THE SEPARATION LAW
 STRONGLY ENDORSED
The French Government Gains
 Strength by the Election.

Paris, May 7.-The results of the election are considered chiefly import ant in confirming the policy which the government has thus far pursued, particularly on the question of the separation of church and state The groups of the left supporting the gov ernment are strongly increased, while the opposition groups are uniformly decreased. the cumulative nationalists being almost eXterminated. The gov ernment groups are so much increased that they are no longer dependent upon the socialists.
 Out of 51 constituencies. the gov ernment has carried 262 and the oppo- sitiOn 169. In 155 districts there was reballoting. The results in the colo nial districts have not yet been report ed.
 The Temps this evening sums LID the situation as follows: "The clear mean ing of the election is that the country does not want to return to the old regime of church and state The elect orS have declared themselves in favor of firm, dignifed foreign policy, or derly respect for the law at nome and liberal application of the separation law"

SPEAKERS BIRTHDAY
 WARMLY CELEBRATED
Official Warrington Turned Out Last
 Night to Congratulate Him.

Washington May 7.-Speaker Can non was the guest at a reception given him tonight at the Arlington hotel by his colleagues in the house of repre- sentatives in honor of his seventieth birthday. It was a notable occasion. made so by the presence of President Roosevelt and almost every official of note in Washington and others from outside cities. who called to extend their congratulations.
 All the members of the cabinet now in Washington, members of the su- preme court, a large contingent of both houses and heads of the various bur- eaus of the executive departments and prominent residents found time dur ing the evening to come in and shake the speakers hand and to wish him many happy returns of the day. Presi- dent Roosevelt arrived about 10 o'clock and for over an hour chatted with the speaker and mixed freely with the large crowd. Vice President Fairbanks was among the early arrivals.
 As Speaker Cannon knew every one who called to congratulate him intro ductions were unnecessary He gave a cordial welcome to all his friends and heartily responded to the good wishes

St. Petersburg, May 7.-Another of the kaleidoscopic changes in the po- litical situation to which Russia is be- coming accustomed occurred late last night when, with utter unexpectedness the draft of the fundamental law. which was supposed to have perished with the Witte regime, was officially promulgated and made the permanen, basis of the Russian state, unalterabIe except on the initiative of Emperor Nicholas or his successors.
 Though the draft of the fundamental law has undergone considerable editing and numerous changes have been made in it, in essence it remains identicai with the project telegraphed to the Associated Press on April 24. which evoked a storm of anger and condem nation by the dominant liberal party. Published at the present instant. when the people had been led to believe that the unpopular draft had been dropped and when the dismissal of the old cabi- net was accepted as an indication of the desire on the part of the govern ment to join hands with the national parliament the news will arouse still greater indignation and threatens to undo all work of Professor Milukoff and the other constitutional demo- cratic leaders in the cause of moder- ation.

SETTLED FOR
 THREE YEARS
Work in Mines Will Begin
 Next Monday
An Agreement Was Reached YsSter- day Between John Mitchell and the Anthracite Operators.

New York, May 7.-After carrying on negotiations for nearly three months, the sub- committee represent ing the anthracite mine workers and operators of eastern Pennsylvania, to- day agreed to continue the award of the strike commission for another three years, or until March 31, 1909, and the men will return to work as soon as practicable. probably next Monday. All miners who have not committed violence against persons or property will be reemployed, and no one will be discriminated against be- cause of any action ne may have talk en in the strike movement. The agree ment is subject to the ratification of the ri-distriCt convention of mine workers at Scranton tomorrow, but there is not the slightest doubt that the delegates will approve the action of their representatives.
 This outcome of tne dispute which threatened to develop into long. bit ter struggle. and paralyze a great in- dustry, was looked upon with satisfac- tion by the coal road presidents. as the agreement entered into is their first proposition made early in March in reply to the mine workers original demands.
 ''The miners had little to say re- garding the agreement, except that it was the best they could get. They pointed out, however, that the agree ment is the first general agreement that has ever been signed between the miners and operators, and they look upon it as a step forward in their ef- forts to have regular agreements with their employers.
 Wlile the compact entered into to- day was predicted last week. the agreement was not reached without a final struggle on the part of the miners to get something more. President Mitchell in stating to the operators the action of the Scranton convention. asked that the agreement be made for two years. In arguing for the two year term he said the cost of living might increase considerably in three years, and that other changes in the mining industry might come, that would make tae present wage scale unfair to the men. The operators fin their reply. say they felt that any con- tingency that might arise. was cov- cred by the award of the strike com mission, and they concluded by asking that the award be continued for three years. This was then agreed to.
 In taking up the question of dis criminatiOn against some of the men, it was the intention of the mine own CTS to take back only such men as they chose to re-employ but President Mitchell contested this point so strongly that the operators withdrew it.
 No date has been set fer the re- sumption of work. It was thought that Thursday will be selected, but as some of the mines are not in good condition for an immediate resump- tiOn, the beginning of operations may be delayed until Monday. This is the sixth week of the suspension, and rep resents a loss in production of about 5,OOO, 900 tons

Washington. May 7.-Tne senate again today spent the major portion of it's time on one amendment but in- stead of accepting it. adopted sub stitute. The provision, which was made the basis of the suggestion, was that by MT. Foraker. prohibiting the granting of rebates, passes drawbacks or special rates to passengers on rail- ways and also prohibiting discrimi- nations in the way of accommodations where equal rates are paid.
 The discussion took a broad range covering first the pass question and then the race question in the southern states. The race issue was raised in connection with the clause relative to discriminations. which was interpret ed as referring to separate cars for the races, and it called out very warm pro- tests from MT. Bacon. MT. Money, MT. Culberson and other southern sena- tors.
 MT. Money declared he would not support the rate bill with a provision which raises the race issue. MT. Gull person also cOntended for the elimina- tiOn of that question and offered a sub stitute accomplishing that result. His substitute was adopted and was as follows: That no carrier engaged in interstate commerce shall directly or indirectly issue or give any free tick et free pass or free transportation to any person except to the officers, agents. employees and attorneys ex- clusively in the service of the carrier issuing the same. or to ministers of religion, inmates of hospitals. eleemos- nary or charitable institutions Any carrier violating this provision, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. and shall for each Offense pay to the United States penalty of not less than S100 nor more than $2O00"
 Before taking up the Foraker amendment, the Kittredge amendment relative to private cars, was voted down. The Elkins amendment to pro- hibit interstate railroads from engag- ing in the mining of coal or in busi- ness other than interstate commerce. was debated for some time. So many amendments and substitutes to the amendment were offered tnat finally. all were ordered printed for the con sideration of the senate tomorrow.

 United States Gulf Ports.

Havana. May 7.-The superior san itary board today formally recom- mended quarantine against ports of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Texas for the reason, as given, that the national authorities will not intervene in sanitary matters in those states, that last year Havana was not in formed of the existence of yellow fever in New Orleans until six weeks after the first case occurred. and that the present season there will be great dan ger of carrying Infection.
 No quarantine is suggested against Florida, because the health officer of that state is also an officer of the United States marine hospital service.

PRACTICALLY AGREED UPON
After a Storm Which Threatened to
 Wreck the Compromise.

Washington, May 7-The situation of the railroad rate bill took another decided change today, and at the same time there was an additional step to- ward final agreement as to what the Judicial review amendment should be- The Allison compromise proposition met with such determined opposition from those senators who have fought against a broad" court review that, despite President Roosevelts accept ance of it and his declaration that other provisions he had advocated were not vital. an agreement was reached by which several restrictions will be placed on the review proposition. These were agreed on in consequence of many informal conferences on the floor of the senate during the debate.
 The result is that in return for the amendment cOnferring Jurisdiction on circuit courts to review the orders of the commission, the friends of the bill demanded. and by agreement of senate leaders will secure; counter conces- sions. as follows:
 That no order of the commission shall be suspended or set aside by an interlOcutory order or decree without a hearing had on the application there

they believe that the courts will not review that question.
 After the adjournment of the senate today, Senators AIdrich, Knox, Carter. Hopkins, CuIlom, Fulton and Crane met in Senator Aldrich's committee room. The conference lasted nearly one hour. Both factions were strongly represented.
 At the conclusion of the conference Senator Aldrich stated that the bill would be passed with section four left just as it came from the house. One of the arguments that accomplished this result was the action of several senators in pointing out that Senator Knox's rate bill authorized the com mission to fix rates which in it's judg- -ment were just and reasonable, and that the same language appeared in the Massachusetts statutes.
 The conferences today, it is believed, have about disposed of the points, III dispute. The agreement reached by the republican leaders is a concession to the democrats. The amendment providing for the giving of notice of hearings for injunctions was first of fered by Senator Overman. Senator Bacon originated the proposition for the hearing of such applications by two judges, and several democrats intro duced amendments providing for ap- peals direct to the supreme court. Senate leaders representing both fac tions predicted tonight that the com promise amendments will be adopted.
 The Allison compromise was not written by Senator Allison, but was prepared two weeks ago at a meeting of Senators Long, Fulton, Nelson and Allison. The last named submitted it to Senator Aldrich and others as q basis for a compromise on the review feature His illness prevented him from discIaiming the entire responsi . bility for it. It is stated that it was the intention of those who drafted the proposition that it should be followed by the Overman and Bacon amend ments. as stated by the Associated Press on the morning following that conference. The negotiations today have made that program possible.
