Stone Structure Addition to Hotel
DeFrance Will be Built
This Year

1t was announced several days ago
in The Teller that Dennis Holland, pro-
priesor of the Hotel DeF'rance, would
erect handsome three story stone
structure on his property on Second
street the work to commence after the
first of the year. Mr.. Holland has
reached new decision in the matter
and has concluded to begin the work
at once He stated this morning that
he would begin clearing the lot to-
morrow and would remove the present
frame structure from the property to
point near the court house.
1t is now the purpose of Mr.. Holland
to construct a three story and base
ment structure entirely of green sand
stone. The building will be 81 feet
frontage on Second street and will be
65 feet deep. When completed the
building will contain SIS lodging rooms
besides reading room and parlor. Mr.
Holland is progressive in his ideas and
| states that two-thirds OF the rooms
occupied every night for twelve years
| will pay for the building. He says
| however the increase of his business
| is such that he is compelled to make
more room for his trade. The building
| when completed will cost approx
/ mately $4,000. 1t is very probable tha
/ the property on the south and adjoining
/ the proposed new structure which II
owned by s. Wildenthaler may alst
have a new building but Mr.. Widen
thaler has not determined on the mat
ter as yet. Mr.. Holland expects t.
erect his building so that the soutl
wall may be used by Mr.. Wildenthale
should he decide to build in the future

Grievances at Coke Brothers & Co.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 27-The de-
cision of the Coke Brothers & Co. mine
workers TO go on strike unless the
conciliation hoard adjusted their griev-
ances resulted in Superintendent Ku-
blick being present at the meeting. He
took up several hours in stating the
company's side of the controversy.
claiming that the men were discharged
because they violated a well-known
rule of the company.
AS no decision was rendered by the
Cancellation board at the session. II Is
believed by those interested that
strike will occur The miners represen-
tatives on the board will make no
statement in regard to the matter.
The check weighman question was
also taken up. the representatives of
the operators insisting that the matter
should come before the conciliation
board, and the representatives of the
miners contending that the whole ques-
ton had been settled by the decision of
Carroll ID. Wright. A serious hitch de-
velOped. and it is stated that the rep
resentatives of the operators demanded
a vote on the proposition to submit
the matter to the board. A ballot was
taken. but the miners refused to vote.
When the meeting adjourned. II is
understood no time or place was agreed
upon for another meeting. Both sides
are reticent as to the possible outcome
of the hitch.

the diplomatic demands.
The British note. as Sir Charles
Hardinge will submit it. will not men,
tion the amount of indemnity Russia
must pay the owners of the ship and
British subjects having goods on board
the vessel. but all that will be sought
will be the establishment of the prin-
ciple of indemnity and apology. A sa-
lutte of the British flag must also be
conceded and the future of neutral
shipping assured.
That the British government regards
the sinking of the steamer Knight
Commander as a breach of interna-
tional law was confirmed by Premier
Balfour in the house of commons. An
swering questions regarding the de-
struction of the Knight Commander
and the seizure of the Malacca and
other vessels. the premier said he
hoped to be in a position to make a
brief statement regarding the Malacca

Commander. he regretted that infor-
nation which reached me confirmed

four added: There is no question of
loss of life, but am afraid there is a
question of a breach of international
law"
