ANXIETY OVER DUTCH QUEEN.
Bulletin This Morning, Howeve,
Slightly More Reassuring.

THE HAGUE, May "a bulletin issued
a Castle Loo this morning is as follows:
AS has been feared the illness from
which Queen Wilhelmina is suffering put
an end, yesterday evening, to the hopes for
a happy event, the realization whereof was
expected in September next.
All things considered, her maJesty's con-
dtion is satisfactory al the present mo-
ment.
The more reassuring tone of this morn
ing's official bulletin did little to allay the
apprehensions of the public regarding the
condition of the queen. The streets are
dotted with respondent groups of people,
anxiously discussing the exceedingly Scant
information permitted to leak out. The Of
fees of the official newspapers were be-
sieged with inquirers and surrounded by
people awaiting bulletins. kilograms of in
ouiry arrived from all parts of the world.
All the foreign diplomatists either person
ally called for news or sent their secreta-
ries to mahe inquiries about her majesty 5
health
A bulletin posted at Castle Loo at . pm
today announced that the condition of
Queen Wilhelmina was satisfactory up to
the present time.
1t transpires that the first disquieting
sl mptonns in the queens condition mani
tested themselves during Saturday evening.
~
accoucheur who remained at her majes-
tvs bedside all night long and summoned
DIR. Roessings and Professor Konwer, the
gynecolOgist of Utrecht University, who ar
rived at Castle Loo yesterday afternoon.
The symptoms of complications became
more and more pronounced, and the cond-
tion of the queen was considered extremely
grave. The queen mother and the prince
consort did not dare leave the bedside. To-
ward nightfall the patient became worse
and suffered intense pain The most criti-
cal time was reached between 1870 and
II pm. and there was no relaxation to
the extreme suspense of all present in the
sick room until the doctors, at about mid
night were able to announce that the ac-
ccuchment was over.
This mornings statement that. in spite
of great pain, her majesty's condition was
relatively satisfactory, considerably lessen
ed the anxiety of the queens relatives and
attendants. This feeling of relief was in
creased by the departure of Professor kon-
wer from the castle and the wording of this

sfoner Hermann CT the general land Office
decided by the United States Supreme
Court today, the opinion being delivered by

Interior Department from selling the land
included in sections 16 and :i6 in the old
Red Lake Indian reservation, the state
claiming those lands under the grant for
school purposes The decision was against

the property of the Indians they are en-
titled to the proceeds of the sale of them.

ion of the Supreme Court in the case OF the
of Connecticut, involving the state law for

and the case was remanded to the circuit
court of appeals for the third circuit for
further proceedings in accordance with the
directions given by today's opinion. The
chief justice and Justices Harlan, Brewer
and White united in a dissenting opinion
which was delivered by Justice White. The
case was important one to the parties
at interest, but turned entirely upon tech
nicalties pertaining to the patent law.
The court dismissed for want of jurisdic
ton the proceeding of the New Orleans

MR.. HANNA FEARS A STRIKE.
Situation in the Coal Region is Very
Critical

PHILADELPHIA; May. 5.-Senator Ham
ma, who had been the guest of Clement A.
Griscom at the latters country seat in
Haverford, 4 suburb. since Saturday, left
for Washington at 1920 o'clock today over
the Pennsylvania railroad. Senator Hanna
was in conference with A. j. Cassatt, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany, for more than an hour previous to
his departure.
When asked for an expression of opin-
ion concerning the situation in the anthra-
cite coal region the senator said:
II can add nothing pertinent to what
have already said. The situation, as is ap-
parent to everyone, is very grave. It
would not i think, be wise to discuss the
matter now
Efforts to adjust the troubles of the min
ers were referred to the concliation COM
mttee. comprising members from the min
ers and operators. They failed to reach an
understanding.
The matter now goes to board of
twonty-eight men. representing the anthra-
cite workers, who will meet in Scranton
next Wednesday, They have absolute
power to deal with the situation. and the
Indications are that a strike will be or
dered.
If strike is ordered 147 900 anthracite
coal workers will be affected. More than
100000 bituminous coal workers may be
involved.

DIsBURsING CLERK BARRoWs.
Examination of His Accounts by
Treasury Experts Concluded

The examination into the accounts of H.
A. Barrows, who has been suspended from
the office of disbursing clerk in the census
bureau, concluded today and the eX-
perts from the office of the controller of the
treasury have returned to the Treasury
Department. 1t is expected the board of
experts will now prepare its report to the
controller and that a copy of it may reach
Director Merriam of the census bureau
some time about Wednesday.
Nothing is known Of the conclusions to
which the experts have come or of the
method by which Mr.. Barrows is said to
have ''doctored" his books. The treasury
officers have been directed, they say, not
to discuss the matter and the officials OF
the census bureau abruptly refuse to do so.
The office of the disbursing clerk is now
under the control of Appointment Clerk
Langley who is officially designated Act
ing DiSbursing Clerk.
a movement for the relief Of Mr. Burrows
family has been started in the census bu-
reau and considerable sum collected.
Most of his associates subscribe without
hesitation on the ground that Mr.. Barrows
was one of the most conslderate and cour-
teous officials in the entire civil service
and that his present misfortune should not
bear any more heavily than necessary upon
him and his family. The total is variously
estimated at from $500 to $1,000. Mr.. Bar
rows remains at his home in Berwyn, Nd,
and refuses to discuss the matter.
All action looking to the reimbursement
of the surety companies which bonded Mr..
BarrOwS and to the possible punishment
of the suspended disbursing clerk is to wait
on the report of the treasury experts. Mr..
Barrows is reported to have made over to
the local officers of the American Surety
Company all his property, real and person
al but the aggregate is said to be consd
erably less than the amount of his alleged
defalcatiOn.
