kitchener and Gen. Botha
that fears are being expressed lest the
British should be too easy. Already
from Cape Colony comes a strong plea
that the British ministry should refuse
to grant anything which could be con-
sidered terms by the Boers In Great
Britain opinions are divided on the ques-
ton, but undoubtedly the general view is
that the imperial government must re-
fuse to embarrass itself with pledges as
to the future organization of the con-
quered territory.

MINERS WILL

SCALE OF WAGES.
HAVE OTHER GRIEVANCES
MINE WORKERS CONVENTION AT
HAZELTON WILL MAKE
FIRM DEMANDS.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 11.-lie del
egates from this section to the United
Mine Workers convention at HaZletOn
will leave for that city today. The.
convention will be much larger than
the one held in the same town last fall.
Some of the locals will send as high as
ten delegates.
Charles ]. Thain, district organizer,
and delegate to the convention, said
last night he thought the action of the
coal companies in posting notices sig
nifying their Willingness to pay the
present scale Of wages for another year,
wa sonly feeler. The operators, he
said. knew there were other pressing
grievances and he believed they would
adjust these grievances rather than
participate another strike. Grievances
which the delegates from Wyoming val
ley will insist on being brought before
the convention, relate to pay for dead
work and a uniform price for rock
work. Some Of the companies in this
section, it is said. do not pay anything
for dead work, and in the Carbondale
district of the Delaware & Hudson COM
pany better wages are paid for certain
kinds of work than are paid at the
cOllieries operated by the same company
hereabouts.
The leaders of the United Mine Work
ers say until there is a uniform system
all through the anthracite region, there
will be constant friction between en-
ployers and employees, and the only hope
of establishing such system is Coop
Grafton upon the part of the companies.
Mr.. Thain says he does not think there
will be strike, but says if the oper-
ators would meet the miners III Joint
conference all grievances could be set
tied in a few hours.

3 Best Butter In the World.

The butter of Denmark is considered
superior to that of all other countries.
1t brings the highest price in fancy
markets and can be found all over the
world in shops where luxuries are
sold. In South America, South Africa,
in the East and West Indies, in India,
Egypt and in tropical countries gener-
ally it Is used by epicures, who pay 81
a pound for it in tins of one, two and
three pounds weight No other coun-
try has been able to produce butter
that will stand changes Of climate so
well.
Refrigerator ships are now found on
nearly all the big steamship routes,
and they can carry perishables as long
and as far as necessary, but butter
shipped by the ordinary cargo steamer
usually melts and remains in liquid
state as long as it is exposed to the
tropic heat. When it passes into the
temperate zone again, it hardens, and
the change usually spoils it for the
taste, entirely destroying the flavor and
leaving it like ordinary grease or oil.
The Danes, however, produce a butter
which will endure this ordeal without
affecting it's flavor or sweetness, and
they are the only people Of whom this
may be said.-Chicago Herald.

The Inquisitive Antelope.

An antelope is as curious as a wom-
an. If the hunter will lie down In the
grass and wave a red handkerchief, q
band of antelope will keep circling
around until within reasonable distance
for safe shot. After completing a
circle the antelope halt suddenly and
bring down one fore foot with a vigor-
GUS stamp on the ground, and at the
same instant they make sort of snort
that sounds like q half whistle. That
is the propitious moment for peppering
them with rifle balls.
