Would Settle the Strike.

Denver. Colo. March 11.-Charles
Duncan. representing the United Mine
Workers of America, has issued an adj
Colorado" in which he claims that If
the Northern Coal Company had con-
suited with the United Mine Workers
an agreement could In all probability
have been easily reached by which
that organization would have been able
to guarantee an immunity from strikes
for n specified term.
The address says. in conclusion: "1n
the case of the Northern Coal and Coke
Company, we have offered to enter into
an agreement with them which would
not add / cent per ton to the cost of
production if they will agree to treat
with us as organized men, granting to
us the same rights which they them
selves assume: namely. to organize for
mutual benefit. A copy of said agree
ment is now in their possession. All
we ask is an opportunity to prove to
the Northern Coal and Coke Company
what we have proven to the great coal
interests of the middle West and east
ern states, that the conservative and
intelligent methods of our organization
have reduced the liability of strikes to
n minimum. We now ask the public
to judge whether or not our request is
reasonable and fair. and whether it is
the miners or the company that Is re-
fusing to be just in the attempt to set
tie the strike in the northern coal
fields.

YANKEE TRUSTS WILL
Il EXPLOIT CANADA

New York. March "a special from
Ottawa, Ontario, says:
The Pnrliament of Canada Will be
engaged until the end of the session
in the consideration of three of the
largest measures ever presented for
its consideration since the inception of
the Canadian Pacific railway scheme.
james J. Hill, Il. ii. Clague and other
promoters engaged in securing char
tcrs will superintend operations here.
These measures are the Crows Nest
Pass coal and railway project, the Ca
madam Lloyd's bill and the scheme In
tended to complete new transconut
mental route practically under govern
ment control, ana partially uhuer gov
crnment ownership.
A hard problem which must be faced
is the acquisition by American capi-
thlists of the control of Canada's great
est industries. 1t is computed that the
passage of the Sydney Cape Breton,
steel and coal Interests into the hands
of the American steel syndicate means,
In effect, that the Canadian treasury
will he called upon to contribute 10
the syndicate to the extent of SlJ,oU,-
900 n year under the bounty law. The
bounty expires in 1908. and II the trust
can put out 1O.OOO,0OO tons of manu-
featured product in that period it will
cost the Canadian taxpayers Slo,OOo,-
900 in cash.
The situation is thus summed up:
With the nn-ltockefcller trust
controlling the iron and coal of the At
lantic seabonrd, with Hill and Rookie
fcller controlling the coal of the Crows
Nest Pass, with the same combination
directing the Midland, the 500" and
the Nanaimo. Il. C.. enterprises. the an
ncxntion of Canada's industrials Will
he practically complete, and Canada
henceforth n mere annex of the Amer
lean syndicate.

RUSSIA DOES NOT
WANT MANCHURIA

New York. March GA special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Count Cassani. the Russian ambassa-
dor cannot understand the reports that
Russia has Interior designs in Man
churia. In an interview he said
"There ought to be no doubt concern
ing the position of Russia in Chinese
affairs. Her attitude is the same to-
day as it was on August 2Jth last.
when she declared that 'as soon as
lasting order shall have been establish
ed in Manchuria. and Indispensable
measures taken for the protection of
railway construction which, according
to formal agreement China has assur
ed, Russia will not fail to recall her
troops from those territories of the
neighborlng empire. provided that the
action of the other powers does not
place any obstacle in the way of such
n measure
'Russia's policy has shown that she
does not contemplate seizing Manchur-
in. Had she desired its acquisition.
preteXt could have been found in the
invasion of her territory by the Chi
nese. The best proof that she has no
ulterior designs is shown both by her
refusal to take advantage of this pre-
text. and her cordial cooperation with
the United States and other nations to
restore peace and order throughout the
empire"

English and more International.

After Colorado MOonshiners.

Denver, Colo, March 9.-The Den
yer Republican says: Secret service
men have for some time been trying
to catch n gang of moonshincrs who
are said to be operating a small dlstll-
lery in the mountains, near Brecken-
ridge. 1t is believed that the gang has
Mt last been corncrcd and that arrests
will follow within II few days. The
whisky that was sent to Denver was
bought for 80 cents n gallon by reve-
nue. officers who were disguised as
miners. According to the officers, this
whisky costs the makers about 10
cents n gallon, and as there is no par
ticular scale of prices for moonshine
whisky, it Is sometimes sold for 10
times its cost. 1t is chiefly distributed
among miners in small mining camps,
who are inclined to believe that 1t Is
purer and cheaper than that which
paws the revenue cost.
The whisky is almost white and Is
very powerful. Two quart bottles ana
n small keg were secured. The con-
tents of one bottle had been colored
with cherry brandy so that 1t re-
sembled ordinary whisky.
