Pittsburg, Pa. Aug 5.-TO the disap-
pointment Of the 1900 anxious coal min
ers in the Pittshurg district. there was
no agreement reached to-day between
the miners officials and the Pittsburg
Coal Company. There was no conference.
President Frank Feehan. OF the miners
organization sending word that he was
i'll. and could not confer with the opera
tors to-day.
Fechan is said TO have collapsed
through worry over the situation. and ii
IS not now known when the conference,
which may tie up all the mines in the
Pittsburg district. will take place.
Much bitterness has been shown on
both sides, and it is openly charged by
the PitJsbUrg Coal Company people that
former President Frank L. Robbins, of
that concern, has had much to do with
stirring up the miners. Robbins Is at
present head of the Monongahela River
Coal and Coke Company, a rival OF the

line between the United States and
Canada. was the original authority for
the United States asserting dominion over
the island. the commission having award
ed the island to the United states. The
