A STRUGGLE TO A FINISH.
Ends To-day with Conditions Tn
changed.

seventh Week Of Anthracite Strike
Ends To-day with Conditions In
changed.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 27.-To-mor-
row Will end the seventh week of the
great anthracite coal miners strike.
The lines remain tightly drawn and
neither side shows the slightest dis
position to weaken. Excepting Presi-
dent Mitchells offer to arbitrate.
there has been no proposition adj
vanced by either of the parties to the
controversy since the strike began, and
the prediction that the struggle will
be one to a finish still holds good.
That settlement of the strike may
be reached without both sides fighting
to the bitter end is by no means an
impossbility. While no Information
can be had on the matter, II is still
believed here that some outside party
is going over the situation with a view
of finding a way to bring the miners
and operators together. 1t is not un-
likely that the report or Labor Com
missioner c. ID. Wright to President
Roosevelt may suggest some way that
may lead to a settlement The publ
cation of the report is eagerly await
ed by the strikers
There was slight disturbance at the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre companys
Stanton colliery at South Wilkesbarre
to-day, caused by fifteen Polanders
who are strikers, attempting to assault
two men who We're going to work. six
of them were arrested and held in bail
for their appearance in court.
Since the publication of his state
ment last Monday President Mitchell
has given out no information on either
the anthracite or the West Virginia
strike.
II is asserted at headquarters that
the whole question of involving the
soft coal miners in the anthracite
strike is still an open one.

London, June 27.-"It's the best yet"
was the popular comment with which
was greeted the bulletin posted at
Buckingham Palace at II o'clock to-
night. A small crowd waited before
the palace until the bulletin was
brought out and when the good news
became known there were cries of
"Hear!" Hear" and cheers. Lord
Churchill, the acting lord chamberlain,
drove up to the palace just as the
bulletin was issued and he expressed
his keen pleasure at the doctors re-
port of the Kings condition. After
learning the contents of the bulletin
the crowd at the palace quickly dis
persed and the rejoicing, which was
already apparent in the crowded
streets, increased in keeping with the
terms of the latest report.
The Prince and Princess of Wales
dined at Buckingham Palace tonight
in company with several foreign royal
personages. All the diners returned
early to their homes.
The unanimity among prominent ply
sicians in expressing their opinions as
to the case of the King is quite re-
markable. All the professional opin-
ions gathered are distinctly favorable
and hopeful; the doctors regard the
danger of peritonitis as now almost
past, and believe his majesty's recov-
cry to be entirely probable.

The King Seems All Right.
London, June 2S.-The Times this
morning says:
THE King remains recumbent. He
takes with comfort the nourishment
appropriate to his condition, and keeps
bright and cheerful in spite of the irk-
someness of his enforced inactivity.
Some of his medical advisers are al
ways in attendance There is happily
good reason for hoping that his majes-
ty will make a complete and speedy re-
coverY.'
In an editorial article, the Times
suggests utilizing the return of Lord
Kitchener to England as the suitable
occasion to organize some kind of GER
emonial in which Queen Alexandra and
the Prince and Princess of Wales may
participate, to express the national
feeling of thankfulness over the Kings
recovery.
Lord Kitchener left Cape Town for

The list of members of the next House

clude all of the opponents of the Republi-
can party in the House, the Populisla hav-

much as the party had on the face Of the

The "Populists" and "silver" men have

In the South no real election took place
excepting in Maryland, West Virginia
and Delaware, which went Republican.
Those three States are not really Southern
States any more, as the Democratic meth
DDS of carrying elections in them were
overthrow by Republican laws. Some of
the Southern legislation which has dis
franchised colored men in that section will
10 doubt be overthrown by the Supreme
Court, before which it has been taken for
decision. The Republican party has been
able to carry the nation by tremendous
msjorities, even with the Southern States
counted for the Democrats, without any
thing more than the preteDse of all cleo
ton. That has set at rest the Democratic
delusion that it could carry the country by
diEfranchising such large body of voters.
fThe Southern Democrats have more
trouble in store for them, growing out Of
their extraordinary defiance of the law.
The Republican Congress, with such a
large majority in view Of the extraordlina-
ry situation in the South, makes certain a
Republican victory in 1904, if Congress
performs its duty. All depends on the
record to be made in the way of legislation.

WHERE ARE THE HARESF
What Has Become of the Big Cousins
of the Comics, Who were
Lately So Numerous.

Has the beef trust bought up the
Belgian hares? Only few years ago
we were told that breeders OF those
domesticated and cultivated jack-raD-
bits could amass fortunes, that the
skins and the fur of the nimble AMI
mails would be in constant demand at
profitable figures, while the flesh
would be so much priced that roast
pig, 'possum fat and poultry snatched
from peaceful slumbers in the dark
of the moon would be despised in COM
parison. The benevolent importers OF
the agile leapers from the European
continent were never wary of assur-
ing everybody that the Belgian hare
was so prolific that he would soon put
the stalled OK, the cornfed steer and
the fatted calf to fight as sources
of food supply, and that as delicacy
for the table he would excel in ex
quisite flavor the choicest of terrapi
and green turtle, of curried oysters
and broiled Holsters, of spring turkey,
and Philadelphia capons, of woodcock
and canvasback ducks, and even the
most delectable of Strassburg pies,
SAYS the New York Tribune.
What has become of the Belgian
hare? Not many months have passed
since his praises were sounded and
written IN enthusiastic utterances and
articles. Col. Mulberry Sellers was
hardly more eloquent in describing the
glittering treasures which might be
secured by the sale of his incompar
able remedy for the healing of sore
eyes among the swarming millions OF
Asia and of Africa than the promoters
of the Belgian boom were in reveal
ing opportunities for heaping up rich.

Founders. But on the bills of fare OF
American hotels and restaurants hare
soups and hare meats in any form are
no more conspicuous and no more in

century ago, and among the Croe'
