Peace is now assured in the miners situation so far as the soft coal fields of western Pennsylvania are concern ed. The organization of the independ- ent operators who were holding out against granting the advance demand ed by the miners decided at a meeting last night to give up the struggle and sign the miners wage scale of 1908.
 Nothing developed In the anthracite situation to clearly indicate what the outcome of next Mondays meeting be- tween the subcommittees of the mine owners and the union leaders will be. It was reported that the arbitration offer of the miners would be fiatly re- fused, but 1t was denied by those in authority that final decision had been arrived at. It was also reported that the operators may accept arbitration, but with different sort of tribunal. President Mitchell said his side has nothing to do now but wait for the op- erators' answer. It has practically been settled that if the operators re- fuse the arbitration offer a call will go out at once for a convention.
 President Roosevelt has received a telegram from John H. winder at O. lumbus, president of the bituminous operators of Ohio. duplicate of which was sent to President Mitchell of the miners union. proposing arbitration. At the White House 1t was stated that the telegram was sent to the president for his information. that no reply is expected and none will be sent.

MORE ARBITRATION
Proposal Out of the West
 From Mine Operators.
BITUNIyOUS COAL NEWS PEACE PLAN
President wfnder TeleEraphs Roose- welt and Makes Cner to Mitchell
 and Comnittee Which May


 NEW YORK, April T.-Interest in the labor troubles in the anthracite re- gions is overshadowed by the proposi- ton that came out of the west for the arbitration of the differences existing between the soft coal operators who have not yet agreed to the 1903 scale and their miners.
 The offer of the soft coal operators is identical, word for word, except where the term bituminous is substituted for anthracite, with the one President Mitchell presented to the hard coal op- orators here. The receipt of the propo- sition caused quite stir, and there was considerable speculation as to how the miners leader would receive his own arbitration plan for another field. He was much interested in the news. but maintained his usual silence when asked what he would do.
 Within an hour of the receipt of the offer from ]. H. winder. the head of the Ohio soft coal operators. he sent a reply to the effect that he had no pow CT to act on the proposition. but would submit it to the international executive board of the union at Its meeting in Indianapolis week after next Mr. Mitchell was asked what he thought of Nr. winder's literary ability. and he Jokingiy replied that he admired 1t very much
 Leaders of the miners union who were at headquarters did not think the international executive board would favor the proposition A member of the board said that conditions in the soft coal regions are much different from those in the anthracite helds- He pointed out that many operators had signed the 1eoS scale and that the number is increasinE each day.

 "I stand first for the interests of the people of my own state" he went on, "and after that for the interests of all the people of the United States"
 He declared his principal objection to the house bill to be that it does not go far enough in remedying evils and expressed the opinion that If enacted Into law it would prove a general dis appointment He said that he was in hearty accord with the president on the subject of rate regulation. and then in- iicated the respects in which, accord Ing to his opinion. the bill falls short in accomplishing all that should be ac- eomplished by railroad legislation. Among the features the bill lacked were the following: A prohibition against railroads producing. selling or shipping their own coal and other like articles in competition with other own ers: a requirement that switches shall be built where needed to accommodate business; a requirement. compelling in- terstate roads 10 make connections with connecting lines and a require ment for the fair and just distribution of cars among shippers.
 He had. he said. introduced amend ments covering these defects. The most important of these.~ he said. '.is the one providing that interstate lines shaIl make prompt connections with connecting branch or lateral lines and fair. just and reasonable prorating az engagements with them.
 He declared that the pending bin was . clear delegation of the congressional power to fix rates and added.

Villagers, Abandoning Their Homes
 at Boscotrecase, Panic Stricken.
 NAPLES. April 7.-The eruption of Mount resuvius Is now most violent. On the Pompeii side the main stream of lava has divided into two, one threat ening 0ttajano, commune of 10000 inhabitants, and the other threatening Tore del Greco, with population of 80O00.
 The danger Is becoming serious, and calls for the immediate evacuation of Boscotrecase. the nearest village to the crater, which has population of 5000 souls.
 The main stream of lava proceeding from vesuvius is 200 feet wide. and it advances at times at the rate of twen- ty-one feet in a minute. the intense heat destroying vegetation before the stream reaches 1t. The peasants at Portici, at the west foot of Vesuvius. cleared their grounds of vineyards and trees in the effort to lessen the danger from fire and resisted the progress of the lava to their utmost. The popula- tIon of Boscotrecase. on the southern declivity of the mountain. have sought safety fin flight. and Bosco Reale. to the eastward, Is also threatened. Wo- men of this village. weeping with fright, carried a statue of St. Anne as near as they could go to the flowing lava. ImpIoring q miracle to stay the advance of the consuming stream.
 The cemetery at Boscotrecase has been invaded by lava.
 The scene at night is one of mingled grandeur and horror, as from the sum- init of yesuvius there leaps a column of fire fully a thousand feet in height. the glare lighting the sky and sea for many miles. Occasionally great mass es of molten stone. some weighing ss much as a ton. gre elected from the crater.
 The village of Terre del Greco. which has been eight times destroyed and as often rebuilt. is again threatened. and fhe inhabitants are in extreme terror

WASHINGTON, April 7.-In making an effort to get the senate to agree up- on date for taking vote on the rail- road rate bill MT. Tillman made the important statement that next week would probably exhaust the general debate on the measure. He failed, however, to secure the consent of MT. Aldrich, who said that he would not be willing to agree to vote on the bill until it was more nearly perfected than it now is.
 There were several speeches on the rate bill The first of these was made by Mir Elkins, who, while expressing the opinion that the situation demands legislation, indicated many defects in the pending bill.
 MT. Elkins was frequently interrupt ed, and several spirited colloquies marked the progress of his remarks.
 Mir. Elkins announced at the outset his desire to secure legislation that would give to the people "a prompt
