A gentleman visiting a Coylay (Pa.) min

remarks to the children, relates the Phil

theme Of the children who Knocked Elijah

sters tainted the poor old prophet, and
how they were punished when two she
bears came out of the wood and ate forty
and-two of them.

Charles B. Spahr. of the editorial staf Of
the New York Outlook. publishes in that
magazine the result OF an investigation
conducted by him into the condition Of the
miners In the anthracite field who are on
a strike for more wages and shorter hours.
Mr.. Spahr's attitude is one Of sympathy
for the strikers and he criticises the
operators severely for refusing arbitration.
Following are excerpts from the article:
"The Civic Federation's committee was
not ready to pass upon any Of the ques-
tions submitted. II was, however. con-
WINGED Of the righteousness Of Mr..
Mitchell's demand that the employing rail-
roads should be willing to submit these
questions TO arbitration. 1t was not q
question OF arbitration by our board; we
recommended arbitration In which one
party select one arbitrator, the other party
another and these two select a third, but
the railroad companies fatty rejected II.
The fact that these companies are
chartered by the state and given state
powers Of eminent domain makes their re-
fusal the more indefensible.'
ITO a surprising extent l found that
these miners about Plymouth were not in
danger OF being eVieted, for most OF them
lived in houses owned either by themselves
or by their parents. The situation In this
respect was in marked contrast with that
at LAtimer and most OF the towns about
Hazleton. which I had seen in previous
visits TO the coal helds. Furthermore,
most Of the houses in the Hszleton dis
trict and the number hat had gardens at,

government and receiving much larger rate

The teachers In this province are not en-
thusiastic over the future outlook. The at
tendance Is d~iscouragingly irregular, and,
while there are occasionally bright and in
terested pupils, the general interest and
advancement are not what might be hoped.
Considering the dense ignorance and pow
erty OF the mass Of the population any
sensible change in their condition for the
better must necessarily be a work Of con-
siderable time.
The United States has done much to de-
velop the islands, perhaps more has been
done since the American occupation in the
way OF development Of the country and its
inhabitants, than during the three cen
turtles Of occupation by a European power.
The government has established schools,
built school houses and sent over an army
OF school teachers to occupy them and

work, is but little inducement to that in
dividual, when he is satisfied with rice
and fish to eat, with bananas for dessert
and cares only for a nipa roof to shelter
himself and family, and secures this with
as little work as possible. He is content
with the country as it is, and prefers that
woods, streams, harbors and roads remain
as they are, rather than they should be
improved by means of his labor.
The people at home should not run the
risk OF disappointment by expecting IN
speedy radical change in the Industrial,
moral, social or political situation in this
country. One must make haste slowly in
the Orient. 1t is difficult to hurry the
oriental and the Filipino is no exception to
the general rule. In dealing with the ma

labor and to watt" the last lesson the Fill
pino has learned to perfection, whether he
will ever learn the first is a matter of seri-
Gus doubt.
The American in the Philippines, espe-
cially the newcomer, is inclined to fret,
everything moves slowly; the business man
is slow, the house servants move slowly,
and the laborers are slowest OF all. The
American overseer frets over the mortal
slowness of the "hombres" working on the
streets and public works Of the city of
Manila. The American housekeeper frets
herself almost into a fever over the dila-
tory movements of her servants, the Amer
lean judge and lawyer fret over the slow

examination before the anthracite coal
commission. The two men, the one in

ties, were followed with intense inter
est by both the commissioners and the
crowd throughout the day. a..t.,
| The fourth demand of the union,
which calls for yearly trade agree
ment and which means q straightout
recognition Of the union, was the bone
OF contention, and although several
hours were taken up in discussion OF
the question, not much. material pro-
gress was made. Wayne MacVeagh,
skilled in the art Of cross-examination,
attempted to show the utter irrespon-
sibility of the union and it's unfitness
to make contracts which it could not
live up to-. His principal argument
was the alleged boycott and he often
hard pressed the miners president for
an answer. The latter, however, slow.
ly and deliberately gave some reply,
but 1t did not always satisfy his in
quisitor. taa Ie6aN9. y+
Mr.. MacVeagh, in the presence of

on one occasion, when Mr.. Mitchell
parted a question regarding the boy
ootting of coal and iron policeman

torney threw up his hands. laughed,
and said: Mr.. Mitchell, you are the

/ Adyices from Neal, Idaho, tell of the
sale of the Daisy mine, one OF the

western Trust & Guarantee company.
| The price, while not made public, is
understood to be in the neighborhood
of S225, 900. A 10-stamp mill and
concentrator is on the property. The
mine has been sufficiently well .eX-
plotted to determine the existence or
a. large, and, it is believed, a per-
manent body of ore. George Brede-
hoff, the former owner, secured the
Daisy from Denver people for a song
after they had expended much capital
in a futile search for ore bodies. The
first drift run by Mr.. Bredehoff ex
posed the payshoot.
Mr.. Truitt found damages to Han
ley amounting to S265,24ES3. He gave
Hanley the gross value of one-eighth
of the ore taken from the Skookum
mine, in which Hanley holds an eighth
interest, and refused to allow the de-
PENDANTS anything for the cost Of min
ing the ore which they took without
Hanley's consent. Judge Beattie.
however, disregarded the recommen-
dations of the master on that point.
While he does not allow the defend
ants for mining up to the date that
Hanley brought suit, on March IS,
1899, yet he allows them to deduct for
mining after that date. His ruling is
based on the ground that Hanley
should have applied for an injunction
stopping the extraction Of ore when
he started suit. Failing in that, he
holds that Hanley forfeited the right
to recover the gross value of the ore
mined after the filing of the suit.
