40 MINE STRIKE IN IOWA
Masters and Men May Agree After Decla
ing 1t Was Impossible.

ing 1t Was Impossible.
Des MOines. Ia. March 2S.-Repre-
sentatfves of the coal miners of Iowa
and the mine operators notified each
other that they had no further prop
0Sition to submit and that neither
would cOncede another point on the
questions at controversy. However. n
conference was arranged. although
both sides declared it would be use
less. This meant Il strike on April l.
Between 12.000 and 1900 miners
are employed I'm this state. They all
belong to the United Mine Workers.
President John Mitchell visited the
conference two weeks ago and urged
them to insist upon their demands
The operators had made concessions
as to the 1S02-1903 scale. but they
declined to meet the principal demand
of the miners. This demand was for
the employment by the operators of
shot tirerS.
But much to every body's surprise
the conference committee yesterday
reported an agreement to the joint
convention. In reaching this agree
ment the miners withdrew their uni
form wage proposition and both sides
granted concessions on the question of
shot firers. The resolution as present
ed to the convention embodied clause
for the employment of competent shot
cAaminers-or the miners might en-
ploy shot frers at their own expense
and provided that shots should be
fired but once day in all districts
where one shooting produced sufficient
coal.
When the scale and resolutions
adopted by the committee were re-
ported to the convention there was a
great deal of diSSa tisfaction on the
part of the miners. After discussing it
the entire morning they retired into
executive session for its consideration.
At late hour last evening no concld-
sion had been reached by the miners.
though it is generally believed they
will not order a strike.
Des Moines, March 2S.-In accord
ance with the understanding reached
last night the joint conference of
miners and operators ratified the
agreement finally and adjourned this
forenoon. The miners were defeat

Imputation of the State
Department and
House Action.

Washington. March 2s.-A genuine
sensation was caused in the house yes
terday by the presentation by Richard
son Of Tennessee. the Democratic lead
or, of charges alleging the corrupt use
or a fund of 100000 in connection
with the sale of the Danish West In
dies. The charges were contained in
an alleged secret report of Captain
Walter Christmas to the Danish gov
ernment. which declared that he had
employed corrupt means TO bring the
negotiations for the sale of the islands
to Il cOnsummatiOn. The report, eX-
tracts from which Richardson read.

tions. the names of which were not
given. as having been interested in

Richardson by implication added the
name of the secretary of state. In his
speech presenting and defending his
resolution lie said: Il have so far
made no reflections upon any American
official; but l do say this. that these
facts that 1 have submitted here, the
extracts from these Danish papers.

these United States senators. did the
committee on foreign affairs OF the
senate. know this: / do not know:
but this is the first time the attention
OF this house has been called to this

To me there is one thing unpardOnable
IN this whole business, and that is
that the department of state must have
known OF the publication of these in
famous charges in Denmark and in
Copenhagen for two weeks. or nearly
three weeks, before this treaty was rat
ified.''

resolution will disclose the fact that
