THE PITTseURe DISTRICT.

Plttsburg. April 6.-Absolute peaCs. and quiet prevails in the bituminous coal fields today. where yesterday the miners showed an ugly disposition and refused to work. The general feeling of satisfaction is attributed to the ar rival of delegates from the distric, convention, who yesterday adjourned and returned to their homes and ex- planned the situation to the miners. who hesitated to return to work All danger of further trouble is thought to be over and by Monday it is assert ed the mine will be in full operation.
 The Ptttsburg Coal company today reported that of the eighty-one mines operated by the Pittsburg Coal com pany, the Monongahela River Ccnsoli- dated Coal and Coke company, and the New York and Cleveland Gas and Coal company, but four were idle. OCe of these was undergoing repairs
 Chairman F. l.. Robbins. of the Plttsburg Coal company said: About SO'oo0 men are at work and not more than 2.O00 employed in our coIlieries are idle. They will probably resume in a few days. Yesterday we had twenty mines idle"

FEAR OF REJECTION.

Philadelphia. April 6.-Much impor- tance is attached to the meeting of in- dependent operators held today in Wilkesbarre.
 Among the mine workers the inn pression appears to be growing that President MitchelTs arbitration prop- osition is not altogether acceptable to the operators, and the fear is express ed that it may be rejected when the conferees meet in New York next Monday. Nothing was made public concerning the meeting of the inde- pendent operators.
 Squads of the state police are daily traNerSlng the region and report no disturbances of moment. Warrants were issued in Pittston today for the arrest of four members of the state police. They are charged with enter ing the homes of mine workers and confiscating their guns.

THUNDERINGS
 OF VESUVIUS
Have Filled Adjacent Vii-
 IdgeS With Terror
4 Column of Fire a Thousand Feet High, Lights up the Land and Sea by Night.

Naples, April 6.-The inhabitants of the villages in the vicinity of Mount Nesuvius are in a condition bordering on panic. Many homes have been abandoned for the open air. although there has been a thick fog all day and the atmosphere has been dense with volcanic ashes and the fumes of sub terranean fires. The churches are crowded day and night with people praying for deliverance from the inn pending peril manifestations of which are heard and felt in explosions whicn resemble heavy cannonading and iiI the tremblings of the earth which are constantly recurring.
 The main stream of lava proceeding from Nesuvius is 200 feet wide and it flows at times at the rate of twenty one feet a minute, destroying every thing in it's path. The peasants of POrtici, at the west foot of VesuVius. cleared their grounds of vineyards and trees in the effort to lesen the danger from fire and resisted the progress of the lava to their utmost. The popula- l tiOn of Boscotretaz, on the southern deClivity of the mountains. has sought safety in flight. and Bosco Reale. to the eastward, is also threatened. The women of this village, weeping with ltlSnl, carried d statue or Sl- Anne as near as they could go to the flowing; lava, imploring a miracle to stay the advance of the consuming stream. The cemetery at BoscOtretaz has
 been invaded by lava. The scene at
 night is one of mingled grandeur and | horror, as from the summit of Vesu-
 vius there leaps a column of fire fully a thousand feet in height, the glare
 lighting the land and sea for many miles. Occasionally great masses Of molten stone, some weighing as much as a ton are elected from the crater. The village of Torre del Greco, which
 has been eight times destroyed and as often rebuilt, is again threatened and the inhabitants are in extreme terror. Signor Matteucci, director of the ob servatory. is working indefatigably. He has had military engineers establish telephonic connection between the ob- servatory and points within the vol canic activity. The director said to the Associated Press this evening that all though the eruption presented a grave menace, he did not believe it would reach the villages. Indeed, he said, the
 present volcanic activity was not all together unmiXed with good. for if it
 had not come to pass a violent and sud- den eruption having a far wider radius might have occurred.

PHILADELPHIA SUES
 FILLER CONTRACTORS
An Action for the Recovery of Five
 Millions.

Philadelphia, April 6.-Civil pro ceedings were instituted today by tho city against the contractors and former city officials interested in the con struction of the municipal filter plant to recover $5.0O0,OOO which sum is al . leged to have been wrongfully retain ed by the defendants. A bill in equity was filed with the prothonotary of the common pleas court by City Solicitor kinzey and former Judge James G. Gordon, Mayor Weaver's private counsel.
 Those named in the bill are Israel w. Durham, former republican leader of this city; State Senator Jas. r. Me Nichol, A. McNichol, his wife; Daniel J. McNichol, John NJ. Mack. all of whom were at one time members or the contracting firm of Daniel J. Me NichOl and company; Wm. J. Haddock and Peter Costello, former directors of public works. and John w. Hill, form CT chief of the filtration bureau. The prayer is sworn to by Mayor Weaver The bill is in the form of a paper book of more that 1000 pages containing the entire history of the filtration plaaJ contracts and setting forth in detail the mass of evidence that has been gath cred showing the alleged wrongful acts of the defendants by which the city was defrauded.
 This bill is expected to give the public the facts upon which the mayor and his counsel rely to prove the charges that have been made from time to time against the n. ]. McNichoI and company. It is the first of the civ il suits to be begun by the city since the beginning of the investigation in the construction of the filters. and many of the statements contained in it are along the line of the report made by the filtration committee and signed by Major Cassius E. Gillette auj Chairman of the Committee James prior to the election last November.

THE MEDICINE
 OF MITCHELL
Offered Him by BituminOuS
 Operators
An Arbitration Proposal Similar to That Presented by Him to the An- thracite Owners.

New York, April 6.-Interest in the labor troubles in the anthracite re- gions was oversnadowed today by the proposition that came out of the west for an arbitration of the difficulties existing between the soft coal operat- ors who have not yet agreed to the 1903 scale and the miners. The offer of the soft coal operators is identical word for word, except where the term bituminous is substituted for anthra- cite. with one President Mitchell pre- sented to the hard coal operators here yesterday.
 There was considerable speculation as to how the miners leader would re- ceive his own proposition for arbitra- tiOn, but he maintained his usual si- lence when asked what he would do Within an hour of the receipt of the offer from J. H. Winders. head of the Ohio soft coal operators, he sent a reply to the effect that he mad nc power to act on the proposition. but would submit it to the international executive board of the union at its meeting at Indianapolis week after next MT. Mitchell was asked what he thought of MT W1nder's literary ability. and he jokingly replied that ne admired it very much"
 Leaders of the miners who were al the headquarters today did not think the International executive board would favor the proposition. A mem Der of the board said conditions in the soft coal regions are much different from those in the anthracite regions He pointed out that many operators had already signed the 1903 scale and that the number is increasing each day.
 Nothing developed in the anthracite situation today to clearly indicate what the outcome of next Monday meeting between the subcommittees of the mine workers and operators would be. There was no formal meeting of the operators, but most of them were m communication with one another It was reported during the day tn. the arbitration offer of the miners would be flatly refused. but it was de nied by those in authority that a final decision had been reached. It was also reported that the operators may ac- cept arbitration. but with a different sort of a tribunal.
 President Mitchell today concerned himself almost exclusively with busi- ness connected with the soft coal situ- ation and mad no information to inn part regarding the hard coal miners He said his side had nothing tO do now but wait for the operators an swer. It has practically been settled that if the operators refuse the arbi- tration offer, a call will go out at once for convention.

Objection is Made to the Defects in the Measure At tempt at Remedyng Them Having Been Made so far in Its Consideration.

Washington, April 6.-In making an effort to get the senate to agree upon q date for taking a vote on the railroad rate bill MT.

 During the day there were three speeches on the rate bill. The first O. these was made by MT. Elkins who. while expressing the opinion that the situation demands legislation, indicat- ed many defects in the pending bill NIT. Gamble followed in support of the bill and MT. Kean closed the opposition

AERIAL FIRE
 IN PORTLAND
The Eighth Story of a
 Building Destroyed
A Prominent Railroad Man haddened by FrishI Jumped to His Death--A Spectacular Rescue.

Portland, Ore, April 6.-The most spectacular fire which ever occurred in Portland destroyed the eighth story of the Chamber of Commerce build ing this afternoon and was the indi- rect cause of the death of Homer Fl Hallock right of way agent or ths Willamette Traction company Mr HallSck, who was one of the best known railroad men in the northwest was in the Commercial clube when the fire occurred He seems to have be come suddenly mad. and despite the cf- forts of several men. who strove to re strain him. he jumped down the light well onto the roof in the central cour- eight stories below. and was instantly killed.
 The property loss is estimated at Sl00,0 900. partly covered by Insurance. The building was recently purchased by the United Railways company fo- S75O. 900.
 The fire broke out in the parlor of the Commercial club from an uuknoy.-n cause though it is said the careless throwing of a lighted match into some tapestries was responsible for the con flagration. The fire spread with won derful rapidity causing a panic among the 100 employees of the three hundred offices which are in the building \ rush was made for the elevators and for the stairways and fire escapes with which the building is equipped The upper works of the elevators weie burned out almost before the fire bells stopped sounding. anS the panic stricken peaople congested on tls.- stairs and fire escapes.
 Unable to escape by the usual means of egress about fifteen men and wom on crept out through the windows ;ntB the wide cornices where they await ed rescue. Suffocating smoke swe.. over them and it was momentarily cx peCted that some would be overcome by smoke and heat before the fircmeI could reach them. When all had ap- parenty been rescued by means of eN- tension ladders a mans head pe-TinE far over the edge of the cornice of the roof was discovered through the smoke and fire once more ascending to the perilous height. IL was found that the ladders were too short to reach this victim and another ladce- had to be spliced on before the fir.s- men could reach him.
 When they finally did so. he was in a state of colalpse. When the firCmcn reached him. a tremendous cheer arnss from the thousands Of spectators. The subject of this spectacular rescue was Tom Richardson. manager of the Com mercial club. who had his private of- flee in the tower of the building.
