THE COAL STRIKE.

The strike among the anthracite coal
miners of Pennsylvania has lasted con-
sIderably over two months, and there
are no signs Of a speedy settlement.
Murder has been committed In the re-
cent riots, and It has been found neces-
cary TO call out the state troops TO pre-
'erye order. This means extra ex-
Dense to the taxpayers Of the state, In
addition to the expense incident to the
ldvance In the price OF coal
The reason why The operators do not
care 10 resume operations is supposed
10 be that they are making good
money on the situation, The profits Of
Che coal roads, It Is thought, already
amount to about 100000 as a result
Of the advanced prices on coal and
the prospect Is said to be that there
will be d gain OF SiO,OOOOOO, II the
strike can be kept up a couple Of
months longer II this Is true, the
operators have the strongest possible
motive for Keeping the men idle, at
the expense Of the public.
But the situation suggests the folly
Of the strike az the means OF compel-
ing big concerns to make concessions to
the workingmen Strikes are COM
menced for the purpose Of innictjng
financial loss on the employers and
by that means bringing them to terms.
But II the actual effect Of the strike
Is to give them an opportunity Of SELL
ing out at a greatly advanced price
the reserve stock accumulated while
wages were low, it Is Of no use, It
Is but strengthening the hand Of the
enemy,
Compulsory arbitration would seem
10 be called for AS a remedy Of con-
iltlon which Is anomalous, to say the |
east But there Is no way Of COM
pelllng arbitration. But public opln-
on has weight Both sides in a strike
ire always anxious to enlist public

hat for an ally Is nearly always sure

Instance, public opinion Is for the re-
SUMPTION Of work by the operators at
he best terms obtalnabe The conA
Toyersy should not be drawn out. The
oal strike affects nearly every branch
# industry throughout the country.
Food Is high, and the prospect Of ex-
rbitant prices for fuel as well, for the
winter, is not pleasant to vast numbers
4 our people When hard times come

learly are created by those who In
hem see a chance Of profiting at the
Expense Of the people.

The assumption Of Corean protecto-

The Russian influence at Seoul the

But for the Anglo-Japanese defensive
agreement, the gist Of which was that
England would become the active ally
of Japan in the event Of a war upon
her by any two powers, Russia would
be carrying things with high hand in
Corea today IT was supposed that the
agreement would act as a check upon
the ambitions Of her foreign Office In
the east, and that particularly Corea
would not be included In her sphere Of
activity for the present at least. Why.
then, this new agreement respecting

Nebraska Preachers Object to Sunday Ball
Games and Start Trouble.
There was riot at the baseball
grounds at Nebraska City, Nebraska,
Sunday afternoon when the Law and
Order league attempted to prevent the
game. A warrant sworn out by mem
bers of the league was placed in the
hands of Sheriff Brewer for the arrest
of the two teams. When Brewer ar
rived on the grounds an angry crowd
surrounded and disarmed him. He
succeeded finally in arresting four
players and took them to a Justices
office, where they were placed under
bonds.
A number of city pastors were at the
Justices office and when they left
friends of the players threatened and
jostled them. A rock was thrown at
Rev. C. NJ. Shepperd of the Methodist
church, striking companion and
knocking him down. Mr.. Shepherd
was chased to his home. Later, alleg
ing that his life had been threatened
and the church property in danger.
MIR. Shepherd applied to the mayor for
police guard for himself and the
church property.
The outbreak is the outcome OF
long and bitter fight between the Law
and Order league and friends of Sum
day baseball. Saturday the question
was put to vote of citizens, and there
was practically unanimous vote for
Sunday ball.

JOHN W. MAcKAY DEAD.
Man who Made Millions In Nevada Mines
Passed Away In London.

Passed Away In London.
John. w. Mackay. OF San Francisco,
who has been suffering from heart
prostration since Tuesday last, died at
his residence at Carlton House terrace,
London, at half past six o'clock Sun
day evening. the immediate cause OF
| his death being heart failure.
John William Mackay was born in
Dublin, Novem ber2s, 1881. His parents
brought him to New York in 1910 and
their home during his boyhood was on
Park Row In that city. He was among
| the first to embark for California when
the discovery Of gold offered such at
fractions to adventurous, industrious
and hardy men, His acquaintance In
the Pacific coast was very extensive
and probably no citizen Of that section
WAS more popular, il A. much 30, -
Mr.. Hackay.
Mr.. Mackay went to CAlifornis In
1851, via Panama. He at once entered
. mine, working with pick and shovel
in the placers of the American river
and 1T Downieville. In 1889 be went
to Virginia City. New, and began min
ing on the Comstock with varying sue
cess. His first real start toward sue
cess WIS made when he became super
intendent of the Kentucky mill in Gold
Hill.
In 1863 Mr.. Mackay formed a part
nershlp with Flood, O'Brien and Fair
In 1871 this famous mining quartette
purchased the site of the Bonanza ter
ritory, north of the Ophir mine, on the
celebrated Comstock ledge.
They began work on lode aban-
doned by Sharon and other large oper-
ators. The enterprise was fruitful
source of ridicule in mining circles,
nothing but financial disaster being
freely predicted Without losing heart
or patience the four men continued, ex-
pending half million dollars in pros
pecting operations. The ledge was
struck and over BIO, 900, 900 was added
to the worlds stock of precious metals.
No accurate estimate of Mr.. Mack
avs holdings in California can be made,
but it will run up into the millions.
He was the owner of valuable real
estate in San Fran cisco and had inter
ests in mines throughout California
and Nevada. friend of Mr. Mackay's
claims that he was worth $50, 900, 900 at
the time of his death.
