is absolutely nothing to indicate that the

mediary, Gov. Stone OF Pennsylvania went
to see President Mitchell OF the Mine
Workers, but their conference bore no
fruit. This week, President Gompers OF
the American Federation OF Labor has
been in consultation with the strike lead
ers, but this IS said to mean nothing more
than that the officials are planning how
best to continue the fight. The mine ope-
rators are not weakening a particle, but
are doing their best to work what mines
they can with the help obtainable. An

SITUATION UNCHANGED.
No new small pox cases have
developed.

Reports that seven new cases had ap.
peared are stated by DR.. Warren TO
be unfounded One case being watch
ed-No new point of infection-Yac-
cination strongly urged.
DIR. Eugene Warren was seen by
this paper on Friday morning and
asked about the small pox situation
over Cheat. He stated that there
were no new developments and that
in consequence he had determined
not to go over today but that on
Saturday he would make another
visit.
At VOLTS on the river there is a
suspicious case. This Is being
watched and as the house is already
quarantined even if the case should
prove to be small pox it will not add
a fresh point of infection.
Lucian Blaney who has been ex-
posed to the disease has been warn
ed to be careful about it and if he
gets sick to promptly notify the au
thorities so that he may not spread
the malady. The guards are doing
good work and if present conditions
are maintained for a short time the
disease will be wiped out.
DR.. Warren says that one thing that
the people over there are neglecting
though not recognizing its Importance
is the matter OF vaccination. Every
one in the Neck should be vaccinated
at once. This will prevent the dis
ease taking hold of them. Ii they do
not take this precaution some OF them
may take it.
On Thursday complete round was
taken and rumors that there had been
developed seven new cases were inves-
| tigated. These reports were found to
be incorrect. The house at SINNERS
was disinfected and all of the clothing
used in it was destroyed by DR.. War
rem.
These reports stated that there were
three cases at VOLTS, two at Lucian
Blaney's, one at Stuyvesant's and one
| farther back in the mountains. These
are said by health officer not to exist.
He has seen all OF them. The case at
VOLTS may be small pox but it is not
sufficiently developed to be sure yet.

London Papers Claims That
Terms Have Practically
Been Framed.
The Beers MORE REASONABLE.
Became So When Informed They
Must Accept British Terms or Con-
ference Would End-Some Details
Yet to Be Settled.

London. April 1S,-The Daily Mail
claims to have authority to announce
that bases of peace have been prac-
tically agreed upon at Pretoria.
The paper adds that upon finding
that the British government refused,
on Wednesday, TO modify its terms
with regard to amnesty. Punishment
and responsible government, the
Boer delegates met again on Thurs
day.
The British decision, practically
leaving them the alternative of &C
cepting the British terms or break
ing up the conference. was then COM
municated to them and the delegates
proved much more reasonable.
When Lord Miner, the British high
commissioner in South Africa, prom.
Used the delegates one or two seats
on the executive council, subject to
the approval of the government. and
pending the restoration of RESPONSE
bic government, they practically
agreed to accept the British terms.
Some details, continues The Daily
Mail which are not likely to create
difficulty, still remain to be settled.

ABSOLUTE
Control of Oil Production Of the United
States Secured by Standard.

After negotiations that have been
carried on for period extending
through many years the Standard
Oil Company has finally obtained
absolute control of the production
of Illuminating oil in the United
States
Within the past few days that
corporation has obtained possession
of the production of it's foremost
rival, Guffey & Galley, of Pittsburg
and is now undisputed possession of
at least 80 per cent of the producing
wells of West Virginia.
The recent deal which ended with
the requirement of the production
controlled by Guffey q Galley began
some months ago, when the Stand
ard purchased from Theodore N.
Barnsdall his West Virginia hold
ings. Various figures were given at
the time the deal was made, but in
all probability the sum paid to Mr..
Barnsdall, based on that paid other
producers, was more than 81 ,000,-
900. Since then the Standard has
quietly been buying out all of the
smaller producers in West Virginia
and with the exception of possibly
half dozen of them, whose combin-
ed production will not exceed 500
barrels day, the company has sue
ceeded in gaining possession of
practically the entire production of
the State, with the exception of that
owned by Gudey d Galley and Jen-
nings Bros, the latter also of Pitts
burg.

BLOW FOR BLOW BY IRISH.
Redmond So Threatens, If English
Continue Policy--Denounce
Crimes Act Proclamation.

London, April 1S.--In the house OF
commons yesterday John Redmond.
the Irish National leader, speaking Of
the crimes act proclamation issued
Wednesday night by the lord lieuten.
ant of ireland. Earl Cadogan. said
an Infamous conspiracy was on foot
in England to foment crime In Ire
land where none existed. The stories
of outrage and violence in Ire
land were Infamous calumnies. The
Nationalists in Ireland were only gov
erned by a contemplate minority.
This statement was cheered by the
Irish members.
A hundred men, continued Mr.. Red
mond, stood ready to replace every
man sent to prison In this struggle.
They entreated Mr.. Wyndham, the
chief secretary for Ireland, to change
his policy, but il he continued 1t they
would meet him face to face and give
blow for blow. Their answer to his
coercion of Ireland would be Il
harden their hearts, strengthen their
organization and compel redress.
Mr.. Wyndham replied that while II
was true that there was a compare
tive absence In Ireland of crime
against the person, the lives of peo-
pie were made miserable by intimi
dation and boycotting. The govern
ment was not acting from political
motives, but as the result of mass
of information laboriously collected
and oaraft1llu ayan,inad
John Redmond and John Dillon
have sent joint cablegram to
former Congressman John F. Finerty
of Chicago, appealing for American
sympathy and support in the struggle
against coercion.

BRIDGE DAMAGED.
South Morgantown Structure
put out of Business.
NJ. & X. Cars get on tear and Knock
the Props From Under the Bridge
FOotmen ON the Bridge Badly Shak-
en-Wagons Have to go way Round
Bridge to be Repaired i'm Month.

On Thursday evening as the M. &
K. train was coming in a wreck occur
red near the South Morgantown bridge
which played smash with the bridge
A car jumped the track and pulled
two or three more cars off with 1t.
One OF these struck support OF the
bridge and dragged it from under the
bridge.
UThe floor OF the bridge sagged down
ten feet or more and it was put out OF
commission for teams. Foot passen-
gers don't feel too safe about crossing
it. The bridge doesn't look entirely
too safe as it stands.
Several people were on the bridge at
the time that the accident occurred.
They were shaken up rather badly.
G. r. Huston was one of them. He
states that the racket was something
fierce and that it felt like the bridge
was being torn down.
Frank Caples was at his boat house
on the creek. He thought the cars
were coming over into the creek and
they probably would have done SO but
for striking the bridge.
1t will be several weeks before the
damage can be repaired and IN tht
meantime all travel to and from
South Morgantown have to go by the
way Of the South Park bridge. This
is roundabout route but it is thu
| best that can be had.
The M. & K. will have to pay fol
the damage done to the bridge which
they will no doubt cheerfully do.
A funny incident occurred in con
nection with the wreck was to see
lot of Italians who were on the trair
fall off and take 60 the high brusf
when the crash came. There wal
acres of conversation as soon as the,
had satisfied themselves that they
weren't killed Forty or fifty of then
had been on the train and their tall
about it sounded like a riot.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Unfayorable Weather Greatly Retards
all Farm work-Fruit Damaged but
Slightly.

The weekly weather and crop bulle-
tin for West Virginia for the week
ending April l4th shows the following
conditions:
During the last two weeks, the
weather has been cold aud cloudy,
with only a few pleasant days. A
heavy snow storm occurred on the oth
which was quite general over the
State reaching depth of from To %
inches; this passed off rapidly on the
9th and 10th causing high stage of
water over the valleys.
The cold stormy weather has not
been favorable for farm work, nor for
improving the condition OF vegeta-
ton. Some blowing was done previ-
GUS to the snow storm OF the Sth;
since that time the ground has been
too wet to work Farm work Is
behind, and with the exception Of a
few potatoes, practically nothing has
been planted since the last week In
March. Stock Is being fed and is gen.
orally in fair condition, with the ex-
ception OF sheep feed is getting
scarce.
Very little improvement is noticed
in wheat since the last report; 1T Is
generally reported to be in bad condi'
ton, with prospects for not more than
half a crop; some fields will be plowed
up In localities; grass is starting nice
ly. Fruit has suffered from the cold,
but it had not advanced far enough to
be killed; with the exception of some
early cherries, pears and peaches,
fruit is thought to be generally safe,
with good prospects.
