STRIKE AT PORTLAND MINE
SETTLED AND WORK RESUMED

( the English investors want more Grip.
pie Greek mines, and the Portland
would be their first choice could the
present owners be induced to par.
with II.
The resumption Of operations at the
mine will have a stimulating effect on
the district, and will be beneficial in
many ways. The fear of general
strike involving protracted labor
struggles is removed and probably
will not arise for long time.
At a meeting of the unions held in
Altman Sunday night a proposition
was made which was taken to the
Portland officials at Colorado Springs
yesterday by committee of business
men. The Portland directors held a
meeting and the proposition of the
miners was accepted without delay.
Neither the union nor the Portland
people will give out the terms of set
tlement, but they are said to be the
same as those laid down by Mr.. Burns
and published in several papers Satur-
day morning.
These are: No compulsory insur-
ance; the mine to collect union dues
and secretaries Of the unions to refrain
|
iness, and no discrimination against
the union in employing miners AZ the
Portland. So far as can be learned,
nothing was done In relation to ma.
chine men or firemens wages.
When the news of the settlement
reached Victor to-day 500 or 600 for
mer employees of the Portland went to
the mine to apply for their old places,

IN MANCHURLA TO STAY
BRITISH AND RUSSIAN COMMENT ON
THE EASTERN CRISIS.

London, April 6.-Russia's attitude toward
Manchurla, as outlined yesterday bv the "Of1
claI Messenger OF st. Petersburg is interpreted
iiiiost unanimously by the British press as
Oaldole OF being condensed into single SEN
uehce, J'y suis; ty reste'' ('I am here; I remain
mere D. and there is no disposition to believe
that the matter is thus ended
The Standard" which throughout has taken
moderate stand, declares that if Russia goes
oack on her promise given as to the integrity
VI Chlna- and proceeds to assume in Manchuria
IN act the authority denied her by formal stipu
latlon, she will have to confront not only the
protest. but the armed might of the energetic
nation which, under the rule of the Mikado is
CONSCIOUS OF its strength to aid the greatness of
lts destinies. Japan. the newspaper adds will
nave the sympathy and support of nearly all
the powers interested in the Far East
The Daily Chronicle makes similar COM
ments. interpreting Russia's policy and says
that Of the powers which really count Japan is
the only one which is at all likely to back her
protest with force.
The Daily News maintains that Russias
policy is as clear daylight, and simply means
no shred Of independence for Manchuria. The
newspaper continues:
Russia has firm friend and ally in the United
States. The American Government lost no time
in publishing the plausible pacific assurance
received by Secretary Hay from Count Cassini,
the Russian Ambassador at Washington but
the United States has long been anxious to get
out OF the Chinese imbroglio altogether.
st. Petersburg. April 6-The newspapers here
aver that the foreign powers and not Russia
responsible for the continued occupation of Man
churia- The ''Viedomostt'' says 1t is quite i'm
possible for Russia to withdraw without some
guarantee that order will be preserved her
frontiers adding:
Russia does not intend to be left in the Far
East at the disadvantage she was placed under
in the Near East twenty-three years ago.
The "Rossiya' maintains that Russia tried
arrange plans for the withdrawal of her troops,
and that this thwarted by nearly the whole
Of Europe, and she must continue in the ''un-
pleasant position OF the occuper Of Manchuria."
The apopleptic Illness of Yang Yu. Chinese
Minister TO Russia, after his recent interview
with Count Lamsdorff, the Russian Foreign
Minister. will probably make necessary his
withdrawal from the post. Negotiations with
China at St Petersburg have ceased since his

RUSSIA'S GOOD FAITH NOT DOUBTED.
ASSURANCES GRATIFYING TO THE PRESI-


Washington April 6.-The determination of
the Russian Government not to press to a con-
clusion the negotiations begun time ago
with the Chinese Government in regard 10 Man
churia has naturally given great qualification
to the government of the United States The
President is understood to recognize in this act
Of the Car another proof Of his sincere regard
for the harmony Of the powers engaged in
negotiations IN China and his determination TO
do nothing to impede the speedy and satisfactory
conclusion Of these negotiations In his view.
II is act worthy of the enlightened sovereign
who initiated the conference at The Hague The
government Of the United States Is especially
gratifed by this termination Of the late compl-
cation, as It has constantly been in harmony
with that of Russia in all the main points OF
policy IN China. The belief is generally enter
tained in government and diplomatic circles in
Washington that motive be assigned for
this resolution Of the Car except the desire to
preserve the concert of the powers. as It
clearly within the discretion OF Russia to pursue
whatever course that government thought best
for it's interests and ii may be said with abso-
Lutte certainty that nothing in the way OF pres
sure of combination has been put on the Rus
sian Government to induce this result 1t is
true that the government Of the United States
March l made known its views Of the matter
and communicated them with entire frankness
to all the powers interested. but joint repre-
sentation, il may safely be asserted. has ever
been made to Russia China
The Japanese Minister Mr.. Takahira has re-
ceived word from his government since the
latest Russian declaration communicated to
Japan. The Minister says it is probable that the
London dispatch as to the Warlike attitude Of
Japan sent out before the Russian declara-
tion had been received by the japanese Gov
ernment. The dispatch alluded to said that the
japanese Government had decided that Russia's
reply concerning Manchuria was unsatisfactorv
and that peremptory remonstrance amount
ing practically to ultimatum, would be de-
iVerei to Russia This appeared to refer to
Russia's latest declaration But on examina-
tion it IS clear that ii could not have referred
TO the latest Russian declaration, this was
not sent to the powers until Thursday night
after the warlike dispatch sent out from
Japan. This leaves open the question of Japan's
policy the case presented by Russia
and removes the impression that Japan has per
emptorily rejected the Russian statement

CHOIR BOYS BATTLE WITH EGGS.

CHURCHYARD THE SCENE OF THE ENCOUNTER
IN WHICH UNoFFENDING WOMEN SUFFER
Princeton. n. j.. April (SpeciaD--A battle royal
raging among the choir boys OF the Trinity Episco-
pal Church this week shows that feelings inappro-
pirate to the season exist in that body For mis-
siles IN the fight the boys chose eggs The trouble
was due 10 the expulsion of two boys for rniscou-
duct. These two secured plenty of eggs and
sympathetic crowd. and Thursday deployed in
the churchyard during the choir rehearsal The
choir boys had come to rehearsal with an abundant
supply or like missiles At the close of the
hearsal the churchyard soon the scene OF
spirited battle. Several of the of the choir
unknowingly walked into the line OF fire. and hats
and gowns suffered seriously. One soprano will
wear black eye to the service tomorrow
The church authorities interceded for time 10
hush the matter up. but the rector has lodged a
complaint with Mayor Updike and the boys will be
tried for disorderly conduct. This is the first
time the boys have misbehaved, and on former oc-
casions church property has suffered. The church
authorities say they believe the wildness the
boys is due largely to the example of lawlessness
set by the college students
