MT. Power further states that steps have been taken toward the organization of another stock company for the promo tion of the project under his direction.
 MT. Powers observations are in the form of notes from official surveys made by a party of which he was a member, and the statement he makes are the result of investigations which he personally has made. He declares the route he proposes for the great waterway to connect the Pacific and the Atlantic is the shortest, best and cheapest of construction, and presents features possessed by no one of the other proposed routes.
 By the route he advocates. from deep water of the Pacific to the deep water of the Atlantic, the distance is only 29 miles, while from high tide on the Pacific to high tide on the Atlantic the distance is only IS miles.

MINE WORKERS
 CONVENE MONDAY
IT IS UNDERSTOOD THEY WILL ASK AN INCREASE OF 10 PER CENT OVER THE AMOUNT THEY NOW RECEIVE.

Indianapolis, January 18.-It is expected here by tonight for the thirteenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America, beginning Monday forenoon at 10 o'clock in Tomlinson Hall. It is be- lieved there will be over 1000 delegates, making it the largest convention ever held by organized labor President Mitch- ell will preside. President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, may also be present.
 It is understood that the miners will present a demand for an increase of at least 10 per cent over the wages they now receive, but it is almost equally cer- tain that the operators will make a stub born resistance, as many of them claim they are either operating at a loss or at very small profit. The miners will also ask for an extension of the r1Il-of- the-mine basis to the districts wherH. the screen basis now prevails. An invitation was recently extended to the West Virginia operators to attend the, convention, but the Mine Workers officials do not expect them to be pres. ent The situation in West Virginia will probably receive consideration, as the miners are disposed to unionze the State President Mitchell, Vice President Lewis and Secretary and Treasurer Wilson will probably be reelected without opposi- ton.
 The national executive board of the miners met here today to take up the grievances. The joint conference begins January 30.

COMMITTED TO HOME RULE.
Declaration of Liberal Party Important
 Event of Parliament.

London. January 1s.-The most import ant event of the reassembling of Pariia- ment was undoubtedly the emphatic declaration of. Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- herman, the Liberal leader in the House of Commons. that the Liberal party is stiu committed to home rule. This was so utterly at variance with Lord Rose bery's Chesterfield speech that 1t was taken to completely nullify the other passages of Sir Henry's opening speech in which he endeavored to conciliate the Rosebery faction
 The Spectator says this renailing of the home rule flag to the Liberal mast is a new and violent repudiation of the inn peIailist wing"
 In other quarters the home rule an- nouncement has been taken to be de facto bid for the support of the Irish parliamentary party, but this does not appear to be probable contingency, as John Redmond and other leaders of the Irish Nationalists have proved 1t to be their int ention to fight the home rule battle unhampered' alliances, only sup porting Sir Henry Campbell- Zimmerman when the occasion suits them.

THEY LIVED HIGH
 ON POSTAL FRAUDS
NELLY KEEPS A GOOD NERVE, AND IN OPEN COURT CALLS REEVES A LIAR AND CRAZY WITH IT.

Havana, January 1S.-When the trial of the cases resulting from the. Cuban post office frauds were resumed in the Au- diencia Court today the cross-examina- tion of C. F. w. Neels, ex-chief of the bureau of finance, was continued.
 Nicely said that his 70. K" on bills un- der the miscellaneous account only sig nified goods had been received. Not one of Rathbone's private bills for receptions given at Fl Zorro, Havana, the witness said, were paid from the postal funds. Nicely denied telling c. M. Rich, his first assistant, that he (Neely) had saved Rathbone $5000 by including his private accounts in those of the postal depart ment He also decided that he had entered into a conspiracy with Reeves and Rath- bone to defraud by issuing duplicate war rants. He said all the warrants were drawn in Reeves office. They might have been cashed in the postoffice or in bank.
 Nicely was confronted with Reeves three times. He maintained perfect composure and evaded no questions explaining all transactions clearly and giving Reeves the lie direct.
 When Neely denleQ that ne ndu IOrgeu the names to the warrants Reeves was put on the stand to reiterate the state nent previously made that either he or Nicely had forged the names. Nicely look ed Reeves in the eye and bade him re- peat the statement. This Reeves refused to do. Neely's lawyer then asked the court to appoint experts to examine sig natures with the view of detecting the forger The fiscal objected to this step, but the court said it would note the re- quest.
 Reeves again confronted Nicely with the statement that Nicely told him when he was departing for the United States Septmber IS, that he was taking with him $SOOO which he had collected on duplicate warrants. The court asked Nicely what he had to say to this and he replied that Reeves was crazy and that he would show to the court that Reeves was not with him under the circumstances related.
 The court then adjourned.

 Prof c. W.

 Professor Pearson declares the policy of the Methodist church Is one of inac- tivity, obstruction and jesuitical silence on the views in which the leaders and scholars of the church have gradually become to believe, but which are not held by the body of the church.
