DEATH BY DROWNING
 AFTER SAFE LANDING
The Fate Of Paul NOcquet an Anna
 teur Aeronaut.

New York, April 4.-Death in the waters of Bass creek, a small stream winding through the meadows along the south shore of Long Island between Jones Beach and Amityville, ended the daring balloon ascent yesterday after noon of Paul Nocquet, a French sculp- tor of note and an enthusiastic anna teur aeronaut.
 The body was found tonight on the muddy shore of the creek where the tide had left it and not a great dis tance from where Nocquet's collapsed balloon was discovered late last night by life savers of Jones Beach. Nocquet apparently landed safely with his car and in fighting his way out of the meadows in the darkness had traverscd about two-fifths of the distance from Jones Beach to Amityville, several miles, when he died.
 He had crossed thirteen or fourteen different islands and had swam or waded through the runlets between them. That Nocquet travelled as far as he did is considered wonderful. He must have struggled the last mile of the two he travelled under fearful diff ffculties He essayed a trip that few men could possibly complete in day light.

NEW YORK'S TINKERING

Most of the Amending Bills at the
 Point of Passage.

Albany, N. Y, April 4.-The bill proposed by the joint special legisla- tive committee to meet the conditions disclosed in the recent investigation of life insurance are all special order for tomorrow in the senate. Any of them advanced to the order of the third reading can be finally passed if not amended tomorrow, all haing been in printed form upon the members desk for the three days required by the constitution and it is probable the leaders will attempt to pass one. at least, of the bill tomorrow afternoon.
 The bill prohibiting campaign con tributions by corporations was put over until tomorrow so that the meas ure might be examined in the light of suggestions that would operate in ways not contemplated by the com mittee.

 Is PROBABLE
Between the Operators and
 Anthracite Miners
The Latter Asked Enough in the Beginning to Make Reasonable Con. sessions now.

New York, April At was the gen. eral belief tonight of those who are closely watching the situation about the anthracite miners headquarters in this city that the miners have deff- nitely decided to modify their demands and will present them to the operators probably tomorrow. Some of the mem berS of the committee privately ad- mitted before coming to New York foI the present negotiations that the orig inal demands were greater than the miners really expected to get and that the leaders could afford to trim them down and still leave the workers enough to be satisfied.
 It is believed that if the operators will meet the men half way on some of the demands they have made, such as the reconstruction of the concilia- ton board, an eight-hour day and an increase in pay for some classes Of labor, the miners would seriously con- Eider the proposition of renewing the strike commission award for not mora than one year. The miners have all along asserted that they would not bind themselves to any agreement for three years.
 The report that the miners would
 
 10 the effect that they would suggest that the differences between them selves and other employers be arbi- trated and that a convention of anthra- cite miners would be called within T few days, were called to the attention of members of the committee. They referred the inquirers to President Mitchell who, when approached. would shake his head and say: There Is nothing I can say at this time"
 Preparations for another meeting tomorrow between the sub committee representing the anthracite operators and miners kept the Shamokin scale committee of miners busy today. All the district leaders received reports from the anthracite fields during the dav and evening. and notwithstanding reports that more coal was mined to- day than yesterday or Monday, they declared that the situation was entirely satisfactory to them.
 President Mitchell is devotinE aI- most as much time to the situation in the bituminous fields as he is to the hard coal regions. He is hourly in re- ceipt of telegrams from his lieutenants and from coal operators in the west. When asked tonight how matters stood in the soft coal fields he said: "En- tirely satisfactory to me. Everything is turning out as I expected and I be- lieve the situation in the west will soon be cleared up."
 When President Mitchell was in formed that President Roosevelt had declined to interfere with the soft coal troubles he showed great interest and inquired if the text of the presidents communication had been made pubIie- He refused to comment on the presi- dents action but he plainly showed that he was much gratified at the stand the

AT A STANDSTILL.
A Reported Deadlock of Russo Chinese
 Negotiations.

Pekin. April 4.-Russo-Chinese nego- tiatiOns appear to have reached a dead lock- At any rate they are dragging along slowly.
 Russia has the upper hand because she holds nearly all the privileges she contends for while demanding that China officially grant them. The Chi nese, on the contrary, were never so determined to withstand all foreign en- croachments. Both parties are trying to keep the details as secret as was the case with the Chinese-Japanese treaty.
 One bone of contention is believed to be the mining and the other cOnces- sions which the Tartar generals in Manchuria gave to Russian corpora tiOnS and which Russia wants the Chi nese government to ratify. The Chi nese insist that their government never sanctioned these concessions and that therefore they are invalid.

M. Leon. the state engi- neer, when he arrived at the pit, was surrounded by a crowd of people who cursed and swore at him and one wo- man struck him.
 One of the party of salvage men was working in the mine this morning when he felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder and the man, who turned out to be BertOn, said, "I am saved" An affecting meeting occurred between Berton and his wife. Berton said he groped about after the explosion and found the lunch bags of the men who were killed and lived on them. Once he tried suicide by opening a vein. He slept ten times and tried to count the days. He estimated that he had been in the mine eight days. which was sev- enteen days short of the correct time Once he found a dead horse and tried to eat the meat but could not.

 It is known that the senate will not accept this, and Senator Foraker him self has declared his opposition to it.

JoE'S LUCK Drew a Prize in Matrimonial Lottery

Before we were married my hus- band was a coffee drinker and subject to severe attacks of sick headache which interfered with his duties as su- perintendent of a large factory writes young Mass. matron.
 'I had made up my mind that coffee vast at least partly to blame, and that could cure him after marriage by the use of Postum Food Coffee.
 "When I told my younger sister about it she laughed and said, Just wait and see! After you are married you'n find that Joe will have his coffee anyway
 q proceeded gradually, first elimi- mating by degrees the pastry and sweets from the daily menu, and as his meals were always daintily served and appetizing he began to have faith in his wifes ability as cook.
 Meantime his headaches became less frequent, but did not cease altogether. When the time was ripe and proposed to use Postum Food Coffee he consent ed upon the promise that he should have the old kind of coffee at his Sun- day breakfast He grew fond of the new food drink, however. and noted that after drinking the old coffee on Sundays he suffered from unsteady nerves and a dull heavy feeling that he never had on the days when he drank Postum. The result was that at last he said. T would rather have the Pos tum Food Coffee Sunday morning, too. if you don't mind, my dear The old kind makes. me feel like fool all day You may imagine how ready l was 10 fall in with this suggestion. The old kind of coffee has been banished rom our table for more than two years now: Joe's headaches are only mem ory and he always has steady nerves and a clear brain to meet the eXactlnS demands of his business. On not sum- mer days he relishes glass of clear cold Postum with a squeeze or lemon' at noon, finding it most refreshing.
 'In the winter I make up pot ot Postum Coffee in the evening, boiling it 15 minutes, and let it set on the back of the range till morning, when it Is heated and ready to serve in a few minutes" Name given by POstum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

His amendment of the present session, referring the matter to the voters at an election to be held in the territories on the twelfth Tuesday after the pass age of the act, is likely to be the basis of agreement on the bill If so, it un- doubtedly will be accepted.
 The house is ready to recede and Beveridge and his supporters know that nothing more helpful to their cause will be permitted by the senate. The matter will come before the con- ference committee tomorrow and may be disposed Of then.
