TO AWAIT RESULT OF
 SOFT COAL CONVENTION
FURTHER DISCUSSION OF AN THRACITE QUESTION HELD
 IN ABEY1lNCE.

No Meeting Yesterday Between the
 Operators and Miners Sub-C Commit
 tees--No Date Set for Next Session----
 Mir. Robbins Acknowledges Roose-
 yelt's Letter-Has Asked Operators
 Committee to Meet Him.
 New York, Feb. 27.-Pending a settle- ment of the controversy between the soft coal operators and miners, in which President Roosevelt has taken a hand by his letter of yesterday, the ne- gotiations with the anthracite operators have apparently been suspended. No meeting between the anthracite oper- ators' subcommittee and the miners subcommittee will take place to-mor- row, as has been announced, and no other date of meeting has been yet ar ranged, It is believed by the operators that President Mitchell probably will allow the anthracite question to await a settlement of the bituminous contro- versy, and that this demand may be affected by the settlement secured in the soft coal fields.
 No letter from President Roosevelt has been received by the hard coal op- orators.
 Pittsburg, Feb. &.-Acting on the ad vice of President Roosevelt, made known through letters to International President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers and Chairman Francis l.. Robbins of the Pittsburg Coal com pany and leader of the bituminous op- orators, the latter has called confer ence in this city tomorrow of the op- orators committee, who are members of the interstate agreement, in an en- deavor to arrange some means of pre- venting a strike of the bituminous coal miners on April 1. In reply to Presi- dent Roosevelt's letter, published this morning, MT. Robbins sent the follow ing to Washington;
 Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, President of
 the United States, Washington D. c.
 Dear Sir:-I found your letter on my return from New York this morning. Have asked the operators committee of the interstate agreement to meet me here tomorrow to consider the ques- tion of conference with the miners. Will advise you of result tomorrow. ''Very respectfully,
 (Signed) Francis l.. Robbins"

TROUBLE IN oPERAToRs' CAMP.
Independent Mine Owners Opposed to
 Any Concessions to Miners.

Pittsburg, Feb. 27.-The meeting of the coal operators tomorrow promises ito be stormy. The turbulence is ex- pected to arise over the attitude of some of the independent operators in the Pittsburg district, who are opposed to any concessions whatever. Several of these operators tonight expressed the intention of being present at the meeting and entering a vigorous pro- test to any such concessions as are proposed. The opposition to granting an advance in the miners wages is said to be based on the fact that the coal trade to-day is in worse condi- tion than it was two years ago when the miners accepted a reduction.
 If the independents find they are strong enough to stand alone in the matter they may decline to enter any settlement.

Barge Berwind Which Was Lost While
 i'm Tow.

New London, Feb. H.-Barge Ber- wind belonging to James McWilliams of New York, was lost from the tow of the tug Battler, during her trip from Providence to the city during Monday night.

Off Watch Hill the tug and tow met very heavy seas, and these finally started a plank in the Berwinds hull, and she began to fill rapidly.
 Her captain was taken off, and an att tempt was made to get the barge into shallow water. This was only partial ly successful. as she lies in about eight fathoms of water off the Hill.
 The Battler reported her loss on ar rival here and instructions were given to have the T. A. Scott company raise the barge if possible. Work has al- ready been commenced upon her.

s. P LANGLEY DEAD.
Secretary of Smithsonian Institution
 and WOrld-KnOwn Scientist.


 Aiken, s. C., Feb. 27-S. P. Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and known as a scientist throughout the world, died here at noon to-day.
 Professor Langley was seventy-two years old. His whole life had been de- voted to scientific work. Though by profession civil engineer and archi- tect, astronomy occupied most of his time.
 Several years ago Professor Langley conducted a series of experiments with a flying machine at Whitewater Va, on the Potomac river, the results of which were watched with widespread inter- est.
 The experiment, however ended dis astrously. It was a singular coinci- dence that on the day of Professor Langley's death the question of appro- priations for flying machines came up incidentally during the debate in the house, while the army appropriation bill was under consideration.
