JUDGE TO DE IMPEACHED.
mPeach Federal Judge
IL He Does Not Dissolve the In
Observation-Disclosures Arrest Strikers.

Indianapolis, md, July 26.-The Unit
ed Mine Workers may try to obtain the
impeachment of Federal Judge jack
son, of West Virginia, who restrained
them from holding meetings to induce
men TO quit work, and imprisoned a
number of the OF Sanizers for violating
an Injunction. The plan of action is
not definitely outlined, but it is prob
able that the Impeachment proceedings
will be begun soon, if Judge Jackson,
after a final hearing, refuses to dis
solve the injunction.
Secretary Wilson admitted today that
the miners contemplate this course and
that a complete transcript of the case,
including the complaints and Judge
Jackson's decision, will be prepared for
submission to President Roosevelt and
the senate. The miners also intend to
give to the public the evidence in the
case.
Wilson say that the miners will not
ask President Roosevelt to interfere
with the injunction, as he says they
realize hat the president is without
power to injunction, IL the habeas
proceedings fail to release the
organizers, the president will be asked
to pardon them. The habeaS corpus
proceedings will be begun as soon as
the papers can be made out.

Our Philippine Pearls.

Our new possession in the orient reach
down to within five degrees of the
equator, where, scattered over a tropic
sea, as though Sown from the hand
of a creative giant, is found III Jolo
archipelago, say a special dispatch
from Washington to the New York
Tribune. The pearl and shell Fisheries
of the JolO waters are little known to
the world at large and only 10 a limit
ed degree 10 commerce, yet upon the
authority of expert testimony they
rank in quantity of product and posi-
biIity of development with the famed
and ancient grounds OF Ceylon and the
Persian gulf AMI the more modern
areas of Australia n Terres strait.
The fishing grounds of the JOlo archi-
pelagO are credited with contributing
today the greatest number of the finest
round pearls that find their way into
the channels of commerce. The pearls
themselves are simply a side issue, or,
rather, a b~yproduct. the pearl oyster
shell, the mother of pearl of commerce,
being the principal object of the fisher
mans quest. They weigh from one to
eight pounds a pair, some of them be-
ing as large as dinner plates and al
most as ound. They are shipped in
large quantities 10 Singapore and Lon
don. and the business. like many other
industries in the Philippines, is to a
large degree in the hands of China
men. who pay the natives from 40 to
90 cents a pound Tor the shells, and it
is estimated hat only from one half to
/ per cent OF the smells contain pearls.
Aside from The irregular and crude
fishing OF the natives. there are two
companies, one English and one Chi
nese, with headquarters at JolO, which
pursue the business in a systematic
amer, with suitable vessels, and
equip their divers with diving suits
and employ all the modern appliances
for deep sea explorations. The COM
panies named pay a certain sum to the
sultan of Jolo fol- the privilege of fish
ing, and that the business is profitable
may be assumed from the fact hat
the Chartered NH of India, Australia
and China and the Hongkong and
Shanghai Banking corporation have
extensive interests in il.
