STRIKE is AvERTED.
Hard Coal Miners Decide to Remain at
Work.

The threatened strike of the l43, 900
miners in the hard coal region will not
take place. At a meeting of the exec
utive committee of the mine workers
of the three districts held recently it
was decided that the men should con-
tinue work. This committee was given
arbitrary power by the general conven-
tion of miners held at Hazleton in the
fore part of the month to declare
strike il the circumstances warranted
it. In the opinion of the committee,
in lengthy address and which was
prepared by Mr.. Mitchell himself, the
circumstances did not warrant "a strike
at this time.
Mr.. Mitchell made an address at the
session of the committee, which was
conservative in the extreme. He spoke
of his visit to New York and his efforts
to secure interviews with the presi-
dents of the roads. He said all the
concessions asked for had not been
granted, but the outlook for the future
was bright, and it was his opinion that
the day was not far distant when the
operators of the anthracite region
would see that it was to their advant-
age to meet their miners in joint con
ference.

The war department has received m
formation from General Macarthur
that Aguinaldo has taken the oath of
allegiance To the United states under
the tcrris of amnesty Offered General

DEADLOCK ON CLAIMS.
Legislature wrangles over Disputed Ae-
counts In Claims Bni.

counts In Claims Biii.
Sunday was spent by the legisl ature
wrangling over few items in the mis-
cellaneous claims bill A delay of this
kind was unknown To the oldest legis-
lator. The two houses failed to agree
on many items but when evening came
only three items aggregating s5,l57
remained unsettled. The two houses
were still in deadlock over these items
at 1890 when the senate demanded
that the ellis be returned, This was
made with the threat to kill the dntire
bill. This demand the house declined
to obey. The senate declined to pay
the disputed claims and the house in
sisted on payment. A new conference
committee had been appointed by the
senate, but the house insisted on re-
tanning the committee.
1--WE intend to stay week rather
than allow unjust claims" was Sena-
phatically.
1T is customary for claimants to tire
out the Legislature, said senator Mar-
tin, but let us show them that they
cannot do So"
The items in dispute included two
relating to the services of appointees
of the governor at expositions. Mr..
and Mrs. Bostrom who attended the
Atlanta exposition presented claim
for SAT-. J. j. Butler who went to the
Tennessee exposition asked for $50.
Miss Laura B. Taylor had been allowed
$4,000 by the conference committee in
payment of salary due her father, who
served as state weighmaster at Omaha
several years ago. 1t was alleged that
the fees of the officers were not sufii-
cient to pay the salary named in the
statute. On the other side the argu-
ment was used that the weighmaster
was required to depend on fees, the
the salary being limited to certain
| amount.
At midnight an agreement was
reached. Miss Taylor was allowed
81, 900 and the claims of Butler and
| Bostrom were cut out.

Lves-Other Inn mportant News.

Interest in the capture and fate of
Agunaldo is well nigh overshadowed
at Manila by sensational developments,
present and prospective, of frauds in
the commissary department. How
widely these extend has not vet been
ascertained, but enough is already
known to justify the belief that they
are far-reaching.
Captain Frederick j. Barrows of the
Thirtieth volunteers, quartermaster of
the department of southern Luzon,
together with seven commissary SER
geants, several civilian clerks. u promi-
nent government contractor, the as
sistant manager of the Hotel Oricnte,
the proprietors of three Of the largest
bakeries, a number of stockholders
and other persons have been arrested.
The investigation has scarcely begun,
but thousands of sacks of -four. a guam
tity of bacon and wagon loads OF other
goods, all bearing government marks,
have been found in the possession of
unauthorized persons 1t is alleged
that the contractor in question. who
has been doing a business approximate
ing slO0,o per month. has spent huge
sums in entertaining officers.
A prominent conmissary officer is ac-
cused Of leading scandalous and i'm
moral life. 1t is asserted that a large
quantity of stores have been lost or
stolen in transit and also that there is
a shortage in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily.
Illicit transactions have been traced
back to June, 1900, and it is possible
that there are others of carrier date.
The exorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the sale of commissary supplies
immensely profitable.
1t Is understood that other officers
may be arrested. Lieut.. Z. K. Swec,
of the Forty-sixth volunteers is prose-
cutting the investigation, under the
direction of Colonel Wilder.
Aguinaldo continues to express him
self as pleased with and impressed by
the courteous treatment accorded hin
by General Macarthur. Il am pris

toned in the treaty.
