Discussing What to Do
With Miners Demands.
Westerners Urge Independents
Not to Grant an Increase.
Thought That Conference Opinions at Pitts.
burg May Be Divided.

Pittsburg, March 9.-Today's meeting
of the coal operators of the Pittsburg
district. which was called by Francis
l.. Robbins for the purpose OF uniting
on some definite policy for presentation
at the interstate convention at In
dianapolis March ~. is regarded as
the most important conference held
since the question of wages for the
miners has come before the public, as
it is expected not only to settle the
strike question in this district, but
largely to influence the result in the
states of Ohio. Indiana and Illinois.
Within the past "a hours it has de-
veloped that the operators of the WeS-
tern districts have been writing to the
independent operators of this district
and that they have had representatives
working in the field with a view to per-
suading the Independent operators to
stick to the original demand and not
grant an increase of wages to the EN-
ployers. They claim that the operators
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and the in
dependents of Pittsburg district would
be strong enough 10 fight the miners
even though the Pittsburg Coal Co
should grant the miners an advance of
wages of 5.55 per cent.
Previous to the opening of the meet
ing the general sentiment was that the
conference may be divided. some of tho
operators siding with the Pittsbure
Coal Co. interests in endeavoring to
grant concessions to the miners and a
number of others strongly opposing the
granting of any advance in wages a,

Thomas w. Lawson, the largest schooner
afloat with the object of having the Law
son ply regularly between Newport News
or other big coal ports and Mack Point
The Thomas w. Lawson is the only sev-
en-masted schooner in the world. She is
1856 feet long and will carry upawrd OF
1900 tons of coal.
To make adequate docking facilities for
the Lawson the Mack Point coal dock
will have to be greatly enlarged. The
dock is now only $50 feet long. SO that tn.
big schooner would project more than
half her length beyond the end of the
dock. If the coal people close the deal
with the owners of the Lawson an addi-
ton of $50 or 200 feet will be built onto the
Mack Point dock. Big schooners and
whalehack steamers have been plying reg
ulariy to Mack Point during the winter
with coal, and during the last week in
February two trains of % cars each were
run to points Up the line of the Bangor
& Aroostooll Railroad with coal from
these vessels.
Tha people of Stockton Springs. Sears

question from a Commercial man Thurs
day, Pres. Cram of the Northern Maine
Seaport Railroad said that the road will
not be EXTENDED to Belfast this year so
far as he or anybody else connected with
the road could tell. The material for this
stretch of road is all on hand and the
piece Of road could be built probably in
short tine, but ii is evidently the mten-
ton OF the Seaport road officials to let
Belfast wait Il while before she is made

s With China Says Gen. Cor
bin, Just Returned.
Chinese as Friendly to AmeEl-
cans as to Any Nation.
Friction a Canton Between Vlceroy and
Americans Is Smooihed Over.

Gan Francisco March 9.-"There Will
he no war between the United States
and China" said Major Gen. Henry Z.
Corbin. upon his arrival from the ORR
emf on the steamer Corea Thursday.
$50 far as have been able to OBJ
serve. the reported disturbances In
China have been grossly exaggerated
and conditions are not nearly so alarm
ing as one would be led to suppose
from reports that have been published
abroad throughout the western world.
That there have been disturbances is
quite true, but / do not think they
will break the peace Of China and the
United States or any other nation.
1.-THE feeling against Americans in
China does not exceed that entertained
towards the situation the entire anti
foreign feeling is due in large meas
IRE to the exploitation Of business en-
terprises which the Chinese feel sure
should be controlled by their own peo-
Ole. There Is a feeling against those
who have invaded through scheminS
and corrupt official franchises and ces-
sions abrogated and vested in their
own people. They are willing to refund
to foreign investors the money they
have spent in their country; In fact.
this was done in the case of the Ham
kow and CantO railroad.
aside from this chief source OF an
ti-foreign feeling the trouble in China
in due to the presence of missionaries.
l was assured by very prominent
Chinese that the Chinese people are
not at all friendly to the presence OF
foreign missionaries. They resent the
efforts of the missionaries to force a
lot of new creed on their people. The
Chinese have perhaps q more firmly
fixed religious belief than any other
people in the world and they look upon
the religious Of the Western world with
scant favor.
1.-THE Chinese government Is as
friendly to the people and the govern
ment of the United States as towards
any other nation, although nothing has
a greater tendency to strain them than
the frequent publication of false re-
ports and threatened armed invasions.
Although not encouraged by the gov
eminent In any way. these reports con-
stitute a grave menace to the contin-
uunce of amicable relations between
the Chinese and Americans. for these
misleading reports by means of the
native press are circulated broadcas'
throughout the empire and find ready
credence among the Masses.
