Conference
BOTH NATIONS AGREE
THAT WASHINGTON is NOT DE.
SlRABLE FOR A MIDSUMMER
CONFERENCE - cASSINI
SEES ROOSEVELT.

Washington, June 12.- Ambassador
Cassini called at the White house to-
night by appo ntment to discuss with
the president the selection of a place
for the peace conference. This sub
ject had been discussed by the presi-
dent in his conference with the Jap
anese minister during the afternoon.
Cassini learned from the president TO-
night Japan's views about this and
also as to the number of plen poten.
;iaries. Upon mis- return to the en-
bassy the ambassador, il is understood.
communicated this informal on to his
government. On one point Cassini and
Takahira are agreed and that is the
unddsirability of Washington for a
m dsummer conference. What else
was talked about at the conference is
not known, Cassini not feeling at lib
erty TO discuss his visit in any particu-
lar.
A point realized by the representa-.
tives of both belligerents here and
which has been emphasized in their
d spatches is that in order to take ad-
vantage of the presidents offer TO
give any advice or assistance that
might be solicited the selection Of an
American city for the conference
would facilitate negotiators in keep
ing in close touch with the president.

COAL MINES MAY
ALL CLOSE DOWN
Operators to Hold Meeting in
Springfield this Month
new LAW THE CAUSE
MINERS STAND PAT AND OWNERS
MAY DECLARE TWO YEARS
AGREEMENT ABRoGATED
AS RESULT.

Mr.. Marion c. Wright. a member of
the Illinois Mine Operators associa-
ton yesterday received notice stat.
ing that a meeting Of the operators
would be held in Springfield, ILL.,. on
the goth of this month, to take action
regarding the shot firers' law, which
has caused so much discussion be-
tween the miners and the mine own
ers.
Press dispatches from Springfield,
headquarters of both the operators
and miners organizations indicate
that trouble is likely TO follow in the
industry over this law, just passed by
the last legislature.
Herman Justi, commissioner of the
operators and Secretary-Treasurer
Ryan of the Illinois miners are
agreed in declaring that there will be
difficult time in adjusting matters
BY the terms of the law, the opera
tors must employ men to discharge
the shots set by the miners and pay
them separately The operators de-
clare this law an imposition and say
it practically works an abrogation
of the two-year agreement with the
miners now in force.
The miners contend that the law Is
but just and humane safety measure
and should be rig dly enforced even If
the operators are compelled to ex-
pend few dollars in the effort to
make their highly dangerous calling
less hazardous.
The meeting of the operators is to
decide whether or not the two-year
agreement shall be abrogated If this
| is done, strike will surely follow In
Illinois, which will perhaps bring with
| 1t Serious Coal famine and effect the
large industries Of the state
A conference by the heads of the
various railroads and other industries
| fiuence between the two bodies now
estranged will likely be called in
event the situation becomes more
acute than at present. A movement in
/ this direction Is said to have already
| been made with view to avoiding
anything like tie-up of the coal in
dustry.
Mr. Wright stated last night that at
a meeting of the executive committee
of the association, Of which he Is also
a member, it had been decided to
call a meeting and settle the matter
between miners and operators. Ac
cording to an agreement entered into
q year ago between the union and the
association there was to be no ad
vance in the cost of coal production in
I his state and accordingly the opera
tors agreed to pay the union prices
rhis agreement was made for two
Iyears and should hold good until
| April 1, 1906.
Mr.. Wright said: "The union sue
| ceeded In getting this shot firers bill
through the legislature and II will add
| considerable expense to the produc
| ton of coal and it is very likely that
the operators will refuse to pay the
| additional cost in the face of the two
| years agreement with the union and
that strike will follow"
