3 Excepting for our presidential cam
Fpaign. Of whose closing days there is
llittle or nothing to say, the affairs of
Great Britain supplied the most inter-
hesting and important news Of the
week. The strike Of the coal miners,
with Its threats Of further and greater
economic troubles. added to the Irish
problem, gave the British enough to
worry over and these two matters con-
tinued to draw the attention, sympa-
thetic or otherwise. Of the English
speaking world.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
his cabinet were unremltting In their
efforts to settle the miners strike, and
on Thursday It was announced that
they had succeeded, II the miners
would accept the plan. After repeated
conferences with the labor leaders
tentative agreement was reached.
The settlement upon which the min
ers' delegates, coal mine owners. and
the government are agreed Is a very
complicated one. Briefly the men get
q sliding advance Of two shillings to
one shilling six pence. according to
age as was originally demanded.
The miners and owners solemnly
pledge to cooperate to secure an In
creased output Of coal. National and
district committees are to be estab-
lllshed Immediately to control the out
put and Joint national wage board
will be established at the earliest pos
sible time before March 81 for regula.
ton Of wages for the whole industry,
with regard to profits Of the Industry
and the principles on which profits
should be dealt with.
The miners executive committee was
to submit the settlement to tlie miners
federation for approval. so the return
Of the men to the pits will not be de-
layed.
The railway men and transport
workers, in view of the hopeful char
acter Of the negotiations, postponed
any action looking to a sympathetic
strike.
Though very optimistic. the govern
ment made ready for all contingencies
by rushing through to final passage its
emergency bill. This arms the govern
ment with added powers to enforce
the law in case the strike continues
and the rail and transport men be-
come involved. Though It was passed
by large majority, some concessions
were demanded and received by the la.
Dor party. The law as enacted pro-
vides that nothing in the act shall be
construed as authorizing the procla-
nation Of any form of compulsory mil
Itary service or Industrial conscrip-
ton or make 1t an oifense for any per
son to participate in strike or peace
fully persuade any other person to
participate In q strike.
Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor Of
Cork finally succeeded In starving
himself to death In Brixton jail,
martyr" In the cause Of Irish free
dom. The second death among the
hunger strikers In prison In Cork also
was recorded. These events deeply
stirred all the Irish, In Ireland and
America as well. and there were nu-
merous masses and other ceremonies
In connection with the deaths. The
British authorities took every precau-
tion to guard against outbreaks, and
presumably they were seconded in this
BY the wiser among the Sim Fein
leaders. For the latter know that
these would but bring on more ~
prisals and further repression.

the city had taken advantage of the
opportunity to participate in the city

months when the registration books
finally closed at six O'Clock yesterday
afternoon.
A steady stream of last-minute an

the office of City Clerk Russell during
the day, nearly three hundred names
having been entered on the books in
the closing hours. AT the close Mr.
Russell footed up the totals. and gave
out the announcement that 1864 citi.
zens had qualified as voters.
On account of the fact that the com
ing election is the first to be held
under the new charter, and the eyten.
sion Of the franchise to women. it was
thought that much larger number
would register. However, the ladies'
did not register in anything like the
numbers anticipated, and will be- great
ly outnumbered by male voters in the
elections to be held during the next
year.
An outstanding feature of the reg
istration was the number of negro wo-
men who became qualified to vote, "a
