THE COAL MINERS.
They Decide in Convention to
Continue Their Strike.
A Hard Struggle Is Looked Fore
President Mitchell Advised Peace
--Anthracitc Workers Plan
ming 10 Cali Out All BI-
luminous Miners.

Hazleton Pa, May 16.-Tne anthra-
cite mine workers in convention late
yesterday afternoon decided to con-
tinue the strike of the 1880 men
against the mine workers and to fight
it out to the bitter end. The matter
of calling out the engineers, tiremen
and pump runners will be decided by
the delegates to-day. The step taken
yesterday by the miners after practi-
cally considering the matter for two
months has wiped out the uncertain
ty of the situation, and it is freely
predicted that the most serious labor
struggle in the history of the coun-
try, if not the world, is about to be-
gin.
The mine workers for Is months
have been looking forward to the
strike that is now upon them. They
have saved their money and are con-
sidercd to be in better shape to-day
for a fight than they were in the
great strike of 1900 The operators
are on record as being unaltcrably
opposed to granting the men any con-
cessions and they have personally in
formed the mine workers leaders of
that fact.
President Mitchell's advice to the
miners was peace and he gave it to
them in the plainest and most force
ful of language.
WiIliesbarre, Pa, May 16.-Idle
miners and laborers thronged the
streets of this city and adjoining
towns yesterday anXiously wait
ing news from the Hazelton conven-
tion. When the word finally came
last evening that the representatives
of the underground workers had
voted to continue the strike the men
dispersed to their homes, many of
them wearing look of anxiety. If
not actual distress. They knew that
the last hope was gone and that prob
ably Il long period of idleness was be-
fore them.
Hazleton, Pa, May 17.-Thc an
thracite mine workers in convention
yesterday, in order to win their
strike unanimously. deciC>d upon a
plan that if carried into successful
operation, would practically tie up
the industries of the country, para
lyze business and Inconvenience the
people throughout the United States.
1t is their desire that special ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers of America be called as soon
as practicable for the purpose of en-
deavoring to have all the bitumnous
mine workers, both organized and un-
organized, involved in the anthracite
miners struggle.
The coal companies continue their
preparations for a long struggle.

PORTO RICO PEACEFUL.
Everything Quiet and People Are
Happy and Contentcd in Our
New Possession.

Porto Rico has not been saving much,
but has been doing a great deal. The

tory are three times as great as they
were before 1s9S, and the exports to
the island five times as great. There
has never been a yestige of discomfort
with American rule. nor has there been

perfectly Neither Mr.. Atkinson nor

THE SAME PERSONS.
Those Predicting Ruin and De stftu-
ton in Cuba Unless Tariff Is Re
duced Did Same Years Ago.

Some of the same persons that ale
now declaring that the Cuban republic
cannot possibly survive unless this
government removes a large part of
the duties that are imposed by the
general tariff law upon good. passing
between this country and the island,
were assuring the American people
just as positively and emphatically
a few years ago, that the Porto Ricans
were surely doomed to ruin and desti-
tuition if the law imposing on the ar
ticles passing between Porto Rico and
the United States IL reduced duty. for a
time. should be passed and go into OPP
Grafton.
The law was passed and remained
in operation until, according TO its
terms. il expired through due notice
from the Porto Ricans that they were
prepared and able to defray the ex-
penses of their government by local
taxation. And the Porto Ricans did
not suffer because of the tariff. On
the contrary, they have been steadily
growing in prosperity since they were
freed from Spanish rule. That, too,
though a devastating hurricane visited
their island and caused great loss. of
which large part fell upon those least
able to bear it.
Late advices from Porto Rico tell of
a large and steadily growing demand
for good clothes of American manufac
ture. The people of the island are cast
ing off the comparatively primitive raj
ment that they wore under Spanish
rule, and clothing themselves in good
American style. And in tropical
country the people do not begin to
spend money for more and better
clothes than necessity demands until
they have an abundance of it.
OF course. says the Albany Jour
nal, the persons who were abusing the
government and expressing a great
deal Of sympathy Of the crocodile
variety for the Porto Ricans when it
was decided to make their products
subject to a tariff. are saying nothing
about the condition of Porto Rico
now. They are bowling for "ustice
for Cuba" and putting forth copious
sscrtations on what the United
States "owes" to the island. regardless
of its own interests. Two years hence,

Steamer HeNtia Encounters Huge Pill
lars of Water Near Cape IHRttcras
Hut Escapes.

hut Escapess
Capt. Ferguson, of the steamship
Hestfa, from Cuba, reports an eXcit-
ing experience. When $50 miles
south of Cape Hatteras the ship ran
into n terrific rain and electrical
storm. TO windward were seen seven
waterspouts forming and rushing to-
ward the ship. Although it was es-
timated they were half a mile off, the
roar was plainly audible.
Six of the spouts failed to form,
and their columns broke and fell into
the sea. But the remaining spout
gathered force and volume and
rushed in it's spiral course toward
the Hestia. Capt. erguson ordered
the course changed, but that seemed
to draw the rushing liquid pillar
more toward the ship. Capt Fergu-
son then ordered every man off the
deck.
The ship quivered as the huge col
umn of water struck it. The spout
crossed the deck between the house
amidship and the cabin, in a dag
onal streak. 1t tore the canvas hatch
coverings away but, beyond the
quiycring of the steamer under the
great weight there was no serious
damage.

TELLING THE TRUTH.
Republican Administration Making
Facts Regarding Philippines
known TO the People.

Democratic critics OF the af!mlnlS-
tration cannot complain that they
have in any way been hindered in
their search for facts to support their
Philippine policy. Having first com
mitted themselves to the theory that
all the Filipinos are enlightened pa
triots, whose noble aspirations the
administration has brutally tharted,
it then occurred to them that they
ought to have some facts to Justify
this theory.
They have been permitted to rake
the nation with a tine-tooth comb.
They have heard tales of discharged
soldiers with personal grievances, and
of sentimental tourists whose delicate
nerves could not endure the strug-
gle of civilization against barbarism.
They have discovered that possibly
in some cases the nations agents in
the Philippines have been provoked
beyond endurance by its treacherous
and bloodthirsty foes, and have met
their savagery with savagery. They
have also discovered that on the
whole never in the world's history has
the irrcprcSsible conflict between
barbarism and civilization been con
Quoted with greater patience and hui
manity on the part of the forces of
civilization than by our army in the
Philippines.
The critics of their own country,
the faultfnders with their kirrsmen,
have had their day in court, says the
