OHIO MINERS REMAIN OUT.


Columbus, o., April 3.-Ths second
day OF the strike of the bituminous
miners promises no solution of the
rather complicated situation presented
by the split in the ranks of the Ohio
operators.
Not a ton of coal is being mined in
Ohio, although a number of independ-
ent operators are willing and ready to
sign the scale.
The executive board Of the Ohio
Mine Workers is now meeting in Co
lumbus, but the proceedings are being
kept secret.

IN JOINT CONFERENCE.
Anthracite Mir. and Operators Try
ing to ~ Just Differences.

New YC.A, April 4.-The subcom.
mittees representing the anthracite
operators and the mine workers OF
Eastern Pennsylvania held their first
joint meeting here during the day and
after nearly three hours session ad-
journed until Thursday afternoon with
out coming to an agreement. Each
interest has refused to make the
slightest concession, and the whole
question apparently is as far from So
luton as ever. In the meantime the
tie-up of the anthracite industry will
continue. Notwithstanding the fruit
less session and the apparently hope
less deadlock, rumOrs are still current
that a way will be found that will en-
able the operators and miners to set
lie their differences.

Madrid, April 4-General Blanco,
formerly governor general Of Cuba,
died during the morning.
Ramon Blsneo y Arenas was sent to
Cuba to succeed General Wsyler,
whose conduct in suppressing the re-
bellion in that island had shocked the
humanitarian feeling of all the civil
iEed world. He started on policy of
pacifoation, but the Cuban people did
not trust him and his experience on
the Island was not happy. When the
war with the United States broke out
Blanco did not enter upon the defense
Of the island with much hope of sue
cess and as soon as the war was over
he resigned and returned to Spain in
November, 1898 .

Beasts of Prey on Reserve
Ranges,

Wolves and mountain lions
are giving the stockmen a good
deal of trouble on the ranges in
several of the National forest re
serves. Vigorous complaints
have been made to the Forest
Service of the loss of cattle and
sheep, particularly cattle, from
this cause. Protection is sought
by the stockmcn, and the forest
service, which collects a fee for
the grazing permits, has prompt
ly assumed the task of finding
and putting into effect practical
measures to aid the cattle own
ersi in exterminating the destruc-
tive animals.
The chief difficulty has been on
the Wind River Division Of the
Yellowstone reserve, in Wyom-
ing. Some of the livestock com
panies in the region assert that
the wolves are increasing SO
rapidly that the future welfare
of the cattle industry is in seri-
Gus danger Among the pro-
posals which these conditions
have called forth are that a
bounty be offered for the ami
mails destruction. The stockmen
along the northern boundry OF
the ella reserve, in New Mexico,
and in the Wichita, in Oklahoma
have suffered almost as severely.
Last spring the government
appointed John Goff, the skillful
hunter who acted as guide to
the president during his hunting
trip year ago, as forest ranger
and set him to hunting "lions"
in the Shoshone division OF the
Yellowstone reserve in Montana
Now that the appeal from the
stockmen on other reserves is SO
vigorous. especially for the eX-
termination of the wolves, the
service has just sent an expert
into the field to study the wolf
problem. The man selected for
this work is a recognized auth.
ority on the game and other
wild animals of the country,
Mr.. Vernon Bailey. Chief Field
Naturalist of the Biological Sur.
vey, from which he has been
temporarily transferred in order
TO secure his services for this i'm
portant project.
The animals which are caus-
ing so much trouble to stock
men are common in their native
habitat, but are little known to
Fasteners who have not hunt
ed them. The wolf is known in |
the west as the timber" wolf. |
Though not large it is powerful
and quick Not only does it kill
calves and yearlings with ease,
but it attacks and oyercomesI
full grown cattle. When after
its larger prey it does not go
for the throat, as SO many
beasts do, but fastens its teeth
in the muscles of the leg, ham
stringing its victim, which falls
defenseless, But little of the
carcass is usually devoured by
the wolves. The lion" is, of
course, the cougar, and no true
lion at all. Nevertheless, it is a
large and powerful beast, cap
able of playing havoc among
the cattle.
