They are not members of the United Mlne Workers* organlzation, and it is expected that the trouble will be settled ln a few days.

As ln 1896. tho silver partles are united, un<ler the same leader who lmmedlately after the olectlon of that year, ln an address to the blmetaUlsts, said: "The frlends of blmetallism have not been vanqulshsd; they have Blmply been overcome. They believe that the gold standard ls a consplracy of the money chan^ers against the wclfare of the human raee, and they will contlnue th? warfare against lt." 8o the lustie Is prcscnted. It will be noted that the demand ls for the Immedl ate restoration of the free colnage ol silver at 16 to 1. If another issue ls pnra mount, this ls lmmedlate. It will admit ol no do'ay and will suffer no postponement.

He then entwrs Into an exhausttve fllscus. slon of the I'hlltpplnes questlon, ln tht course of whlch he says; Nobody who will avail hlmsolf of the facts will longer hold that there was any alllance between our soldiers end the In .urgents, or that any promlse of Inde? pendence was made to them. Lonif before their leader had reached Manlla they had resolved. If the commander of the Ameii can navy would glve them arm. with whlch to flght the Spanish army. they would later turn upon us, whlch they did murdi-rously nnd wlthout the ahadow of oau.se or Justtncatlon.
