Almshouse Inmates Suffered While the
Board Drank Wine.

Albany, n. y, Feb. GA fresh scan
dial in a public institution has been re-
vcaled in the acathing report Of the com.
mittee on almshouses Of the state board
Of charities, made public yesterday. The
report is the moro significant because
il affects a NewbTg institution, and
the mention Of Newburg is always
fraught with meaning politically.
The cause Of the investigation, which
eliminates ii the report, waa the death
Of little boy Of Z years Of age under
circumstances approaching criminal
neglect,
II Is n striking contrast to such fact
TO learn by the reports Of the commit.

only prohted BY commissions in goods

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb 6.-The dis

| This committee comprises the three ais.
trlet boards, and from II win be select.
ed a committee of ten to place the de-
lnands before the operators at the Joint
conference to be held in New York on
Feb. is.
While the general demands OF each
district will be for an eight hour day,
recognition of the union and a revised
cancellation board, each district will also
present requests for the equalization of
wages paid in its Mines. There are a
number of complaints that in many
eases wages are not 10 per cent. more
than they were in 1902, when President
Rooscvelt's strike commission granted a
lio per cent. increase.
President Mitchell is not expected here
until the end of the week, and then the
demands will be presented to him. He
will head the committee which waits
upon the operators.
Mining continues steadily, as it has
done all winter, despite the mild wealth
cr and the dull market, and the fear Of
4 strike will, 1t Is expected, create d
brisk dcmsnd from now on. as dealers
and heuseholders will stock up in or
der to be prepared in case strike oc-

The operators have not vet shown
their hand, but there is general be.
lief that they win ask for continuation
Of the present scale, as their contention
all along has been that when the awsrd
Of the strike commission was made
rate Of wages was fxed that was suited
to the conditions at that time and that
the conditions have not materially
changed since then, 50 that an increase
in wages or decrease in the hours Of
labor would, In their opinion, be I'm.
justified. As to the recognition OF the
union, they are a unit In opposing it

hare already granted. They are perfect

arbitration beard to settle disputes, and
would no doubt consent to modification
Of the board of Cancellation that would
permit Of more speedy settlement Of
all cases in dispute.
1t il certain that although the miners
here are anxious to secure some advance
in their present rate Of wages they do
not desire q strike. The question is as
to how much of their demands they
win give up in order to avoid a strike
and how far they will 20 in the support

FOR LONG STRIKE.

Operators, miners and state author.
ties arc preparing for the greatest strike

United Mine Workers lay down their

Today what will probably be the stor-
miest meeting the miners organization

because Of his vote at the indianapolis
conference last week, in defiance Of his
instructions, given him by his eonstiu.

a former member Of the United States
army, United States navy or the Ma.
tional Guard, and 1t will be armed and
ready by April ! to patrol the danger
points where the strikers threaten prop.
erty or persons. It is expected that
1t win be unnecessary to call out the
National Guard to protect property, as
has been the case in the coal strikes of
the last two. decades.
John Mitchell, il Is believed, has been
carried away by the radical element,
headed by Tom 4. Lewis Of Ohio and
d. Ryan Of Illinois. and these men will
be the real leaders in tho strike.
The anthracite operators have stored
millions of tons Of coal in eastern Penn.

il is the intention of the operators Of
the east To maintain prices eauitably

tho public satisfied, as It IS the inten.
ton to break up the miners union rather
than make any money out Of the fight.

quet Of theater in New York when ]
noticed q young lady in box in the
second tier looking at me. When ]
fixed my eyes upon her she turned hers
away, but when few minutes later
looked at her again saw that she was
regarding me through lorgnette. She
lowered her glass and turned away
with look which indicated either re-
pulsion, disappointment or pain. II
might have been any Of these but !
could not tell which.
Ny curiosity was at once aroused. /
did not remember to have ever seen
the lady before and certainly had no
knowledge Of having injured her. Be
fore the close Of the last act left the
theater and stood on the sidewalk
waiting for her to come out. She did so

1t is needless TO say that read these
few words with astonishment IL was
plain to me that had been mistaken

is because the men and women whom

Algcciras, Spain, Feb. 6.--The French
delegation at the Moroccan conference
was reinforced yesterday morning by
the arrival Of Count ST. Rene ITALIAN

Fee during the Franco German crisis last
summer.
Count Taillandier came over on the
French cruiser Lalande from Tangier
and joined NJ. Revolt. the head Of the
French mission Later the count had
talks with Ambassador White and other
delegates. His presence is believed to
have something 10 do with the private
discussions now going on between the
delegates on The main Franco. German
issues. Although the conference is not
meeting formally, private conferences
are constantly proceeding.
The ambassadors say the outlook con-
tinues hopeful, but they admit that the
efforts OF the disintercsted powers are
not yet resulting in securing an exact
basis for accord. The German delegates
declare that the reports that they are
not in favor Of q moderate policy are
unwarranted and that it is they who
are most DESTROYS Of Cancellation. The
French, however, insist that the Germans
maintain an attitude which is somewhat
lacking in preciseness.
