 of Names of DoIan and BeIlingham
 Who Wanted to Accept Operators
 Terms at Recent Convention.
 Indianapolis, March 15.-Little was accomplished to-day by the special na- tional convention of the United Mine Workers of America beyond organiza- tion and appointment of committees. President Mitchell delivered his address, in which he explained the reasons for calling the meeting and counselled con- servative procedure in the effort to pre- sertve peace in the coal-mining indus try
 During the morning session applause greeted the credential committees re- port, which omitted the names of Pat rick Dolan and Uriah Bellingham, of District No. 5, western Pennsylvania, as delegates from that district.
 No miscellaneous business was brought before the convention and an early adjournment was taken, after Chairman O'Connor had announced a meeting of the scale committee and President Mitchell had called a special meeting of the international executive board to consider the appeal of Patrick Dolan and Uriah Bellingham from the decision of President Mitchell in regard to their right to retain the offices of president and vice-president of District No. 5.
 The international executive board of the United Mine Workers this evening, following session of the national con- vention, approved the finding of Presi- dent Mitchell in the busting of Patrick Dolan from the presidency of District No. B. western Pennsylvania.
 After a heated session lasting three hours, in which Dolan's claims were ar- gued by himself and by Uriah Belling- ham, vice-president of the district, who was also busted from his office, the board voted unanimously to sustain the action of the president and the district convention.

LINER KONICIN LUISE
 IN IMMINENT PERIL
BIG NORTH GERMAN LLOYD STEAMER AT MERCY OF
 TERRIFIC STORM.

The Same That Sent the British storm
 King to the BOttOm-With 300 Pas-
 sengers Aboard and Waves Running
 Unusually High She is Tossed About
 Like the Veriest PIaything-Strain
 So Great That Rudder Stock Is
 BrOken-Finally Limps Into Halifax
 Halifax, N. S., March 15.-After hav- ing been helpless for hours through the breaking of her rudder stock in the tremendous seas kicked up by the same gale which sent the steamer British King and eighteen men to their doom last Sunday, the North German Lloyd line steamer Konigin Luise, New York for Italian ports with three hundred passengers on board, arrived here to- day for repairs.
 The steamer left New York five days ago and on her way northward was overtaken by a typical North Atlantic storm, which rapidly reached hurricane proportions, The waves ran unusually high, tossing the big steamer like the yeriest plaything. On Tuesday the strain of the continued buffeting broke the stock of the rudder at point where it runs up through the deck, leaving the vessel at the mercy of the elements.
 For hours the vessel rolled frightful- ly, but, working desperately, and fre- quently buried in the tons of water that constantly poured over the ships decks, the crew rigged jury gear by tackles fixed to the rudder chains from port and starboard side This brought the vessel under slight control, and de- spite her continual falling off before the ceaseless hammering of the waves the Lulse was brought safely into this port
 Besides the three hundred passengers the Konigin Luise carried general cargo of considerable value The steamship. will remain here until re- pairs are completed, which will cause delay of one week,

VOTED AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
First Revolt Among the Labor Members
 of Parliament.

London, March 15.--In the house of commons, sitting as a committee of supply on army estimates, to-day, Ma- jor Seeley OiberaD moved a reduction of the army by 10000 men. Former Premier Balfour, in opposing the mo- ton, said the purpose of the army was for the defense of India, for there alone Great Britain had great land frontier. Although he hoped that the progress of social events in Russia would enable Great Britain to have a good under standing with that country, Great Brit ain had to prepare against unforeseen emergencies which might discourage friendly relations.
 Mir. HaIdane, secretary of war, would not commit himself to a definite scheme, he said, until he had time to work one out.
 Major Seeley's motion was rejected by vote of 296 to 56. The division re- vealed the first revolt of the labor mem- bers against the government, the ma- jority of the fifty-six votes in the nega- tive being composed of radicals and la borites.

SIGNALS WRONGLY READ.
Mistakes on Steamer British King Els,
 All Might Have Been snved

Mistakes on Steamer British King Elnc
 All Might Have Been Saved
 New York, March 15.-An account of how the steamer British King was fol- lowed the day before she sank by the steamer Mannheim, vainly fiuttering signals, which if they had not been mis- taken by the British King would have saved the ives which were lost last Sunday 15O miles south of Sable island, was given to-day by Captain Andrew Schau of the Mannheim.
 This steamer arrived lere to-day With eleven survivors of the lost ship. Satu- urday afternoon, Captain Schau said twenty-four hours before the disaster he sighted the laundering steamer and signalled it's captain to stop his engines in order that boats from the Mann helm might be able to oyertake the steamer and rescue the crew. But the. tempest which later sent the ship to the bottom seemed to have conspired against the British King. Through the masses of spray and the great waves the signal which was sent "stop" was read "stop on board" The latter signal means don't leave the ship. Had the British Kings engines been stopped then Captain Schau said, his boats could have saved the ill-fated crew be- cause the storm was not as bad as il became later. He said that before the steamer took it's last plunge he saw seamen leaping overheard to avoid be- ing drawn down in the suction.
