is DULY ACCEPTED
Land Sale in the Phil
ippines.

Rome. June 21.-The papal secre-
tary of state, Cardinal RampOlla, as
sured Right Rev. Thomas O'Gorman.
bishop OF Sioux Falls, =. D., that the
Vatican accepts the proposition Of
Judge Taft, governor of the Philip
pine islands, regarding the disposition
of the friars' lands, on all the main
points. but dissents on minor points.
The United States propositions are
as follows: First-TO purchase the
lands belonging to the friars, the price
to be fixed by arbitration. Second
The appointment of arbiterS to decide
the indemnity the United States is tO
pay for the occupation of ecclesiastical
buildings. Third-The above PROPOSE
tiOns are absolutely conditional on the
withdrawal of the friars. FOurth-If
the other propositions are accepted the
United States proposes to give Il deed
or by law grant a patent TO eccleSiaS-
teal buildings on public land. Fifth
To settle by compromise or arbitration
the several trusts for schools, hOSpi-
tails, etc, claimed on the one hand by
the civil and on the other by the
church authorities.
The announcement of the success of
the Taft mission has produced cOnsid-
cradle surprise, not because serious
doubt had been entertained of the ulti-
mate issue, but because the dispatch
used in the settlement of the question
is so contrary to the habit of Vatican
diplomacy. The unusual procedure is
due to the personal and direct inter
vention of the pope. When the grad
ual withdrawal of the friars was rec
commended to him he exclaimed: why,
the withdrawal of the friars took
place when they left the Philippine
parishes to which they have since been
unable to return" Leo refused to lis
ten to objections. He said he wanted
to finish Immediately to satisfy Gov
ernor Taft. as he was most impressed
with United States honesty and the
moderation shown throughout the en-
tire negotiations.

The Proposed General Strike of the Men
Who Mine the Black
Diamonds.
INVOLVING SIMPLY BUSINESS PARALYSIS
Coal Supply is Already Short and Repen-
ishment DiffiCuItThe
Prospects.

Indianapolis. Ind. June 21.-It IS
! estimated by W. B. Wilson. secretary
and treasurer Of the United Mine
Workers, that the present supply of
bituminous and anthracite coal above
ground would be exhausted in less
than three months if there should be
Il general suspension of work in the
mines. According to this estimate. if
the national convention OF mine work
ers. in indianapolis. July IL. should
vote for Il general suspension of work
i'll support of the anthracite strike. as
is now proposed. the vast industrial
machinery of the United States would
be handicapped for fuel so that thou
sands Of factories would have to suS-
pend work.
Nearly Half a Million Miners.
Wilson has statistics showing there
are approximately 100000 miners in
the country, scattered through thirty
states. The miners of twenty-four
states would be actively involved if
there should he Il suspension of opera
tiOnS. In Idaho. Nevada. California
the pakOtaS, North Carolina and two
or three other states brown coal,
known us Ignite, iS mined, but the
organization did not take these states
into consideration when il issued Il
call for the national convention. There
are now over 100000 members of the
mine workers organized.
Non-CnIOn Men Would Quit.
Wilson says that nearly every non
union man would go out if Il general
suspension of work should be ordered
During the first anthracite strike two
years ago there We're only 5000 an
thracite men in the organization, yet
over 125.0OO went out. The anthracite
organization now includes 141. 900 men.
and since the strike was ordered few
days ago the Virginia and West Nir-
Sinia men have been fiOckinG to the
union. In Indiana 10SOO men are en-
ployed in and about the mines.
Poor Prospects for n Coal Supply.
The Indiana operators have Il short
supply of coal on hand. Canada has
no coal on which this country could
draw if there should be general tie
up. The British isles might supply Il
part of the market but at a price
that would he almost prohibitive to the
manufacturers and ordinary conSum-
erS The tariff on imported coal is 60
cents Il ton-more than the miners re-
ceiVe. as a rule, for mining in the
United States.
Chances Against a General Strike.
At the coming convention the belief
IS that the competitive diStrict-weSt-
ern Pennsylvania. Indiana, Ohio and
IllinOiS-will take Il hand against a
general strike. These states have con-
tracts that they do not want to break.
The combined vote of the competitive
district with that of Iowa is expected
to prove strong enough to prevent the
success of the proposition for gen.
eral strike.

Of the Cuban Tariff
Question Presented
BY Kansan.
INFANT INDUSTRY CRY
Is Again Heard This
Time as Against Our
Plain Duty.

Washington. June 21.-The Repub-
lican senators held another conference
yesterday on the question of Cuban
reciprocity. and after three hours dis
cussion adjourned subject to the call
of Chairman Allison without action.
Almost all the Republican senators
who are in the city were present. There
We're eight or nine speeches made in
support of reciprocity. and only two
in opposition to that policy. The
speeches in support of the reciprocity
bill were made by Foraker. Beveridge.
Lodge, Hale. Warren, Aldrich. Nc
ComaS and Hanna. Platt of Connect
cut adding u few words to what he
had said at the Wednesday evening
meeting. The two speeches i'm opposi-
tiOn to the proposed legislation were
made by Burton of Kansas and Bur-
rows.
Burton Defends the Beet Sugar Men.
The meeting had almost concluded
when Burton took the-~floor to make
a brief but impassioned speech in sup
port and defense of the attitude of the
beet sugar Republicans. He took as
his text certain remarks which had
been made by Platt of Connecticut at
the Wednesday evening meeting and
by Foraker ut yesterdays meeting. He
spoke especially with reference TO an
intimatiOn that the beet sugar senators
were not loyal to the party. He said
that the press of the country had pre-
sentcd only one side of the question.
His side. he said. stood for the sup
port of one of the most promising,
as il was one of the most deserving,
of infant Industries.
Demands Care for the Vegetable
The beet sugar interest was coming
to the front with n rapidity and 4
promise to the future such as had
marked the history of few Industries
in this country, and he urged that this
interest should have the same protect
ing care that tine Republican party
had given to other struggling indus
tries. He said that il was not true
that the beet sugar men We're not
willing to extend Il helping hand to
the people of Cuba if they needed help,
but he contended that there was no
need for assistance to the people of the
island at this time.
No Help Needed I'm Cuba.
4;urton said that Platt of Connect
cut. in defending the committees ac-
ton in striking out the house provis-
ion for the extension of our labor laws
to Cuba. had said that Cuban labor is
as well paid as labor in Kansas or
any other part of the United States.
Burton said that if this We're true the
Cuban laborer certainly was not i'll
need of aims from the people of the
United States. He also urged that if
the plantation owners were able to pay
Kansas prices they could not lie in
desperate straits, as had been repre-
Sented.

PROSPECTS OF THE CANAL BILL
Indications That the House May Accep
the Senate Substitutes.

the Senate Substitutes.
Washington June 21.-SoOn after
the house had sent the canal bill to
conference yesterday reports gained
circulation among members that there
was not likely to be n protracted strug-
gle in conference, and that the senate
amendment probably would be the ba-
sis of the ultimate agreement. One of
the house conferreeS, Fletcher of Min
nesota. frankly stated to his associ-
ateS that he thought an agreement
would be reached OH the Panama
amendment Chairman Hepburn was
not prepared. however. to concede that
the fight was over. He cited the fact
that the vote in the tOuse had been
practically unanimous in favor of the
Nicaragua BILL. only two adverse votes
being cast
The Democratic cOnferree, Judge
Davey, of Louisiana. also was counted
on as strongly favorable to the Mic
aragua route. At the same time the
lateness Of the session and the prevail
ing desire to avoid further complica-
tons in the senate led to a rather
general feeling among the members of
the house that the senate amendmnt
had something of an advantage in
the conference. After the bill had been
sent TO conference Hepburn went to
the senate to arrange for meeting,
but as this was Morgan's birthday the
arrangement of Il meeting was de-
ferred
At the cabinet meeting yesterday
there was very SanGuine feeling eX-
pressed as to the success of the canal
proposition. Secretary Hay had a long
conference before the meeting with
Morgan and other senators, and all the
advices that had come TO the White
House before the cabinet meeting went
70 assure the president that some canal
legislation at the pending session is Il
certainty. and almost as strong was
the evidence that such legislation
would be in favor of the Panama pro-
iect

DR. Hanson, writing on the subject OF
prunes. says: "a pound of prunes is
equivalent as food to gallon of milk
and costs but quarter as much. 1t is
about equivalent to pound Of bread,
but is far more healthful. Considered
from an economic standpoint, no fresh
meat, fish, milk or eggs can be provided
for the same moderate cost, and none
of them contains. even approximately,
the same aggregate of nutritive ele-
ments"
