au Prince. She was to have sailed yester-
day, but was detained by the French min
ister. NJ. Deprez. She will remain here

ing great uneasiness in the foreign colony

be exercising authority.
They formed corps OF respectable citi-

disarming most OF the dangerous charac-
ters. As a result the night was much
Quieter than It would otherwise have been.

PrOpOsitiOn.

HAzLEToN. Pa. May 1A-The oonven-
tion Of the anthracite mine workers held
two sessions in the opera h6use here today
and without taking any action on the ques-
tion OF inaugrrating a permanent strike
adjourned until morning About 200 dele
gates were in attendance.
The convention is meeting behind closed
doors and. although nothing oficially is
given out. It is known thatithe all-import-
ant question was not reached, the two ses-
sions being devoted entirelx to the organ
ization OF the meeting and the report OF
the committee on credentials. President
Mitchell was made chairma 4 OF the conven-
tion.
The day brought forth nd definite infor-
nation bearing on the probable action Of
the convention and the situation tonight re-
mains about the same as II has been during
the last forty-eight hours. President Mitch
ell said that all hope Of any concessions
from the operators was gone. He has had
no recent communication. hk said, with the
mine owners. Senator Hanna OF any other
member Of the National Civic federation.
He admitted that he had some advice 70
give TO the delegates at the proper time,
but what IL Is he will not say.
Sentiment Favors Strike.
In an interview today he said that there
was no doubt that the sentiment of the
men is in favor Of a strike, but he refused
to make any reply when asked II he would
give advice that would come in conflict with
their sentiments.
II is admitted that what President Mitch
ell suggests will be done, Notwithstanding
the fact that a majority OF the delegates
are in favor OF a strike II the mine owners
DO not make concessions. Therefore, Il
looks very much though the whole mat
ter rests upon the national president The
advice that he will give. the miners to-
morrow is known to probably only four
others persons-the three district presI-
dents and National Secretary Treasurer w.
B. Wilson. who arrived here today There
are persons here representing railroads
stock brokers and others who are making
an effort to get first information.
Tomorrow mornings session OF the con-
vention will begin at O'Clock and. ac-
eording to Mr.. Mitchell, a final adjourn
ment will be had in the afternoon.
Quiet reigned everywhere in the region
today and not a pound Of coal was mined
anywhere.
great crowd OF mine workers came into
town from the surrounding villages and
coal patches They crowded around the
convention hall, waiting for information
from the inside, and they were greatly dis.

English Laud Prompt Aid by Ameri-
cans and Urge Help for
Their Kin.

LONDON, May 14.-At a dinner Of the
West Indian club. held In London tonight.
the Hon. Arthur Ponsonby declared that
In view OF the generosity shown BY Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the American people
toward the Martinique sufferers, the people
Of Great Britain should not be behind in
emulating President Roosevelt's example
and helping their own countrymen on the
Island OF st. Vincent. Sir Arthur said he
feared. however. that Z \. shion Of donat-
ing funds for the sue s., victims Of
the disaster on the ri IN, set by
King Edward, might. Ije 10

cent. =.
c. T. Cox. the administrator Of the
OF st. kits, in the Leeward group. sp~
In the same strain as had Sir Arthur Pom
sonby.
Mr.. Cox said: American philanthropy
shows up on Martinique yet no one In Eng
land has any idea how severely the in
habitants Of St Vincent must suffer. not
only from loss Of life. but from the loss of
their trade, which, in normal times is car
ried on on the hand to mouth basis"
Mr.. Cox, who is on leave in England, ex-
pressed on behalf Of the British admins y
traitors OF West Indian islands the deepest
sympathy for both the French and British
sufferers from the volcanic eruptions.
Upon all sides bitter comparisons be.
tween the British governments lack OF ac-
tion in regard to the sufferers in the West
Indies. and the prompt and material re-
sponse Of the United States to the emer-
gency are being made.
At the request Of Joseph Chamberlain,
the colonial secretary. Sir Joseph Dimsdale.
the lord mayor Of London, has opened a
fund at the Mansion House for relief Of the
victims Of the volcanic eruption on the
Island Of St Vincent.
