Ply to be made on Monday to the sub.
committees of the Shamokin scale COM
mittee of the miners At it's conclusion
II was announced the operators would
meet again on Monday prior to the
joint session with the representatives
of the workers. That the operators will
have some sort of counter plan for the
arbitration proposed by President Mitch
ell is generally believed, but no intima-
ton of its character can be had.
President Mitchell remained at the
miners headquarters throughout the
day. Most of the district leaders have
gone to their homes over Sunday.

During the discus sion of the postoffice
bill Foster OF Verm ont pronounced him
self in favor Of increased pay for rural
carriers. but owing TO the deficit in the
Postoflce Department he saw no help for
the carriers at this time. He thought The
deficit was largely traceable to the
amount Of frankable matter being sent
out by the other departments Of the Gov
eminent. If this were diminished, Foster
believed, the rural carriers could be given
an increase in pay.
Pou of North Carolina in discussing the
corrupt use of money in elections said
that life INSURANCE companies had stolen
the money which really belonged to wild

asked. 'The taking of this money was
morally stealing. 1t ought TO be given

did not need it,
Pou charged that great corporations
and trusts contributed money during the
campaign and then expected a guaran-
tee that no law hurtful to their inter
ests should be passed.

finds the mine workers stanch In the
support of Mitchell, with no signs of
Wavering. 1t cannot be said that the
optimistic views held by the mine
workers during the early part of the
suspension are so generally entertain
ed, but there appears to be no lack of
confidence in President Mitchelps judg-
ment
Reports from all sections of the hard
coal fields are to the effect that there is
little change in the situation. The COM
panles have made no effort to operate
their collieries. with the exception of the
Bellevue colliery at Scranton, which has
ABOUT 100 men at work. In some instances
preparations for resumption are said to
be in progress. In other cases the mules
have been taken out of the mines which
is regarded as an indication that a re-
lection, OF President MitchelPs arbitration
proposition is anticipated.
PITTSBURG, April HARMONY
again prevails in the bituminous coal
fields of Western Pennsylvania. The
action of the Independent coal opera
tors on following the lead of the Pitts
burg Coal Company has effectualIy
blocked the suspension of the mines
in this district and by Monday $4,000
men or more than 95 per cent of the
miners of District No. will have re-
sumed work
Out of eighty-one mines controlled
by the Pittsburg Coal Company only
one was idle today.
Independent operators representing a
tonnage Of more than 100000 tons and
employing over 5000 men today affixed
their signatures to the agreement These
operators will start their plants on Mon
day.
The situation in the Irwin and Johns
town fields is rapidly assuming harmoni-
Gus aspects. The trouble in both these
districts is practically caused by the eff
forts of the Miners Union to gain recog-
milton. The operators, while not sign
ing the 1903 scale, have agreed to its
provisions. The fields have been operated
non-union in the past. but recently union
organizers invaded the territory, starting
an agitation for recognition of union prin-
ciples.
The factienal fight in the Pittsburg
district miners organization is still un-
decided.
CLEVELAND, April THE Ohio coal
operators in session here today de-
cided to stand pat on the miners
strike and to offer no concessions what
ever.

HOTEL HORROR
VICTIMS BURIED
Fifty Bodies Taken From the
Ruins of Collapsed Build
ing at Nagold Are Inferred
DESTITUTION PREVAILS
Many of Those Killed Leave
Families Dependant On
the PUBLIC for Support

NAGOLD, Black Forest, South Ger
many, April 1.-The burial of fifty bodies
of those who persisted by the collapse Of
the Hotel Zum Hirschen Stag HoteD took
place today by twos and threes In order
that the three pastors who came from
neighboring villages might read the SER
vices by the graveside at each interment.
There is scarcely family in the village
which has not lost member.
Although the burials proceeded the
work among the ruins of the hotel. which
had been continued throughout the night
by the light of great torches cut in the
forest, went on today, special parties Of
workers from other villages coming. to
relieve those who were exhausted. One
more body was found this morning, but
the directors of the search affirm that 1t
Is impossible for any more dead or In
jured to be within the ruins. The search
is kept up to satisfy the families of three
missing persons whose relatives stand
outside the lines crying or imploring the
directors to continue the search, especial
ly as several persons who had been given
up for dead were found in the cellar pro-
tected by beams from hundreds of tons
of broken brick which were massed over
them. The landlord of neighboring
hotel, Herr Widmainer. fell through the
floor of the Stag Hotel and upon an oven
and was heard to cry out in anguish: Il
burn, I burnt He was found dead, his
back being roasted.
The method used in lacking up the
building which collapsed was called
American" and a slocal singing club
shortly before the calamity sang song,
celebrating this plan. written by Ma
gold poet.
The Mayor of Nagold when reproached
for allowing such crowds to assemble at
the hotel while 1t was lifted above its
foundation, cited the fact that the pre-
vious year, while a tavern at Altenstein,
in the Nagold Valley, was raised up in
the same manner a wedding occurred
there and not only was the hotel filled,
but the festivities included dancing. The
proprietor of the Altenstein tavern Is
among the persons injured by the de-
struction of the Stag Hotel.
The condition of some Of the wounded
persons is hopeless. On the arrival of
the Kings representative at the cemetery
this afternoon he made a brief address
in which he conveyed to the mourners
the royal sympathy.
The mortality was particularly high
among the workmen, many of, whom
leave families in a destitute condition.
A public subscription for their benefit is
being taken up.
The court has instituted preliminary
proceedings against Rueckgar. the con-
tractor, who is at home in Stuttgart, suf-
fering from wounds received In the col
lapse of the building.

tidy and presentable. The celebration,
which was a departure from anything
ever before attempted here, proved popu-
lar and the results are generally COM
mended. The tree planting, which is a
usual feature of Arbor day. was not neg
lected. About the Normal Square and In
many of the school yards trees. vines and
shrubbery were planted with suitable
formality All around the iron fence
