Scene Of Disaster.

The coal fields of Pas de Calais, in
the center Of which is Courierres, ex-
tend over an area Of 100 square miles.
The annual output is 100000 tons,
about one-sixth the entire product OF
the country. The only other mine dis.
trict of equal Importance is the Nord
coal field, on the borders of Belgium.
France is the fifth coal country in the
world. producing about one-tenth the
quantity mined in the United States,
or a little over 30,O00,0OO tons.
Courierres itself is nothing but a min
ing village, whose only claim to fame
ia that its church contains the mag.
nificent tomb of the De Montmorency
family. This department of France,
from it's forbidding aspect. may be
compared with the black country in
the north of England. Little coal
comes from any part OF France south

the authorities to pace exactly the
scene of the combat. The only crater
known on the island OF Jolo is we'll
toward the center of the island and
some distance from the capital, which
Is on the sea coast. There is, how
ever, five miles from the city of Jolo,
mountain answering closely, except
for the crater. the description OF that
in the official dispatch. This noun
tain was controlled by two dattos,
Calbi and Joakinine. The latter was
one of the chieftains who signed the
famous Bates treaty. The mountain
is very steep and at its apex is Moro
fortress which has never been taken
by white troops.
Facts Regarding Noros.
Jolo, or Sulu. is the capital of the
Philippine archipelago of the same
name and is about $40 miles due south
from Manila. 1t is the residence of the
Sultans of the Moros who have here a
large market place in which fruits and
vegetables are sold The town has
been occupied by American troops ever
since 1898. and but little trouble has
been had with the natives, those in the
lake region of Mindanao having proved
to be the most intractable.
Moro is a general designation for the
Mohammedan Malay people with an
Infusion of Semitic blood, living in the
southern part of the Philippines, chief
ly in the Sulu archipelago and the
adjoining portions of Mindanao. Mo-
hammedanism was introduced from
Borneo in the fourteenth century. The
Spaniards, who arrived in 1921, were
never able to conquer these races nor
to convert them to the Catholic re-
ligion, though many forts and a few
towns were built among them. The
Moros have always been distinguished
for their warlike character, love Of in
dependence and their 1reachery.

REFUSE A WAGE INCREASE
OHIO OPERATORS REJECT COAL
MINERS DEMANDS.
Action at Conference Believed to Pre-
sage Strike of Toilers In
That State.

Cleveland, O., March 9.-At meet
ing here Thursday of the Ohio coal
operators it was decided not to concede
the demands of the miners for an in
crease in wages. This action, it is
believed, makes strike of the Ohio
miners very probable.
The conference of the operators was
held for the purpose of discussing the
demands of the miners for an advance
in wages. About $50 operators, repre-
senting every branch of the coal in
terests of the state, were present J..
H. Winder, of Columbus, presided, and
Patrick Mcbride, of Cleveland, and f.
B. Brooks, of Columbus. were secre-
taries. The conference took place be-
hind closed doors and only meager in
formation was given out when it
broke up. The only statement made
public was that no formal action was
taken, but that those present were
unanimous against the proposed in
crease of Bob per cent. in miners
wages. Several hot speeches wera
made against an increase. 1t was de-
cided to send delegation of 100 opera
tors to the district convention to be
held at Indianapolis on March 10. Ths
delegation was instructed to Oppose
any advance in the present wage scale.
Louisville, KY, March 9.-The an
nual convention of district %, United
Mine Workers, began here Thursday,
President Charles w. Wells, of Central
City, presiding. Discussion of the
wage scale for the ensuing year is ex-
pected to continue for week, the cleo
ton of officers not being reached for
possibly ten days.

The members of the deputation which
called on the premier were genuinely
alarmed. The appeal which they pre-
sented to the premier charged tina.
a propaganda against the Jews was
openly proceeding under cover of pa
triotism and love of the emperor, hun
dreds of thousands of pamphlets being
circulated among the ignorant classes
of the population who are accustomed
to regard printed words as gospel.
The local authorities, the deputation
added, are closing their eyes, with the
result that the Jewish population is
threatened with more dreadful out
RACES than those of last fall.
