Anthracite Workers Meet in Convention.
THE VOTE NOT YET TAKEN
Believed, However, It Will Be
 Practically Unanimous.
Mitchell Declares that Action of the state Constabuiary at Mount Carmel Has Aroused the
 Ire of the Miners.

Scranton. Pa. May 3.--Today's ses- ton was unproftable. except insofar as they revealed that the sentiment of practically all of the 500 delegates in attendance Is for a strike. Tonight 1t is believed that nothing abort of miracle can prevent a strike being de- clared, either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday. At the conclusion of the, af- ternoon session, President Mitchell made a statement, in the course of which he used the word strike" for the first time since the present negotfa- tions began. Here Is what he said to the newspaper men:
 There Is not much to say at this time. As was indicated while you were present at the opening of the af- ternoon session. the sentiment seems very strong against accepting the con- ditions and restricted arbitration sched- ule proposed by the operators or re- newing the award of the anthracits strike commission for a period of three years The strike feeling has been intensified by the unfortunate and un- justifable action of the State consta- bulary at Mount Carmel, as we'll as their conduct in other parts of the coal regions. Of course 1t cannot be stated positively until Friday afternoon or Saturday what the vote will be-"
 The morning session of the convsn- tion was purely formal. President Mitchell was loudly applauded when he entered. He was elected chairman. J. P Gallagher of District No. '. was chosen secretary.
 Mir. Mitchell Speaks.
 At the opening of the afternoon ses- aion, the Credentials Committee made It's report. which was adopted. Then Mir. Mitchell made a brief speech in lieu of the report of the joint scale nommittee. which report had been sent to the printers. He briefly reviewed the negotiations insofar as they have progressed. and said the committee had perhaps gone even further than it should have gone in endeavoring to bring about a peaceful settlement He told of the propositions made by both sides and then said:
 we have offered to arbitrate all the demands we made on them; in oth- CT words. we have offered to arbitrate differences between us. either through the board of coneillation with Judge Gray as chairman, or through the an- thracite strike commission We have made the reservation. however. that 1t must be a full commission, not part of 1t.
 That, gentlemen. Is the status of affairs at this time. and I am. sure T voice the sentiment of every member of the committee when I say that we regret that we have not been able to make a tentative agreement that would secure for you better wages and bet ter conditions of employment"
 The convention remained in execu- tive session until o'clock. when an adjournment was taken until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 As far as could be learned the dis cussion was purely general. Strike talk prevailed all through it.
 Mir. Mitchell denied tonight that nc had considered the matter of refer ring the entire question to a referen- dunn vote of the miners.

shn,r,a GoIh Reserye pIan.

Washington, May 8.-Secretary Shaw today conferred with members of the Senate Committee of Finance concerp- ing a measure he desires Congress to enact at this session, permitting the Treasury Department to hold in reserve S1e0. .OO0 OOO in gold bullion instead of $50.00C, ,00n as provided by the present law. The purpose is one of convenience end to give greater elasticity in the handling of the reserve fund It Is proposed however. that a provlsO be added that the excess above 50,00o.0 900 be coined as soon as practicable. The committee instructed the secretary to draft a bill in accordance with the views expressed at the conference. The Secretary immediately prepared the bill and later it was introducd by Senator Aldrich.

THE STRIKE IN FRANCE.
Outbreak Has ceased To Present Any
 General Menace.


 Paris. May 3,--The strike has ceased to present any general menace and Is now confined to scattered agitations which promise prolonged struggles in several industries. The explosion of a bomb which was being carried by two Russian anarchists has recalled atten- ton to the continued presence of d violent element despite the wholesale expulsion and arrests of the last few days. This leads the authorities to maintain precautionary police and mill tary patrols beyond the central and outlying districts. Squadrons of caval- ry are stationed in the Place de L'Opera and at the various town halls. but there is no further necessity to exercise fierce.
 Public attention Is now diverted to the elections to the Chamber of Depu- ties which will be held next Sunday. These afford an additional reason for the continuance of precautions. as the authorities do not wish the contest to be complicated by failure to maintain order.
 Many workmen who quit at the end of the eight hours yesterday. found themselves locked out this morning. the proprietors refusing to formally concede the principle while intending to stop work at the eight hours.

H. H. D. PIERCE
 NOW ACCUSED x-Consul General Nc Wade Brings Charges. CONGRESS MAY TAKE UP CASE Allegations Against Third Assistant
 Secretary of State. Mcwade Says His Removal From of- flee Was Result of q Conspiracy
 Among Criminals Who Had
 Been Before Him.
CONGRESS MAY TAKE UP CASE

Washington, May 3.-The House Committee on Foreign Affairs today iis- tened to a statement by former Consul General at Canton, China. Mcwade. in reply to the charges made against him by Third Assistant Secretary of State Pierce. Affidavits, were presented by Mir. Mcwade to show the unreliable and criminal character of those who in- stigated the charges.
 When MT. McWade had concluded. members of the committee congratulate ed him on the showing he had made; MT. McWade made charges of sensa- tional nature against Assistant Secre- tary of State Pierce. It Is considered quite probable that Congress may take up the matter of these charges at a later date.
 The only statement of record made by McWade is letter addressed to the comittee. This letter was dated April 26. 1906. by McWade. and Is in part as follows:
 "A Little over six months ago H. II. D. Peirce. assured mo that I was re- moved because the President wanted my place and for no other reason. l now learn through the persistent In. dustry of some anonymous person the nature of the charges preferred against me by H. H. D. Pierce and I solemnly declare them to be false in every par ticular.
 Victim of Conspiracy.
 "1 also solemnly declare that they are made by men who had been charged before me for various offenses from murder down, and that these men form ed a combinational conspiracy against me to have me removed because my continuance in ofice meant their abso- lute compulsory abandonment of their cirimnal practices within my Jurisdic- ton. fs sss.sss,.,
 T soIemilly declare that not a repu- table man or firm. American or for eign, resident and doing business within my Jurisdiction. ever uttered a or my administrations q fact which Pierce could have easily ascertained although he was only forty eight hours in Canton and he did not devote two hours of the time to any investi- gation whatever. He quotes q certain firm of which he was a guest as com plaininE against me and gives that firm bill of health for high business character. etc., etc 4 little investiga- tion would have shown that that firm desired my removal because I was largely instrumental in showing up how 1t had robbed the American rail- way and I had stopped 1t. do not in any way directly or indirectly ques- ton the high right and privilege of the President to remove me from the position of consul general to which l was promoted for conspicuous excel lence."

GoMfERs TO COMMITTEE.
Federation Of Labor Leader Talks
 with Frankucsm

With Frankncss.
 r Washington, May 3.--President Com pers of the American Federation of Labor today made what he hoped would be his last appeal for congress sional action on the eight hour bill He talked to the House committee on labor with great frankness and ear nestness. Year after year, he said, the argument and printed record had piled up. The laboring people of the coun- try were earnest in their desire for Legislation. Patience was exhausted and 1t was earnestly hoped that the present session of Congress would not adjourn without action.
 Tt is not pleasant" declared Mfr. Gompers. "to be compelled to con tinualiy call attention to the impa- tience of the working people of this country. to the diiatory methods em- ployed. to the negligence and indif- ference of some members of parties regarding the Interests of labor. and the hostility manifested by men who have the tongue of glibness and kind ly expression for labor. but when any thing tangible Is proposed meet 1t with indifference and hostility.
 Tt has been construed that we have threatened members of Congress and senators with cur displeasure and that we would try to replace them with other men representing the people in Congress.
 For heavens sake when haa 1t become a crime or an offense for an American citizen to express his pref erence for one congressman over an- other? I imagine it is not so grave an offense for the workIngmen to air their sovereign political power granted them with all other citizens in the furtherance of their interests or os the principles in which they believe or in the protection of the rights to which they are entitled"

 that where school lands were found to be mineral lands. lien selections should be made. The Substitute agreed upon
 provided in substance that the State may lease It's mineral school lands and shall thus not be deprived of their greater value. Efforts were made to get daily sessions of the conference committee but objection on the part of the Senate conferees prevented such all arrangemenf. s[

GEAR STILL HEsITTATING.
As Yet He Has Not Definitely Accepted
 WItte's Resignation.


 St. Petersburg. May 3.-Much ulysti- fcation has been aroused by the fact that Emperor Nicholas has not yet. in definite words, accepted Count Witte's resignation as Premier. It seems that witte received a letter from the Em- peror thanking him for his xealous and able services in the past. and Witte accepted this in connection with his proffered resignation and the report of M. Goremykin's appointment to the Premiership as being equivalent to his dismissal
 The delay In the appearance of a rescript accepting Witte's resignation is further cause for comment. and the theory is advanced that the Emperor is still hesitating. in view of the general expression of opinion in regard to M. Goremykin to discard the old Pre- mier At the same time 1t is known positively that Interior Minister Dur novo's resignation has been rendered.

1t was the first week in May, and
in local swelldom wooden hoardings
were already beginning to so up and
hideous green shades were appearing
down the entire length of drawing

shops tissue papered pots of blossoms

grounds of palms. Once Kennard no.

his head away and looking at the spires
