A PITTSBURGH dispatch gays: Patrick McBryde, ex-Secretary of tho Miners' National Protective Union,and member of the Executive Board of the United Miners, is here, arrang'ng for the annual conference with the op.r- ators. He s«ys unless the operators of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iudiaua, and Illinois sign the interstate scale the greatest coal miners' strike ever seen in this country will take pi ce. It makes no difference whether the Pittsburgh operators are willing to grant the ad­ vance -or not. The lour States must act .together or a shut-down will be called by the miners' representatives. This will throw 75.0'0 miners idle.. As tho opera­ tors of Indiana and Illinois Lave virtual­ ly refused to go into the conference, the strike seems probable. THE Philadelphia and Beading Com­ pany's North Ashland colliery has shut down indefinitely, throwing 500 men and boys out of employment. ACROSS THE OCEAN. PRIVATE information from the War Department has been received at the Jefferson Barracks army post, nt St. Louis, that the President would shortly promulgat-i the long-expected Hmnesty to all • army deserters un to date, and will even take deserters out of prison. ^ THE visible supply of grain ns report­ ed to the Produce Exchange of New York is: Wheit, 30,755,758 bushels, a decreiso of 733,4'!5 bushels; corn, i:»,03K,4:57 bush­ els, an increase of 1,117,9 (0 bushels.

The Legislature has voted--by 27 to G--that French shall no longer be recognized as an official lan­ guage of the country.

ADVICES from Crete State that many more judges and lawyers have resigned their judicial and legal functions owing to the arbitrary order requiring legal proceedings in the courts to be c inducted in the Turkish langaage, and others aro preparing to leave both the conr.s and the country. THE report of the Parnell Commission is to the effect that the Piggott letters were forgeries; that Parnell nor Dav.tt were not concerned in the Ph<*nix Park tragedy, but that they and oih£r Iri*h leaders were working tor the separation of Ireland lrom England. A LIMA (Peru) cal^e reports the forma­ tion of a new cabinet as follows: Foreign Minister, Dr. Manuel Yrigoyen ; Min­ ister of State, Col. Guillermo Ferryos ; Minister of War, Col. Francitci do P.

Chamberlain (S, D.) dispatch: Okla­ homa's history was repeated when news was received that tho President had Issued his proclamation opening the Sioux reservation. Tho bulletin was re­ ceived at 3:30 o'clock, and two minutes Utcr tho frozen surface of tho Missouri was black with boomers, in wagons, on horseback and on foot, madly rushing toward the promised land. There wore ftflly three thousands persons in the throng, comprising a portion of tho overflow from Oklahoma, a large num- bor of New Englanders and about 500 South Dakotuns, principally residents of this city. For three months representatives of townslte companies having headquarters in Watertown, llpron, Mitchell and this eity have been here, each planning how to gst across tho river ahead of the othors and locate a town site immediate­ ly opposite Chamberlain. The represen­ tatives of the local company outgeneraled thoir competitors. Men were secreted in the brush along tho river bank, and as soon as news of the proclamation was received a cannon was tired by the com­ pany's chief at the telegraph office, and the nlen who had lain In the brush since midnight were up and across the river bcforO the other felloW3 had heard the news. There has been considerable claim- jumping already, and an endless train of wagon; and-sleighs Is convoying lumber and supplies to those who have staked out claims 011 tho broad acres pf tho reservation, Troops arc patrolling the reservation to preserve the peace, and although there will be m ich litljjf/jp'i between cla'mafits of land, particularly over tbe choice claims along tho river tank, there is no probability of any serUVTis trjubio. IMcrfj (S. IX) dispatch: The first intimation received by the thousands of boomers gathered that tho President had issued his proclamation opening the Sioux reservation settlement was con­ veyed bv the discharge of a cannon In front of the State-House. At once there was a scene of excitement. The crowd that blocked the street iu front of the telegraph oftiec since early morning mado a break for# tho coveted mile square across the river, but when they reached the west bank they found throe companies of troops under Col. Tossin drawn up in line. They were informed that as the military authorities had not received orders to allow settlers to enter tho reseivation none would be allowed there. This was a sore disappointment, but it was useless to parley. Col. Tossin' would not recede from his position, Two miles down the river from Fort Pierre several hundred boomers crosse-d tho river, Invaded the reservation and began to stake out claims. As soon as the main body had bcon driven back to this city the troops and Indiau police went in pursuit of the others, and all except a dozen or so have been sent back to this side. As the cannon started tho rush so It stopped the wheels of legislation tempo­ rarily. The 4 members of both houses shouted themselves lioaise and then ad­ journed in honor of the event. « HIS FATE IS UNCERTAIN MOT AT HULL, ONTARIO. JHlOIMmS SCHEME *0 SEC, 1' ' . lltENCH THKOKK.

D.) dispatch: ' The Infar mnus gchvMe to givo the Louisiana not- tery a legal foothold in this State was squelched with a suddenness that made some of Its supporters dizzy. A careful canvass of the House membership con­ vinced ax-Senator Spencer of Alabama, attorney for the company,, who has been doing all the plugging for the Sandagger lottery bill, that lie could not secure the necessary two-.thirds vote, lie then de­ ckled to abandon the fight and instruct­ ed his workers to lay down their hands. When the bill came up in tho House for its socond reading Representative Walsh moved to indefinitely nostpone consideration of it. Walsh had been favoring ihe bill, and this action on his part was seconded by Representative Stevens, who had also favored it. Rep­ resentative Walsh explained that the ob­ ject of tho motion to indefinitely post­ pone was to take the bill out of the way of other legislation and permit the busi­ ness of the session to proceed. Representative Stevens stated In re­ ply to a charge of tho minority that if this was to shut off tho investigation of the bill tha*: he desired to see the in­ vestigation proceed, A vote being taken, the motion to in­ definitely postpone tho bill carried. This, it is believed, is tho deaAli knell of the bill, and its opponents are jubilant. In the Senate, Bell, a Democrat, intro­ duced a resolution calling for an inves­ tigation of the charges of bribery on the bill* and also Included the State Repub­ lican convention and the United States Senatorial fight. No sooner had the resolution been introduced than Senator La Moure, Republican, rose and resented tho reflection that this resolution cast on the Republican party of the State. The resolution was passed by a unanimous vote, and Messrs. Rob­ inson, Baggart, and Har­ mon, Republicans, and McCormack and McBride. Democrats, were appoint­ ed as the committee. Already subprnnas have been issued for a number of the most prominent Republicans in tho State to appear before the committee. They aro E. W. Camp of Jamestown, re­ porter of the Supremo court: E. P. Wells. State Senator Bailey, Fuller and T. B. Casey of Minneapolis. Others who have been summoned are Lieut.-Uov. Dickey and Jesse Fry of Jamestown; George Carpenter of Williston, and N. C. Fanning of New Rockford. BOILED IN A BATH TUB. A Girl Scalded to Death In an Ohio Home * for Imbeciles. Columbus (Ohio) dispatch: A horrible accident occurred at the Home for the Imbeciles, near here, by which one of tbe inmates was scalded to death. Jennie Whitehead, a seventeen-year-old inmate from Hamilton, was sent with another patient to take a bath. She did not know how to get the water at tho proper temperature, and Jennie was so terribly scalded that convulsions set in and in a few hours tho unfortunate girl was dead, , Superintendent Doren says that it is a violation of the rules to allow inmates to bathe each other: but since so many of them have the grip it was necessary to do so. Miss Whitehead was a sister of Charles Whitehead, a prominent writer for the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. The itaattcr will no doubt be-investigated by the Legis­ lature. Will Supersede Cotton. ^ A Washington dispatch says: Post, botanist of the Agricultural /depart-- ment, has returned from Salem, Mass., where he has been Investigating a new process for weaving ramie fiber into cloth. He says the process is a success, and that in a short time ramlo fiber will supersede cotton and wool in cloth man­ ufacture because it is cheaper. He does not think it will hurt the cotton plant­ ers, as they can raise ramie fiber in­ stead of cottop The £ldest Snn of the Count de ParlsHn- ters France, In Violation or tho Exile Lsv, and Is Placed Under Arroit by tho Authorities--Ho Protests His Loyalty to ^the Krpublic.. Paris cable; By prompt action the government has nipped in the bud what was apparently intended to be a royalist coup d'etat, modeled after Louis Napo- lebn's mad descent upon Boulogne, and the only consequencc is that the Duke of Orleans, eldest son of the Count of Paris, is in custody. The Duke arrived in Paris last week bearing a letter sigued by tho Count of Paris announcing to the faithful and all others the Count's renunciation of all claim to the throne of France. He also had with ,him a manifesto addressed to tho people of France. Nominally, and according to the theory of pretenders, a pretender ts always a King, and therefore the Count of Paris abdicates tho throne he never possessed. He consequently abdicates his claims as a pretender, and in virtue of this abdication all his claims, rights, and titles descend to his eldest son, the gentleman now in the hands of the au­ thorities, Philippe Louis Robert, Duke of Orleans. The gentleman, therefore, Is not merely one of many vagrant princes, but the actual pretender to tho throne in virtue of his claims as the heir of Louis Philippe and also as tho heirs? of the old Bourbon line. His coming into tho country in violation of the law ban­ ishing all tho heads and direct heirs of reigning families, is a rash escapade, even if it stands alone. The fact that he was equipped with an appeal to the nation shows his intentions and may make the escapade serious for him. If it should bo developed that this movement is mado in virtue of an under- Stng^insf with the partisans of tho mon­ archy 111 Fi-an'66 It way be more than a more violation of the law of expulsion. There i& sc:ne reason to believe that the movement Is made in concert with tho more determined opponents of the rc- puhlic, as the Duke repaired immediate­ ly to house of the Duke of Luyres, the present head of a family that has al­ ways adhered •uncompromisingly to the old monarchy. In that house the young gentleman was King of Franco In theory--the descendant of Henry IV., and not merely the descendant of Louis Phillippe. On the day before Feb. *5 the Dulco of Orleans attained the age of 21. for ho was born on Feb. 6, 1869. The abdica­ tion of his lather, the manifesto, and the movement were all apparently planned with regard to that date and in order to electrify Franco with the de­ monstration that tho fortunes of the monarchy were now in new hands: that the crown now belonged on the head of a chevalier who would dare someeliing for it and not fold his hands in a quiet corner like another Chanjoord. The government was not caught nap- pintr, however. It was promptly in­ formed of the presence of the Duke in Paris, and of. his whereabouts. The Duke was in France in violation of the' law m ade purposely for excluding his father and himself as enemies of the republic. Therefore tho Duko of Orleans was at once arrested at the house of tho Duke, of Luvres. He was taken to t.ie pre ecture ot police, where his identity was fixed beyond all doubt, and where process* verbal of his violation of the law of banishment was drawn up. He was then detained at the con- ciorgerle. On the same day he was arraigned be­ fore the military authorities at tiio oon- tral bureau. In response to the inquiry as to the objects and purposes of his visit to France, he said that, having at­ tained his majority, he had come to Franco to place himself at the disposal of tho military authorities. Thi* dash of audacity is regarded as a very nappy stroke, and is sure to make friends for him, for a gallant French boy who wants to take his chance for conscription is a somewhat unusual and captivating figure to appear in the daily news. But this did not touch the sensi­ bilities of the hard-hearted authorities, and M. < onstancc, the minister of the interior, ordered that the Duke bo held in custody. The monarchist members ot the cham­ ber of deputies have decided to inter­ pellate the government as to its reason for Imprisoning the Duke. The Repub- lique-Francaise, in commenting on tho arrest of the Duke, points out that tho expulsion law imposes a penalty of from two to live years' imprisonment upon the head or direct heir of any family that has reigned in France who'vlolatfes Its provisions. THE STATE OF TRADE. • • ---- A Moderate Improvement Noted Otripj to More Seasonable Weather. New York dispatch: Bradstrcct's "State of Trade," says: Special tele­ grams indicate a moderate improvement in the movement of general merchan­ dise east of the Rocky Mountains, with more seasonable weather and conse­ quently a more active demand for staple goods.

The. scene before the tribunal when the Duke of Orleans was brought up for final hearing Was a memorable one. The court-room was packed and it is a long time since so many members of tho. Orleans family have been together in France. The royalists were present in great numbers and their eyes wero riveted on the heir to the throne; When the ver­ dict was announced cries of "Vive TAmarec," "Vive l'Orleans," "Vive la Republlque" broke forth, and tho gen­ darmes were compelled to clear the room The young Duko received his sentence calmly, buoyed up with tho well-founded liopo of a partial pardon by the President of tho ropublkv He was allowed ten days to make an appeal to a higher court. (i Before- judgment was announced the Duko addressed the court in his own be­ half. He said: "I came to France to serve as a common soldier. I have nothing to do with politics, which only concerns my father, whose obedient son and faithful servant 1 aril. I knew by entering France I rendered myself liable to the law, but that knowledge did not sto? me. I love my country,, and wish to serve her." The Duke will be allowed to remain In the concergerie prison for a few weeks before being removed to Jail.
