the Curia for a dspensatIon to enable him
to marry the daughter of a great Austrian
nobleman. The Allegemeine Zeitung as
serts that the duke consulted the leading
members of the Royalist party last summer

childless and that be desired to continue
the royal line. The Royalists endeavored
to dissuade the duke from taking the ac-
ton he proposed and pointed out to him that
his divorce and remarriage would scandal
ize Catholic circles in France. the chief
supporters of the RoyalIst cause.
1t at first appeared that the duke had ac-
quiesced in the wishes of his followers, but
he now renews his request to the Curia,
urging the nullihcatiOn of his marriage on
the ground that he was forced into the
union.
The noble woman whom the duke desires
to marry is not named in the Allgemeine
Zetung's statement but she is described as
a princess. a brilliant violinist and one of
the most fascinating figures in Niennese
society The report has caused excitement

ers' convention to-day decided TO make per-
manent the per cent. assessment on earn
ings of miners for a relief or defense fund.
Fifteen thousand dollars is to be kept avail
able at all times for immediate needs.
The initiation fee for inexperienced men
was raised 10 $40, with view to checking
the influx of foreigners TO the mines of
Ohio. The convention refused 10 concur
in resolution presented by the Columbus
Trades and Labor Assembly cOndemning
the coal-carrying and coal-producing COM
binations Of the State. President Haskins
advised the miners TO keep out of the con-
troversy, as a fight for cheaper coal did not
mean less profits for mining companies
or railroads, but cheaper wages for miners.
