PITTSBURGH. Dec, 2O,-The coal
operators and miners held separate con-
yentlons to-day preliminary to the Jolnt
convention to be held Tomorrow for the
purpose Of fixing the mining rate for
1895, Both conventions were largely at
tended and the important questions
which are TO come up tomorrow, were
thoroughly discussed. Judging by the
results of to-day's work It would appear
that to-morrows convention win not fix
the rate and another general strike IS one
OF the possibilities.
The miners convention was asked by
the uniformity committee to allow dif-
ferential OF ten cents in favor or the
operators who sign the uniformity agree
ment. The miners by meagre majori-
ty decided to allow the dliierentlal. but
when the matter vas brought before the
operators convention II was ignored,
Thus 1t looks as though uniformity In the
Pittsburgh district Is remote.
on the rate question, the miners passed
resolution which means n complicated
fight In spite OF the fact that the courts
have ruled the new mining law uncon-
stltulInnnl, the resolution demands q rate
OF forty-nlne cents a ton for coal as 1t
comes from the mines without being
screened. The operators decided 10 ig-
more the new mining law entirely. Both
conventions to-day favored an attempt
to bring about an Interstate convention
OF operators and miners to be held at
Columbus. Ohio. some time next month
for the purpose OF fixing the mining rate
for the several states,
with the complications above men,
toned, the prospects for decisive action
at to-morrow's meeting are anything but
bright.

patton Of Port Arthur was connected
with the visit there OF the British war
ship Daphne week aso, when, In
spite OF the protests OF the Chinese, tho
Daphne entered the inner harbor, al

Russian ships there, China complalped
OF the incident to the representatives
Of the powers at Pekln.
The British far eastern squadron Is
said 70 be at Tallcmoan and according
TO the correspondent quoted, is shortly

The Cologne Gazette regards the oc-

cooperation of Germany with Russia
In eastern Asia.
