MEET AMERICAN COMPETITION
Englishmen Engaged in Organizing Federation Of
Employers and Employees from Which
Great Things Are Expected.

London, March 16-John Burns,
M. P. and other labor leaders are con-
ferring in regard to the feasibility of
the proposed federation of the en-
ployers' and employees unions to be

Unions, the object being ito educate
the minds of the employers and en-

trade, to divise means to meet foreign
competition, to send joint delegations
of capital and labor abroad to inquire
into the conditions of other countries
and to provide a federation whose
employers and employees may meet on
the same plane.'

IN CONGER'S OPINION
If Russo-Manchurian Treaty Is
Ratified Will Affect
Peace.

Shanghai, March 16-The North
China Gazette publishes an interview
with Edwin H. Congcr, the United
States minister at Pekin, il which he
is quoted as saying:
II will not venture to say how far
Russia is prepared to go. Tho Man
churian treaty is still unconcluded, but
if it is ratified it would certainly
affect the peace negutitions.
"Only the Germans and French are
now engaging in punitive expeditions.
The Germans are operating on the
borders of Shen-Si and the French
around Poa- Ting-Fu. I believe it is
impossible for the emperor to return
to Pekin until the allies Withdraw, or
the Chinese officials are restored to
power and free from the risk of inter-
ference by the foreign troops"
The empress dowager's return, adj
ded Mr.. Conger, depended on the ca
pacity in which she can come back.
The emperor was free to bring her.

St. Paul, March 16-President Chas.
Mellen Of the Northern Pacific left

n of Of the most important missions
for years, said to involve all the land
now owned by the Northern Pacific
west of the Missouri river. The pu1-

to be eastern capitalists, who have per-

take to encourage its settlement and
cultivation by eastern farmers, who
are TO- heading westward in the

President Mellon has always been
disposed to sell this land, as several
millions of acres have already been
disposed OF, but he never found a pur-
chaser with sufficient capital to take
the whole amount. Retirement OF the

Will VISIT ENGLAND
British Ambassador Expects to
Spend His Vacation in
London.

Washington, March 16-The British
ambassador is expecting to make a
visit home during the coming ummer
instead of spending his vacation at
some American watering place. AL
though it will be a trip largely for
recreation and for attention to politi-
cal affairs, it will afford Lord Paunce-
fote an opportunity to confer with
the officers of the new administration
of King Edward VII and to be re-
ceived by the sovereign.
There is no reason to believe that
the ambassadors presence in London
will give occasion for the discussion
of any of the pending international
questions, particularly that of the
isthmian canal, yet this and others
doubtlessly will be gone over in the
conference. with officials. Pending
his absence it is hardly expected there
will be any developments on canal
negotiations, which are more likely to
be taken up in the fall, if at all.
The German ambassador, DR.. Won
Holleben, will also go abroad for the
summer and fall. III the meantime,
Count Quadt, first secretary of the
German embassy will go to Berlin re-
turning in time to assume the duties
OF German charge d'affairs during
the absence of the ambassador.

TROUBLE IMMINENT IN AN
THRACITE REGIONS.
ALL WORK IS SUSPENDED
Men Walk Out Until Operators
Agree to Meet Execu-
tive Board.

Hazelton, Pa, March l6-By a
unanimous vote today the delegates to
the United Mine Workers convention.
which has been in session in this CITY
for nearly Il week, decided to suspend
work at all anthracite mines until the
operators agree TO meet the miners ex-
ecutive board in joint conference be-
fore April J..
A strike seems inevitable. The
operators have .steadfastly refused to
recognize the miners as a body and
there is not the remotest indication
that they will pay any attention to the
demands made by Mitchell and the
other members of the executive board
when they meet the board in joint
conference to adjust grievances.
The convention adjourned after
adopting the resolution to strike
and President Mitchell and the officers
Of three anthracite districts held a
secret conference at which plans were
discussed for the bringing about of a
meeting between operators and miners.
1t was decided that President Mitchell
and the presidents of the three dis
tricts would hold another conference
Monday at Scranton, when their plans
will be completed.
President Mitchell left for Scranton
today and will make that city his
headquarters Tor the present. In an
interview he admitted the probabili-
ty of a strike, but said he would prefer
to make no definite statement in that
respect pending negotiations: He
said, however, that the delegates were
a unit in their approval of the action
taken today.

HARD FIGHTING over
War Department Confident of Civil
Governments Success in
Philippines.

Washington, March 16-General
Macarthur will remain in command
of the Philippines until the civil gov
eminent is established. That the war
department expects the government to
be established within the next two
months is evident, as it has been deter
mined that General Chaffee will sue
coed General Macarthur as command
er of the forces now in the Philip
pines.
General Chaffee and his force in
China will sail from Taku about the
last of April. He outranks General
Macarthur and would naturally be in
command, but if the civil government
is not established in that time General
Macarthur will continue to be mill
tary governor and commander. The
war department feels very confident
that the civil government will be sue
cessfully established and tho hard
fighting and battles of the army are
practically at an end.

mail Son of Senator
Clark.

Butte, Mont, March 15-The police
officials have made public the details
OF an attempt to blackmail Charles
W. Clark, sol of Senator W. A. CLARK,
out of S., 600. Mr.. Clark several days
ago received a letter demanding that
he send the money in small bills to
"Wyoz," Butte p%ostofice. The black
mailer added significantly that he was
a dead shot.
The letter vas turned over to the
postofice authorities. The general de-
livery window was watched for sew
eral days and finally a small boy called
for a package addressed to "Wyoz."
He was arrested and questioned. He
said a masked mar had given him 25
cents to call for the package. He
proved his innocence completely. The
blackmailer is still at large.

apolis woman, who visited the place.
By chance she asked the child concern
ing her present life and the little girl
told a story about being taken away
from her home.
The Indianapolis woman took an in
terest in the case and wrote to the
authorities iii Texas for particulars.
The reason the child was kidnapped
is not known. She was taken about
the country by the actress. Four
years ago the child was taken in charge
by Mrs Brazier of Lafayette, Ind, who
was not cognizant of the fact that the
child had been abducted and a short
time afterward she was placed in the
industrial school. The police were told
that the father of the child had died
since the kidnapping. The mother and
a sister, who is a teacher in the Ell
Paso schools, live in Ell Paso.
The actress, who was known as
"Jeanette,' disappeared some years
ago.

today would not disclose, in the alb
sence of President Hill, who was de-

valuable and probably amount to $25

GERMANS ARE ANXIOUS TO

All Parties Clamor for Speedy
Termination of Existing
Conditions.

Berlin, March l6-The most strik-
ing feature during Fridays and to-
days debate in the 1eichstag was the
unanimously manifested feeling of
wearin ess oyer the China adventure.
1t was a regular chorus of "Let us get
away from China" The socialist
speakers said: "Get out at any price,
The radical left and center said: "Get
out as soon as honor permits" Even
the conservatives said as much, al
though all parties recognized the fact
that thu 1873, 900, 900 marks demanded
as a third installment of the expenses
must be voted. Indeed the free ma
ton is thoroughly tired of China;
even the government and the reigning
princes, as the toast Of the heir to the
Bavarian throne at the Munich festiv-
tiles showed, when he said: "We all

The newspapers today are full of
comment upon Count Won Buelow' s
latest u%tterances on the subject of
China and foreign politics. Nearly all
the papers touch OH the chancellor's
positive statement regarding the drei.
bund's stability and his reference to
the Anglo-G German China agreement,
but they do not refer to the latter.
There have been a number of previous
semi-ocfiial hints. 1t lis intimated,
however, that the papers regret Count
Won Bue]ow's inability to tell, even
approximately, when peace will be de-
clared.
The I.okal Anzeiger and Wossische
Zeitung consider peace and tie with
drawal Of the German troops to be
still a long way off, and to be post
pcned for a year or two. The Tage-
blatt, Deutche Tages Zeitung, Die
Post, Kreuz Zeitung and the Cologne
Volks Zeitung express the least salts
faction at the fact that Count Won
Buelow's declaration gave light on
the subject of the actual relations be-
tween China. and Germany, at least
regarding the political relations which
do not happen to be as critical as has
been generally feared. The National
Zeitung points out that the chancel-
lo1's utterances seem to show that the
financial damages to be paid by China
will be soberly and wisely arranged
by the Pekin diplomats.
The press praises Won Buelow for
his frankness. Only the Vorwaerts
dubs his speeches as Cause Ries,
(Chats).
Regarding Russia's reported protest
against further punishments of Chi
nese provincial officials outside of Pc
Chi Ii, official circles here say that
the protest could not have been d.
rected against Germany, as she has no
interest therein, but against Great
Britain anil the United States, particu-
larly the latter, many Of whose citi- ,
zens were murdered outside of Pc Chi
