BX~ SECRETARY LONG WORSE
THREE PHYSICIANS AT HIS BED-
 SIDE LAST NIGHT.
Family Close at Hand-cataarh of the Bladder Develops Other Complications Danger of UrRcmic POts0nIng- Mildly DeIirious for Some Days-His Removal to a Hospital Kept Secret for Some Time.
Some Time.

Boston, Jan. 29-Former Governor John D. Long, secretary of the navy under President Mckinley, as well as for some months under President Roosevelt, lies critically i'll at St. Mar garet's hospital in this city. Tonight three physicians are at his bedside, his wife and daughter are close at hand, and his young son, Pierce, has been summoned from Hingham. All official bulletin issued in the early evening stated that the patients temperature was 1O1, pulse 9S and respiration 24.
 Ex-Governor Long was brought from Hingham nearly three weeks ago with catarrh of the bladder, a trouble of long standing. He was taken to St. Marga- ret's hospital on Mt Vernon street, a private institution. Dr. J. Winthrop Spooner, of Hingham. one of the con- sulting physicians, who has been the family physician for nearly thirty years, was sent for tonight, and on the way to the hospital said: After Governor Long went to the hospital 8 disease analogous to the grip set in, and this had effect upon the kidneys. There was for time danger from uraemic poisoning. MT. Long has been mildly deliriOus for some days, recog nizing members of his family only at times.' ...
 On being pressed for an opinion on the patients condition Dr. Spooner re- piled: Tt is serious"
 When first brought to the hospital Governor Long was attended by pr. Spooner and Dr. E. G. Cutler, of this city, After his condition became seri- ous Dr. Hugh Cabot was called into the case and the three physicians now have assumed personal charge of the pa tient.
 The fact that Governor Long was a patient at a hospital was not known until Sunday last. and at that time it was given out that the trouble from which he was suffering appeared to be yielding to treatment and that his re- storation to health was looked for at an early day. At the same time q member of the family said that the governors illness was not looked upon as especially serious. Since then the reports from the sick room have been meagre, although of a favorable ten dency. The news of an unfavorable turn in the patients condition took the city by surprise to-day, and inquiries as to his condition have almost over whelmed the hospital.
 The following bulletin was issued at il o'clock:
 There has been very little change in the condition of Governor Long since the last bulletin. He has been very quiet and, although his mind appears to be receptive, his speech is incoher- ent.
 Pulse SS, respiration 34, temperature 1919; pulse of fair strength.

SAD PICTURE OF PHILIPPINES.
President Schurmam 0m Present Com
 dttaoMs in tho Islands.

President Schurmam 0n Present Com ditsons ian tho IsInnds. New York, Jan. 29.-Jacog Gould l Schurman, president of Cornell univer- sity, and Edward M. Shepard were the principal speakers at a meeting at
 Cooper Union tonight, which President | c. c. Birmingham of the school board, who presided said was called, not for
 anti-imperialistic purposes, but because of the extraordinary indifference dis played at present in the Philippine
 problem.
 1 President Schurman. discussing American Ideals in the Philippine | Question: said:
 T think no man will charge me with
 misrepresentation if I say that the Iheartrending spectacle on which our latest sun has just risen in Luzon and 1 the Visayas; the universal devastation 1 of long and ruthless war; the conn., plete oblit eration of towns and villages; the transformation of fruitful valleys and plains into desoiate wastes and bowling wilderness; the cast amounted loss of human life; the destruction of nearly all farm animals; the annihila-
 tion of capital; the paralysis of agricul ture, trade and commerce; the derange- ment of currency; the dread spectres of poverty, famine, cholera, and the pestilence that walketh at monday, men, women and children brethren of our and fellow Christians, perishing l like wanton flies in summer, and the whole nation, sick at heart, sullen in temper, unreconciled to American rule, and thousands disarmed and overmas- tered by force, yet absolutely deter mined to achieve national independence which we still deny them-this, I say. is an accumulation of calamities that must touch our hearts with the pro- foundest pity and a combination of problems that must awaken in our minds the gravest anxiety and con- cern.
 Government by force may be tenn porary necessity, but it is at best a tawdry makeshift. Government by con- sent of the governed is the old Ameri- can way, which is also the goal of his tory, and, as our fathers devoutly be- lieved the purpose of Providence for all the nations of the world.''

ONE AGREEMENT REACHED
READING co. AND MINERS SET-
 TIE IMPORTANT QUESTION

Weighing of Coal in the Ninth District
 Allowed to be ImpFactIcabIe Because
 of Pitching veins-This One of the
 Chief Bones of contention-Question
 SIiII to be Settled so Far as Other
 Regions Arc Concerned.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 29-The Philadel- phia and Reading Coal and Iron com- pany, the last of the large coal compa- nies to present its case to the coal strike commission, took up the time of to- days sessions Of the commission.
 At the opening of the afternoon ses- sion MT. Wolverton, for the Reading company, announced to the commission that a conference held during the noon recess between John Veith, general mining superintendent of the Philadel- phia and Reading Coal and Iron com pany, and George W. Hartlein, secreta- " of District No. 9 of the Mine Work CTS union, it was agreed that the weighing of coal in the Ninth district, coal fields, is impracticable because of the pitching veins. Most of the coal mined in this region is paid for by the yard. This settles, so far as the lower fields are concerned, one of the princi- pal issues still in dispute in the middle and upper fields.
 John Mcguire, of Pottsville. formerly 8 state mine inspector, but now a divi- sion superintendent for the Reading company, was called and gave detailed description of the varying physical con- ditions of the mines under his charge. He went on to say that he knew of no blacklist in existence at the Reading collieries. An eight hour work day, he said, would have the effect of reducing the output. He did not think an eight hour day would increase the intensity and efficiency of labor in and about the anthracite coal mines as is maintained by President Mitchell. The witness said the company always got along well with it's employees until men who never saw the inside of an anthracite mine came between them. When asked on cross examination whom he referred to he named President Mitchell and District President Fahey. If the latter has been in the hard coal mines, it was only recently that he had gone into one.
 He could not give one instance where trouble resulted when MT. Mitchell or MT. Fahey came between the company and the men except the general strikes of 1900 and 1902.

EXPECTED HITCH OCCURS.
ALLIES STICK TO DEMAND FOR PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.
Refuse to Accept Venezueia's Proposal to Place Other Claimants on a Basis With the BIockadIng Powers-Vene- Discriminating Against Nations That Have Been Friendly to Her.

London. Jan. 29.-Great Britain, Ger many and Italy have sent a joint reply to Minister Bowen refusing to accept the proposal that all the countries hav- ing claims against Venezuela should be placed on an equality with the three cooperating powers.
 Washington, Jan. 29.-There was Q pause in the Venezuelan negotiations to-day that approached perilously near breach, and the end is not yet in sight It all grows out of the atti- tude os the allies in insisting upon preferential treatment for themselves in the settlement fo their claims.
 As foreshadoWed in the London dis patches, MT. Bowen has been informed of the decision Of the allies to insist upon adhering to this claim, and he has come to a stand in his work for the moment. For half an hour he was in consultation with Secretary Hay at the state department to-day, though the secretary is taking no part in the negotiations in any official sense.
 MT. Bowen is believed to have taken steps to acquaint President Castro with the demands of the allies, a sure sign that these demands exceed, in spirit at least, the concessions that MT. Bowen expected to make. Possibly fresh and enlarged powers will be necessary to enable him to meet the demands.
 Two courses are open now to MT. Bowen, and it will probably be for President Castro to elect which he shall follow. He may iii his response to the other complaint nations than the allies tatke the opportunity to in- form the world that Venezuela yields to overpowering force, and that if she cannot meet their claims they must reckon with the allies themselves. The other course is for MT. Bowen to de- clare that his mission has failed, that he cannot come to reasonable under standing with the allies, because of their uncompromising attitude, and therefore the case must go to The Hague tribunal for adjustment.
 Venezuela's plight at this moment lies in the fact that she is between two fires. The allies demand preferential treatment, while France and other creditors look to Venezuela for fair treatment.
 Senor Ojeda, the Spanish minister, called on Minister Bowen to-day and presented the formal thanks of the Madrid government for the courtesy and kindness shown the Spanish sub jects in Venezuela during the present troubles and for his safeguarding of their interests.
 Count Von Quadt, the German charge, was the only representative of the allies to see MT. Bowen. He after wards was in conference with Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassa- dor, and was later at the state depart ment, where he introduced the military attache to Secretary Hay. The Vene- zuelan matter was alluded to and the department was informed of the last report from Berlin regarding the Pan- ther episode which was published this morning.
