is the interchange between Manhattan

Consideration.

Washington, June 11.-Inasmuch as
three consecutive days cannot be Civ.
en- to the consideration of the irriga-
tion bill this week, Friday being set
apart for pensions, the friends of the
measure are endeavoring to ecure a
rule permitting it's consideration for
three days next week. The Pacific
cable bill will occupy the entire time
of the house tomorrow, leaving Satur-
day for the irrigation bill, which
would necessitate a vote on next Mon
day or Tuesday. The speaker has not
yet committed himself to any plan, but
is expected to decide tomorrow.

FiLlPINos ON A STRIKE.
Over Seven Thousand Laborers Want
Higher Wages.

-r
Manila, June 1.-THE strikes here
are general. The printers, butchers,
~toLacconists, hemp workers and the
carriage makers, estimated in all to
number over 1000 men, are out. lisa.
bello de Los Reyes, who organized
the strike movement, has become
frightened at the conditions which
have resulted from his efforts and has
resigned the leadership. A dummy
leader has been appointed in his stead,
but the strikers admit that De Los
Reyes still issues orders.
The majority Of the strikers tell
their employers that they are salts
fed with their present wages, which
are today three times higher than
they were before the AMERICANS came
to the islands, but they must obey
orders as otherwise they will be kill
ed.
When De Los Reyes resigned he
said it was a matter of Indifference to
him whether or not the Americans
shot him on account of his efforts in
behalf of his "dear" workmen.

Venezuelan
Revolutionary
Army
Threatens Capital.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, June Ill
General Matcos has personally taken
command of the Venezuelan revolu-
ton and was on June l, at Urica, 20
leagues distant from Carupano,
marching towards Caracas, with an.
army which some persons estimate
at 5000 and others at $500 men.
To believe, however, that he will
reach the capital and take possession
of the presidency without a deadly
struggle, would be an illusion. Gen
eral Castro is preparing to offer re-
sistance and hopes to bar invasion in
the valley of Tuey CIR the plains of
Carabobo.
Coero, Valencia and Barquisitmeto
are all more or less in the power of
the revolutionists.
At Coero, Generals Reira and So
lagni have effected a junction and are
absolute masters of the environs.
Revolutionary troops enter the city
of Valencia every night, and as the
town is no longer lighted, give them
selves up to all sort of reprisals. Even
I4aguaira. the port of Caracas, is at
tackled nightly by armed bands who,
on the night of May ~, killed the
military chief, M~aiequeta, before his
own door.
Everyone is expecting the assess
ment of a compulsory war contribu-
ton.
The bank of Caracas, the capital of
which is six million bolivar (a bolivar
is>equivalent to about 20 cents), has
I'oply 1875 bolivars in it's Golfers.
p Whatever may be the result of the
revolution, General Castro said to
one of his intimate friends a few days
ago:
Il shall show them that l am neither
Andueza nor Andrade, whom they
sent to the Laguaira in a basket. II
I leave my palace at Miraflores, it
! will be feet foremost"

Lieutenant Colonel Philip Holan
(nationalist) applied for the release

WILL REPORT On STRIKE
LABOR COMMISSIONER WRIGHT
HAS DESIRED INFORMATION.
President Will Be Informed Of Real
Causes Leading to Present
Difficulty.

New Yor, June 1.-THE informa.
ton called for by President Roose,
welt about the coal strike has been Sc.
cured and will soon be presented to
him in the form of an official report
by Carroll D. Wright, United States
commissioner Of labor. The report
will touch at the root Of the difficulty
and will explain the real causes
leading to the great Industrial con.
fict, which causes have been jealous
~ guarded by both sides.
Wright will not make any .sugges.
tions or recommendations.
The information sought for was OBJ
tanned in two interviews, which &C
cupied in all but four hours.
Last Monday night at the Manhat-
tan hotel, President. Mitchell made q
statement of the miners side of the
controversy. Late yesterday in the
office of the Delaware & Hudson, Pres
ident Oliphant, of the company, Presi-
dent Beer, of the Philadelphia & Read
ing, and President Thomas of the
Erie company discussed the strike
from the standpoint of the operators.
II have practically completed my
mission" said Commissioners Wright
last night, land will present my re-
port as quickly as possible to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. I have secured the
information l desired, and was treated
courteously by the representatives on
both sides OF. the controversy. 1t will
not be necessary for me to go to the
coal fields"
Speaking of the prospect of a gem
eral strike Of the miners. Commits
sioner Wright expressed himself as
follows:
IF the soft coal men who have sign
ed contracts should strike they would
be violating their agreement, and thus
put their unions at a decided disad-
vantage and forfeit the sympathy of
the public. This action would put the
unions on the defensive in every arbi-
tration that would follow the out
break"
President Mitchell returned to
Wi%lkesbarre last night.

Oh the strike Of the Nal miners and it's
cause and effect. He says:
This glorious country today faces tits
perils of domestic strife, the most shame
full as well as the most sinister perils that
can menace the United States, because
they hit at liberty and disturb the peace
and happiness OF the majority Of her poo
pie. A few men OF great wealth own the
telegraph system, the railroads ard the
coal mines of this great country. They
have formed trusts and called llieEl "a
community of interests In reality they
are 2 conspiracy OF interests" OF course,
Of their ov.n.
These trusts are a horror of CONNER

leprosy which is slowly but surely poison

and primary principle Of the constitution,
because it dc.ies the existing laws, stops
the livelihood OF nearly half a million CT
honest y or&ingmen and menaces the lives
OF the people adjacent the coal rainos.
1t is grave when, in a republic like the
United States, a handful of men are ina
position to create such a perilous situa-
ton; graver yet II the government is deaf
to the warning Of the press, the cries of
the people and blind to the terrible facts
daily placed before it. From a careful
study of the present situation I boldly
say that the mine owners are responsible
for the strike.
Mark We, millionaire owners, these poor
miners cannot even provide for their old
age, though they think of it with awe
and heartache. Does your charity mean
only the foundation of libraries, a worthy
object; the donation of millions to uni
versities, another worthy object; the

It Is easier to>be charitable thar to be

This coalition must be made with a broad

If the capitalist is too obstinate and
avaricious. too much law defying, the
head of the state, President Roosevelt,
whose integrity and courage every Ameri-
can citizen and foreigner admires, must

Washington, June 11.-An army OF

Philippines says the native women
are initiating the American women,
school teachers and wives of army Of
fcers, in the matter of dress, personal
adornment and manners. During the
last year a great change of this ma
ture has been observed among the
native women, who have been thrown
into contact with the "Americanos."
The Philippine women now insist not
only upon having more clothes, but
better clothes, and the result is a
marked improvement in their average
personal appearance.
