EFFECT OF THE FALL OF KIAMIn

Refusal of Nazim Pasha to Return

Post Discussed.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
CONSTANTINOPLE.M March S.-The tels
egrams which have reached Constants
nople with news of the effect produced
in Europe by the fall of Kiamil Pasha
convey the impression that the change
of ministry is received favorably in Ger.
many, France and Italy, and regretfuily
in England. These messages, however,
are framed in general terms.
The refusal of Nazim Pasha to rec
turn to his former command at Adrianos
pie or to accept any other post from the
new government on the ground that ha
wholly condemns the participation of the
army in political affairs. which was the
direct cause of the rise TO power of ths
present ministry, is a serious blow. Had

two possible lternatives-either the com.

themselves assume the reins of power.
or they must withdraw and allow the
ostensible government to become also
the real government of the empire. One
point in their favor must be emphasized.
True to their traditions, they have car
ried out their latest coup without tho
smallest disturbance of order and with
out any open struggle. The mere pres

Sometimes newspapers arc mistaken
or perhaps it would be more just to say
that they are occasionally misinformed
as TO public events. A recent instance
of this kind is the case OF Las Ultimas
Noticias, a widely circulated and inhu-
entail journal published in Santiago.
Chile. A recent issue contained a list of
the cabinet of President Taft as fol-
lows:
Relaciones EXtcriorcs, Mr.. Phillanderko
de Pennsylvania.

Guerra, jeneral Luke Wright, de Ten
neSSee.

de Correos.
Interior, A. D. Olinser. de Washington.
Agriculture, James Wilson, de Iowa.
COmercio, William Loeb. de Neuva
York; actual secretario de President
Roosevelt.
Speaking seriously. all of the prominent
newspapers at the South American capi-
tails are expressing the highest confiden g
in the sympathy and good will of Presi-
dent Taft toward them and their inte 'ests
and they are predicting the continuance
of the friendly relations which have
marked the administration OF President
Roosevelt.

SCRANTON. Pa, March S.-The inn
preston prevails in the anthracite region
that a satisfactory settlement will be
reached at the conference OF represent
atives of the coal companies and mine
workers to be held in Philadelphia next
Thursday. Although reticent as to de-
tails. and opposed to publicity while
negotiations are pending. President
Thomas L. Lewis of the United Mine
Workers OF America. on the eve of his
departure for Indianapolis. expressed his
entire satisfaction with the result of his
recent visit to the coal presidents to ar
range for the coming meeting. The OBJ
lection raised by President Truesdale OF
the Lackawanna railroad, on the score
Of interference by the bituminous work
ers. has been met by the appointment of
a committee of anthracite representatives
to conduct the negotiations On the part
OF the anthracite miners. IT is believed
here that matters have already pro-
crossed SO far toward a settlement that
the entire matter will he disposed OF at
Thursdays meeting, which takes place
Reading.
Miners Yield One Demand.
One of the principal points in dispute Is
the length of time the agreement should
last. The miners have declared for year
ly contracts. The coal companies want
the contract made for three years. The
boards of trade in the principal towns
OF the coal field favor the long
term agreement. They claim that yearly
agitation and the threat OF a possible
striks paralyze business and are detri-
mental to their interests. In view of OBJ
tanning other concessions it Is said that
the miners have waived the one-year de-
mand and will accept the three-year con-
tract
Both sides are in a conciliatory mood,
but each refuses to discuss the situation
for publication. Mr.. Lewis believes in
face-to-face conferences. and is averse
to the writing of letters or manifestoes.
which, he says. simply aggravate the
situation by keeping the public mind in
ferment
Three Districts Involved.
There are three districts in the anthra-
cite region. The presidents Of these dis
tricts and the members OF the executive
boards. will constitute the representa-
tives of the miners in the coming con-
ference. While nothing definite as to
the outcome is yet known, there IS feel
ing oe optimism and it is hoped that
harmony will prevail and that there will
be no strike in the anthracite industry
this year.

Gave Ireland Inspiration.

Ireland a land of wonderful posSibili-
ties. possessing men able to make them
selves felt in any country but their own,
has seen It's sons prosecuted, downtrod-
den, denied education, denied the privi
lege OF entering the learned professions,
denied the benefits of the clergy, and for
bidden even to acquire, hold or transmit
land. The forced union with England was
the result Of a campaign Of deliberate
bribery and corruption in dissolving the
rotten borough system. which. bad as II
was, was the only form of government
left to the Irish.
1T was Robert Emmett. the inspiring
genius OF the rebellion Of 179S, who taught
the men Of the country that one year OF
bloodshed was better than 1000 years
Of peace in degradation. The rebellion
ended in defeat, but was he failure?
Not if he is judged by the works he has
wrought. Ireland now enjoys the right
