SHADOW OF BIC STRIKE
Pennsylvania Coal Miners Are
Dissatisfied With Stand
of Operators.

Philadelphia, March l5.-The following
notice viii be posted tomorrow at all the
collieries Of the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania:
The scale of wages now in effect will
be continued until April ]. 1903. and there
after subject to sixty days notice. Local
differences viii be adjusted as hereto
fore.
The rate OF wages now paid to mine
workers in the anthracite region is the
same as that granted them as q result
or the great strike in the fall Of 1900. At
JnaI time the coal operators promised
that the rate should remain until April
I. 1901. Prior TO the latter date the mine
workers, through the officers of their
national organization. made several de-
mands on the operators. among them the
recognition of the union. This the mine
owners refused. but instead continued the
rate of wages granted IN 1900 TO April /
this year
At the recent national convention Of
the United Mine Workers Of America at
indianapolis it was voted TO ask the OPP
orators again TO grant the men several
concessions. Among these We're the rec
ognition of the union and an eight-hour
day. At the same time the national Of
Ulcers were instructed to seek "A confer
enCe with the operators. and accordingly
letters were sent TO the presidents of the
several coal companies asking for such
"a meeting. As Tar rs Is publicly known,
none of the operators granted the re-
quest.
Failing in this, the miners have called
convention, to be held az Sh4mokln
neXc Tuesday, at which all the coal
mines in the anthracite region viii be
represented and al which the vital QueS-
ton of whether Gf not TO strike will
either be finally decided or referred TO
the national officers with power to act.

HOLDS CUBA Is
AMERICAN SOIL
Representative jenkins Argues
in Favor of His Stand.
POSTAL SUBSIDIES DEBATED
Oh tosITIoN TO PROPOSED EX-
IRA PAYMENTS FRUITLESS.

U1ASHINGToN. March 1S.-in the
w house today Mr.. Jenkins of Wis
consin presented a detailed state
ment of his reasons for his theory that
Cuba is now under the sovereignty of
the United States, which sovereignty
he contends cannot be alienated with
out an act of congress. He quoted
many decisions Of the supreme court
in support of his contention that "for-
eign territory must be territory beyond
the jurisdiction of the United States, %
whereas he maintained that Spain had
relinquished sovereignty over Cuba to
the United States. and that such ter
ritory could only BE- relinquished or
alienated by congressional enactment.
Holding this view 10 our relations TO
Cuba he urged that congress would
waste its time talking of reciprocity
with an island under the sovereignty
of the United States.
Mr.. Jenkins went even further than
this and raised the question whether
duties collected on goods since the rat
iticatiOn of the treaty of Paris would
not have to be refunded.
The house today closed general de-
bate on the postOfice appropriation bill
and completed consideration of twelve
of the twenty seven pages of the bill.
No amendments were adopted. The
principal portion of the general debate
today was devoted to the discussion Of
appropriations for several mail facil-
tiles.
Debate on Railroad Subsidies.
The annual discussion Of items for
additional compensation for special
mail facilities between Washington and
New Orleans, and Kansas City and
Newton, Kan, was inaugurated in a
speech by Mr.. Crumpacker Of Indiana
in opposition to the special apprOpTia-
tions. The amount Of the appropria-
atoms was reduced in the present bill
from $4,000 to $4,000 because of the
abandonment of the subsidy between
New York and Washington. The
Southern railway, which received the
subsidy between Washington and New
Orleans, Mr.. Crumpacker said, now re-
ceived 1863 per mile in regular mail pay
against 1895, when the subsidy was in
augurated in 1898. He cOntended that
the road could not afford to withdraw
its fast train if the subsidy was with
drawn.
Mr.. Underwood Of Alabama defended
the subsidy to the Southern railroad on
the ground that il was absolutely nee
essary to give the south quick mail
facilities. The whole south. he said.
was benefited by the extra train run in
return for this appropriation.
The bill was read for amendment IN
der the five minute rule. Several minor
amendments were voted down.
A resolution was adopted to author
ize the president to invite the families
of Marshal ROchambeaU and Marquis
de Lafayette and the people Of France
to be present at the unwilling of the
statue of Marshal Rochambeau in
Washington. May "A, 1902. and appro-
priating $z0.009 TO carry out the pur-
poses Of the resolution.
