trict say that the suspension order of
President White had been obeyed.
Non-union miners have Joined with the
union men and the tieup is absolute
and complete. The men believe that
public sentiment is on their side and
that it is recognized that the present
wage scale, which has been in force
ten years, has not kept pace with
the advanced cost of living
While none Of the operators would
discuss the subject it was stated that
with the exception Of President Baer

the leading mineowners realize that
they will in the end have to advance
wages and they believe it best to do
SO before than after titanic labor
struggle.
While no trouble is feared the Penn
sylyania state constabulary is in readi-
ness for duty anywhere. They are
not likely to be needed. In many
places the miners themselves agreed
to see that company property was pro-
tected if the companies would refrain
from bringing in professional strike
breakers under the guise Of guards.
This most OF the companies con-
sidered fair and will respect the

Ammunition To Recruit Army
From the RuraIes.

Washington. - President Francisco
Madero. Of Mexico, has decided upon
vigorous campaign against the rebels
and the American government has
consented to permit the shipment from
the United States Of arms and am
munition for his soldiers.
1t is the Intention of President Ma
dero to replenlsh his diminished ar~v
with fresh recruits, throwing them
around the strongholds Of the rebels.
'rhe serious problem of arming them
has been simplified by decision OF
the United States authorizing by spe-
Cial permission in each case the Mexi-
can government to purchase munitions
of war here and ship them across the
border. Under this policy three con-
signments of arms and ammunition al
ready have gone into Mexico.
The joint resolution of Congress,
under which President Taft's recent
proclamation forbidding the exporta-
ton of munitions of war was issued,

Taylor, OF Tennessee, died at Provi-

morning following protracted illness
and severe operation for gallstones.
Two weeks ago the sickness Of the
distinguished Tennesseean became
alarming and arrangements were made
for an operation at the time, The at
tending physicians decided, however,
that the patient was unable to stand
the ordeal. and the operation was put
off. Less than a week ago the Sena-
tors condition grew worse, and on
Thursday night it was decided that the
stones must be removed. DR.. Harri-
son Crook operated, and while the
Senator survived the shock he was un-
able to take nourishment from that
time on and his death is ascribed
largely to starvation.

II is a hair century since Ericsson's

passed the anniversary OF that event.
It was an evolution in the art Of naval
armament which at the time seemed

Monitor did for us In the crisis which
Il was designed to meet is matter OF
history, says the Boston Post. That
low-lying. vicious craft was perhaps
the salvation OF our navy. But what
: change in the years that have since
elapsed! The Monitor type has gone
TO the scrap heap. and the massive.
towering, stupendous dreadnought has
taken its place. Torpedoboats have
come in. followed by torpedo de-
stroyers. And the range Of naval op-
eration5 has been extended. Every
maritime nation has equipped itself
with submarines. and the very latest
q submarine that can fight above
the water and descend with safety
after delivering the fire Of Its battery.
