negotiations will chiefly be conduct

likely that several months viii elapse

basis of the senate's amendments.

A MINE ON FIRE.
The O'Donnell Rapidly Burning and
Loss will be Heavy.

FAIRMoNT, Feb. 9.-The Palatine
Coal Company's mine. better known
as the ''O,Donnell, a short distance
east Of this city. is still burning at a
rapid rate. A blaze was noticed
about II o'clock yesterday back in the
mines by some OF the employees and
but little time was lost In warning
every individual In the mines to drop
their tools and run for their lives.
The fire commenced, it is generally
believed, from miners lamp setting
fire to boards that enclose the tank
which contained 40 gallons Of Oil.
The last man had scarcely gotten out
until the cans contents were ignited.
Flames and smoke went in all direc-
tions. The tank was located about
40 feet back from the main heading
and for possibly 400 feet it is one ring
of fire. Several men were put to
work shoveling earth at the main
heading and the several entrances in
order to smother the flames, but as
yet they have been unsuccessful.
The mine contains but little gas, and
it gives employment to about As men.
In all probability it will be several
days before repairs can be commenced
and the mine placed in shape for oper-
alton. The loss to the company is
heavy.

Another disgraceful scene occurred
over the vote ON this amendment.
Mr.. Kidd demanded the ayes and noes

demand being little slow about ris-
Ing, the president refused to recognize
them when they did rise. Kidd stood
on his right to recognition any time
before the result Of the vote was an
nounced, and the president ordered
the sergeant at arms to seat the Sena-
tor.
Sergeant Fitch approached and re-
quested Mr.. Kidd to be seated, but

Mr.. Spooner offered the following
amendment to the army appropriation

FAVORABLE TO MILES.
Committee Agreed On His Nomination.
Also Major Generais--Tllrce of Brig
adiers Were Not Decided.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The senate
committee on military affairs agreed
to report favorably the nomination of
Major General Nelson A. Miles to be
lieutenant general. and also the three
nominations to the office of major
general under the army reorganiza-
ton bill
All the nominations to be brigadiers
also were favorably acted upon, ex.
cept those Of General Leonard Wood
General Fred ID. Grant and General
J. Franklin Bell. These three were
held up in order to permit further In.
vestigation.
1t Is said that In the committee
there was no disagreement to the ac
ton taken. The feeling which pre-.
vailed was that Generals Wood. Bell
and Grant had not seen sufficient
military service to entitle them to
promotion over many older and ex
perienced officers. While 1t was
stated that the action of the commit
tee was not final, there was an Inn
preston that the confirmation of the
other nominations should be made
first.

Bishop Peterkin Successful.

Bishop Peterkin, Of the Episcopal
Diocese Of West Virginia, has secured
the funds for the erection Of church
in Porto Rico. A lot was offered for
a church site, provided an $4,000 edi-
fee would be erected upon it. The
offer was to be withdrawn II not ac-
cepted by the both. A letter from
the Bishop states that wealthy
Philadelphia agreed to make up any
deficiency In the funds for the church
and guaranteed enough to build the
church, so the offer was accepted. A
young clergyman who speaks Spanish
sailed Friday for Porto Rico TO take
charge of the local work.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. February g.
A delegation from the West Virginia
Legislature composed OF State Sena-
tors Harmer and Price and representa-
tives Hayes, Willis and Sheer and Col
Cook of the governors staff, escorted
by Senator Scott and Congressman
Dayton, called on Secretary Long at
the navy department yesterday and
thanked him for his action In naming
one of the new battleships after that
state.
In recognition Of the compliment 1t
is probable that the people Of West
Virginia will raise fund to present.
some suitable article to the ship. the
exact character OF which will be deter
mined hereafter.
These gifts usually take the form OF
a silver service, punch bowl or H.
brary, but there is no binding rule in
the matter.
The idea of a suitably inscribed
tablet seems TO find favor with the
West Virginlans.
La discussing the selection OF date
for the presentation it was pointed
out that the ship would not be ready
for commission inside of two years.
However, as the West Virginia Legis-
lature meets only bieDnially 1t will be
necessary for any appropriation to de-
fray the expenses Of the affair to be
made during the present session.
1t was also suggested that the great
seal of the State and the motto Of
West Virginia be impressed on the
turrets.
Secretary Long heard the commit
tee with interest and promised to con-
slider their request.
Subsequently the delegation called
at the White House TO pay their re-
speets to the President

The Board of Education at its regular
weekly meeting held in the Franklin
School Building last night. received the
first returns from the severe overhaul
ing which was recently given the his
tories now in use I'm the Washington pub
lie schools. At the last meeting a report
was submitted which set forth in detail
number of inaccuracies in the different
histories in use. At the meeting last night
Il letter from CHM & Co., of New York
publishers of "Montgomery's School His
tory OF the United States" one of the
histories criticised, was read. The pub
fishers stated that they We're obliged to
the board for pointing out the errors and
would gladly make any corrections which
We're found necessary. They further
stated that they would like to have a
conference in regard to the matter with
General Boynton.
representative Of CHM & Co. in this
CITY has called on several members of the
board in connection with the matter and
has offered on behalf of his firm to re-
place any of the Montgomery histories
which contain errors with new ones
which are correct. The Committee on
Text Books, of which Mr.. j. Holdsworth
Gordon is Chairman, asked that they be
given more time for consideration of the
request was granted The committee will
probably make a report at the next meet
ing of the board. IL is understood that
text books other than histories are now
being examined with q view to making Il
report upon any Inaccuracies which may
be found.
The public schools of the District will
be closed only on Monday of next week
Applications were received from Il UNI
Der of teachers and parents to the effect
that there be no session of school on
Tuesday. March 5, following inauguration
day. These requests were denied, mas
much as the board found no good reason
for closing the schools more than one day.
DR.. hingsman. OF the Committee on
Buildings, Repairs. and Sanitation, rec
commended that the plumbing in Small
wood, Ambush. and Randall schools be
improved. The recommendation was ap-
proved and the Improvements will be
made
Extension of leave Of absence was
granted to Miss Mary Holmes. teacher
in the Third Division and Miss s. y. Hol-
Ia nd, & teacher in the First Division.
There have recently been number Of
communications In the press of the city
relative to the danger to which school
children, playing in the streets, are ex-
posed. The idea conveyed by these com
munications has been that teachers were
not properly watchfH. and allowed their
pupils to play in the streets during re-
cesses. number of these communica-
tions have been clipped and sent to the
board without comment. Superintendent
stuart made report on the matter and
stated that the teachers took the best of
care OF children under their charge. He
stated that there are six schools on thor
oughfares where there is heavy traffic
and showed that there was record OF but
one accident ever having occurred.

f.. $. willard in His Old Success at
the National.

The step from a dainty dramatization
of great novel TO a drama of power and
pathos WAS the task set for Mr.. Willard
and his company at the New National
last evening, and which was performed In
a manner thoroughly satisfactory to the
largest audience assembled at Manager
kapley's popular house during the pres
ent week. The play was THE Middle
man which in seasons agone has been
acknowledged as Mr.. Wizards best Dill,
which popular verdict was sustained by
the assemblage of last night. Henry
Arthur Jones has written many clever
PLAYS but none which touched the heart
more tenderly than the one under discus
sion In many respects 1t Is his very best.
Coupled with this initial excellence Is the
merit of Mr. Willard in the leading char
acter, and the combination is a difficult
one to improve THE Middleman' may

WAITING ON MR.. KNOX.
Opposition to His Appointment as
Mr. Griggs' Successor.

The matter of the successor to Attor-
ney General Griggs Is said to be still in
allegiance, pending a definite statement
from Philip c. Knox. the Pittsburg at
torncy for the Carnegie interests, whether
he will or will not accept the post. II is
said to be highly probable, however. that
he will accept. Mr.. Knox is in the West,
and Is expected to come to Washington
within a short time to confer with the
President. and the positive announceme mt
of Mr.. Griggs' successor will not be made
until that time. Mr.. Griggs will not
however, leave the Cabinet for several
weeks yet. This is taken to mean that
MIR. Knox will accept the portfolio. but
desires short time in which to arrange
bis business affairs so that he can enter
the Cabinet.
While there is said to be some opposi-
ton to the appointment of Mr.. Knox be-
cause OF the fact that he is so closely
allied with the Steel Trust and other cor
porate interests, IL is not believed to be
of such n character as to prevent his con-
firmation by the Senate should he be
named. The choice of Mr.. Knox is a per-
sonal one with the President. as the two
have long been close friends AMI ini-
mately associated. The Pennsylvania
Senators have been consulted in regard
to his proposed appointment and approve
the selection.
