WOUE'N AS BRIGANDS.
NOT UNCOMMON IN TURKEY FOR WOMEN
IN MEMS ATTIRE TO TAKE
TO THE ROAD.

In Bulgaria Macedonia and Albania 1t Is no un-
common thing for women dressed in mems attire
to take to the road brigands The wives of the
haidouts. the brgands of Bulgaria are called
often accompany their husbands to the mountains,
faring like the rest of the outlaws and frequently
sharing their fate. After few years. should they
escape capture or death, the haidout women return
to their homes. and many settle down to domestic
life This trait is indeed the subject of the poets
songs and is celebrated in such poems as the fol-
lowing popular Bulgarian folklore song. "Penka' S
Adieu to Her Brigands:
Penka, treasure of thy mother.
Though but thy stepmOther am l.
Yet I'd give to thee good counsel
When thou leadest the procession.
Bow thysef before thy sponsors
And salute thy husbands parents;
Bow before his youngest brother;
See that thou thine eyelids raise not,
Lest the Svatohi+ imagine
Thou has walked the hills a brigand.
To her mother answered Penka:
Z Of thee would ask favor,
That he give to me a tocher
Give me, too. my pair of pistols,
Ny own sabre. bright, Frank-fashioned
And my good long barrelled rife.
once again as man Ia wander,
once more to the hills I'd HE me;
Meath each tree there stands hero
And a standard in each valley.
Scarce had Penka finished speaking.
And her bright. sharp sword, Frank-fashoned
To the stable dark she hastened;
Straight led the well fed courser;
on his back she grthed the saddle
Penka to the hills betook her.
To the mountains of the hrigands.
Bearing presents to the heroes;
To each she gives kerChief
Folded round a golden sequin,
To remind her ancient comrades
OF the day when Penka welded.

CALLED ON MORGAN
MINERS FRIENDS CONFER WITH

TO PREVENT COAL STRIKE.
MIR. MORGAN DOES NOT ANTICIPATE
A STRIKE.

He Talked Very Pleasantly with
Father Phillips and His Commit
tee of Business Men-Is willing to
Make Personal Effort to Prevent
Strike but Not to Meet Labor Lead
ers-DOes Not Care for the Public
fty of a Public Conference.
New York, March PA delegation
composed of five men representing trade
interests in the Pennsylvania anthracite
coal regions, with Rev. Edward s. Phil
fps acting as chairman, held a confer
ence to-day with ]. Pierpont Morgan in
the private office Of Mr. Morgan in this
city. The conditions of unrest in the
anthracite coal region at present were set
forth in the briefest possible form by
Father Phillips, who presented the dele
cation to Mr.. Morgan, and to whom Mr..
Morgan expressed his interest in their
errand and his willingness to make per-
sonal effort to prevent strike, though
he declined to hold a public conference
with the labor leaders.
The delegation which met Mr.. Morgan
to-day comprised Rev. E. S. Phillips,
from Hazleton; Edward Lauderbach, the
treasurer, and A. T. McAlster, the sec
rotary of the Hazleton Board of Trade;
j. II. Zerby, president, and L. w. Mar
quardt, chairman of the manufacturers
committee of the Pottsville Board of
Trade. Arrangements for this meeting
We're made last week by the ofhcials or

Phillips as chairman. The conference last
ed less than half an hour. Father Phil
lips made a brief presentation, saying that
the delegation were there merely to try
to bring about some action that would
prevent a strike; that they were ready to
act as an intermediary body or to be
used in any way that would compose any
differences existing.
Father Phillips asked Mr.. Morgan IL he
would meet John Mitchell, president of
the United Mine Workers Association,
who has been in New York for several
days. Mr.. Morgan in reply, said in sub
stance, that his attitude up to the pres
ent has been towards the prevention of
a strike He said he was much interest
ed in the mission of the delegation, and
he assured them that they could rely
upon him to do all within his power to
prevent any action that would paralyze
he was disinclined to hold a public con-
ference with the labor leaders, indicating
as a reason for this attitude the belief
that should public meeting between him
self and the labor leaders be held, the
publicity thereof and possibly attendant
conclusion might hamper the achieve
ments of the best ends which ala were
seeking. In other words, as Mr.. Nor
gan remarked should he hold a public
co. hale 49, Vnr
would be upon his heels"
Mr.. Morgan added that the ends sought
could best be achieved through other
channels and he assured the delegation
that he might communicate with the
boards of trade later
You may rest assured that 1 believe
that there will be no strike" remarked
Mr. Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan shook hands with the dele
cation and they departed. Mr.. Morgan,
after the conference declined to make
any statement relative thereto.

In Russia.
New York, March 27.-Fully 5000 people
were crowded into the new Irving Hall
tonight at a mass meeting of Russian
sympathzers. The object Of the meeting
was to discuss the recent political demon
STATIONS in St. Petersburg
Vladimir Stalechnikoff presided at the
meeting. He is a Russian nobleman, now
an architect by profession, who was
prominently connected with the Nihilist
movement in that country and who fed
some years ago in order to save himself
from being transported to Siberia.
Fully one-third of the audience tonight
were women, and they were as enthusiasts
tic in their applause as the men. and all
of the addresses were enthusiastically
received. The chairman, in his opening
that he and his colleagues are opposed to
violence.
But what can we do when our friends
and relatives are thrown into Jail, driven
into insanity or suicide, or drafted into
the army, or hustled off to Siberia be-
cause we ask for better conditions or
higher wages?
I'VE are opposed to violence" he said
but there are times when violence is
necessary. The same people who assas-
sinated Nicholas 1 sent letters OF sympa-
thy to this country and universally con-
demned the act when Garfield was killed
by Guiteau. because the conditions in this
country did not warrant such an ac-
ton
The principal address of the evening
was given-in English, by Abraham Ca
han, and his speech, by a vote, was
adopted as the sentiment of the meet
ing. He said in part:
1T is not the Gar, but Czarism. It Is
not the throne, but the system. This
system is personified in those who make
a catspaw OF Nicholas II, for If there is
one man in the empire who is not the
master of Russia, ii is the Gar The
system of which Nicholas is the figure
head is embodied in Poboydonostseff The
Russian government is a government of
the twelfth century, while the European
culture of to-day is the culture of the
twentieth.
Russia is made up OF people who have
the same hopes and aspirations as those
of other countries, and the discrepancy
between the mental and spiritual status
OF the people and the political regime is
at the bottom of the situation.
But the American spirit of 1776 is be-
ing revived there The educated ma sQas
are painting for breath, and the working
people want the right to struggle for the
improvement of their lot. Hence the bond
between the two"

NO SENATOR'S ron NEBRASKA.
To-day Is Legislatures Last Session
and Republicans Are still I'm
able to Agree.

aDle 10 ABTees
Lincoln, Neb., March 27.-An unavailing
conference of Republicans of the Legis-
lature and of an equally futile effort to
hold a caucus under a new call, marked
the closing struggle in the Nebraska SEN
atorial canvass. Indications at midnight
are that the deadlock will outlast the
session, the last legislative day of which
will be tomorrow, and that Nebraska for
two years. will be unrepresented in the
upper house of Congress, barring, of
course, the possibility of an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, which is remote,
or appointments by the Governor, who
thus far, in advance of final adjourn
ment, has given no positive intimation OF
what he will do.
The day and night have been marked
by vain appeals to the ten Republicans
who are holding out against D. E Thomp-
son to cease their opposition and enter
the caucus or give him their votes In
joint convention. Counter propositions
come from the anti-Thompson men to the
r-ajority members to abandon Thompson
and take up any other two Republicans
in the state, but it was likewise without
result These propositions failing so far
the short term vacancy is concerned,
attention was directed toward solving the
North Platte riddle, but II has proved
even more complicated.
At s o'clock, under a call for a confer
ence on the long term, IS members as
sembled in the Senate chamber to dis
cuss the situation on the long term. With
out making progress in any way the
conference adjourned, the members going
to the Lindell Hotel, where the old eau
Gus for the long term again assembled.
Balloting, with practically no change
from previous nights. continued until
o'clock this Thursday morning, when
adjournment was taken until 5 o'clock

and from New York and Washington, was
being brought to bear to induce some of
the candidates to withdraw, but thus far

GENESSEE VALLEY AFLOAT.
All New Yorlk's Rivers OVERLOOKING
Their Banks and Much Damage
nnnR


New York, March N.-From many parts
of the state came news to-day and to-
night of damage by flood. The waters of
rivers and the smaller tributary streams
are reported as overlooking their banks,
causing widespread foundations which
threaten to destroy much property, if not
bringing about loss of life before they be-
gin to subslde.
Up to midnight the only accident in
which any one was injured was that due
to the washing out of a culvert near Nor
witch and the ditching OF Delaware and
Lackawanna train. In the accident three
people were slightly hurt.
The rush of water which is swelling
the streams is due to heavy rains and
the consequent melting of the snow,
which has lain for months and been
deeper than usual in the central northern
and western portions of the state. The
water flowing from the snow-covered Adj
rondaeks, is higher than at any time in
almost forty years.
The Genessee valley is afloat in many
places, the Genessee and it's tributaries
not having been so full for five years. A
rise of fifteen inches in twelve hours is
an indication of the rapid rate at which
the water is flowing into Rochester ana
its adjacent villages. Much railroad
property is already under water.
