off by the enemy on horseback or by
ambulance. The Russians were seen
conveying in an ambulance two dead
men, apparently officers, and blood
stained bandages were found scattered
around. The enemy must have sus-

Toxic, April 4.-The advance guard
Of the Japanese army in Northwestern
Korea occupied the town OF Sengcheng
Saturday afternoon without opposi-
ton. Sengcheng is on the Picking
road, eighteen miles west of Chengju
and about forty miles south of Win.
When the Japanese drove the Rus
slams out of Chengju last Monday the
Russians withdrew in two columns,
one going over the Koaksan road and
the other over the Peking road. The
Japanese advance from Chengju was
made very rapidly. It was anticipat-
ed that the Russians would resist this
advance, but they failed to do so, and
now 1t is not probable that there will
be any further opposition south of the

The correspondent says he learns
that in the first attack on Port Arthur
the greater part of the Japanese tor
pedo boat flotilla mistakenly followed
two Russian torpedo boat destroyers
which crossed their path and thus
failed to enter the harbor to complete

MINERS STRIKE
Joint MEETING or OPERATORS
AND EMPLOYEES FAILS TO ~~
=. ........-,,
REACH AGREEMENT.

Shutdown Affects Every tcolIiery#.in
the State and Over Thirteen Thou
sand Men Are lnvolved-Refusai of
the Companies to Reduce Price of
Powder and Increase Wages Of Un.
skilled Labor Cause of the Trouble.
Des Molnes, 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 1850 miners
out of employment. The conference
adjourned 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 a 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 cer-
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:
Cheaper Powder and More Pay.
First-The miners demand reduc-
ton in the price of blasting powder
from 81 to $1.75 per can. They de-
mand a uniform advance in the scale
of wages paid topmen and that drivers
in districts Numbers 1 and 4 shall re-
ceive the same scale as in districts
Numbers 2 and 3.
Second-The operators claim they
are standing by the indianapolis agree
ment and in so doing cannot submit
to general increases in the wages paid
unskilled labor throughout the dis
trict. There is no dissatisfaction with
the scale paid skilled work1nen in any
district.
Telegrams we're sent to John Nit
chell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, asking him to
come to Des Moines and aid read
justment of the difficulties.
Leading operators say the position of
the miners is untenable and that they
cannot reach them so long as they
cling to their present position. It is
believed the lockout may be the begin
ming OF long and hard struggle.

WILLIAMS THE MAN
SAYS MR.. HUMPHREYS
Sentiment Growing in Washington in
Favor of the MiSSisSippian.

A Grcenville special to the CONNER
cial Appeal says:
Congressman Humphreys, of this dis
trict, was in Greenville for a few day,
this week comforting with the engineer,
about the Longwood leyee rcvetment
While here he expressed himself rs quite
hopeful Of a Democratic victory next
fall.
"'Cnless we make a serious mistake
at st. Louis, he said, we will win
Who will be the nominee, Mr.. Hum
phreys?'
That, he replied. is not an easy
question to answer. There is a very
strong sentiment at Washington among
the leaders there, and that sentiment is
growing into conviction that the Hon,
John Sharp Williams is the man for the
place. He is generally conceded to be
the ablest man we have in Congress, and
If we win the election this fall it will be
more largely due to his wise leadership
in the House than to any other cause. !
believe both wings of the party can get
together on him with less trouble than
on any other man who has been men
toned for the place. | think Mississippi
should send a delegation to st. Louis,
not merely with the compliment of a
~fayoritc sons Endorsement, but delega-
ton composed of men who are earnest
and enthusiastic for his nomination.
Would not the fact that he is from
Mississippi make him u~navailable?'
asked the reporter.
WELL he replied, Cleveland says
the question Of geography should not
enter into the equation, and surely Mr..
would not raise it.. 1t occurs to
me that he is the man to nominate, and
1t would surprise you to know how
that opinion is at Washington. "
