LONDON, Nov. 13.-In the house Of
commons this evening Mr.. Gladstone
announced that he had written to the
Coal Mine Owners Federation and to
the Miners Federation inviting them
to meet in joint conference. over which
Lord Rosebery had consented to pre-
side, and endeavor to bring about
settlement Of the great strike.
Lord Roseberry said the prime min
lister would not attempt to arbitrate the
trouble, or to act as umpire, but would
merely lend his good offices to assist
the delegates of the two parties. Mr..
Gladstone said he thought that the po-
sition OF affairs justified the govern.
ment in taking this step.
MIR. GladstOne's letter to the coal
mine federation and the miners federa-
tion refers TO the misery and suffering
which the miners strike has involved
upon thousands OF families which have
no connection with mining, and says
that the prolongation of the dispute
during the winter would aggra-
vate the distress among the poor
throughout tho country, would paralyze
the coal industry permanently and
would iniure trade in every part of the
country. The government, he says, has
refrained hitherto from interfering in
the dispute, because it was OF the opin-
ion that settlement could more use.
fully be arranged bv those concerned,
but now in view of the serious condition
OF affairs arising from the strike it 10
considered advisable to act.

PARKERsBURe, W. Va, Nov. 13.-Wm.
Koveleski, formerly a resident here,
came from St. Louis yesterday and
created scene. Several years ago he
and his wife separated, and their
daughter, now six years old, stayed
with the mother. 1t was reported to
him that size was cruel TO the child, so
he wrote for it. Instead of sending,
she hid the child out in the country.
He got the police to locate the child,
and yesterday Koveleski arrived from
tho west, drove to Davisville, and found
his little daughter. He intended to
start for st. Louis at 2:S0 this morning.
The wife got wind OF his presence and
intentions and followed him. A lively
scene was enacted at the Baltimore &
Ohio depot, and IN officer finally took
the child. Later KovelesSi stealthily
stole the child from the police station
and got away for the west. He claimed
tho wife is brutal and unfaithful.

RoMBARpM ENT On RIO.

The Firing contlnues-A waste OF Ammu-
milton, but Much Loss Of Life.
LONDON. Nov 14-The Times has re-
ceived the following advices from Rio
Janeiro:
There was heavy firing on Sunday
and Monday of last week by the gov
ernment forts on Fort VillegaGnon. Tho
outside walls of the latter fort show
much damage, but the interior Of the
town is intact. Two men were killed
and seven wounded in the fort Monday.

ry fire on Fort Viilegaghon. The insur-
gent warship, Aquidaban, replied with
machine guns. killing or woundinS
twenty soldiers and four spectators.
The firing continued night and day.
and there is an immense waste OF am
munition. On Wednesday two guns at
CASTILLO we're fred at Fort Vallegagnon,

President Cleveland. Nothing was
given out from the state department
during the afternoon as 10 the SUBJ
stance OF the dispatch.
+. P. Hastings. secretary OF the
Hawaiian legation, was shown the AS
ISOLATION Press dispatch from San
francisco, containing the news OF Min.
lister Willis arrival in Honolulu and
his appointment to present his creden-
tials to President Dole.
This news was obviously great re-
Lief to the mind OF members OF the lega-
ton. They declined to talk about the
matter as usual, but the satisfaction eX-
pressed at the presentation by Minister
Willis OF his credentials to President
Dole suggested that they might have
feared that the minister would be found
TO havo been accredited to the queen.
The plan OF the Hawaiian representa-
tives evidently is to stand rigidly on
the rights they have acquired by the
recognition OF thoir government. Min
lister Thurston touched the marrow OF
their hopes when he said yesterday i'll
Chicago that any attempt to oyerturn
tho present government by q foreign
| power would be an act oil war.
An act OF war requires the consent or
declaration OF Congress. Congress will
undoubtedly take up the subject Of
Hawaii in some way Immediately upon
assembling in December. The fight, it
is said, will be made on the administrN-
ton policy on this line-that it has de-
clared war without the consent Of Con-
rress, and has therein done an unlawful
act.
What effect it would have on this
proposed policy il the present govern
neut should peacefully yield TO the
persuasions OF the American minister is
also discussed. The question involved
is whether so peaceful proceeding
could be regarded as an act OF war. 1t
is argued that it would be an act Of aG-
gression on sovereign power none the
less, because tho power peacefully
yielded to the threat OF an oVerwhelm-
ingly superior force.
1t still remains an unanswerable
problem to those Of diplomatic exper-
ienCe how the American minister ac-
credited to the Hawaiian government
can, Immediately upon presenting his
credentials, set about TO destroy that
government. This gives rise to many
surmises such as that the real policy to
be pursued by the state department has
not hitherto been announced at all, but
that Secretary Gresham's report to the
President was simply designed to give
opportunity to read the public senti-
ment on the subject. 1t is not at all
probable that this is true, but it shows
that the policy OF the Gresham report
is considered so entirely extraordinary
that incredulity aud speculations clus-
ter around it
There is shrewd surmise in Wash.
inglon that the restoration of tho queen
to the throne may not be followed by
the entire withdrawal of the influence
OF the United States, but that with the
work of the last administration once
undone, q protectoEate my be establish
ed over the monarchy.
One clear and certain result OF the
present incident would seem to be that
annexation will never be preferred to
the United States by the Hawaiians
again. Ii there is ever TO be annexa-
tion the movement will originate in
this country.

PHltADELPmA, Pa, Nov. 13.-Nearly
all Of the ninety delegates to the Gener-
al assembly of the Knights OF Labor
which meets tomorrow at Industrial
Hall, this city, have arrived and all oi
the preliminary work with the excep'
ton OF the committee on credentials
have been concluded. It's declared by
secretary-Treasurer Hayes that nearly
three score OF proposed amendments
have been acted upon by the committee
on law.
The chief topic of conversation
among the delegates is over the conflict
between Powderly and Hayes. ltis the
opinion expressed by the delegates that
the whole matter will como before the
convention, and that il is likely to cause
lively and bitter discussion.
Hayes is q candidate for reelection,
and he says that he is entitled to it as a
vindication.
To an Associated Press reporter Mr..
Powderly this morning said:
"The general condition OF the order
is very good. We have larger num-
Der in our membership than we had u
year ago by several thousand members,
and the sentiment is great deal
healthier than it has ever been in the
history OF the organization.
"There is evidently great desire to
close all breeches and differences, not
only between members OF the organiza-
tion, but between members OF other in
dustriai organizations.
"There Is one party in Philadelphia
who is always preaching new blood in
the Knights Of Labor, and he fancies
that his anatomy contains the alleged
new blood. Whenever he is sober
enough to talk, he gets off such rawlings
as this." referring TO an account about
the order through a friend of his in the
newspaper business
When questioned about the relations
between himself and General Secretary
and Treasurer Hayes, Mr.. Powderly
said that he knew OF nothing new in
the matter, and thought the whole
question was settled in September last.

onlcInls Refuse to Express Themselves,
a Curious State Of Affairs.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Nov. 1S.-officials
in the navy department say they have
no news from Honolulu by the steamer
that has arrived at San Francisco. Sec
rotary Gresham asserts that he has
nothing to say on the Hawaiian ques-
ton. and declines to either affirm or
deny reports that are offered him Tor
corroborNtion or denial. Officials in
both departments, in fact, manifest n
lively interest in all that can be told
them by newspaper men Of news re-
celved. Soon after the reports OF news
having been received from Honolulu
reached the department Secretary
Gresham hurried over the navy depart
ment and had very brief interview
with Secretary Herbert, which may
have been only an inquiry as to whether
his department had any news TO conf
municate. Some expressions by the
Hawaiian minister, Mr., Thuraton, pub.
lished this morning, are said to given
oliense to the administration, and n
rumor was about that the Hawaiian
representatives here will have their
exeqrateurs demanded. Whether the
representatives give active otfsnse or
not, their position is an anomalous one,
representing, as they do, government
which the United States is willing
to sec deposcd. A severance OF
relations between the government and
the legation would not be surprising.

WILL; DECIDE TODAY.

Tho Iron and Steol Alen VIII Meet to
Determine their Future Course Regard
ing the Wage Scale.
PrrTsBURdH, Pa, Nov. 1S.-To-morrow
afternoon the Association OF Iron and
Steel Sheet Manufacturers will meet
and finally act upon the disputed points
in the wage scale. Recently the manu-
facturers asked the sheet mill workers
to grant ten per cent reduction on the
scale agreed to between the employers
and employees July 81 last. The
proposition was submitted to the
sub.lodges and it was voted
down. The Apollo Iron and Steel
Company then broke away from the
scale agreement and started up nom
union under lower rates than provided
for in the scale. This action placed the
other sheet firms at a disadvantage in
the matter of competition, aud through
the manufacturers association the de-
mand for revision of the scale was
further pressed, but the workmen re-.
fused to make any concession, the man
ufacturers have signed the scale for a
year.
At to.morrow's session the manufac-
turers will make known their inten-
tions. 1t is believed that a general sus-
pension OF work will occur, or an effort
will be made to start up with nom
nnionists.
