Senator Hanna'S Commit
tee Scores Great
Triumph.
OUTLOOK NOW AUSPCIOUS
Magnates VIII Tell Their Side Of the
Anthracite Troubles, and Committee
May Act as an Arbitration Tribunal
Between Operators and Employees.

NEW YORK, March 27--The great
power OF the National Civic Federation
was bette- exemplifed today than ever
before during its short existence, when
Senator Hanna announced this morning
that the Federation had prevailed upon
some Of the presidents Of the large an
thraclte carrying railroads and anthracite
interests. which control practically all the
immense Pennsylvania field. to agree 70
meet upon equal terms the represent
tives of the United Mine Workers Of
America.
Accordingly at 1890 o'clock this morn
ing President Evan Thomas. Of the Erie
Railroad, President George F. Baer, Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad:
President william r. Truesdale. Of the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western Rail-
road. and President OHphant. Of the Dela,
ware and Hudson Coal Company called
at the headquarters Of the Civic Fedora
ton. in the Church Mission Building, ana
there entered into conference with the fulI
Cancellation committee Of the National
Civic Federation. and members Of the
United Mine Workers.
The mine workers present we're Presi-
dent John Mitchell and Vice Presidents
John Fahey, Thomas Nichols. and Thomas
Duffy
The last three mentioned are also chair
men Of their district commit tees.
Yesterday President Mitchell and his
confederates recited to the Federation
fully the present status Of the strained
affairs in the anthracite district, where
114,0O0 miners threaten 10 strike.
Today the other side Of the story was
told. The fact that the railroad and an
thracite magnates agreed TO do SO. and
did respond to the invitation Of Senator
Hanna TO attend tOday's meeting Is a
great victory for the Federation
in the strike Of 1900 those present.
singly and collectively positively refused
10 treat with the mine workers
President OIiphant was especially
strong in his refusal to treat with the
men. and made a number Of bitter at
tacks on President Mitchell and the
union.
The fact is that the strike OF 1900 was
only settled through the strenuous efforts
Of Senator Hanna, who prevailed on J.
p. Morgan TO bring the railroad and coal
men into line.
The meeting this morning opened at
1880 Messrs. Thomas, Baer. Oliphant,

ator Hanna, who presided at the meeting
to cite fully the operators side Of the

MANAGER LOFRUS
STRANGELY SILENT
Ball Teams Mysterious Lead
er Fails TO Arrive.
THE SITUATION IS STRAINED
Telegram Received But Its Author Fails
to Show-No Present Clue to His
Whereabouts-Fans Would Like to Be
Informed.

Il has been learned. beyond the shadow
OF a doubt, that there is such person as
Thomas Lotus, who is said 20 have ac-
cepted a position as manager Of the Sena-
torlaI baseball aggregation. The state
ment that Tom Lotus is living breath
ing. and material individual has been
sworn TO by many people. who claim TO
have met and talked with him.
Under these circumstances IL is hard 10
believe that fhe manager OF the Washing
ton Baseball --ub. Incorporated. is moth
ing more than a name, but stin the fans
are waveriug. They want to believe that
there has beer a manager secured TO pilot
their champ ons through the treacherOus
shoals Of a baseball season; they want
TO believe that Lotus eventually means
10 arrive at the National Capital; but
it is hard work.
They have been told that LOTUS was In
Dubuque; that he would arrive here just
a week ago; that he was in Chicago; and
that he would arrive, positively, last
night. They have been told all these
things and have believed them. The de-
mon Of skepticism, however, is guawiDg
at their vitals. and about two more pipe
dreams Of this sort viii bring the whole
structure Of their confidence tumbling
10 the ground.
Where is LOTUS, and what is he doing? Z?
A little less than a week ago word was
received that he would arrive on GER
tain date There was much scurrying
around and preparations were made to
give the new manager a rousing recep-
tion. He failed to arrive
Ts-en the baseball public patiently set
tied down TO await some word from the
man who will govern their team during
the coming season. None came. II could
easily be thought that there is no such
person as LOTUS, for all the Washington
fans could learn.
This silence was followed by the re
port Of a secret conference between Presi-
dent Fred Postal. Manager Lotus, and
Ban Johnson, president Of the League,
at Chicago. This meeting was held be-
hind closed doors and nothing was made
public concerning il.
Following close upon this conference.
and shortly after the return of Postal 70
Detroit there came a deluge of rumors
from the Wolverine City stating that the
Senators were stated for a shelf, and
that Pittsburg ha1 already been selected
as its successor. This story was iHdig-
nantly denied by local men interested IN
the club, but stiIl there was no word
concerning the whereabouts OF LOTUS.
Finally IL was announced that he would
arrive last night and the situation once
more grew tranquil. Now II is said that
the missing manager will reach here some
time TO-DAY. Well he may.
