It was stated that thereafter confer ences were held between officials or representatives of tho principal oper ators, who thcri'toforo had offered said advance in wag. s and representatives of tho principal ontractors. "The dofendaiit was obliged to agree with certain ontractors several of whom had pre-existing contracts for the purchase of coa! to be produced by thorn respectively. and who were severally ten ants or lessees of tho defendants to en ter into new contracts with such as should desire to do so. Increasing prices wcro to be paid for coal to bo produced by them respectively and to be sold and delivered to tho doefnd ants." Forced to Increase Price Continuing, the answer avows that all conferences be ween oporators and con tractors woro v liolly brought about and compollcd and forced upon tho defend ant by "turbulence, violence, intimida tion, and as aforesaid by the failure of tho KOVT.viyyjt and comomnwcalths of Pennsylvaiu , tWnforco tho laws to protect the defendant anil its workmen in tho pcacef .1 and lawful prosecution of their work ,uid by tho iihportiiuvvtVtr of said Ilnnn.i in tho supposed exigen cies of a peioing political campaign.

Tho full battory of furnaces has been in operation until sovoral days ago, when a lonk caused tho temporary closing down of ono of them. Tho railroad tieun for tho last weok has caused tho mining industry very little, if any, inconvenience, owing to tho excellent shape in which the sus pension of railroad operations found it. A largo supply of fuel, both oil and coal, has bcon accumulating hero for months past and at tho smolter the coko supply would last for several months if no moro arrived. Thero is also a largo reserve stoclc of sulphidos and concen trates. Development work has progressed without interruption at tho Old Domin ion and with good results. Tho crosscut in Block Xo. 0 on the 11th levol is being drivon through', which was not dono in tho preceding one. Tho width of tho Xo. 1 sulphide voin is only about seven feet in tho new crosscut, but tho oro is much higher in iron and sulphur. Xo. 2 vcin will bo encountered somo timo this week, as thirty feet of tho horse which divides tho two veins has bcon penotrated.

It is thought that tho voin in the deeper workings con tains oro in much larger quantities and hotter values and tho management is confident that mining can be dono there to good advantage. Tho first metal pro duct of tho Globo Consolidated will probably como from this portion of tho Globe-Boston. Another crosscut will be driven to the southwest and its developments will be of moro than ordinary interest to tho other companies operating in this sec tion of tho district. It will bo the first crosscut to go under Big Johnny gulch and will also bo ono of tho long est in tho district, as it is planned to havo it penetrate Buffalo Hill and con nect with tho Buffalo crosscut of tho Gray mine of tho Old Dominion at tho 740 level of that mino. Tho distance from tho Globe-Boston shaft to tho proporty lino between tho Buster claim of tho Globo Consolidated and tho Unit ed Globo is 2,200 feet, which will be tho length of tho crosscut. At tho Globe-Boston shaft the foun dation is being complotcd for tho in stallation of tho two 72-inch by 18-foot horizontal tubular boilers. Tho boilers are now on tho ground and will bo in stalled at once.

Tho Americans havo drawn up a new proposal with regard to tho collection of contractual debts, differing with the first proposition only in form. It is principally intended to do away with numerous reservations mado when the first proposal was put to a vote. The text is as follows: Tho American Plan "With tho view of preventing armed conflicts of pecuniary origin between nations, arising from demands of tho government of ono nation for the pay ment by tho government of another country of contractural debts duo to persons or to nations, tho powers agreo not to havo recourso to armed force for recovery of such contractural debts. Tho stipulation is not applicable, how ever, when a debtor state refuses or leaves unanswered an offer of arbitra tion or in cases of acceptance makes a conclusion or compromise impossible or after arbitration fails to conform to tho award. It is further agreed that tho arbitration question shall as regards procedure bo in conformity with Section 3, convention for pacific regulation of international conflicts, adopted at tho Hague, and that it shall determine the justice, amount of debt, time and meth od of settlement."
