London, Nov. 1.-The special CON-
mittee, organized under the presi-
dency of Princess Christian, to carry
on a determined fight against the
ravages of consumption In the Uni
ted Kingdom, met here today for an
important session. The principal OBJ
ject Of the meeting is to devise plans
for raising $25O.0O0 for the purpose Of
providing sanatorium for consump-
tives on a site which has been Sc
cured in a healthy location in Kent.
The general interest in the plan Is
rapidly increasing and the startling
figures published by the health au.
thorities of Great Britain have con-
tributed no little to arouse the interest
Of the public in the matter. According
to the figures referred to over 100000
persons died from consumption In the
United Kingdom every year In Lon
don alone, according to DR.. Latham.
10000 persons die every year from
consumption, who might be saved by
proper treatment, to say nothing Of

progressing toward their doom. The
monetary loss to the industrial classes
is appalling and though there are
no figures to 50 by, some comparative
idea may be obtained from the esti-
mate Of DR.. Herman Biggs, Of the
New York nealth department. that
consumption costs the United States
$3.50 .OOO, 600 annually.
The efforts Of the committee are.
at present. confined to London. It
is the plan Of the committee to erect
a sanatorium In Kent. which will be
self.supporting, for the various friend
ly societies and trade unions guarantee
the cost Of maintenance. Under their
terms OF constitution they can only
make small donations toward the
building OF such establishments or
the purchase Of land, but they can con-
tribute literally toward the support
and maintenance Of such an institu.

Striker, At Odds.

st. Petersburg, Nov. IA Hight fall
Of snow covered the city during the
night but this morning . drizzling
rain helped to dampen the ardor Of
the crowds already exhausted BY the
demonstrations Of yesterday. The re.
appearance of patrols OF horse and
foot soldiers also exercised a restrain
ing influence. Many railroad en-
pl0yes are ready to return to work
and those In favor OF continuing the
struggle have difficulty In holding the
majority. The students and social
democratic leaders who continue to
declare that only democratic repub-
lie will suffice, are using every means
in their power to keep up the enthu-
siasm and drive the people into armed
collision with the troops. A score
of big meetings are announced for to-
day. News from the provinces shows
the whole empire plunged in great ex-
citement yesterday. Clashes and san
culinary encounters occurred In many
places. In some towns the mOhs OBJ
tanned and forced the release Jffr6ii-
tical prisoners. The C0ssacks Were
turned loose and beat the crowds at
Kazan, Kishineff. Kieff and other
places.

PREPARING FOR BATTLE

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Nov. The un-
Jon mineSS OF the. Anthracite region
are making energetic efforts for the
coming convention Of the United Mine
Workers, which will Le held In Shame
kin, Pa. next month. It II well UNDER
stood that the action Of the convsn-
tion will largely depend upon the
numerical and financial strength Of
the organization at the time Of the
convention. II ID believed that Mr..
Mitchell, the leader a. the mine work
ers. In whose Judgment they have un-
limited confidence. would not sanction
the formulation OF any demands which
might lead to q strike, unless the or.
,ganisation IL sufficiently prepared for
such severe test. For that reason the
United Mine Workers Of this district
are carrying on m energetic campaign
to strengthen the ranks Of their or
ganixation and bring its membership
to at least 100000 to 10000.
Conventions Of two of the three
districts included In the organization
have already declared themselves Tor
an eight-hour day and recognition Of
the union, the two chief objects, &C
cording to Mr.. Mitchelps statements,
which the union seeks. It II generally
believed that the demands Of the
United Mine Workers. provided their
numerical and financial strength war.
rants It, will include recognition OF
the union, an eight-hour day, the
weighing Of coal and payment BY
weight for a ton OF 1000 pounds In
stead OF the $500 pounds which -
called ton In some OF the c0llieries.
new conciliation board Of three
members, continuation Of the sliding
scale feature of the present agree
ment, and also the check weighmen
and check docking boss features OF
the agreement.
When the demands are formulated
and approved by Mr.. Mitchell. 1t Is
expected that Mr.. Mitchell and a COM
mittee Of the three district presi-
dents. NlCHOiS, DVttty uhu io"Ss'
will be appointed to visit the coal
operators in New York. to submit the
demands of the men. With the APP
proach Of the date Of the convention
tho local branches of the organization
are increasing their efforts and their
officers report that their campaign Is
crowned with gratifying success. Dur
ing the month Of October many thous-
and new members have joined the
organization and the latter Is said 70
be in flourishing financial condi-
tion. Many Of the operators express
the opinion that the efforts of the
union will not be sufficiently success
full TO warrant the union making
determined fight for the eight-hour
day and recognition. They seem to
believe that Mr.. Mitchell will pre-
serve conservative attitude and
will not lend his hand In any attempt
TO involve the union in a war which
would be disastrous without enough
numbers and money to back 1t.
