WANT A NEW WAGE SCALE.
Michigan Miners in Conference With
President Mitchell.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 26.-The dele
CATION of miners and operators representa-
tives from Michigan, who held an ail-day
conference with President Mitchell yester-
day in an attempt to arrange an entire new
wage scale for the miners OF that state, re-
sumed their conference with Mitchell today.
Fair progress was made yesterday. but it
cannot be said that a satisfactory conclu-
sion will be reached. One Of the committee
men said:
We may agree on twenty-five points and
disagree on the twenty-sixth.
II an agreement is reached the scale can
not go into effect until after 1t shall have
been ratified by a state convention of the
miners. all of whom have been on strike
since April. -
President Haskins. Vice President Sulli-
van and Secretary Savage OF the ONO
miners who arrived last night for con-
ference with President Mitchell, left today
for Scranton. They will return this even
ing. ..-.----,----
The officials will make tour Of the entire
hard-coal belt before they return to the
west The nature of the conference with
President Mitchell has not been positively
learned, but it is generally believed to be
on matters connected with the special ma
tional convention.
There was nothing new in the anthracite
strike today. The call for the special con-
yention has been received by the local
unions and most Of them have begun to
elect delegates.

MR.. BLAIR EXPLAINS.
Unpleasant Incident in Virginia Con-
vention Closed.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RICHMOND. Va, June 26.-The convention
met at 10 o'clock; Mr.. Blair of Wythe, aris-
ing to a question of privilege, replied to the
speech of Mr.. Stuart of Russell yesterday,
when the latter characterized the state
ments of Mr.. Blair as unQualifiedly false.
Mr.. Blair said he had been misled in his
information and desired to correct his re-
marks. If. however the gentleman from
Russell meant to say that he had used
language in his absence which would not
have been employed in his presence he was
guilty of falsehood.
Mr.. Stuart accepted the statement, said it
was entirely proper and asked that it, the
only unpleasant occurrence during the con-
vention, should be dismissed. The resolu-
ton OF Mr.. Meridith. providing for a recess
to July 10, subject to call of the president
of the convention, was taken up. Messrs.
Dunaway, Wise, Wescott, Wysor, Green
and O'Flaherty opposed the resolution
Captain Wise said the convention had made
mistake and proposed to put a doubt on
its work.
The Meridith resolution was defeated on
roll call by 20 to "a.
Secretary Button was presented with
handsome gold watch by the convention
Many members have signed the new con-
stitution, among them two republicans
The convention will reassemble at
o'clock and take final adjournment.
