COAL STRIKE
Is Now Likely to be
Averted.

Pittsburg. Pa, March IA strike oi
the soft coal miners will be ayerted
according to the opinions of leading
operators and miners who returned
from the Indianapolis convention to.
day. The compromise proposition sub.
mitted to the miners. it Is said will
be accepted and the rate fcr mining ad.
iusted for period of two years on a
basis of S5 cents a ton for screened
the Pittsburg Coal company said to
day:
THE miners undoubtedly will ac-
ceDt the proposition. The question Is
to be submitted to the referendum
vote Of the men and it does not seem
possible that they will vote against the
acceptance of the terms offered. In
my opinion Western Pennsylvania and
Ohio miners will vote almost soiidly
for the two year scale. In Indiana and
Illinois the vote will be divided"
When asked about the meeting of the
committee on March 81, M. Robbins
eylnced some surprise that it had
leaked out that there would be meet
ing, and, after moment, said:
There will be meeting on that
date, provided the referendum results
favorably to the acceptance of the
proposition. Should it end other
wise. there will be no meeting and the
strike will be on. If favorable vote
is announced the operators authorized
to do so will meet and sign the scale
and there will be no recall Of the
committee.

AN|MOS|TY
Of Russia Against United
States.

st. Petersburg, March S.--Uondon
Times )-The Novoe Vremyra in ap-
proving action of the government re
garding privateers takes occasion to
indulge in fresh display of animosity
towards England and the United States
who are represented as playing off
against each other two dangerous pow
ers. 1t is really Of slight importance
to either England or America which
nation is ultimately successful in the
present conflict as the inevitable re-
suit will be that both will be weak
erad.
Therefore the two powers feel that
the combatants should be strengthened
at their weakest point, Japan in her
finances and Russia in her naval
strength Accordingly, declares the
newspaper, Russia is receiving large
numbers of applications from Ameri
cans and Englishmen who desire pri-
watering papers.
The correspondent declares, that
while the latter sentiment of the Noyoe
Vremya needs verlfication. 1t serves to
illustrate the eagerness of the Russian
press to discover in every trifing oc-
curence evidence of malign intentions
cr tho part of the United States and
Great Britain.

RUSSIA GETS CROUCHY

Moscow, March S.-The feeling
against the United States and Great
Britain is constantly growing through
out Russia despite the reports to the
contrary disseminated by certain news
agencies acting upon Russian official
initiative. The project is now mooted
for stand by Russia. Germany and
France against the aggression of ia
pan, the United States and England.
1t has been debated but the ultra Slavs
are chary of accepting Germany as an
associate at any price. The general un-
easiness however, increases the posi-
bility OF complications very materially.

AGAINST WAR
Russian Students are
DemOnstrative.

st. Petersburg, March S.--(London
Times. 1.-The feeling against the war
on the part of the student bodies and
other organizations has grown to such
ures to prevent street demonstrations
have been adopted in all Of the large
cities Of the empire. AS a sample of
the feeling the following is transla-
ton of resolution adopted by the in
stitute of mining engineers of, st
Petersburg by vote of 215 to 40.
In view of the fact that war with
Japan had its origin In policy con-
ceived solely in the interest of a small
privileged minority which is detri
ment to the vast majority of the Rus
sian people and Is the result Of that
spirit of reckless adventure which
characterizes the enterprises Of the
government in the far east
Therefore, we students of the insti-
tute of mining engineers, taking our
stand on the fundamental principle
that 1t Is the bounden duty of the ma
ton to serve the whole mass Of the
people and not those thankless exploit
ers,
Therefore, we express our pro-
found dissatisfaction with the govern
ment which is the responsible author
Of this fresh national migfOrtune and
our condemnation of that section Of
the Russian youth whose pseudo pa
triotic demonstrations and humble ad-
dresses to royalty have tended to lead
the government clique to believe that
the masses favor war which is in
human and contrary to the interests of
the people"

NATURAL CAUSES
Responsible for Death of Man Who
Said He Had Been Given Knock.
out Drops.

New York, March 7.-Coroners
Physician Albert T. Weston this after.
noon completed the autopsy on the
body of Leon Melles, the young the.
atrical agent whose sudden death yes
terday under suspicious circumstances
led TO the belief that he had been
given an over dose of knockout"
drops. The autopsy revealed the fact
that deathswas due entirely to natural
causes. There was absolutely no trace
OF poison. Cirrhosis of the liver and
acute uraemia, the doctor said were
the immediate causes. This exonerates
the young woman for whom the police
have been searching, believing that
she knew something about Melles'
death.
