Practically Settled By Bill in House of Commons
 Yesterday.
T o B F, A M E N n K D
Miners Used Strategy and Will Get a Minimum Schedule For Mini-
 mum Days Work.

London, March 20.-Tnc Great Britt ish coal strike was practically set tied today. Early in the afternoon the miners federation passed a resolution declaring their refusal to accept any bill which did not define the minimum wage at five shillings per day for adults and two shillings for boys un- der eighteen. They added 10 their demands Il further resolution that scheduled prices for hewers wages should also be included in the meas ure. This was heralded as q rejection of the bill by those who were unaware of the true inwardness of the miners strategy The opposition, encouraged by the apparent hostility of the min CTS, plucked up enough courage to give notice for an amendment to the second reading of the bill which, if carried by coalition of the nenan- ionists and labor members, would no only have defeated the bill but would have thrown cut the government.
 Their amendment condemns the bill on two grounds. First that it would net prevent strikes, which is obvious. No measure devised by the art of man could do that, and second, because it does not provide any safeguards for a minimum output for minimum wage. This amendment will be moved to- morrow by Mr. Balfour and will be supported by the entire opposition.
 The mini ters, thus threatened by a frontal attack, appeared to have de- cided to win back the support of the miners by offering to introduce five shillings into the bill on condition that the demand for individual sche- dule for hewers was dropped and the men would promise to go back to work. This was what the miners had been playing for all along.
 It was reported some days ago that they were willing to drop the sche- dulles if they got five and two shil- lings as minimum embodied in the bill. It is probable that they may insist upon taking a ballot Of the men before they consent to the omission of the schedule prices for hewers la Dor but ill any event the bill may now be regarded as safe although it is pos sible it may not secure royal assent until next week.
 The opposition has played uninten- tionally into the miners hands. If they had undertaken to support the bill as 1t stands they would have rendered it very difficult for the government to yield to the miners demands.

STRIKE OF MINERS GROWS IMMINENT Both Sides Admit That Chance For Agreement
 is Hopeless.
GUARD CONFERENCES
OneratOrs Search for Dictaeraph Be- fore COnferring-Miners Says
 NOn-UniOn Men Will Quit.

Strike of miners grows imminent 2t Cleveland, Ohio, March 20-Nonc A.of the coal operators or miners talk tng part in the joint conference here 7 to make an intersta:e contract be- lieve that there is any chance for peace. The first session of the io mt conference was held this after noon and at it's conclusion, in.er- national President John P. White, of the miners said:
 We have not got anywhere" J. C. Kolsom, president of the Indiana operators and chairman of the con- ference, made the same statement In fact, every operator and m ner present says:
 We will talk few days, then we will break off, there is no chance for a settlement
 Every conference held by the oper- ators is strongly guarded. l.. be- came known today that at their conference Tuesday a vigilant search was made of the assembly room of the Ho1lenden Hotel, where the meeting was held, 70 see if a die tagraph had been installed hy the : miners.
 For awhile there was a furry over telegram received from a New YoM1 broker stating that the leaders of she strike in England had | erdered the strikers to- return 10 york Monday. If the strike ends in tSe next few days .he operators be- lieye that it. will have a great effect upon the miners of this country as 1t will put damper on their eT.hu- siasm.
 Duncan Mcdonald, secretary Of Illinois miners, said today that he miners of this country were watch ing the foreign coal strikes and that if one should be called here, that even the non-union men in West Vir- ginia, Colorado and other states, would also quit.
 The only business transacted in the joins conference was a discussion of the first demand of the miners. This is the. payment of wages on mine run basis. Both sides eXpres- !. sed their opinion on the question ll@,N no action was taken. A. the 7 Ming tomorrow each clause ill s- Ke demand of the strikers will be discussed. Finally the operators will reject the miners proposition and make .hem an offer that can be presented to the miners policy committee that meets here Monday This offer at the most, will be only for a renewal of the present wage scale.

5O.OOO MEXlCANS
 WILL QUIT WORK
As Result of Prohibition of Shipments of Dynamite Into Troubled Coun-
 try-Mines Will Close Down.

Washington, March 20.-Not only will the proclamation of the president prohibiting the shipment of ammuni ions of war into Mexico force the in- surgents to equip filibustering fleet. but it will throw fifty thousand MeXi- can miners out of employment ewing 10 lack of dynamite to carry out their operations.
 Dynamite, of course, is decidedly contraband. It now has come to the oars of officials here that these fifty thousand men are very likely to join the Insurgents, thus increasing the troubles of the Madero government instead of mitigating them.
 The first effect of the prohibition which has been made practically complete, will be to divert revolution ary funds in Mexico to the fitting out of fleet of filfbusters to carry the ammunition which can no longer be smuggled over the border.

GOI. W. CLARK
 MAKES REPORT

The 1912 report of Governor Clark. to the Secretary of the In- terior. telling of the conditions in Alaska and recommending legisla- tion, has reached this office. The governor repeats much that he rec commended last year, and places himself on record as fayoring a number ot reforms. A few extracts from his report follow:
 While there was probably a small increase in the number of res idents who may be regarded as at tached to the soil or engaged in industries Oi a permanent character, there was, without doubt a consid- erable decrease in the population of Alaska as a whole, The gain in white population Cnot including mix ed Russian and native people, many ot whom can not read or write) be tween the census years 1900 and 1910 was only 5,S54, or 19 per cent
 Some encouragement has been de- rived, however, from the new legis- lation authorizing an examination and report by board of experts on feasible railroad routes from tide water to the interior, and by many persons from the creation of a To- cal legislature. The former must be regarded as of the highest i'm portance, since cheap transportation is the prime factor in early territor- ial development; but the creation of a local legislative body can not be expected to solve the main prob lens of Alaska, since these prob lems can be dealt with by Congress alone.

 I do not favor any project of placing the Alaska natives on reser- vatious. since that would almost surely tend, under any system like Iy to be devised, to impair the self reliant spirit for which these peo- pie generally are noted
 My recommendation of last year that all railroads in Alaska be re- lieved of taxation for the present is renewed. None of the existing lines, 1t is believed, is earning enough to pay interest charges, and some of them probably not enough to pay the expenses Of op- eration.

mining industry during the last year have been the increase fin the output Of copper ore in the Chitina and Prince William Sound regions and in the preparations for a very large gold-Quartz development in the Juneau district. Quite as wor- thy Of mention, perhaps, is the con- uuued exploration and development of gold-bearing lodes in the Panama basin. in the vicinity of Fairbanks, where l7 small stamp mills are re- ported as having been installed
 I strongly recommend further modification of the general mining law as applied to this Territory, under which assessment work on both quartz and placer mining claims may be paid in cash or la Dor to be applied to the construct ion of roads and trails outside or incorporated towns.
 In it's final analysis, the com plaint of those who are crying for the abolition of traps amounts to a labor question. The purse seines require more labor in their oper- ation than do the traps. It should be urged upon Congress to enact at an early date legislation to regu- late and license all forms of fish ing gear operated in Alaska. A tax should be placed upon all forms Of fishing gear, as well as upon the finished product.
 It is recommended that the re- bate system as applied to oper- ators of private hatcheries be abol- ished. and that such establishments be taken over at fair valuation by the Federal Government, thereafter to be operated by the Bureau Of Fisheries.
 It is recommended that legisla- ton be enacted prohibiting the use of herring or other food fishes for the manufacture of fertilizer or oil, providing that present concerns be granted an equitable period within which to close up their business. Also, there should be strict pro visions to prevent aliens from fish

VIRGINIA OUTLAW LEADER
FINALLY RUN TO EARTH
sldna Allen and His Nephew, Wesley
Edwards Are TraiIed TO Their Hid
ing Place Through Woman.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Sidna Allen, So
called leader of the Allen clan which
shot up the Carroll county court
house at Hillsville, Va, March IA,
killing Judge Massie and others, ana
his nephew, Wesley Edwards were
captured here Saturday. Both have
announced their willingness to return
to Virginia without requisition.
Edwards, for the love of whom Miss
Maude Iroler of Mount Airy, N. c.,
had innocently led detectives to Des
Moines, was captured as he was re-
turning to his boarding house, after
having worked all day with paving
gang Just as he boarded street car,
detectives and officers surrounded it..
Edwards was trying to escape by
car when the officers caught him.
The arrest OF Sidna Allen was effected
earlier in the day.
A visit by Edwards to Miss Iroler
in her Virginia home about month
ago and the accidental loss of lot
ter put the detectives on the trail.
The fugitives had been in Des Moines
since April 28.
Sidna Allen declined to say much
concerning his movements immediate
ly after the court house tragedy. He
and Edwards remained in the noun
tain country of Virginia and North
Carolina for about month, and then
got over into Kentucky, going to
Louisville. where they spent several
days. Their next stop was in st. Louis.
Allen declared the court house
tragedy was the fault of the officers,
who, he said, began the shooting.
