PEACE PROSPECTS.
There Seem to Be Many Obstacles Be-
 fore Boer Delegates.

&
 fore Boer Delegates.
 PRETORIA, May 21.-While it is hard to sift out the truth from the mass of contradictory reports that are floating in here from Yereeniging, Transvaal, where the Boer delegates are in conference, the best information obtainable leads to the belief that there are a number of obstacles in the way of a peaceful settlement.
 In summing up the situation at Ve- reeniging it is safe to say that major ity of the Transvaalers, including the TransYaal government, is in favor of peace, while the representative of the Orange Free State, with a few infiuen- tial exceptions, declare they will not renounce Independence. Strangely enough, General De Wet, who was most irreconcilable at the last confer ence, is now quite strong advocate of peace.
 Lord Kitchener certainly will not ex- ceed the concessions already offered the delegates, so there remains only the question of the reduction of the de mands of the Orange Free State repre- sentatives or the possibility of split between the Boer factions. This lat ter, while it would delay an immediate settlement of the matters before the conference, would certainly hasten the final solution of the situation in the field

Centennial Anniversary of Home Missions of Presbyterian Church.
 NEW YORK, May 21.-The president of the United States made two speech es, iii this city last night at meetings in honor of the centennial anniversary of the home mission board of the Pres byterian church-one from the stage of Carnegie hail to an audience of $500 people, the other from the pulpit of the Central Presbyterian church to con- gregation of 1,200.
 In the first of these addresses Presi- dent Roosevelt spoke at some length of his delight at the birth of the Cuban republic and of his qualification at the response of the United States to the needs of the sufferers in the West h. dies. He expressed the hope that be fore very long satisfactory tariff ar engagements might be made between this country and Cuba.
 In the second of the speeches, which was entirely extemporaneous, the pres ident not having been invited to deliver it until after he had finished speaking in Carnegie hall, his theme was the necessity of the church in the republic, the importance of Christian men and women being Christians on week days as well as Sundays. He made refer ence also to the difficulties of the trust problem as well as the problem of deal ing with the workingmen of great cities

NOT SOLD TO MANUFACTURERS
Local Dealers Claim They Were Of
 fered $6.75 for Coal Last Week.

fered SG.75 for Coal Last Week.
 The price of coal remains the same in this city to-day as it has been since Monday-$6.15 q ton. Whether there will be another raise or not can not be stated at this time. One of the local dealers said to-day that his company had sufficient supply of coal for their regular customers and a little more besides. Manufacturers are finding it rather difficult to pro- cure coal at any place. Several local manufacturers were in New York last night, but were unable to purchase a pound of coal They are finding it as hard to procure any from the local dealers either. One local dealer said to-day: ssWe are not selling any coal to manufacturers, no matter what price they offer If we wanted to-, we could sell all the coal that we have to local manufacturers at $6.75 ton. Last week when the price of coal was $6.25 ton we were offered $6.T5 a ton by a manufacturer, but we re- fused to se1l.''
 The same dealer said that the peo- pie of Waterbury had no kick coming in regard to the manner in which they were being treated by the local coal dealers. Just look at the Hartford dealers charging $7.50 a ton and it does not cost them as much to buy coal as it does the local dealers. The price of soft coal in New York was raised 50 cents q ton yesterday. No such raise in the price of soft coal has taken place in this city as yet.

FIST FIGHTS IRE FREQUENT
The Idle Miners Have Nothing
 Else to Do.

Executive Committee Began Sessions
 To-Day-There Is Faint Hope
 That an Amieable Settlement May
 Yet Be Reached, and Thus Avoid
 Calling Out Pumpmen, Engineers
 and Bremen.
 Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 21.-The three executive committees of the United Mine Workers of America to-day be- gan their first formal session since the great coal strike was inaugurated. This is the same body that met ill Scranton two weeks ago and decided on the suspension. The most import ant matter for consideration is the proposition to call out the engineers, firemen and pumpmen. This is looked upon by the mine workers of ficiaIS as an extreme measure and it will be most carefully considered be- | fore the step is taken. Some of the 1 officials still have hopes of an amic- able settlement and they do not think l it wise to anger the mine owners by withdrawing these and endangering the safety of their property. From talk with several of the committed men, it seems likely that the protec- l tors of the mines will not be called out for the present.
 The committee will also consider l the matter of calling out the bitumin- ous miners, but in the absence of the petitions from the two districts neces- sary to authorize a call for special l convention, it is believed no action I will be taken.
 A rumor is current that the railroad CTS at meeting here decided to refuse to handle bituminous coal destined for the anthracite market, and if neces- sary to cause a general strike. Pres tent Mitchell said this morning that he knew nothing about such a meet ing. When asked whether such a step had been seriously considered by him and the union railroad leaders he refused to discuss the question. There
 is reason to believe that if the traffic
 in bituminous coal into anthracite ter ritory becomes heavy the railroaders will endeavor to stop it.
 Reports received here by the Asso-
 ciated Press from all parts of the coal field shows that everything is quiet Fist fights among idle men, which ru-
 nor usually exaggerated into riots
 are of daily occurrence, but beyond
 these trifing disputes nothing has oe
 cured to stir the community. Presi-
 dent Mitchell said this morning thai
 he knew nothing of the meetings o1
 operators in New York nor of tht
 movements of the Civic Federation of
 ficials beyond what was published il

NEW TRAIN TO NEW YORK.
Matter Will Be Discussed at Mex
 Meeting of Business Men

V II
 Meeting of Business Men
 Regarding an early express train to New York, President Hall of the Busi- ness Mems association has received the following letter from the president of one of the big manufacturing concerns:
 Dear Sir: Knowing that the asso- ciation is endeavoring to further the interests of the Waterbury business men and travelling public, and knowing that there has been considerable agita- tion of late for better train service to New Lorlz, would like to call your at tention to route which has seemingly been overlooked thus far by any of the plans which have been offered. It is to take the Highland division by way of Hawleyville and Bethel to South Norwalk, connecting with the train which leaves Bridgeport at ' :50, reach ing South Norwalk at SIG, and brings up to New York at 9:19. The Consoll- dated road can well afford to give us through express from Waterbury to South Norwalk over the Highland and Berkshire division without any stops whatever This run is forty-six miles l-and could readily be made in an hour and twenty minutes, if they did not want to make it in an hour, so that would give us a train leaving at 7:1J on the Highland division reaching South Norwalk at SIG and arriving in New York at 9:19. This would prac- tically be two hour train from Wa terbury and would be what we consider 1 first-class service. They could give us a return train from South Norwalk | 0nr anafi xxys&I oSa1D :. from New York, and bring us home al 7:15. You are aware that the railroad people have claimed that it is hard tC run an express train on the NaugatucE division and not stop at every station
 as all the larger stations have reasona ble claims that they should stop, bu there are no towns of importance ol the line whatever"
 This letter will be discussed at tn, next meeting of the Business Mems as s0ciation.

THRASHER TALKS.
Tells of the Work Performed
 the Last Year.
1ss ARRESTS WERE MADE

And of These 137 Prosecutions Were
 Completed-He Says That of the 20
 Pool Rooms in the State in 1892
 Only a Few Remain-Also Says It
 Would Be a Great Loss Were the
 League To Go Out of Existence.
 Hartford, May 21.-In presenting his report at the annual meeting of the Law and Order league to-day Secretary Thrasher reviewed the work Of the organization during the past ten years and gave an account of ar rests during the past twelve months, including the Plainfield liquor raids, Meriden pool room cases and several others. In the form of statistics the report showed that 13S arrests had been made and 137 prosecutions com pleted- Fines and costs were paid amounting to $3,9S6.23 and bonds amounting to $12,495 were forfeited. The league prosecuted 1900 cases in the last ten years and had been defeat ed in but 21. In 1892 there were 2O or more pool rooms in the state and now they have dwindled down to al most nothing. In conclusion he as serted, s'were one prominent church demolished in each of the twenty larg- est towns in the state and it's income henceforth cast into the sea, it would not produce such encoura cement to wicked men as if the Law and Order league should at this time pass out of existence"

INJUNCTION ISSUED.
Petition Against Beef Trust is Grant

Petition Against Beef Trust is Grant
 ed-Little Opposition in Court.
 CHICAGO, May 21.-The temporary injunction asked for by the government against the members of the so called packers combine is now in force. 1t was issued slast evening by Judge Pc ter s. Grosscup after the close of ar guments in the United States circuit court room. The order gives the relief prayed for in the bill filed by District Attorney Bethea on May 10. 1t is so wide ill its scope that if the packers or their agents continue with their present alleged uniform arrangements they will be taken into court on con tempt proceedings, and the burden of the proof will be on them to show that they have not violated the order in any particular.
 Little opposition was raised against the governments petition. Attorney John S. Miller, who was the sole rep resentative of ehe packers present, pointed out some objectionable clauses in the draft of an order presented by Mr. Bethea. These concerned the all legged agreements for credit, blacklist ing and carriage. Judge Grosscup thought some of these minor clauses had been made too prominent, and he himself drew a form of order that pleased both sides. At the same time the order was entered numerous afh- davits and other exhibits were flied for the government.
 The courtroom was crowded as it has 1 seldom been before. General Counsel fendants, though there were many of
 flee employees of the packers among the spectators. For the government Dis l trict Attorney Rethea was the leader and was aided by Solicitor General J K. Richards and Special Counsel Day

 Unless the defendants decide to make fight at an early date in an effort t' have the order set aside they will hav'
 until Aug. 4 to make reply to the com l plaint. Attorney Miller said that h
 could not tell whether a demurrer, 1 plea or an answer will be filed, thougl

4 RAIN OF STONES.
Further Disturbances in Di-
 rection of Mount Pelee.

People of Fort de France Were Panic
 Stricken-The Governor of Mar
 unique in Company With Senator
 Knight Are Accommodating in the
 Direction of the Volcano
 Paris, May 21.-L'Huerre, of the Is land of Martinique, in cable despatch from Fort de France, dated Tuesday, May 20. confirms the Associated press despatches of yesterday saying that at 5:15 o'clock yesterday morning the same phenomena appeared as on the morning of May 8. A rain of stones, flashes of lightning and sounds of ex- plosions in the direction of Mont Pe- lee. The population of Fort de France was panic stricken.
 Later despatches under yesterdays s date say that the fire was falling at Ie Carbet Ca southern suburb of St Pierre, on the west side of the island) and that the inhabitants and troops had evacu- ated the place. No further fatalities had occurred.
 The despatches received here also re- fer to the departure of Goyernol- l. Huerre, accompanied by Senator Knight president of the legislature of Martinique) yesterday morning on the French cruiser Suchet, to reconnoitre in the direction of the volcano.
 The officials of the ministry of the colonies were much disturbed by this mornings despatches from Fort de France They thought the worst was was over, but the cable messages seem to indicate that another catastrophe is impending.
 No confirmation has been received here of the despatches reporting that Fort de France is being evacuated. As the latest official cable stated that Governor L'Huerre had gone to recon noitre the scene of the. volcanic dis turbances it is probable that no further official news will be received for eight or ten hours.

TO ESTABLISH HOME.
Man Who Died on Day He Was To Be
 Married Left $6O.OOO.

Grand Rapids, Mich, May 21.-E. l.. Mcconnell of Muskegon, who died in this city on the date he was to have married Miss Virginia Platt of Gin cinnati, in his will left $60,O00 to es- tablish a home for indigent old wo- men at Fairmount, Ind.
 An examination of the will shows that instead of ..indigent' old women. he wrote indignant old women. and this error in spelling may invalidate the instrument According to the will as originally drafted he left $6,- GOO to Flora M Newton of Syracuse N Y. to whom he was formerly en- gagged. He scratched her name out and substituted that of Miss Platt when the change came over his af- fections and only one of the witnesses to the will was appraised of the change, which was equivalent to mak- ing a new will. It is said the instru- ment will be attacked by Miss Newton and MT McDonnelfs relatives

Of this number thirty eight were found together in the mine yesterday, and thirty-two were brought out Monday. An effort was again made to effect an entrance into the Fraterville mine open ing, but it proved unsuccessful. The gaseous odors emanating indicate that all the gas has not yet escaped. Sam Jones, the mine foreman, who was iI the rescuing party that attempted tc force the entrance yesterday, was com pletely overcome by fire damp, and il is feared he will die.

TAKING OUT THE DEAD.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 21.-Up to midnight last night eighty-two bodies had been taken from the Fraterville mine at Coal Creek, the scene of the disaster in which 225 miners lost their lives.
 The cause of the disaster developed today when it became known that gas had collected in an abandoned mine close by into which an opening had been accidentally made last week by a boy working In lateral. An attempt was made to stop up the opening but it is believed that a leak remained.
