DID NO GOOD.

Cleveland Conference of Miners and Operators Accomplishes Nothing. Cleveland, 0., May 19.—The conference of coal miners and operators came to an end Thursday, nothing having been accomplished. All offers of compromise were rejected and the miners declared their belief that any agreement that might be reached would avail nothing, as there were so many operators who refused to join in the conference and would not be bound by its action. President Mcßride said he was willing to have a vote taken on the compromise offered by the operators, but he would guarantee that the miners would be unanimous against it He said: "There can be no compromise along the lines of starvation wages. The miners make no threats, but they stand together, peaceably, earnestly and determined as ever, and will go on so, finishing the present fight and prepared for future fights."
