MAY MEET ADMIRAL EVANS.
It is Thought That the Kaiser is Ar
ranging His Itinerary to That End.

1t is believed that Emperor William, in
arranging his itinerary during his Medi-
terranean cruise, has arranged matters SO
that he will meet Admiral Robley D. Evans
on the return of the latter to the United
States. Admiral Evans in a short time will
leave Hongkong. where his big battle ship.
the Kentucky, is row being docked, on his
way to New York, via Suez and he will
probably fall in with Emperor William, who
will be on the Hohenzollern, the imperial
yacht, in the eastern Mediterranean. The
emperor has had a standing invitation for
Admiral Evans to visit him again in Ger
man waters, having taken a strong liking
to the American naval officer ever since he
appeared at Kiel at the opening of the Kiel
canal on the cruiser New York. There are
hints from Germany that the emperor
would like very much to see the Kentucky,
presented to him to be a model American
battle ship, so the emperor will probably
seize this opportunity to crafty his curl
osity and renew his acquaintance with
Admiral Evans.

MORALES HAS TO YIELD.
Not Allowed to Keep American Vessels
From Port of Macoris.

President Morales of the Dominican re-
public has been refused permission to block
ade his own ports to keep out the revolu-
tionists. He at first demurred but finally
acquiesced when informed that he must.
The incident is related in the course of a
report to the Navy Department by Capt.
James E. Miller, commanding the cruiser
Columbia, in which he says:
This morning, February Is, the Ameri-
can three-master schooner W. r. Perkins
came in from the eastward and our board
ing boat went along. The captain informed
me that he had been warned off Macoris
and not allowed to enter by the gunboat
Presidente and was told that he must pro-
ceed to this port. Immediately upon re-
ceipt of this information l communicated
with the minister requesting him to COM
municate to President Morales and inform
him that l would not recognize his right to
blockade Macoris and refuse entrance to
vessels flying the United States flag. The
minister informs me that the president de-
INJURED at first, but finally agreed to the
fact"

AMERICAN GUNNERs LEAD.
Work Of the Wisconsin's Men Compar
ed With the Leviathan.

The attention of American naval ord
Lance officers has been attracted to the
discussion in the house of commons YES
terday, in the course of which Mr.. Pretty
man, secretary of the admir- atty spoke of
the feat of the British armored cruiser
Leviathan, which fired ten rounds from
her 9.2-inch guns in two minutes, hitting
a 14x20 foot target ten times at a range
of 1900 yards. 1t is conceded that this is
a fine showing, but in comparison with the
recent work of the battle ship Wisconsin,
whose 13-inch gun crew fired ten shots in
ten minutes, hitting the target nine times
at distance of 1000 yards, is not to be
considered. In the former case the guns
are of much smaller caliber, and being
of the rapid fire class, the firing of five
shots minute is not regarded as particu-
larly unusual. The feat of the American
gunners on the Wisconsin is, however,
looked uron as remarkable, because they
were handling 13-inch gun and projectiles
of much greater weight, and struck
smaller target at the same distance, 2,O00
yards.

THE MINERS DEMANDS
Important Joint Session Of
Leaders on Both Sides.
EFFORT TO ARBITRATE
RESOLUTIONS BY MITCHELL FOR
LABoRERs' INTERESTS.
Operators Representatives Make
Strong Reply-Insist on Reduc-
ton of Wages.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March 1.-When
the conference Of miners and operators of
the central competitive district opened to-
day, w. H. Bassett, an Ohio delegate.
moved that the scale now in effect be re-
adopted. This was seconded and put to
vote. The vote was as follows:
Ohio operators, no; Illinois operators no;
Indiana operators, no; western Pennsyl-
vania operators, no; Ohio miners, yes; Illi-
nois miners, yes; Indiana miners, yes;
western Pennsylvania miners, yes.
The Real Demand.
President John Mitchell presented a series
of resolutions which," he said represent
the real wishes and demands of the
miners
The first of these demanded that the run
of mine basis be adopted, the scale paid to
be the equivalent of the present pick mined
screened coal scale.
The second resolution declared that the
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania operators
now operating with machinery are enjoy
ing unfair advantage over hand min
ing, in consequence of which the miners de-
mand a I-cent differential.
Uniform Wage Scale.
The third resolution demanded that a
uniform wage be provided for different
classes of outside labor, including the me-
chanical trades. The fourth resolution de-
manded that brushers in long wall mines
be advanced to $3.50 a day to equalize
wages. The fifth resolution demanded that
trouble in the districts be settled in the
district.
F. L. Robbins made the following de-
mand for the operators:
That the condition of the times and the
necessity of meeting competition and pres
ent conditions require reduction of Is per
cent from the present scale of wages.
Asked for Arbitration.
President Mitchell spoke for the miners,
arguing for the resolutions as presented.
Mr.. Robbins replied and during his argu-
ment said: 1--WE have been criticised for
dealing with labor as a unit, but we have
continued In the hope that you men would
act the part of decent, honorable men, and,
like was done by miners in England, ac-
cept your share of adverse conditions after
having received your share of prosperous
conditions. Present conditions demand a
reduction in wages. We ask you to arbi-
trate as to what your share of the reduc-
uon In the price of coal shall be- l tell
you now that and the companies 1 repre-
sent Will never sign a scale except it be a
reduction in wages"

U. s. SUPREME COURT
GREAT ATTENTION
AT THE PRESENT TIME.
Interest Felt in It's Decision in the
Northern Securities Case-No Ink
ling of Progress Known.

The United States Supreme Court Is at
tracing more attention these days than
any other assembly under the great dome.
The decision in the Northern Securities
case is expected weekly, and is awaited
with the deepest interest and most intense
anxiety.
This great test case of the anti thrust
laws has a bearing upon politics as well as
business, and 1t would be difficult to say
which is the more important
Yesterday, when a decision was consid-
cred probable. the court room was crowded.
Senators and representatives mingled with
other members of the bar and occupied
every available seat Outside the rail the
anxious faces of spectators indicated the
presence of persons whose interest in the
expected decisiC I lay in the commercial

For half an hour Washington was the
center of attraction to the financial world
OF this country, and New York Boston,
chicago, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and St.
Louis financial institutions We're clamoring
for news from the Supreme Court
No Inkling of Progress Known.
No inkling of the progress of the court
with the decision has thus far reached the
public, and only surnise as to the condition
or the case Is at hand. From the fact that
two weeks ago the court cleaned up heavy
grist of small cases and yesterday rad none.
the inference Is drawn that the court is
at work on the merger case
There is talk of unusual seore,v being
thrown about the consideration OF the case,
but no one knows anything about it out
side of the court itself. What's gong to
be done and when, the Lord in His wisdom
and the Supreme Court only know, and they
won't tell.
Everybody interested in the decision is
concerned to know which Mr.. Justice will
hand. 1T down. 1t will make a good deal of
difference whether the decision is announc-
ed In the low and almost indistinguishable
voice of some member of the court or
whether It is clearly and distinctly read
and explained by member whose enuncia-
ton Is vigorous. If only one copy of the
tant to the news associations and the cor
respondents II the court takes pains to fa-
cilitate the PRONUNCIATION of its decision.
