BOSTON, August 2o-A special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Buenos
Ayres says;
only meagre details of the terrible
murder at sea on board tho three
raasted schooner Olive Parker have as
yet been received here The crew OF
six men are at Bahia, over 1000 miles
distant, and will be sent to the United
States for trial at tho earliest possible
date. They are William Horsburgh, en-

The tragedy occurred about 1875 miles
off the South American coast, probably
on Friday night. Complaints made by
the men were on account of the hard
work and insufficient food
John Lend and a companion, whose
name is not clearly given In tho tele-
grams received here, crept TO the cabin
while Captain Whitman and First Mate
Saunders were asleep and killed them
In their hunks. They then kindled n fire
In the after hold.
II was only when the schooner was in
flames that the remainder OF the crew
knew anything OF the tragedy, and
when the alarm was given there was
barely time to take to the boats, the
captain and first mate being missed
only as the party left the burning ves-
sci.
The murderers found no sympathy
among the other men, and the crime
was reported to the Bahia authorities
and Consul shute Immediately when the
men reached shore.

COLUMBUS, Aug. 20.-The national
executive board of the United Mine
Workers adjourned to-day, after having
issued the call for the conference of or
ganIzed labor to be held In st. Louis,
August 30. The board rejected the pro-
position of the Pittsburgh operators for
a conference to arbltrate the wage dis
pute In that district, claiming that such
action would be prejudiclal TO the inter-
est OF the miners at large. The board Is
ready to consider overtures for the arbi-
traton OF the issues OF the great strike
only when these overtures come from all
the operators in the competitive district,
which includes Ohio Indiana, Illinois.

The board has decided not 20 deyiate
from the established policy until the re-
suit OF the ST, Louis conference is known!
The aggressive work In the field will bN

PITTSBURGH. Pn., Aug. 2i.-The
coal operators IN their meeting tonight
after waiting in vain for an answer
from President Ratchford to their tele-
gram, asking for a conference here to-
morrow to arbltrate the strike question,
issued the following statement to the
public shortly after midnight The
statement was given out after day OF
waiting and was preciptated by the
following resolutions passed to-day,
Resolved, That committee be au-

agree to confer and no satisfactory ba-
sis can be agreed upon In said confer
ence, TO propose that matter In dispute
between the miners and the operators OF
the Pittsburgh district be submitted TO
arbitration provided the miners are put
TO work at once. pending the decision OF
said board OF arbitration"
The operators statement says: The
operators now have exhausted every eff
fort to make amlcable settlement. but
the miners refuse either TO meet In con-
ference or arbltratc. The position taken
by Mr. Ratchford occasions great sur
prise 90 the operators. He insists In
