c. {. LOSS MATTER.
The Meeting Yesterday Was Postponed
Till Today, and TOdav's Till
Next Thursday.

The c. f. Loss & Co. had been
summoned to appear in court yester-
day afternoon at , clock to show
reason why +. II. Gates should not
be appointed receiver permanently,
he having been appointed Temporal
rily receiver for that company. They
asked pOstpOnement till o clock,
and then another till s this morning
At s this morning they asked a post
ponement till next Thursday. which
was granted. 1t is believed that by
that time some disposition will be
made of the case. When the receiv-
ership of Mr.. Gates is made perma
nent, If it become necessary, his
powers will be enlarged, so as to en-
power him to make of the property
whatever disposition he may desire
to make 1t is understood steps are
now taking to get the matter into
shape.
The situation is a peculiar one.
The Loss company seems to have paid
nothing worth mentioning since they
came TO the city. A new bill came
in today for 50, 200 from a scraper
company at Aurora, III. Another
came in for $400. and it transpires
that the company had never paid its
rent, its little telegraph bills or its
telephone bills. So far as is known
no steps have been taken to make
matters right. They have number
of attorneys here, but what is being
done is unknown. They seem de
sirous of postponement OF the con-
tirmation of the receivers appoint
ment, but their intentions beyond
that point are unfathomable to the
parties interested.
The total indebtedness known, up
TO date, is over SO, 900. 1T is under
stood that all these claims will
eventually be paid by parties who
are connected with the c. E. Loss
company, and who are anxious tc
keep their own personal credit clean.

From the trend of the remarks OF
the delegates ii was gathered THAI
the 10 per cent proposition as it now
stands, has very little chance of being
accepted. The delegates seemed, it
was learned, to be almost unanimous
that the operators would first make
concessions in the other grievances
before the Increase is accepted by the
mine workers.
Stress was laid on the necessity of
abolishing the sliding scale and sub
stitutiug therefor n tonnage basis on
which TO fix the rate of wages The
proposition of having the operators
guarantee fixed time for paying the
advance was also thoroughly discussed
while not a few delegates said they
would be satisfied with nothing but a
more liberal increase in wages.
The mode of procedure is matter
which is now occupying the attention
of the labor leaders. In case the con
vention comes to a definite under
standing on some proposition $he
question has been asked how the oD-
orators will be advised. in view Of
the fact that the latter have repeatedly
said they would not recognize the
union. President Mitchell will not
discuss that phase of the question and
none of the other labor leaders will
venture an opinion. That the present
convention will not come to definite
conclusion issthe general opinion now.

Dr. Morrison says: There was not
