With the formal ratification of the re-election o! the officers of the United Mine Work ers of America following the final disposition of the charges which had been preferred against the officers, the big convention is now getting down to J the real business of the meeting. The i committee on resolutions was the first j committee called at yesterday after- j noon's session, and the first resolution j was one submitted by the Brazil (Ind.) j miners denouncing the action of fed-1 eral Judges for "the way in which the;have used their power in governing by injunction, putting our officers and members in jail for contempt of court and depriving us of our free speech. ' Though the committee concurred ia the rt solution, it was not adopted for the reason that President Mitchell asked the convention to defer action en such resolution until the resolution committee could itse'.f prepare a resolution touching 'Covercment by Injunction. The convention refused to adopt a resolution providing that the United Mine Workers of America donate $1,000 to help build a monument tc President Mc-Kinley. The resolution came from the Brazil (Ind.) miners, and was strong in its denunciation of anarchy and in its expression of or row at McKInley'a assassination, and xpretced the highest regard for his virtues. "We ourht." it said, "now by our action say to the lawless that though you hare destroyed life, you cannot blot from the minds of a law-abiding people the memory of him whom you have destroyed.

Jan. 25. Secretary Hay and Constantine Bnm, the DaaIsh minister yesterday signed the treaty of cession of the Danish West ladies Islands from Denmark to tl t United States. The treaty will g to the senate at once for ratification The Danish West Indies consist of, three small islands lying to the southeast of Porto Rico. St. Thomas has about 12,0lu people and St. Croix 23,000. St. John is the smallest and least Important. The new treaty is peculiar In that It will require action, not only by th senate and the Danish rigsdag, but h? the United States house of represent tives as well, since it will be necessary for the house to supply the needed appropriation to defray the expense aS purchase. It is regarded as a strong point by the f ram ere of the treaty that the people of the Danish West India isuands are to have a voice In ; this question of cession. The treaty itself does not contain any reference to plebiscite, but the Danish govern men! has given notice that before it ratifies the treaty.it will submit the question of cession to the people of the islanda Not much objection is expected her from these people, as the treaty Is so framed that they are not called o to surrender their Danish allegiance., and they may remain Danes in fact and in name while enjoying whatever advantages in a commercial way may result from a transfer of the islands to the United States. The plebiscite will not be controlled in any sne by the United States. Tt i stated distinctly that the relish government Itself will take steps to ascertain th inclinations of the people or the inlands beiore the flnuJk'siers, In tlj transfer are taken.. COMPANY'S lilUtlT Ohio Supreme Court Jivea leciiw In lituckliMt C'ae. Columbus. O., Jan. 23. The syllabus, of the supreme court's decision in the case of the Nickel Plate railway vt Frank Shaffer on appeal from the circuit court of Huron county, involving the blacklist which was given out yesterday, sustains the railroad company. Shaffer was discharged by the railroad company for participating in a strike. He claimed that he could not secure employment on any other road because the company refused to tiive him a certificate of service and he sued for damages. The judgment el the circuit court in favor of Shaffer was reversed by the supreme court, the ruling of which follows: "A master is under no legal obligations to give to his discharged servant a statement of his service and whether or not it was satisfactory, and a. discharged railroad employe cannot maintain an action fordamages against the company which discharged bins for refusal to furnish him with a clearance or statement of the record of hi service, although he may have beet. unabl to obtain other employment i consequence of suci refusal by the company. "It is the right of every person, natural or artificial, to employ or refuse to employ in his business whomsoever he may wish and he cannot be callee upon to answer for his judgment 1 that regard by the public or Individuals, nor can the motives whica prompt his action be considered. A railroad company mayjawfully refuse to continue in its employ a person wht has engaged in a strike affecting Its interests, or who has shown himserf to be negligent. Incompetent, Inefficient or dishonest." Trainmen Ksonerated. New York. Jan. 25.
