A VICTORY FOR THE MINEflS
The Decision of the Coal Strike Commission
in Their Favor.
REPORT GIVEN TO THE PRESIDENT
The Seal* Adraactd Tan Par Cant.
?Shorter Hoars of Labor Granted?
Coal Hereafter to Bo Chocked and
tfolffhed ? Conanlaaioa Flee Hon t be
Arriving at a DoeUloa.
Washington. D. C.?After five months
of arduous labor in taking testimony,
visiting the mine region*, and preparing
their report, the member* of the
Coal Strike Arbitration Committee, appointed
by President Roosevelt, tiled
with the President unanimous reeotnmendatlons
and their tituil report.
Judge (Jray. who was Chairman of the
Commission, and Carroll 1>. Wright,
the Recorder, went to rhe White
House. Informed the President thut
their Labors were done, and placed
the report In his hands. The President
thereupon luvited aU the members of
the Commission to dinner in the White
House.
Although the Commission's report
had not been made publie, enough was
known of its recommendation* to |iermlt
a review of Its material feature's,
j Not only is an increase of ten per cent.
in wages granted to the miners, but
1 new regulations in weighing the coal.
It is said, will really make the Increase
much larger, as they will preclude the
men from being compiled to mine
more than a ton of coal and getting
paid only for a ton, as now prevails.
Ti.i* <t?imiiniiit of th?? welching sys
torn In vogue at the mines has been
considered carefully by the Commission,
and It is understood that it In
agreed that the miner*' complaint in
that connection was well founded. Another
point decided hy the Commission
Is that the mining operators must
fix a day's work at eight hours for
every miner.
The miners also gain another point
of contention in lielng recognized with
checkers of their own for the coal
as mined. By a system of dockage
the miners assert the o{>erators heretofore
have overhurdehed the workmen
with rebates, which materially reduced
their actual income. So the real issue
mined by the plners when they went
on strike is granted by the Commission.
Less work, more pny and less interference
and partiality oil the part of
mining operators sums up this feature
or the commissions n'jton. me nport
also contains n provision, it Is
said, for llie settlement of all future
troubles between the miners and tlio
operators, by adjudication by a committee
of the two parties to the controversy.
In this provislou it is understood
tbe Miners' Union is Indirectly
recognized, and this again is regarded
as a victory for President Mitchell and
organized labor. On tbe other hand,
however, the Commissioners rebuke
the boycott Instituted by organized
labor against miners who do not belong
to their union. Tbe general principle
is enunciated that every man
has an unalienable right to work
wherever he can find it. if he
is in need, and tliat uo other man
has a right to interfere with or molest
him in obtaining the necessities of life
for himself and his family by honest
toil.
While the boycott and the bitter
temper exhibited by the union miners
against the non-union uieu are cited as
having caused a share of the disorder
and personal Injury sustained during
the strike, the coal operators do
not escape censure for having been
also a party to these disturbances by
the wretched methods which they have
allowed to exist In the mining regions,
and the severe treatmeut of the miners
In their employ.
Company stores and company houses
are rebuked and a lietter feeling of
"live and let live" Verom mended for
the consideration of the coal capitalists.
The conditions seen by the Commis*
sinners in the mining regions also are
discussed, ana suggestions ior iun juui*
vidual and home benefit of the miners
are recommended.
The President's Instruction* to the
Commission when appointed required
that it should investigate also "the
causes out of which the <?ontroversy
arose."- In presrntinjr its view of
these causes the Commission doe* not
spare the coal operators, and it is believed
that this will be the most severe
censure upon the operator*. The Commission's
report throughout is based
on the Itellef of its member* tuat the
miners did have serious grievances,
which the operators should have satisfled
instead of refusing to arbitrate.
President Mitchell, who. it is understood.
had gained a good understanding
of what the Commission recommends,
is said to be well rotisfled with the report.
He will lw? recognized, or rather
the Miners' I'nlon of which he is the
President will be. by the President,
who will send him a copy of the report,
as binding upon the miners iu the
anthracite region.

The French Government bus investigated
the disaster and found that between
300 and 000 islanders perished
during the storm. After the tvind had
subsided and the waters bad receded
bodies of drowned nutives were found
tied to trees about the place.
Hikuera. one of the islands visited
by the deluge, was the least able to
withstand its force, as its highest place
is twelve feet above the sea. The residents
flocked to the heights and sought
safetv bv binding themselves to the
rocks and trees. There they remained
for the three or four days of the storm.
The Islands of Hao. Makokau und
Hlkuera are virtually washed away, as
they are at present little above the sen

Ion For Ike Admiral.
Washington, P. C.?President Roosevelt
has transmitted to the Senate the
nomination of George Dewey. United
States Navy, to be "Admiral of the
Navy." Attention was recently called
to a slight difference between the wording
of Admiral I)? wey's commission
and the law of 1890 under which It I
was provided for. The commission of '
the Admiral reads "The Admiral in
the Navy" where the law has it "Ad-,
tniral of the Navy." Accordingly a
new commission has been made out for
the Admiral, and this necessitated a
new nomination and continuation by j
the Senate.
The Senate confirmed Admiral Dew- j
cy's nomination.

Shamrock III., challenger for the ,
America's Cup, was launched under '
the most successful conditions. Lady
Shaftesbury, wife of the Commodore
of the Itoyal Ulster Yacht Club, chrls- ;
tened the yacht in the presence of ft j
number of distinguished guests. Sham*
rocks and hopefulness were much in
evidence. Sir Thomas Lipton divided J
2000 bunches of the former in honor I
of St Patrick and the new boat and
voiced the general sentiment of hopefulness
by saying: 1
"With just a little slice of luck tbo J
battered old mug will find a resting . |
place on this side of the water." J
Shamrock III. differs greatly from
the other two boat a .aent to Amerieft ML
for the cop. The fin on the new boat jfl
la very short and Is just twenty feet S
long. Her draught Is nineteen feet and H
the fin is almost level along the bottom. fflj
The lead in the linll la drawn down
well to the fin, suggesting the deep M
body typical of the British cutter. M
rather than the extreme flat-floored
type, adapted from tbe American ceti- V
