There are twenty-five more mines in

he close to 100000 tons. When in full
operation, the mines employ in every
capacity above 145,000 men and boys.
OF this number it is estimated that
$1,000 are now at work. A more ami

Worn off somewhat. In other words,
there is more work and less talk. The
nonunion men, despite what may be
said to the contrary, are slowly being
displaced at many of the mines and
the old employees fast taking their
places.

Western company continues to lead in.

en- for this the mines are in good con-

the men who have returned to work
The work of clearing up those mines
that are filed with debris from falls
is pushed forward as rapidly as possi-
bic, and the fact that they are not in

THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Took Every Precaution Not to Mix in
Shady Business.

Washington, March Pit is said
that the answer of the state depart
ment to the Richardson resolution di-
recting an investigation into the
charges made in connection with the
Danish West Indian treaty will dis
close the fact that according to the
record, the United States government
has refused to have to do with any
persons as a party to that treaty who
were not directly connected with the
Danish government. The department
also placed on record it's determina-
ton to pay no commission to any per-
sen on account of the cession of the
islands. 1t will be pointed out that
our government had no right to die
tate to the Danish government as to
what it should do in the matter of pay
ing commissions.
AS it had been assured in some quar-
tiers that the failure of Congress to
to be the price paid for the islands,
would in itself cause q failure of the
transfer of the territory, it may be
said that the construction of the treaty
at the state department is that direct
ly upon the exchange of notifications,
the islands become the property of the
United States without waiting for the
payment of the money and the failure
of Congress to make the appropriation
would simply leave outstanding a debt
of honor against us.

NOTICE WAS GIVEN.
Niels Grons Brought Word of Christ
mas Peculiar Methods.

Washington, March 27.-Following is
a statement made by Niels Gron, re-
garding the Christmas statement:
when early in February last the
contents of Mr.. Walter Christmas Sc
cret report to the Danish government
relative to the transfer of the Danish
West Indies islands to the United
States became public, a party compris-
ing a large portion of Denmark's best
and most influential men and highest
interests, realizing that since Christ
mas had in the furtherance of the
pending treaty served by direct author
ity, first the secretary of state of the
United States, and afterwards the DAN
ish prime minister. Mr.. Horring, it
would be impossible to disassociate his
efforts from the treaty, or the methods
set forth in his report from the official
negotiation: and realizing further that
if the present treaty was consummated
and permitted to take effect, Denmark
would be obliged to stand before the
world as having made use of. and the
United States as having accepted such
negotiations as said Christmas sets
forth and describes in the above men
toned report, and since 1t was thought
that that would place the people of the
two nations in an unfavorable and re-
grettable light, | was requested by the

IN THE SENATE.
Oleomargarine Still Under Fire-Pat.
terson Gives Funston a DIG.

| Washington, March 27.-In the Sem
ate today, Harris of Kansas, and
Quarles of Wisconsin, spoke ct length
on the oleomargarine bill. Harris sup
ported the measure, but urged that an
amendment which he proposed placing
tax of 10 cents pound on adulterated
butter and regulating the manufacture
and sale of renovated butter ought to
be adopted.
Quarles vigorously denounced the
oleomargarine industry as at present
conducted, as a fraud, and insisted that
in the interests of not only 100000 Of
dairymen, but also in the interest of
the whole American people the pending
bill ought to be enacted into law.
Taking advantage of the latitude of
debate afforded by the Senate rules.
Patterson of Colorado, sharplp criti-
cised the methods bp which Gen. Fun
ston captured Aguinaldo, and sought to
show that Gen. Funston's statement
published, today, that he had not vio-
lated the articles of civilized warfare
was not accurate.

OF INTEREST TO HAY FEVER
SUFFERERS.

Physicians generally recommend q
change of climate for the relief of Hay
Fever, where such weeds and flowers as
ragweed and honeysuckle are not in
digenous, as these and many other
flowers and grasses aggravate the
disease. Many localities have been
recommended, such as mountainous
regions and the sea coast, but general
~ at these resorts a great deal depends
upon the vagaries of the wind, and re-
suits are not always satisfactory, as IL
the wind should blow off shore, as it
frequently does, there is no relief.
In Muskoka and among the 10000
Islands Of the Georgian Bay conditions
are different. 1t is of no consequence
which way the wind blows. The pre-
ponderance of water area to land sur
face; the curative odors of balsam and
pine. together with the elevation of q
thousand feet above the sea, renders
hay fever an impossible condition In
these districts. Handsome illustrated

MISS ELLEN M. STONE
Deeply Grateful to American People for
Kindness to Her.

Vienna, March 21-Miss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the released American mission
airy. passed through Vienna, tonight,
on ner way to London.
Miss Stone appeared to have recov-
cred from the effects of her captivity
better than was expected by those who
saw her at the time of her release. She
said to a representative of The Asso-
ciated Press:
Il have daily become better since l
was liberated. This | owe mainly to
the fact that for many years | have
been accustomed to the air and food
of the locality where l was a prisoner.
The brigands treated me and Madame
Tsilka as well as they could. They told
US it was to their interest to keep us
in as good health as possible, as nobody
would pay ransom for US if we were
dead. Indeed, they did the best they
could.
My companion, Madame Tsilka, bore
all the hardships bravely. [ can only
say the best about her, as well as about
her husband, whose reported arrest for
completely in our abduction is quite alb
surd. The Rev. Tsilka is an honest and
intelligent man. He was educated in
America and speaks six languages. He
is quite incapable of dishonest act
The American minister at CONSTANT
nople, Mr.. Leschman, says the same
thing of Tsilka and tells me it is my
duty to proclaim this openly and loudly.
1T has not yet been decided who is
to pay the damages. l am going to
London to see my friends and after
wards 1 will go home to my mother,
who is longing to see me. | cannot say
how long / will remain in the United
States. or whether l will return to Ma
cedonia."
Miss Stone said she wanted to ex-
press her thanks to all the people ev-
erywhere who had taken such an in
terest in the welfare of her companion
and herself during the six months of
their captivity.
"All Americans and all civilized peo-
pie have our heartfelt thanks, as have
the missionaries. who are men of envi-
able energy said the missionary.
