MINERS UNION ARRArcHED.


Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 1s.-counsel
for the coal operators yesterday con-
tinued to arraign the miners union
in their arguments before the an
thracite strike commission. The in
dependent operators of the Lehigh,
the Wyoming and the Lackawanna
regions held the attention of the
commissioners for the greater part
of the day, the proceedings conclud-
ing with the presentation of the
Reading company's argument by ST.
mon p. Wolverton, the company's
chief counsel. In nearly every case
the attorneys charged President
Mitchell with responsibility for the
alleged lawlessness in the coal re-
gions during the strike and the
union was characterized as an ire
sponsible Organization, whose mem
bers were beyond the control of the
leaders,. Mr.. Wolverton strongly
urged the incorporation of the union
and charged that itwas unfit to con-
troll the anthracite industry, because
boys are numbered among its mem
bers. .s 4

of the Yellowstone park, by adding

'GERNANY'S DEMAND.
She Insists on Big Cash Payment
from Venezuela.
BRITAIN AND ITALY STAND TOGETHER
It Is Expected That an Answer VIII Arrive
at Washington To-Day from Germany
70 the Final Representa-
WIN tions Made.

Washington, Feb. 12.--Germany ha
ignored her previous agreemen
made with Mr.. Bowen by Count Vo
Quadt-Wykradt-Izzy, her charg
d'affaires, and has insisted on cas-
payment Of $4,000 or lien on tn
customs receipts Of one of the Ven
ezuelan ports until this amount 1
paid. This information was commu
nicated to Mr.. Bowen last night b,
Baron Speck Won Sternberg, the Ger
man minister. Mr.. Bowen immedi
ately informed. the German minister
that he refused to yield the receipts
of any port prior to The Hague deci.
sion, saying that would be preferen-
l4ial, treatment. As to the cash pay
nent OF $4,000 demanded Mr.. Bowen
left that matter to the German min
lister to determine, saying to him that
- Germany can afford to make pub
lic confession that 1t does not stand
by agreements signed by Its duly ac-
scredlted diplomats, he (Mr. Bowen)
- willing that they shall receive, Oh
the day the protocol 10 signed, the
total amount asked in the original
Sl1dmatum. This response has been
cabled to the German foreign Office.
Great Britain and Italy have re.
-nounced any responsibility for the
action Of Germany and expressed
their regret Through theiF repre-
sentatiyes here they have informed
Mr.. Bowen that they will stand by
MI agreements they have made with
him and will not be influenced by
the action Of Germany. Both the
British and Italian protocols provide
for cash payment Of R5,5OO and for
the submission of the question of
preferential treatment to The Hague,
They contain recommendations for
the renewal Of all previous treaties
Of amity and commerce and the Ital-
ian convention has an article provid-
ing for the payment Of the Italian
claims which already have been adj
Indicated without further arbitra-
tion, after her commission has arbi-
trated the other claims. With the
exception of the demand for an in
creased cash payment the protocol
Of Germany in all essential respects
win conform to that Of Great Brit
ain, but will be somewhat more con-
else. All three protocols, it is UNDER
stood, will provide for the immediate
return Of all vessels seized by the
blockading ships.
It is expected that an answer will
arrive here to-day from Germany to
the final representations made, and
upon the receipt of that answer the
signing Of the protocols probably
will occur. As soon as they are
signed orders will be dispatched to
the blockading ships for their imme-
diate withdrawal from Venezuelan
waters.
