wilkesbarre, Pa, May 22.--Inauiry at
the offices OF the big coal companies here
today failed to elicit any definite infor-
nation as 20 how the operators Will meet
the latest demands OF the miners
At the offices OF one OF the largest COM
panles in the field IL was said no definite
plan had yet been decided upon. because
AZ was not positively known until last
night what action the union would take
and the company wants more time to
think the matter over.
The general impression prevails that
most OF the companies will refuse the
demands. and there is much speculation
as TO the next move OF the mine owners.
Some OF the smaller companies, II is
known. have been training their men 20
be iremen and pumpmen and in some coll
lieries they have already displayed that
class OF workers.
Ii is rumored that non-union men will
be imported TO take the places of the en-

PAY TAX TO SIX COMPANIES
Omaha Cinnamon Contribute to Fund
to He Used Against Ex-
clusion Bill.

The Chinese Six Companies by its recent
appeal for funds with which to oppose the
enactment OF the Chinese exclusion bill
raised about 500 in Omaha. according to
the statement made by an English-speaking
Chinaman who keeps in close touch with
the work of the companies. He said:
when the Six Companies came to the
point where money was required II levied
a tax OF 81 upon every Chinese resident of
the United States. The notice of the tax
was sent out several months ago and placed
In the hands Of every representative OF the
companies in the country. Each Chinaman
was commanded to pay 81 and requested to
pay as much more as he felt able for the
purpose of defeating the exclusion bill in
It's present form. Strange as it may seem,
the majority OF Chinese residents Of the
United States do not oppose restriction
upon immigration from their native land.
Ihey would make no objection to a law
which would keep the common laborers and
members of trades out OF the country, but
what they object TO is the exclusion Of the
students and merchants. II was this phase
OF the pending bill which aroused their OPP
position. OF course the Six Companies is
opposed to any restriction of immigration,
but the average Chinese resident of the
country is pleased to live where the stand
ard OF living is higher than that which he
has left and he is wise enough to want to
preserve those features OF the business life
which tend to keep that standard high. He
knows that with unrestricted immigration
his fellows would flock to the country and
that the influx of immigration would mean
lower wages, with a corresponding decrease
In the returns from all lines of business in
which Cinnamon are engaged"
Continuing, the Chinaman gave a brief
outline of the Six Companies, saying that
Its managers were looked upon by the aver
age Chinese resident of the United States
as the direct representatives of the Chinese
government. 1t has a complete organiza-
ton, with representatives in every commu-
nifty where a number of Cinnamon are set
tied and issues edicts and orders with all
OF the freedom of the emperor of China IN
his own domain. The tax recently levied
was as binding upon the Cinnamon as
though it had been issued in form OF law
and was paid without protest.

INTERFERES WITH The MAIL
Mike Robe Comes to Omaha and Makes
Fumigation Necessary,
DELAYS LETTERS FOR WESTERN NEBRASKA
incidentally Mike Causes DIR. Ralph to
order Every Mail Clerk 60
submit 90 Vaccination
Mt Once.

Mike Robe, doughty son of the Smallpox
Germ family, seems- to be determined TO
figure as a national character. Not long
ago he had the State Board of Health pc
titioning the government to send the navy
to Omaha to suppress him. and now he has
been caught In the act Of interfering with
the free transmission OF the United states
mails. He was the cause OF a whole car
load Of it being sidetracked in Omaha yes-
terday. The car lie still here. and Is
likely to be for fifteen hours yet, as the
work Of fumigation is slow. He also
caused a reign Of terror in the federal
building, where since . o'clock yesterday
morning orders have gone forth that all
persons employed in the handling OF mails
shall be vaccinated forthwith.
Mike came to town in the physical shane
OF Edward B. Saunders OF Nebraska City,
who is employed as a weigher in the rail-
way mail service. He arrived over the
Union Pacific early Wednesday morning
and reported at once at the federal build
ing. After transacting his business he
complained that he was feeling bad and so
was invited to lie down on a cot in the
rear Of the mail distributing room. Here
he remained an hour. then returned to his
car at Union depot and went to work.
Meanwhile Charles Davis, a distributor.
though he would take a nap, SO lay down
on the cot Saunders had just vacated.
Call for Health Commissioners.
In mail car 1O2 those who worked shout
der to shoulder with Saunders began to
suspect that all was not right. He was
complaining of pains in his back and head,
and his face was punctured with pustules.
They felt that they were in the presence
OF a dual identity, and that Mike Robe and
Ed Saunders were both embodied in the
same corporeal envelope. They notified the
health commissioner to this effect.
A glance Of DR.. Ralph's practiced eye told
that Saunders had the smallpox. He
ordered him TO the pest house, ordered the
car sidetracked and the mail fumigated,
and then turned his attention to the people
at the federal building. Here he found that
several persons besides Davis had used the
cot, so he ordered the cot and bed clothing
destroyed, the room fumigated and everyone
in the room to be v~accinated.
This is why people who called at the post
Office yesterday were met at the rotating
doors by such an overpowering smell OF
wood alcohol and formaldehyde and why
people in the western part Of the state are
not getting their mail.
RI. Ralph says that in spite of such incl
dents as this smallpox is on the wane in
Omaha.

EXPECTED TO RETIRE SOON
Army officers Here Believe B~riEadier
Generals just Appointed VIII
Resign.

Among the officers at the headquarters
OF the Department of the Missouri the
recent appointment of brigadier generals
by the president is looked upon as an evil
dence that there is little hope In depart
mental circles for the passage of the pend
ing army reorganization bill. It is also
generally expected that the officers ap-
pointed Wednesday will resign their posi-
lions under the age limit, making place
for other promotions.
Under the service clause the first Of the
newly appointed brigadiers to retire is
General Hughes. whose term Of service will
expire April IL, 1908. General Burt will
retire under the service provision Novem-
Der 20. 1903. and Generals Sheridan and
Derussy in 1904. Before his appointment
General Sheridan was the senior colonel In
the a~djutant generals department, and
Generals Derussy and Burt were senior
colonies in the infantry.

Fifteen YEARS FOR TREASON
Private John w. NicOdemua' sem
tence for Joining FiIipinOs
is Reported Here.

From the Philippines. by way of oficial
orders received at the headquarters OF the
Department Of the Missouri yesterday.
comes a story OF treason which has never
before been published.
The traitor in the case was John W.
N~icodemus, a private in Company NJ OF the
Forty-seventh United States volunteers. He
was confined in the guardhouse at one Of
the posts in the Department of the North
ern Philippines a year ago for some trivial
offense, but broke from the house and es-
capped. Immediately after leaving the lines
of the United States army he entered the
insurgent camp and was received with re-
joicing. He offered to enter the ranks of
the Filipinos and was accepted as a re-
cruit, but before active operations began
he became sick and was thus prevented
from using arms against his country.
When he was finally captured he was
tried and found guilty. His sickness saved
him from the extreme penalty of the law
and he was given a sentence OF fifteen years
In a military prison at hard labor.
