SKULL PERFORATED.
Critical Operation Performed on Hugh
Ryan

Critical Operation Performed on Hugh
Ryan
Milwaukee, March 20.-Court Com
missioner Hugh Ryan submitted to an
operation at the Passavant hospital
yesterday. The patient is resting COM
fortably, and the present indications
are that the operation will prove en-
tirely successful. Drs. ZIMMERMAN
and Hitz were compelled to perforate
the skull at it's base behind the right
ear, in order to provide vent for an
infiltration of the middle ear which
had proceeded to such an extent as to
threaten the brain. While such an
operation is not in itself a difficult or
serious procedure, it is not always pos
sible to predict whether in given
case it will bring complete relief. No
doubt seems to be entertained as to
the issue in this instance, however.

hand to his right thigh and exclaimed
Il am wounded" He WAS carried to
side track where the surgeons probed
and dressed the wound. Count Boni
approached the wounded man and
asked M. de Roday's, care you in
pain?" Not too mucn," was the reply.
Count Boni then stretched out his
hand which M. de Rodays accepted.
Count Boni and his party then drove
home and M. de Rodays was removed
to his residence. The surgeon hopes
to extract the bullet in two or three
days. The entire absence of fever,
though the suffering of the wounded
man is intense, leads to the belief he
will be well again in week. At a
late hour Count Boni sent his secre-
tary to inquire as to the condition of
NJ. de Rodays. The messenger was
informed the wounded mans condi-
ton was satisfactory.

FEAR AMERICAN STEEL TRUST
John Burns and Others Organizing
New British Federation.

John Burns and Others Organizing
New British Federation.
London, March 17.-John Burns and
Thomas Burt, members of Parlia-
ment and other labor leaders are con-
ferring in regard to the feasibility of
the proposed federation of employees
and employers, the objects being to
educate the minds of employers and
employees concerning the grave re-
sponsibilities which rest with them
in respect to the expansion of British
trade and to devise means to meet
foreign competition, to send joint de-
putations of capital and labor abroad
to inquire into conditions of other
countries and provide a federation
wherein employers and employees may
meet on the same plane" {.
The preliminary work is being
chiefly confined to the iron and steel
trades, which through fears of the
inroads of the American steel trust
seem particularly anxious for some
organization which will present a
united front.

READY FOR STRIKE
PENNSYLVANIA MINERS INSIST
ON TERMS.
WANT MORE CONCESSIONS
Operators Must Make Them Or
.Tieup Will Follow April claims
That Owners Have Persistently
Ignored Advances of UnionVPres-
ident Mitchell Talks.

Hazelton, Pa, March 1.-THE
United Mine Workers convention ad-
journed yesterday afternoon after IN
structing the national executive board
to negotiate for another joint confer
ence with the operators, failing to Sc
cure which the board has authority TO
declare a general strike in the anthra-
cite fields. The strike, if no confer
ence is held, probably will be ordered
to go into effect April 1. The time
may be changed by the board if it
deems fit.
1t has not yet been determined
whether the national board, when
called to negotiate for another con-
ference, will meet at Hazelton or else
where.
A motion was made and unani-
mously agreed to, that all anthracite
miners would respond to a call for a
suspension of work should the execu.
tive officers fail to arrange a joint con-
ference with the operators. It was
agreed that if the operators ignored
the overtures of their employees, and
forced the miners to engage in a
strike, the officials of the organiza-
ton were empowered to request all
men employed in or about mines,
strippings and collieries to cease
work.
After the convention adjourned
President Mitchell and officers of the
three anthracite districts held secret
conference at which plans were dis
cussed for bringing about the desired
meeting between the operators ana
miners. Another conference will be
held tomorrow at Scranton when
plans will be completed. In an inter
view Mitchell admitted the probability
of strike. but said he would prefer
to make no definite statement in that
respect pending negotiations. He
said, however, the delegates were a
unit in their approval of the action
taken. The most important demands
which miners would make. it is said,
| is a recognition of their union, which
was not insisted upon during the
strike last year, and uniform wage
scale. In order to bring about the lat
ter condition a slight advance. it is
understood, will be asked for by men
in the Lehigh, Schuylkill and Wyom
ing regions. Considerable bitterness
has been engendered among delegates
by the refusal of officers to confer
with them and many claim that last
years Scranton agreement has been
violatede Dy the employers.

Berlin, March 1.-THE reichstag
yesterday passed to second reading
the supplementary estimates for the
una expedition amounting TO I1o,-
$4,000 marks. During the course OF
the debate the minister of war, Gen.
Won Gossler said Count Won Walder-
see commanded about $4,000 men, in
Guiding 1880 Germans, 14,O5O French,
1880 British, 5000 Russians, 5000
Japanese, 1850 Italians, 1900 Ameri-
cans and ESQ Austrians. Brigandage
in China, he added, was considerably
decreased in consequence of the in
tervention of foreign troops. Peace
able populations are treated with
leniency, but marauders and, boxers
are vigorously suppressed.
Herr Richter, radical leader, OBJ
jected to Great Britain being made
quately represented by troops in
China while she had the greatest in
terests in that country. Gen. Won
Einem replied that the British had re-
serves at Hongkong and could also
draw on India.
The most striking feature during
Fridays and yesterdays debate in the
reichstag was the unanimously mani
tested feeling of WEAKNESS over the
China, adventure" It was regular
chorus of ''let us get out Of China. !"
Socialist speakers said "get out at any
price," The radical leftists and CEN
trists said 'sget out as soon as honor
permits" Even the conservatives said
as much, though all parties recognized
the fact that 123,OO0,O0O marks de-
manded as a third installment of ex-
penseS must be voted. Indeed the en-
tire nation is thoroughly tired of
China. The papers regret Count Won
Buelow's inability to tell, even approx
lmately, when peace will be declared.
The Loka1 AnZeiger and Vossicshe
Zeltung consider peace and the with
drawal of the, German troops to be
still long ways off and to be post
poned for a year or two. Last weeks
relchstag doings were interesting.

again that the German colonies have
hitherto been unenviable property.

decreasing trade with Germany, cs-

only 100000 marks in 1899, although
the empire pays 1000, 900. marks for
it's administration, partly for quelling
constant uprisings. The Kameroons
territory alone seems to more than
cover expenses.
There is movement on foot among
German women to issue gigantic
protest against the threatened in
crease in agricultural duties as render
ing the necessaries of life much
higher and especially for the poorer
classes which comprise 81 per cent.

POWER FOR CAR LINE.
Deal at Appleton of Large Posi-
biIities.

biIities.
Appleton, Wis, March 20.-A big
waterpower deal by which the Fox
River Valley Interurban Railway COM
pany will lease from the Green Bay
and Mississippi Canal company, the
Kimberly 6 Clark waterpower known
as the Atlas site, has been partially
negotiated at an informal meeting OF
the directors of both of the companies.
The deal involves many thousands of
dollars in rentals, besides the building
of an immense power house by the
railway company.
The interurban railway stock is
owned by Messrs. Pister, Payne and
Beggs of Milwaukee. and the pro
posed installation of waterpower is
taken to indicate that the electric line
will undoubtedly be extended to Kau-
kauna, and in time probably through
the entire Fox River valley. ~

Hay had a long conference yesterday

of the city comptroller, by members of
the accounting firm of Haskins & Sells,

leaving a shortage of something like
half a million dollars. President John
