DEMOCRATS CONFER.
SENATOR'S TALK RATES.
Many Favorable to Precision for
NOn-SuSpenSion, Says TiIIman.

Washington, March Ex-senator Newlands Of
Nevada, to-day entertained seventeen of his
Democratic colleagues at luncheon at his sub
urban home, the object being to exchange views
on the Railroad Rate bill before the Senate.
Practically the entire afternoon was spent in
discussing the bill The talk converged almost
entirely around the attitude the Democrats
should assume toward the questions Of a sus-
fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission in
any case arising before it, pending review Of
the issue on an appeal to the courts.
With the exception Of two or three Senators"
said Senator TiIlman. who is in charge of the
bill on the floor Of the Senate all those present
were favorable to a provision for non -suspen-
sion Of the rates. and I think he added, that
all tho Democrats will come around to the idea
Of voting for nOn-suspension when the issue is
presented"
Other Senators admitted that the discussion
showed that the Democrats were about as
divided I'm their views on the question Of amend
ments as were their Republican colleagues.
Senators who were present said the gathering
was entirely informal There was no attempt to
come to any conclusion on the question discussed
and no plan Of action was outlined for the
future. There was, however a full and free
Interchange Of views on the rate bill. The Dem
ocrats who were present stated tonight that the
bill will under no circumstances be made a party
issue.
Those present at the luncheon, in addition to
the host. were Senators Bailey, Blackburn Clay.
CuIberson. Dubois, Foster, Frazier. Pettus.
Hayner' Simmons. Stone. Tillman, Latimer. Nc

tOpSy on Suspicious Case.

Louisiana were overioyed this morning when

COAL OPERATORS SPLIT.
Not United on Question of Increase
to Miners.
CBy Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

Indianapolis March 1S.-The arrival Of opera
tors from the four states included in the COM
petitive district makes it clear tonight that
they divided among themselves as to the
policy to be pursued in the conference to-mor-
row. and that there viii be no effort to displace
Francis L. Robbins, president Of the Pittsburg
Coal Company. as president and elect man
who is opposed to making any concessions TO the
miners.
There is also a strong sentiment i'm favor Of
refusing to confer with the miners scale COM
mittee till the Ryan resolution is rescinded for
mally by the convention. those advocating this
course asserting that it is folly to enter into a
conference with men whose hands are tied.
Certain operators say that President Mitchell
has given secret instructions to members Of the
committee to ignore the Ryan resolution; that
he is doing this TO put the burden Of concessions
on the convention. and they want that body to
rescind the Ryan resolution absolutely and in as
formal manner it adopted A resolu-
tion has been prepared and will be offered at
the operators conference. refusing to confer
with the miners scale committee till the Ryan
resolution is out of the way.
The leaders among the operators who oppose
concessions say they have conferred with many
manufacturers and other large consumers Of
coal since the adjournment in February. and
without exception the consumers insist that the
miners wages shall not be increased if there IS
to be a corresponding increase in the price of
coal
The volume Of business in the last two years.
the operators say, has been larger than in any
corresponding period but owing to increased
competition profits are smaller. and any increase
in the cost Of production would cause hardship
which they are not willing TO bear. The oper-
ators say there is no question that they sus-
tanned by public sentiment in the refusal 10 ad-
vance the miners wages. but some Of them. es-
pecially President Robbins and others from
Pennsylvania. are In favor of restoring the . y
per cent reduction that was made two years ago.
on the other hand. many of the miner dele
gates say that they will not agree 20 any COM
promise measures and that the scale committee
must stand firm for the T. = per cent increase
made at the recent joint conference. The Hi
no5s miners the most radical. and some of
them say that they will strike, regardless Of the
organization. II the convention accepts a COM
promise that provides only for the restoration
Of the y per cent reduction.

OMAHA, Nov. Ito the Editor OF The
Bee: Il is but fair to the citizens OF Omaha
that they should know that the question
of whether or not the Ak-Sar-Ben fall
festivities shall be continued has not yet
been determined. The board OF governors,
at a recent meeting. decided 10 leave tiiis
question open until further pledges Of
financial support from the business interests
OF the city we're made. The present board
Of governors will not assume the respon-
sibility OF contracting the large eXpendi-
lures necessary for successful street pa
rades with only a small part OF the money
pledged with which to pay the cost OF the
parades. / doubt II business men OF the
character OF those on the board OF gov
eTnors. or OF those who have served In
past years, can be found who will assume
this responsibility II 10 not fair to ask
men 20 take such risks for the public good.
The recent responses TO our inquiries OF
the business interests Of the city have been
almost unanimous IN the expression OF the
opinion that the Ak-sar-Ben festivities
should be continued. that they are worth
all and more than they cost as an adver-
tisement for the city. One letter. from one
OF our largest wholesale houses, expresses
the views Of many others. This letter lie as

Luther Drake president OF the Mer-
chants National bank Of Omaha, returned
yesterday from Washington, where he has
been attending the sessions NJ the cur

reform plan adopted by the conference and
recommended TO the respective committees
Of the senate and house Is the outgrowth
Of demand for a more elastic currency
than the country now has.
This demand has existed for years,
growing more intense as the time passed
