HE HAS
RECEIVED
TW0CALLS
Friends Of Rev. Mr.. Rousman.
iere, However, Are Hopeful
That He Will Not Leave.

Much interest prevails In religious and
secular circles in this city over the call
which Rev. Edmund s. Rousmaniere, rec
tor of Grace church, has received to
Grace church OF Brooklyn, ~. Y. IL now
transpires that Mr.. Rousmaniere has not
only received a fattering call TO the
Brooklyn church, but that another call
has been rendered him TO a large and
wealthy Episcopal church. OF another
large city, not thousand miles from
New York. Thus, the reverend gentleman
stands confronted with two calls. each
one of them very fiattering and equally
desirable from every point of view.
The intelligence concerning the second
call was given TO a representative of The
News. by a vestryman of Grace church
this morning.
A number OF the vestrymen OF Grace
church were seen by a News representa-
tive this morning, concerning the possi-
bility of Mr.. Rousmaniere's acceptance
of either of the calls rendered him.
Hon. Rathbone Gardner said, Mr.
Rousmaniere told me that he had re-
ceived the call TO Grace church, of Brook
lyn. and further than that is all l know
about IL. OF course we all hope that he
10 our church II he decides TO do So"
Mr.. Albert w Babcock another ves-
tryman of Grace church, said: Yes; II
is true that Mr.. Rousmaniere has re-
ceived a call TO Grace church, but my
impression is that he will not accept.
Mr.. Rousmaniere is a man who will be
governed more by his sense of duty than
by more advantageous offers elsewhere.
l believe he will see II his duty 10 re-
main here where is so much needed.
Mr.. Rousmaniere has endeared himself
TO all classes OF people here in Providence.
and he has been highly successful in his
work in Grace church, and IL would be
a great loss not only to us but TO society
at large TO lose such n man.
"In the new field TO which he has been
called his opportunities ard resources
would undoubtedly be very much greater
than here. still my impression is that he
will not leave us"
Still another vestryman, Mr. Edwin NJ.
Dodd. expressed himself in no uncertain
terms, when approached concerning the
possibility OF losing Mr. Rousmaniere.
I'VE all hope and pray that he will not
accept the call 10 Brooklyn he said. for
should he go IL would be very great
loss 10 Grace church, where he has en-
deared himself. in an unusual degree, to
all the members of the parish
Campbell, said: The possibility Of los
ing Mr.. Rousmaniere has been received
with great concern. II would be a great
disappointment To the parish to lose such
a man. He Is a very able man and liked
by every one Should he go, IL would
not only be a loss TO Grace church. but
10 the city at large. The influence for
good OF such man as Mr. Rousmaniere
Is very great in a city like ours He has
not been here long, you know, yet his
power for good has been an influence
here, and will be an Increasing influence
as the years go on.
"Of course. I cannot tell whether he
will accept the call or not, but we all
hope not"

Mine men
IN SECRET
SESSION.
No Definite Decision Yet as to
Whether Strike viii Be Called
OFF or Made Permanent.

Hazleton, Pa, May 15.-The convention
Of anthracite mine workers called to de-
eide the matter OF making permanent the
present suspension OF work In the hard
coal field resumed its session in the op-
era house this morning at o o'clock.
The question was not reached at yes
terday's session owing 10 the inability OF
the credentials committee TO complete its
work. The committee made its final re-
port this morning and after a few unim-
portant matters had been disposed OF the
question OF the hour was introduced by
President Mitchell.
This was In the form OF an exhaustive
report OF his negotiations with the Civic
Federation and the presidents of the coal
companies. The same impenetrable veil
OF secrecy surrounds the proceedings OF
the convention today and no forecast OF
the result can be made with any degree
Of accuracy
The belief born with the interview with
President Mitchell yesterday that he has
a definite plan that will help the miners
in their fight is stronger than ever today
and many OF the delegates hope that the
national president will be able TO help
them out OF the difficulty.
The strike sentiment Is still strong but
IL cannot be said that II Is as great as II
was yesterday.
Those who advocate a permanent sus-
pension IL no concessions are granted by
the operators are continuing their cam
paign OF trying to win votes for strike.
One of them said today:
1--WE must work out our own salvation
II is strike now or never. We have de-
layed IL long enough and We cannot now
turn back"
II was reported this morning that Pres
ident Fahey of district No. 9. who was
said TO be against a strike has finally de-
cided to stop pleading for peace and let
the miners do as they please. President
Fahey's position, IL is said has met with
considerable opposition in his district.
President Mitchell reiterated today that
he would advise the miners what course
to pursue when the proper time comes.
He declined 10 indicate whether this ad-
vice would be In the nature of well laid
plan. saying that he would not like TO
give his ideas 10 the newspapers In ad-
vance of their presentation TO the con-
vention. Many opinions can be had re-
garding the nature OF Mitchelis course.
The leaders are not talking. but the dele
gates, who have not yet been taken into
the confidence Of the mine workers are are
that there will be many propositions in
troduced by delegates for consideration,
and IL Is possible that the debate on them
may continue until until tomorroT oost President
Mitchell is trying To delay action In the
hope that something may come from the
other side This Mr.. Mitchell denies. and
mine owners are of. He hopes that the
will come TO final decision
today.
