reference to the settlement of title to the

Save the general statement that the
negotiations between the United States
and Colombia are progressing satisfac-
torily, neither party to today's confer
ence had any statement to make as to
what took place. 1t was admitted, how
ever, that there was not the least ex-
peotatlon that the treaty between the
United States and Colombia giving the

explained by the necessity Of mall cor
respondence between Washington and
Bogota If the treaty is ready when Con-
gress meets next December there will be
really no actual delay.

London, July 17.-7Details of an import
ant move by Russia which have been

Baron de Staal. Russian ambassador in

Philadelphia, July 1.-THE battleship
Maine, built by the Cramps to replace
the Inflated Maine returned to this city
tonight after a satisfactory builders
trial at sea- The new war vessel proved
herself to be very speedy ship for her
size, she averaging 1929 knots an hour
over a measured course. Her contract
calls for a speed of Is knots.
In a preliminary run late last night
the Maine attained a speed of 1895 knots
an hour, which she maintained for a
period of thirty minutes. Her machinery
worked smoothly and the performance
of the big ship in every other particular
was satisfactory to her builders. She
was sent to sea shortly after 7 o'clock
last night for a preliminary run. The
course was laid southeast of Overfalls
light ship and for an hour and thirty
eight minutes the great warship was sent
ahead at top speed. From the very start
of the run 1t was seen she would exceed
her contract speed. and there was much
satisfaction expressed when calculations,
made after the run, showed the vessel
had maintained an average speed of
1906 knots an hour.
For thirty minutes during this run
she had a burst of speed Of 1895 knots
an hour, which Is considered extraordi-
nary for a vessel of the Names dis
placement After the preliminary spin
the Maine was allowed to drift all night
and this morning she lay twenty-five
miles southeast of Five Fathom bank
to the Overfalls light ship. During the
night every part of the machinery was
inspected and thoroughly oiled and clean
ed and as a result the big ship increased
her speed of the night before am placed
her average figures at 1923. The test
was so satisfactory to the builders that
her nose was Immediately turned toward
Delaware Bay and this city was reached
tonight.

fused to do so. This so angered him, he
said that he did not know what he was
doing.
King came to this city in 1898 from Bal
timore and commenced a search for the
identity of his parents. In June, 1900, he
obtained an order in the Supreme Court
directing the authorities of the New
York Founding Asylum to show cause
why they should not allow him to ex-
anime the books of the institution. He
asserted that he had been placed in the
institution in 1871 when a baby, and in
1873 was farmed out to James r. Gard
ner of Bryantown, Nd, with whose fam
lily he remained until 1894. when he went
to Baltimore. He claimed the books of
the asylum would disclose the Identity
of his parents
The application for the writ was argued
before Justice O'Gorman, when Jane c.
McCrysal the treasurer of the asylum
since 1868, stated the record of the books
was:

convention for the purpose of asking the
soft coal men to violate their agree
ments. I'VE would not violate our agree
ments," he said, land we do not propose
to ask others to do the same thing. We
must show to the world that we know
how to respect contracts"
Patrick Fitzpatrick of Dunmore, Pa,
an anthracite miner, with snow white
hair made a fiery speech urging the
soft coal men to strike, saying 1t was
the duty of the members of the organiza-
ton to stand together and that if the an
thracite men were beaten in the east 1t
would be only a short time before the
bituminous men were defeated In the
west.
Patrick Finney, a youthful soft coal
miner from the Pittsburg district urged
that the contracts of the soft coal men
be respected. He also warned the con-
vention against following the advice of
the elderly Mr.. Fitzpatrick. saying that
the sage counsels of the young men
should be followed rather than the in
fiammatory advice of the aged. Mr.. Fitz-
Patrick endeavored to get the floor
for a reply but a rule had been passed
forbidding any delegate to speak more
than once upon the subject under dis
cussion. and he was forced to take his
seat
It
the first district, urged a general strike.
"If you soft coal men, he said "are go
ing to drive us back to be slaves, then
we want you to break your contracts"
Other speeches were made, those in
favor of the recommendations of Presi-
dent Mitchell being In the ratio of three
to one compared with those against.
Upon motion of John Dempsey an ad-
journment was then taken until 10
o'clock Friday morning to enable the
anthracite men to hold their caucus.
Caucus Against Strike.
At caucus of the Illinois delegation,
pose any general strike. 1t was also de-
of President Mitchell with the exception
sessment of 81 per week on members Of
the union.
Action similar to that of Illinois was
taken by Ohio and Iowa tonight
The action of the caususes makes
general strike practically out Of the ques-
ton, as the anthracite men cannot carry
their point without the aid of Illinois and
that state, Iowa and Ohio against them,
there is no apparent manner in which a
strike can be ordered.
President Mitchell said tonight:
'I am greatly pleased with the out

far and l have no doubt that the policy
outlined in my speech today will be car
