HUNGER STRIKE DECLARED
POLITICAL PRISONERS AT MOS
COW DEMAND AN IMME-
DATE TRIAL.

Moscow, April THE political pris
oners with whom the local jails are
crowded have declared a hunger
strike" (rcfusing to partake of food)
to compel the authorities either to
bring them to immediate trial or order
their release. Many of the prisoners
have been three months in Jail with
out being confronted with the charges
against them, Notwithstanding the
fact that Interior Minister Durnovo, in
an official order made public some
time ago, instructed the local officials
throughout the empire to confront
prisoners within twenty-four hours
with the charges which caused their
arrest. But the police also received
instructions to hold by administrative
order all prisoners against whom no
definite charges could be brought.
The decision of the political prison
ers to starve themselves has in
creased the excitement caused by the
election campaign here, which closes
Sunday.
Strong detachments of Cossacks are
patrolling the industrial quarters.

SENTIMENT OF ANTHRACITE OP-
ORATORS AGAINST ACCEPT
ING MINERS OFFER.
ACTION Is DELAYED UNTIL ALL
INTERESTS INVOLVED HAVE
BEEN CONSULTED.

New York, April 7.-Pending the
consideration by the anthracite oper-
ators of the offer of the mine workers
of Eastern Pennsylvania to arbitrate
the differences existing between them
the coal workers will make no move
and will simply wait until Monday for
the mine owners reply.
The operators are busily engaged on
the miners proposition. While they
have practically agreed as to how
they shall meet the offer they will not
draw up formal answer until the
members of the committee have
consulted all interests involved. The
sentiment of the subcommittee of the
operators Is distinctly against the ac-
ceptance of the miners offer. at least
In Its present shape.
The scale committee of the miners
held a brief session and took up the
situation In the anthracite fields. After
the meeting most of the members OF
the committee returned to their homes,
where they will meet the presidents of
the local unions in their respective
districts to receive reports of local
conditions.
Mr. Mitchell said that he entertains
hope that the anthracite operators will
accept the miners offer to arbitrate
and that he would not have submitted
the proposition IL he had not expected
them seriously to consider 1t.
In reply to query with reference
to conditions in the bituminous fields
Mr.. Mitchell said that the situation in
the soft coal region Is steadily i'm
proving and that matters there are
proceeding satisfactorily to him.

Nichols of Scranton Penn, president of District No. i, and John Fahy, of Shamokin, president of District No. 9. These men, with the exception of Mir. Richards, who took the place of R. c. Luther of the Reading company, who died about a year ago, have held ire quent sessions during the las4 three years settling local disputes in the an- thracite regions.
 The award of the strike commission provided that when they could not agree q federal judge in the third ju- dicial district should appoint an. um- pire who should make decision. Judge George Gray, president of the strike commission, made the appoint ments. During the first two years he selected Carroll D. Wright former United States commissioner of labor, as the umpire, but during the last year Charles P. Neill, the present labor com- missioner, acted as the arbiter.
 It was stated at the miners head quarters that if the operators agree to arbitration call will be sent out at once for a convention of miners at which instructions would be adopted. if they ratify the arbitration plan, for the idle miners to return to work immedi- ately.
 District President Nichols of the Lackawanna Wyoming district received a complaint from mine workers at Yatesville to-day to the effect that the state constabulary were entering and searching their homes for firearms. MT. Nichols sent instructions to his ol- ganizers in the field to take measures to protect the miners and to employ counsel if necessary.

In their letter of March to the miners committee the operators said, concerning the 'cRleck-off.'
 As matter of policy we would not make such an agreement as you re- quest, and as a matter of law we are not permitted to make it.
 "On these two subjects also the an- thracite coal commission of 1902 ap- pointed by President Roosevelt made the following vigorous declaration;
 The right to remain at work where others have ceased to work, or to en- gage anew in work which others have abandoned, is part of the personal lib- erty of citizen that can never be sur rendered, and every infringement there of merits and should receive the stern Announcement of the law All govern ment implies restraint, and 1t is not less but more, necessary in selfgoV- erned communities than in others to compel restraint of the passions of men which make for disorder and law lessness. Our language is the language of a free people and fails to furnish any form of speech by which t31e right of a citizen to work when he pleases, for whom he pleases. and on what terms he pleases, can be successfully denied. The common sense of our people, as well as the common law forbids that this right should be assailed with impunity It is vain to say that the man who re- mains at work while others cease to work, or takes the place of one who has abandoned his work, helps to de- feat the aspirations of men who seek to btain better rccompense for their la Gbor and better conditions of life
 Ut should also be observed that MT MitchelPs committee abandons the proposal for one year agreement and supggests an arbitration, the term oi which would expire on April 1, 190S--a presidential year-thus affording a new opportunity to make this great industry the football of politics. The operators had already offered, it will be remem- bered, to extend the findings of the coal commission until April 1, 1908.
 The operators at their meeting de- cided that before they would frame a reply to the miners they would first consult all interests in order to get the sentiment of the heads of all the eoa carrying roads, as well as that of the Independent operators.
 The anthracite board of cenciliation consists of six members-three repre- senting the operators and thre the min CTS. The members are William L.

UPRoAK IN NAV FORK HOUSE.
Assemblymen stand on Desks and
 Throw Files About.

Albany, April 5.--Amid a scene of deafening upfoar, with Speaker Wads- Worth's gavel beating a tattoo on his desk, the assembly adjourned tonight after an eight-hour session, the last hour and half of which was marked by disorder in which almost the entire gamut of parliamentary procedure was called into play by the democrats in an effort to delay what Democratic Leader Palmer characterized as "the most fla grant exhibition of brute force he had ever witnessed in his legislative ca Feer''
 It is many years since such scene has been enacted in the legislature. At the height of to-ntght's disturbance two-thirds of the members present were standing upon their seats yelling at the top of their voices, the pandemonium drowning every attempt of the speaker to restore order. Heavy bill files were flung about more or less good-natured- ly, and many of the democratic mem bers, after failing to secure recognition, threw their blue books, which contain the assembly rules, on the floor. At one time it looked as if the session would continue indefinitely and adjournment was had by sheer majority power, with half the second reading calendar undis- posed of.
 The trouble started after the bill amending the mortgage law had been passed. Senator Malbys two bills, which amend the charter of the city of Ogdensburg and which have become known as the "Ogdensburg ripper bills,' were on the second reading cal endar, The democrats of both houses have vigorously opposed the measures, on the ground that they seek to legis- late alleged legally elected democratic officials out of office.
 Assemblyman Merritt moved the amendment of the first bill, and after a score or more of roll calls were had,
 the bill was finally advanced to Q third reading, the democrats contesting ev- cry inch with motions. The second bill
 went through the same way, democrats
 shouting in every part of the chamber When the motion to adjourn was car rted there was an uproar which could
 be heard all over the capitol. | Directly after the adjournment, Mir Palmer gave out a long statement, In
 which he said that the brutal force of the officers of the house was exercised I to the limit" His statement protested against the procedure, and said the rules had been violated "by sheer force l of the majority vote"
