Queen Greatly worried.

The critical condition of the Dowager
Empress Frederick of Germany is caus-
ing grave anxiety in England, not only
on her own account, but through the effect
Of her death on Queen Victoria. The loss
OF her son, the duke of Edinburgh, and her
cousin, the duchess of Teck, and the ter
rible death roll in South Africa have tried
the queen sorely. Another family loss, il
is feared, might wrench to the breaking
point the wonderful fortitude of Great
Briiains ruler. It is said she is already
much upset and strongly desirous to g
to the bedside Of her eldest daughter. Bat
the queens physicians are endeavoring to
dissuade her.

Operators In Convention.

Scranton, Oct l6.--A conference of the
individual coal operators and the general
mining superintendents of the coal.carry-
ing roads was in session Monday afternoon
behind closed doors. II was attended by
all the representative mining interests Of
the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys.
The only feature that the operators
and their superintendents here dislike is
the failure OF the miners to incorporate
the powder question in their proposal.
This being left undecided will tend TO
keep the matter on edge for several days
at least, and is regarded as possible
source Of trouble in the future.
President Mitchell Of the United Mine
Workers will leave Scranton this after
neon for Hazleton, but before he goes he
may be in possession Of some important
news relative 10 the strike situation.
