COUNT w1TTE TO RETIRE.
RumOr Current I'm 81. PetersbuR9
That Falling Health Will Cause
Premier to Resign.

st, Petersburg, March 20.--Tn high
circles late Monday night the rumor
was current that Count Witte had de-
finitely decided to retire from the
premiership. The Associated Press is
unable to confirm the rumor as Count
White had retired and the chancellery
was closed when the correspondent
called shortly after midnight. From
an absolutely authoritative source,
however, 1t can be stated that Count
White at session OF the council Of
the empire Monday afternoon made
an enigmatical statement which is'
interpreted by many members Of the
council as a virtual declaration that
his career as premier is ended and
that he will be succeeded by Privy
Counsellor Kokovsor, former minister
Of finance. \,
On what is apparently reliable au-
thority, II Is stated that the condition
of Count Whites health Is quite I'M
satisfactory. He is said to have ex-
perienced rather alarming attack
Of heart trouble few days ago. His
physician advised him some time ago
to give up work 1t is known that
Count Witte believing that be had
weathered The political storm, formed
a determint3n to relinquish the pre-
upon the meeting Of the ma
ticnal assembly. Recently, however,
The strength Of the reactionaries In
creased and the premier was obliged
% keep up the fight against heavy
odds. It may be that his endurance
vas thus exhausted and that, feeling
hat his health was declining, he has
cached the decision to retire imme-

Railroad Rate Bill to Occupy Time
Of Senate.
STRONGEFFORTBEINCM ADETOAMEyD
House May Dispose of Statehood
Bill Wednesday-ApprO
and War Claims win Take
Balance of Week.

Washington, March 1.-the debatl
on the railroad rate bill will continue
in the senate during the present week
The prospect is that this bill will more
completely monopolize attention this
week than 1t did last week, for while
under the original arrangement the
rate bill could not be taken up until
2 O'Clock each day, its consideration
can be now entered upon under Senator
Tillman's present policy every day as
soon as the routine business such as
the introduction Of bills and presenta-
ton Of reports is concluded. Mr.. Till
man has announced his purpose Of
pressing the consideration of this bill
to the exclusion Of everything else,
when any one is prepared to speak on
It And" he said, when there is no
one ready to speak, / shall ask the
senate to proceed to vote upon the
measure"
The speechmaking during the pre-
sent week will be inaugurated on Mon
day by an address by Senator Nc
Creery Of Kentucky. A number Of
other senator's will be heard during
the week in formal speeches, but the
order Of delivery has not been deter
mined. Among those who are prepar
Ing speeches are Messrs. ElkIns, Spoon.
or, Lodge, Foster and McIaurfn. Sen
ator SDooner will discuss the legal as
poets Of the subject, dealing especial
" with the question Of review Of the
findings Of the interstate commerce
commission by the United States
courts. Senator Lodge will devote
himself especially to the presentation
Of his reasons for desiring the enlargs
nent OF the commission as outlined !
n his amendment. N all probability /
most Of the speeches will precipitate |
debates, as did Mr.. Rayner's
address, Of last Wednesday. Indeed, |
he disposition is to question most Of !
he statemsnts made on the floor of
he senate and from this time forward
cry few speakers will be permitted
0 escape without Interruption.

compared It with the scala Of wages
paid for simi'ar classes OF labor In
other coal producing states and dis
tricts, and we are satisfied beyond the
peradventurei Of doubt that the wages
proposed are not In excess of-indeed,
that they are not so high as--the
wages paid in the bituminous min
ing districts Of our country.
Judging from the language EN-.
ployed in your answer to us, 1t is
perfectly evident that we failed to

ositions submitted by US.
I'VE wish to assure you that we are
not unmindful Of the great public in
terests involved in this controversy az
to our future relations, neither are we
unappreciative of the splendid efsorts
made by the anthracite coal strike
commission to establish relation
ship between us that would insure a
Just and permanent peace; but II you
will refer to the award Of that com
mission you will find that the com.
mission itself was in doubt as to the
permanency Of its findings and ex..
pressed the hope that at the expira.
ton OF the award the relations Of on
orator and employe would have 80 far
improved as to make impossible such

country In consequences Of the strike
In the, anthracite region. We had
entertained the hope that our adhe-
renee to the letter and the spirit Of
the award and the absence Of local or
general strikes during the mast tbree
years. would have annealed mora
strongly to your confidence. and that
We might reasonably expect serious
of our claim at This

MITCHELL'S REPLY.
President Of Miners Answers An

EXPECTED SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
Their Demands Were Seemingly Re-
fused, Absolutely, Yet Interests

indianapolis, March 10. -Bitumin-
Gus operators to the number of about
900 are expected to arrive In Indian
apolis Monday to confer with the
United Mine Workers of America
The situation in the threatened coal
strike appears to be unchanged, the
outcome now being entirely in the
hands of the miners. The Ryan reso-
luton having been practically rescind-
ed and the report of the scale COM
mittee being favorable, there is ev-
cry indication that conservatism will
govern the final deliberations Of the
miners and operators.
President John Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers of America, has
mailed to George F. Baer, chairman
Of the anthracite coal operators COM
mittee, his reply to the committees
communication rejecting the demands
of the miners organization.
The letter, dated March IL, follows:

nication dated March 10, with accom-
parying documents, and to our reply
thereto, l write to say that / have

to state that we were

that our arguments in favor of them
had received co little consideration at

ignored in your reply to US.
