Conference Held.
Nww York. April 7.—A conference
of the anthracite coal operators was
held here this afternoon to consider
the reply to he made on Monday’ to
the sut>-con»mlt,tee of the Shamokin
scale commit.ee of the miners. The
session was a brief one ami at Its
conclusion It waa announced t]iat
the operator* would meel again, on
Monday prior to the joint session with
the representatives of the mine work-
ers.
That the operators will have some
sort of counter pi*1- for the arbitra-
tion proposed bv President Mitchell
is quitii; generally believed here to-
night, hut no Intimation of Us char-
acter can- lie had. Today's confer-
ence was attended by all the persona!
operators an-1 miners of the anthra-
cite region.
President Mitchell remained at
headquarters at the Ashland House
throughout the day. Only three or
tour of his assistants are in the city,
most of the district leaders having
gone to their homes over Sunday.
PANIC HAS BEEN CREATED
he now feels strong enough to chal-
lenge General Trepoff and Minister
of the Interior Durnovo and the entire
reactionary cabal
I .ess than a fortnight ago t he pre-
mier was decidedly pessimistic and
believed that the majority In; the low-
er house of parliament would he con-
servative and that the entire program
for reform might be overthrown. The
result of the elections, however, con-
vinced him that the radicals will con-
trol the house and 'that an attempt
to thwart the popular will as express-
ed by the ballot box would be a fatal
blander on the part of the govern-
ment. It was learned from an unim-
peachable source this evening that .the
premier Journeyed to Tsarekoe-Selo
crt Thursday to lay this view before
the emperor awd made another trip
there last night and was closeted with
his majesty until after midnight.

FRACTIONAL FIGHT YET ON
Pittsburg, April 7.—Harmony again
prevails its the bituminous coal fields
of Western Pennsylvania.
Tho action of the Independent coal
operators In following the lead of the
Pittsburg Coal company has effectual-
ly blocked the suspension of mines ln
this district and by Monday 28,000
men, or more than 95 per cent of the
miners of district No. 5 will have re-
sumed work.
Out of 81 mines Controlled by the
Pittsburg Coal company only one was
idle today.
Following the resolution adopted
last night dissolving the mutual com-
pact last night, not to sign the 1905
scale, independent operators repre-
senting a tonnage of more than 5.000,-
000 tons and employing over 5,000
men today affixed their signatures to
the agreement. These operators will
start their plants Monday.
The situation in the Irwin and
Johnstown fields is rapidly assuming
a harmonious aspect. The trouble
In both these districts is practically
caused by the efforts of the miners’
union to gain recognition.
The operators, while not signing the
1905 scale, have agreed to its.provi-
sions. , Both fields have been operated
at; non-union in the past, but. recently
union organizers Invaded the territory,
slanting an agitation for ino recogni-
tion of union principles.
The factional light In the Pittsburg
district miners' union Is still unde-
cided.
Mitch<dl Indorsed.
Philadelphia, April 7.—The end of
the first week of Idleness In the an-
thracite coal region, following Presi-
dent Mitchell's order suspending min-
ing operations pending the result of
negotiations between the miners and
operators in New York, finds the
mine workers staunch in the support
of Mitchell, with no signs of waver-
ing. It cannot be said that the op-
timistic views held by the mine work-
ers during the early part of the sus-
pension are so generally entertained
but there appears to be no lack of
confidence In President Mitchell's
Judgment. This was evidenced at
meetings of the miners’ locals which
were held throughout the region dur-
ing the latter part of the week. In
every instance it Is reported that res-
olutions were adopted, expressing con-
fidence in 'Mir. Mitchell and pledging
full support of any action he might
deem necessary.
It is reported that If President
Mitchell's arbitration plan Is accepted
by the operators the miners' leaders
will endeavor to have the anthracite
freight earnings of coal carrying
roads made a part of the miners’ case
before the board of conciliation or the
umpire who may finally pass upon the
matters in dispute.
The claim, it. Is said, will be made
that the freight charges aro a con-
siderable factor ln establishing the
price of hard coal and that without a
‘knowledge of freight earnings the
miners cannot expect to combat the
siatcment of the coal companies.
But Court Advise* Young Man

E. M. Payne, the "detective’' who
was arrested by Officer Bob Mulhern
as a vag at the U. H. & S. A. depot
Friday night was given his liberty by
Judge EJylar In the police court yes-
terday after promising the judge that

is, he sent a detective bureau ln Cin-
cinnati $3 for a badge and creden-
tials. When arrested he said:
"Oiucer, you've got the wrong man.
I'm a detective.’’ And he flashed his
star.
But it didn't Impress the undaunted
Mulhern, and he went to jail.
I’ayne admitted that he had never
made any arrests, but said lie was stu-
dying itho science of the game. The
judge advised him to quit. it.

Vieuna, April 7.—After Innumerable
conferences today a new- Hungarian
cabinet was finally constituted. The
appointment of Dr. Alexander Wekerle
as premier for a time seemed doubt-
ful, owing to the opposition of the
Catholic parts’, which had not forgot-
ten his part in the Introduction Into

to yield to the demands of the cler-
icals.

ments have not been made, but It Is
understood this will be the composi-
tion for the cabinet:

that Russia will ever be able to throw
off the yoke except by force. Reason-
ing with the party in power only
brings us to prison. The military
party works among the army . and
navy, and we eouni that at least 40
per cent, of the officers are in favor
of our plans.
"The most severe blow the military
party suffered was the execution of
Lieutenant Schmidt The failure of
his enterprise was entirely due to ac-
cident. When he had made full prep-
arations for the revolt of the Black
Sea fleet he 'wrote letters to Cron-
stadt and Libau warning the leaders
of the movement among the sailors
there to be ready. But Jus! then the
postal strike broke out. Tho leaders
in those two citl«s did not receive
his instructions until many days later,
ami the sailors in the Black Sea, who
did not hear from us, lost heart, and
the whole movemCn: ended sadly ln
the execution of Schmidt, who was un-
doubtedly the best lender wo had.”
LAWYERS IN A FISTICUFF
P. H. Clark and M. W. Stanton Come
to Blows on San Antonio Street
Yesterday Afternoon.
A quest ion of veracity between P.
H. Clarke and M. Mf Stanton, two well
known attorneys, resulted In a fisti-
cuff on Sail Antonie street in front of
Pew’s Shoe More yesterday afternoon.
According to an eyewitness, Clarke
met Stanton on the street and accused
him of brew king faith with him in re-
gard to some legal matter. Stanton
denied that he had broken faith,
whereupon Clarke called him a liar.
"You can't talk to me that way."
Stanton said, and i'larke replied with
a stinging blow which lauded on
Stanton's face and knocked him
against a post at the edge of the side-
walk. Clarke followed this up with
another blow or two to the body and
Stanton, without a return, turned and
walked down the street.
Shortly after the light a warrant
was sworn mu in Justice Marshall's
court by Constable Mantuan Clements
against Clarke charging hint with as
sault.
Before the warrant was served, how-
ever. Clarke went to the police station
where three charges, one for assault,
one for disturbing the peace and one
for an affray were registered against,
him. Judge Eylar held a special ses-
sion of the recorder's court and fined
Clarke $5 on the assault charge and
$1 each on the other two charges.

Tomorrow twenty-three provincial
conventions will meet and elect ono
hundred and elghty-sevn members of

The peasant representatives have a
clear majority. Should the Radicals
make anything like the sweep which
they anticipate the emperor probably
will be compelled to yield to the pre-
mier's advice. At any rate he seems
to have aligned himself on the side
of the people.
In effect he told the emperor that
he regarded the situation as desper-
ate and that, the time had come to
choose between hinmplf and Interior
Minister Durnovo and counselled his
majesty not only id accept the re-
sult. of the elections, but to antici-
pate any demand on the part Of the

stitution before parliament convenes

a splendid impression.

Naples, April 7.—Mount Vesuvius
