AIS PER CENT. WAGE RAISE.
WIndow w Glass Workers VIII be Given
big Advance I'm Pay.

Indianapolis, May 3.-As the re-
suit of national conference Of win
dow glass interests held here Thurs
day it was decided to close down
nearly all factories in the United
States on May II and to give all em-
ployes an advance IN wages of Is per
cent. The conference was attended
by representatives of all the cooper
ative glass factories in the country.
There were also present members of
the wage workers committee and
President Chambers, of the American
Window Glass Co., commonly called
the trust. The result of the confer
ence affects 2,750 glass blowers and
/ 900 other employees, all of whose
wages will be increased Is per cent.
President Chambers, of the Amer
lean Window Glass Co., arrived here
in the afternoon and was closeted
with President Burns, of l.. a. 300.
The object was to get the corpora
tions to close down on May II. The
wage committee decided to demand
from the manufacturers an advance
over last years scale of Is per cent.
The presidents of the two glass com
bnations were notified of the demand
and said the advance would be al
lowed provided the co-operatives
would agree to close their factories
on May II. When this proposition
was announced to the representatives
of the cooperative factories the ma
jority agreed to close down on that
date.
The action of the co-operatives,
however, does not meet with general
approval, and there are indications
that some of them will refuse to
abide by the action of the majority.
One of them said:
"A ma jority has voted to close
down, but |, for one, will not abide
by the order. l.. A. 300, the indepen-
dent combination and the American
Window Glass Co. have practically
forced us to agree to close on May II.
/ do not hold that this order will be
binding on us. We cannot afford to
close that early. The custom has
been for our factories to close during
July and August and we will do so
this year, but my factory will not
close on May H.

FIVE MINERS KILLED.
Seven Others wero Injured-A Cntas-
trophe In Indian Territory.

South McAlester, |. T., April 30.-An
explosion of gas occurred Monday in
the mine of the McAlester Coal Co. at
Anderson, by which five men lost
their lives, seven were injured, ard
another is reported missing. The
killed:
Emanuel Taylor. colored.
Wiley Clark and brother, colored.
Andrew rescol.
Dominica Wesoluty.
Joe Petrovtch is missing. 1t was
not known at the time the reporters
visited the mine whether he was
killed, or had come out and gone
home. Two others were tempo rarily
overcome by fire damp, but recovered
soon after being brought out.
When The explosion occurred about
125 men were at work in the mine. 1t
is not definitely known how the gas
ignited, but it is probable that some
of the men fired shot that the shot
firers had not fred. The shot-firers
enter the mine in the evening after
the miners leave and lire all the shots
or blasts that the miners have pre-
pared. Sometimes shots are not
well prepared and the shot-firers re-
fuse to fire them.

Naib-es-Sultaneh, who was the first
Kajar valiahd to be named governor.
general of the great northwestern
province of Azerbaijan, of which Ia
briz is the chief town. This great
prince died a few months before his
father, in the year 1884, and his son.
Mohammed Shah, succeeded to the
throne. 1t has ever since been an un-
written law that the valiahd Tor heir
apparently shall be governor general Of
Azerbaijan, and shall reside at Tabriz
during the whole reign.
Such was the case with Muzaffer-ed-
Deem Shah, who succeeded to the
throne after the assassination of his
father, Nasr-ed-Deen Shah, on Nav 1,
1896, and arrived in Teheran in June
of that year, after having been
crowned at Tabriz, where the present
valiahd, Ala Mohammed Mira, re-
manned as governor general.
The valiahd, says London Black and
White, was born on July "a, 1872, and
is therefore 2S years old. He enioyed,
with his two younger brothers, the ad-
vantage of European tuition. of which
his enlightened father saw the mpor-
tance. The prince has acquired very
fair knowledge of French, and is in
every way an example of the modern
progressive spirit of the last decade in
Persia. His highness is anxious to visit
Europe, and it is thought likely that
the shah may not be adverse to under
taking a journey this year
The valiahd takes after his father in
many ways. He has the same kindly
and courteous manner which endears
him to all who have the privilege of
coming into contact with him. At the
same time he seems to have inherited
from his grandfather, Nasr-ed- Deem
Shah. the firmness of character and
strong constitution which distin-
guished the shah who was so we'll
known in Europe. He has at the same
time inherited from both his ancestors
that passion for sport and outdoor ex-
ercse which has for generations been
the lament of the weakly and indolent
courtiers who, at all times and in
all weathers, have been obliged, at a
moments notice, to accompany their
royal masters on fatiguing shooting
expeditions in the rocky mountains
which surround the capital.

Government Eek hibil.

Buffalo, n. Y, May 2.-The beauti-
full electrical display last night was Il
eliminating event of the opening day
of the Pan-American exposition. The
attendance in the morning was small,
owing to the threatening weather,
which kept away many from nearby
towns. Later in the day, when the
sun broke through the clouds, the
crowd began to assume the proper
tions of an exposition throng and last
night thousands passed through the
turnstiles.
The gates were opened without
ceremony. the opening day cere-
monies having been postponed until
May 30, when they will be combined
with dedication day exercises.
William Hamlin was permitted by
agreement to purchase the first
ticket, he having offered some time
ago to pay $1,000 for the privilege.
At noon the paid admissions only ag-
grgated about 1000, the ma ajority OF
the visitors being employees or others
entering on passes. At noon the
government buildings were thrown
open and Chairman Brigham, of the
government board, made brief adj
dress. In this building the Smith
Sonian's exhibit. as well as those of
the national museum, the interior de-
partment, navy department, treasury
department, post office department,
fish commission and Philippine ex-
hibit were practically complete.
The naval exhibit includes models
of all the types of warships now in
the navy, among them the battleships
Iowa and Texas. the cruiser Brook
lyn, the ram Katahdin, the monitor
Miantonomah, the training ship An
napolis and the ill-fated Maine. Much
of interest was to be seen in the
building devoted to manufactures and
liberal arts. Exhibits in the agri-
cultural building were also assuming
shape. In the Midway Bostock's
animals, the Indian congress, the
Hawaiian village and other features
were ready for business and attract
ed many visitors.
At . p. m. "A salute of As aerial
bombs was fired, and hundreds of
flags were raised on the buildings.
At o'clock in the morning a num-
Der of pigeons were released. Thirty
five went to Oil City, 25 to Cleveland
and five each to Toledo and Pitts
burg. Attached to their legs was

tion and extends to every one an in
vitation to participate in the pleasure
and benefits of this six months fes-

Chicago, May A photographer
brought dog show to an abrupt
close last night. He took flash
light picture of the show, where p
900 dogs are chained up, the aisles
between the kennels being jammed
with sightseers. Ten pounds of
fashlight powder were used and the
flash and fumes set every dog frantic
with excitement. They made every
kind of dog noise and many of them
tugged wildly at their chains in the
attempt TO get at the crowd. This
produced much excitement among
the people and there was rush for
the doors. A number of women
tainted, but no person was injured.

GERMAN ENTERPRISE.
1t Cuts "a Wide SYath in Central and
south American Trade.

Washington, May "A report OF
timely interest concerning the re-
remarkable growth of German COM
mercial enterprises in South and
Central America has been received at
the state department from Vice Con-
sui General Murphy, at Frankfort,
Germany.
Mr.. Murphy enclosed extracts from
articles recently published in Ber-
lin journal showing Germans re-
markable foothold in South and Cen
trail America. Among the state
ments made are that the German
steamship lines occupy such a
strong position in the South Amer
lean traffic that the North American
commercial fleet is entirely unable to
enter into competition with them.
Five large German steamship com
panies are engaged in trade with
South America and especially with
Brazil.
Furthermore it is stated that in the
southern portions of the continent
there already are ove:' 100000 Ger
man colonists and the German com
mercial spirit has completely driven
out the English in the central and
southern provinces.

A STEAMSHIP COMBINE.
j. r. Morgan Takes steps TO Console
date Two Great Lines Of Ocean
Steamers.

London, April 30.-The first step in
the direction of the consolidation of
some of the biggest transatlantic
shipping interests has been accom-
plished by the purchase by J. =. Nor
gan & Co. of the Leyland line of
steamers. A deposit on the purchase
money has been paid.
The purchase of the Leyland line is
tantamount to its consolidation with
the Atlantic transport line.
For the present the Leyland will
retain its name and be under the
same management, though changes in
the directorate are likely to occur
shortly.
The result of the projected con-
solidation will be Il steamship com
pany with the largest tonnage of any
company in the world.
New York, April 3O.-The local rep
resentatives of the transatlantic
shipping interests,generally speaking,
decline to discuss the reported pur-
chase by j. Pierpont Morgan & Co..
of the Leyland line of steamers. II
is pointed out that the purchase by
j. p. Morgan .and the men associated
with him will enable the United
States Steel Corporation to land its
products in any ports where the
Leyland line controls dock privileges
at the lowest rates, since, in the
event of disposition on The part OF
any of the companies 10 charge high
er rates than the steel corporation
desired to pay, it would be compara-
lively easy to transfer ships to any
of these lines and, if necessary, to
