critical situation at AIueclras.

Opinion at Paris concerning the
progress and final outcome of the
Algeciras conference has become rath-
er more pessimistic in consequence
of the semi-ofiicial declarations that
neither France nor Germany will
recede regarding the question of the
Moroccan police. Diplomats at Paris
strongly support the French view re-
garding the maintenance of the posi-
tion of France in Morocco, arguing
that France must reject in the most
energetic manner any proposal for in
ternational control, as otherwise she
will lose everything for which she has
been contending. 1t is considered that
point has been reached where further
concessions on the French side are
impossible. The other powers have
secured every point claimed thus far,
including the integrity of Morocco and
commercial equality, and now Frances
turn has come to claim her rights
which were recognized in principle
before the conference opened.

Received Your Invitation?

President Roosevelt authorized this
statement: "The President and Mrs
Roosevelt ask the kind consideration
OF many friends who would under or
binary circumstances receive invita-
tions to Miss Roosevelt's wedding
The capacity of the White House re
quired that under existing circum

Wilkes-Barre, Feb. 12.-John Spires
of Sayre, near here, has without his
knowledge carried a one-inch nail,
weighing half an ounce, in his neck

PITTsBURG CONVENTION.
Report of Teilsrs Eiectine President
Dolan and His Allies For An.


Pittsburg. Feb. I2.-Soepss Of wild
disorder reignsd in tie zPittsbdrg con-
vention of United Mime Workers Sat
urday afternoon when President Fat
rick Dolan played his trump card and
forced the tellers Of late election to
render their report which elected him
president of the Pittsburg district for
another year beginning with April l,
1906, also re-electing his allies, Vice
President Uriah Bellingham and Sec
retary William Dodds.
For a week the enemies of Dolan
had fought against the report of these
tellers, but Dolan simply forced the
matter through, thus gaining another
strong point over his enemies, and the
angered delegates burst on the floor
wild with rage and for moment 1t
looked as though riot was assured.
Vice President Tom Lewis was
quick to see that the delegates were
getting beyond themselves and like a
fash he was on the floor asking for
recognition President Dolan, who
was smilingly ignoring the frenzied
delegates clamoring for recognition,
nodded to Lewis, who made short
but very pointed appeal to the dele
gates.
Il hope that none of our people
will let themselves within pale Of the
laws" said Lewis. you are beside
yourselves. Be careful and don't
make yourselves amenable to the
laws"
This intimation that arrests might
be made If the trouble grew seemed to
appeal to the delegates who subsided,
though sullenly.
Dolan ruled out a motion to set
aside his own election and in the
midst of fearful row the convention
adjourned to reconvene next Wednes-
day.
At the morning session President
Dolan openly defied the orders of
President Mitchell who had instructed
the miners to use the district money
in hiring an attorney to fight Dolan's
injunction. Dolan said not a cent OF
the districts money should go for this.
He had hired his own attorney and
delegates who wanted attorneys should
hire them privately.

explosion and all air was shut off from
the mine, leaving the men who had
not been killed by the explosion to
smother to death.
The mine is a shaft mine about 700
feet deep and the unfortunate miners
had little chance of escape.
Most Of the miners caught in the
mine are Hungarians or negroes, who
had little experience in mining.

GobeIin Tapestry For Miss Roosevelt.
Miss Alice Roosevelt has received
the wedding gift which the French gov
ernment had intended for her. The gift
is a beautiful Gobelin representing
Justice" and was offered to Miss
Roosevelt by NJ. Jusserand, the French
ambassador In this country. 1t was
understood that President Roosevelt
had informed several European pow
ers that it would not be agreeable if
they sent especially expensive gifts
and accordingly most European gov
ernments are expected to send small
| gifts merely to express their good will
and wishes to the daughter of Ameri-
cas- first citizen. The French govern
ment, however, already had given or
ders for the manufacture of this rare
piece of tapestry. The piece, though
not large, is invaluable as that par
ticular kind of Gobeln is solely made
for the French government on special
occasions.
