OPERATORS EMPHATIC.
Declare That No Attention VIII BE
Paid to Demands for n Con-
ference.

New York, March 20.-Officials of
railroads controlling operations in
the anthracite coal fields, and having
headquarters here, are emphatic in
their declaration that no attention
will be paid to the demand of the mine
workers for conference.
Philadelphia, March 2O.-The Rec
ord says: 1t is no longer a secret
trait a strike of the anthracite coal
miners on April /, as threatened by
President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, unless the operators
consent to a conference with the min
ers, would not be looked upon as q
calamity by certain operators. If
the views and desires of these off,
cials are respected the question of q
fight to a finish is up to President
Mitchell. There are but few oper-
ators who do not condemn the step
taken at j. r. Mnry;ln's dictation in
conccding to the miners the advance
in wages last fall. when, as they con-
tend, the strike if continued for sew
eral weeks longer would have result
cd IN the miners defeat. These same
operators admit that Mr.. Morgan still
dominates the anthracite situation
and that whatever course the Read
ing and Lchigh Valley p,rsues the
rest must follow. Some do not hest
tate TO express their fears that at the
last moment Mr. Morgan will weaken
and grant concessions asked for now.
Mr.. Morgan, besides trying to float
the 81 900. 900. 900 steel trust, has S32,-
O00,000 worth of Eric railroad collater-
al four per cent. bonds to sell which
have been issued for the recent Dur-
chase of the Pennsylvania Coal COM
pany. There is likewise $4,000 900
worth of Reading,]crsey Central col
lateral trust four per cent. bonds to
put on the market. The coal secure

London, March 16.-The following
dispatch has been received from ITEM
tsin: The British and Russians are
disputing over the limits of railway
property in the Russian concession;
and the guards of the two nations are
in close proximity to each other. The
British have been strongly reinforced,
and trouble is imminent unless the
Russians retire.
A dispatch from Picking states that
the Russians at Tientsin have taken
possession of the railway siding and
armed sentries are now guarding it..
Gen. Barrow (second in command of
the British forces) hesitates to act
apparently in the absence OF Gen.
Gaselee. feeling sure that bloodshed
would ensue. He has had q long con-
sultation with Sir Ernest Satow, the
British minister. The Russians are
jubilant.
London, March 1s. - The British
press calls on the government to MAIN
tain its prestige in China, even if it
may be necessary to call out all the
resources of the empire. The Standard
warns Russia that Great Britain's
rights at Tientsin will be maintained.
Great Britain, Germany and Japan
are said to have warned Russia not to
seize Manchuria.
The gravity of the dispatches from
Tientsin We're such that the marquis
of Lansdowne, the foreign minister.
and Lord Salisbury were in frequent
communication Saturday and both re-
manned in town Sunday. A telegram
from Tientsin says.
"The Russians and British are occupying
long trenches only 45 yards apart. These
are filled with troops, but the English out
number the Russians twenty to one. I'M
less the st. Petersburg government takes
conciliatory view of the dispute the Rus
slams will attempt to drive out the British.
Every possible influence has been brought
to bear with the view to arriving at q
! friendly solution"

nounccment: eve learn that Count
j Waldersee has interfered as com
mander-in-chief of the allied forces in
China to put an end to the mutually
hostile attitude of the British and
Russian troops at Tientsin."
The Daily Mail, in an editorial which
frankly faces disagreeable situation
says:
1--WE must admit that this is no juncturt
to risk fresh quarrels. Our ornaments art
inefficient and our fleet in the far east Il
so weak that its position would be perilous
1t is painful process for the nation It
have its face slapped, but until the coun
try compels the government to put ou

that, it ADDS to rather than detracts

hardly be argued. The spectacle of

quite the most ridiculous spectacle on

For example, the press reports on

from Kitchener to the effect that "our

columns sent out from Krugcrsdorp
failed TO prevent the fall of the post.
