GOAL MINERS, CONTENTION.
A Claim That the Operators Have No
 Kept Their Agreement.

Hazelton, Pa., Aug. 29.-With the adoption of the report of the commit tee on resolutions the United Mine Workers this afternoon practically fin lshed their work. The convention will adjourn at noon tomorrow.
 The resolutions recommend written instead of verbal agreements with all the coal companies, strict compliance with the present contract, continuation of the card inspection system as now conducted and instruct President Mitchell and the district presidents of confer with the coal companies regard ing card inspection and violation of agreements and to arrange for a joint conference These officers are vested with the power to declare a strike if contracts now in froce are not lived up to.
 The resolutions call attention to the advantage resulting to both miners and operators by a written contract covering the wage rate for a stated period and specifying the conditions of labor. The committee alleges that in- stead of agreeing to the request for a written agreement the various com panies posted notices of an indefinite Character.
 s n many instances the resolutions state that written notices posted and verbal agreements made by superin- tendents with committees have been violated under various pretexts. Elm ployes who derived the benefit of the 10 per cent increase have, it is claimed, been discharged and new men placed in their positions at the old wages.
 The committee states in the resolu- tions that if the miners are required to live up to their agreement then the coal companies should do likewise instead of seeking to destroy the m1ne workers organization by intinidating the men, Hereafter the miners will insist upon a written agreement which shall be signed in joint convention before the present contract expires and they will also insist upon the present working card being continued until the question

Partial Result of the Canvass of tn

Partial Result of the Canvass of the City Yesterday.
 Magnificent has been the response of
 the people to the call for help in say ing the rink property for the boys of New Haven. The results have met the l most sanguine expectations of the com mittee and the amount left to be raised before Sunday is only $17,762, two thou sand more having been raised yester- day. This is too close to the mark, too near success for the people of New Ha- ven to let it fail
 Will not the friends everywhere, those who have given as well as those who have not, come to the rescue, to save this $25,0 property? Only two days remain. MT Foote will positively not extend the time one day. There never has been a finer testimonial to the val ue of the work being done by the Young Mems Christian association. Never a more widespread and general response on the part of the people. Never more uniform courtesy than that exhibited by a great people in great city-the city of New Haven.
 In view of all this, to allow the project to fail now, with this comparatively small amount to raise. would be ca lamity of a more than serious nature and affect not only New Haven, but the country at large! We predict that the people will not let it fail. But friends must act at once. If subscribers who have given and are able to will increase their subscription and those who have not given will make pledges at once the much to be desired result will be ac- Comnlished.

PROFESSOR MICHAEL I. PCPIN.
 upon its recent perfection offered it to the leading telephone and telegraph company of the United States. It's eX- perts thoroughly tested and warmly approved it. The company has agreed to pay Professor Pupin about So00,000 for his invention. as we'll as an annual royalty of about S15,000 during the life of the patents, which is + years.
 To describe accurately the invention would nccesSitate the use of technical language unintelligible by a layman. According to the professor himself, the difficulty hitherto has been to overcome resistance. In the present ocean cables the current has so many obstacles to battle with that it is com paratively slow in travelling and be- comes very weak before 1t reaches it's destination, 5000 miles away. Profess or pupin, after long experiments final ly discovered that the insertion of eight induction coils to every mile of wire would overcome this resistance and messages could be sent over the cable at a much faster rate.
 By this means every time the cur rent begins to slacken it's strength it will meet one of the coils, which will give it renewed impetus until it reach eS the next one, and so on. It is prac- tically a relay method of applying strength. The new system will involve the layin. of new cables at enormous expense. 1t is this feature which is re- tarding the work at present. The new cables will require no greater strength of current or different instruments from those now used.
