MOTIVE OF VISIT
PRESIDENT SAID TO BE AT WILL
kESBARRE. pa, TO PREVENT
MINERS STRIKE.
Tells Miners and Operators to Get To-
gether, But Mr.. Baer Resents
Roosevelt's Interference

Willlesbarre. Pa. AHo"gt lo.-(Spe-
cal president Roosevelt arrived
here today, accompanied by Assistant
Secretary Barnes and a special party,
to make speech to the miners. He
was met at the station by John Mitch
ell president of the United Mine
Workers, and a committee of distin-
guished citizens and given rousing
welcome by an immense crowd who
gathered at the depot to see Mr..
Roosevelt To the hurrahs, he smil-
cd and bowed right and left, while
special policemen with difficulty fore
ed passage through the crowd for
the presidents carriage to pass.
The presidents program also in
cludes speech to the delegates of
the Catholic Total Abstenance I'm
ion. which is holding its national con-
vention here.
Mr.. Roosevelts visit here is re-
garded as conclusive evidence that
he is determined that there shall be
no strike Of the anthracite miners
next year if he can help it. The main
course of his speech can be summed
up in a brief advisory phrase to both
miners and operators and that is
'get together and settle your diner
ences amicably.'
There are those, however, who be-
l,eve that Presiednt Baer of the Read
ing railroad and the guiding genius
of the coal combine will resent any
interference by President Roosevelt
in the matter. Mr. Baer has never TAX
en- any pains to conceal the fact that
he is resentful of Mr.. ROosevelt's ac-
tion in the strike Of 1902. when the
larger coal companies were whipped
into line and forced to agree and sub
NIT the matter in dispute between
themselves and the men to commits
sion named by the president much
against their wishes. Mr.. Roosevelt,s S
stay in Wilkesbarre will be brief for
the party leaves on the return trip
to OYSTER Bay at seven o'clock this
evening. In the presidential party
were Kermit, Mr.. Roosevelt's young
son and his nephew Philip, who were
brought along that they might see the
coal regions and the mine workers.

U. S. CONTENTION GOOD.
Privy Council Overrules Cana
dian Justice in Greene
Caynor Case.

London, Feb. 9.-The privy council
has rendered its decision in the Greene
Gaynor case in favor of the America,
government. The council reversed the
two judgments of Justice Caron, of
Quebec. August Is, 1902, and ordered
the respondents to pay the costs of APP
peal.
The councils decision criticizes the
action of Justice Caron in releasing
Greene and Gaynor and Caron's lex
traordinary Intervention" and adds:
Where prisoner is brought before
a competent tribunal charged with an
extradition ofense, and is remanded
for the express purpose of affording the
prosecution an opportunity Of bringing
forward evidence whereby the accusa-
ton is to be supported; if, in such a
case, on a writ of habeas corpus, a
learned judge treats remand warrant
as nullity and proceeds to adjudicate
the case as though the whole evidence
was before him, it would paralyze the
administration Of justice and render il
impossible for proceedings in extradi-
ton to be effective
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's judgments and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
Justice Caron interviewed.

FOSTER WINS ONE.
p0Sfmasfe at Seattle Confirmed
Over Ankeny'S Objection.

Washington, Feb. 10.-The nomina
ton of George M. Stewart as postmas-
ter at Seattle was confirmed by the
senate just before the hour of adjourn
ment yesterday afternoon. The action
of the senate was tremendous surprise
to Senator Ankeny, and he is deeply
chagrined ovre the result, while Sena-
tor Foster is correspondingly jubilant.
Mr.. Foster declared yesterday that
Mr.. Ankeny should mot be allo we'd to
run the delegation while he Foster
was member of it, and swore that he
would bring about the confirmation of
Mr.. Stewart "a postmaster. Mr.. An
keny was equally confident that he
could prevent favorable action on the
name. and he asked several senators to
withhold action because Mr.. Piles, who
had just been elected to succeed Mr..
Foster, was opposed to Stewart, and
that inasmuch as Seattle is the home
town Of Mr.. Piles he should have the
naming Of the postmaster. Mr.. Ankle
ny was taken by surprise and did moth
ing at the moment to prevent favora-
BILE action by the senate.

bottom Of the basin. This calls time"
Many were the plans for recording
the flight of the hours before the com

the hour-glass, which was made Of
various sizes and capable OF recording
with tolerable accuracy almost any

one greater than an hour.
This system OF keeping time was 80

RUSSIAN PAPERS MAKE DEMAND
FOR PEACE.
Strike Situation Becomes OF Sec.
oudsry importance In View Of
Renewed Agitation for Cessa-
tiOn OF HoStilltieS-Some OF the
Articles Amazingly Oufspoken.

St. Petersburg, Feb. 9.-The strike
situation has become Of secondary i'm
portance in view Of the renewal of the
agitation in favor Of peace.
For the first time since the outbreak
Of the strike the newspapers have tax
en- mp the cry Of "stop the war;" and
some of these articles are so amazingly
outspoken and determined in their sen.
timents that it can only be supposed
that the censor has authority to permit
the peace sentiment to spread among
the people, probably in the expectation
that a sudden cessation of hostilities
would otherwise come as too much of
a shock to the war party.
The press Of South Russia has taken
the lead this time.
A partial strike at the Putiloff iron
works and the complete tie-up of the
st. Petersburg car factory gave rise to
rumors yesterday of a general recrudes-
cence of the strike movement here, but
the strike has not extended to other es.
Establishments, and the success of the
manager of the Putilof works in pre-
venting the great body of the workmen
from following the example of their
comrades in two of the shops. who
had walked out. gives basis for hope
of an amicable settlement. The pres
emit trouble involves the questions of
pay for the time the men were on
strike and the eight hour day, which
were discussed at meeting of the en-
ployers last night.
The students Of the military acad-
envy of medicine yesterday struck on
the ground that owing to police inter
vention it is impossible to carry on
their education. They demand that
the academy close until FIRE, dom is
granted them.
