THOSE PENSIONS
Proposition Of Police Associa-
ton Not Meeting With Favor

There will probably be some delay in
submitting teh question OF the establish
nIent of police pension fund TO the city
council. a. the committee is not In a
position 10 be ready by Monday even
inc next. as was originally expected.
The committee met yesterday afternoon
nd at the same time the joint committee
on police of the city council was in ses-
sion. The latter body met to prepare a
report of the estimates for the mainten-
snce OF the department for the fiscal year
ending September, 1902
incidentally the police pension bill was
brought up and at the close OF the meet
ing 1t was very apparent that the propo-
sition of the committee of the Police As
SC cciation was not regarded in favorable
llghl.
" was stated by one of the members OF
the committee of the Police Association
yesterday that the men who will be re-
tired under the 50 years OF service rule
within the next two or three years will
not participate in the pension fund. There
are at least four men who will have at
taIneo the age OF 60 years within the nn~t
H. months or thereabouts
The plan contemplated by the men VINO
ar" endeavoring to bring about the cstab-
lishment OF a pension fund IL not 20 pei-
sio, any officer until $4,000 or $780, 10 has
been accumulated.
After the meeting OF the police com
m;ttee, at which nearly all the members
were present. IL was stated that the COM
mittes OF the association had presented
no plans that could be taken up for con-
sideration, and the only request made so
far was that application he made to the
General Assembly for authority TO turn
over certain fees which now go into the
| city treasury TO the pension fund.

BRITISH MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Many Thousand Men May Quit Work
Unless Coal FAX lie withdrawn.

Many Thousand Men May Quit Work
Unless Coal Fax he withdrawn.
London. May 1-At meeting of the
miners federation held in London this
morning and attended by delegates from
all parts of the United Kingdom. it was
unless the coal tax be withdrawn. Anoth-
er meeting was summoned for May Z, to
finally decide the matter and to fix a date
for the stoppage of work should that
step be resolved upon.
1t is understood that the recommended
tion of the miners federation will be
submitted to the miners forthwith, and
that in the event of the men approving
some 10000 miners will lay down their
tools when the signal is given.
Whether or not the miners will actual
ly strike depends largely on the trend
of the discussion of the coal tax resolu-
ton which comes up in the House of
Commons tomorrow. Although it is gem
orally supposed the coal owners have
been backing the miners with the object
of bringing pressure ON the government
to modify the coal taxation project, there
are signs of a division of opinion since
the federation reached it's decision and
some of the influential owners, especially
those not exporting coal, are counseing
prudence. The miners reason for advo-
eating strike appears to be based on
fear that the owners will recoup them
selves for the tax by an equivalent re-
duction in wages.

VENEZUELA TROUBLE sMooTHED.
Arrest of Ignacio Batz sntisfactorI-
~ Explained.

Washington, May 1.-The State Depart
ment has received from the government
OF Venezuela a satisfactory explanation
of the circumstances under which Igna-
clio Baiz, United States consular agent
at Barcelona, came to be arrested and
mulcted of heavy fine. While no de-
tails are furnished 1t IS stated that the
action OF the Venezuelan government IN
the matter is all that could be desired.
and that Baiz who has recovered or will
recover the money extorted from him.
will not be further molested.
The State Departments Information rel
atve to the legal proceedings in Vene-
zuela I'm connection with the asphalt con-
troversy indicates that II will be many
months before the issue will come TO trial
in the Venezuelan high court. As there
Is no disposition exhibited to dispossess
the American concessionaires who are in
possession, pending the termination of the
legal proceedings, the State Department
Is entirely satisfied with the
maintenance Of the status quo
as to this case. There are
however, other issues which may change
the aspect of American affairs IN Ven
ezuela. An attorney named King rep
resenting some OF the interests connected
with what Is known as the Orinoco Fari-
bault concession. had laid before the
State Department complaints OF arbitrary
actions on the part of the Venezuelan
government, and the department has noti-
fled that government that II expects just
treatment at its hands for American cit
liens and interests.

CONTROL OF UNION PACIFIC.
Gould, Vanderbilt and Hartman Are
All Interested.

New York May 1.-The Mail and Ex-
press says:
1T was learned from official sources to-
day that William X. Vanderbilt is large
holder of Union Paelfc stock pnd that he
acquired his holdings after reaching a
full Understanding with f. II. Hartman.
Those N a position to know assert that
Mr.. imam was placed at the head
Of the road at the instance of Mr.. Van
derbilt. although others declare that Mr..
Hartman Is the joint choice of Messrs.
w. X. Vanderbilt George j. Gould and
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
There is good ground for believing that
George j. Gould, as president OF the
Missouri Pacific, and leading director
in the Union Pacific. has been a heavy
buyer of the latter stock, and that by
means OF his large private holdings of
stock. which may later be turned over
to the Missouri Pacific. the latter road
will, jointly with the Northwestern and
possibly st. Paul, control Union Pacific"

Have Plenty of Funds and Would
Welcome n Holiday

London, May 1.-Reports from the min
ing districts indicate that majority of
the miners are in favor of strike. They
have had two years of prosperity and she
funds of their unions are overf1owing.
Therefore they are likely to welcome a
holiday. The whole country condemns the
strike, which will tend to disorganize all
the industries and, as the people have
little sympathy with the coal trade, which
during the last twelve months has reap
ed huge profits at the expense of the
community, the only effect of the strike
is likely to be to draw the support of the
country toward the government. This
feeling is so strong that it is believed in
many quarters that the federation is only
''bluffing"
The prospect of a strike has spread dis
may among the mill and foundry owners
in Lancashire. as there are no stock in
hand at the collieries.
