from the same gentleman, asking con

and for direct election of L. s. Sena-

referred to the committee on cOnsti-

Senator Beard spoke in favor of vOt-

Isuspicious of conventions, appeared

hours and snatched almost from the
Jaws of death the seven men taken
from the Berwind-White mine No. 3S
at Foustwell are lying in the Windber
hospital physically exhausted and oh.
livious to all around them.
Immediately upon being brought out
of the mine all the men wanted to go
to their homes and were taken to the
hospital under protest. No food was
given them at first, but a stimulant in
the form of brandy and water was adj
ministered to all.
Soon after arriving at the hospital
the men fell into sound sleep and no
communication is allowed with them.
The men are not disturbed except at
regular intervals. when the nurses adj
minister hot broths and nourishment.
Immediately after these treatments
the men again drop to sleep, apparent.
ly absolutely exhausted.
The hospital physicians say that the
men will be able to be about in a few
days, but they would be weak and un.
able to resume their regular duties for
a week or more.

MINOR LABOR TROUBLES.
Unusually Quiet May Day Throughout
New England.

Boston, May 2.-An unusually quiet
May day throughout New England,
with the exception of this city, was
experienced in labor circles. Minor
troubles in the building trades in some
of the cities and towns were the most
discordant notes outside the Greater
Boston district, where 1,500 men went
out for higher wages, while the team
sters' strike, which started a month
ago, is still in force with almost daily
Genes of disorder.
The majority of the new men who
went out were ~boilermakers, number
ing 1,200. They ask for a 10 per cent
increase in pay, The cement and as
phalt workers to the number OF 2l0
quit work pending the result of de-
alterations by their employers regard
ing a new wage adjustment. In the
building trades and other industries
An amicable adjustment of existing

DECISION IS POSTPONED.
San Francisco Street Car Men Delay
Action on Strike.

San Francisco, May 2.-About 1900
members of the Garments union met
at the Central theater at 1875 a. m. to
vote upon the question as to whether
there should be industrial peace or
industrial strife in this city.
The refusal of the management of
the United Railways in this city TO
concede the demands of the men for
SO for a day of eight hours was dis
cussed at length and also a PROPOSE
ton to substitute the scale of wages
adopted by the Oakland lines, which
it was thought by some might be ia
vored by the men.
1t was finally decided to leave the
settlement of the question to the ex
ecutive committee and Father z. c.
Yorke, who represented the men on
the recent arbitration committee. This
committee is to report to the men at
a mass meeting which will be held on
next Saturday night. This leaves the
question of a strike open until that
date, after the report of the committee
has been received.

Mr.. Mellen was asked whether there
had been a discussion of the railroad
valuation question, but continued to
maintain his reticence. He said he
had no objection to anything the pres
ident might make public about the
interview.
Mr.. Mellen was pressed for informa-
ton as to his opinion on valuation Of
railroads, but declared that he was
not in favor of anything in particular.
He added that he had charge of a lit
tie piece of railroad property and
would like to run it in peace and
quiet. He admitted that the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road was prosperous, but he said with
a smile that he would not like to say
too much about that. "They some

Negroes Of Bad Character Ordered "a
Leave Town.

G~reensburg, Ind, May 1.-THE bitter
feeling against negroes as a result OF
an assault on Mrs. Burton, an aged
white woman, last Saturday night,

were badly beaten, n of whom may
die.
The mob was formed by three white
men and rapidly increased to 900. All
saloons and other places frequented
by negroes were visited and the furni
ture and fixtures demolished. Negroes
found in the places were beaten and
warned to leave town. The authors
ties finally induced the crowd to dis

of bad character will be compelled to
leave. Many negroes have already de
parted and others will be notified by
the police to leave. No arrests were
