PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 2S.-The coal
strike remains unsettled. Reports Of con-
ferences of mine operators and of leading
ofncials of the coal-carrying railroads were
plentiful. Beyond the general statement
that the principal point under discussion
was the advisability or practicability OF
granting the mine workers a 10 per cent.
advance in wages. very little of the details
OF the meetings could be cleaned The
operators generally expressed the opinion
that the increase could not be granted and
the operating expenses met unless there
was an advance in the price Of coal. The
larger operating companies. however. took
rather a hesitating view Of the proposition
to further increase the price of anthracite.
contending that the competition of btu
minous coal was now too sharp.
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, Is Feticent on the general ques-
tion OF accepting a 10 per cent increase
without other concessions. and declined 10
be interviewed on that point.
Meantime the strike leaders are continu-
ing their efforts to induce working miners
to join in the strike. Quiettide prevailed
to-day throughout the mine region. All
eyes were turned toward New York in ex-
pectancy of some important announce
ment from there.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The State De-

of any of the events of more or less i'm

in China, according to various European
reports within the past twenty-four hours.

CONFERENCE OF OPERATORS.

sfdered at wiIkesbarre.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept S.-An i'm
portant meeting of the coal operators Of
the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys was
held at the Office of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company in this city to-day. All the
representatives of the big coal companies
with colIieries in this section were present.
The only individual coal producers repre-
sented was Coke Bros & Co. w. A.
Lathrop, general superintendent of the Le-
high Valley Company. the chairman OF
the joint association OF coal operators OF
the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions.
presided The conference lasted from 10
o'clock until o'clock, when adjournment
was taken until 2:So. when Major l. A.
Stearne, general manager OF the Coke
Bros mines, joined in the conference.
After the conference was several
operators were asked for information, but
they were very reticent- Superintendent
Lathrop said: I'VE discussed a scheme
Of advancing the wages of all the men

The der question was also discussed.
but we are not prepared to give out any
information regarding our deliberations on
the subject"
From another reliable source 1t was
learned that the presidents of the coal
companies I'm New York sent a draft of
the proposed settlement of the strike to
their representatives here with instructions
to meet in conference and discuss whether
IL would be advisable to make terms with
the strikers on the basis stated. This in
volved great deal OF labor and caused
endless discussion. Some of the superin-
tendents thought the increase could not
be granted without loss. 1t was argued
by those opposed to granting the increase
that the cost Of mining has increased con-
siderably the past five years and with the
mines getting deeper every year 1t is bound
to increase still further in the years to
come. The only way to meet operating
expenses in case an increase is granted is
to advance the price OF coal
The president Of one OF the big compa-
nies in New York who was called up by
long-distance telephone for his views Is
said to have stated that he did not think
an increase in the price of coal could be en-
tertained. Bituminous coal is too sharp a
competitor now. and an increase in anthra-

cerned. The penalties generally have been

and cargo of the offending nation. or seiz-
ure or detention. The legal position of
pacific blockade, however, is so unsettled
as to the attitude of the blockades toward
the vessels Of states not concerned that
their course has varied in almost every
instance
The first pacific blockade ever instituted
was in 1921. when the coasts of Greece, then
nominally subject to Turkey, were block
AIDED by English, French and Russian
squadrons. New Granada was blockaded
by England in 1866, Mexico by France in
1888. La Plata by France in 1S3s-40, the
Greek ports by England in $780, the coasts
of Formosa by France in 1884. Greece by
Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy and
Russia in 1885, and Crete in 1897 by the six
powers of Europe. When Formosa was
blockaded by France In 1884 the blockade
was intended to include neutral vessels as
liable TO capture and condemnation, not
withstanding the fact that France had not
assumed the attitude OF a belligerent. This
position was assumed because France de-
cided to continue to coal at Hong Kong.
England refused on this occasion to admit
that under the circumstances France had
the right to capture and condemn neutrais.
In 1897. when the European powers block
AIDED Crete, the ships of neutrals were al
lowed to enter and discharge cargoes, pro-
vided they were not intended for the use
OF Greek troops in the interior. Previous
to that, In 1887, the Institute de Droit Inter-
national adopted declaration to the ef-
feet that pacific blockade was only per-
missible condition that vessels under
foreign flags could freely enter blockaded
ports and that vessels of the offending ma
tions which might be sequestered when
the blockade ceased should be restored to
their owners without compensation. The
United States itself resorted to the ex-
pedient of the pacific blockade three days
prior to the declaration OF war with Spain,
when. by executive order, certain of the
Cuban ports were blockaded.
If the report from st. Petersburg should
prove to be correct the supposition is that.
as it is based on the alleged activity OF
the Chinese feet the blockade would be

American in the crowd concerned-formed
a scret organization. whose purpose was
to- mob Governor Roosevelt. Among their
number was an Italian by the name Of Igo
Ferrio. He listened to all they had to say,
and this afternoon called upon Chief of Po-
lice Griffin and Mayor George West and
apprised them of what TO happen as
soon as the Roosevelt party was in the
town.
The mayor and chief of police are both
Democrats. but they acted with prompt
ness Extra police were sworn in. and all
the detectives of the city put to work. BY
the time the Governor arrived six of the
ringleaders were under arrest, and the
others were notified that stern measures
would be resorted to If any attack was
made. The effect of this was salutary.

evening with mob OF hoodlums shouting
for Bryan" and cursing Roosevelt. no
violence has been offered the Governor or
his friends 1t Is impossible, however. for
them to appear the streets without in
suit being offered.
The men who planned the riot and attack
belong to the lowest class OF population in
Pueblo Many of them do not speak the
English language. and few have any under
standing of American ways. That some
one instigated them to plan this attack
there can be no doubt, but who Ii Is i'm

of these men go armed, and this fact, with
the eggs and stones they proposed to use.
would have made the assault upon the
Governor a most dangerous one. He was
quietly told of the proposed raid and how
the city authorities had nipped il. IT did
not deter him from attending all the meet

inally intended to.
