fight for no reduction at the Indianap-

A BRIEF SUSPENSION
is All That May Mark the Break in
Mining Relations.

Pittsburg, March There was by
no means a hopeless spirit shown
among the returning coal operators
from the Indianapolis convention with
the miners, which closed Saturday
with a disagreement. From the best
of authorities it is stated that the
break in the negotiations between the
two interests is not a permanent one
and that by March q another meeting
of the joint subcommittee will be
held quietly. The whole matter will
again be discussed among them and a
solution to the present difficulty
sought. 1t was further said that there
was every reason for believing that
the ultimate end of the whole matter
would be the acceptance of the lower
rate by the miners, or the IS cents a
ton base for pick mining for the next
two years. This agreement may not
be reached by the end of the present
month, but it would be soon after, and
in the meantime the suspension would
be for short time only, if at all.

Cayuaa Is "Broke."

Cayuga, Ind, March AT the
late meeting of the Cayuga town
board the salary of Marshal Wooster
was reduced to one dollar per month,
the members of the board agreed to
serve the remainder of their time
without pay and the street lamps were
orde-c1 taken down and stored in the
town building. This streak of econo-
my and retrenchment is necessary
because no corporation tax was levied
last fall and the eight saloons being
demonstrated out of business left the
commissioners without the 200 pre-
yiously secured from that source.

HANGS ON REFERENDUM
BIT One Hope Remains of Avertlng
Miners Strike

indianapolis, March THE annual
Interstate movement inaugurated sew
en- years ago by the coal operators
and miners of the competitive states
of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania came to a sudden and
fatal end late Saturday evening by a
majority vote of 500 delegates of the
United Mine Workers again the
compromise and ultimatum of the OPP
orators.
The miners vote was decided in an
executive session of the organization
in Tomlinson hall in the face of a
protest from President John Mitchell
and the other national officers. The
joint convention was then called to-
gether and on the roll call by states
the miners voted solidly against the
proposition and the operators unani-
mously in favor of it, with Indiana
conditioned on a few minor reserya-
tiOnS.
While the action of the miners does
not mean that a gigantic strike is GER
tain to take place on April /, of this
year, when present contracts expire,
it does cast aside every hope but one
to prevent the clash. An amicable
settlement hangs by single thread
and that is that the miners in final
session today refer their decision to
a referendum vote of the different To-
Gals of the four states. If the locals
vote to strike then all hope of settle
ment will have vanished; if they vote
to accept the compromise an adjust
ment may be effected. 1t is believed
that the convention today will refer
their action to a referendum vote be-
fore declaring the strike.

My heart failed me and | left Costello,

Costello shot him."
Krienke, at the time Of the murder
was staying with his wife near the

true, that the daughter Of man who

The Question of Baptism.
Assertion That This Is a Pagan Nation
Because Of Neglect of Rite.

A wri,er in a Catholic paper makes
the rather startling statement that
more than fifty millions of the popu-
lation of this country are unbaptized,
and hence pagans. This statement
implies either ignorance, careless
ness. or misrepresentation. The
probability is that the writer cid
not understand the conditions on
which ne based his assertion.
For one thing, the estimate is al
together too large. There may be
fifty millions of people in this coun-
try who have never been baptized
but il is doubtful OF course. If all
who are not members Of the Catholic
Church are TO be held pagans, and no
baptismal rite non-Catholic is TO be
considered valid, the question De
comes one OF theology pure and sim
pie: but the meaningsof the word

Episcopalians, Lutherans, and other
sects holding the doctrine OF IN

chances are that majority Of the
