LESSONS OF THE STRIKE.

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE FEATURE
OF the practical settlement Of the
anthracite strike is the moral victory
won by the strikers. Whether the
arbitrat0rs require the operators 70
recognize their union or not. the fact
that the operators have been forced
by overwhelming public sentiment to
arbitrate furnishes. sufficient recog-
milton on their part Of the right Of the
miners 10 organize and demand what
they believe 10 be their due.
The personnel OF the arbitration COM
mittee indicates that an absolutely IN
biased decision win be rendered. The
report may be against the miners. and
1t may be in their favor-certainly a
large majority OF the public hopes for
The latter; but no matter how the case
goes. there can be no hint Of undue
influence. for every arbitrator is a cit
izen above the possibility OF sus-
picion.
For more than five months the an
thracite strike has been In progress, IN
volvlng idleness for vast army OF
workers and a loss Of not far from
$500 600 900. When II is remembered
that the operators have at last con-
scented 20 the proposition originally
made by President Mitchell, and that
all The distress and bioOdshed and death
and expense might so easily have been
avoided, IL Is not surprising that the
sentiment against the operators has
been bitter
They are not entitled TO an iota of
credit for ending the strike. If they
could have had their way II would
have been prolonged until the strikers
were starved into submission. But the
coal barons knew that before that could
happen an outraged public would force
a dissolution OF their unlawful organ
ization. Indeed. it Is not improbable
that the mines would have been taken
out OF their hands and operated
through receivershiDs.
The real honors Of the war must fall
TO President Mitchell. lie has shown
himself to be the greatest OF ali the
labor leaders. Calm, elearheaded. con-
sentative. he has held his temper and
his men in check under circumstances
that few men could have controlled. II
IS true that there has been lawIessness
in the strike region, but Mitchell has
always discountenanced IL and has
used every effort 10 prevent fresh out
breaks.
All OF his published utterances have
been on the side OF law and order. free
from venom, although his provooation
was great. Mr.. Mitchell has won one
Of the greatest labor victories Of mod
ern times. He has forced a mighty
combination OF employers to recognize
the justice OF arbitration, and whether
his ultimate object is accomplished OF
not he has made clear the way for
future leaders 20 follow. More than
this. Mr.. Mitchell has taught the other
labor leaders the power OF silence and
the value Of peaceful methods. and IL
that the public has gained a victory.

AN AHTI-cANTEEN SPECTACLE

Miles WAS crazy drunk, and num-

productive of disturbances similar TO
the one of Wednesday evening. An
examination of the local police records
win verify this assertion. When the
men were allowed to drink beer and
light wines at the post they were much
more easily controlled and their appe-
tites were more easily satisfied. No
body at the post insisted on their
drinking away the last dollar of their
small stipend; nobody filed them up
with bad whisky and then melted them

The temperance people unwittingly
played into the hands of the lowest

friends consumed ar one meal. The
health Of the prisoners was very good

tween the soldiers and the prisoners
seemed to be very cordial, as the ser
geant who went through the camp
with me talked to great many OF the
prisoners and l saw other soldiers IN
the enclosure talking to the prisoners.
The granting of paroles is very
general to the boer prisoners-espe>
clally to the officers. as they had
money enough to support themselves
outside the enclosure. There has also
been established school for the boer
prisoenrs at the camp. The colonial
government contributed 1000 rupees
for that purpose. There is apparently
an effort being made by the British

down in the excited exit. One car
filed with passengers was thrown
from the tracks.
Among the dead are supposed to be
three children of the Trostle family
whose bodies have not yet been re-
covered. 1t is not known positively
that they were in the house at the
time, but search in the neighborhoOd
does not show any trace of them.
There were six children in the family,
and there is little doubt that all eight
members of the family were killed
Three other people who are said to
be dead are supposed to have been
customers in the meat market at the
time of the explosion. The cause of
the explosion is not known, but all in
dications show it was due to escaping
gas in the basement of the 1rostle
house.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning. There was dazz-
ling flash, deafening roar, a cloud
of dust and shattered timbers where
the TrOstle house stood. On botn
sides of Archer avenue and, 22d and
23d streets every pane of glass was
blown out and a number of residents
in the damaged buildings suffered
slight injuries from flying glass. Ad-
joining the TrostIe building on the
west was the two-story frame in
which John Mcleod had a saloon. 1t
vanished in the same second as the
meat market. It was reported one or
two people were killed here but the
story could not be substantiated.
In the ruins of the buildings &C.
cupied by Trostle e Mcleod the
t1ames burned so fiercely that if the
inmates were not killed by the force
OF the explosion they must have met
death by fire. Close to the Trostle
building stood the Peoples hospital a
small affair, which had but a few
patients. The building rocked and
every window was blown out but mono
of the patients were injured,

COMBINATION OF DELAYS
FOR WEDDING pARTy

Racine, Feb. 8.-The wedding of
Michael May and Cora Estelle Long
well at Racine was postponed by the
combination of hot box, delayed
train, and funeral. The Rev. H. p.
Haylett, who was to have performed
the ceremony, was called to Reeds
burg, Wis. The funeral was little
late, but he made the train, which was
delayed on it's return. When Western
Union Junction was reached the last
passenger train for the night had de-
parted, but the pastor managed to get
freight train and came in, when the
ceremony was performed five hours
later.

ident feels encouraged to hope it may
continue so, and the necessity for a
visit to Groton may be avoided.
Washington, Feb. S.-MEs. Roosevelt
left yesterday afternoon for GrotoB,
Mass, where Theodore, Jr., is lying
seriously i'll of pneumonia. She will
reach Groton this morning. President
Roosevelt himself is likely to go to
Groton today and will do so except In
the event Of reassuring news. Sever
al reassuring messages were received
at the white house during the after
noon and early evening hours from
Groton, the tenor of which was that
the condition of the presidents SON
was satisfactory to the attending
physicians.
Groton, Mass, Feb. 8.-From
sources outside Of school it was
learned the presidents son caught
cold a day or two ago and the trouble
proved stubborn. Last evening the
symptoms grew more serious and at
midnight DR.. Warren, the school ply
stefan, was called. Remedies were
prescribed and yesterday morning the
patient was no worse and it was
hoped aid had been given in time 10
check the progress of the disease.
President Peabody said that besides
abiding by the rules of the school in
refusing to give out news, he was act
ing in accordance with the express
wish Of President Roosevelt.
"The president" he said, 'has two
reasons for not wishing me to discuss
the case; first because he considers his
son as of no more consequence than
the sons Of scores Of other families
represented at school and, secondly,
becaue the reports, through no inten-
ton of those handling them, might
contain disturbing inaccuracies. The
wisdom of this is shown from the fact
that yesterday afternoon I was ad-
vised of the rumor from several places
that the boy is dead or DYING
There has been much illness at
school Of late. There are several other
cases of pneumonia besides young
Roosevelt and yesterday afternoon the
school was clcSed for two weeks on
account of prevailing sickness. The
boys have been in the habit of run
ming about bareheaded all winter

Washington, Feb. Both majority
and minority reports were filed on the
war revenue repeal bill. The ma
jOrity report says the probability Of
an early withdrawal Of troops from
Cuba and the reduction of the force in
the Philippines will make further re-
auctions possible. 1t also reviews the
condition of the treasury. 1T cannot
be denied large surplus furnishes
temptation for eXtravagant eX-
penditure," it says. while congress
may generally be relied upon to
keep national expenses within reason
able bounds, it should be relieved
from the pressure which comes with
plausible schemes from every quarter,
to raid an Overlooking treasury -
The minority report approves the
proposed reductions, but asserts they
should have been made long ago. 1t
also advocates general revision of
tariff taxation with the retention of
taxes on accumulated wealth. Mr..
Babcock rep, Wis., offered his bill
largely reducing the duties on the
steel schedule and placing some ar
ticles on the free list, as an amend
ment to the tea repeal section. The
amendment was defeated, six to seven.
Mr.. BabCOck and Tawney, and all the
democrats voting in the affirmative. :
Another spirited debate with the
Philippine tariff bill as a text was
precipitated the senate, as a result
Of some statements by Senator Car
mack (dem., TENN. Senators Beve-
ridge and Tillman became involved in
a heated colloquy in which the ex-
changes were as hot as both senators
could make them. Prior to taking I'D
the bill the measure providing for an
increase il salaries of United States
judges was under discussion for an
hour. In the course of the debate,
the case Of Judge Arthur H Noyes
of the district court Of Alaska was
drawn upon to show why judges
should not be given an increase.
The net increase Of appropriations
recommend by the senate committee
on the urgency deficiency bill is
s9,163 $50, bringing it's total up to
$50. 239 ,620. Senator Hoar, from the
committee on Judiciary, reported
favorably the bill to limit the use Of
restraining orders and injunctions in
certain cases. The bill is intended
as an aid in adjusting labor disputes
on railroads.
The house devoted the day to a gen
eral debate of the oleomargarine bill
The opponents attempted to filibustcr
against it, but were beaten by more
than a two-third vote. The speakers
were Messrs. Henry Comm, Haskins
(Vt), and Graft Qll), in favor of the
measure and Messrs. Wadsworth IN
", Foster (ll), Burlson (Tex.) and
Clayton (Ala.), in opposition. Those
who antagonized the bill favored the
adoption Of a substitute designed 20

margarine under the guise of butter.

Der Of distinguished citizens for the
