BERLIN, March 15.-The North Ger
man Lloyd and the Hamburg-American
steamship companies have had so mucn
expense in returning emigrants from the
United States who have been excluded
under the American immigration laws
that they have now entered into an ar
rangement with the Prussian railway
authorities under which the latter agree
to refuse transportation to persons from
Austria and Russia who fail to meet cer-
tain requirements.
Russian emigrants, according to the
requirements must have a pass, a steam
er ticket to an American port and 500 in
money Austrian emigrants must be sim
ilarly provided except for the pass. They
must present certificate from the ex-
amining agents of the companies at
Ratisbon and Myslowitz.
The government has laid the emigration
report for 1901 before the reichstag. 1t

President of Philadelphia & Reading
Company After Recollection
Talks of Impending
Strike.

READING. Pa, March 15-The annual
meeting Of the TerA7le Iron company was
held here this afternoon A peculiar
phase of the meeting was the fact that
only one stockholder, George F. Baer,
president of the Reading company, was
present. Mr.. Baer held the proxies of the
other shareholders, and with the assist
ance of his secretary transacted the bus
mess of the meeting.
The election resulted as follows: Presi-
dent, George F. Baer; directors, e. B.
Thomas, president of the Erie railroad;
W. X TruesdaIe, president of the Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western railroad;
Thomas P. Fowler, president of the New

Rogers Maxwell, president Of the Cen
trail Railroad Of New Jersey; Joseph
s. Harris. Of the Philadelphia & Read
ing railway, and Maj. Irving A. Stearns,
president of the Delaware, Susquehanna
& Schuylkill railroad.
George f. Baer, who Is president of
the Philadelphia & Reading railroad,
said tonight that he did not anticipate
any trouble with the miners in the an
rhracite coal region. The conference
which President John Mitchell, Of the
United Mine Workers OF America, had at
tempted to arrange at Scranton, Pa, had
not been held, Mr.. Baer said, because the
operators declined to meet the officials
of the miners union in conference.
President MitchelIs letters, requesting
meeting were answered." said Mr..
Baer, land reasons were given why the
operators would not participate In q CON
ference. For some reason these answers
have not been made public. The men
employed in the collieries of the Reading
company and the Lehigh Valley company
are opposed to a strike, but conditions
are different in the Scranton region, and
| do not know what the convention may
do"

So the other day the speaker sent for
