 Louis And Decided on Action.

St Louis, Mo, April 1o-That the railroads of Missouri have made all possible concessions tor the state au- thoritfes in the matter of passenger rates and win resist the Injunction suit filed Thursday in st. Louis. was the gist of an announcement made to- day at the close of the nrst session of "a gathering of executive officials of the eighteen systems interested.
 There will be no compromise oner of rates as Governor Hadiey hoped.
 Every railroad corporation made de- fendant in the suit for injunction was represented at today's meeting" said B. L. winchell. president of the Rock Island. We went over }the ground thoroughly and decided there was nothing else left to us than to go into court and present our reasons for try ing to put the Jew rate into operation.
 "No. we did not consider>a counter proposition to the governor. How could we do so legally? He, has had us en- joined from agreeing on one schedule of rates with three cents as maximum. We are told 1t was Illegal and in vio- lation of our charters. We might be guilty of discrimination again as pre- vioualy charged. So we decided to caii in the lawyers and tell them to sec what they can do".
 Frank Hagerfnan, of Kansas City. special counsel for the eighteen rail- ways and their regular attorneys met in the officers of the legal department of the Frisco after she conference and formed a reply to the charges in the petition filed for the governor by Cir cult Attorney Jones Thursday.

 Ladder.

New York, April 10--A thrilling struggle to save a mad woman from suicide occurred tonight on the ledge of the fifth story window of the hos pital for women at Eighteenth Street and Second Avenue.
 The woman. Mrs. Nora Hickey, 2S Years old, was finally saved from jump. ing Nto the street by the pluck of a doctor and a nurse with the help of the fire department.
 Mrs. Hickey, who had been a patient for several weeks, became suddenly in- sane tonight and in the temporary ab- sence of the nurse. thrust he feet through the heavy plate glass window panes in her ward. Through the jaf- ged hole thus made. Lshe pushed her body, cutting herself frightfully. and crept to the edge of the sill. sixty feet above the sidewalk. She was about to jump when Dr. Cranston, Conkling and Nurse Mcdonald who had heard the crash of glass, ce1Rht her by the arms. The woman struggled, screamed and bit. but they held on. Other doctors and nurses came to their aid and sheets were twisted about the woman who was now dangling in the air, resisting rescue with insane fury.
 The nurses and doctors, five in mum e Der, could do nothing but hold the woman and some one in the crowd. who had gathered in the street below, realized this, for an alarm was turned in and the fire apparatus came cIatter- ing to the scene. Ladders were run up and the woman was carried to safety by hremen.

 frOverSy.

Philadelphia, April 10.-DespiteS many conferences held in this city this week, terminating today. conditions with re- gard to wages in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania remain un- changed tonight, both the operators workers remaining firm in their de- cision not to come to an agreement al this time.
 During the conferences between the miners and the operators. which be- gan on Wednesday and ended yester- day, the operators refused to recog- nize the United Mine Workers, but of fered to renew the wage agreement which expired on March 31. This the miners rejected and they rendered a counter-proposition which the opera tors refused to entertain.
 The three distinct boards of the an thracite mine workers held practically an alildsy session today, discussing the situation, and adjourned finally without giving out an omcial state ment. It Is known. however, that g policy committee was appointed and that some of the mine workers enter tain the hope that an amicable agree ment with the operators will yet oe reached.
 Lewis of the mine workers gave out statement regarding his views of the situation. Mir. Lewis left for his home in Bridgeport, O., tonight.
 Althought 1t has been known that the miners will not inaugnrateya a strike because of the disagreement the atti- tude of the operators as to whether they will permit them to work with out an agreement is not known. The operators, 1t is said, will meet in New York on Monday. when the mining question will be discussed: It is saio ths ouestion of restoring the 50 cents a ton reduction on April delivery oi anthracite coal will also be discussed The Reading Company has instructed tts agents not to book any sales for coal pending further instructions. This move, it Is said, was taken because II was thought that dealers apprehen. stys of trouble at the mines would oyerstock themselves at the reduced figures during April.
