STRIKE WILL BE GENERAL
Owners will Not Accept All the
Terms Demanded.

Essen, Germany, Jan. 17.-Delegates
representing large number of the
disaffected miners decided at a meet
ing here on a general strike regard
less of the partial concessions offered
by the mine owners The miners lead
ers among whom the report was circu-
lated that the emperor and the govern
ment were anxious to settle the strike
weer not affected thereby. They aver
that the strike can be settled only
through justice. The socialists control
the miners action. The Association
of Mine Owners rejected the demands
Of the strikers Notwithstanding the
efforts of an important minority.
Emperor William has interviewed per-
sonally in the strike. While dining
with Commerce Minister Moller Friday
the emperor talked over with him the
spread of the strike and the certainty
that German industry would be ire
mendously affected should 100000 men
quit work. The emperor said it was
the duty of the government to bring
it's judgment and authority to bear on
the mine owners and on the miners.
Herr Moller communicated with the
mine owners and obtained their con-
sent to yield on some points of the
mems demands, although they re-
manned firm on others.

REACTION AGAINST DIVORCE

The country as a whole is expert
encing a wholesome reaction against
the free and easy divorce system
which has brought so much re-
proach on America. States are
modifying the laws which in so
many instances have practically in
vited the filing of petitions. Even
South Dakota has heightened the
time necessary to secure residence.
Courts, responding to the general
impulse, are being more careful
against abusing thel '0discretion
lodged in them-are more vigilant
against collusion-more insistent
that proof Cshall be complete. In
social life there is a tendency to go
back to the old opinion which re-
garded divorce as a disgrace and
visited obloquy on the divorced.
The pendulum which so long swung
one way is now swinging in the
other direction.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gov. La Follette's message to the
Legislature was shortened for oral
delivery, but an unabridged version
in pamphlet form was handedssto
the members. 1t makes a printed
document of ia pages. There is an
average of something over 400
words to the page, which means not
far short of $4,000 words in the
message-and many of them ale
long words at that. The message
is in fact a treatise, discussing vol
uminously, if not exhaustively, a
number of importanta subjects,
particularly that of railway regula-
ton.
Despite the stand in favor of
selection by the people at primary
elections of all1candidates for office,
from aldermen to governors, which
he took for many years, the gov
ernor is stoutly against Gan elective
railway commission. OHel suggests
chat confirmation of gubernatorial
Nominations or members of the
commission may be required from
the Assembly as well as from the
Senate.
The message will be carefully
read by those who have time and
taste for official literature of high
lyspiced and controversial charac-
ter. By those disposed tot criticiz Q
it, the message should first he cafe
fully read. 1t is probably the long
est executive message ever delivered
to any legislative body in the United
States.

The case grew out of charge of VIC

. GAME OF BLUFF Is PROPOSED
Provided That Cortelyou Objected to the
Plan Outlined.

The instructions then go on to say
that-'We will then get in our work
of getting congressman and candidates
to commit themselves to vote for the
bill. We will then get out the Free
Delivery News with an extra whooping
up of Overstreet. that he is not such
q bad fellow, after all, and urge the
carriers to support the whole ticket.
But II CortelyOu does not agree to this
plan, then we must do our turn in a
game Of bluff-say to him that we will
support the head of the ticket. but as
We have nothing to expect from a Re-
publican house we will support the
Democrats for the remainder of the
ticket"
+ The comment is then made: 'sTt is
bold plan, but it is better to go along
than to stand still. Both political par.
ties think and believe we have much
more strength-many more members
In our organization and a more per-
feet OrganiZa tion-then we really have.
This is very much in our favor, and all
comes from the quantities of kilograms

Carrier Cunningham reported to Car
rier lumber by letter from New York
on Oct. L., 1904. as follows: II seen
Cortelyou today and he said he had /
long talk with Overstreet, and that he
could not give me any encouragement,
as Overstreet would not commit him
self. l seen Mr.. Taggart this after
noon and he talked as though the Dem
Ocrats would without doubt pass the
bill if elected. l told him, however,
that we could only support Demo
cratic house. | will met him again to-
morrow morning"
After meeting between Cunning
ham and lumber in Buffalo, Oct. 1S,
1904, long circular letter to carriers
was prepared by lumber. In it he
says: II have presented to you the
advice of the executive board. 1t is
their best judgment that all carriers
and their friends should support the
head of the Republican ticket, but a
Democratic house."
