BY TUG Three Lives Lost in
 East River. FOG OF IT
The Tug Ran Blindly Among Ship ping and Stove Holes in Vessels Besides Cutting
 One in Two.

New York, Feb 13.-At least three lives are believed to have been lost i'll the East river today, when one vessel was cut completely in two and two others had holes stove in them by d tug-boat which was running blindly in fog and rammed into shipping at the foot of East Twenty-first street, Man hattan.'
 Immediately after the accident river pilots nearby heard mems voices in the river crying for help. Because of the fog rescuers were unable to locate the source of the cries, which became more faint, until they ceased altogether. One of the witnesses to the accident said that he heard woman's screams min gled with those of men in cries for help. Several hours later the police had been unable to ascertain that any one was rescued from the water near East Twenty-first street by boats run ming on the river at the time of the ac- cident.
 The loss of life is believed to have occurred from the hay barge Eastern of the Lehigh, Valley railroad, on which it is known that at least three members of the, crew were in the habit of sleeping every night. The hay barge was moored at the dock as usual last night and was lying there when the tug-boat Ganego of the Lehigh Valley rammed her. Ill backing away the tug disappeared from view in the fog and was not seen again by those on shore. A gaping hole had been ripped in the side of the barge. She broke into two sections as soon as the tug pulled it's nose out of the wreckage. One of these sections sank immediate ly, while the other turned bottomside up and fioated away in the tide. The force of the collision threw the barge against heavy lighter, staving hole in the hull of that craft, and knocked away part of the forward rigging of the schooner James A. Garfield.
 When daylight came a wrecking crew was sent to the spot where the accident occurred to search for the bodies of those believed to be drowned.

WANT A SUNDAY
Traction Employees of Chicago Talk ing for One Day Off
 Each Week.

Chicago, Feb 13.-Employes of the traction lines in Chicago began an agl- tation yesterday to secure a week with Sunday in it.' As rule the men now work seven days week. Oc. casionally they are allowed twenty-four hours rest in a fortnight, but such a vacation is irrgular. The union has de- clared the system to be unsatisfactory.
 When the existing agreements with the companies expire May 1, the de- mand for one day of each week is likely to constitute one of the chief points of dispute.
 Between 10000 and 12,000 street car men are interested in the weekly day off agitation. They comprise 90 per cent or more of the employees on the surface lines.

CONFERENCE IS ON
Representatives of Anthracite Mine Districts Working On De-
 mands of Operators.

New York, Feb 13.-The sub-commit- tee of six, made up of the presidents and secretaries of the three anthracite mine districts, continued their confer ence today with relation to the frain- ing of a set of demands to be presented to the operators Thursday Although the scale committee has been at work for a week in an endeavor to draw up the propositions they wish to present. to the operators, there still remains much to be done. The committee has in it's hands very large number of resolutions and petitions from the local unions, each asking for the correction ,of some difficulty. Some of these have been rejected, while others have been adopted ill various fOrms While the scale committee has decided on the main points, there are still some minor grievances on which they have not agreed. These are of no great impor- tance, however, and. according to the district officers, will be disposed of without causing any friction.
 The subcommittee probably will be in session all day. After it has con cluded it's work 1t will make report to the full committee of thirty-tiye men. This probably will not occur until tomorrow. as some of the mem- bers of the scale committee will not arrive here until late tonight.
 Pending the conclusion of the work of the subcommittee President Mitcll- ell devoted the greater part of the day to the routine work of the national or ganization.
 William Little, a member of the In- ternational executive board, and Ed ward Mckay, national organizer, both of whom belong ill the Pittsburg district. arrived here to-day in response to telegram from President Mitchell. They went at once into conference with the national president. Beyond saying that he had summoned them to discuss conditions in the Pittsburg district Mir Mitchell declined to say why he called them to New York.

NEGOTIATIONS GOING ON.
No Chance for an Agreement Between
 France and Germany.


 Beiin. Feb 13.-Some exchanges of suggestions between this and other governments regarding the AIgeciras negotiations are proceaiing, although there Ia really no expectation of au agreement. Both France and Germany have taken up seemingly unyieiding positions Frsnce for a general man dste in Moroccan affairs. and German, for combined administration by all the interested powers. The view of the German foreign office is that if Farnce intended 10 insist on a pura- mount position In Morocco. why did she take part in the conferpnce? If Germsny should nov aeree to give over Norocco to France. the efforts of years would be fruifless and a long period of unrest in European affairs It is believed would begin. rhe issue Of vhich 10 one ventures to predict.

Peuasy to Pay Sash.
It was announced at headquarters
yesterday that when the employees of
the Pittsburg division Of the Pennsyl-
vania receive their pay next month It
will be in cash instead Of by check,
which system has been in vogue ever
since the completion Of the division.
The tImehonOred custom Of paying by
checks has caused some: inconyeni.
ence to the railroad men, and the cash
system has heen tried on some Of the
branches, 10 the utmost satisfaction
Of both officials and the men. The
payment Of cash will require the
Pennsylvania to get upwards Of ST.
100000 in ready money each month to
meet the pay roll. 1t is estimated that
the total number Of men to be az
fected by the change viii be about 22J'
900. The reason assigned for the
change is to simplify the work. In
the accounting and auditing depart
ments it has been found that many
Of the checks issued to employees have
not been promptly turned in, some
times being held out for a month at
a time. It is partially on account OF
the large number of foreigners EN-
ployed, who cannot handle checks as
well as cash. This system has been
in effect on the Pennsylvania lines
west for some time, and the men gen
orally favor IT.
