MINERS NAY STRIKE.
Refusal of Operators TO Confer on
Wage Scale the Cause.

Shamokin, Pa, March 20-The min
ers' convention Wednesday began the
consideration of the important mat
tiers which will decide whether the no.
tees posted by the operators at the
various collieries, announcing a con-
tinuance of existing conditions, shall
be accepted or rejected.
The committee on rules and order
of business met at $3.50 O'Clock, a half
hour previous to the assembling of the
convention, and completed the details
Of their work. The delegates Wednes-
day morning displayed much interest
in the expected presentation by Pres
ident Mitchell of the letters from the
presidents of the operating companies
declining conference with officials
of the United Mine Workers in regard
to a wage scale. These letters con-
stitute one of the most important sub
jects to be considered by the cOnven-
ton; but the delegates having nothing
but general knowledge of their con-
tents, declined to discuss their prob
able action concerning the communi-
cations. President Mitchell Wednes-
day reiterated his denial that the visit
of Secretary R. M. Easley, of the Civic
Federation, concerned the situation in
the anthracite coal regions. When
asked if he would make any further
effort to see J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr..
Mitchell said he had made no arrange
ments looking to that end.
During the executive session the
convention appointed the committees
on scale and on resolutions and heard
the report of the special committee
appointed to seek a conference with
the operators. The delegates express
ed keen disappointment and the oppo-
sition to continuing work under the
present low wages and unfair condi-
lions was unanimous and emphatic.
The indications here Wednesday
night pointed strongly to a strike dec
laration and it is said by some of the
men that the declaration may come
as early as Friday of this week. The
operators letters seem to have caused
much bitter feeling among the men.
Philadelphia, March 20-It was
learned here Wednesday night from
trustworthy sources that in refusing
to enter a joint conference with rep
resentatives of the United Mine Work
ers' union, the officials of the great
coal carrying railroads and coal com
panies were careful to so word their
declination that it was not a direct
rof11coI RI moot tho uaiuorC' roprocop
tatives because they were successful
To this request the companies gener-
ally answered by letter, saying that it
was impossible to arrange a wage
scale that would be uniform because
of the different conditions of mining
in the different fields and on the
ground that nothing could come of it.
declined to meet in a joint conference
as proposed.

open DOOR INCHINA
A Russo-French COnjoint Declara-
riOn Issued.
The Russian and French Governments
Are Wholly Pleased With the OBJ
iects of the AngIo-Japan-
csc Agreement.

ST. Petersburg, March 20.-The Off
cial Messenger Thursday prints the
text of a Russo-FTench conjoint deela-
ration, sent March 16 to the Austrian,
Belgian, British, American, Spanish,
German, Italian, Dutch, Chinese and
Japanese governments. The declara-
ton is as follows:
The allied Russo-French govern
ments are wholly pleased to discern
that the Anglo-Japanese convention
supports the essential principles
which, according to the reiterated
statement of France and Russia, con-
stituted and still constitutes the foun-
dation of their policy. Both govern
ments believe that the support of
these principles is also a guarantee
of their interests in the far east. They
are compelled, however, not to lose
from view the possibly inimical action
of other powers or a repetition of dis
orders in China, possibly impairing
China's integrity and free develop
ment to the detriment of their recip-
rocal interests. They therefore re-
serve to themselves the right to take
measures to defend these interests"
The PREDATORY remarks say that Rus
STA desires the maintenance of the
status quo and the attainment of COM
plete tranquility in the far east
Paris, March 20.-The morning pa
pers here comment with much salts
faction and approval upon the Franco
Russian declaration concerning the
Anglo-Japanese convention, which,
they consider, strengthen the chances
of lasting peace in the far east as con-
tributing to the establishment of nee
essaTy balance of power, a striking
conservation of the dual alliance and
a definition of it's scope, field and OBJ
jects.
If" says the Figaro, Germany and
the United States have any misunder-
standing regarding alliances and pol
icy in China, or fears for the open
door these are now removed. We
are for the open door on the condi-
tion that nobody attempts to close it
on US
The Gaulois thinks this declaration
comes at an Opportune time to re-
mind Great Britain that her treaty
with Japan does not leave her such a
free field as she seems to believe.

PHILIPPINE WAR RoMANcE
Michigan Soldier to Wed Kansas
Girl Who Picked Up His Card.

Wilson. Kan. Sept. 3-The engagement
P. Hines, merchant of this place, and
Lieutenant Bates Tucker. of the United
States regular army. is announced. the
announcement recalls little romance in
which these young people figured and
which Will shortly eliminate in their mar
riage. During the rush of the United
States troops to the Philippines at the out
break of the Spauish-American war, Mr..
Tucker, who halls from Sault Ste. Marie,
Mich, was a private in a Michigan volun-
teer regiment. While passing through
Wilson, these soldiers were greeted at the
depot by crowds of fair Kansas maids,
who gathered at the station at the arrival
of every soldier train to cheer the boys on
their way to the battlefield. It became
custom with most of the soldiers to drop
their cards from the train, which were
later picked up by the girls, and in al
most every instance these soldier boys
who had thoughtfully left their names
and addresses behind found letters await
ing them their arrival at Manila. In
most cases these letters were from strang-
erS who had come into possession of their
cards and had written merely out of cur
iOsity. In some cases, particularly this
one, correspondence was kept up dur
ing the time that the soldier boy was on
the islands. On his return to the States,
Tucker stopped to visit his new-found
sweetheart while homeward bound. On
his return home correspondence was
still kept up between Mr.. Tucker and
Miss Hines, and has finally resulted in
the announcement of their marriage.
Tucker, after receiving his discharge
from the volunteer army, was appointed
a second lieutenant in the regular army,
which position he now holds.
