ness to Continue Work. -.
Philadelphia, April 3.-Reports re-
ceived from the anthracite coal fields
state that the order of the miners
scale committee directing that mining
be. suspended until an agreement
could be reached with the operators is
being obeyed almost to the man. In
all three districts preparations were
made by the operators for a resump-
tion of work. Whistles were blown at
the regular hour and everything was
in readiness for the men to go to work,
but there was no response by the min
ers and the day took on holiday
aspect. Firemen, engineers and pump
men, who are not affected by the sus-
pension order, reported as usual.
That a great many miners believe
that a strike is imminent and that
there will be bitter struggle be-
tween the worl1men and their employ
ers was evidenced by the, departure of
scores of miners from the Schuylkill
region. A majority of these men are
foreigners, who will go to their homes
in Europe and there await the out
come OF the pending strife.
Hopeful of an Agreement.
In the Lackawanna district there is
a feeling among the more conserva-
tive miners that an agreement will be
reached at the New York conference,
but others are less hopeful and are
prepared for long siege.
The only colliery in the Luzerne-
Wyoming district which attempted to
work, as far as has been reported, was
the Hazelton shaft of the Lehigh Val
ley company. Coal which had been
loosened last week was run through
the breaker for about an hour, after
which the men withdrew from the
shaft and returned to their homes.
At many of the collieries in this dis
trict the mules were taken from the
mines, thus indicating that no effort
would be Immediately made to resume
mining.

adopted in 1900. This law changed the
method of taxing railroad and kindred
corporations from the old system of
exacting the payment of a certain per
cent of their gross earnings to an ad
yalorem system, providing for the Ak
ing of the tax value of the railroads on
the average value at which other prop
erty in the state is assessed. The
taxes levied against the various rail-
roads of the state for 1902, the first
year after the new law went into eff
feet, aggregated $744,89S, as against
s263,446, the amount which would
have been called for under the old
system.
Decision Involves Sc, ,o0o,o
The railroad companies rendered the
latter sum and resisted the payment
of the difference, amounting to $4S1,
451. Each year since the companies
have refused to pay the differences, so
that the suits involved an accumula
ton Of about $2,O0O,o0O in, taxes, as
well as the establishment of a tax sys-
tenn for the state permanently fixing
their annual payments at about three
times as much as they have been in
the past. The railway companies con-
tended that in arriving at cencl,1-
sion as to the valuation of their prop
erty the state board of assessors un-
dervalued other property in the state
and thus Disseminated against the:
railroads. Hence they claimed that
the action was in contravention of the
fourteenth amendment to the national
Constitution. The circuit court dis.
missed the bill of the railroad COM
pan1es, thus sustaining the action of
the state tax authorities and uphold
ing the law under which it was taken,
and it's decision was affirmed

st. Petersburg, April 3.-The elec-

ST. Petersburg proper were held Sun
day, preceding the elections to the
municipal convention here, which in
turn will elect six members to the
lower house OF parliament. The bal
loting of the workmen, however, was
almost a complete farce, as were the
elections a fortnight ago in the bigger
factories outside the city. Out of sixty
seven establishments the workmen of
twenty-nine boycotted the elections
and of the remainder only the minor
ity voted and of those elected about
one-half were Constitutional Demo-
Gratis and the other half Conserva-
tives, or members of the BLACK Hun
dred," as they are now popularity
termed. One man elected is now in
prison and another declined to accept
election for fear that it would subject
him to persecution.
