New York, March 2 i.—Mine work
ers and mine owners of the ant hi a
cite fields debated their differences
for four hours yesterday in a confer
ence arranged by the conciliation
committee of the National Civic Fed- !
eration, but the meeting was without j
result save that the workers agreed j
not to strike on April 1 as decreed at i
the Slinmokin convention. There is |
to be further friendly discussion be
tween the two interests and Senator j
Hanna, as chairman of the industrial |
department of the federation, was j
empowered to call another conference .j
ut any favorable time within the next
30 days.
The workers asked for an increase !
in pay, a shortening of the working i
day to eight, hours and the adoption |
of a scale for the entire district. The i
operators declined to grant the de- |
maiuls as to time and pay and ret
fused to permit the complete union
ization of their properties.
The presidents of the coal com
panies outlined three propositions
and said that under no circumstances
would they recede. Those proposi
tions were as follows:
"First —'There should lie no dis
tinction between union and non-union
men.
"Second—That the officials of the
companies would meet committees
consisting of employes to discuss and j
adjust all grievances. The members
of the committees must be persons in
the employ of the companies, but the
matter of their employment would
not be inquired into, either as to their I
religion, politics or membership in j
labor unions.
"Third—That the companies must j
be prepared to meet the market re- j
juirements and that the output of j
the mines must be maintained at I
(heir productive capacity and in no j
way be interfered with."

THEIR TRADE IS FADING.
Lltliior Dealer* Are Plannlu,; an Aall"
Prohibition Orimade.
Louisville, Ky., March 28. —A meet
ing of representatives of Louisville
whisky interests —manufacturing and
jobbing—was held here Thursday to
revive the National Protective asso
ciation, organized in Chicago in 188t>
to wage war against the prohibition
movement and to try to show that
"prohibition laws are ineffectual."
The association will bo a national
organization. It will have its head
quarters at Louisville and will be sup
ported by a fund to which the dis
tilling and liquor jobbing interests of
the entire country are expected to
contribute.
It is understood that the organiza
tion will have unlimited financial
backing, for representatives of the
trade everywhere are taking a deep
interest in the movement and already
have authorized the promoters of the
organization to call on them for
funds. The money will be u ed in
employing speakers to conduct cam
paigns in states where, the prohibi
tionists are strong; in distributing
printed matter; in employing statis
ticians and writers on economic sub
jeets and anti-prohibition arguments
part icularly.
will be taken to hold a na
tional convention of liquor men, at
which a permanent organization will
be made.
A prominent distiller, discussing
the meeting, said: "The trade is
clamoring for the organization and
there is apparently little doubt of its
success. The entire trade of the
country will be combined on a cam
paign of education.
"The special aim of the organiza
tion will be to show tiie people, in
some states, where the prohibtion
movement is especially strong, the
fallacy of their position. At present
a prohibition movement is sweeping
over the southwest and liquor intei
ests are being hurt. In Micnigan,
Maine and Kansas prohibition is also
strong. We want to show these ,)?o
ple with speakers and literatuic, that
in passing prohibition measures they
only reduce their revenue and do not
benefit their states."

Tupelo, Miss., March 29. —A terrific
rain, wind and electrical storm
passed through Tupelo and neighbor

rapidly from the west and did con
siderable damage in the town. The |
wind was terrific and a blinding sheet ,
of rain accompanied it. For several j
minutes in the height of the storm
nothing but flying debris could be j
seen. Plate glass windows, chimneys !
and many trees were blown down. J
Seventy-five negro cabins and a negro
church, which had just been com
pleted, were blown down.
Meridian, Miss., March 20.—Eh en
inches of rain have fallen during the

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, March 29.—1 L <i. Dun's j
Weekly Review of Trade says: Favor
able weather greatly facilitated
Easter retail trade, the volume of |
transactions in all lines of wearing
apparel being of exceptional magni
tude. Activity was by no means re-j
strietcd to the specialties, however,
the general distribution of merchan
dise exceeding that of previous sea- j
sons, with prices well maintained. A |
distinct evidence of the vigor of legit- i
imate trade is found in the decline of {
only 21.4 per cent, in bank exchanges
at New York, notwithstanding the
fact that transactions at the stock ex- j
change were not more than a third |
of those in the corresponding week
last year, while at other leading cities |
clearings exhibited a gain of y.S per |
cent, over last year.
Demands for an eight-hour day I
after May 1 by the blast, furnace men
was the most disturbing feature in I
the iron and steel industry and this!
is not causing much alarm, as an !
agreement will prabably be reached i
during the intervening month. Pro
duction is now beyond all previous
records and the movement of coke is i
ample, although the early opening of
| lake navigation may withdraw some !
| of the transporting facilities which i
| cannot well be spared. Buying has !
| been notably active in bars for imple- j
| ment makers, and producers have!
sold their entire output so far ahead j
that new business is not sought.
A severe reaction occurred in cot
ton, due entirely to the excessive
speculative purchases which made the
market topheavy. Meats again ad
vanced in the face of easier grain, a
helpful influence being the largest
single order ever placed for the Brit
ish army.
Weakness appeared in the cereals
early in the week.
Failures for the week numbered
205 in the United States, against 2CB
last year, and 22 in Canade, against
29 last year.

AN AFRICAN SHRINE.
"Long Ju-Ju," Mecca of the Slaves
of Fetichism.
Gmeaoine I'lnce Where Hundreds of
Human l.lvea Are Sacrificed
Every Year—Myaterlea of
the Iletreat Revealed.
Fifty human lives are sacrificed
every year at the "Long Ju-Ju," one
of the many fetich centers that dot
the jungles of central and western
Africa, in order that evil spirits may
be banished from the land and the
wrath of the gods appeased. Tlie
"Long J u-J u" is one of the most no
torious and most powerful meccas of
the slaves of fetichism. it is here
that hundreds of the superstitious
natives pile lip their material offer
ings to the spirits aihl journey in res
olute bands to deposit the relics of
Ju-Ju rites.
Some interesting figures concern
ing the "Long Ju-Ju" have just come
out of the interior from a correspond
ent with the Aro expedition. It is
estimated that every year 500 pil
grims journey to the sacred spot to
receive the fetich decree and advice
which is vouchsafed to them by the
recognized powers. To most of them
it is a dear experience. About 50 of
them are sacrificed annually in order
that tlieir skulls may be offered to
tlie gods, while fully 200 people are
sold into slavery. The remainder are
allowed togo away free.
The "Long Ju-Ju" is one of tlie
most fascinating spots in western
Africa to tlie curiously inclined ex
plorer. On account of its sacred
holdings it is closely guarded by tlie
natives, and it is by no means easy
of access, even when tlie traveler is
accompanied by an experienced and
licensed guide. The utmost secrecy
is observed in approaching its en
trance. In addition to tlie difficulties
the conducting of a visitor to tlie
Ju-Ju is a somewhat lengthy process.
When he arrives in the immediate
vicinity of tlie uncanny spot lie is led
by a circuitous route and finally is
marched in backwards.
The approach to tlie Ju-Ju is
through dense bush, which gradual
ly becomes thicker and thicker, until
the entrance is reached. Tlie Ju-Ju
THE ISLAND ALTAR.
(Made from Many Trade Guns and
Topped with Skulls.)
is an oval-sliaped pit 70 feet deep, GO
yards long, and 50 yards wide. In
entering the visitor climbs down the
precipitous sides of rock into a nar
row gorge and into running water.
The water gushes forth from the
solid rock in two large streams, which
unite below a small island, on which
are two altars, one made from many
trade guns stuck muzzle downwards
in the ground and topped with human
skulls. The other is made of wood
and supports more skulls, bones,
feathers, blood, eggs and other vo
tive offerings to the Ju-Ju, including
the head of the last victim.
Over tlie rock from which the run
ning water springs is a roof of hu
man skulls with a curtain, the top
part of which is composed of clothes
and the lower part of native mat
ting, screening the rock and hanging
just short of tlie water's edge. The
lower portions of the rock composing
tlie other sides of this crater are
draped with mats only.
The sacrificial functions of the
Ju-Ju are performed on tlie left side
of tlie entrance, opposite the island,
where a flat-topped ledge lias been
hewn out of the rock. The. waters as
well as the walls and whole interior
of tlie charnel-house abound in fetich
lore. The pool is about 12 inches
deep and abounds in tame, lazy-look
in, gray-colored fish, about two feet
in length. These fish have long suck
ers and glaring yellow eyes. The
roof of tlie Ju-Ju is formed by a mass
of densely intertwined creepers.
At the left of the entrance, through
which the visitor is escorted, rests
the greatest evidence of the devotion
of the native worshipers to their be
lief in fetichism. There lie the skulls
of scores who have been sacrificed in
order tliat the Ju-Ju rites might be
fully administered and the spirit
world communicated with through
material offerings.
The natives in these fetich centers
of West Africa believe that by vent
ing their wrath upon human beings,
animals and even inanimate objects
tliey are enabled to worship the gods.
If they are prosperous and escapa
what they regard as misfortune, the
objects of their devotion are petted,
but if the reverse is true they min
ister tlie most excruciating punish
ment and cast some portion of the
object in the Ju-Ju.
