FOREIGN MINERS GOING HOME.
Some Have saved Enough Money In Three
Years Of Coal Peace TO Retire.

WMKEsBARRE, March 3l.-Now that a
suspension of work at the anthracite col
lieries has been ordered the exodus Of the
non-English speaking workers from all
parts of the re gion is increasing with a rush
It is estimated that nearly 10000 have gone.
These men have saved much money in
the last three years. Inquiry Of the various
money changing companies shows that
the e miners have sent abroad amounts
ranging from 5000 to $50 900 in the last
month, and as there are several of these
agencies in each Of the towns the aggregate
will reach a large sun. The men who are
sending this money nave followed or are
preparing to follow it, A number will not
return, for with the money they nave saved
they will be able to buy a small farm in
their native place.
Those who go expecting to r. ! will
find work on the farms during the summer
and return here when the strike is over.
Italians, Slavs, Russians, Poles-all are
going, Scranton reports having sent 800
this month, Pittston close to 1000, Wilkes
barre and vicinity nearly 1000, Hazleton
800 or more, Pottsville over 1000, Shamokin
about 700, and all the smaller towns in pro-
portion. Duryea, which is the centre of a
mining population of about 10000, reports
having changed $50 900 for Russian money
in the last six weeks and declares that the
daily average is increasing.

CONFERENCE WILL BE FUTILE.
This Said to BE the Result OF q Conference
BetAeen Raer and Cassatt.

PHILADELPHIA, March 3l.-President
Baer Of the Reading system had a two
hour conference to-day with President
Cassatt Of the Pennsylvania system.
Although neither Of the coal presidents
would discuss the conference, it was learned
from officials of both roads that the situa-
ton is looked upon with the greatest appre-
hension. The meeting OF the operators
and Mitchell's committee, it was declared,
as the result Of the conference. will be
futile, go far as averting the strike is con-
cerned.
President Baer said that the Philadelphia
aud Reading Coal and Iron Company's
mines would be open on Monday for all
miners who wanted to work. There will
be no attempt made to mine coal in the first
few weeks OF the strike.
An advance Of IS cents over the standard
prices, making prepared sizes retail at 81
a ton and pea coal at 81 SO, was made in
some quarters to-day by local dealers as
a result Of the enormous demand of the last
few days. The rise in price was not general.
Big retail dealers said to-day that they
had reliable information to the effect that
the Pennsylvania and Lehigh railroads
were selling and confsoating coal about
the mines and in transit. They also as
serted that the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company was holding fast
to its surplus coal and refusing to fll long
handing Orde rs.

HENDRICK HUDSON LAUNCHED.
Largest and Finest Boat OF Her Class for
the Albany Day Line.

ia anes customs marked the launchin 4
Of the Hendriok Hudson Of the Albany Day
Line at Newburgh yesterday, As the steel
hull, the largest ever launched on the Hud-
son, slid down the ways amid the BLOWN q
OF whist les and booming OF big guns in the
dire cot Of West Point, three white doves
rose from the bows and circled away int o the
heavens, an offering to the goddess that
watches over the sailor and his ship in the
silent watches Of the night. But twice
before has this custom been observed In the
Fast. Both Of the previous occasions were
the launching of JAPANESE warships at
Cramps in Phila delphia.
A party OF several hundred men and
women. guests Of the line, left the foot Of
York promptly at IL 80 o'clock. The launch
ing was to take place at the loco of the tide
at 3 @ o'clock, and promptly on time Katharine
l.. Olcott, the nine-year-old daughter of the
president of the line, smashed a bottle Of
rare old Catskill spring water over the bowl
christening her Hendrick Hudson.
Standing on the platform was Charles H.
Hasweil, the first chief engineer of the
United States Navy, who worked with
Robert Fulton In perfecting the old Cler-
mont after her launching. He IL now 81
years old and Is assistant engineer Of the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment in
This city.
Tho new boat will be by many tons the
largest OF her class in the world. Frank +.
Kirby OF Detroit designed the general plans
for her hull and several OF the innovations
in her construction. She Is 400 feet over
all and so feet over the decks. Her hull is
"a feet deep. The familiar walking beam
has been done away with and the paddle
wheel shaft will be below decks. A doctor

DEFEND JlMP IN CO4L PRICES.
Dealers say the Increase In the Demand
Made the false Necessary.

The increase in the price Of domestic
anthracite decided upon by the Coal Mer-
chants Association went into effect officially
yesterday morning. although as a matter
Of fact most of the dealers anticipated this
action by raising the prices on Friday.
The price of domestic anthracite in Man
haitian il now the same as to consumers in
Brooklyn, but the dealers in the latter
borough will increase the prices still further
within the next few days.
Since a general soft coal strike does not
now appear likely, the dealers will not be
able to get a market for the small steam
sizes Of anthracite coal il the prices rise
beyond a certain limit, as soft coal is a
competitor Of the small steam sizes. Ac-
cording to the operators. improvements
nave been made at the washeries by which
they can get the small sizes out of the culm
heaps at the mines much more expeditiously
than during the last strike.
The rise in the price Of anthracite in
domestic sizes despite the statement by
the operators that they will not allow their
reserve to get into the hands Of spectators
was explained by the dealers yesterday
as being necessary on account OF the
enormous demand for domestic anthracite
in the last three weeks. This made it i'm
possible for the dealers TO accumulate large
stocks Of coal j. Samuel Smoot, com
missioner of the Coal Merchants Associa-
ton Of New York, made the following
statement yesterday regarding the necessity
for increased prices:
The dealers have for several weeks been
trying 10 take care OF their customer 3 in the
event OF a strike. but the wide public iy OF
the present strike made the customers equally
alert. SO that the de alers had no chance or
accommodating any great amount OF domestic
anthracite. Besides. freight rates have been
more than doubled and a great deal Of the
coal the dealers have been able to get loaded
was not in their pockets or Yards. but carried
in boats which had been loaded in some cases
for weeks. costing from 81 to S. per day de-
murrage. according 10 the size OF the boat,
II costs about a cent per ton per day to carry
coal in boats. so that II a boat-of coal was attoat
for two months IL would increase it, cost 10
cents per ton independent of Insurance.. in
terest on the money and other factors.
Another reason for the advance, he said,
was that, though the companies had not
advanced the prices, the dealers were not
able TO get an adequate supply and had
TO 10 outside to buy coal from independent
sources at higher than company prices.

SHORT Anthracite STRIKE.
Carroll ID. wright Looks for an Early Peace
-Ilames the Foreigners.

WORCESTER, Mass. March 3l.-Carrol
d. Wright, president of Clark College and
former Commissioners of Labor and head
of the Bureau Of Statistics, who has main
tanned right along that there would be no
coal strike, admitted in his lecture on strikes
to-day that his confidence had been shaken
by yesterdays developments,
II still believe that we shall nave no pro-
longed anthracite coal strike" said Col.
Wright. Intelligence is increasing and
will reduce all strikes to a minimum. You
note that a lot of coal miners are going back
TO Europe. Well, they do that every spring.
They are doing that again. 1t is nothing
new that shows a moral attitude on the
part of the strikers. The trouble is that
when they come back they bring their
friends here now
He added that there will not he such a
strike as that of 1902.
