MINERS ADJOURN OVER
SW0NRNENT OF THN QUESTION
nAY NOT BIZ GENERAL.
THERE WERE SOME FREY SPEECHES
The Effort win Be Made to Bring the Con-
yen.ion to a Close To-Day, It the
Prospects Seem Ripe fora
Favorable Vote.

colsrnbus Ohio, Sept. 9.-The miners
eonyeation remained in executive ses-
sion until late this afternoon, adjourn
ing until tomorrow morning without
having taken a vote on the proposed
settlement of scale of prices. Presi-
dent Ratchford said to an Associated
Press representative tonight: You
may predict with every degree of GER
tainty that settlement will be reached
and that the action OF the National
Board in recommending settlement will
be endorsed. The delegates are beginning
to see that the best thing they can do
is to accept the proposition of the opera
tors and return to work at the price
offered.
The arguments that have been pre-
sented by the officials and members of
the Executive Board in favor of set
tlement have had great weight with the
delegates who have come to the conven-
tiOn uninstructed and even some of those
who came with instructions have gone
so far as to communicate with their
constituents asking to be relieved of in
structions that they may be free to
vote as they deem best. Should this
drift of sentiment continue until a vote
is taken, the proposition for a settlement
will undoubtedly be settled.
The question as to whether a settle
ment ON the lines proposed can be made
general appears to be the stumbling
block at this time.
The committee on resolutions is about
equally divided on the question of set
tlement and will probably present two
reports to the convention tomorrow.
There we're some frery speeches in the
executive session of the convention by
delegates from Ohio, Illinois, and West
Virginia. Secretary r. L. Lewis, of the
Ohio miners, said that no matter what
action the convention took, it would not
settle the strike.
A proposition to admit additional dele
gates from Pennsylvania caused a
stormy discussion. The Illinois dele
gates objected ON the ground that if one
State was allowed this privilege it should
be accorded to ALL The matter was OF
material Importance as to admit new
delegates might change the vote and the
opposition WAS so strong that the motion
to admit the additional Pennsylvania
delegates was voted down.
An effort will be made by the officers
to bring the convention to a close to-
morrow, provided the prospects of a IA
vOrable vote on the proposition for set
tlement are ripe.

COLD DAY FOR posTMAsTERs.
A New Ruling to Get More Pie for the
Henehmen.

Washington, Sept. 9.-(SpeciaD--
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow to-day made an important rul-
ing which affects the tenure of office Of
all postmasters throughout the country.
He overruled the decision OF Ex-Post-
master General Bissell who held that a
postmaster was entitled to serve four
years from the date of his confirmation
For example If a man were appointed to
a fourth class office and served three
years in that capacity and at the ex-
plration Of that time the said office
should become a presidential office by
reason of increased business and the
postmaster whether fourth class or pre-
ddentlal should die or resign before the
expiration of his four years service his
successor under the Bissell ruling was
entitled to four years. Mr.. Bristow to-
day decided that in cases above re
ferred to a successor would be allowed to
serve out the unexpired term The full
import Of this is that numerous changes
will be shortly made in fourth class and
presidential Offices, throughout the conn
try and Democratic postmasters who
fancied they would be secure in their
office for the next two or three years
viii soon be out of their jobs.
BRISTOW'S IIEAD-CHOppING.
Fourt-Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow returned to the city yesterday
after an absence of several weeks, and
to-day the appointment of 103 new post
masters was announced. The appoint
ments were made in various States, the
largest number in any one State being
twelve in Tennessee. Sixty-six of the
appointments were made to succeed per-
sons who were removed.
