WILL DEMAND SO CENTS
PITTSBURG MINERS NOT SATISFIED
WITH COMPROMISE RATE.
Delegates to the District Convention
Instructed to Hold Out-Clay
County Miners Give In.

PITTSBURG, Sept. 6.-The district con-
vention tomorrow to elect delegates to the
national convention of miners at Columbus,
O., promises to be the largest and most
important ever held in this city. Meetings
have been held throughout the district to-
day to elect delegates to this convention.
In almost every case the delegates to the
district convention have been instructed
to elect representatives to the national con-
vention who will fight for the maximum
rate $50 cents), but 1t is believed the lead
ers will convince the delegates who will at
tend the Columbus convention that the only
thing left for the miners is to accept the
65-cent compromise for the present and at
the December conference insist an a higher
rate for next year. District President Pat
rick Dolan said tonight: What good is
a man in a conference if he is loaded down
with instructions. 1 satisfied if good,
honest men are sent to the convention they
will act in accordance with the light Of
truth placed before them
Mr.. Dolan said a proposition will be
made to the miners to maintain camps at
mines where the district price is not paid
and an assessment will be levied all
miners at work to meet the necessary ex-
penses. He said every effort would be
made to make the price adopted at Co
lumbus uniform throughout the district
The Pittsburg district is entitled to in the
neighborhood of fifty delegates to the
Columbus convention, but not nearly so
many will have the means to attend. Those
who do go it is confidently expected will
fall into line for the 65-cent rate, and by
Sept. Is it is hoped all the miners in this
district, except those of the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company, will be
working at what will then be considered
the union rate The coal operators of the
Pittsburg district are awaiting with no
small show of anxiety for the outcome of
the conferences at Columbus. The &C.
ceptance of the offer will put an end to
the strike. A refusal may mean an in
definite struggle

SWATIS SURRENDERING
GIVING UP THEIR GUNS AND SWORDS
TO THE BRITISH.
Ameer of Afghanisfan Trying to Keep
Ognized as Property.

SIMLA, Sept. 6.-The Swatis UP to the
present, have surrendered 1000 guns. 1000
swords and 20 breech-loading rifles. A few
days after the durbar at Cabul, when the
Arneer of Afghanistan repudiated the COM
plicity of his officials in the uprising of
the tribesmen on the Indian frontier, the
British agent addressed a letter to him
asking for a specific answer to the strong
rumors that natives from Lughman were
joining the Haddah Mulah and that sup
plies were being sent from Palura for the
followers of Haddah Mullah. The Ameer
Immediately replied in an autograph let
ter, reminding the British agent of his pub
lie reputation of the completely of his Of
ficials adding that through the mullah's
disciples helped the fanatical priests they
could not do so openly for fear of the
Ameer. The latter also informed the agent
that the Afghan officials at Nuigrahar had
been instructed to secretly watch the suS-
pected disciples of the mullah in Afghan
istan and he asserted that the Governor OF
Lughman recently attacked and dispexEed
five hundred men who had been COLLECTED
by the mullah's disciples and who were
about to join the mullah. The Governor,
the Ameer further asserted, had arrested
forty of these men.
A dispatch from Jamrud says it is re-
ported there that the Haddah Mullah Las
gone to his home and that his followers
have dispersed owing to the refusal of the
Halimzai Mohmands to join in the upris-
ing. All the Afridi tribes held palaver at
Tirah on Friday last when a majority Of
those in attendance opposed the plans of
the leaders for the adoption of hostilitles
against the British on the ground IL at
every house was already mourning for those
who fell at the capture of Fort Lundi-Kotal
and that the crops We're ready to be mar
vested.
LONDON, Sept. 6-The Times's Simla cor
respondent says that in addition to dispers-
ing the Lughmanis, who had been collected
by the mullahs disciples, and were abou.
to join the mullah, the Ameer's troops also
scattered a body of Shinwaris who had as
sembled near Peshbalak, intending to enter
and hold the Khyber pass for the Afrdis.
The Ameer, the correspondent says, Is
plainly determined to keep the tribesmen III
check and measures will be taken. by his or
ders that will cripple the mullahs power
and probably prevent further rising.

BRAZIL WILL ACCEPT.
Miners Give in to the 65-Cent Prop
OsitiOn with Reluctance.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL. Ind, Sept. 6.-This afternoon
large mass meeting of miners was held in
the courthouse grove. and circular from
the executive officers giving the PROPOSE
tions of the Eastern operators was read.
The miners were advised by the national
officers to accept the 65-cent rate. This
caused almost a row in the convention, as
many wanted to instruct the delegate sent
to Columbus to demand So cents or moth
ing. Finally Philip Roberts was selected to
represent the block coal miners without in
structions. consequently he will vote to &C
cept the 65-cent rate. This, however, does
not mean that the miners will return to
work at once, as hitch is probable in set
Ting the scale of the machine miners.

BOGUS MARQUIS D'ARCHAIC.
Republican France Recognizes NObiI
larry Titles as Property.

larry Titles as Property.
PARIS, Sept. 6.-France has just taken
a very important step with regard to no.
hillary titles, and those who thought her.
editary titles were not recognized by the
present regime find themselves mistaken.
The republic refuses to grant titles, but it
now recognizes them as family property
for the first time since the fall of the en-
pire
The Count d'Archaic, owner Of one of the
oldest names and titles in France, and mar
red to a lady of the ducal and historic
house of Gramont. whose country seat is
the castle of Villaers st. Paul, found that
one Bourdeille, who acquired a fortune in
trade at Calcutta, was posing at Paris with
his wife under the name of Marquis
d'Archaic. Inasmuch as the soi-disant
marquis did not use his assumed name ana
title for purposes OF fraud, but only en-
ployed them in conjunction with his patro-
nymic, the count was at first told that ne
had no redress. Finally he applied to the
courts, expecting defeat on the ground that
republican tribunals could not recognize no.
hillary titles. The judge decided in his
favor declaring that the title and name of
Archaic belong by. inheritance to the
Archaic family, and constitute part and
parcel Of their property; that Bourdeille
had not the slightest right thereto, ana
wound up by enjoining the latter against
any further use of either name or title the
penalty being a fine of IS for every IN
fringement of the decree.
Actresses and demi-mondaines have been
in the habit of assuming names that figure
in history; some are styling themselves
tesse De st. Jouffroie while the fair rabbit
tanner for whose sake the Duke of Orleans
Tilted his cousin on emerging from his
French prison has assumed both the name
and arms. though fortunately not the title,
of the Inflated Duchess of Alencon, who
persisted in the flames of the Charity Ba-
zaar at Paris. In fact there is scarcely a
historic name in France that is not to be
found figuring as the nom de guerre" of
women belonging to what is known as la
haute galantere at Paris.
