ANTHRACITE STRIKE
 HAS BEEN kVERTED
Through the Influence Of Senator
 Hanna and J. P Morgan.

New York. March 2G.-Regarding the meeting of the coal miners representa- tives and the conciliation committee of the civic federation. the Herald will say tomorrow:
 There is no likelihood of Q strike in the anthracite district this year. The miners formulated their demands and the operators will probably meet them half way.
 Announcement was made last night on the best authority, after Senator Hanna's conference with J. P. Morgan, that the threatened trouble will be averted, mainly through the efforts cf the two men who were the chief fac tors in settling the big strike in the presidential campaign of 1909.
 Senator Hanna is one Of the most earnest advocates of the cause of arbi- tr2tion and presented the situation from his view point with such force that Mr. Morgan was convinced that the operators should yield the point
 MT Morgan is in control Of some coal roads and is in q position to de- eide upon the course of action to be taken without reference to any of the other coal magnates. He sees no par ticular objection to recognizing the United Mine Workers Of America as the union is called. through his sign ing of contracts with individuals en- pIoyed, especially if the present wage scale can be maintained for another year He does not believe the union IS particularly strong with the miners He will agree to terms that he deems reasonable and Senator Hanna was jubiiant when he left him, being con- vinced that the strike would be i aVerted."

Hansbrough, of North Dakota, con cluded his speech begun yesterday In support of the measure. maintaining that the oleomargarine industry had been outlawad by the legislatures C. many states and that it ought to be compelled by congress to take off the mask and place the product on the market for what it really was. Mir. stewart of Nevada declared the pro- posed legislation unnecessary and that there was no more reason for taxing colored oleomargarine than for taxing cOlored butter.
 The principal speech of the day was delivered by MT. Deliver of Iowa. He spoke forcefully and throughout com manGed the interested attention of his colleagues and many members Of the house who had come to the senate to hear him.

RUM0R AT BISBEE
 THAT ". 6. GREEHE

 Greene Consolidated Copper Go.

Bisbea. Ariz., Mar. 26.-(SpeciaL)- A visitor from Cananea says that re- port is circulating at that place to the effect that W. (. Greene has disposed of his interests in the Gananea Consoli- dated Copper company to New York capitalists. The only authority for the statement is the rumor itself, which is general among the Americans. They claim that it was started by one of those in close touch with the affairs of the company.
 The recent visit to Cananea of two wealthy directors is pointed out as sig nificant. They spent their time in- specting the mine and the affairs of the company in the superintendent Of flee. Here in Bisbee but little conti- dence is placed in the report. MT. Greene is known to be taking an active part in planning work for the coming year, and it is figured that if he had any intention of stepping out he wouiI rot be working along the lines he is at present.

THE AUT0CRAT
 OF SOUTH AFRICA Cecil J. Rhodes Died Yester-
 day Afternoon
Death Was Immediately Preceded by Two Attacks of Heart Failure. His Great Work in Extending
 British Influence Beycnd the Cape.

Capetown, Mar. 26.-Cecn Rhodes died peacefully at 5:57 T. m. today. Mir Rhodes vas conscious until 5:55 D. m. when he muttered 9 few words and sank quickly. The immediate cause of death was two successive attacks of heart failure. At his bedside were pr Jamis0n. Dr. William Smart cOmmis- sioncr of public works. Col. Elmhurs; Rhodes. director Of the signalling South African field force, and Mir. Walton. member of the assembly at Pert EliZ abeth.
 Rhodes last words were the names of his brother and some others present, which were meant to ba good byes.
 The body will be taken to Grottes- chuur, the residence Of the deceased, near Capetown, on q special train to- morrow. There il will probably lie in state for day or two, and the public will be admitted to view the remains. It is not yet determined where they will be buried. It was the wish of Rhodes to be inferred at Matoppo Hills, Rho desia. Friends will proceed to Matoppo Hills to determine whether it is prac-- ticable to carry out the wish.
 Cecil J. Rhodes was born in Hertford- shire, England, in 1853. He came to
 
 South Africa fer his health ano amasscd a fortune in the diamond fields of Kimberly. He became a mem Der in the Cape ministry in 1884 and was made prime minister in 1890. On account oi his participation in the Jam ison raid in 1895, the following year he resigned the premiership and also the chairmanship of the British South Af- rican company. His influence. though, in South African affairs, was never les sened, but on the contrary increased.
 1t was this influence which precipi- tated the South African war.
 The illness of which he died is said to have had its origin in the mental strain he endured during the siege of Kimberly by the Beers. He did moro to extend British influence over South Africa than any other man. The name of British Zambezi was changed to RhCdesia in his honor

any discourtesy or annoyance which is not required to prevent fraud
 The report further says: The com mittae has stricken out the provisions in the Kahn bill which forbade the en- ployment of Chinese on ships carrying the American flag on the Pacific. We regard this provision as foreign to the purposes of the bill which is to prevent the entry of Chinese into this country We also regard it as injudicious. Ths. result O. such a provision would be to compel steamships which now float the American flag on the Pacific, to take Pacific register. This is certainly not the way to build up our merchant ma rine, for which there is so great de- mand. The work done by the Chinese on these ships in the intense heat of the tropics is work which our American workmen could not do. should not do and would not do.''
 Representative Clark Of Missouri ra- served the right to make a dissenting report against the employment of Chi nese sailors on American ships.
