Democrats Divide.

Senator Newands, of Nevada, yes
terday entertained seventeen Of bis
democratic colleagues al luncheon
at his suburban home, in Washing
ton the object being to exchange views
on The railroad rate bill before the Sen
ate. Practically the entire afternoon
was spent in discussing the bill.
The talk cOnyerged almost entirely
around the attitude the democrats
should assume toward the questions Of a
suspension or nonsuspension Of the rates
to be fixed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in any case arising before
il, ending review of the issue on an
appeal to the courts.
"With the exception of two or three
Senator'S" said Senator Tilman, who is
in charge of the bill on the floor of the
Senate, call those present were favor
able TO a provision for nOnsuspension
of the rates, and | think" he added,
"that all the democrats will come around
to tho idea OF voting for nonsuspension
when the issue is presented"
Other Senators admitted that the dis
cussion showed that the democrats are
not united in their views on the question
of amendments.
Senators who were present said the
gathering was entirely informal. There
was no attempt to come to auy conclu-
sion on the question discussed and no
plan of action was outlined for the future.
There was, however, full and free
interchange of views on the rate bill
The democrats who were present stated
last night that the bill will under no
circumstances be made party issue.

Innndatil n At Bio Janeiro.

A dispatch from Rio Janeiro says that

MONDAY EVENING. MAR. 10. 1906.

FURTHER work at Algecirss has been
pnt Oh until tomorrow. On that account
some have injudiciously been saying the
conference is doomed TO failure. The
fact is the postponement is not at all
ominous. Its cause is simple. The
French and German ENJOYS are not
plenipotentiaries. They went to Alge-
ciras under hard and fast instructions,
and every time they have found 1t neces-
sarv to depart therefrom in the least de-
gree they have had to send back to Paris
and Berlin for permission, and that pro-
cess has taken time. That is the cause
of the present delay. The probability
is that they will get from their home
governments modified instructions which
will enable them to effect a settlement.
The dispute is twofold-over the bank
and over the police. Germany wants
all the signatory powers to share equally
in the bank, while France thinks that
because OF her far greater financial inter
ests in Morocco than those of any other
she should have a greater interest in the
bank. That French view seems reason
able, and will probably prevail. In res
pcct to the police, Germany appears TO
have accepted the proposal that the
force shall be under French and Spanish
command, but insists there shall be an
an international and neutral inspector
general, who shall be stationed at Casa
Blanca and shall be the local commander
there. France, on the other hand, is
understood to accept the proposal for an
inspector general, who shall be an in
spector, but not commander, but to OBJ
.ject TO his being specifically stationed at
Casa Blanca and being in control there.
1t will thus be seen that the two cOntes-
tart powers are pretty near an agree
ment. and there is reason TO expect they
vii. fully reach ii in few more days.
If so, each will have yielded something
and each will have gained something,
and both will have recognized what has
seemed from the beginning the salient
and fundamental fact of the case; namely,
that there has been no issue involved 50
vital that they could afford to quarrel
over it.

The Miners and Operators.

indianapolis, Ind March l9-This
morning the coal operators held their
first meeting at the Caypool Hotel.
This was behind closed doors, but 1t is
known that aside from the perfecting OF
an organization, the morning was Oc-
cupied in sounding sentiment. The
operators individually have avoided ex-
pressing opinions a. to the outcome Of
the coal fight since reassembling in The
city, and their reticence is said to be due
to lack OF entire agreement with recent
peaceful expressions OF Francis l.. Rob
bins, their leader.
The convention of the United Mine
Workers Was held this morning at
T0mlinsOn Hall.
The miners have completed their pre-
lminary arrangement, but az the
operators did not assemble until today,
il is believed a joint session Of the
miners and their employers is moi likely
to be held before Tuesday afternoon or
Wednesday.
indianapolis, Ind, March 10
Francis l.. Robbins, of Pittsburg, was
today deposed as leader of the mine
operators and ] II Winder, of Column
bus, o., was elected temporary chair
man to succeed him.
Philadelphia, March l9.-Seen this
morning President Baer, Of the Reading
Railway Company. admitted that he hsd
received the letter from John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers,
which practically announced that 2

clared April /, unless concessions were

BECAUSE she wanted to make her
teacher present, a girl, aged IL, stole a
box of candy from drug store in Pitts
burg, Pa, Saturday. She was arrested,
and, Notwithstanding her tears, was held
for the Juvenile Court. The girl said
that other children gave their teacher
presents, but she had no money and so
she stole the box of candy. AS the re-
suit of their efforts to make themselves
"solid" with their teacher, two boys
aged II and II years, respectively, were
arrested in Philadelphia Saturday
charged with theft. 1t is said that their
conduct in school recently was such as

favor with their te 'cher, and few days

Illness of King Charles

Berlin, March l9.-Grave fears are
entertained here that King Charles, Of
Roumanis, who is seriously i'll at Buka-
rest, will not live to celebrate the twenty
fifth anniversary to the Roumanian
throne on March 26 In view Of the
Kings health the question OF who will
succeed him has become very acute The
heir to the throne is Prince Ferdinand
of Hohenzollern, Charles nephew, whose
German extraction and sympathies and
loose manner OF living make him unac-
ceptabIe to the nation at large. II has
been proposed that he shall resign his
claims to his eldest son, who was born
in Roumania snd is a member of the
Greek church. Ferdnand's chief asset
at this juncture is the immense popu-
larity of his wife, Princess Marie, a niece
of King Edward of England.

Fifty-ninth Congress.

SENATE.


The discussion of railway rate regu-
aton was begun Immediately after the
conclusion of routine business in the
Senate today.
Nr. McCreary (Ky.) took the floor
after Mr.. Lodge (Mass) had given no
tice that he would discuss one phase of
the question Thursday.
The Senator saw great disturbances
ahead for the people if Congress failed
to wisely settle the problem. He could
almost see the spectre of governmental
control. He favored giving to the In
terstate Commerce Commission the power
to fix a fairly remuneratiye maximum
rate.
Mr.. Bailey in ringing speech en-
phati ally. denied that his colleagues at
a Sunday meeting had agreed that they
could not support an amendment of the
Texan Senator to the railroad rate bill,
because of its obvious unconstitutional
character.
