CONFERENCE FRUITLEss.
Miners and Operators to Meet Again
 Today.

Louisville, Ky, March T.-After an- other day spent in fruitless conference the joint scale committee of the miners and operators of the Western Kentucky district adjourned tonight to meet again tomorrow morning.
 The prospects for a settlement, how ever. do not seem any brighter than when the conference opened as both the minesr and operators are insisting upon their original propositions, the miners holding out for the Indianapolis scale and the operators for 10 per cent in- crease.
 W. R. Cole. one of the most prominent operators representatives,, stated tonight that his side positively would not go be- ycnd the 10 per cent increase and that any other concessions were out of the question while the miners representatives were equally positive in the statement that no agreement could be reached un- less the Indianapolis scale is granted.
 The matter may be submitted to an ar bitration commission in an effort to pre- vent a strike.

OCCURS IN GRUNEWALD,
Animal She Was Riding Be- came Frightened by a Doe.
Physicians Say That the Injury h q
 ss-Ns Case of Simple Fracture, and No Bulletins Have Been Issued

Berlin, March N.-While the German Empress was galloping through the Grunewald. forest near Chariottenburg. this afternoon, her horse startled by . doe that ran across the path, shied and threw her off. The Empress broke tho fall with her left arm and one of tha bones snapped just above the wrist The Emperor. Prince Adelbert. General von Loewenfeld. General von Wedel and the numerous following of ad1utants and aides-de-camp. quickly gathered around her. The Emperor was the first to life her from the ground. She screamed with pain at the first shock but after that showed much fortitude.
 "Loenwenfeld. said the Emperor, ride to the hunting lodge and telephone for Leuthhold." CThe Emperor's physician
 General von Loenwelfeld left the adjus tants far behind in the dash for the hur,tS ing lodge which was about 6 mile away. He had some difficulty in locating Dr. Leuthold. but presently reached him at the army headquarters Emperor wil~ liam, in the meantime had applied frs. aid to the injured limb and made a sling, out of the Empress's we'll.
 The Wound Dressed.
 As the party walked towards the lodge a carriage sent by General von Loewen- field met them but the Empress refused to take 1t. Dr. Leuthold. in an autonao- bile belonging to a member of the Elm. peror's staff. which was at army head~ quarters. went full speed to Grunewala. arriving an hour and half after the acs cident. He was followed by Major H. berg. the Emperors surgeon and pr. Bunker. the special physician of the Em- press. The fractured arm was dressed and bandaged at the hunting lodge and Her Majesty was then driven in a car- riage slowly back to Berlin. The Em- press sat in the carriage with her arm in a sling under her jacket, tho Emperor riding on horseback. His Majesty's close attendance caused some wonder aa the party passed through ths Untar den Lin- den. It was an hour later before extra editions explained the reason. No buile- tin has been issued by the doctors. who affirm that the injury is a case of sira- pie fracture. pr. Bunker will stay at the palace all night.
 It is recalled that the Empress a few years ago broke a bone in her left foot through being thrown from her horse at Berchtesgaden.

Meeting of Cabinet.

Washington, March 27.-All the mem bers of the cabinet except Secretary Moody and Postmaster General Payne were at the cabinet meeting today, No action of importance was decided upon. This was the last meeting, but one before the Presidents departure on his western tour and the trip itself and the speeches the President will make were the subject of discussion. Secretary Hay expressed the belief to the cabinet that the Cuban Senate would ratify the reciprocity treaty without amendment. 1t is probable that the President will appoint the Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Labor before he leaves for the West next Wednesday.

FUTURE OF THE MoRos.
Captain Peshing Gives Advice as to
 Their Treatment.

Their Treatment.
 Washington, March N.-Captain John ]. pershing. 18th infantry who has been in command in the horo country has writ ten a letter under date of Camp Vickers, January 2S to a personal friend in the War Departm tment, in which he gives in detail many inteersung facts in connec- ton with the disturbances in Mindaneo. Captain Pershing says that after he was placed in charge of Moro affairs by Gen eral Davis because of (Pershing) appa- rently could get along with them, he worked on the theory that it was neces- sary to establish mutual confidence between the Moros and the Unired States, If we are to govern them without a lot of trouble" He endeavored to demon strtae to them that the United States Is their friend. having no desire to carry them off into slavery or to take anything belonging to them without paying for it, This, he writes, is all contrary to what they have been accustomed to in the past The Spaniards and the Moros could not get along together well. The Moros were very Jealous of their religion and the Spa aniards tried to civilize them by seiz- ing and baptizing some of them. There were atrocities committed on both sides as a result of these differences.
 Captain Pershing says the Moros do not realize any other kind of a govern n.ent than a one-man power. The ques- ton of slavery is intimately connected with their religion and is something of vassalage or serfdom and not slavery as Known in this country. He thinks 1t Is subject that should remain untouched un- til 1t is understood better. The Moros, he writes, should have government which they can understand and 1t should be the policy of the United States to let 1t alone and to make each sultan and datto responsible for the acts of his people.
 We cannot afford" he says. "to tear down their established form of govern ment without giving them something bet ter and fear 1t will be long time be- n-. .i.I- anrn hn dnna '

 The venerable ex-Senator feels benefit ed by his trip. He speaks with gratifi- cation over the condition of affairs in the State. and the hopeful self-reliant bear ing of the people. They are going about their business concerns confidently and composedly." he said. mot bothered by the race question, the candidate question or any other political notions"
 The Senator Is particularly impressed by the contrast presented by Montgom- cry between the city now and six years ago, when he was last there before his recent trip. The Montgomery Union pas- senger station, he says. has no superior anywhere and the atmosphere of enter prise and prosperity seems to have taken hold on all sides. Travelling about the State over the roads," he said, which used to jolt me and bump me about" noticed they had now gotten to be equal in comfort, expedition and service to rail- roads anywhere in the country.

advices were to the fleet that all the cribbing that had been driven during the day was holding owing to the excellent batture and that if the work is not inter- rupted by wind and rain, sacking is likely to begin tomorrow and the break be closed by Sunday. The upper end of the break Is holding and the wash from the lower end is slow.
 The width of the crevasse is between l5O and 200 feet A large area of land is already submerged, but if the efforts of the forces at work are successful the water will quickly drain off. The crevasse is in the heart of one of the richest sugar districts of Louisiana. If it should get beyond control many valua- ble plantations will doubtless be covered with water in few days.
 The Texas and Pacific. whose line lies two miles back from the break, has not thus far been affected. Passenger and freight trains were moved as usual today, but trouble is likely to occur at any time if the crevasse is not immediately closed. The Southern Pacific is further away. but backwater would seriously interfere with traffic along that line if the break continues to run.
 It is expected at the Illinois Central of fces that through traffic over the Mis- sissippi Valley will be suspended as a result of the disaster south of Greenville.
 The belief that the Hymelia levee was cut in order to relieve other sections Is strong. It has resulted In increased vigilance along the levees in both the La Fourche and Pontchartrain districts and any attempt to report the. action at Hymelia is likely to be followed by blood shed if the perpetrators are caught. The river has fallen considerably in the i'm mediate vicinity of Hymelia and the strain has been materially lessened on the levees on the east bank of the river.
 The effect here, however. is only slightly appreci .ble Weather Observer Cline expects a decline by morning If the volume of wa'er going through at Hymelia Is as large as reported. At one time today the gauge marked as high as 2o.5. but tonight the river had gone back to POP, a net decline of one-tenth from yaAterday. The weather bureau expects the upward movement to be resumed if the work at Hymelia Is successful and under those circumstances sticks to its prediction of 21 feet.
 The Orleans levee board continues It's patrol of the local front. The work of strengthening moves forward without abatement.

Vicksburg, March N.-The second cre- vase of the day on the Mississippi oc- cured at Albemarle levee in lower Issa- quena County at o'clock this afternoon. Back water from Steele's Bayou had al- ready spread all over that section and was within five feet of the levee's crown, consequently not much damage will re- suit. Reports from thsre tonight state that the gap is several hundred feet wide but as the water is running through with very little force 1t can probably be closed. The Albemarle levee was an old piece of work and has been displaying danger sig nals for a week past Telephone mes sages to The Herald from Mayersvilie report that the levee three-quarters of a mile north of that place Is sloughing badly and that large crack has ap- peared in the embankment. Men and ma terial under Inspector Heigler was rushed to the scene and it is hoped that the dan ger can be averted.
 Locally the situation is unchanged ex- cept that the river again came to a stand today at 51.S two-tenths below the 1897 maximum zs==z s=5=s
