circulating freely In Havana and even
conterring with the members Of the

as agreeable TO an amiable settlement,

Is known that Cienfugoes was not at

All accounts agree that there are cas-
ily three thousand insurgents few

are rumors that they will enter the city

lieved, however, that no attempt will

plying especially to cienfuegos, where
the British own the Cuban Central rail-
road which has been compelled to sus-
pend operations and has suffered con-
siderable damage to its property. Three
representatives Of the Liberal party
started eastward today to confer
with the insurgents in Santa Clara and
other eastern provinces. Several au-
tomobiles loaded with more or less an-
thorized peacemakers went westward,
but were compelled to return, not hav'
ing either government passes or creden-
tials for definite negotiations. Alfredo
Zayas, president Of the Liberal party,
moved freely about the city today and
even visited the Palace where he held
conference with Secretary Montalvo,
relative to means OF secuing peace.
Zayas told the Associated Press that
he was hopeful of the outcome, although
nothing like definite basis for an
agreement had yet been considered.

six or eight hours today more than 200
men, women and children were cut of
from the mainland, In imminent dan
ger Of peril, while cottages, hotel and
railroad property were damaged to the
extent Of $4,000 by fierce storm,
which swept Wrightsyille Beach, nine
miles east OF here, today. Early risers
received the first intimation Of danger,
when awakening this morning they
found breakers sweeping clear across
the beach to the sound and rolling high
up on the mainland two miles beyond.
Five trolley cars brought number Of
persons across the sound on the tres
tie, while the waves swept the trestle.
This gave way Immediately after the
last car had reached the mainland. The
storm increased until noon when the
rescue work began. The surf boats
were sent across tine channel at great
risk and the people were all rescued by
5 o'clock this evening. Other points
along the beach report some damage to
houses and shipping. The Clyde liner

After conversing with the attorneys
the court stated that they might ap-
pear in chambers at o'clock with
their requests.
ut is work of importance to pre-
pare instructions in any case, and
especially in a criminal case," said his
honor. The court does not like to
be hurried unduly. Furthermore, this
is not an ordinary case. There has not
been one exactly like it in the his
tory of this county. BY crOwding, it
might be possible to have the instruc-
tons ready by o'clock, but the court
feels that it mas no right to limit the
argument in a capital case, SO that it
could not be concluded before 9 or 10
o'clock at night. The court does not
like to hurry a matter of this kind,
nor to send the jury out at 10 or II
o'clock at night. Gentlemen of the
jury. we don't want to lose any of
you, and we want you to be careful
about your health until 10 o'clock
Monday morning. to which hour you
will be excused
Judge Cheadle admonished the jury
to be especially careful about talking
at all about the case, or reading of it.

EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS

Continue With Interest at First Pres
byterian Church.
1t has been demonstrated that men
will listen to the gospel of the Naza-
rene when it is presented fOrcefully
and in the right spirit. Lewistown has
perhaps never seen a religious gath
ering of men equal to the one which
greeted Evangelist Atkinson last Sun
day afternoon at the Presbyterian
church. The main room was crowd
cd even to the platform when the not
ed divine made his plea to men for a
white life, such as they might wish
to see in mother and sister.
The meetings are continuing every
afternoon and evening with great in
terest. The evening topics for this
week are as follows:
Tonight, "Sin Will Out; Wednesday
night, Jesus, the Savior" Thursday
night, "The objectionable Sim; Fri
day night, "The Call of Distress"
Evening meetings are at 1880; after
noon meetings. at 3.
The impression of the meetings is
deepening all the while. They are
announced to continue for this week
and next. The moonlight evenings
will probably bring more people from
the country. The audiences are about
as representative of all classes and
creeds as any that have ever been
drawn tigether in Lewistown. The So
los of Mr.. Atkinson and the singing
OF the congregation continue to be
features of the meetings. The SER
mons are fine examples of sane evan
gelism. Nothing is sensational, but
everything seems to be with power
and sweetness. Those who have not
heard Mr. Atkinson are missing rare
privilege.

GREAT STRIKE
NOW EXPECTED
ALL UNION COAL MINERS TO
WALK OUT ON APRIL
FIRST.

indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 5.-One of
the most dramatic scenes ever wit
messed in national convention of the
United Mine Workers of America was
the final adjournment of that body
this afternoon after the dissolution of
the joint conference of operators and
miners of the central and southwest
ern districts, and after the national
convention had administered sting
ing rebuke to Patrick Dolan. of Penn
sylvania. for transgressing one of the
fundamental laws of unionism, in vot-
ing contrary to his instructions for an
increase of wages.
When the lusty voices of the min
ers mingled in the singing of "Amer-
ica' had hushed. an oppressive 81.
lence fell upon the assembled dele
gates, and as President John Mitch
ell slowly pronounced the words which
adjourned the seventeenth annual
convention without day, thus dissolv-
ing every hope of averting a gigantic
industrial war without the interven.
ton of some unexpected and powerful
influence, the miners marched out of
the hall, their faces set with grim
determination which showed the stead
fastness of purpose which has mark
ed the history-making session Just
closed
One Half Million Men.
The apparent determination of both
operators and miners indicates that
neither will make overtures for furth.
err negotiations and unless some infln-
ence not now foreseen steps into the
breech, $4,000 men controlled by the
United Mine Workers will walk out
of the mines in every section of the
country on April T.
There have been intimations that
two agencies-the president of the
United States and the National Civic
federation-may be appealed to to
set in motion negotiations to rehab
ilitation of the joint state agreement
or at least discussion of some posi-
BILE means of bringing the operators
and miners together for further nego
tiations.
So far as known however. there is
! nothing upon which to base an asser
ton that either the president or the
Civic federation have decided to offel
their services
Perhaps the most significant state
/ ments made by President Mitchell dur
ms any session of the present con
ventiOn were those made this after
noon first in his admonition to al
the miners that each individual make
preparations to establish a strike funt
which will make each miner self-sus

length of time: and again, when, il

who wished to be enlightened as tt

tiOns shall be answered"
During an interview this Afternoon

some of the phases of the situation
"Never in the history of this coun

FIRST AMERICAN THEATERS.
"Merchant Of Venice" Was Produced
AWAY Back in 1852.


William Hallam has been called the
father of the American stage, title
he does not deserve, inasmuch as he
was merely the hacker of the enter
prise that his brother Lewis was to
manage. writes David Belasco in Sue
cess Magazine. The same William
Hallam was the manager of the Good
man Fields theater, in London. where
David Garrick made his debut, in 1741.
We are told that the first permanent
American company was formed on tine
sharing plan. The number of shares
was fixed at IS. There were IL adult
perfirmers, including the manager,
and each performer was allowed a
share. Lewis Hallam had another
share as manager, and share was
allowed to his three children. the re.
naming four shares being for the
profit of the hacker for the use of his
money. A company willing to agree
to the terms was enlisted. the plays
were selected and the parts were as
signed The pieces chosen were those
that We're most popular on the Lon
don stage at that time, and many of
them continued to be played by the
American company from 1852 down to
the revolution.
At Williamsburg. in the Virginia
colony. on September S. 1882 Lewis
Hallam produced, for the first time
in America, "The Merchant of Ven
ice" The building which was used
for theater was in the suburbs of the
town, and it is said that it stood SO
near the woods that the manager often
stood in his door and shot pigeons for
dinner There was no orchestra for
this occasion, but Mr. Pelham, who
gave lessons on the harpsichord in the
town. was engaged with his instru
ment to supply the music. The per
Torrance began with a prologue. As
it was the first composition that is
preserved written for and addressed
to an American audience, it is look
ed upon today as curiosity.

RAILWAY RATE BILL.
Senate Committee Will Vote on II Feb
ruary IS.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Railroad rate
legislation will be voted on by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce on February Is. An agreement
to take final action at that time on
all the measures pending before the
committee was reached today. The
differences of the opposing factions
have narrowed down to the court fea-
lures of the bill, but these present
variance admitted to be fatal to a
harmonious committee report. They
may be summarized in this PROPOSE
ton:
Whether there shall be a specific
provision for review by the United
States courts of orders of the inter-
state commerce commission establish
ing rates before such orders become
operative. On this question rests the
fate of the favorite issue of the presi-
dent, as submitted to congress in his
annual message The Hepburn bill
before the house does not contain this
provision in direct terms. This bill
meets with the approval of the admin
istration. The supporters of the
measure, as well as of the Dolliver-
Clap BILL which is built on similar
lines, contend that common carriers
have the same rights as other persons
and can go into thee curtis and secure
an injunction against an order of the
commission, and that there is no oc-
casion to enact into law something
that is already provided for by exist
ing statutes.
The opposition forces, which call
themselves the conservative element,
hold that without the specific provis.
ion demanded by them the interstate
commerce commission will be all-pow'
erful. They take the stand that a
common carrier should not be com

measure. each one of which represents
different view. Whether these d.
vergent views can be resolved, and
the measure practically as it stands
enacted into law or not, remains yet
to be determined. Secretary Taft, who
Is a staunch advocate of the bill,
has let it to be understood that no
compromise involving an increase of
the tariff rates on Philippine sugar
and tobacco imports over the Is per
cent rate provided in the measure,
Will be accepted, If his views are to
be considered.
