A number of newspapers have brought forward the fact that thé constitution of the state requires a candidate for the United States Sen- ate to have been a resident of Florida for five years previous to his election. This is’ said by wise ones to be merely an intention on the part of the constitution-makers, and not binding on the Senate, which can seat anyone it pleases according to the working of the national Constitu- tion. The opponents of the Nebras- kan, admitting that the Senate may ignore state constitution, which would to some extent curb the pow- ers of that body, claim that Bryan should not undertake to override the expressed wish of the people—whom he is so anxious to “represent” in Congress.

Upon the operators’ reception of these demands, with a third stipulat- ing that the check-off system be established in all collieries, depends the early settlement of the strike set for April 1, is the feeling at amion headquarters here. Both sides are agreed that the fu- ture of the bituminous and anthra cite industries will depend largely upon the basis of settiement of these three demands. Tt is freely predicted that operators of bituminous mines | will make no move to settle the strike which also will close their mines April 1, until a wage scale is fixed for the anthracite industry. Nelther side looks for an easy vic- tory in the present conference. The miners, with the - knowledge that every ' anthracite colliery in the United States is unionized and will cease production on the date fixed, assert their men are “willing to go on a long vacation.” Thus, they say, they can take their time to thresh out the whole situation in the an- {hracite industry as it affects unlon abo: The operators also expressed will- ingness that the mines shall cease pro- ducing, temporarily.
