military field of operations. They
are intended to replace the small
cohorns which are used in trenches
for shelling an enemy behind
eai thworks or like defenses, and
out of direct lire cf field guns.
Their range is nearly three times
as great as the eoho.'ti smooth bore
mortars. The projectile is more
than twice as heavy, and great ac
curacy of lire is obtained. The
Aeight of the piece is about 5L'o
pounds, so it can be easily trans

around by men in trenches.

this afternoon from the west. In
an interview on the prospect of
success of the proposed demand
for eight hours a day by the min
ers of the country he saws he has
consulted with representative
labor men in all sectums, and has
been assured of their heartiest
support, both financially and in
other ways, should the threatened
strike occur.
The interstate convention of
miners and opera'ors caine to an
uiihdrmonious end suddenly this
evening. Alter a fierce battle ot"
words and opinions, further talk
was declared profitless and an ad
journment sine die was elfected.
This action means practically that
the interstate agreement has been
abolished and the amicable and
harmonious relations that have
existed between classes for the
past live years are broken oil' and
may not be resumed. It also
means that seventy-live thousand
mine workers in Ohio and Penn
sylvania regions i!l stop work on
the first of May. As thft mine
workers of the country will also
