1t would just as well be known
that the present campaign 10y the
Democrats is being conducted with
out money and on lines Of political
integrity. Only the money that
has been and shall be donated by
individuals will the party have.
Some persons are inclined to crll'
cize the committees for failure to
secure large funds. They ought,
rather, to be commended for their
political honesty
Corporations should be passed
by when political offerings are
sought. and only individuals So
licited. Corporations as such have
no right to contribute. 1t the
stockholders or officers individually
want to give out of their own
purse, all right; but the party that
takes from corporations will serve
them. and this we know to be true.
The historical facts are well known
to all who want such knowledge.
Ii comes from reliable source
that the Republican party will
spend large amount of money IN
each of the counties of this Con-
eressional district, which is re-
garded by the Republican mana :
gers as doubtful. Hence they will,
Just before the election, undertake
to buy enough votes in the close

Desloge Company paid its men
during the hard times following
the panic of 1893, but we are al
most certain that no other lead

ever paid such unremunerative
wages as he cites.
However, our reference was in
regard to the comparative increase
Of wages and the cost of living
within the past ten years, or under
the Dingley tariff, and we don t
think, from such statistics ms we
have been able to get hold of, that
we were very far wrong. The
miners themselves have had a prac-
teal experience in this matter and
could not be deceived, even if it
had been our purpose to deceive
them. They know whether their
wages have been raised 100 per
cent.

Doe Run Lead Company, in his
testimony before the Board of Ar

 Flfth--with respect to the standard forms of insurance contracts. we be- lieve that the statutes of the several States should prescribe the forms of life insurance policies and that no oth- CT forms than those so prescribed should be permitted. Uniformity upon this subject Is in the highest degree desirable and an earnest effort should be made to secure that result. In pre- pairing these forms he extreme of care should be exercised in order that they may embrace every legitimate contract of insurance and do no injustice to any class of comps1 s1ies.
 SIxth-Respectlng the several other subjects enumerated by this conference for discussion referred to this commit tee, we believe that this conference should not fully declare It's convictions but that the committee of fifteen should further carefully investigate and com slider the same In formulating the pro- posed regulation of life insurance com panies.
 The states voting against the adop- ton were: Delaware. Illinois. South Dakota and North Dakota. The states and Territories voting for ths adoption of the resolutions were: California, Colorado. District of Columbia. Iowa, Maryland Massachusetts. Michigan. Minnesota. Mississippi. Wisconsin, Mis- ouri Nebraka. New Hampshire. Ohio. Oklahoma Rhode Island Tennessee. Texas. Washington.

 Immediately after the adoptlon of the rcport the convention adjourned to meet at a time and place to be deter mined hy the executive committee of The National Insurance Commissioners, the convention to be held at the same lime as the convention Of the National Insurance Convention.

MINERS ADJOURN
GIGANTIC STRIKE LOOKED ON AS
 CERTAIN.
President Roosevelt Or the National Civic Federation May step Into the Breach to Prevent
 Struggle.

Indianapolis, Feb. 2.-0ne of the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed in d national convention of the United Mine Workers of America, was the final ad- journment of that body this afternoon after the dissolution of the Joint con ference of operators and miners Of the Central and Southwestern districts, and after the national convention had ad- ministered a stinging rebuke to one of the oldest officers of the convention for trausgressing one of the fuuda- mental laws of unIonism In voting con- strary to his Instruction to stand for an increase of vases.
 When the lusty voices of the miners mingled in the singing of America" had hushed. an oppressive silence fell Il on the assembled deiegates and Presi- dent John Mitchell slowly pronounced the words which adjourned the sew enteeuth anuaI convention without day thus dissolvinR every possible hope of averting a gigantic industrial war without the intervention of some unex- pected and powerful influence.
 The apparent determination of both miners and operators indicates that neither will make overtures to the oth- CT for further negotiations and as in- 1icated by the speeches of both the radicals and conservatives of both or ganizations on the floor of the joint conference, unless some information which is not now foreseen. steps into the breach, 550.000 men contro4.ed by the United Mine Workers will walk out of the mines in every section ol the country April
 There have been intimations that two agencies-the president of the ITni- ted States and the National Civic Or sanitation may pe appealed to to set in motion a Lian looking to rehabilia ting state agreement orat least the discus sion of some possible means of bring ing the operators and miners together for further negotiations. So far, however. there is nothing on which to hase an assertion that either the pres ident or the civic federation have de- cided to offer their services.

NATIONS GREATEST STRIKE.
60Os0OO Men Are Expected to Quit Work
 April I.

Indianapolis. Ind. Feb. 2.-During an interview this afternoon President Mitchell discussed some of the phases of the situation. In answer to q ques- tion he said: Yes; it is true thlt never in the history cs this country has strike of such far reaching ef- feet been threatened. It means a na- tional suspension of mining If the strike comes on at the expiration of our mining contracts March S1. and 1t in- cludes the anthracite districts"
 According to the figures given out by the national officers of the miners organization they expect the strike to bring out over 60O,UUU men-about l5O,- 900 non union miners in West Virginia and Pennsylvania with the 4oO.O00 un- ion miners.
 Of this number about 10000 will be out in the anthracite districts, S5,000 in the Pennsylvania bisurnnous dis tricts; 3e,vVV in O"io; lI,OOO in Indiana; GO, O0o in Illinois; l6.000 in Iowa; SO,OVo in West Virginia; S,UvV In .lichlgan and approximately 60,00J in Kansas, Missouri, Texas, Indian Territory and Arkansas.
 The States enumerated will be the scene of the battle.
 have said" Mir. Mitchell declared, That the responsibility of bringing on such strike was graVe
 
 have been slow to assume any such responsibility and the responsibility rests, as any one can see, on the i operators.
 The prosperous condition of the country means an increase for the miners. We accepted q decrease by our own votes two years ago when at the time we were convinced that the conditions Of the country demand ed 1t. We have ever been ready to stand right and we stand right now. When questioned about the cost of the anthracite strike he said that It's cost had been estimated by inc anthracite strike commission to he a loss of $25,000,000 of wages to tbc miners: $50,00O.000 of pronts to inc operators: $2S,O0O,0O0 loss in freIehf rates There were other items of losS that raised the total figure much over Sl0O. .0OO,0O for the strike. It lasted A little over 26 weeks"
 President Mitchell estimated that four people are dependent on every miner. On this estimate a nntionnI strike such as Is planned will aefect over 2.0O0.O00 people dependent upon the mining industry for their daily bread.

something that is already provided for by existing atatutes


 by existing statutes.
 The oposition forces hold that without the specific provision demanded by them the Interstate Commerce Commission will be ail powerful. They take the position that rate the common carrier believes to be unjust. should be regu- lated without recourse to injunction. slider The arrangement to vote Feb ruary 1s carries with 1t the agreement tc meet February 9 and daily there after. and consider the various bilis before the committee. It is expected that before that time the Hepburn bill will have passed the House. The pros poets are that efforts will be made by the opposition In the Senate commit tee to amend this bill rather than to attempt to bring one of their own bills ont of the committee.
 Canvasses of the committee have been made today by the administration for ces and by the 0 position. Both claim majority of the committee, but nei- ther side Is willing to be quoted on the line up. On the general proposition, of court procedure 1t appears that admin istration measures comes nearest to meeting the ideas of the Democratic members. If this should prove true the Hepburn bill. or the Doliver-Clapp bill could be reported out of the com mittee by majority vote; in fact so 1t Is claimed. by vote of eight to five.

Fear of Anti-Foreign Outbreak Expressed.
DIPLOMATS AT THE PALACE
Apparently No Change in Attitude
 of the Empress.
Only Organized Hostility That Can ss Seen Is the American Boycott, But Any Local Outbreak
 May Become General

Pekin. Feb. 2.--The foreign newspa. pers published at Shanghai. Hongkong and Tlentsin continue to dwell with apprehension upon anti-forelgn trouble, but Pekin gives no sign of any hostile feeling toward foreigners. The Dow ager Empress received the diplomatic body the Chinese new year. At the audience she displayed her customary cordiality. The relations between the court and the legations are in no way changed. The open agitation against foreigners is confined to central and southern Chlna and it is anticipated that troub,e, should 1t occur. will be limited to those sections as Boxer isrs' was limited to the north. Those whose predictions would carry greatest weight. however. are most reluctant to express opinions.
 Undoubtedly all China Is at a white heat of political discussion. Such iu- tense feeling as prevails on the part of the inhabitants has seldom been seen before and makes any result pos- sibIe A local outbreak may precipl- tate general hostilitiesl No organized movement against foreigners is to ho discovered. except the American boy colt. but the national spirit is growing stronger and the peculiar status of for- eiEners in China affords many points Of friction.
 The court has every inducement to preserve friendiiness with the Iega- tions. The dowager empress supporters freely discuss the possibility that she may be driven by revolution to seek shelter within the walls of the foreign legations.
