Coal from Abroad.

NEW YORK. May l5.-There have been
$4,000 tons OF English and Nova Scotia
coal sold. 10 arrive In New York. a por-
ton of which has already been shipped
from Cardiff. Liverpool and Glasgow, and
from Sidney. n. $ The cost is within
45 to 80 cents PEP ton OF the ordinary
price of soft steamer coal delivered az

Differences Between the Great Northern
Railway Company and Its En-

CLEVELAND, May B.-The conference
between miners and operators began this
afternoon. During the morning there was
much bitter talk engaged in on both sides.
The scale committee of the miners union
met again and eEdeavored TO adjust DIFF
ferences i'm rates for mining in a manner

section as compared with another. The de-
mand is for the wages paid before the re-
auctions were made last fall and winter.
In a general way the scale provides for
the following rates. Ohio. 20 to s. cents:
Pennsylvania, 66 TO ~ cents; Indiana. &c

miners at work in that State decide TO join
the movement. OF course. Ohio. Pennsyl-

tant States. Reductions have been a
in all except Illinois. but If the miners In
that State had desired to work after May
1 they would have been compelled TO &C
cept a 20 per cent. reduction.
When the conference finally assembled
late in the afternoon ii took but a short
time to precipitate the fight that was
brewing. An organization was effected
by the election OF j. b. Zerbe. an OPP
orator of this city. as president,
and Patrick Mcbride, OF the miners union.
as secretary, with Frank Brooks. an OPP
orator of Columbus. as his assistant. A
committee on credentials was appointed,
and TO them were referred the credentials
of all the miners and operators who sought
seats in the conference. The report Of the
committee aroused a stormy discussion az
once. 1t favored the seating of all the min
ers and the operators of Ohio, Indiana and
West Virginia and all those from Pennsyl-
yania who had expressed a willingness 10
abide by the decision Of the conference.
The report. however. was against the seat
ing of the ten Pittsburg operators who had
declared that they would not abide by the
decision of the majority. A II. Dempster
led the fight in favor of giving the kickers
seats. He said the call for the conference
had been sent to all operators and miners
and they were entitled TO seats under the
cal. John Mcbride, president, and Vice
made the principal speeches against the
seating of the operators.
The Indiana operators were admitted on
the understanding that theS would abide by
