Washington. May 20.-The remains of
the late Lord Panncefote, British ambas-
sador to Washington, Wednesday were ac-
corded national funeral in token of the
high esteem set by the American people on
the personal worth of the deceased and is
an acknowledgment of the friendly feel
ing which is cherished toward Great Bri-
tain. The st. Johns church, of which the
deceased was member, did honor to his
memory by bringing to Washington to
conduct the services the coadjutor bishop
of Philadelphia. the Rev. Mackay Smith,
under whom he had sat.
Tne services at st. Johns church in
their general contour We're very similar to
those which marked the memorial services
in honor of the late queen Victoria. The
large choir of 40 men and boys took part
in the service at Lady Pauncefotes re-
quest, and the three hymns sung in the
body of the church were her personal Sc
lection.
The church presented most beautiful
and impressive picture while the solemn
ceremony was in progress. At the con
elusion of the services the bearers carried
the casket slowly out, followed by the two
bishops, while the mingled strains of or
gan and harp sounded through the church
At the express wish of the family the
escort from the church to the cemetery
was limited to a single squadron of Unite /
States cavalry. Not even the honorary
pail bearers were called on to accompany
the remains further than the church. The
remains were placed in the receiving vault.
to remain until such time as they should
be conveyed on a United States warship
across the Atlantic to the ancestral home
of the late Lord Poncefote of Preston.

500 MINERS ARE INVOLVED
Frank f. sargent Expects Sym
pnthetfc strike of All soft Coni
Workers VIII soon Come-both
sides Are Confident of Winning
No Compromise Looked For.

~. Louis. Mo-, May 29.-Frank 7. Sar-
GENT. head of the Brotherhood OF Locomo'
tive kYremen. member of the national labor
arbitration committee. of which Senator
Hanna is chairman, stated, SO the Post
Dispatch says, that a general sympathetic
strike of all the soft coal miners of the
united States probably would be ordered.
Tie declared that the miners of the Penn
sylvania coal region had refused absolute
ly TO treat with the regularly constituted
arbitration board, and sympathetic
strike of the soft coal men was the only
resource.
"The anthracite miners continued Mr..
Sargent, asked very little and were will
ing TO make concessions, but the attitude
of the operators from the start was such
that | did not hesitate to suggest the
strike to John Mitchell, ] do not see at
this time any hope of a compromise.
"The coal barons believe they are mas
tiers of the situation, while the working
men are equally confident of their strength
and their chances of success.
"There are 10000 men idle as a result
OF the strikes.
There are between $4,000 to 100000
soft coal miners throughout the country.
and not one union, in my judgment, would
hesitate a moment to respond favorably TO
q call for general strike

is progressing slowly on account of gas.
The report of the mine being on fire
proved to be incorrect. Many rooms in
the mine have not yet been reached Sc
far 40 bodies have been recovered from the
main shafts. Some were killed by rocks
and some by fire and others by afterdamp
and gas. Many of the bodies are badly
Scared.
Vancouver, B. c., May pa special
just received from Fernie, B. c., says 100
miners at least are lost. 1t is believed

OF coal dust, so great that the roof of the
farmhouse was carried over the mountain
top and came down in little pieces. Mine
Inspector Dick was in town and assisting
in the work of rescue. Relief parties are
working heroically in four hour shifts.
Thirty-seven bodies have been recovered.
Twenty-three men who worked on the left
side of No. 3 had narrow escape.

Their from his thoughts.
He said lynchings were not confined %
the south. Horrible cases had occur"

ufS IN Java. How much of this

From atill another district in Java

cents a pound. Then there is the plain
so-calied Java coffee which sells in
wholesale lots at 1sIs cents. Then
there is the Guatemala and Mexico
coffee which in wholesale lots sells ut
is cents. As to the amount OF genuine
Mocha coffee imported to this country.
that must relatively be quite small. In
round numbers the total consumption
of coffee in this country is 10000 bags
of 13Q pounds or 7s0,0OO,OOO pounds
year. OF this large amount only 125. .0eo
bags are Of Mocha and Java coffee
that is, 16,250,000sy pounds. In other,
words out of a grand total of 1S0. 600 GOA
pounds OF coffee consumed only 16.25O.4
600 are Mocha and Java OF this NOR,
than half by a good deal comes from
Java And of the six or seven million
pounds shipped here az Mocha Al
enormous percentage is coffee shipped
from Brazil to Alden and then re-
shipped here as Mocha. So you can see
that the actual amount of genuine
