ested In the cooperative project IN.

can says:s

Of cooperation which has been foa-
fered ~ the. BIO Grade wooden

head OF that establishment. John

agreed to use the products OF the

duce the labor organization he rep.
resented to use the product Of the

tive plan. The Las Vegas Optic thus
expounds the scheme:-
The Rio Orande wooden mills pro-
duce cloth Of excellent quality. Home
wool IL used exclusively. and as labor
u much cheaper than In the East. the
cost Of running the plant Is not ex-
cessive, It has been found difficult
to enter the eastern markets in COM
petition with the big eastern mills. al.
though all the product thus far manu-
featured has been readily disposed Of.
Bit the supply Of raw material and
every other consideration except, the
all important n Of q ready market
have shown that q much bigger plant
than the n now in operation can be
maintained at albuquerque. Hence
the cooperative movement which Is
proving successful beyond the hopes

FROM InE WIDE WORLD.

As Congress has decided that Phil
ippines have no rights in the case
that the trusts are bound to respect,
we place news from there in the
Wide World column. A bill has pass
ed there to prohibit the Importation
OF opium into the islands after March
3, 1908. Until then habitual opium
smokers, those who cannot live with
out the drug, are to be licensed, and
the license applies only to the Chi
nese. 1t is unlawful TO sell opium to
a native Philippine except for medi-
cinal purposes, and the law penalties
any use of the drug unless prescribed
by physician. How about trying
the same law here?
General Corbin, who has just re-
turned from Asia, says there will be
no war with China. He says that
the disturbances there have been
greatly exaggerated by reports, and
they are not Of magnitude to break
the peace between the nations.

Question of Resembling 1t to BE
Discussed by the Special
Miners Convention.
THIS IS THE STUMBLING BLOCK.
Unless II Is Rejected There Can Be
No Joint Conference With the
Coal Operators.
Resolution Provides That Contracts
Must Be Signed in All Districts
Under Organizations Control
At the Same Time.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 1.-THE
resembling OF the Ryan resolution VIII
be the most important business to
come before the special national con-
vention OF the United Mine Workers
which opened at the German house.
Until this is done there can be 10
Joint conference with the operators,
who will come TO Indianapolis next
week.
This is the effect OF the announce
ment by the anthracite operators that
they will not accede to the demands
OF their employees. The refusal OF the
anthracite operators to treat further
with the miners makes a settlement
with the union In Districts !. and 3
out OF the question. The Ryan resolu-
ton, adopted by the miners just be
fore the adjournment of their regular
national convention. provides that con
tracts must be signed In all districts
under the control OF the organization
at the same time or that no agreement
shall be entered into.
II Is conceded that as no overtures
for Joint conference OF the miners
and operators OF the bituminous field
have been made by either party, such
a conference, II one Is held, must come
about as a natural development OF the
meetings Of the opposing forces being
held In indianapolis at the same time.
But the first inquiry the operators will
make will be: lis the Ryan resolu-
tion sim in forcq9n
Miners Still Hopeful.
II Il Is replied that IL is. then the
operators will refuse to begin a joint
conference that would not be able to
ratify an agreement, even II one could
be reached. There is a glimmer OF
satisfaction on the faces OF the mem
hers OF the miners national executive
board which indicates that they be
lleve there is yet hope for a settle
meut with their employers and that at
least that part of their demand which
relates TO a substantial increase In
wages" viii be granted. None of them
will discuss the subject to any great
extent, but Il is easy to see that they
are In a better frame of mind than
when they left indianapolis six weeks
ago.

confined to his home at Bridgeport, o.,

After Being Partially Confined
For Twelve Hours the Fire
Burst Forth Again.
IMMENSE HOOD A MOLTEN MASS.
A Veritable Mountain OF Flame Is
Now Pouring Forth From the
Well UnmOlested.
Trees at a Considerable Distance,
Which Had Put Forth Leaves
as a Result Of the Artificial
Heat, Are Burning.

Caney, Kan, March 1.-THE great
gas we'll six miles from here which
was capped Monday with huge iron
hood after II had burned without re-
stralnt for II days, consuming millions
OF feet OF gas, burst forth again Tues
day. After having confined the fire
for u hours, the hood was perforated
by the tremendous force OF sand and
fame beneath II and soon became a
heap of scrap iron.
Conditions at the burning gas well
we're worse Tuesday night night than
at any time since the fire started A
veritable mountain OF flame is now
pouring from the well and the hood
and the huge system of pipes which
we're Monday used in a vain attempt
TO cap the gasser are either a molten
mass CT are warped and twisted by
the intense heat. Trees at a consid-
cradle distance, which had put out
leaves as a result of the artificial heat,
are now on fire. After the sand cut
through the hood it collapsed so rap
idly that not even the truck and sys-
tenn OF pipes resting upon 1t could be
removed from danger. But the loss
OF the hood and almost the entire sys-
TEN Of connections does not appear to
discourage the men in charge, as they
are now engaged in the construction
OF a new hood and material is on the
way to replace the other parts which
have been rendered useless by the
heat.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION.
Three Villages in the Samoan Group
Completely Destroyed.

Honolulu, March 1.-THE officers Of
the steamer Sierra. which has arrived
here from Sydney. n. S. W., via Sa-
moa, reports that the eruption OF the
volcano on the Island OF Savaii, Of the
Samoan group, continues on a large
scale. Three villages have been com
pletely destroyed, including Malaeola.
where was located the finest cocoa
plantation on the island. The resi-
dences OF A. King and C. Barley have
been reduced to ruins and are a total
loss.
The lava from the volcano is flowing
into the ocean in a stream, three-quar-
ters OF a mile wide and 20 feet deep,
at the rate OF 20 feet an hour. At
night a solid wall OF molten lava five
miles long can be seen reaching far
out into the sea. For some distance
ahead the sea water is boiling and
the surf breaking over the fiery
stream. The government recently
chartered the steamer Maori to re
move women and children from the
zone OF danger.

measures that the President consent.

the bonds OF possibility that the
President may come out directly for
a revision Of the tariff and throw the
whole matter on Congress. He would
find a strong party within Republi-

probability enough Of a following
among Democrats from principle to
justify him in doing this.
II is the belief of the Kentucky
