operators, Conference at Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, July 2S.-Eighty-nin coal
companies whose mines are located in
the Pittsburg district are represented
at the coal operators uniformity meet
ing here. The operators who ship by
river and those owning mines in the
Westmoreland field were not present.
The river operators held meeting at
the Coal Exchange and decided to take
no part in the uniformity movement.
No attention was paid to the call by the
Westmoreland people.
Very little has thus far been accom-
plished. The old uniformity agreement,
the new clauses inserted, was reported
on by a committee. Where changes in
the conditions since 1896 warrant diff
ferent provisions committees were APP
pointed to draw up clauses that will
cover the points at issue.
Colonel w. P. Rend of Chicago pre-
sented a minority report on the uni
formity agreement, denouncing the pro-
ceedure of the meeting in severe terms
and bolting the conference.
w. P. De Armitt said he wanted 1t
distinctly understood that the call to
adopt uniformity did not have anything
to do with the strike, as he did not pro-
pose to arbitrate anything while under
fire nor admit that the operators were

We must take Hawaii very soon
or run the risk of having Japan make
such demonstration against the
government of the islands as will sure
ly lead to a rupture, and possibly a
war with the United States. Once the
American flag is hoisted over gov
erment buildings in Honolulu the is
land will be safe from attack from any
nation unless that nation has calmly
resolved to go to war with us. The
situation is daily growing more tick
lish and Japan almost surely med
itates some sudden move after our
Congress adjourns. The proper and
the only safe thing to do is for the
Senate to ratify the annexation treaty

EXTRA SESSION ENDS.
Congress Passes the Dingley Tariff Bill
and Adiourns.

Washington, July 2S.-The extraordi-
nary session of congress which has just
closed was called by President McKin-
ley two days after he took the oath of
office on the steps of the capitol It
met in pursuance to his proclamation
at noon March Is. The special mes
sage transmitted by him to both houses
on the opening day was brief 1t ex-
planned the deficiencies in the revenues,
reviewed the bond issues Of the last
administration and urged congress to
promptly correct the then existing con-
dition by passing tariff bill that would
supply ample revenues for the support
of the government and the liquidation
Of the public debt. No other subject of
legislation Was mentioned in the mes
sage, and the tariff bill has been the
all absorbing feature of the session. The
Republican members Of the ways and
means committee of the preceding
house had been at work throughout the
short session which ended March 4, CIV
ing hearings and preparing the bill
which was to be submitted at the ex-
ira session. Three days after the
session opened the tariff bill was
reported to the house by the ways and
means committee, and 10 days later,
March 81. it passed the house. 1t Went
to the senate. was referred to the COM
mittee on finance, and the Republican
members of that committee spent a
month and three days in its considera-
ton and in preparing the amendments,
which were submitted to the senate
May 4. Its consideration was begun in
the senate May 7, and exactly two
months later. July Z, it passed the SEN
ate, with S72 amendments. The bill
then went to conference, where, after
a 10 days struggle, ON July II a com
plete agreement was reached. by which
the senate receded from 118 amend
m-nts and the house from 511. The
others, 243 in number, were compro-
missed. The conference report was
adopted by the house July 10 at the
conclusion of 10 hours of continuous
debate. The report was taken UP in
the senate July 20 and adopted Sat
urday, July "a, by a vote of 40 to 30
The tariff bill was signed by the presi-
dent the same day.

The Japs are alread weighed down
with load of self-conceit that threat
en- to be their destruction, but if they
ever see Prof. Marsh's estimate of
their brain powder and his prediction
that by their excess of brains they
will eventually conquerthe Caucasians
and therefore the world, they will at
once seize Hawaii, whip the United
States and proceed without delay upon
their all-conquering path. Prof.
Marsh does not allow us to think that
he may be mistaken in his conclusion,
for he begins back in the old red

YoNkERS' BIG BLAZE.
Half Million Dollars Worth of Prop
erty Destroyed.


Yonkers, N. Y, July 2S.-A big fire,
which for a time it was feared might be
accompanied by considerable loss of
life, broke out last evening in the
blowing room of the hat factory of
William Reed & Co. on the lower floor
Of the Shethar building on Elm street.
The large gas meters exploded imme-
diately after the flames first burst
forth, and the escaping gas from the
meters helped to feed the flames. With
in few minutes the fire was breaking
through the windows. Of the first and
second stories. The gas carried the fire
rapidly through the section of the build
ing nearest to the spot where it started.
During the fire the battery of four
boilers in the big hat factory exploded
and hurled burning embers and bricks
in all directions. endangering the lives
of the ffremen. 1t took over three hours
of hard work to bring the fire under
control The losses are very heavy. The
lowest estimate is 100000, and others
run UP as high as $3.50. .000 Reed & Co.
place their loss roughly at $4,000. The
losses of Rowland Bros, Pass Bros. and
the Yonkers Silk company are set down
at $4,000 each. The loss on the two
buildings totally destroyed is estimated
at S240, 900.
The insurance cannot be given, but
will probably cover the loss. About 800
people are thrown out of employment
