T.D.Nichole, W, H.Dettrev, John Fahy, Presidents his tricts Nos.1, 7 and 9.The committee which met to-night consisted.of three executive hoard members from | tha anthracite districts, the three National Board membera from those _ districte and President Mitchell.The President has heen given powers to formulate the demands of tha mine workers.There was also nresent the members of the mih-committen to which had been delegated the power to formulate \u2018ginia 15,000, Obio the demands in detail and them.This consisted of the President and Secrotary of each of the three anthracite districts.They.were John Fahey and George Hartlein, of dis.triot No.8, W.Dettray and J.P.Gallagher, of district No.7, and T.D.Nichols and Jno.T.Dempeey, of district No.1.President Hitohell was also a memibrer of this sub-committee.All the members were present.The: wage scales of all winers, both anthracite and bituminous, will expire on Saturday, except thoss in Tennessee and Alabama where the scale will expire in September.A National official of the United Mine Workers to-night said : \u201cIt is a foregone conclusion that all the miners whose scales expire on Saturdey will cease work until officially notified by the National district officers that the contract arrangements have been made governing their scales.\u201d The bituminous miners affected hy the disruption of the conferences number 384,500, distributed as follows :\u2014Pennaylvania 160,000, Maryland 5,000, West Firginia 35,000, Vir- 40,000 Indians 15,000, Illinois 13,000, Towa 140,000, Michigan 3,500, Kentucky 4,000 and the Southwestern States 40,000, of these 120,000 are unorganised.Philadelphia, Pa., March 20\u2014Officials of the anthracite coal companies controlled by the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and Reading rafroads announced to-day that they intend to operate their colleries as waunl next week, notwithstanding that the award of the anthracite strike commission expires on Saturday.Reports from the coal fields show that the other large companies and she independent operators also intend to continue work vending a settlement of the differences between the mine owners and\u2019 th.- employes.The mining companies are Will rushing coal to the storage points ooweenient to Phitadelphia and New York and are also quietly mok- ing preparations in and about the minces for a possible strike.The mine workers tbroùgbout the hard coal field look for dull times this summer even though there is no strike.They believe there is »0 much coul above the surface that the companies will work their mines on about half time during the summer months in case a total suspension does not occur.The feeling that there will be either a strike or dull times has caused hundradis of forrigners to leave the coal fields for their homes in Europe, where they wil remain until conditions become settled, Desmoines, Ia., March 20\u2014Represen- tatives of flown coal operators and miners will hold 8 joint meeting declare a suspension of work in Iowa mines for sixty daye, beginning April lat.The suspension will throw about 14,000 men out of employment.BANK MANAGER DISAPPEARS.Smith's Falls, Ont., March 20\u2014F.A.Bethune, manager of the local branch of the Union Bank, is missing and his whereabouts since March 10 are unknown to the bank authorities.On Friday, the 16th, he left here in company with Inspector Billet for the hoad office in Quehec, and on Saturday night paid his bill at the Chateau Frontenac, and left, it was supposed, for home.For a time his continued absence did not cause anxiety, the offica here thinking him still in Quebec and the head office thinking he had returned home, It is understood that Inspector Billet, when here, found fault with some of the manager's work, inetruc- tions bavitg beon disobeyed, but apparently nothing serious, as the bank states all his accounts are sbsolutely correct, and there appears to he no reason whatever for his mystetions disappearance.Mr.Waddel, of Carle ton Place, is now in charge of the bank here.A REMARKABLE FEAT.People.visiting the Auditorium this evening wil witness the culmination of a remarkable feat.Pauline, the great hypnotist, will place a lady in the catalentio state in the window of a store in St.Joseph atrret, this ( Friday } afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and she will remain there until 8 p.m.when she will be removed to the lobby of the Auditorium.and awakened on the stage at 830, Everybody should see the awakening.It alone will be.worth the fea charged for admission, 1 (En et GE a rp fer Cures a Cold in One Day, SCHWEPPES The English Soda Water and Dry Ginger Ale.LAW, YOUNG & 00, = = = Agents Or Canada and Nowfountiané the | vase.the election petition against A.B.Temoseratures.Temperature ropiatered at Quebre Observatory :\u2014Maxioum 46) ;

that is to say, we | suppose that some are less hardly hit ! than others, for the increased rates are i an actual fact, snd not simply à trans ! ferences of the original dip juto Peter's | pockets to those of Paul, or.vice-versa.| That does not affect the question at (all, so far as the public is concerned; lit may be, and doubtiess in, all right 1 {a revise the insurance schedule, and \"to re-classify the risks, though it | would have been much mors satisiact- ory to the public to have had the work done by somebody acquainted thoronghly with the city, and not by a gentleman sent down for the purpose from Montreal, but a readjustment of the risks could have been effected without a raising of the rates, and it is of this raising that the public has reason to complain.Fire lo- surance, indeed, seems to be a commercial kind of Progressive Euchre; it is not many years sinco the rates were raised by the Underwriters\u201d Association, and now we have a fresh rise.At thet period there seems to have been a reasonable pretext; sev- oral very heavy fires had occurred at that time ; the adequacy of the city\u2019s means of protection against fire wgs, to my the least of it, eoxiremcly doubtinl, and the efficiency of the Fire Brigade had been questioned in no less important a quarter than the Board of Trade.The City Chlncil, moreover, in the opinion of many, had shown ites very backward in coming forward, the demand for an investigation by the Board of \u2018Trade was evaded, and the promptitude in carrying out the suggestions af the Underwriters was chiefly remarkable for the siow- ness with which it progressed, A great deal in the way of reformation wae, however, eventually done; the municipal authorities woke up to tome extent to an appreciation of the situa: tion, and, as à consequence, the fires which have occurred of late have ma- terialls decreased in extent and \u2018 num- I'bor.The newly-clectod Council has | also shown itecll disposed, as we pointed out yesterday, to give a wise and enlightened assistance, and mo far from there being any plausible ex- enon for an increase i nthe retes of Fire Insurance, there is much more reason why they should be lowered.That, we have every reason to bhe- Neve, is the View taken by the great majority of the citizens, and we speak from their siand-point.We have no desire to do any injustice to the Underwriters\u2019 Association, or In any way to injure the husiness done by the companies comprised in it, but our first duty is to the public, We may be wrong, but st present we bave no res- son to think it; at any rate there fs an easy way of testing the nfatter, and sciting it et rest, if the companies will submit their tarif echedule to the Mayor and City Council, who will then be able to give an intelligent opinion ee to whether or not the new tarif of insurance ie as innocent as it ie claimed to be.Certainly, the matter should not be allowed to rest in its present state, and the Nayor would do weil to eall a public meeting to discuss it.WATER.There is ame thing, however, of which the Underwriters\u2019 have good regson to complain, and thet , wae brought up in the Water Works Committee on Tuesdny night, when a lot: ter was read from Mr.Bissonette and others complaining of the low pressure of water on Cote d'Abraham.We are told that Mr.Gailiber informed | the Committes thal the gressurs wee ar Î = in the interview which a representative of The New York Tribune obtained with Sir Thomas Shaughnessy im New York.The reporter desired to get the opinion of Sir Thomas on the hostilrty which the railroads of the United States exhibit to the proposals pow, bolore Congress for greater control over rates by Federal authority.Sir Thomas said im part :\u2014 \u201cIt is my opinion that ths rail roads are making altogether (po much opposition to the proposed regulation.It seems to me that the de are entitled to regulate rates, At is Lhprefore, only a question as 10 .the best method of securmg thet.ened.7 \u201cRate regulation: jw.4mneda, under the control 5i à .Kedewsl .-Moifway Commission created by .an agt pf.Par lament, has now been.in Operation for two years, and in zatisfactioryl:, to both the railroads and the shipper No member of the prevent Commission has over been identified with the raitroad business, but there is an obvious anxiotv 10 be just alike to the railroads and the shippers, and as a result the decisions, in the main, are fair.The Commission has full authority to initial every rate in the schedule, but in practice it ratifies existing rater, within certain hmils that experience has indicated to be equitable.\u201d In view of that testimony, the express companies need not fear that their operations will be made unprofitable.while, on the other band, they shout] not have the power of making tho business of other people unprofitable.The express companies should be brought under the pulview of the commiseion.\u2014Toronto Globe\u2014 \u2019 OUR INCREASING PROSPERITY.The present year's exporis of the Dominion > to reach figures ralher low at thnes, and was instructed to attend to the matter.Nobody would imagine from this account that a very serious question was involved in this, no less than the adequacy of the city's water supply te mest alt needs.\u2018 The complaint of Mr.Bis sonette is not a new one, it was voiced in the Chronicle a year ago, neither is Cote d'Abrehant the only locality afected, but the deficiency extends to all quarters of the city, from the iniposing residences in the Grande Alles, to the factories in St.Roch and 8f.Seuveur.We ourselves had occe- sion last winter to complain that at certain hours of the night the water furnished by the city to the Chromicle office and the buildings in the vicinity did \u2018not rise higher than the first flat, and we pointed out the incrensed risks of fire it an Incipient blaze was ° discovered ia the, upper flats of these buildings at such times, Wo are credibly informed lat the same state of affairs existe rt (his moment in factories in St.Roch, that is to say, fu the lower portions of the city es well as in the mors elevated ones, and the comphaint is more frequent in the winter time, nhen the dangers of fire are greater ihan in the summer.When we spoke of the matter we received the rame rsplanation os has been now given fo the water-comurit- tee, to the effect that the pressure was \u201csometimes\u201d too weak, and this it was further explained was owing to the wastefulness of .housekeepers who preferred to kerp & thin trickle of fin Ni of those of any former i ing | Your is predic water flowing from the faucets during | alue of the exports wil roach the might to the prospect of wakening up in tho morning to find there water pipes froeen solid; the winter being an unusually severe one.The explana: lion was not a very convincing, or « very satisfactory ome, but it was better than nothing, and it might be considered to huld out fairly well for buildings in the Upper Town, though we scarcely think it would have diminished any damages which would have been sustained if the fire had broken out in the upper flats of any of them, but that the pressure should not be sufficient tn raise the water above the first flat of factories in the Lover Town is quite another thing, ond argues a errious defickency in the water supply of the city, It would not be utiteasonable to conclude from it, wither that the Aqueduct at Lorette is not high enough, which we do pot believe, or that the main is not \u2018arge enough; as tn the feeble pressure being induced hy wasteful houss-keepers, that is all child\u2019s talk ; it is true that little drope of watee form the mighty ocean, but we doubt very much whether the combined waste of ail the city housekeepers coukl produce the effect claimed, At any rate it ought not ; it is a contingency that ought to be taken into consideration im the provision of the water supply, hocause it always will occur to a greater or less degree, and it is impossible to prevent it altogether.This matter of the water supply should receive more then a cursory notice from the Water Committee, and, as we have said, it is likely to have considerable weight in the fixing of Fire Insurance rates, Shoe Polish Bleck.Ton and White Shining your own shees with 2 in Lie botha luxury $8(0,000000, This exhibit places us, as exporters, far ahewd of any people of the same number.Our per capita trade is four times that of the United States.A favorable factor in this prosperity ie that it bas been effected largely by the employment of Canadian capital.Not many years ago we looked to others to invest their money in enterprises for the development of our natural resources.When we hed a rail way to build, or a canal to construct, or large fnduetria] works to establish, or mio wealth to exploit, we placed our on the United States or British markets.At the same time we placed our own money in chartered or saving banks.And we are not yet as self-reliant, as we should be.This is evident in the fact that we still have $500,000,000 on deposit in chartered and $100.000,000 in savings banks.But we are, happily, ebandon- ing the policy of looking to outsiders for the money +6 develop our material resources.We will ourscIven take the risks incident to industrial enterprises.The millions hence lying idle in bankers vaults, or employed for us by the financial agents, will be invested directly im mines, in agricul ture, and factories.\u2014Kingston News.CANADA\u2019S FISHERIES.Half a million dollars increase in the value of Canadian fisheries during the past year indicates thmt still another of Canada\u2019s industries is in a thriving condition and is contributing largely to the indurtrial wealth of the Dontinion.To dwellers in the interior the importance of the fishing industry is obscured by the constant evidenors of agricultural and manufacturing development except for the occasional issuing of reports dealing with the fisheries of the Dominion.According to the annual report of the fisherios just issued an army of nearly reventy thousand fishermen during the past year toiled on our deep-sea hanks and great inland lakes, taking from these waters Over twenty-three million dollars\u2019 worth of fish for the home and foreign markets.In thirty-five years the piscine wealth of owr waters in the five principal commercial kinds of nea fishes alone hes reached the enormous min of four hundred million dollars.Nova Scoria, New Brunswick and British Columbia still maintain the lead in this iglusiry, contributing sixty per cent.of the catch.The steady advance of the salmon fisheriss of Bri fish Columbia is thé most important thing to be recorded, mt the appreciable gain in the fisheries of Ontario and an economy.2in 1 and Manitoba are vert of note, B Polish is Lhown ae Tt ie predicted that the returns of 1oék Light.the 1905 catch when completed will show the year to be the banner vear SUT Hl [in the fisheries sohedules.\u2014Otiawa Free Press.\u2014 District Attormey Jorome has, it is veported, taken & radical step in connection with the aftermath of the insurance investigation.Hom.Mr.Cortelyou, Postmaster-General of the United States, hed charge of Roose velt's cpmpaign fund in the last elec: tion, portion of the press of New York has been gi at Jerome because he refu to for the in- diotment of the officials of the big ix- vot dise biao! dfiine with onlyaninetant'e rub.Don\u2019 take sybstitutes or imitations.Black and Tan in 16e.and Ste.tite FRIDAY, .RHEUMATISM 7 Prioe 2Bo, Monrors !

material supplies apd royalties, 6.18 cents; capital, 5.96 cents.These results was even more striking for 1905.The uction of ail parties was 61,410,601 tons; the increase in cost of production over 1901 was 36.77 cents per ton, or 22,590,530.49, 670,670.66 were paid to labor.The increase in amount realized was 37.57 cents ton, or $39,071,812582.Of this increase the cost of production absorbed $22,580,530.00, and $491, 291.63 remained.The increase in price was, therefore, 37.57 cents per ton, which was distributed as follows: Labor, 33.66 cents; materials and roy- slties 0311 cents; capital, .08 cents.These figures show that increase in cost has practically absorbea the increase in price.The prosperity of the producers is due to the increased demand; they have not made more profit on each ton of coal, but have sold more coal.In addition less than half of the business of the anthracite railroads consists in carrying anthracite coal; mors than half of their revenue arises {rom miscellaneous business.That, of course, has participated in the general prosperity of the country,\u201d A BRUTAL PROCEEDING.Odessa, March 29.\u2014Acting under the orders of Vice-Admiral Chouknin, commander of the Black Sea fleet the bodies of Lieut.Schmidt and his three comrades who were shot March 19th for mutiny, were exhumed last night, taken to the open sca and sunk, The authorities have issued a public order that visits to the burial place of the mutineers and the placing on the graves of wreaths must cease.Will be found an excellent remedy for sick headache, Carter's Little ver Pills, Thousands of letters from people who have used them prove this fact.Try them.WILL RETIRE THE RECICIDES.Belgrade, Servia, March 29.\u2014~The leaders of the Rogicides will shortiy be placed on the retired list, thus hav: ing the way for a resumption of diplomatic relations with Great Bribarred from wearing the army uni: form.As a sop to the Regicides some thirty of their most active opponents will also be retired.Since the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Drags in June, 1903, Great Bri- Kidney-Liver Pills.\u201cWhen our food is properly digrated and assimilated, the te abies promptly excreated und all the or gans working in bermony we well.When any derangnnents of torse functions occur we are sick,\u201d If we wait to consider for 8 moment what a large proportion of such de- | rengensuts arise {rom constipation of the bowls, torpid ty of the liver and | sliggish action of the Kidneys it is | not difficult to umlerstand the nr.reaching effects of Dr.Chase Kid: ney-Liver litle as a means of preventing anccuring discase, One of the raults of our artificial modern life, and more especially tht of winter, is too much eating and ton little exercise.The liver and kidneys ars overworked in their effort to remove tthe excess of waste matter, and when they fail in this work disorders of some kind are bound to \u201cTe wily with the Ii s unummdly with t ver that troukile hegina.The hile which should be.poured into the intentines to aid digestion and insure healthful action of the bbwls in left in the blood to poison the aywetem.Headache, béllimueness, liver complaint and constipation are followed y furic acid poisoning, kidney dis esse and heu tin when the lu: pures play ont.Dr.Chase's Kidnev liver Pilla brgin by mlivening the action of the Liver end howels, and thereby effecting à thorough cleansing of the whole Altering and excretory systems.By this means conetination.billiouensss, indi.!gestion and all their accompanying j symptoms are removrel, Then hy their «lireet action on the [ kidwers they purify the blood of ure | acid poison, which la the cause of | rheumatism, backache, lumbago end \u201cal the dreertid painful ar! fate! dinenrea of the Kidney : red n newspapers have appea \u2018tram time to time thowsands of let.tern from reraone whe have bee one.ad hv Dr.Chasen Kiinev Tiver Pillalin tha majority of the homm of Canada this great amily medicine te constantly kept on hand an a preventive and cure for there commen of life.One pill a done;
