the situation in the anthracite coal re-

TO express an opinion as to the prob
able result of the meeting OF the execu-
tive committee of the United Nine
workers for the three anthracite dis
tricts called for next Wednesday at
Scranton, Pa.,g by National President
john Mitchell. Senator Hanna said he
was officially notified by Ralph NJ. Eas-
ley, secretary or the National Civic
Federation, OF the statement issued by
President Mitchell In New York. He
Immediately wired Mr.. Easiey, in
structing him to refrain from calling
another meeting of the Cancellation
committee, as hat procedure would be
useless in view of the latest develop
ments. Senator Hanna said he had
been awaiting a leport from the SUBJ
committee of the Cancellation commit
tee, but that MIR. MitChelI's statement
had anticipated 1t. The work of the
conciliation committee was ended. said
the senator, when it brought together
the operators and the representatives
of the miners union, m he added that
rothing more could be done unless there
were some new developments.

New York, May 6. - There is much

bishop Corrlgan, as DIR. Reyes, the at
tending physician, announced last night
after his visit to the bedside of the pre-
late. that his condition was still dan
gerous, and there is a possibility that
1t may become more critical. Arch
bishop Corrigan is by no near u of
danger" said DR.. Reyes, and his
weakness continues; there are no ia
vorahle indications; he shows absolute
ly no interest in worldly affairs and
evinces no liveliness whatever. If he
did evince a desire to know what was
going on In the world II would indicate
that he was regaining strength. But
such is not the case. There was hope
that he would ever express a desire TO
get up, sick as he Is. but he has not
shown the slightest inclination to get
up. sleeping constantly. His condition
is grave indeed. and there is a possi-
bility that he may get worse, and this
will hold good for several days. He is
very weak, so weak, In fact. that IL
he was taken from his bed he could not
stand"

Causes shock to Europe.
London, May S. - The tardy official
admission of the real nature of the ILL
ness of the queen of Holland, which
h Associated Press was able to an
ncrnce April II from Amsterdam, may
be regarded as an indication of the,
very grove crisis IN her majecty's con-
dition, and, coming so suddenly from
the bulletins announcing her imminent
recovery. it will cause a shock through
out Europe. Apart from the difficulties
surrounding the question Of the success
sion to the throne of Holland. the death
of Queen Wilhelmina, if this
should UnhappiIy Occur,
would tend to convulse the continent
politically. In Germany especially 1t is
a matter of the deepest import. The
German press claims that Prince AL
brecht of Hohenzollern, the acting re-
gent of Brunswick, is among the near
est in the Dutch succession, and in all
the European capitals nervous appre-
hension exists that h absence of a
direct heir to the Dutch throne might
r~recipitate a struggle for h possession
of Holland, which in Berlin is regarded
as Germany's natural right.
