CONGRESS OF ATHLETES.
King of Belgium is Interested in
 the Matter.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Pierre de Coubertin, Chairman of the International Olympian Committee, in a letter to the President of the Olympian Games Association, which has charge of the preparations for 1904, says that he has recently conferred with the King of Belgium regarding the athletic congress tO be held at Brussels to propose a code of athletic rules to be accepted internationally. At the congress the King of Belgium will personally pre- side.
 The Baron speaks of the friendly atti- tude of President Roosevelt who assures him that he will extend his most cordial aid and do all he can to make the event of 1904 successful.
 It Is believed that the management will include in the exposition of sporting equipment and apparatus, an exhibition of hounds and hunting horses. Charles A Carver, the famous Yale athlete, who made, while at College. the highest num- Der of points ever scored in a strength contest beating Sandows best figures, will have charge of the strength contests at the Olmypian games to be held n Chicago in 1904. He says that without doubt the attendance at the games for one month will be greater than that of any month during the worlds fair.

A dispatch from Reading, Dec. 25, says an extraordinary lunar phenomenon was witnessed here this morning by many people between 5:3o and o'clock. Across the face of the moon and extending beyond its edges. In four directions, was a cross. The formation of the cross was very distinct and. apparently. was made by streaks of light resembling the north ern lights, or aurora borealis. The appear ance of this cross in the sky on Christmas made a great impression on many of those who saw it. Some people here looked upon it as an omen foretellng the coming, shortly, of some extraordinary event, possibly the sec- ond coming of Christ, or, perhaps the end of the world.

General Strike Is On.

Scranton, Pa, May ia general
strike of anthracite miners was ordered
for today. The order is signed by
the district presidents and secretaries
There is not particle of question
that the miners will religiously obey
the order and that not so much as
shovelful of coal will be mined in the
Lackawanna valley today. While the
committee meeting was on President
Mitchell was summoned to answer
long distance telephone message. He
was gone for half an hour. Reports
had it that he was in communication
with Senator Hanna. He refused to
say whether or not this was so.

An Impending BIG STRIKE.
Operators Refuse to Recognize the
Labor Unions.
FEDERATION is DISCOURAGED.

Washington, May S.-One of the
greatest labor strikes in the history of
the United States is now threatened.
If it takes place something like 40, 900
or lao, 900 men will leave the anthra-
cite coal mines in Pennsylvania This
great calamity it threatened because
the owners refuse to recognize the
labor unions of their employees. They
still insist that they will deal only
with individuals.
Senator Hanna, chairman of the civic
federation said they had even refused
to recognize the civic federation in a
manner which would enable that or
ganization to bring about peace.
Although Senator Hanna was not
speaking for publication, as he is ex-
tremely careful in such matters, ne
intimated to his friends that in his
Judgment the attitude of the operators
was little short of criminal He says
the day is past when any employers
can honorably refuse to deal with the
representatives selected by their en-
ployes, whether organized in union
or not. Capital claims the right to or
ganize, to combine; labor has the same
right. Any assertion to the contrary
belongs to a past age and is barbaric
In this sense the owners of mines and
other property have not right to do
what they like with their own, in SEN
ator Hapna's opinion. They owe an
obligation to society in general. When
Mr.. Hanna left here he was much dis
couraged over the outlook and feared
that great strike was impending.
The operators in the anthracite coal
region have persistently refused to
recognize the union. During the strike
of 1900. they maintained this attitude,
despite all the pressure brought to bear
upon them. In the end they made
some concessions as to wages and con-
ditions, but they did not.recognize the
union.
