MoRRIssEY IS CALLED IN.

 Men Will Strike.

Upon Him Depends WhetheE Railroad
 Men Will Strike.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 19.--Though both sides are firm and not disposed to yield anything, developments today in the controversy between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen indicate that an amicable settlement of the dispute may be effected shortly without resort to extreme measures. A chance of q break was temporarily averted by the decision of Vice. Grand Master Lee and as assistants to send for Grand Master P. H. MorrIssey for the purpose of com sultation. Upon the latters attitude and the result of conference which Mir Morrissey and the Brotherhood committee will have with General Man ager Atterbury tomorrow, the question of strike Is dependent.
 Tn discussing the situation, MT. Lee said:
 we stand where we stood after our conference with MT. Atterbury Wednes- day. Nothing has happened to min lmize the prospect of a strike. While we have absolute authority to settie the question or order out the men, 1t was deemed best to put Mir. Morrissey in touch with the situation before any action was taken. He Is the highest officer in the Brotherhood. and 1t was considered wise to let him see just how matters stood."-
 Mir. Atterbury said tonight that SO far as the company is concerned, there was no change in the situation. Ic an interview today, MT. Lee refutes Mr. Atterbury's statement that the only point at issue was the question of com- pulsory firing.

 A large force of British counsel and advisers was at the right of the court. Baron Taube, the Russian Judicial ad- visor and other Russians were in the left part of the hall.
 Hugh OBeirne of the British Elm bassy, agent of Great Britain before the International Commission, read the charges which consist of seventeen specifications. minutely setting forth the attack on the Hull Fishing Fleet. It was specifically declared that no Japanese torpedo boats and no war ships whatever were among the fish ing fleet. and that no Japanese war ships were anywhere in the North Sea.
 Baron Taube read the Russian reply which specifically declared that two strange boats approached the Russian squadron which the searchlights dis closed to be torpedo boats. The Rus sian fire was opened. the two torpedo boats moving off and later disappear ing. The Russian statement further asserted that Admiral Rojestvensky was absolutely obliged to act as he did in order to destroy the torpedo boats which had attacked his squadron.
 The principal charges of the Brit ish statement follow:
 "On the night in question there were not any warships whatever In the neighborhood of the fishing fleet ex- cept those of the Russian navy.
 NO warships had been seen by the fishing boats since a long time pre- vious.
 None of the boats making up the fishing fleet carried any kind of mate rial of war.
 NO Japanese warships of any kind whatever was at that moment in the NOTtH 0ed
 There were not any Japanese upon the fishing boats.
 The Russian fire continued after their searchlights clearly showed the vessels were peaceful fishing boats.
 None of the Russian ships gave or even offered assistance,
 The fire killed two men, wounded six. sank one boat and damaged five others"
 The statement concludes that the at- tack was without any provocation up- on pacific fishing boats.
 The following are the principal points of the Russian reports:
 "At about midnight the haKshIp Kniaz Souvaroff saw the outlines of two small boats which approached with great speed with all lights extinguish- ed directly toward the battleship.
 When the two suspicious boats came within range of the Russian search lights they were recognized as torpedo boats. Thereupon the battIeships opened fire.

DIRTY LINEN WASHED
MINERS LEADERS HAVE AN Ex-
 CITING SESSION.
President Mitchell Is Accused of sell- ing Out the Organization, and He Makes Counter Charges
 in ReDIY.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19.-In the national convention of the United Mine Workers of America today John Mitch gate Robert Randall of Wyoming Of having sold out the Colorado striking miners to the operators. of having been traitor to the miners organiza- tlon and of having entered into a con- spiracy with the mine owners, D. M. Parry and Governor Peabodys peace organizations, to ruin the Colorado miners and lose the recent strike.
 President Mitchell, replying, took the floor and gave some of the reasons why the national miners organization had withdrawn its support from the Colorado strikers. Randall had said that President Howells of the district asked for $300,00O for the strike, of- fering to win or lose it on that amount. Mitchell referring to this said:
 Let me be plain on this. Howells did not ask for the money. If he had he would not have got 1t; I would not trust him with it."
 He charged President William II :. Howells and ex-National Board Mem Der J. I. Gear, with crookednesS and Gear with collusion with stock brok- CTS. He told how he forced Gear to resign his office because of it.
 Gear, he said. admitted that he was to get $1,000 for advance information concerning the close of the strike. He also told of Howells's leaving Gear in charge of the strike for a time last year and said that in two weeks Gear drew S35,OOO of the organization g money for the strike.
 "Howells," declared Mitchell, lis not & safe witness against anybody"
 He told how the first and last money sent to the strikers was appropriated by the officers to pay their back sal aries.
 There were speeches by vice-Presi- dents T. L. Lewis, Patrick Dolan of Pittsburg; W. R. Farley. who was in charge of the strike, and Secretary Treasurer W. B. Wilson. All went to show that the Colorado officials or miners had attempted to hold up the organization; that they even wanted a per diem for men out on strike; that they bled the national treasury under every pretext and that instead of starving they received more money than the anthracite strikers got--fg- ured on a per capita basis-and that there was a demand for enough for the strikers to live on turkey.

measures were adopted nevertheless. There was a strong feeling of danger upon the battleships and the duty of protecting themselves against the at- tack of torpedo boats obliged con- tinuance of the. fire despite the evident risks of hitting not only the fishing boats, but also. the ships of the squad ron itself which had arrived within the zone of the, fire.
 "In the meantime the two torpedo boats drew off and shortly after dis appeared. Finding that some of the fishing boats were damaged, yet being certain that all danger from the two torpedo boats or possibly others was not completely removed. Admiral Roj- estvensky considered 1t Indispensable for the entire squadron to continue its route without stopping.
 Admiral Rojestvensl<y while taking Into account the damage caused to in- offensive fishermen. subjects of a neu- tral power, was nevertheless compelled to use all the means in his power to de- stroy the torpedo boats which attacked his squadron"

The opponents of the impeachment in the House have relied confidently upon saving the &C., cused judge in the Senate.
