RUSSIA GETS MONEY
SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION OF LOAN
 OF s45O,OOO,0OO.
VIII Enable the Government to Pay of Pressing Debts and Continue i'm Path of Reaction if 1t so
 Chooses.

St. Petersburg. April 1.-The suc- cessful negotiation of a foreign loan of $45O.0O0. .o00, ruinous as are the rates which Russia is obliged to pay for the money, extricates the government from much of its embarrassment and enables 1t to clear the decks of the acumula- tion of debts and furnish the cash nec- essary to keep the treasury above wa ter at least for two years. lrrespect- i've of the attitude of the national par liament Premier Witte is greatly en- couraged by the outlook.
 The Associated Press Is in a position to confirm the report that Premier Witte to keep the treasury above wa per hand of Minister of the Interior Durnoyo. The downfall of the latter is a matter only of days or weeks at the most, as Emperor Nicholas has promised to dismiss him before the national parliament meets.
 Rumors that the national parlia- ment will be dissolved immediately after it assemblies are declared to be without foundation. The Associated Press learns authoritatively that unless the unexpected happens, it is the gov ernment's intention to allow the par ljament to sit two months before the summer vacation and re-convene it at the end of September
 The opposition. and especially the revolutionists. are correspondingly crestfallen over the decision of foreign bankers to come to the governments rescue in the present crisis. They be- Iieve it is apt to prove a severe blow to the liberal movement Experience has taught them that the government is never conciliatory except when it is driven into a corner.
 With the necessity of consulting the parliament in order to secure money removed. the government would be in n nosition to continue in the path of reaction if it chooses.

ON TO ZION CITY
poWIE PROPOSES TO INVADE
 VOLIvAss STRONGHOLD.
All Negotiations for Compromise Have Been Broken on, and Elijah II Will Apply to the
 Courts.

Chicago. April 17.-AlI negotiations looking toward A peaceful settlement Of the question as to who shall control Zion City and it's vast resources were broken off today John Alexander Dowie through his attorneys, E.. c. wetten and P. c. Haley. threw down bur Glen Voliva and his followers. when a proposition advanced by the VoIivaites to the effect that the $21,- 000, 900 estate be turned over to a board of control. was rejected by Dowie.
 According to the provisions of this proposition. the board was to consist of nine members, four of them to be Voliva. The ninth member was to be selected by the board as created. I1 was stipulated that both Dowie and Voliva be active members of this board and that the action of the embers there of be final in determining whether or not the deposed first apostle" or Voliva be the recognized head of the Chris ian Catholic church.
 Dowie rejected the proposal on tho grounds that not only would he not acquiesce In the appointment of Voliva on the board but that he no longer re- cognized the new leader as 8 member of the church. In speaking of the ultimatum Attorney Haley, represent ing Dowie. said:
 'As soon as we can obtain the nec- essary information, we will file a bill in chancery in the circuit court of Lake County at Waukegan. This in strument will be petition that the transfer of the property of Zion City executed by General Overseer Voliva, giving to Deacon Alexander Granger full title theof. be declared void. We are handicapped to the extent that Vol. iva and his forces have in their posses sion all of the books and papers con. corning Zion City and It's property It may be necessary for us to go into court to get possession of these. As soon as we obtain the desired informa- tion, the bill will be filed"
 According to the statements of his attorneys and of his follwers. who are with him at the Auditorium Annex, Dowie will go to Zion City some time this week. It is declared by the Dow ieites that when the first apostle en- ters the city which he founded he will do so as the head of the church. Voliva, they say, will be communicated.

MINERS IN CONFERENCE.
Executive Board Holds special Session
 in Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind. April 1.-The In- ternational Executive Board of the United Mine Workers of America began a special session today at the Clay pool Hotel to consider questions that have arisen out of the strike situation in the bituminous district. President Mitchell said he had received no reply from the anthracite operators to his proposition for adjusting the differences in the anthracite districts by arbitra- tion.
 The proposition of the operators in the Kanawaha field of West Virginia to pay an advance in wages of per cent instead of the 1903 scale. was first taken up by the board and a message of instructions was sent to the repre- sentatives of the miners, who were to meet tonight at Charleston. W. Va, in joint scale committee with the repre- sentatives of the operators. President Mitchell said the substance of these in- structions could not be made public until they have been received at Charles ton.
 The complaint of operators in Illi- nois and Indiana that sufficient help was not being maintained at the mines that are idle in those two States on ac- count of the strike was considered. It was announced that the consideration of the matter would be considered to- morrow at o'clock, when the Execu- tive Board will resume its sessions. The assessment of a per capita strike tax and the troubles at Windber, Pa, were not considered.
 The offer made by J. H. Winder. chairman of the operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, who are opposing the payment of the 1903 scale, that the differences he adjusted by arbitration, was not taken up today

Springfield, Mo, April 17.-The sit- uation here remains practically urf- changed. There have been no disturb ances during the day and the crowds that have gathered have diminished In numbers.
 The soldiers have remained quietly in camp, ready. however, to march at a moments notice. The street inter- sections near the jail will be guarded during the night. Squads of special police will continue to patrol the city and efforts to catiEe troubtessWill be stopped before 1t has a chance to get headway.
 Leslie Curtis, tho IS year old boy who last night shot and killed Ralph Burns, a negro, in defense of his own life and his sweetheart's honor, was acquitted by coroners jury today. The acquittal met with unanimous approv- al. The attempted crime of the ne- gro has not yet wrought up any great feeling among the whites. Many of the negroes here say that they are glad that Burns was killed. He was re- garded by the negroes as a bad man and was feared by many of his own race.
 Tho fact that no more arrests are expected until the special grand jury finishes its secret session has quieted the citizens.

HAULING AND / SALE OF COAL. Government Employs E Special Counsel. HUGHES AND SIMPSON NAMED Prosecutions May Be Outcome of
 the Investigation. Anthracite Operators, in Letter to John Mitchell Declare That There is
 Nothing Which Requires Arbitration.
HUGHES AND SIMPSON NAMED

Washington, April 17.-Attorney General Moody today gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 Charles E. Hughes of the New York bar and Alexander Simpson, Jr., of the Pennsylvania bar have been retained by the Department of Justice to take under consideration all the facts now known or which can be ascertained relating to the transportation and sale of coal in interstate commerce; to ad- wise what, if any legal proceedings should be begun. and to conduct under the direction of the Attorney General such suits or prosecutions. if any, or may be warranted by the evidence in hand and forthcoming.
 The general subject for some time has been under consideration by the department. It is believed that suffi- cient evidence has been developed by the Investigations of the Interstate Commerce Commission and otherwise under the provisions of the appropria- tion act of February 25. 1905, author izing the employment of special coun- sel and agents in proceedings of this nature An important element in ar irving at this conclusion Is the recent decision of the Supreme Court in Hale vs. Henkel. holding that the Federal government has the right under legal proceedings to examine the books and records of corporations engaged in in terstate commerce"
 Mir. Hughes is well known in com nection with the recent insurance in- vestigation in New York. in which he acted as counsel for the insurance committee of the state legislature.
 MT. Simpson Is a leading lawyer of Philadelphia. Both Mir. Hughes and MT. Simpson have been in Washin gton recently and in consultation with the Attorney General and both have con- sented to act as counsel for the gov ernment in the investigation and pos sible prosecution of the so-called coal roads under the interstate commerce and anti trust acts.

.WU HELD TO BLAME
TT PROBABLY WAS HE WHO START
 ED BOYCOTT.
Charles Denby Testifies Before the Senate Committee on Immigra- tion--American Trade in the
 Orient ImprOving.

Washington, April 1.-The Senate Committee on Immigration today Iis- tened to Charles Denby on the Chinese boycott of American goods. Mir Den by. who was in China for twenty years attached to the American legation or holding office under the Chinese Gov ernment, said the movement became apparent in 1904; that it had been or ganized by some intelligent Chinese who had visited America (possibIy for mer Minister Wu). He had no direct information duplicating Mir. Wu. While the boycott is now apparently dead, it might easily be stirred to life and fury.
 The English and German institu- tions were at first inclined to exult at the movement against American goods,' said Mir. Denby, but when they saw the movement spreading to any anti-for- eign boycott. they changed their tune"
 Many interesting statistics were given showing the effect of the boycott on certain classes of goods. but it devel- oped that in spite of the boycott, Amer ican trade had been improved The greatest falling off in exports was shown in the flour trade which goes to Hong Kong. English trade territory. The committee seemed to think that English jealousy had something to do with the institution of the boycott. but MT. Denby did not hold the view that English influence had anything to do with the situation. The principal com plaint to this Government have been filed by the Standard oil Company. Pa cific Steamship Company and the Amer ican Tobacco Company
 Asked concerning notifications In the exclusion laws, which would be likely to allay the anti-American feel ing, MT. Denby said that the Chinese government takes little interest in its coolie class and the concessions must be to the privileged classes. A modi- fication of the laws excluding laborers, said MT. Denby, would not appeal to the Chinese national pride-which is a new characteristic.
 'Ts this pride growing?" he was asked.
 Well, it has grown so strong that it induced American financiers to part with their best railway concessions in China" replied MT. Denby.
 Continuing, he said that the adms sion of Chinese laborers would do lit tie good and would be too dear price to pay for any increase in trade that might come to the United States.
 As to legislation to meet present conditions, Mir. Denby said that if eX- clusion of the Chinese coolie was to be adhered to, the present law. with some changes in administrative methods. would meet all demands. He thought regula tions should be made so that the classes admitted may como in and receive a friendly Hnstead of d hostile welcome
 The hearing was adjourned without date.

 This reply is made in response to President Mitchelfs recent amended proposition of arbitration. The opera tors do not. however, refuse point blank to accept Mir. MitchelIs latest pIan They assert that all the differ ence between the miners and their em- pIoyers have been decided by the strike commission and there is no reason why another attempt should be made to ar bitrate them.
 After describing the previous steps of the two sides and commenting Ipon the plans suggested by the miners, the operators aver that the miners have re-

South McAlester l. T., April 1I.- The first move 10 resume operations since the beginning of the miners strike was begun today at Wilburton, when two of the four mines at Deg non and Mcconnell Company were started with deserters from the ranks of the strikers.
 At one of the other mines an effort to resume work with non-union labor caused a strike of the engineers and bumpers. A committee representing the union waited on the deserters at noon today but was unable to induce them to rcjoin the strikers.
