with represetatlves cf the engineers, fireman and United Rrwery Workmen, ami again to-night with the proprietors, .hut no agreement has yet been reached. I'rsiileiit Gornpers, although authorize.! by the contending unJona to nt, will announce no division here. lie will report en the questions of autonomy and other differences to the executive board of the American Federation of Labor. The contention for the 'United Ilrewery Workmen to have jurisdiction over the engineers and firemen Is to be settled by the executive board as soon as possible after President tampers reports. The brewery proprietors to-day would not recede from their demand for the recognition of the contracts with their engineers. The national oüicers of the different labor organizations who have been here this week left for their respective homes to-day, and all will await tne action of the national executive board with interest. - President G.-mpers loft to-night for Chicago and will report on his investigations to the executive board in Washington April 31. Meantime the breweries are employing new men and many of the former employes Lave resumed work. There are only men tt ill out. or about one-third of the original number locked out. Irevious to his departure for Chicago tordght President Gompers left his decision i;i writing with the contending unions, and it Is believed it will practically result in a settlement here before he reports more fully to the executive board, on April II. While Mr. Gompers finds both sides at fault, he I;inta out at length how much of the trouble has tome from misunderstandings, lie hold.-: "First The claim of the United Brewery "Workers over the engineers and firemen In the breweries in the Cincinnati district was without Justification. The latter were alrea iy organized under their International union. "Second The action of the engineers In Issuing their ultimatum that they would not furnish steam to the United Brewery workmen was a gross wrong, unjustifiable and indefensible. "Third The engineers wholly misunderstood their rights when they locked out others. They were employes of the brewcries, and it Is not the right of one craft to lock out another, "Fourth The declaration that the engineers would ;ot furnish steam for United Brewery workmen and would furnish it for others was in itself an attempt to disrupt the United Brewery workmen, and was grossly wrong. "Fifth The ultimatum issued for these engineers without the consent, knowledge or authority of the Engineers' Union was a mistake. "Sixth Lockouts are always bad. and especially this one. A lockout 13 the prerogative of the employers exclusively. "Seventh The ultimatum of the engineers waa nrt contingent upon recent conditions, but it had been long deliberated upon, carefully matured, and was certainly wrong."

Senle to lie Continued. ALTOON'A, Pa.. March 27. The bituminous coal miners and operators got together to-day and agreed to continue the scale another year. It calls for a 30-cent pick mining rate and a ten-hour day. The ten-hour day is one of the Important features, as it practically eliminates the eight-hour day from the anthracite field. National Secretary Wilson, who Is here, approve of the ten-hour agreement. Secretary Wilson pays that owing to the fact that the general mining scale is reasonably fair, settlements anywhere on the basis of last year's scale are preferable to striking. To-day notices were posted at all the tipples of the r.erwind-White Company that the company will continue to pay the same rate for mining and day labor as has been paid since April 1, 11K1.

WON'T OPPOSE RUSSIA

GERMANY IS IX FAVOR OF THE "OPEX DOOR" PRINCIPLE, Bnt Will Do Xothlns in a Final Intitmice to Prevent the Czitr from Getting Whnt He AVanta. BERLIN. March 27. The Associated Press has high authority for saying that the government cf the United States has j been sounding Germany as to how far the latter country would go toward maintaining the "open door" in China. This inquiry, which was initiated prior to the trip of Prince Henry to the United States, was not made with the object of eliciting wellphrased writings on the subject, nor general assurances, nor even so-called guarantees, as the administration at Washington, according to information here, thinks there has been quite enough of such diplomatic interchanges. But the purpose of this inquiry was to learn, for the guidance of Washington, whether Germany, in any event, would take a resolute stand for equal trade opportunities. This inquiry resulted in obtaining from the very head of the German empire the impression that Germany, while willing to take an identical attitude with the other powers for the "open door," would not, in a linal instance, oppose something that Russia really desired. This is the lirst principle of Germany's exterior policy, and it applies fully to the east Asian question. Huia Will Keep 3Iunchurla. LONDON. March 28.

The brigandage rampant there will be used as justification for the retention of a powerful Russian army. After the brigands have been suppressed the Russians will remain in Manchuria to protect their railway and secure peace in northern China. The correspondent says the officer declared that to his certain knowledge a fully detailed plan for the civil and military administration of Manchuria has already been elaborated, and will receive the Czar's signature in due time.

Frank, accompanied by the three great hounds, did not hesitate to charge this formidable and sudden enemy. But the effect was not what he expected. Instead of bounding away, the great cat, looming larger and more terrible the nearer he approached, faced his foes fiercely, crouching above the slain sheep, ready to spring, and yelling screams of demoniac ferocity. The mustang stopped and roared, then stood snorting and trembling, and could not be forced nearer. The preat dogs rushed on. And Frank sat in his saddie and watched the fight, unable to assist, too fascinated to fly. Now he realized the imprudence of leaving his arms, and repented his boyish folly in despising discipline founded upon experience. Old Strategy was the leader of the three dogs. Iiis wise brain did the planning for all. and never did poldie-rs obey a chief with more careful attention to signals of command than the other two great dogs gave to him. He was the fleetest cf the three. Reserve, who ran in the rear, and always waited the proper time to limp and seize, was the mot powerful. Skirmish, the lightest Tf the trio, made it his business to distract the quarry by flushing feigned and real attacks all over him, here, there and everywhere, to provoke openings for the other two. Jtift as the battle began the clouds opened wide, and the brightening moon shed a distant glimmer tver the scene through the mist that rose from the wet grass, disclosing the huge mountain lion standing over his prey, with flattened ears, snarling face, teeth gleaming, claws widely spread, mad with hate, menacing the dogs. And now Old Strategy, warily observant, crept, growling, directly in front of the angry lion, tempting and taunting him to spring. Nearer a little nearer yet. Several times the lion seemed to leap, judging by his lashing tall and settling haunches; but Skirmish distracted him with a sudden feint, or Reserve threatened his flank. When each dog had a good position, Old Strategy provoked a leap by a sudden movement. The Hon sprang, body, limbs and claws spread to strike. But Old Strategy was not there when he alighted; and the Hon did not alight where he aimed; for the moment he leaped Reserve and Skirmish dashed in and caught him in the air, one on his flank, one by a hind knee joint, and held back with such force that all three rolled along the grass. Before the lion could retaliate, all threa dogs were once more out of reach, to repeat their provoking tactics. For half an hour this furiou3 little battle was contlnue-d. Leap, charge, rush, or strike as he would, the worried lion could not bring his treacherous assailants to a cloe. But for a few insignificant scratches the dogs were unhurt, but the lion showed many marks of the conflict. The dogs gave him no rest from their incessant attacks. Occasionally one of the dogs would He down, panting, and rest himself, while the other two kept the game going, but their adversary was not permitted a moment's breathing time. Gradually the tormented nfght prowler grew weary and faint. His own fury helped the dogs to exhaust him, for each effort he made increased his rage, until he became a veritable demon of hate, and spent In useless sei earns the breath that he needed for battle. As his powers diminished those of the dogs increased. Their rushing, leaping grips were more confident, more frequent, and more effective. A little later brave Skirmish made such a prodigious feint, in obedience to some secret sign from Old Strategy, that the Hon whirled to strike at him. This gave Old Strategy his chance. He fastened the first prip upon the throat of the Kreat cat. keeping his own body behind and partly under the head of his foe, while Sklrmlh dragged at a bind leg, and Reserve put all his weight and force Into a rrip over the loin, stretching their enemy helpless for a moment but only for a moment. As soon as the great cat could muster his tired strength he drew his powerful body into a curve and thrust at Old Strategy with his lashing hind lejrs. compelling the dop: to let go. But the instant Old Strategy was pushed off the painful grip of Reserve at his loins made the lion curl down again, to strike with his fore paws, when Ohl Strntcgy pinned his throat once more from the other side. So in five minutes more the battle was ended, and the three dogs had again proved their risht to the proud distinction of being the only dotrs that could kill a full-grown mountain lion.

A Good Hearted Mao, or in other words, men with good sound hearts, are not very numerous. The increasing number of sudden deaths from

heart disease daily chronicled by the press, is proof of the alarming prevalence of this dangerous complaint, and as no one can foretell 1 just wncn a fatal collapse Kreamer. will occur, the danger of neglecting treatment is certainly a very risky matter. If you are short cf breath, have pain in left side, smothering spells, palpitation, unable to lie on side, especially the left, you should begin taking MUes Heart Cure. J. A. Kreamrrcf Arkansas City, Kacs, ys: My h? art was so bad it was impossible forme to lie down, and I could ceiihtr sleep nor rest. My decline was rapid, and I realized I mu?t cet help soon. 1 was advised to try Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which 1 did, and candidly believe ft &avei my life." Dr. Miles' Remedies are aold by oil druggists on (uarantee. Dr. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. commonly reported to. Rolling is done iu a bark trough, or more usually in a larg thtll. and for grilling a grid of cros'd sticks is formed. Clay from the ant hills is used to "till up" when no other edible substance is available, and apparently a. white clay (a form of kaolin) is considered rather as a delicacy. After being dug out of the earth it is carefully poundrd and Fitted, so as to render it juite smooth ami free from grit. It is next pliced in a baik trough, and by the addition of water worked into a pyft paste. This paste b then made into a cake, placed In the sun ror 5ix or eight days, eventually wrap peel in leaves, burit-d'in the ahes. and a hot fire made over it. When cool it is ready for eating, and Is devoured with gusto. Green ants, as well as their larva, are eaten as foed as well as medicine in some localities. Great ingenuity is displayed in the capture of fish, for which several methods are employed. Trantiixlon with the feet 1? common on some portions of the Georglna and other creeks, while muddying the water with the feet and then bitting the fi&h a a they come to the surface is a common procedure everywhere. The practice of "poisoning" the water by special plants ar.d capturing the li?h as they come to the surface is also fairly common. The blacks "bob" for eels with worms at night Just as an ordinary Lr:gll?h small boy ould. and' they have a way analogous to bird liming for catching small fry in which they uso a sticky spider's web, into which tha fishes' teeth become fixed. The puk'r fi:ti is requisitioned as a guide for spearing or harpooning fish, as well as for turtle ami dugong. Hollow logs are in great request for eels and certain fresh-water fish, and on the Lower Tully river women cateii large quantities of small fish with tlulr everyday luwyer-cane dillybags. Any lnrga portion of flesh is cut up Into conveniently sized pieces, on the Lower Tully, by meanj of the gpines on a lawyer cane used after the manner of a cross-cut saw.

A common way of killing lish is to bite into them deeply Just at the back of the head. Thia is very frequently done by a tishcrman before he is ready to leave tha water, and who thus makes sure that on throwing tho tlsh already caupht on to tha banks there is no chance of their skipping back into their native element. III.T TO .MISSIONARIES. They eed Xot 12 1 pect to lie Ransomed If They Are Kidnaped. New York Christian Advocate. Missionaries were distinctly informed by the Lord Jesus as to their sufferings and their risks, and when they go to foreign lands to preach the gospel to an unwilling people they should be so informed by thos who send them out. It would be better for the cause of missions and more promotive of the spirit of the caupe of Christ to hav this understood than to have it lraplieJ that If they were captured they would ba ransomed by the payment of large sums. Mlsylonary societies have no accumulated funds. If the moral obligation rstenl upon the societies to support the missions and also be ready to raise $72. jm.) for each case of capture it would be almost imposlblti to sustain the enterprise. No one is fit to be a missionary who doe not, when he accepts such a commission, lay his life and liberty on the altar by an act of moral and mental consecration. As a member of the board of managers of ths Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church we should very much dislike to be put in the position of having to consider any individual case, but in discussing th subject In the light of pure rearm we think we should be supported by all the members of the board of managers and of the general committee in saying that no Methodist missionary could reasonably regard th society under any moral or other obligation to undertake to be responsible for the pay. ing of large sums to brigands who may capture any missionary in a foreign coun try and hold him or her for ransom.
