Miners Aitked an Advance of HO Cent ' Per Ton on ltuu-nf-Mliie Haul Opera tor Offered 0 Cent Advauce, Screen to ltemalu the Same. 1miakapom$ Jan. 30. The first business of tiie joint conference of miners and operators was the submis sion of the report of the joint scale com mittee. The propositions made were practically tho same as have been pub lished heretofore. The miners de manded an advance of 20 cents per ton on a ruu of mine basis. The operators offered au advance cf 9 cents per ton for mining, with tho screens remaining the same as at pres ent. A further condition iu their prop osition is that the state of Illinois, which is now ou a ruu of mine basis, must come iu cuder a double standard arrangement . and return to using screens. President Johu Mitchell, of the mine workers, moved the adoption of the miners' scale. F. II. Robbing, r Penn sylvania operator, moved to uin mil the motion by adopting the scale of the operators. The matter was theu opened for discussion. The final outcome of the matter, as predicted by those who have attended other conferences, is that the operators will uay a few cents per tou more than their first offer of U cents advauoe, the miners will coma to the screen agree ment remaiuiug as it is at present and the Illinois miners will coiuo iuto thj doable standard agreement now iu force iu tho three other states of the competi tive field. Iu order to arrive at this set tlement sultioiout pressure will bo neces sary to bring the Illinois minors iuto a compact of this kind. The miners of that state are making money and have a large sum available for a defense fund. These conditions ao not exist iu all of the other states, and tho influence needed to make Illi nois accept a return of tho screens mutt come from the delegates representing the miners in Ohio, Indiana and Penn sylvania. Tho miners, especially those from Illinois, who outnumber the delegations from other states said they despaired of effecting au ugreetuout at this conven tion. They say that an advauce ol even 25 cents a tou and the re-euaet-meut of the double staudard of meas urement would mean a reduction to them and that they would rather re main out of work an entire year thau accept the double standard. MAY EEFUSE BLACKBURN. If Taylor' Election 1 Declared Illegal, lie Will -Not (live senator Crednutlula. Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 80. It Is uol likely that United States Seuator-eleet Blackburn will receive any commission from Governor Taylor until the present gubernatorial contest has been tonally settled.

Mr. Bryan was riven the freedom of the city by Mayor Jehu J. Fitzgerald, who introduced him. The colonel kept everyone in good humor by applying Biblical say ings ro his subject.

SCOTT TO GET HIS SEAT. Senate Flection Commutes Will Decide Iu 111 Favor. Washington, Jau. 30. Tho protest agaiust Senator Soott, of West Vir ginia, occupying his seat iu the senate probably will bo decided soou by the senate committoo ou privileges aud elec tions iu fuvor of Senator Scott. The committee, decided not to take any more testimony iu the case because of it's opposition to going behind the action of the state legislature in the matter of seating it's member. The principal objection to Mr. Scott urged by the protestauts was based upou the contention that he received only 48 votes, or one less than a major ity, aud that he secured his election -by causing the suspension of two niuubers of the legislature, who were afterward given seats, thus reducing the member Bhip from 0 to 1)3. ' Much was also inado of tho circuni' stances that two of the members of the state senate by which he was elected, were otlicers in the volunteer army of he United States during the Spanish war. These senators were named Get Eoudauuer aud Piersou. They voted for Mr. Soott, aud with their votes he received 48 votes, a ma jority of one of the 1)3 members of tho joiuUrfissembly then occupying seats. The pWestants claimed that by accept ing coiamissious in the army Getzen danner aud Pierson respectively va cated their office as members of the state senate. Without their votes Mr. Scott would have 40 votes. The friends of Mr. Scott contest these points, urging cause for the suspension of the two members and aiso showing that Messrs. Getzeudauner aud Piersou had resigned their offices iu tho army, before casting their votes for Mx. Scott for senator. LADYSMITH MAY BE ABANDONED. Field Slamlinl Hobcrt Was Said to Favor Till l'lun. New York, Jau. 80. A spocial cable gram from London said: "It is learned from a reliable sonrce that Field Mar shal Lord Roberts has advised the aban donment of Ladysmith." To Ladysmith tho disappointment must be vory bitter. A dispatch from the Boer lauger near the town, dated Jau. 24, describes the garrison as "very evidently preparing a desperate coup in order to effect a junction with General Buller's advancing army." This is probably an exaggerated idea as to the length of time the provisions would last. Even should it be decided to send Geueral Buller reinforcements and attempt to reach Ladysmith by a movement through the still more diffi cult country east of Oolenso, it is ex tremely doubtful whether the garrison could hold out long enough, as such a movement ' would occupy at least a mouth.

TRADE IS SOME LIGHTER, Van' Itevlew Attributed It to the Num ber ol Advance Order Fail ure For the Week. New York, Jau R. G. Dun & Oo.'s weekly review ol trade issued to day said in part: No news is not always good news. New busiue3S for manufacturers this year has been light in some branches and much below the production last mouth. It is, perhaps, too often for gotten that industries start this year With larger contracts ahead than ever before, aud when half of the work of the whole year has been ordered in ad vauce there can not continue quite the same activity in new buying. The woolen manufacturers have just OiK'ue 1 a new season with the largest transactions ever known in a single week, it is said, but in most other lines contracts previously booked would make similar activity impossible. Yet there is seen enough of hesitation caused by advanced prices to make inactivity try ing. Distributiou to consumers through out the country is rapid aud large, espe cially in quarters where it has been feared retailers were over bujlug, so that there is strong confidence iu the future. It could not be expected that business would adjust itself without any embar rassment to such a rise of prices as has occurred. Early in December wool rose too high for prices then obtainable for woolen goods, and weeks of dullness followed. The boot mid shoe manufacturer is re ceiving small orders, as jobbers pay the prices asked only foj such limited sup plies as are needed for sorting, bnt their urgency to receive goods heretofore or dered is marked. Wheat has advanced to 75:,g cents with no clear reason for such a sharp advance. Western receipts are small, in four weeks only 10,984,928 bushels, aealust 17,2.10.257 bushels last year, but the Atlantic exports have been only 7,737,471 bushels, flour included, against 17,037, 3S3 bushels last year. Paeiflc ex ports show a little gain, amounting to 3,211,230 bushels tor the sume four weeks, against 2,17o,24H. bushels lust year, but this is of no aid to Atlau4io markets. Iron and steeF prices have been yield ing for several weeks aud are a shade lower for products thau at any other time since the middle of September, though Bessemer pig aud billets are still so scarce and firmly held that only two sales, umouutiug to 8,000 tons, are auywhero reported Agreements to hold the price of bars do ' not prevent sales at Philadelphia for 2.07 'a of irou considered by buyers best rehuod, uo. cording to The Irou Age, though sellers call it common, aud plates and sheets are both irregular there, with narrow platos sold at Pittsburg below 2.23. Structural shapes are not quoted lower, but tho New York Central con tract for 13,000 tons bridge material went to the Peuusylvauia. Peucoyd and Detroit works, aud two orders for 23,000 tous rails ure taken at Onicago. Last year 13,(120,703 tons of pig were pro duced, uccordiug to the official record, the cotiKumptiou being 13,774,727 tous. Exports of corn still show that Ameri can food is still jvuutcd abroad, having been iufour weeks 13,482,792 bushels, against 12,370,504 bushels last year. Nevertheless the cash price of coru has declined about three-quarters of a cent, although option prices are about the same us at the close last week Failures for tho week have been 231 in tho United States, aguiust 224 last year, und 38 iu Canada, agaiust 33 List year.
