Berlin. March 2S.-A resolution of the Budget

Count Won Bdlow. in his capacity as Prussian
Premier. promised that the bill should he laid
before the Bundesrath Immediately after the
government departments concerned had con-
cluded their work. The council would certainly
dispose of the measure eXpedtiously as pos

CALLERS on SECRETARY HAY.
COUNT CAssINI SAYS THE MANCHURIAN
AGREEMENT is ONLY MODUS VIvENDI.

AGREEMENT is ONLY a MODUS VIVENDI.
Washington, March 2S-The Russian Ambas-
sador, Count Cassini. had an extended confer
ence with Secretary Hay to-day. The ambas-
sador was without information to what had
been done TO the Manchurian agreement AL
though the general question of China was gone
over. yet the chief purpose Of the visit was to
clear up the reports that Russia had been in
strumental in the removal of Mr. Brown Count
Cassini's visit resulted in the fullest assurance
that the affair not one in which Russia had
been concerned, and that it was purely matter
OF the domestic affairs of Corea, which the
Corean officials had carried out according TO
their own desires.
In the course OF the interview there was a fur
ther reference to Russia's purpose in Manchuria
This was precisely the same lines as the am
bassador had before laid down, but with more
particulars. For instance, it was made to appear
that this particular agreement between Russia
and China is really nothing more than a rnodus
according to the Russian contention. The pur-
pose is, according to that contention, to restore
law and order under Chinese authority in Man
churia and provide for the gradual withdrawal
of the Russian troops
Secretary Hays callers to-day also included
Lord PauncefOte and the German Ambassador
and the japanese Minister, all of whom were
concerned in the status OF the Chinese affairs
and particularly the final outcome of the Man
churian question. Little definite additional in
formation developed.

Wilkeshane Penn. March oS (SpeciaD-It is
the belief here that there will be strike OF
the miners of the anthracite region before Janu-

terest it is understood, has guaranteed to Presi-
dent Mitchell and the other members OF the
Executive Board of the United Mine Workers
that their organization will be recognized, and
a conference held about the first OF the
new year. In return for this Mitchell and his
associates pledged their Endorsement to meas
ures tending TO prevent petty strikes. which
have up to this time proved severe drain on
the profits of the different coal companies and
drawback 20 the labor leaders demands for
recognition.
That John Mitchell and the members of the
Executive Board met and conferred with j.
Pierpont Morgan is only denied by those not con-
versant with the real situation. The secret con-
ference lasted three hours. and in that time
every phase of the situation gone over. Mr..
Morgan impressed the labor leaders the ne
cessity OF a demonstration OF their ability to
control the men. and offered them the following
proposition:
That the United Mine Workers in the anthra-
of the organization, but if such is established
and an earnest effort is made TO prevent the
many petty strikes. all objections TO the meeting
of miners and operators to agree upon a wage
scale will be removed January 1. 1902.
President Mitchell informed the representatives
of the Morgan interests that the proposition
would be submitted to the executive board
which meets in this city tomorrow to take final
action. He seemed pleased with the outcome OF
the meeting, and, il may be stated, Will use all
efforts to pass a resolution favOring suspen-
sion of the impending trouble for year

COLOMBIA WILL
keep ISTHMUS OPEN.
DR.. Silva Gives Secy. Hay That Assurance
United States Will Execute Its Au.
thority When Occasion Arises.

Washington, Aug. l9.-The Colombian
minister, DR.. silva, had conference
today with secy. Hay. 1t was the first
personal exchange between the secre-
tary and the representative Of Colom-
bia since the present disturbance start
ed Dr.. Silva gave Mr.. Hay informa-
ton 10 the effect that traffic on the
isthmus was entirely unobstructed and
also assured him Of the ability OF Col
ombia TO keep the traffic open.
The minister's communication to
Secy. Hay did not take any formal or
written shape, but was an informal dis
cusslon Of the situation based on the
minister's latest adyices. He informed
the secretary that a cable dispatch
from Bogota, sent last Thursday, stat.
ed that traffic across the isthmus was
entirely unobstructed as a result Of The
efforts OF the Colombian authorities. He
also expressed the fullest confidence
that Columbia was able 10 maintain
free traffic across the isthmus. So far
as the United States government is
Aoncerned there has been no purpose to
exert any military force in keeping
open isthmian traffic Unless II became
perfectly plain that Colombia was IN
able to do SO. This view was doubtless
made known to DR.. silva, although the
nature of the exchange is known only
In The most general way.
The assurances given by DR.. Silva
make clear certain features OF the sit
