THE strike of anthracite coal mi
ners in Pennsylvania is still unbroken.
The coal operators declare that they
will not yield one iota to the miners,
and utterly refuse to listen 10 any sug-
gestion looking to arbitration. They
frankly say that they mean to starve
the miners into submission. 1t has
been thought that j. Pierpont Morgan
would help to end the strike, but he
announces that he can do nothing.
LET it alone" he says, land the
strike will run its course" There is
a strong undercurrent offeeling among
the people of the country over the ar
bitrary refusal of the operators to con-
slider the justice of the miners cause,
or to listen to offers to end the strike,
but this seems to have no effect upon
the coal barons. Even Mark Hanna
is disguised with them.
If the miners and their sympathi-
zers would use their most effective
weapon, the ballot, they could prOba-
bly, gain some concessions, but I'M
fortunately they always vote the same
old way in Pennsylvania.

THE official reports from Manila
show that since the cholera broke out
in the Philippines some four or FIVE
months ago there have been 1864
cases and 1000 deaths from the dis
ease. Efforts to check it seem to be
futile, and by the time the epidemic
has run its course the population will
be considerably less than it is now.
Cholera is one of the many evils
that we annexed when we took pos

The Republicans are slowly but

forcing payment from Venezuela that she
had no intention of occupying South
American territory, no such assurances
have been given in the latest movement
against Castro's principality. And this
time Germany is joined by England inn
mediately after the visit of the Emperor
of Germany to England, the object of
which visit was clothed so much in mys-
terry.
With a German and British occupation
of Nenezuela's ports there is no way of
telling where it would end. England
went into Egypt on just such a temp
orary mission and there she is to-day, de-
spite the protests of France. While our
government officials would scout the sug-
gestion of possible bad faith on the part
of Germany and England there is no
denying that the European powers have
lcng looked upon South America with
covetous eyes. That continent offers to
the land grabbers the most fruitful fel.
If only the Monroe doctrine could be
evaded. The landing of German and Brit-
ish marines in Venezuela to collect the
customs might be the beginning of an
other version of the old story Of the camel
that stuck its nose under the tent Of the
Arab.
When the German and English squad
rons arrived in West Indian waters they
found there an overwhelming force of
American vessels, under command of the
ablest officer in any navy in the world.
An Immense Fleet.
The sixty ships under admiral Dew
ey's command comprise the pick of the
American navy. Some idea of the
strength of this fleet may be CLEANED from
an enumeration of some of his principal
vessels gathered from the various sta
tions. Among them are the following:
North Atlantic Squadron Kearsarge,
flagship of Rear-Adniral Higginson Ala

Block of s3ui1dings Destroyed, Causing
"a Loss of Half Million Dollars.
One Of the worst fires in the history of
Atlanta. Ga laid waste nearly a block
IF buildings in the heart of the city. At
o'clock persons passing on the new
viaduct over the railroad tracks saw a
flash OF fame from the furniture store
Of the Sneak & Austin Company, on
Whitehall street. A strong northwest
wind aided the fire aud sent showers of
sparks in every direction. The flames
soon spread to the Norcross building, at
Marietta and Peachtree streets. and to
tile large drug house of the Jacobs Com
pany, on Marietta street, the liquor store
of the r. NJ. Rose Company and the
Williams Hotel. There was great ex-
element among the guests of the Kim
ball House, half a block away, as the
sparks and flames were blowing in that
direction, but the iron windows were
closed ard the guests suffered little incJn-
venierce beyond that caused by smoke
in the building. The windows of the ten
story PEERS building. completed less than
six months ago, were burned by the heat
and other damage was done to the struc-
ture. The Norcross building was filed
with the Offices of professional men and
the entire sixth floor was used as a res

Castro Invites War;
President Castro appears TO be provok

Germany. Whether he relies on the
Monroe doctrine and the Intervention of
the United States against his foes cannot

Venezuelan affairs have reached a crisis.
There are comparatively few white
British subjects in Caracas, probably less
than fifty. The CaracasLa Guayra rail-

industrial pursuits and Englishmen are

The German custom Of bringing cut

the presence of many Young Germans in
the capital. The railroad from Caracas

employed By the railroad company in
