STRIKE ELEMENT WEAKENS
Advocates of Tieup Fail to Muster the
Strong Sentiment of Previous Day.
SITUATION is CLoUDED WITH DOUBT
Anti-strike Faction is Evidently
Gaining Ground and Ultimate De-
cision VIII Follow a
Close Contest.

HAZLETON, Pa. May 13.-The situation
regarding the continuation Of the present
total suspension Of work In the anthracite
coal fields OF Pennsylvania is a trihe
clouded tonight. The apparent overwhelm-
ing sentiment for a strike which was In
evidence yesterday is not quite so prom
inent now and predictions were freely
made tonight that whatever the delegates
in the convention tomorrow determine
upon the winning side will have only a
bare majority.
President Mitchell and his fellow oficials
still maintain their silence, and every at
tempt that has been made to get their
opinion of the situation has proved
futile. The indications are. however. that
the delegates favoring a strike are in the
majority and will win their fight in the
convention. 1t is believed that the pro-
strike delegates in the middle and lower
regions are numerous enough to overcome
the considerable anti-strike sentiment in
the upper region.
Stationary Firemen Get In.
The proposition Of the stationary firemcr
TO go out with the mine workers IL the
latter will indorse the iremen's demands
for a shorter work day without a reduc-
tion in wages has helped to complicate
the situation. The radical strike advocates
insist that the miners union should accept
the proposition, which would result In the
suspension OF work by the engineers
hremen and pump-runners. and thus cause
the operators a large financial loss through
the flooding Of the mine workings. II IL
held by them that the mine owners would
| concede the men something rather than
see their property ruined.
The convention will meet at 10 a. m. to-
morrow and will conduct its business be-
hind closed doors.
President Mitchell will preside.
Hazleton is beginning to fill up, many
delegates having arrived during the day.
The great majority OF them, however, will
not arrive until tomorrow morning. The
only colliery that was In operation today
was the Dusky Diamond. at Beaver Brook
near here. Only ten men are employed
there and they are receiving the wages
asked for by the union.
Cannot Ge. Information.
SCRANTON, Pa, May 13.-Information
is not obtainable Ssucerning the results
OF the meetings OF the Mine Workers
local unions which were held yesterday
and last night in every district OF the
anthracite coal region for the purpose of
instructing delegates to the Hazleton
convention. 1t is semi officially stated
however, that an unexpected anti-strike
sentiment has developed in some quar-
ters, particularly in the Lackawanna dis
trict. There are some who think that a
compromise Of some sort will be made.
Many Of the. locals, It. Is said. will send
their delegates uninstructed to the Halle
ton convention.

GROWERS GET THE BENEFIT
Sugar Producers Said to BE Prospect
i've Beneficiaries of Any
Reduction.

WASHINGTON May 13.-Hugh Kelly oi
New York. extensively interested in Cuban
sugar growing, was before the senate COM
mittee on relations with Cuba today. He
asserted that the sugar growers would be
the benehciarieS on any reduction that was
made In the duty by the United States
He said the refners could not control the
price and sugar mill owners would not ben
eft from the reduction except In cases
where they owned the lands. He said that
many Americans owned sugar lands in
Cuba, but declared that few options were
now accepted by Cubans, because they
wanted to make sales outright, II at all
He said sugar growing had not been profita-
BILE Of late years, because Of the low price
Of the product and the high price Of labor
workingmen receiving a dollar a day in
gold
He discussed at some length the possibil-
tiles Of sugar production In Cuba. Senator
Platt read letter from General Wood CIV
ing the last sugar crop at 100000 tons, in
stead OF $4,000 tons, according to a previ.
Gus estimate. OF this amount 10000 tons
had been shipped from Cuba.
Mr.. Kelly gave the names of large
American companies which are producing
sugar in Cuba, giving the aggregate daily
maximum capacity of their mills at 1,41O
tons. Their actual output he placed at moi
to exceed $4,000 tons annually, or about
10 per cent OF the yearly product. He
thought there were about IT'S mills on the
island.
The witness said that latterly the pro-
duction of sugar in Cuba had not been
profitable. Reverting to the benefits to be
derived from a reduction of the duty on
sugar, Mr.. Kelly argued that the Cuban
sugar planters would be able to hold their
product until the refiners would have to
buy 1t. Mr.. Kelly said that free trade
between the United States and Cuba would
mean trade OF $500 100000 each way
annually.
DO you believe" Senator Teller asked
"thAt the United States could compete
with Cuba in the production Of sugar, with
Cuban sugar on the free list?"
II am not In the sugar production in
the United States. / only know that the
beet sugar princes, the oxnards. an
nounced some time ago that they were in
position to so compete"

SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.
John w. Mackay Started His Forum
With a Pick and Shovel.

John w. Mackay Started His Fortune
With a Pick and Shovel.
San Francisco, July 21.-Mr. Mac
kay came to California in 1851, via
Panama. He at once entered a mine
working with pick and shovel in the
placers Of the American River and at
Downville. In 1859 he went to Vir-
gfnfa City, New, and began mining on
the Comstock with varying success.
His first real start towards success
was made when he became superin-
tendent of the Kentucky mine in Gold
Hill. In 1863 Mr.. Mackay formed a
partnership with Flood, O'Brien and
Fair. In 1871 this famous mining
quartette purchased the site of the
Bononza territory north of Ophir mine
on the celebrated Comstock ledge.
The began work on a lode abandoned
by Sharon and other large operators.
The enterprise was fruitful source
OF rfdicule in mining circles, nothing
but financial disaster being freely pre-
dicted. Without losing heart or patti
ence, the four men continued expend-
ing half million dollars in prospect
ing operations. The ledge was struck
and more than $110,000,00o were add
ed to the worlds stock of precious
metals. No accurate estimate Of Mr..
Mackay's holdings in this state and
Nevada can be made, but it will run
up into the millions. He was the own
er Of valuable real estate in the city
and had interests In mines through
out the state and Nevada.

been for the past week for his wife's
health.
Mr.. Moss was stricken with apoplexy
Just as he was arising In the morning
and about to dress. His death came
without warning, as he had been in
the best of health and In fine spirits,
and had felt no premonition of the
sudden end. Although he was In his
eighty-third year, he was active, live
ly and happy, and apparently strong
physically and without a complaint.
The news OF his death was received

bors. He had lived In st. Paul for
fifty-two years and had a wide circle
of friends.
Mr.. Moss was the oldest living law
yer in Minnesota IN point OF service

ways prominent in the meetings OF
the Territorial Pioneers association
and gatherings of old settlers.
