THE COAL CONFERENCE.
Differentials and Mine Run System Likely
to Cause Trouble.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-Two very brief
sessions were held by the joint conven-
ton Of bituminous coal operators and
miners yesterday. The scale committee
made but little progress, and, pending
the receipt of report from them, the
convention adjourned until today.
Progress in the scale committee was
slow Every phase of the situation was
thoroughly discussed. President Ratch-
ford Of the mine workers advocated, it is
said, the wedding out of unskilled labor.
The adoption of the mine run system, it
is thought, is a certainty. Over this
matter and the differential allowed by
the new scale to be formed trouble may
occur. The Ohio operators are putting
up a strong fight for their differentials,
and declare that they will procure CON
tracts with their employees TO work on
the Jump" basis if their demands are
not aCceded to.

Philadelphia, a few trustees for state
institutions and few judges, if there
happens to be any vacancies, and that
is all.
Socially his administration has been
exceedingly successful, far exceeding
that of an, other administration in the
past quarter of "a century. At the close
Of his administration he will return to
Bellefonte and take up his law practice
and banking matters, with an occp-
'siorial look into his coal mining inter-
ests.

RED CROSS WORK IN
 THE CAPITAL CITY
All Regiments Passing Through Sac ramento Are Given a Hearty
 Welcome.

SACRAMENTO, June 1S-Since The Calls first step toward engaging the CO., operation of the women of California under the banner of the Red Cross Sacramento has contributed generously The local Red Cross Society of Sacra- mento was the third to complete it's or ganiZation in the State. Mrs. Albert Elkus Is the president, Miss Emily Thompson secretary and Frank Miller treasurer. The affairs of. the order are in the hands of a board of directors, in- cluding the following: Mrs. T. w. Shee- han, Mrs. D. A. Lindley, Mrs. George H. Smith and Mayor Land.
 The headquarters of the society have been established at Fifth and K streets. and during each day the women of Sacra- mento congregate there and engage in various duties assigned to them by Mrs. w. D. Lawton, who is at the head of the sewing department"
 Thousands of bandages, comfort bags and other articles of necessity have been made. In addition to providing for the possible wants of the boys who are to go to the front, the women of Sacramento have by no means forgotten the passing regiments. No train transporting troops across the continent has been drawn into the depot at Sacramento to find no prep arations made for its reception. Generous donations of fruit and flowers have greet ed the boys. and what perhaps was more acceptable still has been the copious sup ply of good hot coffee and bounteous chunks of fresh-baked bread. Other towns adjacent to Sacramento have taken up the work, and contributions are com ing in at a rate most gratifying to the local society. Arrangements have been made to hold a monster bazaar at Oak Park on July l, the proceeds to be added to the Red Cross fund.-

AGUINALDO'S
 ACT RAISES
 NEW ISSUES Declaration of Republic May Lead Up to Com
 p1iCations.
It Is Feared Germany May InCite Natives to Resist the
 United States.

NEW YORK, June 1S.-The Herald S Washington correspondent telegraphs: In the determination of the insurgents Of the Philippines to form a republic, as stated in the Herald this morning, the authorities see prospect of new complications arising out of American possession of white elephant" Up to the present 1t can be stated on au- thority that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, and the men under his con- nanJ have scrupulously observed the instructions given them by Rear-Ad- miral Dewey. This is particularly true with reference to the proposition to seize the city of Manila
 Unless unforeseen circumstances should arise Manila will not be attacked by the insurgents with a view to its occupation until the arrival of the American troops, and Rear Admiral Dewey has informed the Navy Depart ment he is certain that Aguinaldo will comply with his wishes in this respect.
 In restraining the insurgents Rear Admiral Dewey is guided by desire to avoid giving the Germans any oppor- tunity to land a strong force of blue jackets and marines from their war ships. This might be done should the insurgents capture the city on the plea that German subjects and German 1n- terests may be in need of protection.

 BOSTON, Mass, June 1S.-A Concord N. H., special says: Senator Chandler says editorially in this evenings Mon itor:
 Both classes are the same, the men who opposed declaring war and who now wish to prevent it's success. When the war ends they will wish that every foot of land conquered from bloody and desperate Spain by humane and brave Americans shall be given back to sla- very and oppression. But such is not to be the result.
 "Our sailors and soldiers are going to try to conquer everything in sight, even the Canary Islands, and perhaps Cadiz and Barcelona. That is the way every war is carried on. Each side cap- lures not merely what will be its gain, but everything which will be the other sides loss.
 If we could capture the wives and families of Blanco and Cervera or even the Queen Regent and the young King of Spain we should do it very quickly, not because we want those persons for our own. use; we have no use for them but because the other side would want them. They would be fine assets in our hands. So the outcry against imperial ism is premature. So far as it comes from copperheads who opposed the war 1t Is almost treason because it tends to discourage military victories over the public enemy. So far as it proceeds from a Democratic partisan motive it is a stupendous party blunder, which ii persisted in means hopeless and pitt full minority. For William J. Bryan to insist upon leading a United States regiment against the Spanish foe while shouting political speeches declaring | that we rnuSt not hurt SDaniardS by making imperialistic conquests is ridic- | ,,1o

American troops to preserve order in the city after it's capture there will be no excuse for Vice Admiral Diederich the German commander-in-ch chief, to land a force, and Rear Admiral Dewey will plainly tell him so should he take such action and retain a guard on shore, that the American troops are sucient tffio guard foreign interests and that a foreign force is unnecessary.
 The Philippines will be proclaimed as military possession of the United States as soon as Manila is taken, and the backbone of Spain's military power In the far east is thus broken. Whether the insurgents form a republic or not, the affairs of the islands will be ad- ministered by Major-General Merritt as military governor. It is believed in of ficial circles that the Germans if they see any gain in 1t for themselves will attempt to stir up the insurgents against the Americans.
 It is possible, therefore, that a clash may occur between the natives and General Merritt should they estab- fish a republic and attempt to admin ister the affairs of the islands. It is hoped by the officials the insurgents will be satisfied at the change in their status and with the fair treatment they will receive from Americans.
 There is no concealing the fact the administration is more worried over this feature of the general war situa- tion than any other, because of likeli- hood of it giving rise to additional and perplexing complications.

Passengers Allege the Other Vessel Cut Squarely Across Her Bow When Near

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAUSALITO, June 1S.-What might have proved a disastrous collision be- tween the ferry y-boats Tiburon and San Rafael was narrowly averted this af- ternoon by the coolness and quick ac- tion of Captain Mckenzie of the San Rafael. Both boats were crowded at the time and panic was caused by the impending accident.
 The Tiburon was on her way to San Francisco and the San Rafael to Saus- alto. When about a half mile north of Alcatraz Island Captain White of the Tiburon, according to the accounts given by the passengers, deliberately turned his boat from her course, head ing so as to cross the bow of the San Rafael Captain Mckenzie saw that if the vessels proceeded on their course an accident was inevitable and re- versed his engines, bringing the San Rafael to dead standstill and allow ing the Tiburon to pass in front by the narrow margin of about twenty feet.
 The passengers ran to the railing of the boat. Many of the women shrieked in terror, and young children clung to their mothers skirts, wailing in abject fright
 When the San Rafael reached her moorings at Sausalito, a most indig- nant crowd of passengers came off.
 Among them was Supervisor Thomas Haskins. He said:
 Tt was the most blundering piece of work I ever saw. If it had not been for the coolness of our captain we would have cut the Tiburon in two and great loss of life probably would have resulted. If this carelsssness is

 VICTORIA, June 1S.-If a report published in the Hawaiian Star of June is not fiction Honolulu narrow ly escaped being made the scene of second Maine disaster. The Star says:
 If a report which was in circulation this afternoon be true Honolulu came near being the scene of as frightful a disaster as that of the Maine, in the same way. An attempt to blow up the City of Pekngs magazine was frustrated just in time. An enlisted man, said to be half Spaniard, was caught in the act of arranging a fuse connecting with the magazine, which contained 400 tons of powder. The das- tard is now under the closest guard and when the Peking gets out on the high seas he will be hanged at the yard arm.
 'The greatest secrecy concerning the matter is being maintained for rear IL would mar the spirit of the present oc- casion. The officers deny the story, but only in a half-hearted sort of a way Many correlative features tend to prove the report, which was circu- lated by enlisted men. Many admit there was half Spaniard on board ana two Honolulu citizens, who were on the Peking on June 3, said the man was in irons under close guard. They were informed by the guards that he was the man who attempted to blow up the ship.
 Tt seems, also, that the Peking had another close escape before leaving San Francisco, a sling of powder through neglect having been dropped into the hold. The matter was hushed.
