A SETTLEME NT
Of All Differences Between the Miners
and Operators Confidently Expect
ed.

PITTSBURG, Pa, January H.-Conces-
sions are being made by the representa-
tives of the coal miners and operators on
the joint scale committee, and the outlook
for a satisfactory settlement of the ques-
ton is more promising than at any time
since the opening of the interstate conven-
ton.
The miners have gained a partial victory
in securing a favorable consideration of
the eight-hour workday cause in the new
agreement. A fight is bling made by the
operators for a double standard, while
the miners insist on the run-ofmine
system and the abolition or screens.
The demand of the miners for an ad-
vance equivalent to 10 cents ton under
the present screen system, may be modi-
fed somewhat. The operators demands
for reduction of 10 cents a ton will not
be considered at all by the diggers.
The interstate convention met to-day,
and as the scale committee was not ready
to report, adjourned without transacting
any business.

been officially notified of the existence
of the treaty, and that, therefore, he
declines to recognize American author
ity and refuses to allow Americans to
disembark in force without express
orders from the government at Malolos.
Gen. Miller, the commander of the
American expedition, replied that the
Americans cannot recognize President
Lopez's authority because the Filipino
republic is not recognized by the pow
ers. He also expressed regret at the
determination of the Filipinos to re-
sist just claims.
The United States gunboat Petrol
and the Spanish gunboat Ell Cano are
near Iloilo.
The natives at the fort mistook the
United States cruiser Baltimores meal
pennant for a challenge, and have
hoisted a red flag on the fort thrice
daily, lowering it simultaneously with
the Baltimore's pennant.
The United States transport Indiana
has gone to Iloilo with dispatches to
Gen. Miller from Gen. Otis and coal
supplies for the expedition.
The British seeond-class cruiser
Bonaventure and the German second
class cruiser Irene have returned here.
Both the Iloilo banks have sent their
treasure here.
The American and Filipino commits
sioners are reported to have conferred
at the Filipino club with unsatisfactory
results. The natives allege that they
must have official recognition before
discussing the question of a protec-
torate. Another conference is believed
to have been arranged for tomorrow
night, but the officials here decline to
confirm or deny this statement.
Coasting steamers which have ar
rived here report that the natives are
fortifying Falbayog and the island OF
Samar, refusing to allow Americans to
land there. The garrison consists of
thousand men armed with spears.
They have only six rifles.
Owing to persistent rumors of a
contemplated attack upon Manila on
Saturday and Sunday, the American
troops were confined to their quarters
all the guards were doubled and as
measure of precaution, foreign flags
were flying on the business and private
houses everywhere as on the day of
the entry of the Americans into this
city. The Esoolla, the usually busy
thoroughfare, was deserted Saturday
night.
A score of groundlesr alarmist ru-
mors are still abroad, bot confidence
is being restored.

The ballots cast in the county of Wood
in the recent election, were taken to
Charleston this morning by County Clerk
B. f. Stewart.
Mr. Stewart arrived here from Charles
ton Friday night, and this morning began
packing up the ballots which were de-
posted in the county court room.
When seen regarding the removal, Mr.
Stewart stated that he had been served
with an order from the committee to pro-
duce the ballots, and he was acting I'M
der those orders.
Attorneys have given it as their con-
struction of the election law that Mr.
Stewart has no right to remove the bal
lots, but they are gone nevertheless This
matter will probably be inquired into.
On January 10 the attorneys for Morris

evidence tending to connect the murder
OF Mrs. Adams with the death of Henry
same time may either tend to clear
the person most under suspicion in the
Adams case, or to establish the fact
that he had an accomplice has been
discovered by the police. According
to an admission made by Captain Nc
Clusky to-day the discovery came about
through an inspection of thousands of
requests for samples of Kutnow pow
ders, which the police some weeks ago
admitted were in their hands.
1t was Kutnow powder containing
cyanide of mercury that was sent to
Barnet, and the handwriting on the
Cornish package and that of the re-
quest sent TO the Kutnow people ask
ing for sample of the powder is, the
same, according to William j. Kinsley
and David n. Carvalho, the handwrit-
ing experts. This request asks for a
sample of the powder to be sent to a
private letter box address in this city.
Postmaster Vancott denies that it is a
postotfice letter box, and it is believed
that the address was private letter
box in an uptown cigar store.
1t is said that the police have accept
ed the theory that two persons were
concerned in the poison plot, and that
Captain McClusky believe that the poi
soner's accomplice wrote the letter now
in possession of the experts as we'll as
the address on the package sent to
Cornish. AS soon as the latest reports
are made by Kinsley, Carvalho and
Prof. Witthaus, an arrest, or possibly
two arrests will be made.
Captain McClusky said to-day that
when an arrest was made it would not
be in Brooklyn or Newark, but in Man
