Behind the miners the federation of labor stands pleded to their support. The order to suspend work to enforce this demand has already gove forth from the officers of the winers' national union.

The iinesare already tightly drawn, aud a conflict, determined’ in its character and of the gravest consequence, not only to the mining interests but to the general inter- ests of a large portion of the country, is now about to take place. 1f this strike assumes the magnitude now threatened, and should continue for a period of even thirty days, 1t will do injury more wide- spread and more serious than any strike that has ever occurred in the United States. The hope of avertiug this disaster alone lies in the hriefness of the struggle. It is a question whether such a vast army of idle men can be sustained ana held together for even a brief period of two or three weeks by the support of outside wd promised by the federated unions.’ ANOTHER RAILBOAD COMFLICATION.

This is the Russian view. All other propositions are regarded as untrust- worthy, besides it must not be forgotten that the great Siberian railway which is to reach Vladivostek, will within a generation lead to a union of Alaska and Siberia by rail at Behring straits. Russians are not blind to the fact that there will be important com- mercial routes across the disputed waters in the future and it is necessary to settle ail questions of jurisdiction now.
