Fighi Between Socialist Deputies,
Other Legislators and Soldiers.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 25.-Deputy Demblon
entered the vestibule of the Chamber of
Deputies this afternoon, accompanied by
band of Socialists. The officer in command
of the guard informed him that, in pursu-
ance of the presidents order, he could not
be allowed to enter, whereupon NJ. Demblon
raised cries of "Vive Iarmee!' "Vive la
republique.'' A crowd collected and at
tempted to rush the soldiers, with the re-
suit that there was a violent scuffie, the
troops withstanding the mob with fixed
bayonets and a hand-to-hand fight taking
place between the Socialists and anti-so-
cialists. For time the tumult was indie
scribable, and a strong body of police was
required to quell the disorder.
Within the Chamber of Deputies the wild
est excitement also prevailed. The Socialist
deputies demanded to know who was re-
sponsible for the violence of the soldiers
toward the deputies. The tumult became
deafening, and the ministers who attempted
to reply were shouted down. There was
further uproar when one of the questorS de-
ciared that he was responsible for the pres
ence of the troops in the chamber adding
as a warning to the Socialists that he
would always do his duty against them.
NJ Vandervelde, Socialist, denounced Pres
ident Beernaert for calling him d fighting
man." whereupon the president suspended
the sitting amid great disorder. When
speech justfying the action taken against
the Socialists whereupon M. Vandervelde
again rose and uttered a violent TRADE
against the questors and asked who had or
dered the Socialists to be thrashed.' After
further disordecly scenes the Chamber re-
ton condemning the action of the officers of
the house.

A Diplomatic Case.
Philadelphia Tines

The Siam Free Press, a newspaper printed
in the English language at Bangkok, brings
news that another matter of diplomats

rather more serious than the bicycle ride Of
Mr. Hays staff in England. 1t appears
that some fifteen or sixteen months ago

" Kellett was assaulted by soldiers OF his
Siamese Majestys army acting as police.
Mr.. Kelett had sent his clerk, Nal Sye, an
English-speaking native, TO the postOfEice at
O'Clock in the evening. While he was on
the way he suddenly arrested on the
public street and locked up, charged with
carrying a dangerous weapon at night, the
weapon being a light walking stick with
silver head. AS soon as Mr.. Kellett heard OF
the arrest he went TO the police station and
made inquiry through an interpreter as TO
the cause of the trouble, and on learning it
protested against the arrest and demanded
the release of his clerk There was no OBJ
lection made to this beyond saying that the
stick must remain where 1t was Mr. Kei-
lett WAS willing that 1T should be held, aud
ordered Mai Sye to so home, which he did,
and the vice consul, accompanied by some
missionary friends who had gone with him.

Guilty was satisfactorily settled. They had
scarcely gone forty yards when they were

attempted 20 arrest the whole party Mr..
Kellett resisted. but In the fracas was much
hurt and his friends We're also knocked
about. Sye was finally taken into custody
and the soldiers gave over their efforts TO

MINERS AND OPERATORS
STILL DISCUSSING THE SCALE CUES
TION IN JOINT CONVENTION.
Agreement Probable IL the Conflict
IinOisans Can he Adjusted.

CHICAGO, JAM 25.--The coal miners and
operators convention drew Il step nearer
settlement to-day. Although the scale COM
mittee to which all matters were referred
back reported an all-nght sitting. with no
agreement, it was stated the Ohio and
Pennsylvania operators had practically
thrown aside their differences. and it re-
NAMED for Indiana and Illinois operators
to do the same. After receiving the scale
committees report a recess was taken to
allow a conference of Ohio operators On
their re-entering the hall the secretary read
the result of the conference, which was as
follows: IF all other points at issue in this
convention can be settled, Ohio will not
allow the question of differentials to stand
in the way of settlement"
President Ratchford suggested that be-
fore the whole matter got back to the scale
committee, the remaining difference be-
tween Indiana and Illinois operators be dis
cLssed until the hour of recess. This plan
was agreed to and a prolonged debate on
the conditions existing between Illinois and
Indiana and Indiana and Ohio followed
Colonel Rend, who operates in both Indi-
ana and Ohio declared that the compete
ton existing between Indiana and Ohio,
which had been raised as reason why In
diana operators should have double stand
ard in order to compete with Ohio coal was
nominal, only obtaining in Michigan mar
kets This was denied by Indiana operat-
ors. The outcome of the whole debate was
that the Illinois miners and operators
agreed to meet and confer over the objec-
tons raised by Indiana operators to
scale based on the present system in Illi-
nois. The result of this conference will be
row, which will in turn report to the joint
convention this evening. A spirit of con-
citation and fairness seems to pervade the
convention, and if this spirit is carried into
the committee meetings quick settle
ment is not entirely out of the question.
Illinois operators and miners met during
the afternoon ana discussed plans whereby
could be smoothed over. 1t is understood
that the committee which consisted of
twenty-one miners and a like number of OPP
orators, came TO an agreement to make some
concessions TO the competing territories of
Indiana and asked for the same considera-
tiCn at the hands of the Indiana people. 1t
is understood the scale agreed on would be
equivalent TO a screened rate of sc cents
and a mine-run rate of 40 cents for the
denied, but the Indiana operators adj
NIT that the Illinois conference submitted
a plan, and, in order to meet the Illinois
people fairly. they have called a meeting
with their miners, which will be held to-
morrow morning. and will discuss the plan
presented by the Illinois conference. On
the result of this conference will depend the
action taken by the scale committee. If,
as it is now anticipated by the majority of
the issue half way, quick and satisfac-
tory settlement will be reached.
