EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

Berlin, March 22,

The first feeling of jubilation is succeeded by disappointment in the publication of further results showing that the German majority Is not so large as was expected. The "Lokalanzeiger" says that the fact that the regions most important to German industry are party cadangered and partly lost is most depressing. "Vorwarts" issues a warning against exaggerated talk of a brilliant German victory.

RE-ADJUSTMENT OF MINERS' WAGES.

London, March 22.

Prolonged negotiations between the miners and coalowners re- sulted in the miners delegates at the conference deciding on referring to the districts the offer of the coalowners on re-adjustment of wages which, though more generous than expected, does not concede the demand of the miners for a national wage basis as opposed to the district agreements. The result of meetings of the miners District Councils hitherto shows that a split in the miners ranks is likely. Wales and Scotland are opposed to acceptance of the coalowners offer, whilst other districts, notably Yorkshire, are prepared to temporarily relinquish some of their demands in view of the precarious financial position in the coal industry.
