Francis, presi- dent of the St. Louis exposition. who, accompanied by Ambassador Choale, was received in audience by his majes- ty at Buckingham palace this morning King Edward told MT. Francis that he had been prompted to take this step by his keen appreciation of the affec- ton and respect in which the American people always held his mother and as token of his intimate sympathy with American interests. His majesty said he thought nothing would probably be more appreciated by the American and Canadian visitors to the St. Louis eX- position than this national mementC of Queen Nictoria's reign.

Washington, February 25.-(SpeciaD There is not one chance in many of the passage of a statehood bill which would be satisfactory to the democratic supporters of the omnibus bill. It does not appear tonight that the fight is yet over or that the avoidance of sn extra session is assured. Last night it was announced that all plans of campaign of the statehood men had been aban- doned and that the forces had fallen apart. The democrats today proposed a compromise measure which will be presented to the republican opponents of the omnibus bill tomorrow. It is modification of the republican terms Of compromise and there is 8 possibility of it's acceptance. It contemplates the admission of Arizona and New Mexico jointly, the new state to be separated when it shall appear that Arizona has d populati tiOn of zoo, coo.
 If it should not be accepted the inl- Dression prevails that the statehood forces will solidify on it and renew the fight in some shape. The democrats are threatening to oppose the Panama and Cuban treaties with the omnibus bill There is no doubt that they have it in their power to prevent the r&tifica- tion of the treaty at this session.

 AGAINST KINGS

 Held in Paris

BOYGOTT!NG COAL
 OF OUTSIDE MINES
The Only Way to Unionize Workers
 of Maryland and West Virginia.

Chicago, February 25.-John Mitchell
 president Of the United Mine Workers of America, has abandoned all hope of
 organizing the miners of Maryland and
 West Virginia without outside assist ance that will bring such a strong pressure upon the operators that they will he forced to unionize their own mines in self defense. To that end a
 movement was started today in Chica-
 go to protest against the awarding of public contracts to firms handling Maryland and West Virginia coal, and this movement is to spread all over the United States wherever labor is or ganized.
 The teamsters' union has entered into contract with the miners to tie up
 the output of the boycotted mines and they will refuse to deliver it on any public contract. The first move was
 made when Samuel Gompers, president
 of the American Federation of Labor
 Albert Young, president of the Amalga-
 mated Teamsters' association, and the ! largest labor committee ever collected
 in Chicago for such a purpose, called
 on Mayor Harrison and filed a formal protest against the awarding of city
 coal contracts to firms dealing in coal which is mined by non-union men.
 At the meeting with the mayor the
 labor committee declared that if con- tracts for West Virginia or Maryland coal shall be awarded the teamsters will refuse to deliver it, and a general tie-up in Chicago will result The may or will turn over to MT. Young certified copies of all the bids now in the hands
 cf the council committee tomorrow These bids will be forwarded to John
 Mitchell who will return them. mark
 ing the firms that deal in the objection able coal. A subcommittee from the coal teamsters will then confer with 1 the mayor and the council.

THE POSTMASTER Shook of Coffee And Got Well.

It's so easy to shake off coffee and 11rn Cereal Food Coffee is served in it's place that it doesn't take long to tell the tale.
 The Postmaster of a fiourishing town in Dinwiddie County, Va, writes. Up to a short time ago coffee had me a great sufferer from constipation nerv- ousness and indigestion. About the middle of last July I quit coffee and began using Postum and ever since 1 have been improving My troubles have now quite disappeared
 ''I attribute my recovery to POstum and have induced several of my friends
 to try it. You are at liberty to use this" Name given by Postum Cereal
 CO. Ltd Battle Creek. Mich. There is a reason. Coffee is a definite poison to many persons and disease
 sets in if the use of even one cup a day is continued.
 When the poison is withdrawn and pure food beverage like Postum Food Coffee used the return to health is nat ural and prompt if the disease is not too advanced, and many, very many old chronic diseases disappear when the coffee is abandoned and Postum used in it's stead. Many of these old disea ses are hidden nervous disorders. that is coffee keeps the nerves poisoned and that condition creates and holds disease in some organ of the body Take away the cause and give a true. natural nerve rebuilder like Postum and the
 change is often miraculous.

 Field.

men. The rioters had recrossed the river on Tuesday and were parading up and down before the various coal works. They numbered from 150 to 200 men, and many of them were armed with Winchester rifles.
 They intimidated miners at work. drove away the guards of the mines. and even went so far as to disarm one guard and force him to march at the head of their procession. Emboldened by their success. they attempted to burn down the bridge on the Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad over Piney gulch and threatened destruction to other property. Last night they went into camp near Stamford City. This morning about daybreak the officers and combined posse surprised the riot CTS in camp and called on them to sur render. The reply was a shot. This was answered by a shot and imme- diately the firing began.
 When it ceased three of the rioters lay dead and many others were found wounded, two of them fatally. Sev- enty-three arrests were made, ten faii- ing to the share of Deputy Cunning ham and siXty-three to that of Sheriff Cook. All the prisoners were taken to Breckly, the county seat of Raleigh county, where ten of the United States prisoners were given a preliminary hearing by Commissioner Dunn and were held for their appearance in court here. They will be brought here on an early morning train.
 The federal authorities will try to get the state to give up its sixty-three men so they may be tried in the federal court, but it is doubtful whether 1t will be done, as the state court meets on

He was surrounded by a large party of miners armed with Winchester who ordered him to leave the place, an order which he quickly obeyed. Sheriff Cook at the same time attempted to make some arrests under a process issued by che state court, and was treated in a like manner. Cunningham returned to this city and reported to the marshal and district attorney that he could do nothing witli- out a large force and then only at the imminent risk of precipitating a bloody conflict.
 He was instructed to return with men sufficient to serve the process given him and do it at all hazards. Before Gun ningham returned to Atkinsville, how ever, Marshal John K. Thompson and s. c. Burdette, attorney for the United Mine Workers, went to the scene. spending most of Sunday and Monday there.
