PIttsburg Feb 4.-While the coal miners OF
the United States and their employers are pre-
pairing for the greatest struggle in the history
or labor the State authorities of PENNSYLVANIA
are rushing preparations TO preserve the peace
The equipment for the new State cOnstabulary
is being sent out from the State arsenal at Har-
risburg, and before the date the strike is
scheduled to begin, April I, every section Of
the mining country will be under the direct
control of mounted troops especially trained for
this kind of work.
The Pennsylvania State eOnstabulary consists
of four troops of cavalry, organized especially
for this coming struggle. Ont of these troops
is located at Greensburg, twenty-five miles from
Pittsburg; one at Greenville. in the northwestern
part of the State. one at Wilkes-B Barre ana one
at Scranton in the hard coal region. Thev are
on duty day and night Every man is a graduate
of the United States army with good record.
While the State is preparing to crush any dis
turbances which may arise. the miners are gath
ering a strike fund of several million dollars
and the operators building up their stocks.
A meeting of miners delegates. which bids fair
to be the livelest ever held will be held in this
city tomorrow. The resignation of President
Patrick Dolan will be demanded at this meet
ing for his vote at the Indianapolis conference
in defiance of instructions of his constituents.
Dolan is a fighter and will attend the meeting
to defend his position.
President Doan. when at his home this
afternoon refused to make any statement rela-
tive to the coming strike. 'It looks serious"
all he would say. II tried 10 prevent II. but
did not succeed"
The anthracite coal operators have stored
millions of tons OF coal In the numerous coal
pockets in Eastern Pennsylvania This coal viii
be dealt out that the strike be carried
for a year. if necessary. 1t is said that il is
the intention of the operators in the East to
maintain prices equitably during the strike Pc
Rod 10 keep the public satisfied. il is
the intention to break up the miners union
rather than make any money out OF the fight.
The bituminOus coal operators started last fall
to store some coal They were suddenly con-
frOnted with demand for coal and advanced
prices, which consumed the surplus thus stored
away. BY April i it is doubtful if there will be
two weeks supply of soft coal stored

CASTELL1NES SEPARATE.
Countess Returns to Home. but
Count 4bscpt.

Especial by French Gable to The New-York Tribune;
Copyright 1906 by The Tribune Associaton)
Paris, Feb 4-Your correspondent is enabled
to confirm the report that has been for the last
week the club and teacup gossip of Paris that
Countess Boni de Castenane, formerly Miss Anna
Gould. of New York had left her husband The
present estrangement has lasted for many
months. but the ridiculous stories circulated in
Paris about the countess having received the at
tentions Of young American here are abso-
lutely without foundation
The countess, who has strong native Amer
ican sense of her personal dignity. and inherits
her fathers cast iron determination. is said to
have energetically resented her husbands SYM
pathetic demeanor toward several women Of
prominence in Partisan smart society The
countess withdrew from the mansion In the
Avenue Malakoff and resided alone at the Hotel
Bristol Place Vend0me, for a few days. but is
now chez ellie" and Count Boni de Castellane is
absent from Paris
Friends of the count and countess say that a
legal separation would be mistaken policy for
both because in that case, they contend, the
countess would cease TO occupy the social
position that she enjoys in Paris since her mar
riage, while on the other hand Count Boni de-
prived OF his share of his wife's income would
be handicapped politically and socially
Strong efforts are being made to bring about a
reconciliation but so far the countess shows no
signs Of yielding to such advice cir
Several of those interested in the report that the
Countess de Castelane is bringing suit for separa
ton against Count Boni, her husband said yester-
DAY that the report of an actual suit must be ac-
cepted with reservation, pending a full confrma-
ton They pointed out that similar suit had been
threatened at least before but had been
settled without to the courts
