If the bill authorizing the laying of
q cable between the United States and
the Philippines, now pending in con-
gress, is passed at this session, Uncle
Sam will soon perform the prestidigi-

good American dollars into copper
wire, gutta percha, jute yarn, tar and

Queen wilhelmina of Holland. u

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, I'M
like several other European SOW
ereigns, can leave her dominions when
she likes, and is at no time obliged
to remain in her kingdom. In this re-
spect she is more fortunate than, for
instance, the young ruler of Spain and
his mother, who can not leave the
peninsula without previously obtain
ing a full-fedged permission from the
national legislature. The only obli-
cation placed upon Queen Wilhelmina
in this respect is that of spending a
minimum of 10 days each year at Am
sterdam. which is the real metropolis.

REPORT OF SCALE COMMITTEE ADOPTED

Adoption Of Resolution GivanE

to Grant the Concessi0ns Demand
ed In the Wage Scale.

Shamokin, Pa, March 24.-Differ-
ence of opinion on matters pertain

final adjournment Saturday of the
convention of districts number l., z
and 9 United Mine Workers. After
being in session for three hours Sat-
urday morning the convention adj
journed to meet Monday, and many OF
the delegates assert that conclusion
will not be reached that day.
The convention is meeting in the
Opera house and the delegates were
unable to secure hall for an after
noon session. President Mitchell an
nounced that the report of the scale
committee had been adopted, but de-
clined to state the nature of the mat
ter under discussion. 1t is understood
that committee was appointed to
draft resolutions covering the scale
committees report. These resolutions,
it is said, will be presented Monday.
The conservative element, compris-
ing majority of the delegates from
districts and 9, is known to favor re-
ferring final decision to committee
composed of President Mitchell and
District Presidents Nicolls, Fahy and
Duffy. This proposition is opposed by,
what are known here as the radicals,
who represent. principally, district
No. 1, composing the Wyoming and
Lackawanna regions, and few OF the
delegates from the two lower dis
tricts.
These delegates insist on the adop-
ton of resolution allowing the OPP
orators until April in which to grant
the concessions demanded in the wage
scale, and, if this time limit is fixed,
they say they have no objection to
placing the matter in the hands of the
committee named.

The statisticians report that commod-

Of meat contributes good deal to this
advance, though breadstuffs have been
high too. Articles Of luxury like good

Not until very recently has any a.
tempt been made to taEc away the
apparently inexhaustiblc quantities OF
ice which have been found in the
caves near Flagstaff. Now, however.
it is intended to literally mine or
quarry the ice, and the promoters OF
the schcme declare it will prove
great profit producer from the very
outset, as they expect to secure ice
enough not only to supply the stores
of smaller stations, towns and lumber
camps in that vicinity, but to provide
a supply for the railroads Of northern
Arizona and New Mexico, even into
California, as in the vast region or
