Denver. Aug. ANY possibility
of strike among the coal miners in
Wyoming during the mex, two years
has been eliminated through a new
scael of wages just promulgated
and 5000 miners are assured con-
tinuous work for that period The
agreement has already been signed
by the officials OF the United Mine
Workesr OF America and the opera
tors.
at the end of the two-year contract
there is an agreement there shall be
no shutdown or walkout until con-
ferences can be held TO adjust possi-
Bile differences.
The new wage scale provides for
an increase of % per cent in wages
paid leaders. but the leaders will do
their own timbering and track-lay-
ing. The operators have done this
before. Miners will be paid one-half
cent per ton per inch for hundling
rock exceeding three inches in thick
ness. Heretofore they received moth
ing.
Pick miners will get an increase
of one cent per ton. All day labor

will get an increase of from sc to

The coal miners of Colorado. that
is. in some districts. are not entire
ly satisfied with existing conditions.
and are continuing to seek improve
ments and reformations as to treat
ment as well as to prices. Officials
of miners are still working on plan
to settle differences in the northern
fields as well as those in the south
ern district, but thus far little pro-
gress has been made.

to see some hope that the decline may

That ihis decline has begun. writes
the baron. must be observed by any
person who visits America after an
absence of a few years The change
for the worse has been very rapid
The scenes that have attended the
republican campaign for the presiden,
tial nomination are but one indication
of the change. which is marked by n
hitherto unknown Indifference. a ten
dency to let things take their course;
by an unhealthy and excessive self
appreciation and a general eoarsen-
ing of moral views. All these. says
Baron Won Barnekow. are products
OF the last few years The moral
eoarsening has worked down from
the top. from The newly rich Anoth-
er indication of decay is the alleged
fact that the American intolerance
of the drone. Of the gentleman of
leisure. is beginning to disappear.
Suggested as a possible contributing
cause OF the decline is the fact that
the birthrate among the old Ameri-
can families is falling of. while 1t re-
mains nigh among the South Euro
pean immigrants The old families
of the New England states and of the
south have as yet been less affected
by the demoraliZing tendency Of
present American affairs than the
people of any other section.
Ii is, however in the farmers of
the United States that Baron Won
Barnekow sees a possibility of ar
resting the downward movement As
yet, he says. they have not been
touched by the moral decline. The
dwellers in the country. he declares.
represent today throughout the re-
public the dependable. conservative
elenen;, In which an upright Chris
tianity and q high standard of family
life have been preserved; they rep
resent the most Industrious and de-
serving portion of the whole popula-
tion of the country" An especial
word of praise is spoken for the Ger
man-American farmers.
The attempt OF n party CT Russian
emigrants to America TO gain the
land of liberty and opportunity with
ont paying the Russian passport fees
resulted in the death of Two sol
diers OF the frontier guard in an in
ciuenl reported from ScnhhdilchiHS
ken. a village on the East Prussian
border. which is one of the main cen
ters for running the frontier with
out passports. Ihe party had arrang-
ed with the sentry on post for unmo-
Tested passage at the usual rste of
S1.50 per head, but their man was
relieved before the emigrant APP
peared. He remained in hiding near
the spot, and when the party appear
ed endeavored to force his successor
to divide the money with him. Fail
ing in this, he fired shot to call the
guard and stop the emigrants,
whereupon his comrade first killed
him and then committed suicide.
When the guard arrived the emf
grants were in safety on German
territory and the only bodies of the
two soldiers were found.

Berlin. Aug. Emperor William
has just made a speech designed to
curb the two aggressive spirit of
those Germans who wanted TO see the
German flag raised over part of
Morocco last year. This speech.
} which was made at a yacht regatta
banquet at Hamburg and was largely
addressed to Hamburg merchants.
contained pointed reference TO the
Agadir tincident. The passage in

old Hanseatic principle craven on the
town hall at Lubbock: The little flag
Is easily bound to the stan but IL
costs much to haul 1t down again
with honor"
The emperor went on to say that
he could claid that during his
reign, the honor of the German flag
had never been insulted from any
quarter; then. addressing himself to
the Hamburg merchants present he
added. II pledge you. and | stand for
II. that my flag will follow you
wherever you lead the way" This
latter remark shows that the emper-
or does not believe in the old politi-
cal maxim that trade follws the flag.
He is less aggressive. and is con-
tent to have the German flag follow
trade.

a good idea of the great expense
In the naturalization of railroads, SO
iar as 1t has proceeded in France, is
obtainable from an official report Just
distributed in the chamber of depu-
ties According TO this estimate the
deficit on the state owned Western
railroad for the current year is over
lG,OO0,000.
n. Henri Cheron. the author of
the report, attributes this deficit to
the cost of maintaining the line. the
Increase in the number of employees
and the augmentation of wages. The
report points out. however. that the
service, hitherto deplorable. has been
incontestably improved. Before the
Western railroad was taken over by
the state, the deficit amounted to
about five million dollars. Since the
naturalization of the line in 1911,
the French government has expended
in improvements about a. million
dollars.

curious wireless telegraphy phe-
nomenon has been discovered at the
railroad station of Clichy-Levallois
near the gates of Paris. Electricians
who touched the wires of large col
lection of telegraph conduits which
had not been connected with any sys-
ten received sever electrical shocks.
An investigation by the state railway
engineers revelaed that the shocks
were due to Hertzian waves sent out
from the powerful wireless station at
the top of the Eifel Tower. A re-
eeiVing station was established by
way of test and a telegraph sapper
was able TO intercept wireless mes
sages dispatched from the Eiffel
Tower and other stations.
BY pure chance the collection of
telegraph wires at Clichy-Levallois
railway station iilss all the necessary
conditions of height. distance and po-
sition to receive the Einel Tower
The incident has
caused great interest in scientific cir
eles, as wireless post especially
erected on the top of schoolhouse
in Paris has never been able to inter
cept messages from the tower.
