Coal Miners on Strike.

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. l3.-The
strike which had been declared in the
coal mines of the Crows Nest Coal
company at Fernie, Michel, Morris.
sey and Coal Creek, will, it is feared,
be grave in its direct effects, which
threatens to close every smelter in the
Kootenai and Bound dary country. Re-
Gently the miners of Nanaimo affili-
ated with the Western Federation of
Miners, in direct antagonism of Raj ph
Smith. NJ. P, who warned them in so
doing, that they would be imperilling
the good relations which have existed
between them and the New Vancouver
Coal company. 1t is now considered
likely that if the strike is not settled
in Fernie, not only will there be great
suffering there, but the miners of Ma
naimo may be called out.

A New Cabinet Position.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon signed the
bill providing for a department of
commerce, thus concluding its enact
ment into law. The signing of the
