THAT sensational and circumstantial
story about Japanese spy sketching
Notifications at Manila seems to have
been a sheer invention of some anti
japanese lingo propaganda. 1t looks
like it, seeing that no such sketches
were made, no such Japanese existed,
and there was no such arrest.

PREMIER AND CABINET QUIT
Prince Conrad with OmciaI Family
Resigns Because of Customs
Tariff Differences.

VIENNA. May B.-Premier Prince Con-
rad Won ohe-schillingsfuerst and
cabinet have resigned because OF dissatis-
faction with the proposals for the settle
ment of the common customs tariff Of
Austria Hungary.
The prince says that yesterdays an
nouncement from the Hungarian side to
the effect thaht an agreement had been
reached was unfounded.
Count Won Condenhove, governor Of Bo-
hemia, has been summoned to Vienna. 1t
is regarded as probable that he will be
charged to form new ministry.
1t appears that after yesterdays council
the emperor received Or. Wekerle in pri-
vate audience and authorized him to an
nounce to the Hungarian Parliament his
majesty's consent to the common tarin
being henceforth called the autonomous
Hungarian tariff. When Prince Won
ohe-Schillingsfuerst learned of the
concession he summoned the ministers and
they all decided to resign.

MEAT INSPECTION MEASURE
President ROOsevelt COnfers with
Senators BeverIdse and Carter
ON Measure.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-An important
conference was held at the White House
today regarding the meat inspection amend
ment Of Senator Beveridge of Indiana TO
the agricultural appropriation bill.
The president discussed the question with
Senator Carter Of Montana and Prof.
Charles p. Neill commissioner of labor.
who Investigated certain packing houses
and later talked over the matter with SEN
ator Beveridge.
At the conclusion Of the conference SEN
ator Carter dictated the following state
ment bearing upon the presidents attitude:
The meat inspection amendment placed
on the agricultural bill has met with the
opposition of the packers and their triepds'
who seem to be bending every effort to
defeat il. The president says that " me
amendment is enacted into law he will be
content to remedy the evils complained OF
there through the law.
H. however the amendment is defeated,
he will feel constrained in the discharge
of his official duty to the public to send TO
congress the reports in his possession re-
lating TO the abuses existing in the packing
houses. He feels that IL Is better to re-
frain from making the reports public, not
through any regard for the beef packers
particularly, but by the thought that any
official statement OF the facts would injure
the stock raisers of the country, thus max
ing them innocent victims OF a line OF
abuses for which they were not primarily
In any sense responsible.
The only answer that can be made to the
consumers OF our meats at home and
abroad will be the enactment of a law
through which an efficient and sufficient in
spectiOn shall be made.
Senator Carter said that the packers have
asked for more time in which to consider
the amendment.
"One OF the principal questions which
they are considering." he said, 'is whether
they or the government shall pay for the
inspections. 1t seems foregone conclusion
that they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work"
Senator Beveridge points out that the ex
penHe will not exceed cents on a carcass
of beef and 3 cents on a carcass Of hog
While the aggregate of expense will b.
probably S1.50O,OOO year, it will be 81
widely distributed that it will not fall a.
a burden on the packers.

NO PRAISE FOR INDIVIDUALS
Personal COmme datiOn of Soldier
Heroes at san Francisco
VIII Not BE Made.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Army officers
and privates who played an important part
in fightinR the fire and relieving the starv-
ing and suffering in San Francisco will not
be singled out for special praise by the
War department. 1t is contrary to the
policy Of the army to mark a few men for
individual commendation, unless their serv-
ices be such that It demands instant recog-
milton.
Generals Funston and Greedy and their
associates were so busily engaged at the
time of the California disaster that they
had no time to pay attention to reports OF
heroic deeds by soldiers and to make rec
concentrations. The general praise OF the
troops and officers Of the army is believed
by the War department to be preferable
to an attempt at individual commendation
which might work injustice to many de
serving officers and men whose heroisn
was unknown to the department.

ILLINOIS COAL STRIKE ENDS
Operators Agree to Pay scale of Three
Years AEO-Miners make Ger
tain Concessions.

CHICAGO. May B.-Coal operators in
Illinois have decided to Yield TO the de-
mands of the miners for the scale OF 1908.
The question Of a settlement Is declared
to be matter OF detail and by the be-
ginning Of next week mining will be re-
sumed in Illinois with union men.
In return for the restoration of the 1905
scale OF wages the Illinois miners have
agreed to pay the wages OF shot firers and
to ask for the repeal OF the law by the
next legislature. They have agreed also
to indemnify the operators for the loss
sustained through the action Of pit com
mittees in calling unauthorized strikes
This latter grievance was one OF the most
serious objections the operators had
against the union. Under the new agree
ment the union will be responsible for the
conduct OF the miners and guarantee that
no such strikes will be permitted in the
future
At a conference here today between rep
resentatives Of the Ohio and Illinois
operators, the latter asked to be released
from their agreement not to settle with
the miners until settlement should be
reached also in Ohio and Indiana. The
request was granted, leaving the Illinois
operators free to settle with the union
miners. The scale committee OF the oper-
ators and miners will meet in Springfield
tomorrow and submit report to the joint
convention Wednesday, which will, 1t is
believed, end the long suspension.
The question of a settlement in Illinois
has been left by the miners to a commit
tee consisting OF President John ]. Mitchell.
Herman c. Perry, president of the Illinois
district, and w. d. Ryan, secretary OF the
district These officials with an equal
number of operators have agreed to the
terms OF peace and will recommend the
signing Of contract In the convention
Wednesday.
The strike has been in force since April
l and involved 5000 miners.
