Especial to the "News."l

Sunnyside, Utah, Dec. 22.--Nineteen
OF the 35 men arrested here yesterday

fined In sums ranging from 50 to $40
together with costs. Only two of the
Italians paid their fines and costs and
they this morning want their money
back and express a desire to join their
companions In jail IL Is expected,
however that some more OF the Ital-
ians Will today pay their fines and be
released.
In going over the scene OF the trou-
BILE this morning the News represen-
tative, In company with Capt. Ensling-
err who is In charge of the armed
guards here, picked up three Italian
knives and some 3S revolver cart
ridges which had evidently been
thrown away az the prisoners were
being taken to be searched for weap-
ons. These articles were found In the
vicinity of the Utah Fuel company ho-
tel.
The output OF coal at this camp is
gaining all the time. The amount
dumped at the mines yesterday was
1885 tons and the prospects are that
the mines Will be producing as much as
they did before the strike In few
days.
The leading men OF this town feel
that IL II were not for the presence of
the troops here that there would be the
devil TO pay and no pitch pot. II is
useless to say that these strikers are
not prepared for mischief. because
when the prisoners were searched yes
terday both revolvers and ugly looking
knives We're found on them.

New York, Dec. 22-The hearing In

II desire to call the examiners at
tention to the publication In a news
paper In this city this morning of the
letters, kilograms and cables which

These letters, kilograms and cable

ANCIENT ORDER
OF H|BERN|ANS
After Twenty Years Of Dissension
Board Of America and Board of
Erin Have Amalgama,ed.
VAST NUMBERS ARE AFFECTED.
First Result Of Reunion Will be the
Erection Of Fine Club House
In New York City.

New York, Dec. 22.--After 20 years
OF dissension the two bodies of the An
Gent Order OF Hibernians, the board
OF America and the board Of Erin, have
amalgamated In New York county. II
Is estimated that 100000 men and $780,
COO women Will be affected by the re-
union, which was brought about by
county president of the board of
America, +. j. McNulty and national
president of the board OF Erin, James
Dougherty. Daniel V. Clancy, coun.
~ corresponding secretary of the board
OF america, made the announcement.
The settlement of this dispute is
the most important move we have
made in our entire history" he said,
Now that differences are patched up
| feel sure that thousands OF Irlshmen
in this country will desert the smaller
organizations and become members of
our order.
The dissension arose at our nation
al meeting In Cleveland, Ohio, in 1884,
over the question Of admitting the chill
dren OF members who had intermar-
rled with other nationalities. Nearly
all OF the members voted In favor of
admission, but the balance, who held
that only full blooded Irishmen should
belong TO the organization, and that
the head power should be on the other
SIDE, remained steadfast and formed
the board of Erin.
THE national officers OF the two
bodies got together in 1897 and decide
upon arbitration. This resulted in
favor OF the board of America but s
per cent Of the members would not Join
and maintained the board Of Erin.
Three months ago the question was
again brought up by McNulty and
Dougherty 1t has been under discus
SION ever since and we have Just reach
ed settlement"
The first result of the reunion will
be the erection, at Fifth avenue and
one Hundred and Sixteenth street. OF
a club house and offices which will be
thrown open to all Irish societies.

Make Representations at Toxic to
Avert a Crisis Between Russia
And Japan.
THEY HAVE THEIR EFFECT.
1t is Very Likely That the Question Of
War viii be Decided in the Next
Fourteen Days.

Paris, uec. denomination was
obtained from official sources of the
reports that Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe and Foreign Minister Delcasse
have within the last few days made
strong representations at Toxic with
n view to averting a crisis between
Russia and Japan. There is reason TO
believe that these representations, COM
ing at the critical moment when ia
pans reply was being handed to the
Russian minister Baron de Rosen, ex-
erclsed a powerful restraining infu-
ence. This Is especially true of Lord
Lansdowne. owing TO Great Britain be-
ing the ally of Japan. The terms of the
japanese answer are not yet known
here, but owing TO the action taken
by Great Britain and France the otfi-
cials here are confident that her an
swer permits OF q continuance OF the
diplomatic negotiations towards secur-
ing common grounds for an agreement.
The officials of the Japanese legation
insist that they do not believe there Ia
any immediate danger OF war between
Russia and Japan, and express the
opinion that the dispute will be set
tied amlcably. They add. however,
that Japan will not abandon any OF
her rights in Manchuia and say that IL
a conflict occurs they believe the jap
