The completeness Of the diplomatic

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-Drs. Flint and

o'clock, ana shortly afterward issued
this bulletin.
For the past three days Mr.. Van
derbilt has steadily improved. Though
his temperature is not yet normal we
think It safe to predict his ultimate
recovery provided no complications
arise. In view OF the fact that the dis
ease has been so severe. his conva-
lesoence will necessarily be GLOW. Unless
something unforeseen takes place. no
further bulletins Will be Issued"
Dr. Flint visited Mr. Vanderbilt this
evening, and after leaving the house.

except for the better through the day.
He said there was nothing to add to

All OF yesterday the Associated Char

they are likely to continue TO increase

LONDON. Dec. 27.-The depth OF pop

ured by the complete equanimity with
which the public received today's news

that the quiet. masterly assumption of

a display Of feeling OF injury to Eng

TO APPOINT RECEIVERS
FOR IDLE COAL MINES
Mr.. Mason Completes Draft
Of PurpOSed Measure.
SOON TO BE INTRODUCED
Author Says Attorney General Would
Not Be Able to Cypress
Companies.
SOON TO BE INTRODUCED

Senator William f. Mason has COM
pleted the draft Of his bill which gives to
the Attorney General authority to bring
actions for the appointment Of receivers
for coal mines that remain idle, by rea-
son Of strikes or other causes. TO the
detriment OF the interests OF the people
dependent for their comfort upon the
output Of the mines.
The text Of the measure viii not De
given to the public until IL is introduced
in the Senate after the holiday recess.
The bill is short. and It is not believed
/ it provides for more than told by the
Senator when he announced his intention
Of Offering it.
Notice that such a bill was 10 be intro
duccd in the Senate was drawn from Sen
ator Mason by Senator Tillman. in a dis
cussion Of questions arising IN the debate
of the measure providing for compensa-
ton and payment Of the expenses Of the
members and the employees OF the an
thracite coal strike commission. The
South Carolina Senator took exceptions
to several provisions Of the strike COM
mission bill. and in one Of his attacks
demanded Of Senator Allison. who was in
charge OF the bill. or any other Senator.
whether there was any coal being mined
in Pennsylvania according 10 law.
The question was not regarded as ger
name to the subject under discussion.
and was evaded by Senator Allison By
the statement that he was not espe-
cially well versed in the statutes OF
/ Pennsylvania.
When Senator Tillman hurled defiance
in the face OF any member Senator Ma
son said that he felt called upon - make
an answer. In that connection ne re-
marked that he would introduce az thls
session Of Congress a bill which, if pass
ed. would give 10 the Attorney General
the power to see that the mines are
operated according to law.
In discussing the proposed Law sena-
tor Mason said that il was not the pur-
pose Of the bill to give powers to the
Attorney General which would prove an
tagonistic 10 public policy OF in any un-
necessary manner affect the interests
Of the compsnies owning the mines. II
is the plan only to give the Attorney
General the right to 20 into court, When
the mines have been idle for time that
appears to be unreasonable. and show
that the people are suffering by reason
Of such idleness.
II the court is convinced that the con-
tention OF the Attorney General is right
then receivers may be appointed to take
charge OF the mines, and operate them
until the differences between the miners
and the operators are adjusted Re
ports are 70 be made TO the court. which
will make an accounting TO the compa-
nIes.
It is Senator Mason's idea that in this
manner strikes Will be avoided, and dis
putes Of employers and employees ad-
iusted without suffering to the public.

II was said at the Italian embassy yes
terday that nothing in the nature OF an
appeal had been received from Signor
Mascagni. following the latter's arrest in
Chicago on a charge OF embezzlement.
Il, was further said. however. that
should such an appeal be received, Il
IS probable that no attention will be paid
to Il. unless the composer shall give
very good reasons why the diplomatic
representative OF his government in
Washington should question the admin
istration OF justice IN the courts Of a
sovereign state. While some messages
have passed between the composer and
the ambassador. nothing In the nature
OF an appeal bad been filed by the
former. and II Is not expected that such
a step would be taken.
The opinion was> expressed that the
legal and financial troubles Of signor
Maseagni while in this country we're

and that the whole matter was easily
susceptible Of satisfactory solution with
