The vote was more than two-thirds against abandoning the demand for the employment of men to fire explosives in the comparatively few mines where explosions are dangerous. The miners explain that the vote was strongly against yielding on principle because the operators at the interstate conference had promised to adjust the matter at the State conference and that It would not do to permit an act of bad faith because it might be made use of as a precedent. While the vote was to suspend work at the end of the contract year to-morrow night the best judges of the situation do not believe there will be a suspension, or If there should be. that it will be of only a few days' duration, as some agreement will be forced by the leaders, who say that a strike would be little short of criminal. m STRIKE OF THE SIIOPMEV.

Bessie Knecht Has Been Slumbering for Twenty-Eight Days. SALT LAKE, Utah, March 30. Physicians of this city, more particularly those attached to the staff of the Holy Cross Hospital, are at a loss to account for the condition of Miss Bessie Knecht, twentytwo years of age, who, for the past twentyeight days has been asleep. During that time the young woman has not spoken a word, or had, to all appearances, a waking moment. After the first week of her long slumber she was taken from the home of her parents in this city and removed to the hospital, where, despite numerous efforts on the part of physicians to arouse her, her condition remains unchanged. She lies with closed eyes, breathing naturally day after day, and night after night. At long intervals she raises her eyelids a little, but never opens them. When tapped on the forehead she is seemingly annoyed, but gives no other evidence of consciousness. She is fed at suitable intervals with liquid food, which. she swallows automatically when it is poured down her throat, but in spite of this nourishment she is gradually wasting away. The physicians believe that should her present condition continue she will pass from sleep to death through the exhaustion of the vital forces. DERIDED BY A PRIEST. Work of Protestant Mission Boards In the Philippines Ridiculed. NEW YORK. March 30. Father O'Brien Pardow, preaching in St. Patrick's Cathedral on The Catholic Church and the Bible," attacked the distribution of Bibles in the Philippines. "It Is looked on as a great boon to the Philippines." he said, that after we have rid them of Spain's rule of 'superstition, we are going to give them 'the open Bible and are shipping carloads of these quickly thrown together translations. Every one knows that persons who have never had more than a year or two acquaintance with this almost unknown language are incapable of giving expression in it to God's word, as should be done. I suppose these Bibles will take along with them America's heirloom, the institution and increase of divorce, unknown, as yet, to these people." TRADE, INDUSTRY; FINANCE.
