 Agreed On.
 Washington, March 2S.-A program of subjects to be considered at the Pan- American Congress, to be held in Rio Janeiro, beginning July 21, was agreed on today by the committee of the Con gress having that matter in charge, and of which Secretary Root is chair man.
 There are perhaps dozen general topics in all on the program, covering practically all the matters of an inter national character of interest to the nations both of North and South Amer ica. Secretary Root is not prepared to make public in detail the subjects to De considered. These subjects, however, include sanitary and quarantine regula- tfons, uniformity of patent laws, in- ternational recognition of diplomas and of practitioners of the learned pro fessions; questions affecting commer- ciaI intercourse and an international railroad.
 It is expected what is commonly known as the Drago doctrine, which Is opposed to the forcible collection of private debts by one nation from an other. a doctrine adhered to by the United States. will come up for con alteration in some form.

OFFER OF ROBBINS
WILLING TO PAY THE SCALE OF
 1903.
Other Operators, However, Will Not Agree to This, and Miners Insist That There Must Re An
 Increase.

Indianapolis, March 2S-The joint conference of the coal miners and operators of the central competitive district adjourned today until tomor- row afternoon at 2 o'clock with no settlement of their wage differences reported and with none in prospect so | far as any indications pointed.
 motion to continue the present scale for two years made by the opera tors was defeated by the solid vote of the miners. An amendment to presi- dent Mitchells motio.- to restore the scale of 1903 offered by L. Robbins of the Pennsylvania operators and that | it be made effective for two years was accepted by MT. Mitchell, subject to the ratification of the national miners convention, which will meet tomorrow morning to consider the question.
 This was the only action taken dur ing the day. The rest was argument, during the course of which great l earnestness upon the part of the miners and both factions of the opera tors was shown.
 President Mitchell charged that many coal companies are owned by railroads and the profit on coal is not indicated by the books of the coal companies, as much of it Is absorbed by the railroads He announced that I future to ask for more wages If the market justified and stated positively that the miners would adhere to their demand for an increase at this time.
 Operators of Illinois, Iadiana and Ohio, speaking through A. J. Moor head of Illinois, who said that he thought Illinois should break away from the interstate agreement; H. N. Taylor of Illinois, R R. Hammond.  of the Illinois Miners, reaffirmed their refusal to pay any advance.
 F. l. Robbins of Pennsylvania of fered to pay the advance asked not only in the mines of the Pittsburg Coal Company but in his own mines in Pennsylvania, Chio and Illinois. and urged the miners to sign the scale wherever it was offered, even though the mines of the other operators should lie idle.
 There were a number of suggestions and hints of an arbitration commits sion during the day. R. R Hammond said the complications of the coal situation would never be understood by the public until they had been examined by a commission and he was willing that the differences should be settled by a commission. w. D. Kuhn of the independent operators made re- ference to a possible commission to be appointed by the president. President Mitchell said in one of his speeches.:
 q want to ask the operators of the Pittsburg district If they are in ac- cord with the suggestion as to an investigation I want to ask MT. Winder if this proposed investigation contemp- lates an investigation as to the relative cost of producing coal in pick and machine mines"
 Mir J. H Winder. chairman of the operators replied: If there is to be an investigation upon which the price of mining is to be fixed and the re- Iative differences adjusted it would be

CONTEST BETWEEN COMMITTEES
Rivers and HarbOrs and Interstate Cnuarnerce Einhf for Control.

Rivers and HnrbOrs and Interstate
 Commerce Fight for Control.
 Washington, March 2S.-There is to be a contest regarding committee juris- diction of dams between the Rivers and Harbors Committee and the Com mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com merce A resolution which brings this question before the Rules Committee for action has been introduced by MT. Burton (ohio), Chairman of the Riv- CTS and Harbors Committee, on which a hearing will be requested.
 The resolution has its immediate in spiration because of attention which the committee is now giving a meas ure providing that water may be taken from the Sacramento River in California for irrigation purposes. Much money has been expended on this river to make it navigable. This has been accomplished for a distance of 266 miles. The proposition to allow water to be taken from the stream will rem der it too low for. navigation by the river boats, according to the belief of MT. Rurton's committee, hence the res oIution which prescrioes that hereafter all bills for dams across navigable streams shall go to the Rivers and liar bors Committee.
 There is a great confusion at pres ent in reference of dam bills. Some Ro to one and some to another commit tee. The Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce is one of the old est committees in the House. It was established in 1794 as the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures.
 About twenty years later the Com mittee on Manufactures was created as a separate committee, and later origi- mated tariff bills to some extent until it's jurisdiction of such matters was successfully disputed by the Commit tee on Ways and Means. In 1883 the Committee on Rivers and Harbors was created and still further depleted the jurisdiction of the Commerce Commit fAo

 The fire broke out in the five-story brick building at the corner of Main and Bedford streets, occupied by the Swank Hardware company. dealers in paints, oils and hardware, and spread rapidly.

 The firemen were seriosuiy handi- capped by inadequate equipment and constantly bursting hose and for time it was thought aid would have to be summoner from Altoona. This. how ever, was not necessary when the flames had swept over the five build ings and died down in the Gels build ing.

 Answering the arguments made dur ing the day against an advance, Mir. Mitchell closed the debate for the af- ternoon with the following statement:
 The miners, in case of strike, will have no riots and no bloodshed. We may, if a prolonged strike takes place, have hunger and we may wear poor clothes We may endure greater hard ships, but the miners are just as law abiding and just as patriotic as are gentlemen on your side"
