I MIrERS' CONVENTION.
nearly Five Hundred Delegates At
tend the Opening Session OF the
indianapolis Meeting.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 15.-Nearly
500 delegates to the national conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers OF
America were present at the opening
session and another 100 are expected,
The larger delegations here are: Ohio,
30; Pennsylvania, Is; Illinois, 100; Ken
lucky, IS; Iowa, 10; West Virginia,
20; Indiana, go.
The convention represents 100000
worltmen in ~ states.
All OF the delegates came instructed
to demand an advance in the scale,
but there is some difference as TO how
much will be demanded Most of the
delegations are very reticent on this
score. The Indiana delegation decid-
ed upon an increase Of Is cents per
ton.
In the matter of machine mining it
was concluded to stand for a Hat diff
ferential rate of 2 cents between pick
and machine mined coal. This is the
Illinois rate and, while the delegates
are of the opinion that the operators
have a slight advantage even at this
rate they will be satisfied if the con-
vention fixes it at this figure. The
pick mines will suffer under this rate
in slow runs, it is said, and a great
many men will win be idle, however,
the figure named is looked on as be-
ing as near an equitable basis as can
be reached. t
Screens came in for a great amount
of discussion, and it was finally deter
mined to demand one and a quarter
inch Akron bar screens, 6x12, and
while this did not meet the approval
of all the delegates an agreement was
reached to accept these.
Many other delegations, it is under
stood, will follow the demand of In
diana. Pennsylvania will demand an
advance of 10 cents on pick and 1874
on machine coal.

GALE STILL RAGING.
on the Newfoundland Coast Not
Yet obtninnb1e.

st. Johns. N. F., Jan. 15.-Thc gale
has not yet blown itself out and the
sea is still too rough to allow boats
to get near the wreck in st. Mary's
bay. AS yet there is nothing to show
the name of the vessel Ten bodies
have been located among the rocks
and they can be seen floating about.
Plans have been made for the recover
ing of these as soon as the weather
permits, it may then be possible to
get at the name of the steamer from
pieces of boats wedged IA the clefts
of the rocks.
A photograph washed ashore repre-
sents a seaman wearing a cap upon
which are the letters IS. NJ. e. Fake"
1t appears that the ships funnel
was banded red, white and black with
white diamond. This funnel could
not be that of the Fake, as she, being
a North German Lloyd liner, would
have q yellow funnel. 1t is also
thought that the photograph might be
one OF "a seaman Oh Tic German wsr-
ship Fake or one taken while its own
er was on the other Fake.
The tunnels most resembling that
of the wreck are those of the Ameri-
can Petroleum Co., which are banded
black, red white and black, and the
vessel certainly had a lot of petrole-
UNI on board, as the ocean is covered
with it causing hundreds of birds TO
perish.
The Warren line of Boston is known
as the White Diamond line and al
though the tunnels of its vessels are
black, the wreck may have been a
chartered steamer with a white dia-
mond painted over the regular signal

Forecast of the Weeks Proceed
ings in Both Branches of the
National Legislature.
INTERESTING SESSIONS ARE PROMISED
Important Resolutions Will Be Fully
Discussed aud Final Action on
Several May Be Taken.
The Philippine Question and the
samoan Treaty Likely TO he Dis
posed of ia the seDRte-IROu-
tiRe Work in the House. l'.-

Washington, Jan. 15.-The senate
probably will resume consideration Of
the Pcttigrew resolution making re-
quest for certain information concern
ing the beginning of the war in the
Philippines. This win be succeeded
by a speech on the financial bill by
Senator Rawlins, of Utah, if the pres
ent programme is followed. Senator
Pettigrew will continue his speech on
the Philippine resolution. After he
concludes Senator Berry, of Arkansas,
will take the floor for general speech
on the Philippine problem if sufficient
time remains.
When the Pettigrew resolution is
disposed of the Hear resolution will
supply food for talk each day in the
morning nour, and after the Hale res
olution concerning the seizure of
American goods by Great Britain will
be taken up. sas.fU
1t is Senator Aldrich's announced
purpose to press consideration of the
financial bill each day after the con-
clusion of the morning hour, but it is
not probable that he will succeed in
securing a daily speech on the sub
iect. Senator Teller probably will
speak some time during this week,
after Senator Rawlins concludes. 1t is
also understood Senator Daniel will
be heard soon on the question of the
finances. Other addresses on this sub
ject will come later.
The consideration Of the Samoan
treaty in executive session will be re-
sumed if the legislative work permits,
and Senators Bacon and Money win
make speeches in opposition to it. 1t
is also possible that the report in the
Quay case may be presented late in
the week.
The house will plunge into the rou-
tine work of the session this week.
Most of the time, excepting Friday,
which has been set apart for paying
tribute to the memory of the late
Vice President Hobart, will be devot-
ed to the consideration of appropria-
ton bills. 1t is expected that both
the urgent deficiency and the pension
appropriation bills will be passed this
week The former, containing as IL
does many millions for the army and
navy, will raise the whole question as
to the instruction in the Philip
pines, with its allied issues, and ieaI
to very pfotracted debate. How far
the republican leaders will allow the
debate to run has not yet been deter
mined, but If the democrats insist and
are persistent, they can hardly refuse
them several days, in view of the
large amount of appropriations in
volved.
The pension appropriation bin is
also likely TO cause some spirited de-
bate owing to the disposition in GER
tain quarters to criticise the conduct
of the pension Office. Attempts doubt
less will be made to legislate upon
the bill and secure reversals of some
of the pension commissioners rul-
ings, but as all such legislation is
subject to a point of order, it will
fail.
There is no present prospect that
the Roberts case win get into the
house before next week.

An nsvent, of degree of interest ant importance. for Cuba which it is diff cult to overestimate, took place in Ha yanaon Monday last. ha
 This was the opening of the constitu tienal convention, delegates. to which were elected short time, ago. The convention was called to order by Gen isral Wood, as military governor of the island, who told the delegates that il would be their duty first to frame ant adopt . constitution for the govern ment of the island, and then to formu late what in their opinion ought to be the relations between Cuba and the United States at.a .st sg .,,
 He also explained to them that the constitution must be adequate to secure stable, orderly and free government fol the island. 5Jsts ls .4ssi
 The delegates, after organizing, took an oath solsmnly renouncing any ale glance to, or compact made with, any state or nation, whether directly or in directly, and affirming the sovereignty of the free aud independent people ot Cuba. The outcome of the delibera tions of the convention will be watched with interest. a4J aluraz
