Statement Of operaters.

New York, April 9.-The following Of
ficial statement was given out here to-
day by the anthracite operators COM
mittee of seven:
The representatives Of the anthracite
mine workers have declined to accept
the proposition signed by the repre-
sentatives Of the operators to extend for
another period of three years the award
of the anthracite coal strike commits
sion appointed by the president of the
United States.
THE present basis of wages was es-
tablished in a time Of greatest pros
peTity the country has ever known. In
offering a continuance Of the same
wages through years of depression, the
operators are assuming a responsibility
beyond which they cannot venture to
60.
After submitting their proposition
for a renewal of the agreement the Op-
orators made a concession in order 70
rectify what the mine workers declared
to be a source Of trouble. At yesteT-
days conference the operators acceded
TO the request that questions as to the
rates of payment for new work should
be placed under the jurisdiction Of a
board of Cancellation.
This was the one matter in which,
according to the claims of the mine
workers representa- ives. the men had
not been able TO obtain satisfaction
from the board Of Cancellation. With
this included, all possible questions I'M
der dispute between employees and en-
ployers can now be settled by the
board"

Yesterday Siayor Bransford received q

charge of the office he had found this
uDcompleted contract. providing for the
transfer to the service of the control
of all city lands within the general out
lines of the Wasatch national forest for
purposes OF fire protection and eventual
reforestation. The contract. he says has
met with the approval OF the officials
at Washington and lacks only ratification

the service. on his trip to Utah recent
Is urged that this be obtained.
The present broken boundaries OF the
Salt Lake division OF the forest, Mr..
Reynolds says, are inconvenjent. and It
would be better for both the city and
the service to handle the whole as a
unit.

NEW PRIMARY LAW.

The new primary law, which be-
comes effective on January /, 1909
will have the effect of doing away
with city and county political con-
ventions and the excitement incident
to those meetings will be known no
more by the electorate of Ohio. In
stead, both parties will nominate
their tickets at direct primary to be
held on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in September. All par
ties will hold their primaries on the
same day and voting will be at the
same place, to-wit: the booths in
each precinct used for regular cleo
tions. The primaries will be held
under the direction of the board of
elections and will be conducted just
as a regular election with the eXcep-
ton there will be separate ballots and
ballot boxes for each party A voter
affiliated with one party cannot vote
with another and If he does so makes
himself liable to the paying of fine
from So to $50. Nominations for the
respective tickets must be certified
twenty days before the date for hold
ing the primary, and a petition con-
tanning the names of two per cent
of the voters of any district to place
in nomination the name of a man
who may have. if elected, jurisdiction
over the district.

NOT OF MUCH USE FOR EITHER.
Stove Too Large for Chapel and Too
Small for Cemetery.

The heating of churches in winter
was by no means general in the early
days of New England, the warmth and
fervor of the worshipers' piety supply
ing to some degree the lack of bodily
heat.
For some years after its erection
there was no means of heating the
little St. Augustine's chapel in South
Boston, and Father Lynch, one of the
early pastors, often had very cold
ride to the chapel in winter. He ac-
cordingly suggested to the parishion-
ers that a stove would be a nice thing
to have. The parishioners raised the
money and bought the stove, which
was of generous size and quite large
enough to heat the whole chapel. In
fact, 1t was too large, for the men who
brought it were unable to get it In
through the door, and so they left 1t
just outside in the cemetery, where it
was standing when Father Lynch ar
rived the following Sunday morning.
He took in the situation at a glance
and said to the little group of parish
toner's who were shivering in the cold:
Friends, | think you must have
misunderstood what said last Sunday
about the stove. We want to heat the
chapel, and not the cemetery"

Rats Cold Weather Retreat.

Many animals snuggle together for
warmth in bitter weather-as the
squirrels and the rats. Those who go
rafting in hedges and dells in the win.
ter know they may try & dozen fresh
ly-used burrows without finding a rat
when suddenly from a single hole
the rats will come pouring out in a
stream of frenzied fur. twenty or
more rats will be together in one
hole
They are clever enough to block up
hole on the windward side-to keep
out the draught-so that when rat
hole is noted, newly stopped with soil,
turnip leaves or grass, here is almost
certain Indication that rats are with
in. Like the squirrels they store food
for winter-and the keeper may find
1t more difficult to secure his potatoes
from frost than from the attack of
the most numerous of his furred foes.

While Holland and insurrection are
playing hob with his principality,
President Castro is having fine time
in Berlin and he has furnished the
German correspondents rare oppor-
tunity for type of journalism sup
posed to be more common in this
country than in Europe and know as
yellow" Castro's doings are por-
trayed in the daily papers with great
elaboration. He is both sick and
well; fasting and feasting; amiable
and terrible, a.. in twenty-four hours.
He is reported as negotiating with the
Germans for battleships and cannon
and as desiring to employ the best
German military experts to German
ize or Japanize the Venezuelan army
1t is evident that Castro has money
to spend and that the Germans are
anxious to render him all possible aid
in swating it.

The. success of the skirmish in the
House of Representatives recently,
led by Congressman Gardner of Mas
sachusetts, possibly presages the
overthrow of Speaker Cannon in the
sixty-first Congress, or if not his
overthrow by the election of sue
cessor, it as least indicates that there
will be a sufficient majority to strip
the speaker of some of his despotic
power. The insurgents favor the Sc
lection of the house committees, in
cluding the all-important committee
on rules, by committee chosen by
the house, instead of by the speaker.
This change would be in accordance
with the principle which forbids the
concentration of so much legislative
power in the hands of one person, as
is now possessed by the speaker.

1t is definitely predicted, from ap-
parently reliable sources, that the
Panama Canal will be completed in
1915, or six years hence. 1t is GER
tain however, that it will, during the

keenest official as well as unofficial
criticism. President-elect Taft will
set sail for Panama on the 25th of
next month, accompanied by engineer
experts. Mr.. Pulitzer of the New
