PRINCE ARTHUR's BIRTHDAY.
Son Of Governor General Of Canada
Enters Upon Thirtieth Year.

London, Jan. 13.--Prince Arthur OF
Connaught, son of the Governor Cen
eral OF Canada and first cousin Of King
George ". today entered upon his thir-
tieth year, having been born January
13. 1888. Prince Arthur Is one OF the
most popular OF the British royal FAM
ily and without doubt one Of the most
promising. He is as much a favorite
with the present king as he was with
the late King Edward, who during the
latter years of his reign frequently
showed his confidence in the ability
OF his young nephew by despatching
him on important diplomatic missions.
Prince Arthur, like his pretty sister the
Princess Patricia, who is enjoying the
winter with her parents at Ottawa
shows no inclination 10 rush into ma
trimony. There is no doubt that some
years ago the dashing young prince
was madly in love with Lady Marjorie
Manners. the fascinating daughter OF
the present Duke of Rutland. but cir
cumstances and the royal negative
intervened to prevent a match. since
which time the prince has been content
10 remain a bachelor.

Knights Of Columbus Of Marquette Win
bx 29-25 Score.

The knights of Columbus basket ball
team of Marquette won another close
game in Calumet last evening. taking
the measure of the Y. NJ. c a. team by
the score of 2S TO 25. Although the
game was rather rough. il was a splen-
did exhibition and was witnessed by a
large crowd. The roughness was due
largely TO the fact that the referee per-
mitted the players to indulge in this
style of play. There were one or two
personal encounters on the floor.
In the first half. the visiting players
had all the better of the argument,
and al the end the score stood rs to
s I'm their favor The locals came back
strong in the second period and al
most overcame the great lead. Frimo-
dig was the star for Calumet and Ring
and Lange were most effective for
Marquette. The teams lined up as fol-
lows: a.

Tuesday has reached here. The con-

important as well as the largest gath

II will be attended by delegates repre-
senting the tens of thousands of min
ers who labor in the immense bitumi-
nous fields. which stretch from West
Virginia and central Pennsylvania
northwest to British Columbia and
southwest to Texas and Oklahoma. The
anthracite miners of Pennsylvania are
expected to be more largely represents
ed than at previous conventions, ow-
ing to the fact that the wage agree
ment of the anthracite miners will ex-
pire as we'll as that of the bituminous
workers.
II is probable that the convention
will last two weeks or longer The
matter of a new wage agreement will
be thoroughly discussed. though final
action In the matter will as usual be
left to the committee which will meet
in joint conference with the operators
next month.

Aareement Expires Soon.

The question of renewing the agree
ment with the operators, however, will
overshadow all other matters before
the convention. The present agree
ment will expire March 81 next. No
attempt is made to conceal the fact
that general strike or both the btu
minous and anthracite miners Is among
the possibilities. The situation i'm the
anthracite field is the more alarming,
as a strike of the hard coal miners is
always more serious in its conse-
quences than a suspension of work by
the bituminous miners. The district
organizations in the anthracite field
have held their separate conventions.
These gatherings adopted resolutions
demanding 90 per cent increase in
wages, a decrease of about IL per cent
in working houre without a cores
