NOTHING TO AREiTRATE.
Letter of Anthracite Operators to John
Mitchell

New York.-A committee of
presidents of the anthracite coal carry
ing railroads and mine operators held
n meeting in this city Tuesday and
drew up letter to President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
of America in which the operators
again declare that there is nothing TO
arbitrate except the question whether
there shall be any arbitration. This
reply was made in response to Presi-
dent Mitchell's recent amended propo-
sition of arbitration
The operators do not, however, re-
fuse point blank to accept Mitchell's S
latest plan. They assert that all the
differences between the miners and
their employers have been decided by
the strike commission and that there
is no reason why any attempt should
be made to arbitrate them.
The fundamental principles of re-
garding the conduct of this business
have all been established by the strike
commission" the operators declare.
mo reason is suggested why they
should be retired. We have no further
suggestions to make than those con
tanned in our former propositions and
We regret that you have declined both
of them. We have nothing further to
offer"

Reclamation Director.

Washington.-In the House Tuesday
a bill was passed creating in the De
partment of the Interior director OF
reclamation service, who is to have a
salary of $4,000 year, to be paid out
of the reclamation fund. Until the
President appoints the director the
present official designated by the sec
retary of the interior shall have
charge. His salary of $1,000 year
is increased to $4,000 year. One Of
the reasons for appointing the director
at this time is to give the reclamation
service legal status. From now on
it is understood the work will progress
at much more rapid rate than hereto
fore.
The scarcity of labor in the North
west, the increase in the price Of ma
terials, and also in the rate OF wages.
has caused great delay in carrying out
government reclamation projects.

Murder in the Second Degree.

Denver.-A Canon City dispatch
Tuesday night says: The trial of Mel
Long on the charge of killing his
brother-in-law, James Good, was con
cluded to-day and a verdict of murder
in the second degree returned. A pc
culiar feature of the trial was the fact
that the attorneys for the prisoner OBJ
jected to the admission of testimony
from Longs wife under a principle of
the common law which holds that the
relationship between husband and
wife is so intimate as to render them
practically one and the same person.
The objection was sustained by the
court and Mrs. Long was not permitted
to testify. The extreme penalty for
murder in the second degree is life i'm
priSonment.

BATTLEsHIP ACCIDENT.
Three Bags Of Powder Explode on the
kearsarqe.

Washington.-Two years to a day
later than the fatal Missouri disaster, as
every sailor Immediately recalled, on
Friday and the 18th Of the month,
two officers and five men were done to
death in the forward turret of the bat
tleship kearsarge by one Of those ac-
cidents which acquire additional terror
for sailors because of their obscure
origin and almost impossibility of pre-
vention.
Eight seamen were severely and six
slightly injured
The men killed are:
Lieut.. John NJ. Hudgins of Virginia.

Lieut.. James NJ. Crane, gun umpire,
of Pennsylvania.

King, William, seaman residence,

Mrs. Alice Cox, Appleton City, Mis-
souri,.
The dead will be buried at Guanta-
namo. The vessel was not injured by
the explosion
The Kearsarge's forward turret is of
the super-imposed type; in other
words, an eight-inch gun turret sat
upon the top of the thirteen-inch gun
turret, where the accident occurred
In the fower turret We're twenty -four
men and in the upper turret sixteen
men.
An ammunition hoist connected the
two and had the powder in the lower
hoist exploded probably every man in
the two turrets would have been
| killed.
The full charge of powder for thir'
teen-inch gun is too large to be hand
led by any one man, so it is divided
into sections in canvas bags. and 1t
was three of these, probably just
enough to fill one compartment in the
ammunition hoist. which ignited.
The ignition is attributed to smolder
ing canvas bagging from the last dis
charge.

A conference was held yesterday by
Commodores Hebron and MacfarIane
and L. A. Thurston of the HawaIr
Yacht Club with Secretary Wood of the
Promotion Committee, at which several
plans were preached for advertising
the proposed San Francisco Honolulu
yacht race.
Circular letters giving full particu-
lars of the race, together with handi-
caps, etc, will be forwarded to all
yacht clubs in the United States in an
early mail.
Commodore Macfarlane was prevail
ed upon to enter his yacht La Palo-
ma, in the race. She will have to be
sailed up to San Francisco and back
again as she is too large for freight.
The entry of La Paloma will have an
interest to mainland yachtsmen as show
ing that the local people are thorough
ly IN earnest over the proposition.
So far the Lurline, owned by Mr.
Sinclair at San Diego, and the yachts
Aggie and Ramona of San Francisco,
are sure to enter.
