The possibility OF General Butler max
ing another dash appears to depend
greatly upon the exact position OF Gem
eral Lyttleton's brigade. Beyond the
understanding that it is on the north
side OF the Tugela river, everything is
matter OF supposition.
1t will easily be seen that il General
Littleton still holds the drifts iMu the
north side, General Butler retains the
openings and might attempt another
advance by way Of Potgiers or some
neighboring drift. But the vagueness
regarding the position of General Lit
tleton resolves all this into the purest
surmise.

each STATE BY ITSELF
Such Settlement of Mine Diff
ferences Expected.
INTERSTATE AGREEMENT MAY FAIL
strihes LIKELY to Occur. But In Some
statos Is Not Likely to Last Long--Ohio
and Pennsylvania Miners and Operators
Practically Agreed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.--Ohio and
Pennsylvania operators will not con.
slider anything over straight advance
of 10 cents per ton for mining The con-
dition summed up In few words is
that the operators and miners in the
states of Indiana and Illinois have come
to deadlock that will break up the in
terstate movement unless the miners re-
cede from their position today. The
name holds good as to Illinois, while
Ohio and Pennsylvania are very Iiear to-
gether on an agreement.
President John Mitchell, Of the MIN
ers, said that unless an agreement was
reached by Saturday the conference
would adjourn. The miners feel that
the operators are not averse to the break
ing up Of the interstate movement. This
would bring about general strike and,
in EVENT this is declared, it is possible
each state can make its own agreement.
Under this state of affairs, it is likely
some of the miners would not be out two
days.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-THE primary
clause in the agreement which the op.
orators and miners OF Pittsburg and
Ohio settled here relates to the measur.
ing of coal. The two fields, instead OF
the double standard of mine run and
screened lump coal, which could in the
past be shifted at the option of the op
orators, will be changed to single
standard screened coal basis. The oper.
ator will be allowed to retain the pres
ent uniform inch and one.quarter screen
but he will forfeit the privilege now en-
joyed Of running his coal by that sys
tenn or the gross weight system, at hil
convenience, or as his interests seem tc
dictate. OF course the operator will be
permitted to weigh coal on the mine
run basis, but it will be done on a sys
tenn which will protect the miner from
an abuse of the privilege.
The miners Strengthened out this mat
ter by deciding, in secret session, ;C
waive the first clause in their scale de-
mand, which stated that whatever the
scale decided upon it must be based ab
solutely on fixed run of mine basis fol
the four states OF Pennsylvania, Ohio
Indiana and Illinois.
This conciliatory action made the frs
step in the scale committee possible
and acting upon the instructions of tn
miners convention, the miners repre-
sentatives on the joint scale committee
reached the decision noted.
The fight between Illinois and Indian
on u question of interstate differential
, has been simplified by the miners an,
operators OF Pennsylvania, Ohio an,
Illinois deciding that the Indiana oper
, ators are in the wrong, and combining
, to force the belligerents into line.
!, The deliberations Of the joint seal
committee were temporarily adjonrne
to allow the Indiana operators to hold
, caucus to decide on the critical point a
issue. With Indiana out Of the way tn
, scale controversy will be solved.

WASHINGTON, Feb. LA spirited and
sensational debate was precipitated in
tho senate by the presentation by Mr..
Fettigrew Is. d. Of resolution, which
ne desired to have read for information.
The clerk began to read and IL became
evident that the matter contained in the
resolution was the statement of Aguin-
aldo concerning the insurrection Of the
Ellipinos against the Spaniards. The
statement contains Aguinaldo's version
Of conference between him &id Ad-
miral Dewey and the statement thai
Admiral Dewey recognized the Filipino
republic.
MIR. Lodge protested earnestly and
read u letter from Admiral Dewey, which
said:
DEAR SENATOR LopGE-The state.
ment Of Emilio Aguinaldo, as recently
published in the Springfield Repubi-
can, SO far as 1t relates to me, is tissue
OF falsehoods. / never promised di-
reotly or indirectly, independence for

an ally, except to nuke use OF him and

any conversation with me or my ofh.
GERS.
"rhe statement that received him
with military honors or saluted tho So
called Filipino flag is absolutely false. "
After some manoeuvring, the South
Dakota senator gained the floor.
The admiral, Mr.. Pettigrew said, de.
clined through his secretary to say any.
thing IN regard to the document, feeling
that he must adhere to his intention not
TO discuss tho Philippine question In any
form in advance OF the Philippine COM
missions report.
"Now," said Mr.. Pettigrew. "Ad
miral Dewey, after the publication oi
| the document, sends here a letter repu
dating the statements he Ia quoted al
having made and denouncing them rs .

did recognize the Filipino republic,

"How?" inquired Messrs. Lodge anG

Mr.. Gallinger and Mr.. Sawye
Conn., objected to the continuance o
the discussion, the latter saying: II
is treason. IL is lending aid and com
fort TO an enemy of the United States
and the senator has been doing that TO
month"
"The threat Of treason" Mr.. Petit
grew declared, twill not deter us fror
disclosing the facts as they may com
into our possession.
Mr.. Lodge gained the floor and sal
in part:
"As between the statements in this
pamphlet and tho word OF Georg
Dewey, ! will take the word Of Geora
Dewey"
The debate continued to be Of u rathe
warm character.
Sewall declared Pettigrew a traitor
his country. He believed Lawton
death was due to Mr.. Pethgrew as
rectly as to the bullet of the Philippin
: who shot him down.
