rested the agent went on board the
New York, carrying the letters with
him. He then sent for Consul Max
well, who accompanied him to the pal.
ace, where President Morales renewed
his demand and compelled the agent to
give up several letters.
Minister Powell, learning of the in.
cident, promptly went to the palace
and demanded that the letters, taken
from the agent be delivered to him.
This President Morales refused to do.
but Minister Powell persisted in his
demand. saying that the government
had no right to take such action and
that the president must hand the let.
ters to him, which President Morales
reluctantly did. Minister Powell also
told President Morales that the agent
was entitled to his protection, as he
represented an American company and
that he minister PowelD could not
consent to this arbitrary act on the
part of the government, and that fur.
thermore the agent could not be ex.
PEELED as was threatened. Finally the
case was satisfactorily settled.
Minister Powell. finding that the gov.

Pioycd in the Central Com.
petitive Field

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. fS.-What
promises to be a most interesting con
ventiou of the United Mine Wor1lers
of America convened in this city Mon
day The thing that makes the out.
look for the convention more interest.
ing than ordinarily is the fact that
within the last two months there has
been apparently preconcerted move
on the part Of several of the operators
to cut wages at the rate of ten cents a
ton. a conflict between operators and
miners seems probable.
The convention opened at 10 o'clock
Monday morning in Tomlinson hall
with about 1000 delegates from all
parts of the country According to the
bylaws of the United Mine Workers
there will be one vote for 100 mem
bers or less, but no representative or
delegate shall have more than FIVE
votes. The convention of the miners
will remain in session for ten days.
and then the miners will enter into
Joint convention with the operators Of
the central competitive field. There
will be about 300 of these operators
present, representing Western Penn.
sylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.
This joint conference is for the pur.
pose of arranging a wage scale for the
miners Of the central competitive
fields. 1t will probably last about ten
days.
The first thing on the program Mon
day morning was the address of vel.
come by Mayor Hoffman. to which
President John Mitchell responded.
The response to the address of vel
come will be followed by the report of
the committee on credentials ard the
annual address of President Mitchell.
Then will come William b. Wilson. the
auditing committee and the tellers.
who will announce the result of the
vote for executive Off iicers. It is I'M
derstood, however, that there has been
no opposition to the present officers.
and 1t is thought that their reelection
Is assured
The address of President Mitchell
and the annual reports of Vice Presi.
dent Lewis and Secretary Wilson may
not be reached before Tuesday morn
ing. President Mitchell said Monday
morning he thought that would be the
case.
There are in the United States 450,-
600 miners of whom 325,000 belong to
the organization. OF these there are
now $4,000 on strike Ten thousand Of
these are in the west, 5000 in the Mey-
ersdale district and 1000 in West Vir.

In three states efforts have been
made this year to reduce the wages of
the miners. The national officers Of
the mine workers decline to anticipate
in any way the probable action Of the
convention.

THE OHIO MINERS.
They Decided to Make Permanent the
One Per Cent. Assessment.

Columbus, o., Jan. 16.-The Ohio
miners convention Friday decided to
make permanent the one per cent as
sessments on earnings Of miners for
relief or defense fund. Fifteen thou
sand dollars is to be kept available at
all times for immediate needs.
The initiation fee for inexperienced
men was raised to $50 with view to

resolution presented by the Colum.
bus Trades and Labor Assembly oon-
demning the coal carrying and coal
producing combinations of the state.
President Haskins advised the miners
to keep out of the controversy, as a
fight for cheaper coal did not mean
less profits for mining companies or
railroads, but cheaper wages for min
