The Settien(ene OF the Great Coal Strlke
Goes Back to the General Conference,
Pittsburg Factories Shutting Down Fol-
Lack of Fuel.
CLEVELAND, May 17.-The national Strike
of miners is no nearer being settled today
than it was Tuesday morning, when the
conference of miners and operators was
begun. The conference committee of min
ers and operators held joint meeting in
the chamber of commerce. The miners
submitted demand, which was a restora
ton of the old rate.
The operators had offered IS cents fol
Pennsylvania and So cents for Ohio. Presi
dent John Mcbride made a strong speech,
saying that the miners would never agree
to a settlement on that basis The dele.
gates assembled in Case hall awaiting
their report.
The joint committee remained in session
for several hours, when an adjournment
till this morning was taken. 1t was an
nounced that no agreement had been
reached. The miners refused to recede
from their demand for a restoration of the
old rate, and the operators, in the absence
of instructions, could make no concessions.
The operators had another meeting last
evening to decide whether they would
make the miners another offer or give up
the attempt to settle the strike. -
The operators met and received the re
port of their representatives on the joint
scale committee, which was that no agree
ment could be reached with the miners on
the committee. The operators approved
their action in the committee and gave
them vote of confidence. Therefore the
wage question was thrown back on the
general convention, which reconvened this
morning,

The big flag pole which was to have
been erected at the South Brooklyn school
grounds on Decoration day and which was
the delight of the committee because of its
immense height will not tower as high in
air as tho committee desired it should do.
Through an accident the children happened
to break off about twenty feet of the pole
which leaves it little higher than some of
these now in use at the other schools. The
carpeter who was putting the bigspole in
shape for the occasion had it swung across
a saw horse and the busy youngsters dur
ing recess all gathered together to see if
they could tip it over and use it for see-
saw and broke off the length that pro-
jected over the saw horse.

The Bribery Charge:

The morning hour of the senate was en-
livened by the introduction of a resolution
by Mr.. Lodge to investigate the allega.
tions of attempted bribery of senators; also
the allegations in a published article OF
various alleged misdoings in connection
with the tariff. Mr.. Lodge wanted the
resolution considered at once, but Mr..
Cockrell suggested that it be printed and
lie upon the table.
Senator Lodge, when asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of his resolution for an investi-
cation of the reported attempt to bride
Senators Hunton and Kyle, said:
81 know nothing of the matter person
ally, but the statement made is specific,
and coming so soon as it does after the
publication of the alleged efforts of the
Sugar trust to influence legislation by un-
fair means have thought that commit
tee should be appointed to inquire into the
whole subject. 1t is my opinion that if.
such work is going on all the facts should
be known, and my only purpose in present
ing the resolution is to bring them out" 20
misrepresentation ]. A. Buttz of Buttz-
Vile, n. D., whose name was mentioned in
connection with the alleged attempts to
purchase the vote of Senators Kyle and
Hunton on the tariff bill, has determined
ia ask full investigation at the hands OF

him. Major Buttz called on Senator Hans
brough of North Dakota and asked advice
rs to what he had better do
He made general denial of the charges
against him and stated that he wanted a
rigid investigation of them. He was not
willing to rest on the possibility of the
passage of the Lodge resolution, calling for
an investigation of the bribery alleged and
of the influence of the Sugar trust on the
makeup of the tariff bill He told the Sen
ator that he wanted personal investiga-
ton as speedily as possible. He said that
he had both reputation and interests which
were suffering and wished to have a chance
to clear himself.
In his interview with the senator the de-
tails of the bribery charges were not gone
over, but Major Buttz's denial was en-
phatic and absolute. Senator Hansbrough
finally advised the ex-congressman to write
him letter asking for personal investi-
CATION and agreed to place it before the
senate. This Major Buttz agreed to do.

THE HAWAIIAN HOTEL.
a Card From Guest who Objects to II
"Star" Paragraph.

Card From u Guest Who Objects to u
"star" Paragraph.
EDITOR STAR: In your editorial of the
9th. marked "Unrestraned Brutality
the following language is used: ZAP
parently the fact is that the Hawaiian
hotel is a low down hole, whose fire.
quenters leave decencv and manliness
behind Them" which does a grave in
justice, not only to the frequenters of
the Hawaiian hatel, but to that model
caravansary also.
Knowing the candor and fairness of
the STAR. by such experience as con
slant reading can give, the frequenters
of the Hawaiian hotel after reading the
above, had hui and concluded to i'm
part their grievances to the original
cause of them; for we know that.
" Scarcely an i'll to human life belongs
But what our fullies cause, or mutual
wrongs
We are sensible OF the fact that you
did not intend to convey the idea which
your words express. You say "appar-
ently'-that is to say, openly, clearly,
manifcstly, "the fact is, ETC." Now in
truth and in fact the Hawaiian Hotel is
not manifestly "a low-down hole whose
frequentcrs leave manliness and deCency
behind them" and such a statement,
irrespective of the personal affront to the
ladies and gentlemen who are pleased to
frequent the Hawaiian Hotel, should not
have as its medium OF circulation Il
newspaper of the habitual veracity OF
the HAWAIIAN STAR.
If the newspapers Of Honolulu have
the best interests of their city in view
they will publish to the world that the
Hawaiian Hotel is one Of the popular in
situations Of Honolulu; and that every.
thing in and about it recommends it tc
| the most favorable consideration of all
Over its portals is not written, "All hope
abandon, We who enter here" but more
/ properly, "Welcome, good cheer, aloha
nui."
As to the Gallagher-Peterson recoun.
ter, it had as much connection with the
frequenters OF the Hawaiian Hotel as tn,
bray OF jackass has to do with the sola1
system. Most OF them heard of it only
through the STAR; none OF them coulC
have prevented, controlled or restraine,
it. JULIEN ID. HAYNE.

DR. rEoussEAt's FUNERAL.
The services NJ his Late Residence
lie II Laid at Rest.

Long before the hour appointed for
the funeral, small crowds collected in the
vicinity Of the late Dr. Trousseau's
residence. All had something good to
say OF the Doctors past lie, anecdotes
of little kindnesscs that he had
rendered, help that he had extended to
the needy and stories OF the many
generous and warm-hearted qualities OF
the man, passed from one to the other.
The coffin, placed in one OF the large
rooms opening upon the piazza, was
literally covered with flowers. BY
the time the funeral cortege
was ready to start, the grounds
and house were filed with
mourners, the scene being one to be
long remembered.
AT the house and during the funeral
services the Provisional Government
Band played suitable music, the Nation
al Band furnishing the music for the
procession and at the grave.
1t was the wish of the late Doctor to
have as simple funeral as possible and
the last wish was respected, the services
being without unnecessary display.
