STRIKE WILL
NOT LAST LONG

Punxsutawney, Pa, May BY reso-
lutions passed at massmeetings held
yesterday by members of the miners
union, strike is on in the soft coal
region of Clearfeld and although sew
eral thousand men are involved there
has been no trouble. Notices were
posted by the operators that the scale
of 1908 would be paid, but the miners
held out for recognition of the union
and collection of the check-off by the
operators.
An attempt will be made at the
mines to continue work, it is said,
because a number Of men are ready
to return to work regardless Of the
motion of the union. The operators
say that within a day or two there
will be a break in the ranks of the
men ana that work will be resumed
with full force at all the mines within
a week.

principles and secure their practical
enforcement. Wisconsin is a great
state; in it's recent struggle for better
government it has arrested the atten-
ton of the union. Let us unite in our
efforts for still further progress until
every department of our state govern,
ment, and every county and city in our
commonwealth will be as wisely, hon
estly and economically conducted as
any private business enterprise within
our borders.
Candidates for the govornorship
and other places on the state ticket
have already entered the field, and
other announcements will doubtless be
made. Such action is entirely proper
in order that the people may have the
largest freedom of choice in the selec-
ton of their candidates. For each
and all of these gentlemen l have the
highest esteem, and whatever may be
the result, l shall harbor no resent
ments, shall heartily support the
ticket receiving the highest number OF
votes at the primary election. have
entered into no combinations with
others, and shall, if nominated a1d
elected, be unhampered in my EFFORTS
to advance the cause of good govern
ment With malice toward none am
charity for ALL I submit my candl-
dacy to the judgment of the masses OF
the republican party in Wisconsin.
My time will be principally occu-
pied in the discharge OF my official
duties. and l must of necessity rely
largely upon my friends throughout
the state to carry to successful finish,
the campaign upon which We are now
entering. For the confidence reposed
in me in the past by the people d
Wisconsin, I tender grateful thanks
and assure them that if | am their
choice to become my own successor
as governor. whatever ability God has
given me will be wholly devoted TO
the public service"

PREPARE FOR MAY DAY.
Leading Paris Anarchists Placed
Under Arrest

Paris, May 1.-The eve of May first
finds the authorities concluding prepa-
rations of unprecedented magnitude
to guard the city against violence. AS
a final measure of warning a large
number of arrests were made yester-
day principally of organizers of the
confederation of labor, imperialist
sympathizers charged with fermenting
disorder, and anarchists of various
degrees of prominence. The arrests
made have served their main purpose
in disorganizing and discouraging the
violent element, which finds itself
practically without leaders for the
demonstration planned for today
Nevertheless the confederation of la
Dor headquarters last night gave out
a declaration that the demonstration
will proceed, each trade pursuing its
own course. The movement, how.
ever, appears to have lost heart, as it's
conspicuous figures are either in jail
or have taken flight.

NICHOLAS LEANS
TO WHITES FOES
PREMIER'S RESIGNATION.
OFFERED. AN0THERlL PLACE
Emperor Would Give the Statesman
Presidency of the Council of the
Empire, a Position of Dignity but
Without Power-Durnovo Still on
Top.

st Petersburg, May 2.-While the
Associated Press is unable absolutely
to confirm the story that Emperor
Nicholas has accepted Premier Whites
resignation, it can be affirmed that
White has again asked the emperor to
choose between him and Interior Min.
lister Durnovo.
News of Whites retirement, coupled
with the assertion that the emperor
would appoint him president of the
council of the empire, has been cur
rent since Saturday, but this has been
so frequently put in circulation of late
that is has attracted but little atten
ton, especially in view of the fact that
Witte was believed to have definitely
dOwned his rival, Durnovo. 1t appears,
however, that Whites enemies have
been only shamming until the loan
negotiations could be finished, and
that with the consmmation of the loan
the court intrigue for the overthrow
of the premier and the restoration OF
Durnovo to power were resumed. One
OF the chief points of Premier Whites
strength during his long struggle to
the supremacy was the emperor's firm
belief that no financial aid would be
given Russia by foreign bankers if the
premier retired. With the loan made,
Whites enemies instantly set to work
to convince Emperor Nicholas that
his usefulness was ended and that he
could be discarded like an old boot.
The Associated Press is in a posi-
ton to state that Witte is utterly dis
gusted with the turn of events, and
especially with he possibility that the
emperor might not redeem his prom.
Use dismiss Durnovo before as
sembling of the national parlia-
| ment, and that within a few days the
premier offered the emperor the al
tentative of Durnovo or himself. Ac
cording to the story, Emperor Mich
olas is lending his ear to Whites
| foes. but instead of permitting him to
drop out of public life, wants him to
| accept the presidency Of the council
of the empire, a position of dignity
but, like the one he occupied when
Plehve endorsed him in 1898, with.
out power.
The Reich, organ of the constitution,
al democrats, will publish the story of
the acceptance of Whites resignation,
the editor of the paper claiming to
have direct information that the EN-.
peror has released Witte.

General Greedy, I'VE shall be obliged
