TO PAY GERMAN LAWMAKERS.
Finally Agrees to De-
mands cf Reichstag.


Berlin, Jan. 29.-According to the
Cologne Gazette the imperial govern
ment has at last decided to meet the
long standing desire of the reichstag
to pay members per diem for actual
attendance The proposition has been
discussed numerous times, the reichs-
tag each time passing a resolution
asking for the governments acqui>
escence, but the latter has steadily
ignored the request. This week an
other debate occurred in which the
fact developed that many conserva-
tives are convinced that it is neces-
sary to compensate members of the
reichstag in order to maintain quo
rum. The debate brought out some
sharp criticisms of the emperor, who
was described as being the only man
in Germany standing out against the
wishes of the reichstag. Another
speaker quoted a remark attributed to
the emperor, Indignantly exclaiming:
"Give these fellows a per diem, tool"
1t is understood that the govern
ment's decision to yield is due to the
visible Irritation manifested by the
reichstag toward the government for
ignoring it's various notes in favor OF
compensation to members.

MUTINY NOT
YET SUBDUED
Rebellious Troops at Vladivostok
Still Standing BY Their
Guns.
PUBLIC TAKES LANGUID INTEREST

st. Petersburg, Jan. 29.-Beyond the
fact that the revolt at Vladivostok is
not subdued and that the mutinous
sailors and soldiers are still standing
by the guns at the Holy Innocents
battery the war office had nothing to
give out regarding the situation at the
fortress. The only further news avail
able was a newspaper dispatch dated
Jan. 26 stating that two squadrons of
the Nertchinsk regiment of Cossacks
had arrived and that many arrests
had been made. The war Office Off
cials said that their own information
practically duplicated the news dis
patch. From the absence of news it
is concluded that General Mode, who
Is temporarily in command of the
troops, is awaiting the arrival of Lieu
tenant General Mistchenko before ven
turing on serious measures against the
mutineers.
The securing of arms by the mu-
tineers Jan. % was sequel of street
fight in which a number of sailors of
the Siberian contingent were killed.
The public takes only languid in
terest in the latest mutiny. The pa
pers merely print the news, which had
no effect on the bourses without COM

DIES IN AWFUL AGONY.
Minnesotan Lost in Woods Has Terri.
BILE Experience.

Virginia, Mimi, Jan. 29.--Lost for
several days in the deep woods near
this place, freezing his feet and burn
ing them in a fire so severely that
uraemic poisoning resulted, E. Van
Meluch, twenty-eight years of age, is
dead in st. Luke's hospital as result
OF his injuries. Meluch started to
walk during bad storm to the out
skirts of Virginia. He lost his way
during blizzard and wandered in the
woods for several days until the toes
OF both feet were frozen. Almost ex-
hausted he succeeded in making a fire
at the base Of tree, rolled himself in
a blanket and went to sleep. During
the night he rolled about in such a
manner that his frozen feet came in
contact with the blaze and before he
awakened both were badly burned
A parry of woodsmen found him lying
by his dying fire with his feet cooked
He died the next morning in awful
agony.

LOCK CANAL FAVORED.
Canal Commission Approves Minority
Report of Engineers.

Canal Commission Approves Minority
Report of Engineers.
Washington, Jan. 29.-The isthmian
canal commission met during the day
and concluded it's consideration of the
report of the board of consulting engi-
neers with respect to the type of canal
that should be constructed. The com
mission has had before it the reports
of the majority and minority of the
consulting board. At the days meet
ing the commission adopted a report
to the secretary of war which they
will forward to him. While no official
announcement is made with reference
to the commissions report there is
good reason to believe that they have
summarized the two reports and have
recommended the construction of a
lock canal with an 85-foot level, prac-
tically following the recommendation
of the minority of the consulting engi-
neers. The report of the committee
and the two reports of the consulting
engineers will be transmitted to the
president by Secretary Taft with such
suggestions as he may desire to make.

MEMS ORGANIZATION.
EMPLOYERS SUBMIT NO PROPOSITION
QUESTIONS in DISPUTE EVEN.
TUALLY REFERRED TO WAGE
SCALE COMMITTEE.

indianapolis, Jan. 29.-The confer
ence of miners and operators Of the
Central competitive field met in Tom
linson hall during the day. Vice Pres.
ident Lewis 81 the mine workers de-
clared the run of mine basis the min
ers demanded was the only fair way
of mining coal and putting it on the
market and paying the miners for
their work.
He said the miners stood firmly on
that demand and that they were
equally determined to obtain the Z
cent differential between pick and ma
chine mining.
On roll call on the adoption of the
demands made by the miners the mo-
ton was lost by strict vote between
the miners and operators.
President Mitchell said unless fur
ther discussion was desired the propo-
sition might as we'll go to the scale
committee. F. r. Robbins, for the op-
orators, said that the operators had
no proposition,
y On motion of Mr.. Robbins the en-
tire subject of a wage scale and the
X her demands of the miners was re-
fe4red to the joint scale committee.
The motion was seconded by Pres
ident Mitchell of the miners. The con
ference then adjourned to meet at the
call of the chair.

LOWELL HOTEL IN FLAMES.
Three Persons Perish and Many Are
Injured.

Three Persons Perish and Many Are
Injured.
Lowell, Mass, jan 29.-Three lives
We're lost early in the day in a fire
which badly damaged the Richardson
hotel, one of the best known hostel
rles in the city. Seven injured per-
sons were taken to the hospital while
nearly score of others were treated
by physicians and then lodged in other
hotels and residences in the neighbor-
hood. The dead are: H. G. Harding,
Somerville, Mass; Christina Nelson,
pastry cook, Boston; Miss Josephine
Keneeston, nurse, Franklin Falls, N. H.
The fire is believed to have started
in the kitchen from an overheated
stove. 1t is thought that it had been
burning for nearly an hour before it
was discovered. When the firemen
arrived all the occupants of the first
and second floors had escaped, but
many persons on the third and fourth
floors were hanging from the window
ledges. Unfortunately the fire ap.
paratus responding to the first alarm
did not include enough aerial ladders
to remove these frsons from their
precarlous position. A second alarm
was sounded and when sufficient long
ladders had reached the scene all of
those who were yisibly in peril were
rescued.
Some of the persons who were hang
ing from the windows had become ex-
hausted by this time and had dropped
into the life nets that were spread
below. Others managed to escape by
the rope fire escapes. All left the no.
tel in their night clothes and they did
not have an opportunity to save their
personal effects.

MAY CONTINUE SIX MONTHS.
Germans Not Hopeful Of Early Agree
ment at Alqeciras.


nent at Algeciras.
Berlin, Jan. 29.-While Germany is
not dissatisfied with the progress hith-
erto made at Algeciras the belief is
gaining ground here that the confer
ence will last much longer than at
first regarded as probable. Persons In
the confidence of the foreign office
even predict that the conference will
last six months. The feeling in fnan-
cial circles has grown more confident
that satisfactory solution of the
difficulties will ultimately be reached
and the Moroccan question begins to
cut smaller figure in speculative
matters. Nevertheless, better in
formed political quarters point out
that the hardest questions for the con-
ference to decide have not yet been
touched on and that when these come
up a much slower pace is certain,
while deadlock for a considerable
time is not impossible.

BRIBERY is CHARGED.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Bribery has
been resorted to, it Is charged, by an
attorney for the beef trust in his ef-
forts to secure an acquittal of his
clients now being tried for violation
of the antitrust laws.
President Roosevelt has made pub
lie some correspondence with Attor-
aey General Moody and United States
District Attorney Morrison of Chicago
