party had the greatest difficulty in
getting the animal out Of its Ice bed
A wooden house was built and big
fires lighted to thaw the ice. At last
it was all removed and got to st. Pc
lerSpurB from lrkutSk.
The hide was perfect and alone
weighed $40 pounds. 1t was covered
with thick, strong hair from eight to
twenty inches long
The flesh, according to expert theol-
ogists, must have lain in the earth
and ice about 10000 years, II is blood
red and has a certain elasticity. Be-

Wiikesbarre. Pa, June ls.-Fear OF an
other strike in the anthracite coal regions
passed to-day when the mine workers and
the operators practically reached an under
standing which will result In amicable
consideration of the workers grievances.
The concessions by which harmonious re-
atoms were established were made by the
mine workers in the interest of peace. They
agreed at the convention that they would
elect their concil!ators by district votes and
did so. choosing. as was expected, the same
district presidents selected by the executive
boards.

that the operators would receive and treat
with them.

the conciliator, Mr.. Connell, the only. one Of
the operators representatives living IN

lief that a selection of the three men by a
Joint convention would not be satisfactory
to the operators. while their choice by sep
arate conventions would be.
After they had been thus chosen. he
THE convention has done all that we
asked We simply wanted to be right; We
will now hold a meeting with the miners
concilators in about 4 week and get down

held IN Wilkesbarre.
Mr.. Mitchelrs influence and the good Off
ces of Commissioner Neal were largely in
strumental in avoiding radical action. Mr..
Mitchell held the delegates well in hand,
convinced that the teChnica, concessions to
the operators would strengthen rather than
weaken the sympathy OF the people with the

therefore opposed and the choice made by

postal officials caused considerable excite
ment around the Post ONCE Department to-

ever. those named in the warrants-if the
warrants were issued-are not residents Of
Washington. They may be connected with
the New York Post Office, which has been
under investigation by the United States
Grand Jury. but it is also thought that they
may be Ohio people whose names have
been mentioned in connection with irregu-
larities in the free delivery division.
Postmaster General Payne practically ad-
mitted that warrants had been obtained. but
refused TO discuss the question. saying that
1t would not be policy to mention names
before the warrants were served.
officials who usually have correct infor-
nation of what is to happen have stated
with great positiveness that arrests of an
important nature would be made some time
this week
General Bristow refuses to discuss the
matters. and the Inspectors follow his cue.
1t is known that the investigation of some
prominent officials hast practically been
closed and that the inspectors have made
up their minds whether the men are guilty
or innocent

gated, and the report is almost ready.

happen in the New York office in the next
few days. but no inkling Of Its nature could
