PRESIDENT OP UNITED MINE WORKERS
MAKES A PREDICTION.
He Says Tint a Strike la the Anthracite
Region cl Pennsylvania Is Comln|, and
That It Will Become the Bluest the
United States Has Ever Known.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 6.—Presi
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, said today: “In
tny opinion there will be' a strike in the
anthracite region of Pennsylvania, and
it will be the biggest the United States
has ever known. Of coarse the strike
mast be' ordered by the executive conn-
cil'of the organisation, bat all indica
tions point to a big tie np. I firmly be
lieve that sevfiity-five thousand will
-quit the first day onr men are ordered
out."
' FEELINO NOT SO CONFIDENT IN WIUCES
BARRS DISTRICT.
Wllkesbarre, Penn., Sept. 6.—Now
that the miners here have heard that
the operators refused to grant their de
mands and know that the United Mine
Workers will order a strike next week,
they do not feel satisfied as their talk
last week would indicate.
While the majority will probably
•obey the strike order, the men at eaoh
colliery are asking what will the others
do. They fear the strike will not be
universal and that the men of one com
pany may remain at work white others
strike.
The feeling is that it would be wise to
wait and see how eagerly the strike oall
it obeyed. Of the 140,000 mine workers

BIG TREES
Of California In Danger of Being Destroyed
by Loggers.
The Department of Agriculture at
Washington has issued a report on the
investigation of the big trees of Califor
nia that brings out some interesting and
new conclusions. It shows that the di
mensions of the big trees are * un
equalled; that their age makes
them the oldest living things. They are
described by the report as "the
grandest, largest, oldest and most
majestically graceful of trees," and the
scarcest of known tree species, with the
extreme scientific value of being the
best living representatives of £ former
geologic age*
The report says the bark of the big
trees often is two feet tliick and almost
noncombustible. The big trees appa
rently have not increased their range
siuoe the glacial epoch.
Continuing, the report says: "The
only grove now safe from the destruc
tion is the Mariposa. Most of the other
groves are either in process of or in dan
ger of being logged.

London, Sept. 4.—The latest reliable
Pekin date is now nearly a fortnight old.
An undated dispatch hat been reoeived
at Vlenua reporting that the allied
troops marohed through the Imperial
palace August 28, bat It was known that
this date had been fixed by allied oom-
manders for a formal promenade. There
Is no other news of any kind. The
Bong Kong correspondent of tbe Dally
Mall says that the Canton offioials have
been ordered to transmit all possible
revenue to tbe north for war expenses
and that all pay of offioials from the
vloeroy down be stopped daring hostili
ties. The Vienna correspondent of the
Standard telegraphs that be learns from
a good source that the Germans, Ana
trians and ItalianS wiil remain In Pekin
after the Bnsslans withdraw.
Shanghai and Hong Kong dispatches
express the utmost astonishment at the
Idea of evaoaating Pekin.
The Daily News suggests editorially
that Bnssia may have made seoret
terms with China behind the baoks of
the powers.
The Standard expresses gratification
at the explanation that the United
States government does not approve of
Bossia’s proceedings.
The Doily Express publishes an inter
view with a New York Chinaman, Lin
Ohnah, now staying in London,' who
admits Li Hang Chang's "dnpliolty and
rooted antagonism to western ideas,"
bat thinks that the allies have no oholoe
hnt to negotiate with him or to retire
from China altogether.
M. Do Blowltx, the Paris correspon
dent’ of the Times, asserts that the
origin of Btusia's decision to evacuate
Pekin was her desire to frustrate the
sohemes of Emperor William and to
oorreot the impression prodnoed by the
Kaiser’s speeoh attributing to Emperor
Nioholas the initiative in the appoint
ment of Field Marshal Count von Wal-
dersee to the command of the interna
tional troops.
“Bnssia also desired," said M. do
Blowits, "to save France trom the hard
iness of placing her troops under Count
von Waldersee. The United States
were also mnoh dissatisfied with the
prospect of their troops aotlng under
German orders.
“If yon oompare the Bussian evacua
tion proposal with the American plan
for beginning negotiations before Count
Waldersee and if you add to this the
prompt adherenoe of Franoe, addressed
to the United States, yon have the com
plete key to the Bdsso-Amerioan mys
tery. .

Senator Stewart, of Nevada, In ex
plaining why he has gone back to tbe
Bejmblican party, says It is because
“Bryan has secured the ratification of
the treaty of Paris.” "Mr Bryan,” says
Senator Stewart, "oaused the. United
States to.assume sovereignty of the,
Philippines, with the consequent re
sponsibilities of maintaining law and
order, and protecting life and property.”
Senator Hoar has made the same ex
planation of his preference for MuKtn-
Iey. “Everything I tried to do,” says
Mr, Hoar, “was brought to naught l-y
the action taken by Mr. Bryan."
This is all fallacious, a mere pretext,
of coarse. Bnt what a tremendous
power in the nation these Bepnblioan
leaders represent Mr. Bryan to be I If
Mr. Bryan really did what they repre
sent him as doing where is there an
other man to equal him in influence
upon the coarse of national affairs? If
he, ns a private citizen, can sway the
action of the United States Senate and
oan bring to naught everything that
snoh an astute statesman as Mr. Hoar
tries to do, 1 has he not the most distin
guished qualities of leadership? Where
does MoKinlev show np alongside of
Bryan, as pictured by the President’s
own friends?
In charging upon Mr. Bryan the re
sponsibility of the ratification of tha
treaty of Pans, these Repnblioans, seem
to prove more than is desirable for theit
own side of the controversy.
