ANOTHER STRIKE ORDERED
 IN ANTHRACITE COAL REGION
Operatives Steadfasty Refused to Recognize the Miners as Body and President Mitchell Orders Suspension of Work
 Awaiting Conference Which Seems Improbable

us producers of wealth fully equal with our employers.
 motion was then made and unani- mously agreed to, that all anthracite miners would respond to a call for sus- pension of work should the executive off, ficers fail to arrange a joint conference with the officers. It was agreed that if the operators ignored the overtures of their employees and forced the miners to engage in a strike, the officials of the or ganiZation were empowered to request all men employed in or about the mines, strippings and colliers to cease work
 Held Secret Conference.
 The committee then adjourned and President Mitchell and the officers held secret conference at which plans were discussed for bringing about the desired meeting between operators and miners. It was decided that President Mitchell and the presidents of three districts would hold another conference Monday, when | their plans will be completed.
 | Mr Mitchell left fer Scranton today 1 and will make that city his headqI'a arterS He said that the delegates were f-s-unit in their approval of the action taken. 1 "Regarding our chances for. success. l prefer not to talk said Mir. Mitchell. l "The convention's action shows what the mine workers believe their chances to be. Every one said last fall that the miners would not win.. yet they won. Words can not express how we regret being forced to consider such step The Miners Union stands for peace, but peace upon firm foundation"
 The most imp tant demads, which the miners would ma Ike is recognition of their unios. which was not insisted upon dur ing the strike last year, and a uniform wage scale. In order to bring about the latter condition a slight advance. it is said, will be asked for by the men in the Lehigh Schuyllxill and Wyoming regions Considerable bitterness has been engen- of the mine owners to confer with them, and many of them claim that last years Scranton agreement has been violated by the employers. On this account they assert their determination to insist upon proper adjustment of their grievances.

General Harrison had been president since it's beginning, came wreath Of tulips, carnations and roses. The offering of the Marion Club was a wreath of white roses and volets, with large vase of Ameri- can Beauty roses.
 A Touching Incident.
 Early in the morning Mrs. Harrison entered the room where her husband lay to be alone with him. As she stood in the darkened chamber, the door of the room opened noiselessly and an old sol dier bent with age came slowly in. He did not see Mrs. Harrison, and leaned over the dead face and tears came to his eyes.
 Colonel" he said softly, and touched the white hands on the generals breast. "Colonel"
 Mrs. Harrison came to where he was standing and said:
 q am Mrs. Harrison"
 "You will excuse me-" the old man said flor intruding on your grief, but l want ed to see my old commander once more, just once more I tried very hard to come to Indianapolis to see him when he was alive but 1 never could. When l heard he was dead, I wanted to give him the old salute for the last time," and raising his hand to his forehead in true military fashion, the old man turned and passed from the room. The incident nearly over powered Mrs. Harrison, and 1t was some- | time before she regained her composure. | At a quarter to 12 o'clock General Me 1 Kee ordered 2500 infantry men, standing | at "attention" on both sides of the street to present arms" and in the reVentia hush which followed, the casket was car ried from the house and placed in the funeral car.

Hazleton, Pa, March 16.-By unanimous votes today the delegates to the United Mine Workers Convention, which had been in session in this city for nearly week. decided to suspend work at all an thracite mines until the operators agreed to meet the miners executive board in joint conference before April l. A strike seems inevitable
 The operators have steadfastly refused to recognize the miners as a body, and there is rot the remotest indication that they will pay any attention to the de- mads made by President Mitchell and oth- CT members of the executive board that they will meet the miners in joint con- ference to adjust grievances.
 The resolution authorizing the board to declare a strike Is as follows:
 Whereas, We have several occa- sions invited and implored the operators to meet with us in joint conference tc agree upon and establish scale of wages and conditions of employment for the term of one year; and
 Whereas, they have repeatedly ignored our intentions and treated us with con temptuous silence, scorning our invita- tions and demands alike; and
 Whereas, We believe that we are en- titled to much more consideration than we received and are fully entitled to meet with those who employ us and are our equals under the law and constitution of our country and with them discuss and decide matters of mutual interest; there fore be it
 Resolved That we authorize our na- tional president, national executive board and officers of districts one, five and nine. to negotiate If possible, for a joint con ference of miners and operators between this date and the first of April, 1901. In the event of their failure to secure joint conference they may, by majority vote, decide the policy of our movement. even if it Is necessary to resort to cessa- tion of work to enforce the justice due

RUMOR DENIED.
Southern Railway Not Purchaser of
 New Orleans Terminal.

New Orleans, March 16-The statement that the Port Chalmette property was ac- quired at the recent foreclosure sale by one of the trunk lines entering this city upon inquiry in railroad circles is found to beuntrue, the property having been bought by some of the bondholders who propose to reorganize the property under the name of the New Orleans Belt and Terminal Company to handle a general belt and terminal business with all the roads entering the city.
 The rumor that the Southern Railway is the purchaser Is deemed absurd, ow- ing to the fact that they have no financial connection in this city, all their business being handled by the Louisville and Nashville and the Northwestern, who have extensive terminals of their own.
