AT THE FRONT.
A Considerable Increase in Range Of
Japanese Artillery.

Huanshan, jan. 1s.-A considerable
increase has been noticeable the last
few days in the range Of the Japanese
artillery. This fact affords ground for
the belief that part Of the heavy guns
used in the siege Of Port Arthur have
been sent north. Chinese confirm this,
and even designate points Of probable
concentration of Japanese siege guns.
1t is not believed, however, that any
eleven or nine-inch guns have arrived
and been placed in position, ~
The last three weeks Of mild weather
have favored Japanese operations
The Japanese are utilizing the Sim
nintin railway, not only for the for
warding Of military supplies, but also
to flood the province Of Mukden, by the
aid of Chinese, with goods of Japanese
and American origin, which find ready
sale owing to the want of others.

GERMAN MINERS sTRIKE.
Number Of Men Now Estimated a. out

Berlin, Jan. 204 q. The vor-
waerts this morning estimates the, num-
ber of strikers in the coal mining dis
tricts at 24oOOO. The news from the
scene Of the strike shows no change
in the situation. Several cases of min
or disturbances are reported.
Sentiment appears to be drifting in
favor Of the strikers, the refusal Of the
mine owners association to negotiate
with the operatives being regarded as
an affront to the government.

JOHN MITCHELL ACCUSED
CHARGED WITH SELLING OUT
COLORADO STRIKERs.

acy with the Mine Owners-aiiners'
President RepIies-TelIs why Ma
tionai Support Was Withdrawn
100000 Poured into Colorado for the
Men--sentiment Favors Mitchell.
indianapolis, Jan. 19.-In the national
convention of the United Mine Workers
Of America to-day John Mitchell pres
ident, was accused by Delegate Robert.
Randall, Of Wyoming, Of having sold
out the Colorado striking miners to the
operators, of having been traitor to-
the miners organization and Of having
entered into a conspiracy with the mine
owners, d. M. Parry and Governor Pea
body's peace organizations, to ruin the
Colorado miners and to lose their re-
cent strike.
President Mitchell took the floor and,
after denying the assertions, gave some
of the reasons why the national miners
Organization had Withdrawn its support
from the Colorado strikers.
/ Randall had said that President How
ell. of the district asked for $4,000 to
promote the strike, offering to win or
lose it on that amount. Mitchell, re-
ferring to this, said: Howell did not
ask for the money and declared If he
had he would not have got it; that he
would not trust him with it,
He charged President William HI.
Howell, and former National Board
Member J. l. Gear with unfairness. He
told how he forced Gear to resign his
office because Gear, he said; admitted
that he was to get $1,000 from brokers
for advance information concerning the
close Of the strike. He also told Of
Howell's leaving Gear in charge of the
strike for a time last year, and said
that in two weeks Gear drew $4,000 of
the organization s money for the strike.
Mr.. Howell" declared Mr.. Mitchell,
lis not a safe witness against any
body. 7
. He told how the first and last money
sent to the strikers was appropriated
by the officers to pay their back sal
aries.
Mr.. Mitchell's statements showed a
generally bad situation. He said that
after 100000 had been poured into Col
orado the spirit shown by the miners
of the state was such that he had rec
commended a settlement and that ma
tional aid be Withdrawn. He would do
the same thing again under such cir
cumstances He said he was ready to
get out IL it was thought best, and re-
ferred to the fact that for six years
he had not asked for reelection.
f There were speeches by Vice Presi-
dents T. l.. Lewis, Patrick Dolan CIT
Pittsburg, w. r. Faidly, who was in
charge of the stike, and secretary w.
b. Wilson.
In these speeches it was alleged that
the Colorado strikers had wanted a
per diem for remaining on strike; that
they bled the national treasury under
every pretext, and that instead of starv-.
ing they received more money than the
anthracite strikers got, figured on a per
capita basis.
The feeling among the delegates was
almost unanimously in favor of Presi-
dent Mitchell

CONFINED TO BARRACKS.
ofricers and Men Of Battery Under Sc

st. Petersburg, Jan. 2o.-4:10 a. H.
In spite of the official statement that
the cannon shot which yesterday might
easily have wiped out the whole of,the
Romanoff family was the result of care
lessness and leaving a shotted cartridge
in the breach of gun after target
practice, the mysterious case is still
under the combined investigation of
the military and police, and the public
seems as little inclined as the authori-
ties to accept the, published version.
The officers and men of the battery
have not been arrested, but are confined
to barracks, and by the military reg
allations are SO closely under restraint
that it is impossible for the cuipr1t' or
culprits to escape until the responslpill-
ty is determined.

The application is, therefore, as binding
as the policy you hold, but very few
companies issue copy of it to the pur-
chaser.
Upon my inquiring for the applica-
ton, my friend informed me that he
had no such article, but he guessed he
did sign sonns~ sort of paper. which the
agent explained was a mere 'old-line'
legal reserve form, and really had moth
ing to do with the policy itself.
II could find nothing unusual in the
contract, but it was plain to me that
there was a snake in the grass some
where, and ] was not lcnf, in making up

the local agency of the company that
I was in the market for about 5000

give me seven annual premiums on a

if they would please send a representa-

Found Discussing Change.

He had accompanied me for fully
week, when one day I happened to go
into n cigar store, where I found him
discussing a matter Of change with the
proprietor. He had purchased Is cents
worth of cigars and had handed the
merchant a $40 bill. The latter had
placed the bill in his money till and had
laid out four 81 bills and 20 cents in
change and was searching for S. bill
to make up the balance. when suddenly
the young man said:
by the way. I have quarter IN
change, 50 just give me back the $40
bill
He then gathered up the four one
dollar bills and the silver pieces, and
put them in his pocket, together with
the $40 bill thai the merchant had
handed back to him. In his confusion
the merchant, 10Y the time being, over
looked this. Stni, as he afterward ex-
| planned to me, he Kept thinking there
was something queer about that change
transaction, and although, after count
! ing his cash. he was still not quite sure,
! he called to the young man as he was
ABOUT To- the store and said:
Young man, l think when you and I
were making change few minutes ago
there was an error in your favor II

the matter again.
1t was lust when they were in the
midst of the discussion that 1 appeared
on the scene.
The moment the merchant pointed out
the different phases of the transaction

getic way: by Jovei you are right
but / never should have known il. as
