him to speak to Mr.. Latson in re-

was interviewed soon, and he felt,
l think, about as did-that il
did not make much difference
where we were sent. We had no
conversation with any other divis-
ion superintendent in regard to as
signment, and were consequently,
as stated above, not surprised
when on September Ist we each
received slip of paper stating
that we were assigned to Samar.
Thus, although we did not actually
choose Basey as our field OF labor,
we were willing to accept it, even
though we thought all the time
that we could, by asking, have
been sent to some other place.
BY the 4th OF September we
were ready TO go at almost any
minutes notice, but as the inter-
island boats-at least those that
carry passengers-run very irregu-
larly, we did not leave for the
Visayas until the 22d. We were
thus in Manila four weeks, and |

ing the city and its surroundings.
do not really like Manila-no
doubt because of its extreme "un-
Amrricanness" and its "eastern
SMELL" Still, it has fascination
for me, and the month spent
there was very enjoyable.
After much waiting and mncer-
tainty we were at last officially in
formed that the Leyte and Samar
teachers were to 90 aboard the
steamer "Ascension" on Saturday,
September 2Ist, and that we would
sail the next day. During the
forenoon OF Saturday we got our
baggage aboard-every passenger
has TO see personally to his bag
Rage-and in the afternoon we
went on the ship. The Ascension
was moored in the Pasig River.
Just a little below the famous
Pnent= dc Espana, or in English,
the bridge OF Spain. During the
night we moved down the river
and ont into harbor, where we lay
at anchor until noon on Sunday,
when we at last left Manila. The
Ascension" is not very large
vessel, and II was on this tlip
somewhat crowded There were
about thirty hve teachers in our
party bound for Leyte and Samar,
while the boat can conveniently
accommo odate fifteen or twenty
passengers. Most OF the ladies
of the party were provided with
an interes; in a state room, but the
accommodations, compared with
what we had on the ''rhomas, "
were hardly worthy OF considera.
tion. Yet, Notwithstanding the
difficulties the trip was a very

OF teachers whom, among the
large number, | had not met while
on the "rhomas OF all the
teachers coming to this division,
Mr.. Latson and l were the only
ones coming to Samar, it being
deemed best to seud no more here
at that time.
Our .rip lasted about three days.
On Monday gbt we reached Mas
bate, where we lay at anchor until
morning. Our boat had but a
small amount Of business there,
however, and we soon moved on.
During the afternoon we saw

MINE STRIKE BEGINS
STRUGGLE IN ANTHRACITE COAL
REGION is ON.
357 C0LLIERIES NOW IDLE.
MINERS TO NUMBER OF $4,000
CEASE WORK.

Indications Now Are That the Tenn
pOrary Suspension Ordered for
First Three Days of This Week
viii BE Made Permanent-LOcal
Unions Generally Vote This Way.
Operators Generally Are Prepar-
ing for Lengthy Struggle and Hun
dreds of Employees other Than
Miners Arc Being Laid on.
Philadelphia, May 12.-Mine workers
throughout the entire anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania, to the num-
Der of $4,000, formally began their
struggle to-day for increased wages
and shorter hours. Never in the his
tory of hard coal mining has tie-up
been so complete, not one of the S57
collieries in the territory being in oper-
alton. There is every indication to-
night for the belief that the suspen-
sion, which was to cover only the first
three days of the week, will be made
permanent by the miners general con-
vention which will meet at Hazleton
on Wednesday.
Absolute quiet prevailed everywhere
to-day. In pursuance of the request
of the district executive boards, which
met jointly at Scranton last week. all
the local unions throughout the re-
gions met during the day and evening
and elected delegates to the Hazleton
convention 1t is significant that in
every instance where the vote of
local" became public property the
ballot showed a decided majority for
a permanent strike unless the opera
tors grant concessions. Predictions are
made that if it is decided on Wednes-
day to continue the strike the strug-
gle will be longer and more bitter than
was that of 1900, which lasted six
weeks. The coal companies in
various parts of the regions
have already made preparations
for siege. Coal train crews. telegraph
operators, switchmen, carpenters, ma
chinists and other employees numbering
several thousand not identified with
the mine workers union, have been
laid off until further notice. Some of
the companies have also brought their
mules to the surface and placed them
in pastures.
President Mitchell spent a busy day
at his headquarters. He was in close
communication with all the district
leaders, and expressed himself as well
satisfied with the way the men re-
sponded to the call for a suspension OF
work He will leave for Hazleton to-
morrow afternoon.

FIGHTING HAL BRIMBERRY.
Company With Senator Clay and
Congressman Griggs.


Washington, May r. - DR.. Ar
mold, the veteran Republican fighter
of Albany, is here to prevent, if posi-
BILE, the appointment of Hal Brimberry
TO the Albany postoffice. DR.. Arnold's
longtime feud with Mai. Brimberry
seems to have been transferred to the
latter's son, and the doctor is as much
against Hal as he has been against
Maj. Brimberry. One result of the
doctors visit to Washington has been
the temporary holding up of the APP
pointment which had been agreed up
on by the President and announced by
the Postmaster General
The points made against the appoint
ment are that Hal Brimberry has only
recently become a citizen of Albany,
having. until last July, been a resident
of Macon, and it is also contended that
the appointment of the son would sim
ply mean his being elevated from as
sistant postmaster to postmaster,
while the father would step down
from first place to second place.
DR.. Arnold presented these argu-
ments to the President to-day. He
went to thee White House with Judge
Griggs, who represents the Albany dis
trict, and Senator Clay, who went at
the request of Judge Griggs. Later
they saw Postmaster General Payne
and the appointment will not be sent
until the opposition is given full OPP
portunity to be heard.
The nomination of Capt. Helm will
be held up in the Senate until those
persons in Rome, who are opposed to
confirmation, have a full opportunity
of presenting their case.

BID FAREWELL TO CHRISTINA.
Rule of queen Regent of spain
Terminates After Years of DifB-
uIty and Trial.

Terminates After Years OF Difb-
uIty and Trial.
Madrid, May 12.-The brilliant
weather to-day encouraged the crowds
to pour out into the streets of the city
and every thoroughfare was filled with
merrymakers.
The appearance of the streets were
in strong contrasts to the scene which
at the same time was being enacted
within the palace. Here the festivity
gave place to a drama. Premier Sa-
gasta and his colleagues proceeded to
the palace for a formal taking
of the Queen Regent and to present
for Her Majesty's signature the last
DEGREES to which her hand and seal
will ever be affixed as regent of Spain.
When the Queen Regent withdrew
her pen from the parchment comforting
the Order of the Golden Fleece upon
the Duke of Cumberland her eyes were
moist. Her regency really terminated
at this time, although until the King
takes the oath in the presence of the
chambers, May II, his mother remains
officially the Queen Regent.
1t was a pathetic scene when the
ministers were ushered into the Queen
Regents cabinet. She received them
with the young King at her side.
Premier Sagasta delivered an eloquent
address of leave-taking. to which the
Queen Regent responded with much
enootion
