 The resolution will be proposed by the representatives of the Lancashire ana Chesiro Miners Federation
 The miners organizations as a whole have previously declared in favor of a minimum wage, and two years ago tho annual conference passed a resolution to the same effect, but there was then no
 hint of any intention to cause general stoppage of work to get it. The delegates from Lancashire and Cheshire will press for the adoption of the motion in its entirety, and the leaders
 of the union believe that they can count
 upon the support of most of the other organizations which will be represented, including the South Wales, the Durham. the Northumberland, and the Scottish or ganizations.
 That would probably be sufficient to pass the resolution even if all the other
 bodies were opposed to 1t, which Is by no means certain.
 MT. Vernon Hartshorn one of the Welsh miners leaders. speaking to a labor meet ing at Cardiff said the labor troubles were not at an end. In fact, they were only at the beginning of things. All the events that had so far happened were mere skirmishes. The big battle was to come.
 Referring to the unrest among the min CTS, he said that in another two months, if he understood the trend of events, they were going to have a greater struggle than they had recently experienced. Tn time had come when the miners railroad men. and lockers should act like one unified organization. He had been talking to some of the leaders of the lockers and the railroad men. and they said they were ready to join hands with the miners.

Hero Risks Death in Steam Chest to
 Save Six Hours for Ocean Liner

Prem the New York Sun.
 The Cunard liner Carmania arrived at her North River slip after a voyage that took In Halifax as an unexpected port of call Also she brought in tale of cour- age on the part of the third engineer who fused around with baked machin- cry in temperature of slightly more than 200 degrees Fahrenheit in order that the ships already delayed voyage might be shortened by some six hours or SO
 Soon after leaving Queenstown the ship encountered heavy. head winds. which burned up the coal she had had much difficulty in obtaining. Also Chief En- gireer James Cruthers soon discovered that the coal he had shipped was not of the usual quality
 The second day out leak developed in a ''leal>off' pipe in the center turbine The Carmania Is a triple screw ship with three turbines to run the screws With one engine out of commission there
 was nothing eft but to come on as n
 twin screw ship. M Hr9ylsN2TTNX Put in orde. to use the remaining two
 turbines it was necessary to go into the center turbine and shut some doors The
 engine was stopped, and there was in
 prospect a wait of a few hours while that center turbine cooled off enough for a
 man to enter it.
 It was then that Third Engineer A. c. Mo Cutcheon came forward. Chief Engi-
 neer Cruthers said yesterday that he cer- tainly would not order a man to go into
 any such temperature as that of the tur- bine at that moment Capt. Dow added
 that the chief engineer couldn't get into Ii himself if he had been so minded be-
 cause he is bigger around the middle
 than the manhole of the turbine But

No Secrets Among the Eskimos
From the New York Times.
 Stefanssen the arctic explorer who hs

from tue NCW fpTk lliiitS
 Stefanssen, the arctic explorer who has combined exceptional abilities and excep- tiCnal opportunities in the study of the Eskimos, notes as bearing on the aues- tior of their credibilty in the Peary- Cook controversy, that all of them firmly believe serious misfortune sure to follow the concealment of any important fact by any member of the tribe.
 This belief. so far as can be recalled, exists among no other people, Indeed, if not secrecy, at least the power to keep a secret, is generally counted somewhere between q talent and a virtue, and this Is supposed to be especially the case among savages and barbarians
 Possibly the Esl1imos sense of obliga- tion to tell all he knows is explained by tho abnormal severity of his contest with nature and the consequent importance that every member of group or clan eherld ls~ow whatever any other member knows. Their united knowledge Is none tpn much to meet the conditions of their lives, and they share it all just they share all of their provisions, feasting or starving together.

warlike schemes for recovering the lost throne of the Braganzas they are prov ing themselves ungrateful to their hosts, the English people. Fortunately, however, Manuel. if reproved for his endeavors to get hold of his lost crown, will be able to reply that what he Is doing has years ago been approved by no less authority than the late Queen Victoria, who did not try to stop Ma poleon III from doing the very iden- tical thing.
 After the fall of Napoleon III and his escape to England the French be- came very irritated at the alleged plotting which went on upon English soil. queen Victoria denied giving any encoura cement or harborage to French plots, but frankly admitted that 1t was only natural that dethroned monarchs should plot to get back their own, wherever they were.
 The admiralty is said to be greatly wor- .red at the indisputable fact that Social ism is gainging ground among the stok- CTS and sailors of the navy to such iep extent that strike among these Is by no means impossible, though not probable, in a near future.
 Hardly a day passes when revo- lutionary literature of the very worst kind is not found on some vessel or other, and more than one se- rious attempt has been made to form a naval trade union among the stokers with the view of forcing the hands of the admiralty in case of a dispute.
 England may soon become enrolled among the tobacco growing countries of the world for experiments carried on th!s summer seem to have proved that English soil and climate, at least in some districts, are exceedingly favorable to tobacco growing The pioneer tobacco grower or England is a retired army officer Major Whitmore, who some time ago secured a license from the government and planted small quantities of both Smyrna and Vir- ginia tobacco seeds at Methwold, Norfolk The result was 1000 Turkish plants and over three times as many of the Ameri- can variety, all of the finest quality rhese were then transplanted to the waste

 The publishing of recent letter said

TheGas Engine.

/. Farmers who shelter their ma
chinery in tie field during the win,
ter are not apt to make much of a
success of the gasoline engine in
farm work. The gasoline engine is
a very handy power, and is deserv.
ing of widespread popularity 1t
will fill many inches on good
sized farm, and very few of us have
begun to know its value. But it
must be well cared for. and kept
we'll housed, for there are certain
conditions under which it operates
that are simple, but inexorable. II
will balk quicker than a mule if the
conditions are not right. Any far
mer can get valuable assistance
from a gasoline engine if he will
give it proper care.
Its care is very simple. First
comes protection from the weather.
A tarpaulin is very good cover
for an engine that is best kept out
of doors and even one housed is
better if kept covered when it is not
in use. Live batteries are necessary.
Electricity is the spark of lifeto a
gasoline motor. A clean spark plug
is necessary at the other end of the
battery wire. The mixture of gaso-
line and air must be just right for
the most effective work at the great
est economy of power, although the
motor will work and waste gasoline.
Adjustments of this kind are sim,
pie to learn and should be under
stood by the man who has charge
of the engine. A frequent cause OF
trouble is the failure to strain the
gasoline when filing the tank. Pay
but little attention to men who claim
that their gasoline is absolutely
clean, or the result will be disas,
trous. Either strain the gasoline
through a chamois or a finely mesh,
ed strainer. Good lubricating oil is
another important essential. No
gasoline engine can give its best
service unless it is properly cared
for and housed.-Farmers Union

Splendid Work Of Foreign Mis-;

Mr.. Clarence Poe, editor of the
Progressive Farmer, an excellent
agricultural journal published in
Raleigh, N. c., is making tour
of the Orient, writing weekly let
ters to his paper In his last letter,
written from Korea, he gives the
following strong endorsement of
the work of foreign missionaries:
Perhaps in no country in the
world has missionary work been
'pore successful than in Korea

ants now while there were only III
thirteen years ago, and have been
interested to learn that there is alb
solutelyn no truth in the japanese
newspaper reports that immense
numbers of native Christians are
leaving, the church since annexation.
On the contrary, reports from all
over the country are good, and
Seoul itself is just now in the
midst of a most thorough-going
and successful Christian revival,
with 1900 conversions reported
during the first ten days. AT a
Methodist mission school. / visited
this morning, I found that hun

nomination has its own sphere3of
activity, preventing duplication of

has convinced me that the criticisms
of foreign mission work sometimes
heard in America, are based on
radical misconceptions, of condi-
tions over here. Even the nom
Christians, unless they be men of
immoral lives, speak in high praise
of the splendid work of the mis-
sionaries. A typical expression is
that found in the latest issue of the
Shanghai National Review, now be-
fore me, which may be expected to
speak impartially. Referring to an
address by DR.. Morrison, the Peking
correspondent of the London Times,
it says:
"Dr. Morrison eulogized the
work of the missionaries and we
cannot conceive that anybody who
really knows of their work at first

treme cases, but as ordinarily car
