MINERS IN MEETING
PREPARE FOR BATTLE
Will Meet Anthracite Operators Next
Week-Important Matters Dis
eussed, Says Lewis.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Mar. 6.-About
fifty representatives of the mine
workers union met yesterday with
National President Lewis for the pur.
pose of arranging for a conference
with the anthracite coaloperating In.
terests. At the conclusion of the ses.
sion President Lewis issued the fol.
lowing statement:
The meeting of three district
boards was to consider the prospective
conference with the anthracite opera
tors. Many matters in this confer.
ence, like others, will not be given to
the public, not because we would not
like to take them fully into our con.
fidence at this time, but for the rea.
son that we believe 1t would be an
unwise business method to divulge
negotiations which are pending and
which will affect vitally so many peo.
pie as well as varied interests.
"The conference between the an.
thracite operators and the United
Mine Workers representatives will be
held at the Reading Terminal build
ing beginning Thursday, March IL, at
II o'clock a. m. This is contingent
only on the possible postponement to
a later date of few days on account
of the pressing nature of the business
of interested parties. The members
of the three anthracite district execu.
tive boards and the three International
board members of the anthracite dis
tricts with such other representatives
as we may select will go to Philadel-
phia to attend this conference"
Mr.. Lewis says that while In Phil
adelphia he met President Baer OF the
Philadelphia e. Reading Company,
President Morse Williams of the Sus-
quehanna Coal Company, representing
the Pennsylvania railroad coal in.
terests, and w. A. Lathrop, president
of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Com.
pany. In New York he met President
Truesdale of the Delaware, Lackawan.
ma & Western Company; President
Loree of the Delaware & Hudson Com.
pany, and President Thomas of the
Lehigh Valley railroad. With them
he arranged conference for next
Thursday.

African Junees and European Cap
itals-Declines to Talk About Ma
tiona Affairs.

oyster Bay, n. Y, Mar. 6.--Citizen
Roosevelt's first day as a private ei,l-
zen was spent in a decidedly quet
manner at his home at oagamo
.1ill, which was swept clear OF sno"
by gale of cold wind and has tne
appearance of desolate and bleak
place.
Notwithstanding the cold wind Mr..
Roosevelt was out early dttlred in
knickerbockers, brown nannel shir,
and heavy walking shoes and took his
daily exercise in the woods. His day
was interrupted by calls from a score
of newspaper representatives to OBJ
tain an interview. At hrst he refused
to talk.
Leaves for Africa March %.
Finally, however, he consented to
say few words and made the first
puolic announcement OF the date and
steamer on which he is 10 depart for
Africa, which is March %, by the
steamer Hamburg.
It is a happy family at Sycamore
H.ll. Mr. Roosevelt is enjoying an
uninterrupted democratic life and in
tends TO continue to enjoy 1t until
starting on his hunting trip.
Several bouquets of American
Beauty roses, the gift of admiring
friends. were sent to Sycamore Hill
for Mr. aud Mrs. Roosevelt from New
York.
More than anything else Mr.. Roose
h. l.. II.
A deluge of letters, teiegrams and
cablegrams poured into Sycamore Hill
bringing to the former president the
kindly sentiments of friends from all
parts of the world. So great Is the
number of these messages that he
asked the press to announce that
while he appreciated these and would
like to reply to each, II is a physical
impossibility for him to answer even
one-tenth of them.
Brings Treasured Picture.
Mr. Roosevelt brought with him
from Washington portrait of his
mothers old home In Georgia. Il was
presented to him by Mrs. Ella d. Long
street, widow of the late Gen. James
Longstreet, postmistress at Gaines
Vile, Ga, as representative of the
donors, 2S postmistresses throughout
the country.
One of his last acts before retiring
from office was TO issue an order sup
plementing that made by him Augus
1, 1905, prohibiting the use of infu
ence to obtain assignments to duty BY
officers OF the navy and marine corps
The order directs that hereafter al
requests and recommendations writ

partment from or on behalf of sucl
officers of whatever nature-othe
than those received through regular
