Conferences Are Being: ’ Held lWhich
May Bring It to an End.
FORT HILL MEN DRIVEN OUT
Hillsboro \Vorkmon Decide to Support the
General Movement—Trouble on tho
Mesaba Range—Sheriff on the
Scene \Vltl'i Militia.
PITTSBURG, May 4.—-Therc is a possibil—
ity that the great miners’ strike may be
settled. A conference is being held atthe
office of Mr Bhncis Robbins, a large
operator, at which two authorized dele-
gates from the Hocking Valley district,
one from the Brazil (Ind.) field, one from
Illinois and a representative of the Pitts-
burg mines are in attendance. They are
discussing the advisability of holding a
conference with the miners’ officials with
a view of settling the strike. In anticipa-
tion of the conference National President
John McBride of the United Mine Work-
ers’ Union of America, National Secre-
tary McBryde, District President Nugent
of Ohio and National Organizer O’Malley
are in the city. President McBride was
very mysterious when approached and said
he was here on a visit. It was learned
nevertheless that the expected conference
has been hatching for several days. J. L.
Morton, one of the largest coal producers
in Ohio, accompanied Mr. McBride to
Pittsburg. He stated that the western
operators were willing to pay the advance
if the Pittsburg operators could be induced
to do so.
A number of Pittsburg operators who
have refused to abide by any agreement in
the past are present at the conference, but
W. P. DeArmitt of the New York and
~ Cleveland Gas and Coal company said that
his works were in the possession of the
strikers, and until they were surrendered
he would not talk of settlement. Unless
he can be induced to join the conference a
settlement is hardly possible. '
Trouble on the Mambo Range.
DULUTH, May 4.-—Fifteen' hundred miners
are out on the Mesaba range. A magazine
was broken open and 14 kegs of powder
seized. Sheriff Sharvy and Adjutant Gen—
eral Kuehlburg left for Virginia on the
Mesaba range today. Company A of the
state militia followed by special train.
The 1,500 miners out are mostly Finland-
ers and are striking for $1.50 per day.
They are now receiving 81.00 and 81.25.
The strike began at the Franklin mine,
300 men going out. They drove the men
out at the Oliver, Norman, Iron King and
Mountain Iron- mines- Telegrams Were
received from Virginia asking for aid at
once. Seven hundred miners were con-
gregated in the village threatening to loot
the stores. . _
At one of the mines a magazine was
broken open and 40 kegs of powder and
some dynamite stolen. All are penniles‘s'
and depend for sustenance on charity and
what they can seize- Three hundred min-
ers at the Mountain Iron mine met last
night and voted to go to work today, but
wanted protection against the mob. There.
were" 00 men in the militia company that
went up with Sheriff Sharvy and Adju-r
taut General Muehlburg of St. Paul.
May End the Strike.
CHICAGO, May '4.—Colonel W'. P. Rend,
who: has returned from the coalfields of
Pennsylvania. is hopeful that a Settlement
of the miners’ strike will be reached eta
conference to be held by representatives of
both parties at Cleveland, 01; some other
eastern point, early next week. “Beforél

. Rumors of Conferences.
COLUMBUS, 0., May 4.—President Mc-
Bride of the Miners’ association and" J. S.
Morton, a big coal operator here, left here
during the night in the same stateroom of
a sleeper for Pittsbui‘g. Secretary Patrick
McBryde is there now. This is understood
here in unofficial circles to mean a confer-
ence between operators and officers of the
Miners’ association. There is a rumor also
of a conference tomorrow at Cleveland, to
which‘the Pittsburg meeting is prelimi—
nary. A Hocking valley operator says he
does not know of any Conference, but.that
if one is to be held the Hocking valley op-
erators now in Pittsburg can speak by au-
thority, as such operators held a confer-
ence here and were agreed as to plans.
Fort Hill Miners Driven Out.
CONNELstiLLE, Pa... May 4.—-The coke
strikers made an assault on the Fort Hill
plant today and forced the workmen to
flee for their lives. In the melee a num-
ber of the men were badly beaten. The
plant is now closed down. The capture
of the Morewood dynamiters last night
and the attack on Fort Hill caused the
greatest excitement, and the feeling of un‘
rest is more pronounced than at any time
since the last strike began. Mobs are
marching through the country, and raids
are feared at several points. The women
made an attack on the Davidson works,
but left disgusted when they found but
one man at work.
Strike Expected In Pittsburg, Kan.
PITTSBURG, Kan, May sir—The situation
of mine troubles has assumed amore se-
rious aspect. 'The miners at \Veir Coal
company shaft No. 2, with the exception
of about 30, refused to go to work today,
and it was given out that they would not
go back until their demand for. 60 cents
the year round is complied with. The
Western Coal company miners at Fleming
also made-the same demand, but about
half of the men went back to work. It is
the general impression that a strike will
be inaugurated within a week or 10 days.
*‘ N. P. Miners Strike.
TACOMA, May 4.—The miners in the
Northern Pacific railway mines at Roslyn

Chinese Treaty Goes Over by Request—Rou-
tine Proceedings of the House of ,
Representatives—Gossip From .
the Nation‘s Capital.
WASHINGTON, May 3,—The Republicans
varied their programme when the senate
met today. Although it was evident a
quorum was not present, no Republican
made the point, and the senate proceeded
immediately with its preliminary routine "
business. The house bill authorizing the
wearing of a distinctive army and navy
badge on public occasions was passed on
motion of Mr. Mitchell (W'is.). Mr. Hun-
ton (Va) asked unanimous consent for the
consideration of a bill to remit the penal-
ties on the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius.
Mr. Chandler (N. H.) objected.
On motion of Mr. Sherman (0.) the
house bill to authorize the commissioner
of the general land office to issue a pair
out for Mace Clement’s survey 386 in the
Virginia military district in Ohio was
passed. At this point Mr. Morgan refused
to allow morning business to proceed fur-
ther. He moved, in conformity with the
Special order made ten days ago, that the
senate go into executive session to consider
the Chinese treaty. '
The motion was agreed to, and. after the
doors were closed the motion of Senator
Mitchell (Rep., Or.) to consider the treaty
in open Session was considered first.
The executive. session lasted less than
half an, hour. .The doors were reopened
at 12 o’clock, and on motion of Mr. Harris
the tarifihill was taken up immediately.
Mr. Allisoffsuggcsted that the amend‘
ment under. consideration to change the
date when the bill should go into effect
from June 1 to. June 30 .in the first line of
the bill, which has been ostensibly the
pending subject of discussion for 10 days,
should be passed ovei‘.‘ The datelon which
the bill should take effect, he said, could
be fixed best later. ’
Mr. Harris agreed to pass over the
amendment in order’to make progress.
Mr. Quay, who was entitled to the floor,
then yielded to Mr. Chandler (N. H. ).
Senator Chandler’s Speech.
Mr. Chandler . began his remarks with
some humorous allusions to Mr. Quay’s ill
health, which compelled him to repeated-
ly yield the floor to other senators on his
side. He went on to give his idea of what
the tarill bill would have been had the
Democrats been true to the principles laid
down in the Chicago platform. The plat-
form ‘ lax-ed for atariff for revenue only.
Act-o.- Ling to treasury estimates, $00,.
toms duties. Imports to the value of
about $800,000,000 came through the cus-
tom hoztse annually. It the Democrats
had desmed to make a genuine honest rev-
enue tariff to meet the demands of the
government, they had but to~lay a uni:
form duty of 25 per cent upon the $800,-
000,000 worth of merchandise imported.
.. A free list of any description was not
consistent with the doctrine of a revenue
tariff. In the present situation no one
could tell what sort of a bill was to be
passed. Over 300 amendments were in
preparation. They would be acted upon,
as would hundreds of others.
There was no means of determining now
to what sort of bill the business of the
country must be adjusted. After it was
passed, if it ever was passed, a grand prize
should be offered to the person who should
first discover the underlying princi 1e upor
which the bill Was framed, if t ere was
any, which be doubted. .
Mr. Chandler prOceeded to discuss the
spirit in which the bill should be framed.
He called attention to the words of Mr.
CleVeland, the greatest statesman of his
party, inveighing against selfishness and
personal ambition in preparation of the
bill. Despite this warning to sink local
interests in the common weal, the country
had witnessed extraordinary performances
at both ends of the capitol while the bill
was in committee.
The agents of the protected industries
swarmed the lobbies, led, introduced and
backed by Democrats who were committed
in their platform to the doctrine that all
protection was a robbery and unconstitu
tional. Even Mr. Cleveland’s own up-
pOintees were here :fiunding for protection.
Poucher Touched Up. .
District Attorney Poucher of. New York,
nominated by the president, confirmed by
the two New York senators, had been be-
fore the ways and means committee ap-
pealing for prohibitive duties on barley
and barley malt. Had Chairman Wilson
been made of the proper stuff Poucher
would have been scourged from his com-
mittee room. Instead the house had fixed
the duty on barley at 35 per cent.
He did not know when Mr. Poucher had
been before the senate' committee, but he’
did know that when the bill emerged
from. the committee the duty had been
raised to 40 per cent. The high duty is to
be levied in order that the brewers of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois
may have that protection which the Dem-
ocratic platform declared was unconstitu-
tional. All this when the humble re-
quests of the wageworkers for hearings
were denied. ' ‘ _
He then took up the duty on lime, show-
ing how, upon the faith of the'Democratic
platform, Mr. Jones of New Hampshire
had invested largely in limekilns in Can-
ada. But the sinister motives that the
noble soul of Mr. CIOVeland would scorn
prevailed. The Wilson bill placed a. duty
of 10 per cent on lime, the Senate bill 15
per cent. It “sort of paralyzed” him,‘ he
said, to try to reconcile the Democratic
party with its principles, its professions
with its. performances. .
