the provincial convention have been an
nuled by the election commission the
ground that they are under Indictment in

tors. The commission has replaced them
by conservative candidates, who received
scarcely tenth of the vote cast for NM.
Milukoff and Hessen.
The action of the authorities has aroused
storm in radical circles because the e'com-
mission did not take exception to their can
didatures before the baloting Besides,
Prof. Milukoff is one of the prominent lead
ers of the constitutional democrats and was
expected to be a power in parliament.

PRACTICE TODAY BARRED.
Arrival of the Georgetown Crews at
Annapolis.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 6.-The members
of the first and second crews of George
town, who will row against the midshpmen
here tomorrow, arrived in Annapolis at o
o'clock this morning, the party being under
the charge of Coach Patrick Dempsey,
They were given one of the two naval
academy boat houses and have installed
both of their shells and rowing ma terial
A heavy wind Is blowing from the north
west and the river is full of whftecaps
Practice for today is out OF the question
and If the wind continues at the present
rate tomorrow, there can be no ra ce on any
Of the waters contiguous to Annapolis
There is hope. however. the wind will mod
crate, and If it does the race is scheduled
for 3 In the afternoon. All four crews will
enter the one race and the inside course
which ends about two miles up the Severn
river. will be used.
Tomorrows race not only opens the local
season, but the intercollegiate rowing sea-
son. There is a general feeling that it is
entirely too early for this section. Stiff
winds and choppy seas are the rule rather
than the exception at this time in the vicin-
fty of Annapolis. Opinion differs as to the
probability Of a continuance of the present
weather tomorrow, but 1t is thought by the
majority of the experts that the gale will
blow itself out today. For the last two sea-
sons the race between the midshipmen and
Georgetown has resulted in the navy WIN
ming both races in its class. In 1908, how
ever. both the first and second Georgetown
crews defeated both of the crews Of An
napolis.

MARINES IN PHILIPPINES.
Secretary Ronaparte Settles Several
Questions in Dispute

Secretary ROnaparte has prepared mem
orandum in settlement of several questions
at issue between the general board, the
commandant of the Marine Corps, the COM
mander-in-chief of the Asiatic station and
others with respect to the status of the
marine brigade in the Philippines, but more
especially to the powers and duties of the
officer in command of that brigade. Re
viewing the laws bearing on the subject the
Secretary laysit down as a general PROPOSE
ton that the Marine Corps forms a part
of the naval forces and is always subject
to the law and regulations for the govern
ment of the navy, except in the single con
tingency of it's being detached and assigned
temporarily to duty with the army, and that
consequently a force of marines serving
without any other forces, either naval or
military, is subject to naval regulations and
under naval command"
Following that course of reasoning, Sec
retary Bonaparte holds that the officer in
command of the marine brigade in the
Philippines, while practically exercising an
independent command, should be under the
orders of the naval officer in command of
the Philippine squadron well as under
the orders of the eommander-in-chiefo of the
Asiatic station

tee of the Senate committee on post offices
and post roads looking to an investigation
OF the case of Mr.. b. F. Barnes nominated
by the President to be postmaster of the

Carter and Culberson. members of this sub
committee, have not yet held meeting, as
they are waiting for further information as
to the general charges against Mr.. Barnes.
1t is recognized by members of the commit
tee that there is no necessity for nasty ac-
lion, so that it is likely that no meeting
of the subcommittee to consider the noml-
nation Will be held until next week
Many of the senators, especially those
from southern states, are in receipt of let
ters from their constituents protesting
against the confirmation of Mr.. Barnes
nomination on the ground that he has vio-
lated the laws of chivalry, which, especial
ly in the south, are declared to be essen tial
on the part OF any man who has aspirations
for public office. \ number of the south
ern senators have received very urgent let
ters along this line. their constituents in
sisting that the nomination should be
turned down on that ground.

an operation is recessary it must be done
quickly 10 have the desired effect.
Il is now known that the principal cause
of trouble In the governors case is the pros
ate gland There IS a growth there that
the physicians have regarded as sarcoma-
tous that Is, malignant tumor
Before leaving for Cincinnati DIR. o. P.
Holt said in regard to this:
Gov. Pattison Is suffering, among other
things. from an abnormal growth on the
prostate gland There are indication that
this may be cancerous growth. This will
be determined at the hospital at Cincinnati.
1t may be that Incorporation will be neees-
sary. II the examination reveals to a GER
taiuty that the governor is afflicted with a
malignant growth he will be operated upon
Immediately. No one can predict the out

WILL WAIT FOR REPLY
Arbitration of Coal Issue Up to
Operators.
MITCHELL VERY HOPEFUL
Sentiment Against Acceptance of
Miners Offer.
PROPOSAL BY OHIO MINE OWNER
Suggestion That Bituminous Issue Be
Settled on Same Terms as in
Anthracite Case.
PROPOSAL BY OHIO MINE OWNER

NEW YORK, April 6.-Pending the con-
sideratiOn by the anthracite operators 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 prac-
tically agreed as to how they shall meet
the offer. they will not draw up formal
answer until the members of the subcom-
mittee have consulted all interests in
volved. The sentiment of the subcommit-
tee of the operators is distinctly against
the acceptance of the miners Offer at least
IN its present shape.
The scale committee of the miners held
a brief session today and took up the Stu
alton in the anthracite fields. After the
meeting most of the members of the COM
Inittee returned to their homes, where they
will met the presidents of the local unions
IN their respective districts to receive re-
ports of local conditions.
President Mitchell will remain here while
the operators are considering the miners
arbitration Offer and Will attempt to catch
up on the routine work of his office. The
meeting of the international executive
bodfU OF IilS miners uHtOH WHICH ndd Dstil
set for next Tuesday ut Indianapolis has
been postponed for a week because Of Mr..
Mitchells inability to be present.
The Bituminous Case.
When President Mitchell of the miners
was shown a bulletin from Columbus, Ohio,
today announcing that President Winder
OF the Ohio Coal Operators Association
had telegraphed President Roosevelt and
Mr. Mitchell proposing that the strike In
the bituminouS fields be settled on the same
terms which the miners proposed to the an
thTacite operators yesterday, he declined
10 make any comment. He regarded the
move as very Interesting" he said but
in the absence of official advices could say
nothing about the matter The sentiment
of the anthracite miners scale committee
with regard TO arbitration is that conditions
in the anthracite and bituminous fields are
widely different.
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
if he had not expected them seriously to
consider IT.
In reply TO query with reference to the
conditions in the bituminous fields, Mr.
Mitchell said that the situation In the soft
coal region is Steadily improving, and that
matters there are proceeding satisfactorily
to him.

PROPOSED "JIM CROW" CARS.
Numerous Colored Residents Approve
the Proposition.

Representative Heff1in of Alabama, who
recently introduced in the House bill to
compel street car lines in the District of
Columbia to operate so-called Jim crow
cars, is In daily receipt of dozens of letters
from residents of Washington and citizens
of adjoining states indorsing his measure
Some of Mr.. Heffiins correspondents
frankly admit that they favor the bill large
ly for the reason that it would compel local
railway corporations to furnish more street
cars to handle traffic. This, it is urged, is
In itself sufficient to make the Hefflin bill
worthy of earnest consideration. Some of
the letters received by Mr.. Heffiin were
written by colored residents of the national
capital and they urge that both races would
benefit from the passage of the Heffiin bill
compelling the operation of separate cars
for the two races
