PITTsBURG, April ia shut down of
all coal mines on the Monongahela river
is considered imminent. The acceptance
of the reduction by the third pool
miners has caused general dissatistac-

few weeks is anticipated. The opera
tors of the first and second pool claim
that the third pool coal is as valuable as
that mined in the lower pools and will
decidedly order a similar cut. If they
persist In this the fourth pool operators
will reduce to two and one-half cents
per bushel. Miners who have already
accepted two reductions assert that they
will not submit 10 further scaling Of
wages. The New York and New Eng
land Coal company deny that any trou-
BILE is anticipated at the Plum and Sandy
creek mines. Large majorities Of the
miners have accepted half cent reduo-
tion and those who refused sought work
elsewhere or were discharged.
WASHINGTON, April 15.-In expectation

be wasted, and that all the pairs should
contain the name Of any advocate and
opponent of the measure. Senior Bar
rios, Central American Minister to this
city, has received telegram from the
Minister of Foreign Affairs for Guate-
mala and Salvador, saying that 1t is true
an attempt was made to assassinate
President Barrios, but adding that no
harm was done him, and he is perfectly
well. The dispatch also says there is no
disturbance Of public order, that the at
tempt to assassinate is universally exc
Grated, and General Barrios is receiving
congratulations from all classes of people.
An informal conference of the Demo-
cratic members Of the House this morn
ing was unanimously opposed to any
tariff agitation whatever.
