It is reported that we will not have a coal strike after all. The var ious conferences between the opera tors on the one hand and the miners on the other have resulted, according to the published statements, in the complete rejection of each and every one of the miners' demands. The labor organization began the contro versy with a number of proposed agreements. Each conference result ed in the surrendering of one or more until finally the situation resulted in one solitary demand the recognition of the union. The operators stead fastly held to their original proposi tion, which was to continue the agree ment arranged by the Anthracite Coal Strike'Commission. It is claim ed, and not without reason, that this wage scale, determined during a period of national prosperity, really means' an increase of wages when maintained during a financial depres sion such as the country has exper ienced since the latter part of 1907. There is little doubt that the coal miners have been fortunate in the matter of high wages, and their ef forts to create a labor agitation at this time has not been viewed with sympathy by the general public. American Industries. MPRISQNED AID I I ROAD-BUILDING SCHEME. Governor Gillctt, of California, is advocating an ambitious good roads project. He wants the state to build two great highways from north to south, one down the coast and the other through the centnl valleys, especial ly the San Joaquin. The coast line would be largely for tourists, but the inland route would serve an extensive agricultural coun try. The San Joaquin Valley is 250 miles long and from CO to 100 mile STRANGE AND PECULIAR EX- PERIENCE OF A LINER IN MID OCEAN. NEW YORK. May 17 The Brit sh steamer Volturno which arrived here yesterday, had a remarkable ex perience with icebergs in mid-At lantic. At 3 a. m. on Sunday May 9, Captain James Harrison found that- his vessel, which cairied 200 passen gers and a large consignment of freight from England, was complete i.. j.j i . . v ouiiuunucu oy iceDergs ana ice floes. The engines were slowed down and at daylight the Volturno was so completely hummed in that the cn gines were stopped and all of Sunray tne vessel drifted as a prisoner with tne ice. At times there was a great danger of the giant icebergs crushing the ship between them, but Captain Har rison found himself unable to do any thing because the ics completely sur rounded him. A wind sprang up early Monday morning, making a channel through the ice and the Vol turno quickly sped out of this and liberated herself. Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured. "An honored citizen of this town was suffering from a severe attack of dysentery. He told a friend if he could obtain a bottle of Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, he felt confident of being cured, he having used this remedy in the West He was told that I kept it in stock and lost no time ii obtain ing it, and was promptly cured," says M.

Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor and Fort Erie, many of the leading bookmakers who have been features of the New York tracks ofr years will take up their oc cupation there. Announcement made at their club last night indicated that they did not believe in their ability fo mike a living at the New York tracks this summer, because of the restric tions on betting and the limited num ber of racing dates, it is believed that the invasion of the Canadian tracks by New York bookmakers will drive the home bookmakers out of the field and wilt result in livelier times on those tracks. After canvas sing the results of two days exper 'ence on the Belmont track last week the bookmakers last night seemed to be of the opinion that there was no money for them this year in Ner York. Under the "oral betting" per mitted by recent court decisions, thi bookmakcis are able to accept be's crly from persons whom they know personally and whom they can trust for a later settlement of their accounts. It so happens that most of he persons who the bookmakers know are as well versed on the chances of the various horses to wiii as they are themselves. Therefore their chance to win is very small and from an exceptionally limited field. REVELATION OF PEACE CON FERENCE AND THE ATTI TUDE OF AMERICA. PEACE FOUND BY LAZY NEW YORK CRBAL YEARNS FOR A LIFE SEN TENCE IN GRIM OLD SING SING. WASHINGTON, May 17. As is well-known, preliminary to the sec ond peace conference at The Hague, the American Government gave notice to Russia that it reserved the liberty to propose for consideration the reduction or limitation of arma ments in the hope that, as expressed by Secretary Root, "if nothing further can be accomplished, some slight ad vance may be made toward the real 'nation of the lofty conception which actuated the Emperor of Russia in calling the first conference." In giving this notice to Russia Secretary Root had the following in teresting observation to make touch ing the feelings of Americans on free dom of apprehension from attack a is disclosed in the Diplomatic Corps of the State Department during the year 1906, just made public- "This Government is not unmindful of the fact that the people of the United States dwell in comparative security, partly by reason of their isolation and partly because they have never become invoked in the numer ous questions to which many centu ries of close neighborhood have given rise in turn. They are tliercfor free i'om apprehensions of attack which are to so great an extent the cause of great armaments and it would ill become them to be insistent or for ward in a matter so much more vital to the nations of Europe than to them. It sometimes happens that the very absence of a special interest in a subject enables a nation to make suggestions and urge considerations which the more deeply interested ni tion might hesitate to present."
