Recrudescence Of the Most Sore spot
I'm All Europe.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The publication Of q
French yellow book detailing the efforts
made by France and Russia during the past
year to induce Turkey TO institute reforms
in Macedonia which resulted in the

and In the Austro- Russian agreement re-
garding press reforms in Turkey, is held
to point to the fact that an acute phase
of the Balkan question has arisen The
rumors that Austria is preparing a squad
ron at her naval port of PoIa. the passage
of the Russian torpedo boats through the
Dardanelles into the Black sea. and other
incidents are being recalled. while the ON
cial denials of the mobilization rumors
issued by the Austrian government are
received with some skepticism. There have
been recently several reports of hasty pur-
chases of war material by Roumania, the
Balkan states and Turkey.
The yellow book confirms the statement
that France approves Of Count Lamsdorff's
proposal to institute radical reforms in
Macedonia and gives a gloomy account or
the deplorable conditions prevailing In the
Macedonian provinces.
Reports are current in Odessa that Aus
tria and Russia have agreed upon joint
naval coercion of Turkey In the approach

According TO Professor Bambury. who Is
supposed TO be well informed as to the
views entertained at Yildiz Kiosk. the Sui

MINERS AND OPERATORS HAVE
AGREED ON ONE POINT AT ISSUE.
Weighing Impracticable i'm Part of
Strike Commission Testimony.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 29.-The Philadel-
the last of the large coal companies to put
its case to the coal strike commission, took
up the time of the days sessions Of the
commission. At the afternoon session an
nouncement was made that the mine work
ers and the Reading Company officials had
agreed that the weighing of coal in the
southern coal fields is impracticable. This
settles. so far as this field is concerned
one OF the principal points in dispute. It
Is still bone OF contention in the middle
and upper parts of the anthracite regions
Most OF the contract miners in the southern
helds are paid by the yard.
The witnesses called by the Reading Com
pany to-day were principally superintend-
ents, who told of conditions existing about

pany. John Mcguire. of Pottsville former
ly a state mine inspector but now a di-
vision superintendent for the Reading Com
pany. was called and gave a detailed de-
scrlpuon or the varying physical conditions
OF the mines Under his charge. He said that
he knew OF no blacklist in existence at the
Reading colljeries. The witness said the
company always got along we'll with it's
employees until men VINO never saw the in
side OF an anthracite mine came between
them. When asked on ton
whom he referred to. he named President
Mitchell and District President Fahey. AS

pany and the men. he cited the general
strikes of 1900 and 1902.

union and boycotted because they were
awarded contract on basis which the
unionists thought was not up to the union )
standard. He said all the union workmen
refused to handle the coal and that the COL
liery was temporarily shut down.
Adam Boyd. OF Shenandoah. another d.
vision superintendent. told OF the flooding
Of Preston No. colliery. which Is still
full of water. Early last year man was
at work pumping out water so as to re-
cover body. and this work was still In
progress when the strike started. The
steam men did not strike, but when the
body was found. OH July s. they stopped
work before the body was hoisted TO the
surface. He tried TO get the men TO stay
at work not to have the mines be-
come fuli OF water, but they refused. The
