KAISER FAV0RS PLAN.
SUGGESTS ADJOURNMENT OF
HAGUE PEACE CONFERENCE.

BERLIN. April 9.-The Associated Press
is officially informed that the German gov
ernment has suggested an adjournment of
the second peace conference at The Hague
in order not to interfere with the Berne
(I2ed Cross conference, where the Geneva
convention will be revised Germany has
not suggested July as the month for the
conference, but is trying to persuade Russia
to postpone assembling The Hague confer
ence so that the north, central and south
American states may be able to send rep
resentatives to the European conferences
without interfering at the same time with
the pan-American congress at Rio Janeiro.
Great Britain Will Support.
LONDON, April 9.-The United States
will have the support of Great Britain IN
the effort making through diplomatic
sources to secure a postponement of the
meeting of the second peace conference at
The Hague to a later date than proposed by
Russia. No date has been suggested and
the foreign Office thinks that a date late in
the fall would be preferable, but 1t will be
guided by what the United States believes
necessary in view of the pan-American
congress.
The question of the postponement has
been discussed between Foreign Secretary
Grey and Ambassador Reid. The American
suggestion accorded with the view of Great
Britain, which country Is entirely unpre-
pared for the meeting to take place IN
July as It was believed when the invita-
tions were sent out that the conference
would not be held until the autumn or
even not until 1907.
Great Britain has not appointed delegates
to The Hague. and 1t Is understood that
she is desirous of having some understand
ing with the powers to what questions
shall be taken up. When the Russian en-
peror,s first s.1sitation was received last
year Great Britain did not Immediately ac-
cepG it, requesting more information. Since
then little had been heard of the conyen-
ton until last week, when the emperor s
suggestion that the meeting be held in July
was received.
Therefore the American proposal for
postponement of the conference was well
coined by Great Britain, and she readily
agreed TO support the United States In the
matter. The foreign office also recognized
the reasonableness of the argument that
the pan-American congress should preeede
The Hague conference in view of the prob
ability that the pan-American delegates
may have some suggestions to make at
The Hague.

II was announced that the postponement
was requested because some of the opera
tors had not yet had sufficient opportunity
to consider the miners proposition for ar
bitration.
The two subcommittee held separate ses
sions today to consider the situation as it
now stands. The miners committee had
little TO do, as their latest proposition
arb'tration~-is still in the hands of the
operators. The members of the committee
Informally took up the many reports that
have been circulated regarding the inten-
tion of the mine owners in order to find
out what Is the sentiment of the commit
teemen on the various counter propositions
the operators are said to have considered.
Mr.. Mitchell and his lieutenants express
the belief that the operators will not ac-
cept the miners offer as made, but Will
present an arbitration plan radically AifTer-
ent from the one proposed. The miners
have decided that If a counter-propcsition
is made they will ask for an Immediate ad-
journment for day or two or longer in
order that the full Shamokin scale COM
mittee may carefully consider the new

A Battle With Missiles.

Near the fountain a new building is being
erected and the street was full of building
debris. Almost Instantly there was a
shower Of scrap iron. bricks and blocks
of wood upon the car and the missiles
crashed through the windows, injuring a
number of passengers. The motorman was
made target but he slowly forced his way
thu ough the human blockade and gaining
speed, ultimately reached the hail of JUS
tice.
In the meantime alarm calls had been
sent to neighboring police stations and
patroimen came harrying to the scene They
found themselves confronted by a madden
ed crowd armed with sticks and stones. and
for half an hour a lively battle was in
regress, the police using their clubs with
telling effect and the crowd retaiiating

Policeman Steiner was struck several
times by flying bricks ard was cut In the

PHILADELPHIA, April 9.-Reports re-

gions state that the beginning of the sec
ond week of the suspension of coal mining
shows practically the same conditions as
existed one week ago. Allspf the mines in
the lower and middle districts are idle,
while in the Lackawanna and Wyoming
fields a few hundred men have returned
to work. There seems to be disposition
on the part of the miners to remain away
from the mines pending the conference in
New York between the opera tors and Pres
ident Mitchell. There has been very little
violence in any part of the coal fields,
which would indicate that the miners are
confident that there will be satisfactory
