MINERS' 8TRIKE THREATENED Notice Posted by Operators May Causa Trouble In Anthracite Region. Shamokln, Pa., March 18. Had the anthracite coal operators posted no tices guaranteeing without equivoca tion or reversions the continuance for a full year, from April 1, of the wage scale now in force, there would be lit tle or no danger of the annual conven tion of the miners deciding to strike. But the operators saw fit to Insert the proviso that the present acale would be continued from the flrat day of next month to April 1, 1903, ' "sub ject to 60 days' notice." - . This clause Is regarded by many miners as a bit of duplicity that fore shadows an attempt on the part of the big companies to assail the United Mine Workers' Union at the first favorable opportunity, and by others, who do not charge any ulterior motive, It is considered a most ungracious act, and which will make it more difficult for the leaders and miners who desire peace for at least another year in the anthracite fields, to outvoice and out vote the radical element, which In sists that shorter hours, higher wages and an unqualified recognition of the union must be secured this spring. The strike sentiment is Steadily grow ing among the delegates. ' GENERAt METHUEN REtEASED Kitchener Announces That British General Has Been Freed. London, March 14.

BRITISH CABINET IS WORRIED Old General 8aya He Is Going For His Health, But Rumor Asserts He Will Advise Kitchener-Situation la till Serious. London, March 15. The question which all England is asking today is: For what reason did Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, who recently retired as commander-in-chief of. the British army, and who was tbe hero of the siege of Sebastopol during the Cri mean war, sail for Cape Town today? Lord Wolseley declared that his visit to the scene of the Boer war Is to be made In search of rest and health. In this assertion he is seconded by tbe war office. Gossip will have it other wise, however, and connects the visit closely with the military situation In South Africa. These persons, many of them of au thority, point out that Lord Wolse ley's knowledge of South Africa, gained as a fighter and administrator, might be highly useful to Lord Kitch ener, either at the baae, Cape Town, or at Pretoria. Others declare that his mission may be in tbe nature of a peace commissioner. Of course there la not the slightest possibility that Lord Wolseley will su persede Lord Kitchener in command of the South African forces. He is too old for such duty. His departure, how ever, indicates that the confidence which the cabinet had in the war's alleged progress has been -much shaken. Whatever the true story may be. Lord Wolseley sailed today on the Walmer Castle. He was accompanied by Colonel Thornycroft, who, as com mander of a force of Irregular horse, did splendid service in the earlier days of the present campaign. Colonel Frank Rhodes and Arthur Rhodes, brothers of Cecil Rhodes, and Lady Methuen were passengers on the same steamer. That the situation is. still serious enough for even Lord Wolseley Is shown by dispatches which state that in another drive of Boers, Sunday, by the five columns of British, who are sweeping the country between Frank fort and Llndley. Orange River Col ony, the Boers, who were under Com mandant Metz, escaped by stamped ing a herd of cattle through the Brit ish lines, and breaking through the Hellbron-Wolve Hoik blockhouses. Fifty Boer stragglers and a quantity of stores were captured. MAY POSTPONE CORONATION Belief That It May Be Delayed On Ac count of South African Casualties. Sheffield,. March 15. Tbe Telograph yesterday said that suggestions and official representations have been made in influential circles -with a view to postponing tbe coronation, not only because of Lord Methuen's dlaaa ter, but also because of the long daily lists of casualties received from South Africa. The anxiety and grief that these cause hundreds of homeless ones, the paper, says, would be in painful contrast to the rejoicings and feastlngs of the coronation. Miles Wanted to Go to Philippines, Washington, March 17. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, of the army, made a specific request to the war de partment to be sent to the Philippines, and in connection therewith submitted a plan by which, in bis opinion, the war could be brought to an end with out further Iobs ot life to either side.
