And Decide to Again Abide
by Commission
Mine Owners Resent Recog-
.*. -. milton of Mitchell

doing so made q statement OF the
reasons for the protest. - This state
ment was long and went into details.
Briefly, Simpson ssaid>-the operators
owed it to themselves to- continue the
Investigation, that testimony may be
taken which will prove that the wages
paid and the treatment accorded the
miners has been fair and their earn
ings large in proportion to the,intelli-
gence required; that their wages pei
hour are greater than skilled mechafi-
les in the same regions.
He thought the general effect of
the testimony presented has given un;
due prominence to Mr.. MitchelP' and
said four days land a half were given
to the examination of Mitchell, which
resulted in information that should
| have been brought out in half an hour
eve think it highly desirable" saio
Simpson, that any attempt at COM
promise should Immediately stop, that
| the investigation should continue and
that one or two individual operators,
with your representatives, should col
lect and tabulate figures Of the earn
ings for the purpose of presenting
them in evidence. After that our wit
nesses can appear.
after struggling through the last
| five months, with their losses and an
! nOyances, it is little matter to wait
a short time more. A good fight is
never useless, and if in the end we
should not win it will be better to have
ended with the dignity Of a strong eff
fort than to go on our knees now when
we know the other side has practically
exhausted it's resources"
Following this statement President
Baer sent a dispatch to MacVeagh, de-
clining to meet Mitchell and that "the
| general judgment of the operators is
that it will be best for the present to
go on with the hearing" The indie
pendents' protest recites their BELIEF
| that settlement upon lne basis sug-
gested would forever establish the
power and perpetuate the injustice per-
petrated by the united mine workers.
or that such settlement would be in
the eyes of the public a confession Of
the operators by the miners that they
believe they have a complete defense
against the charges; that they believe
the commission in it's findings will
make such declaration as will for
many years put a ban upon unlawful
practices, the oppression of non-union
men, unjustifiable demands. and other
! grievances that We have been suffer
! ing under since 1900, when the union
| first took possession of our property;
, that to settle under the present
status of the hearing would 'be an
absolute and distinct surrender to the
miners union, and that such a surren-
der would be by far the most serious
mistake ever made in the anthracite
coal business" ...-,.

COLOMBTANS
HOLDING OFF
SEEM NOT DESTROYS OF A CANAL
TREATY.
HAY REPORTS NO PRoGREss
This Situation of Affairs May Stimu:
late Negotiations With Nicaragua
and Costa RIGA For Alternate
Route-Isthmus Government May
be Waiting for Lapse.

Washington, Nov. 26.-At the cab
met meeting yesterday Secretary Hay
while presenting the. subject of, canal
negotiations TO the" cabinet was not
able. to report that any progress had
been made diring the past week: In
fact it appears that negotiations Have
come to dead stop and while no such
thing as an ultimatnm has passed the
precise situation may be described in
the statement that the Colombian min
lister here, Senior Concha, has distinctly
informed the state department that he
cannot in behalf of his government ac-
cept the last proposition Of the United
States as the basis of canal treaty.
The state department has already let
it be known that it. has come to the
end Of it's concessions SO the. renewal
Of negotiations in the near future
seems not very promisings: -
Fhis state of affairs Will stimulate
negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica for the alternate route, but"it
now appears that diplomatic repre-
sentatiVes of those countries are not
disposed to allow themselves * to be
used to coerce Colombia and there
fore are DESTROYS of remaining in the
background until it shall be clearly
established that no treaty can be made
between Colombia and the. .Unitd States.
One of the statements Of fact in. CON
nection with the Panama rolrte Which
has been brought to the attention Of
the state department is that the canal
concessions will expire in 1904 and it
had been suggested that the Colon
bian government has the fact in mind
and is disposed to refrain from max
ing q. treaty now in the expectation
that the franchise will lapse and it
thus may be in a position to build the
canal itself or to sell a new conces-
sion. Such a course would raise a
very serious question between the Co.
lombian government and the Panama
canal company, the French govern
ment and the government of the
United States. "a,

ca is fraught <Mith great significance.
The. questions which he will have to
settle are such as to require the great
est Of patience, foresight and almost a
degree of magic. A bitter, racial
feeling exists in many of the African
towns. This the colonial secretary is
expected to do-Imueh to aIlay.' Then
there is the question of labor at the
mines. The magnates complain that
native labor cannot be obtained in suf-
ficient numbers and wish to import
coolies to work the diggings. This al
so must come under the colonial Sec
retary's Amusement.
But, perhaps, chief OF all will be his
efforts to pacify the feeling of rebel

who have returned to their homes to
find their families wasted away and
their farms devastated. Chamberlain
