SALISBURY OUT,
BALFOUR IN

LONDON, July 13.- Lord Salisbury
has resigned as Premier Of Great Brit
ain, and Arthur ]. Balfour has been
appointed to succeed him. These
changes in the cabinet were arranged
at conferences with the King, and viii!
be publicly announced at meeting of
the Unionist party to be held at the
Foreign Office at noon tomorrow.
At the political clubs last night va
rious opinions were expressed regard
ing Lord Salisbury's retirement and
Nationalists generally expressed relief
to find that Balfour, not Chamberlain,
was to be Premier; but a small section
OF the Conservatives and Liberals
were in no way reconciled to the idea
Of the :'perpetuation of the Hotel Cecil
as the change from Lord Salisbury to
fsalfour is called. and openly regretted
that Chamberlain had not been ap-
pointed or compromise found IN the
appointment of the Duke of Devon
shire, Lord President of the Council.
Among the bulk of his party. as also
n the morning papers, satisfaction is
upon learning that Balfour
s 10 be the new Premier, and the con-
iensus of opinion is that there is no
onger anything in Great Britain's
oreign relations to cause the slightest |
nxiety ct Lord SalisbUry'S dropping |
he reins of power.

The soundings Of the Nero Wanted
by Mackay

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The ques-
ton of turning over the Navy Depart
rnent soundings to the Pacific CONNER
cial Gable Company is now in the
hands of Attorney General Knox, who.
it IS understood. will require certain
concessions on the part of the com
pany in return for soundings which
Admiral Bradford values at 500, 900.
These concessions are that the govern
ment shall have a reduced rate of a
certain figure; that in time of war the
government may take the cable, and
that the cable be laid in American ter
ritory exclusively. 1t is said the cable
company is willing to give these terms.
The soundings We're taken by the ca-
Die survey ship Nero between Honolulu
and Manila, and are very complete.
Many interesting things were found in

assumption that they are wholly subsist-

BITUMINOUS COAL MEN
Vote TO GO ON STRIKE
Ten Thousand Miners viii
Stop Work on Tuesday.
Employees of the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal and Iron Company Want
Scale Signed.

ALTOONA. Pa. March Gothic strike
of ten thousand miners of the Rochester
and Pittsburg Coal and Iron Company was
officially ordered today. to go into effect
April l. The company is owned by the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Rail
road and the strike means a complete
paralysis OF the freight traffic of this road
and the throwing out of work OF twenty
thousand men.
The Rochester and Pttsburg Coal and
Iron Company is one Of the largest in the
district, employing ten thousand men. 1t
has one hundred thousand acres of coal
land and yearly capacity OF six mil
lion tons.
District President Bernard Rice has re
ceived a message from National Secretary
Wilson stating that $4,000 has been ap-
propriated from the special national
strike fund to carry on the warfare. H
D. Ryan na Aonal secretary an1 treasurer
OF the Illinois miners has wired 2 pledge
OF financial support from the 100000
treasury in that field.
Tho strike is due 20 the failure OF
Luclcn W. Robinson to sign the scale
adopted by all the balance OF the oper-
ators and miners in the field at the Al
toona convention last week.
The only way that strike can BE-
avcrted before April Is for Robinson TO

EDITOR CHESTER HELD UP.
Senate May Fail to Act on Termination
as South Carolina Revenue Collector.

The nomination of Editor Chester, OF
the Columbia IS c. Register" to be in
ternal revenue collector is under consid-
Grafton by a subcommittee OF the Com
mittee on Finance of the Senate. Mr..
Chester is the man who was charged with
having participated in the lynching of
colored man in South Carolina. The case
caused much talk when President Roose-
welt nominated him last October
1t is understood that the nomination
will not be acted on but allowed to ''go to
sleep" in the committee until the end of
the session. II is limited that both Pres
ident Roosevelt and the committee favor
this course. If this is done President
Roosevelt will be able. if he wishes, to
withdraw the name of MIR. Chester very
easily and appoint someone else. on the
ground that the Senate has failed to con-
firm him.
Mr.. Chester was recommended for the
place by Senator McLaurin. He was not
an applicant for it, He is member of
the new democracy of South Carolina.
When the charge of participating in a
lynching was brought up against him he
denied il very positively. There have been
protests against the nomination since that
time, however, by colored politicians. and
il is considered that the completion of the
appointment would be bad politics.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, March 30.-The
Pike building, which contains the his
toric Pike Opera House. took fire in the
basement shortly after = o'clock today.
The audience at the opera house had
hardly been seated when the stage mana
ger stepped before the curtain and an
nounced that there was a small fire in the
neighborhood and requested the audience
to leave as quietly as possible.
Almost at the same time the stage
manager was making the announcement a
large window at the side OF the theatre
cracked and the noise could be heard
throughout the place. Fortunately
however, the crowd did not become
panicky. and through the efforts OF the
ushers and attaches. the people left the
theatre in very good order there being
some fifteen hundred in all.
Two women tainted, but aside from this
there was no serious mishap. The loss to
the building today will not exceed $4,000.

tory to opening a store the coming week.
