WASHINGTON, June 2.-As the
time of the convention draws near,
Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee, is receiving
a number of vigorous complaints from
the members of the national committee
and other leading Democrats through
out the country over the action OF the
Motel people in Kansas City in the
matter of rates. Many of the commit
teemen who write Chairman Jones on
this subject are urgently requesting
that a meeting of the committee be
called with a view of reconsidering its
action in deciding to hold the conven-
ton in that city. A prominent mem
Der of the committee writes as fol-
lows:
Il engaged rooms for my delegation
at the Coates House at S. per day, with
a parlor for headquarters at $50 per
day. The proprietor of this hotel now
writes me that a contract for accom-
mediation means the 4th, 5th, 9Th and
18th Of July, whether the convention
lasts that long or not Of course, if
it lasts longer, the amount will be pro
rata per day increased, or if you take
the accommodations on the third it
would be a five-day contract instead
of a four day contract. This is an
outrage upon all pretense at decency,
and l will not close such a contract
for my delegation"
Chairman Jones says that other
members of the committee are writing
him in the same line and that certain
members seem very determined in their
efforts to change the location of the
convention from Kansas City to some
other more desirable and attractive
place. No action has yet been taken
in the matter by Chairman Jones,
though he has it under serious consid-
Grafton.
KANSAS CITY, June 1.-The sub
VI luc NNdIIOudl DeIlOCTdLlC
Committee has announced a meeting in
Kansas City on Monday next to con-
slider the question of alleged exorbitant
hotel rates. j. j. Swoford, chairman
OF the local executive committee on
convention arrangement, left for New
York last night on business. Before
leaving Mr.. Swoford said that facts and
fgures regarding hotel rates that would
prove satisfactory to all concerned,
had been compiled and would be laid
before the committee on Monday. He
declared that the charges of exorbitant
rates were and cited the fact
that a rate of $1.25 a day, European
plan, had been offered by one local
hotel for headquarters for the entire
Virginia delegation. At the first class
hotels the average charge, American
plan, asked for by the convention, is
So a day, four persons to a room. The
local bureau of information appointed
to secure rooms in private homes for
the overflow from the hotels has report
ed that after making canvass of but
one-third of the city, they have made
accommodations for thirty thousand
people. These accommodations will be
in the best portion of the city at an
average rate per room of 50 a day,
European plan.

VICTORY FOR COAL MINERS
The Anthracite Operators Aceede to All the
Demands Made Upon Them by Their
| Striking Employees
THE END OF A REMARKABLE STRIKE

Phliadelphla, october 1.-THE confer
ence between the individual coal oper-
ators and representatives of the big
| coal carrying companies, with a view of
bringing about the termination of the
anthracite coal strike, wasresumed this
morning at the office of President Har-
ris, of the Reading Railway Company.
The opinion was expressed by persons
in touch with the situation that the
main bone of contention is the freight
charges eXacted by the coal-carrying
companies.
ELEVEN STRIKERS ARRESTED.
Hazelton, Pa, October 17--Eleven
Slavonian stri'-'fl wto ar 4iieef+d to
have been leaders of the mob which
started the riot at Oneida last Wednes-
day, when one private guard was killed
and several persons dangerously in
jured, We're arrested to-day and taken
to Pottsville for a hearing.
THE GREAT STRIKE ENDED.
Philadelphia, October 1.-THE oper-
ators' conference resulted in an agree
ment to accede to the demands made by
the mine workers convention. The
Reading company issued the following
statement: "It hereby withdraws the
notice posted on October 3, 1900, and to
bring about practical uniformity in the
advance of wages in the several coal
regions; gives notice that it will sus-
pend the operation of the sliding scale,
and will pay 10 per cent advance on
September wages till April 1, 1901, and
thereafter, until further notice, will
take up with the mine employees any
grievances they may have"
The Lehigh Valley company, in whose
region the sliding scale is also in oper
alton, will issue similar notice, as will
also the individual operators represent
ed at the meeting. This meets all the
demands of the strikers, and means the
immediate ending of the strike.
A DEMAND FOR TROOPS.
Hazelton, Pa, October 17-Frank
Pardee & Co. this afternoon made de-
mand on the governor for troops. The
Wilkesbarre Coal Company also asked
that troops be sent to McAdoo.
OPERATORS OBSTINATE.
Philadelphia, October 17.-Up to the
present time the Reading officials have
|given no formal consideration to the de-
mand of the mine workers convention
that the sliding scale be abolished.
GETTING READY FOR THE END.
Scranton, Pa, October 17.-That there
is positive assurance of the end Of the
strike Of the anthracite miners seems
certain to-day, in view of the prepara-
tions being made all through the Lack
awanna valley FOR the resumption Of
work. The coal companies are crowd
ing the mine sdings with empty cars in
order to be prepared for the great de-
mand for coal which will necessitate the
running of the mines and breakers to
their utmost capacity for weeks in or
der to get stock ahead to meet the VIM
ter demand.
