Montpelier, April 6--Mrs Lanors
Whittier of Hyde PARK who through
her struggle in, the courts to retain her
daughter Ada Mcfarland, was in the

G II Senter, her attorney, returning

She told a reporter that her daugh-
ter's return had not relieved her po-
sition on the charge of abducting the
child under which charge she is now
under bonds. Mrs Whittier said her
daughter became dissatisfied with F H
Mcfarland, the father, and ran away
without the knowledge of the mother
whose first intimation of her where
abouts was conveyed to her about
1890 a. IN. on Wednesday by neigh
Dor named Blake coming to the house
where Mrs Whittier was stopping and
rousing the inmates telling them that
Ada Mcfarland had come to his house
that night after wandering about
week and sleeping in barns.
Mr. Blake pitied the child who re-
fused to 90 back to her father but he
did not wish to get into trouble
through harbouring her.
Mrs Whittier said she had tried to
influence her daughter to return
to her iather's home as her mother
could not harbor her under the rul-
ing of the courts, That the girl re.
fused to 90 back and that the object OF
the mothers visit to this city was to
have her attorney unrayel the tangle.
She said she expectedMr Senter would

NEW YORK. April Interest in

gions is Oyershadowed by the prOposi-
ton that came out Of the west for the
arbitration Of the differences existing
between the soft coal operators who
have not yet agreed to the 1903 scale
and their miners
The offer of the soft coal operators is
Identical, word for word, except where
the term bitumInous is substituted for
anthracite, with the one President
Mitchell presented to the hard coal OPP
orators here. The receipt of the propo-
sltion caused quite stir, and there
was considerable speculation as TO how
the miners leader would receive his
own arbitration plan for another field.
He was much interested in the news,
but maintained his usual silence when
asked what he would do
Within an hour Of the receipt of the
offer from J II. Windcr, the head of
the Ohio soft coal operators, he sent a
reply to tho effect that he had no pow
er to act on thc proposition hut would
submit it 10 the international executive
board of the uuiun al its meeting in
indianapolis week after next Mr.
Mitchell was asked what he thought of
Mr.. Winder'S literary ability, and he
jokingly replied that he admired il
very much
Leaders of the miners union who
were at headquarters did not think the
international executive board would
favor the proposition A member OF
the board said that conditions in the
soft coal regions are much different
from those in the anthracite fields. He
pointed out that many operators had
already signed the 1903 scale and that
the number is increasing each day
Nothing developed I'm the anthracite
situation TO clearly indicate what the
outcome of next Mondays meeting be
tween the subcommittee of the mine
owners aud the union leaders will be.
II was reported that the arbitration
offer of the miners would he fatty re

authority that final decision had been
arrived at Ii was also reported that
the operators may accept arbitration
but with different sort Of a tribunal
President Mitchell said his side has
nothing 10 do now hut wait for the op-
orators answer II has practically
been settled that il the operators re

President Roosevelt has received Il
telegram from John II Wnder at Co
