Chicago. March J I. ?The moat ?x tensive coal strike in the history of Illinois will he on whan 75,000 mis ers finish today's work, the last un der the old contracts. Reaumptlon of work will not come for at least thirty days, according to A. J. More head, president of the lUlnols .Goal Operators' Association, who asserts peace negotiations could not be brought to a successful end before that time. Eves before the strike Is fairly under w+j, arrangements have been made for the calling of a large conference In Chlcagq . Monday be tween, the scale committees of the op erators and miners. It Is expected 400 delegates will be In session but operators today araert that 60 days might be required to bring about a solution of the most baffling problem that ever confronted -them and the employes. Meantime iOO mines will be closed down snd 825 operating companies affected. While the^eleventh hour develop ments made "certain that the Illinois strike was inevitable, word received from other mining sections summar ized the situation as follows: Forty .thousand mln6rt in tho Pittsburg dlstrlrt will strike at mid night pending settlement gf. wage de mands. - Ohio miners are ordered to strike tomorrow while a conference, to cover the dispute Is held. Twelve thousand miners in Kansas are ordered to strike tomorrow. Central Pennsylvania miners and operators conferred today In an ef fort to effect immediate settlement. Michigan miners. 3,400 in number,] Join the strike tonight. President Thomas L. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers, will leave In-' dlanapolls tonight to take charge of the Illinois strike. West Virginia ^operators prevent strike by granting wage increase. cents a ton increase instead of 5 cents. A general strike in the affected/ coal districts would mean that 300, 000 men would quit work in 2,000 mines. The dally loss In coal pro duction would be more than 1,600, 000 tons, while the dally loss In wages to miners would be $1,056,250. Fig uring four persons to a family, more than 1,000.000 persons would be di rectly affected by the strike. Chicago coal dealers reported to day that a shortage would be felt in Chicago by large fuel consumers within a short time because of the railroads storing a sixty day supply. It was said that railroads had agents In the Illinois fleid for more than a month buying up coal wherever pos sible. FINE SERMON. Re*.

Boston, March Il.-r-Flfty per cent of the spindles in Southern cotton mills are Idle, according to statistics which hare been assembled by The American Wool and Cotton Reporter. The figures show that the curtail ment now In progress, not onl/ In the South, but In all sectlona of the coun try, both North and South, Is more extensive and drastic than has ever been known In the history of the trade, even taking into consideration the panic year of 1907. The greatest curtailment cosies among the yarn mills, although re striction of production among wear ing mills Is greater than ever before. Mill after mill is closing down entire ly sntil new cotton Wrives or mar ket. conditions Improve, while with the majority of others the amount of curtailment varies from 20 to 100 per cent with many mills running on or ders only. The following are the per centages of spindles Idle by 8tates: Alabama, 36 per cent; South Caro Jina, 81; North Carolina, 49; Geor gia, SO; Tennessee, 80; Virginia, 60; Mississippi, 63. 1DAL1A URAHK1I SCHOOL CLOAKS. The Idalia graded school closed on , March 25 with an interesting pro gram of exercises, consisting of songs, ] recitations and plays, all being well , rendered by the Btudents. The term of the school being made short be- , cause of using money for the con- ( struction of the graded school build ing, it was thought best to spend the { entire, time on the regular school work, rather than any part of it for , commencement. ' In consequence of this, the efficient teachers, MlsBes Es ther Trippe and Carlie Hooker, con- , tlnued their school work, and. using only a very few of the school hours and working, after school Instead, succeeded in giving some exercises in th$ afternoon, whfch were greatly en joyed After the exereftes six of the girl* were asked to pass around several dishes of good, home-made candy, , given as a surprise by the teachers. The dishes were all large, the candy was all good, and the audleuce, as well as'fne children, were made glad, and for proof of the whetted appe tites on this occasion, one has only to remember the sticky little hands and faces of the tiny tots. All feel that a good year's work has been accomplished by these two teachers. The expressions of their faces and the tired look In their eyes in Uie afternoons are enough to re veal to.me something of the strenuous work of the day, and the good seeds that have been planted which will bear fruit In years to come. We are Rlad to know that Miss I Hooker, after a week's rest. will be gin a pay school at Idalla, and con tinue her good work. SUNDAY SCHOOL CHOIR.

The plans for his welcome were rounded Into shape today in or der that there might be ae hitch when the steamer Prlns Helnrlch ar rives here from Alexandria. According to one plan broachftd today Colonel Roosevelt will have an opportunity to visit Mount Vesuvius and Inspect the crater If he wishes to do so. Although the Roosevelt party will have little time to spare before leaving for Rome, where they are expected 8unday, these planning to welcome blm would like to include a trip to Mt. Vesuvius, which, coin cident with the eruption of Mt. Etna In the last few days has be4n emit ting ateam and smoke In large vol ume. Solfatara'. the volcanic peak on . the shore of the Bay of Naples, lying about as far west of the city, as Ve suvius lies oast, today gave many signs of activity, the moat alarming being the opening of a new mouth, sixteen feet in diameter. Solfatara. one of the most noted sights In the famous Phlegnaen Fields, had its last recorded eruption In 1198- The pres ent indications, therefore, are that Mr. Roosevelt will have exceptional scientific opportunities. Naples is already crowded with tourists, and every train today swell ed the crowds of foreigners. Many Inhabitants of the surrounding coun try are expected to come' to the city to participate in the reception to the former president, and judging from the Influx, f\illy 50.000 strangers will be In Naplea to ho\or him.
