NEW YORK, March, 26. The industrial department of the National Civic Feder ation met here today to hear the plea of the United MIneworkers for assistance in adjusting their differences -with the mine operators. Senator M. A. Hanna, Oscar S. Straus, Bishop Henry C Potter, Franklin MacVeagh. Lewis Nixon, Charles A. Moore, Marcus M. Marks, William H. Pfahler, Ralph M. Easley, Frank P. Sar gent and James Duncan acted for the Civic Federation, and the mineworkers were represented hy John Mitchell, presi dent of the National organization; Thomas Nichols, John Fahey and Thomas Duffy, district presidents of the mlpeworkers and participants in the Shamokin conven tion which formulated the demands of the men. The meeting was held at Church Mission House behind closed doors. It "was an nounced that after John Mitchell and his assistants had stated their request, the in dustrial committee would hold another ex ecutive session to decide upon Its course. Some of the members of the industrial committee expressed doubt as to the pro priety of Intervention by the organization at this time. They seemed to think that there was still opportunity for direct nego tiation "between the miners and mine oper ators. Before the conference began, John Mitchell said there were 140,000 miners who wanted better pay and a yearly con tract covering the terms of their work with the mineowners. He said that the granting of their demand for a contract would mean their recognition as organized labor. He would not say that the United Mineworkers intended to demand an eight hour day. Senator Hanna expressed the hope that there would be peace. He said he saw nothing in the situation that could not be adjusted, .The conference adjourned at 1 P. M., and Senator Hanna made the following statement: "Wo talked with the representatives of the miners and got at what their desires are. We don't anticipate trouble, and the best of spirit was manifested here today. So as to get further Information, and, if possible, get into communication with the other side the operators a sub committee of three was appointed, which will report back to the industrial depart Tnent of the National Civic Federation to morrow. The committee is composed of myself, ex-Minister Straus and Mr. Dun can, the general secretary of the Granite Cutters' Union." Senator Hanna spent omo time this afternoon at the office of J. P. Morgan, "where he conferred with Mr. Morgan, th& latter's partner, George W. Perkins; and Messrs. Widener and Griscom. of Philadel phia. On leaving he declined to say whether or not he had discussed the labor situation in the mining region. Regarding the meeting of the coal min ers' representatives and the conciliation committee, the Herald will say tomor row: "There is no likelihood of a strike in the anthracit" district this year. The miners have formulated their demands, and the operators will probably meet them half way. Tie announcement was made last night on the best authority, af ter Senator Hanna's conference with J. P. Morgan, and the threatened trouble will be averted mainly through the efforts of the two men who were the chief fac tors In settling the big strike in the Presi dential campaign of 1900. Senator Hanna is one of the most earnest advocates of the cause of arbitration, and he presented the situation from his view point with such force that Mr. Morgan was convinced that the operators should yield a point. "Mr. Morgan Is In control of some of the coal roads, and Is in a position to decide upon the course of action to be taken without reference to any other coal mag nates. He sees no particular objection to recognizing the United Mine Workers of America, as the union Is called, through his signing contracts with the individu als employed, especially If the present wage scale can be maintained for an other year. He does not believe that the union Is particularly strong with the min ers. He will agree to terms that he deems reasonable, and Senator Hanna was Jubi lant when he left him, being convinced that the strike would be averted." BIG STRIKE FUND. . , Miners Are Preparing: for Coming . Trouble. INDIANAPOLIS. March 26. The United Mineworkers of America, whose Nation al offices are in Indianapolis, for some time have been making preparations for trouble In both the Pennsylvania an thracite region and the bituminous fields - of West Virginia and Virginia, and it Is said that the organization Is' In bet ter position than ever before to make a fight for recognition. The January convention of the miners "" in Indianapolis empowered the National executive board to levy a Strike assess ment of 10 cents a month on each mem ber of the union. The assessment was immediately ordered, and the returns are now coming in at the National head quarters. It Is expected that this source r alone will net the organization for strike purposes something like 125,000 or $30,000 a month, as it Is understood that over 250,000 men are paying the assessment. Last year the National organization ex pended ?202,000 in carrying on strikes. In addition to this the locals In many dis tricts subscribed to the strike fund with out reporting to the National headquar ters. In this way $50,000 more was raised. If there is a strike in the anthracite region, all of the members of the organi zation, which covers 24 states, may be '. called out, as the January convention at Indianapolis empowered the National of ficers to go to that extreme, if neces sary, to bring about a settlement. Colorado MineivorkerV Convention. PUEBLO. Colo., March 26. The third day of the 15th district convention of United Mineworkers made some progress toward the organization of life Insurance for members. The convention adopted resolutions requesting Governor Orman to remove Adjutant-General Gardner on ac count of remarks attributed to him criti cising the conduct of the miners' union at Telluride. Coal miners at Durango, who have gone on strike, were ordered to re turn to work pending a conference to be . held with the Durango operators Saturday. Bad condition of many mines was report-v ed, the air supply being bad and powder being kept in the mines. The convention will tomorrow hold an executive session to consider means for having the laws en . forced against such mines and securing 1 fcafe methods and more air. Means of abolishing the script system will also be taken up. The men repudiate the state ment made recently that they have threat ened to strike to secure a bimonthly pay day. Strike In Ioira Probable. DES MOINES. la., March 26. Unless the unforeseen transpires, every miner In n Ioa will walk out at midnight, March 31 1 and a strike will be Instituted, the conse quences of which cannot be foretold. At the joint conference of the miners and op erators this morning the issues were squarely drawn, and the operators form ally announced that they will not agree to employ shot-flrers, nor will they agree to the uniform day wage scale demanded. President Reese, in behalf of the mine workers, asked the operators if they would arbitrate their differences. The operators flatly refused. The miners im '' mediately went into secret session to de termine uponyi course to pursue. As pre viously outlined by President Reese, fail ure to reach agreement will operate to efr feet a general walk-out next Monday night at the expiration of last year's agreement Norfolk Strikers Enjoined. NORFOLK, Va,, March 26. An Injunc tion has been signed by Judge Daniel, of the Corporation Court, restraining IS em ployes and other persons from Interfering In any manner with the Norfolk Railway & Light Company. The two committees from the labor unions, with authority to settle the strike, called on the street railway officials to. day, and asked for concessions. These were refused, the company declining to treat with the men as a body. Loivell Votes to Strike. LOWELL, Mass., March 26. The textile Council today voted to order a strike in the cotton mills of this city March 31, because of the refusal of the mill agents to grant a 10 per cent lncreaso In wages in conformity to the wage increase' at Fall River. The strike will directly affect about 20,000 operatives. Strike Declared Off. YORK. Pa., March 26. The molders' strike, inaugurated in this city last May, has been declared off in all the foundries affected but one. The strikers have been given the wages they demand, but the employers refuse to recognize their or ganization. Cincinnati Brewery Strike. CINCINNATI, O., March 26.

"The World's Sugar Production and Consumption, 1800 1900" is the-title of a monograph just is sued by the Treasury Bureau of Statis tics. It discusses the sugar production and consumption of the world during the past century and especially during the last half-century, ln'whlch the burden of sugar production has been transferred from cane to the sugar beet, and In which the world has so largely Increased its consumption of sugar. The world's sugar production has grown from 1.150.000 tons In 1S0 to 8,800,000 tons in 1990. During the same period, the world's population has grown, according to the best estimates, from 950,000.000 to about 1,500,000,000. ThtiB sugar production has increased about 650 per cent, while population was Increasing but about 50 per cent. Coming nearer home, and considering the United States alone, 'it Is found that the consumption of sugar, which In 1S50 was only 22 pounds per, capita, was In 1901 over 63 pounds per capita. One especially strlkinir fact showa by the statistics presented in this study Is j the rapidly; Increasing proportion of the J world's enlarged sugar consumption which is supplied by beets. According to the figures presented by this study, beets, ( which supplied In 1840 Jess than 5 per cent of the world's sugar. In 1900 supplied 67 i per cent of the greatly Increased con-1 sumption, while cane, which then sup piled $5 per cent of the world's sugar j consumption, now supplies but T3 pe"r cent. 1 Stated In quantities, it may be said that ' the world's cane sugar supply has grown from 1,100.000 tons In ISiO to 2.830.000 tons In 1900. an Increase of 160 per cent, while that or beets has grown from 50.000 tons in 1E40 to 5,930,000 tons in 1900, an Increase of 11,800 per cent The figures heretofore quoted Include 1 that portion which enters into the world's ' statistical record of sugar production, but docs not Include the large quantities of cane sugar produced in India and China j exclusively for home consumption, and In a considerable number of the tropical countries does not include that portion of the sugar consumed at home. Even If these figures of cane sugar production or j home consumption were obtainable, the production from beets would stiH. show a ! much more rapid growth during the last ' half-century than that from cane. This Is apparently due to two great causes first, . the elimination of slavery In the tropics, I the sent of the principal sugar production, , and. second, the intelligent study of-ana government aid to the production of beet sugar in the temperate zone, especially in European countries. One effect of this enormous Increase and the competition which has accompanied the developments above alluded to has been a great reduction in prices to the consumer. The figures of the Bureau of Statistics, obtained from statements sup plied by Importers of the cost In foreign countries of the sugar which they Import, ehow that the average cost of the sugar Imported In 1871-2 was 5.37 cents per pound, and In the year 1899-1500, 2.49 cents per pound. The sugar production of France has grown from 23.000 metric tone In the sugar year 1B39-40 to S05.000 tons in 1S93-1900; that of Germany, from 12,659 metric tons in 1839-40 to 1.875.000 tons in 1900-1901: Aus tria. Hungary, from 23,000 metric tons In 1853-54. the earliest date for which figures are obtainable, to 1.120.000 tons In 1599 1900; Rxlssla, from 19.000 metric tons In 1S53-54 to 900.000 tons In 1899-1900; Belgium, from 12,000 metric tons in that year to 300.000 tons In 1899-1900; Holland, from 1000 metric tons in 1860-61 to 180,000 tons in i 1899-1900. Turning to the cane sugar pro- j duclng areas. In which the statistics are not available for so long a period. It is found that the exports from the Philip pine Islands increased from 23,416 metric tons In 1849 to 233.000 metric tons In 1896. From Cuba the exports in i860 wero 537,491 tons, and in 1854 963,750; In Hawaii, the production has grown from 11,200 tons In 1875 to 243.470 tons In 1899. Java produced in 1884 338.866 tons, and in 1901 765.000 tons, and Brazil, which In 1SS4 produced 263,335 ton, produced in 1901 215,000 tons. The table which follows shows the world'B production of sugar from cane and beets, respectively, at decennial years from 1840 to 1900, and the percentage sup plied by beets supplied Cane sugar.

Maybe She, Is, After All, Oar Best Friend In Europe. San Francisco Call. How completely trade Ib separated from sentiment Is shown by the recent publication of Treasury statistics relat ing 'to our trade with Spain. Since "the war In which we stripped the Spanish of almost the whole of their colonial empire their feeling toward us can hardly be one of great friendliness, and jet we have bden able to offer them such good terms for both imports and exports that their commerce with us has actually increased. Tho diplomatic officials of other nations have of late vied with one another in declaring the friendliness of their govern ments for the United States during tho Spanish War, and yet, if we may Judge by trade statistics, our roil friend Is Spain herself. The figures, of the Treasury Bureau .of Statistics show that both the Imports into the United States from Spain and exports from the United States to Spain were, with a single exception, greater in the calendar yeir 1901 than in any preceding year. Our Imports from Spain during the year ending with" December, 1901, amounted to t7.040.76S, and our exports to Spain were $16,765,711. Comparing 1S01 with 1S91, it Is shown that our Imports from Spain bave grown .from $4,906,475 to $7,040,768. ana that exports to Spain from the United States hive increased from $12,887,477 to 16,TS5,7H. Cdmparlng present conditions with those of 1898, It appears that our imports from Spain have In; creased from $i,S0S,3QS in 189S to the aboTe mentioned figure, $7,040,758, and our ex ports to Spain from $3,050,475 in 1898 to $16,785,711. It is noted by the Treasury officials that the growth, of our trade with Spain is the more Interesting beciuse our exports to many other European countries show a decline. Thus It appears that in the calehdar year 1501 our exports to Austria Hungary, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland and the United Kingdom show a decrease as compared with 1900: while to Spain they ahow an Increase from $16,200,917 to $16,755,711. On the Im port side our imports from Auslrla Hungnry, Germany. Russli, Sweden nnd Norway and Switzerland show a decrease, while those from Spain have Increased from $5,382,662 in 1900 to $7,040,753 In lWh Our exports to the Spanish consist mainly of articles used In manufacturing, such as cotton, lumber and crude mineral oil, We also export to them a goo'd dhal of tobacco. From them we Import mainly frUlts, wines, nuts, oil, chemicals, cork, and a certain grade of iron ore not read ily produced ia the United States. Call fornians will note with Interest that our Imports of oranges, lemons and raisins are not nearly so large as they were some, years ago. as California producers are now supplying- a large part of the home demand. Another statement of the re port, however. Is not so gratifying. It appears th'at our Imports of preeerved fruits from Spain have increased. This shows that while we are content to get such -profits as result from producing green fnilt or dried 'fruit, the Spaniards are deriving In our market the larger profits which flow ffoni the manufacture of finer preserves. The time ought not to be far distant when California, will supply the East with that kind of goods also. MANILA CHOLERA REPORT Ferty-niae Case and Forty-nine Deaths Up to Noon Yesterday. MANILA, March 26. At noon today the health authorities reported a total of 49 cases of cholera and 4 deaths. For -the Protection of Marines. WASHINGTON. March 25. The Navy Department has given Rear-Admiral Frank Wilder, the ranking Admiral in" the service, authority to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent the spread Of the cholera epidemic which prevails at Manila, to the officers and men of the naval establishment at Cavlte. As far as can be learned here, the epidemic is con fined to the natives and Chinese in Ma nila, and does not prevail among the whites. PHILIPPINE CITIZENSHIP. Section of Government Bill Adopted by Senate Committee. WASHINGTON, March 26. The Senate committee on Philippines today completed consideration of the Philippine govern ment bill, with the exception of that por tion relating to the currency of the ls-and, and adjourned after a brief session, in order to give the sub-committee having the currency question under considera tion further time to prepare a report. The full committee today adopted the follow ing as a section of the bill: "That all inhabitants of the Philippine Inlands continuing to reside therein who were Spanish subjects on the llth day Of April, 1899, and then resided In the Philippine Islands, and their children born subeequcntjthcreto, shall be deemed and held to be citizens of the Philippine Islands, and as such entitled to the pro tection of the United States, except such ao t'hall have elected to preserve their allegiance to the crown of Spain, and tbe3 together with such citizens of the United States ns may reside In tho Philip pine Island, shall constitute a body politic under the name of the people of the Philippine Islands." REBEL LEADER CAPTURED. One of Ills Bodyjcnard, Thouffht to Be Malver, Also CauRht. MANILA, March 26. Noriel, the only In surgent General, with the exception of Malver, still In the field, has been cap tured by Lieutenant Bamford, of the 28th Infantry. A Major, a Captain, a Lieuten ant and five men., who were acting as a bodyguard to Noriel, were captured with him. There Is same reason to believe that one member of this bodyguard Is General Malver lit disguise. Noriel has been one of the recognized leaders of the insur rection since 1899. . "The continuation today of the court-martial of Major Waller, of the Marine Corps, who is charged with the execution, with out trial, of natives on Samar Island, developed no new features. Alcohol Motor Wanted. BERLIN, March 26. In today's Issue of the Rcichsanzclger, the Minister of Labor nnd Agriculture publishes an" offer for first, second and third prizes of 10,000 marks, 5000 marks and 25O0 marks respect ively for the best alcohol motors fof mili tary usages. These motors must be made in Germany. They are to weigh less than eight tons, and must be capable of draw ing 16 tons on good roads. The motor itself must be able to cross meadows, plowed lands and water 18 Inches deep. The above offer Is a result of -the Initiative of Emperor William, who has long been Interested in alcohol motors and engines. German farmers are interested in the idea because alcohol Is made from potatoes. " Flood Stops Traffic. BISMARCK, ,N. D., March 26. Heavy rains following upon melting snow from lapt week's storms have stopped traffic on the Northern Pacific road at McKenzIe, where the Immense low flats are over flowed with a lake of water. Yesterday's delayed passenger train came through sev eral feet of water, and late last night the water grew so much more threatening that no trains were run. Passengers were transferred today. All trains will be con siderably delayed. Preparing: for a Junket. WASHINGTON,. March 26. The minor ity members of the Senate committee on the Philippine) are considering the ad visability of presenting to the full com mittee a proposition for a visit to the Philippine Islands during the next vaca tion for the purpose of investigating con ditions there and of tajting the testimony of leading Filipinos. . The matter will probably be brought to the attention of the committee at an early date. Strack a Bnjfpry. PUEBLO, Colo., March 26". The incom ing Rock Island passenger train struck a buggy at a street-car crossing In East Pueblo this afternoon, killing Mrs. John Claro and her Infant son, and fatally in juring MIsb Ella Hlnes, aged 21 years. Protest Against Meat Law. BERLIN, March 26. The Agricultural Departments of the states comprising the empire are gathering material throughout 10ST LAKE. Said to Be Fabulonily Rick In Coarse Gold. Prospecting for gold makes husky men. even if they don't always find the gold. Sometimes these men can tell interesting tales. Joseph Morehead, whose headquarters are In Elgin, Or., writes: "Last Fall I came down here, attracted by the rich strikes In the Baker City fields. On my arrival I heard a 'faiiy story' of a 'lost lake' In the Blue Mountains which was said to be fabulously rich In coarse gold. The story had all the 'exr marks' of the Most mine' and 'lost cabin' stories to be heard In every mining district: Prospect or driven out by Indians, brought pocket full of nuggets with him, died and left tHe customary rough sketch of the local ity, etc, etc "I determined to have a look for It, and as the formation Is volcanic It Is too rough for pack animals. The problem was how to carry food enough. In addition to ray pick, pan, and blanket, for a two weeks? sojourn In the mountains. "I 'had, a short time before, been pros pecting with an old mountaineer in the Bitter Ro6t Range in Montana. He was an enthusiast on the subject of Grape Nuts and Postum Coffee. In fact he lived on them. I ueed to 'josh' him about his grub but soon grew to like It myself and finally got to eating Grape-Nuts threo times a day and as much oftener as I got the chance. "So, with my former experience in mind. I got five packages of Grape-Nuts and some packages of Postum Coffee, which, with a little sUgar and salt, were all the supplies I took with me, and for nine days' laborious climbing over the roughest country out of, doors I had nothing else except an occasional trout caught from the stream. X came back feeling first class and am offering to bet that I can average 30 miles a day over mountain trails with 30 P6Unds of blankets, etc, on nothing but Grape-Nuts." This food can be digested and will fat ten a nursing Infant, and It also sustains and works wonders with the hardest physical and mental workers, including football and baseball players, athletes of all kinds, editors, doctors, ministers, law yers, business men and other brain workers. the country to be used in framing a pro test against the meat regulations.

Contracted Disorders To but partially cure a contracted disease is almost as dangerous as to allow It to go untreated. Unless every particle of infection and In flammation Is removed, the proba bility exists that the disease will gradually work Its way Into the general system. Still greater Is the danger of the prostate gland becom ing chronically Inflamed, which al ways brings partial or complete loss of power. Perhaps 25 per cent of the cases of so-called "weak ness" are a direct result of some Im properly treated cdntracted dis ease. During the past five years we have treated over 6500 cases of contracted disorders, and have ef fected an absolutely thorough and safe cure In each instance. There have been no relapses or undesir able developments whatever, and our patients have been cured in less time than other and less thorough forms of treatment require in pro ducing even doubtful results PORTLAND OFFICE!
