DEFINITELY.
-

Springfield, Ill.,. April 1.-The
joint convention of Illinois miners and
operators failed to bring about a set
tlement of the wage scale in the First
district. The operators delivered an
ultimatum in which they declared that
unless the miners accepted Scent
reduction in that district the mines
would be closed at once. After adj
journment of the joint convention the
miners went into executive session in
an attempt to reach an agreement
which would be satisfactory to the Op-
orators.
President Garrison of the operators.
in an address, said that the members
of the organization would not give in.
The position which they took few
days ago would, he said, remain in
force.
The executive session of miners,
after spirited debate, decided finally,
by unanimous vote, to reject the ulti
mat,lm of the operators.

EVERY COlLlERY IN THE STATE
AFFECTED AND THOUSANDS
OF MEN INVOLVED.
JOINT CONFERENCE FAILS TO AGREE
ASK CHEAPER pow
DER AND MORE WAGES FOR
UNSkILLED LABOR.

Des Moines, April 1.-Unable to
agree to an arbitration of their differ
ences the Iowa miners and operators
split in joint conference with the re-
suit that every mine in the state will
be shut down, throwing 1880 miners
out of employment. The conference
adjourned a session covering period
OF six weeks, the latter part of which
was devoted to an attempt on the part
OF both to arrive at some amicable
conclusion.
The split resulted from refusal on
the part of the operators to raise the
wages of the unskilled men and to
lower the price of blasting powder
demanded by the miners.
The refusal to increase the wages of
unskilled workmen, such as mule
drivers and topmen, at the beginning
of the conference extended only to GER
tain districts, but at; the close OF the
conference the operators demanded
that it should be universal and apply
to every district OF the state. Summed
up the situation is this:
SHCSHST TOWOSI GIb1 UViS
First-The miners demand reduc.
tion in the price of blasting powder
from 81 to $1.75 per can. They de-
mand uniform advance in the sca.e

ceive the same scale as in districts

= Toxic, April 1.-The action of
Russian warships in sinking the jap

last Saturday. is deeply resented by
the japanese. ..
In official circles the attack upon
and the sinking of this vessel near
Taichin island is pronounced to be a
clear violation of the neutrality of
China, besides being an act of wanton-
ness against defenseless craft.
The Hanyei Maru was an old steam
'er of sixty-four tons and had been
chartered by some correspondents of
a Japanese newspaper. After trans
ferring ten Japanese and seven Chi
nese from the Hanyei Maru the fire
of two vessels was directed upon the

magnificent structures, present
their most attractive facades. Some

ever produced by man. Another
FIVE minutes walk and the visitor
may find himself on The Pike,
street of amusement, a full mile
long, with the shows Of all nations
IN gay and entlcing array.
In the ten minutes walk. many
Of the main exhibit palaces have

its close proximity to these scenes
Of gaiety and splendor, noise and
confusion, the Inside Inn offers a
delightful retreat. During the noon
hour the visitor may retire for a
brief rest and resume his de-
lightfnl task Of sightseeing refresh-
