COMMITTEE IN SESSION TWICE FAILS TO MS. AND DEADLOCK STILL ON Talk of Compromise Is Rumored, but Stoutly Denied by All the Members.

GATHERING IS COSTLY AH W ish a Speedy Settlement, but Miners Refuse a 15 Per Cent. Reduction. No mat.-r! il (haue for the b tt-r or the worse has takt place within the la.-t twenty-fcur hours to foretell the outcome of the critical (Situation tiraii.iting from the disagreement of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania miners and operators on a wage scale for ISM coming mining year. The fight has prolonged itself into a waiting game, in whi-h both sides are hoping, seemingly against hope, that tVlbU will take a fortunate turn. The subscale committee, in whose hands the question now rests, hell two meeting jrcrtpröay. which could hardly be cailcd mcetlngr, for adjournment was taken both times sdSSOSt b I are the members were in their sea'.. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the committee met in the palm room of the Claypool, bjt adjourned within ten minutes, to assemble again at 2 o'clock In the afternoon, when the morning meeting was repeated. The committee did not even enter into a discussion of the issue, and the day's work left the deadlock unbroken. The subscale committed will meet again this morning at 10 o'clock, and it is felt by both miners and operators that some action will surely be taken. A certain mystery surrounds the meetings, and much speculation was made yest- nlay as to its object in adjourning both meetings without tackling the issue. A rumor was abroad in the lobby sf the Claypool yesterday that some members of th" commiee were working on a compromise, but both miners and 0 era tors of the committee said that compromise has not even been mw. . r-d. It is believed the waiting policy is being pursued in order to allow sentiment to shape itself ou one side Sr the other. AGREEMENT LOOKED FOR. While signs do not point at all favorably toward an adjustment. th r- ws a reeling Abroad yesterday that art agreement will be reached before the delegates leave the cityi; Th" question is beinj? discussed more free FAIR WEATHER TO-DAY; WARMER TO-MORROW WASHINGTON.

offered by either side both operators and miners ar ttemnnir.g to look for .such an end. It is stated with absolute certainty by the oiH-rators that the present i-- will not b reaffirmed by them and the minora as stoutly maintain that they will not take a 15 per cent, reduction. These two facts are stated as the only certain thingj known as to the final Otlb a . . The seriousness of the situation is fully realised by both in:?)' rs a'.d oo- rators. lt is generally felt that prolonging the right may have good results and in the and avert a strike. Some of the more conservative believe that a settlement is only a question of time on the grounds that neither side can afford a strike and must i f eesaarily si?n a scale befor- h aving the city. The end of the deadlock is now hardly expected before Saturday nii;ht, although there am hopes that to-day may bring forth results. SESSION OF CONVENTION. A session of the convention may be held to-morrow aftern if th: subscale committee can thresh out anything to report to the waiting delegates. Every day the miners keep their delegates in the city is costing them several thousand dollars, and consequently there is a desire to have a settlement as soon as possible. There is considerable speculation as to what compromise will be made. If events should take this course. It is generally believed that it will be in the neighborhood of about 5 per cent, reduction ou the present scale. lovra Miners (Oppose Reduction. DES MOINES. Ia.. March 3. The Thirte, nth district of Iowa Putted Mine Workers of America, In annual conference hre, went on record to-day as opposing the proposed reduction in the scale. At the joint conference with the operators, to be held next week, they will demand adherence to the present scale and will accept no other proposition in the form of a reduction, unless it bears the approval of President Mitchell. FOUR DEATHS INSTEAD OF THREE IN A RIOT Many Negroes Wounded in Wednesday's Race Conflict in the Indian Territory. FORT SMITH, Ark., March 3. In addition to John Hopper, J. C. Butler and C. A. Itlevins, white men. Walter Jackson, a negro, was killed in a conflict between whites and blacks at Bokashee. I. T. William Price, one of the negroes shot, Is at a hospital here. He says the negroes were ordered out of the camp and went. They returned the day following, armed and ready to resist an attack. Seventeen of them were, standing in a group on the depot platform, awaiting the arrival of a train, when one of the white men shot at Jackson, who returned the fire. Both men dropped dead. Both whites and blacks theu began shooting, the latter scattering in all directions and seeking places of safety. Their flight put a stop to the conflict. Price says many were wounded. The negroes were employed ou the Midland Valley Railroad, and their presence was objected to by the white laborers, who declined to work with them. Everything is now qui t. though there is an undercurrent of excitement in the vicinity of the camp. A party of six negroes who took part in the riot arrived later, and the police, under instructions from Territory officials, rounded f them up. CHIMNEY BUTTE RANCH TO BE AT ST. LOUIS FAIR President Roosevelt Is Shown a Photograph of His Former Prairie Home. WASHINGTON. March 3 Among the President's callers to-day was Senator Hansbrough. of North Dakota, who exhibited a photo of "Chimney Butte Ranch," in Billings county. North Dakota, which President Roosevelt occupied twenty years ago when he "was ranching" on the Little Missouri. It has been decided by the North Dakota people to remove the buildings to the St. Louis fair as part of the State exhibit, and Senator Hansbrough's mission was to obtain from the President some proof that the cabins were the same that he occupied. After examining the photo, the President wn.te th following OS a Mip of paper i "Joe and Sylvane Ferris can tell if this is the ranch house. It looks like it. It was theirs ami I UVi ii in it in jj ami part or "84 while ranching on the Little Missouri." Senator Hansbrough said he would have the penciled proof framed and hung in the ranch house when it was rebuilt at the fair. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS NEW YORK. March I.

BOMBS THROWS AT A FOREIGN MINISTER TOKIO. March 4. An Intrigue on the part of the oppostion at Seoul against the conelus:on of the Japanes-Korean protocol, culminated in the throwing of bombs at residences of the foreign minister and his secretary ear'.y Thursday morning. They escaped uninjured. ITO'S SON-IN-LAW TO CALL ON ROOSEVELT NEW YORK. March 3. Baron Suyematzu, son-in-law of Marquis Ito, of Japan, who arrived in this city yesterday on his way to Ensland, went to Washington to-day on a brief visit. It was learned that he had previously arranged, through Minister Takahira, for a meeting to-morrow with President Roosevelt and Secretary Hay. He will return to-morrow night and will sail Saturday on the Lucania. Before his departure to-day Baron Suyematzu said regarding the suggestion of M. Gabriel lianotaux. ex-forelgn minister of France, for intervention in the Russo-Japanese war: "I have a great rgard fur M. Hanotaux and he has probably good intention, but the carrying out of his plan would mean a great injury to Japan. We cannot give up our arms in this half-hearted way after having resorted to them only when all other expedients for a settlement failed. I will not say that the time may not come when proposals will be acceptable to us, but they should not be spoken of before a year or perhaps two years." EFFORT TO PREVENT A RAILWAY BLOCKADE ST. PETERSBURG. March 3. It is evident even from the meager Information regarding the Russian dispositions in northern Korea that the plan for checking the Japanese land advance is perfected, and that heavy reserves are being brought up to the Yalu river. Every energy of the authorities is now being directed to prevent a blockade on the Siberian Railroad. Twenty new sidings, each 2.200 feet, are being erected. Owing to the heavy movement of rolling stock carrying reinforcements, war munitions and commissariat stores eastward, there is great danger that in bringing back the empty cars the whole line may be stopped. With the sidings now building the authorities hope to be able to keep the line clear and to send eleven trains in each direction daily. Mail advices from Siberia say that the reserves from the rural districts seem to be much more anxious to 'go to the front than the townsmen. Many of the latter are presenting physician's certificates of illness. MISSIONARIES NOT ORDERED TO MANILA NEW YORK. March 3.-In view of the Washington press dispatches reporting that Americans in Seoul, Korea, and vicinity had been sent to the Philippines by direction of United States Minister Allen, Dr. H. K. Carroll, one of the corresponding secretaries of the missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, sent the following dispatch to Secretary of State Hay: "Have the missionaries in Korea been ordered by I'nited States Minister Allen to Manila or elsewhere? I respectfully ask in the interest of the missionary society of the Methodist Episcopal Church." Mr. Hay replied as follows: "Our missionaries In Korea have been advised to consult with Minister Allen and when practicable to follow his Indications. This movement does not assume to order their movements, but in time of war the legation opportunities for protection are limited by hostile movements and by difficulties of communication, so that prudence Is advisable, having in view the safety of missionaries and families." STRATEGIC MISSION OF THE RUSSIAN FLEET ST. PETERSBURG. Marcji 3 The naval organ says the chief strategical mission of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur is to prevent the Japanese from landing on the shores of the Gulf of Llao-Tung, thus protecting the right flank and rear of the forces in Manchuria from the Japanese army. Since the disappearance of the Japanese fleet from before Port Arthur the Russian authorities have been awaiting anxiously for the next move of the Japanese on the sea. There is an inclination here to believe that the Japanese have been discouraged by the failure of their attacks and perhaps by losses they have not announced. CHINA NOT ON THE EVE OF JOINING JAPAN PARIS, March 3 -Credcnce Is not given by the Foreign Office to the reports that China is on the eve of joining Japan in the war. All the advices received here indicate that China proposes to observe her declaration of neutrality and that the Chinese troops . :it north have instructions to enforce her neutrality. It Is understood that China has disavowed any collusion bet we. n her troo and the Chinese outlaws, explain

ing that those who have joined the latter are deserters, and. in the undisciplined state of the army, it is impossible to prevent them from leaving.

I nlted State Military Atturhes. SAN FRANCISCO. March 3.-Captain P. C. March, of the general staff, one of the I'nited States military attaches to the Japanese army, has arrived from Washington. The other attaches who will accompany the Mikado's troops are Colonel Enoch H. Crowder, judge advocate of the United States army and member of the general staff: Captain John F. Morrison, Twentieth Infantry, now stationed at Manila, and Captain Joseph E. Kuhn, engineer corps, alM stationed at Manila. These appontments were made by General Adna R. Chaffee. Colonel Crowder and Captain March will sail for Tokio on the next steamer leaving for the Orient. ( Hptnre of Prlres I plield. NAGASAKI, March 3. The naval prize court in sepsion at Sasebo yesterday upheld the legality of the capture by Japanese cruisers of the merchant steamers Argun, Mukden. Michael and Rossia and the whalers Nieolia and Alexander. Other cases are pending. An appeal was allowed to be taken within sixty days. The Argun, belonging to the Chinese Eastern Railway Company, was captured by the cruiser Hal-Yleu In the neighborhood of Fusan. Korea, at the outbreak of the war. She was taken to Sasebo on Feb. L The other prizes named reached that port about the same time. o French Islands for Hassia. PARIS. March 3. It is authoritatively announced that France has not been approached to cede any islands to Russia for use as coaling stations by the latter when she sends her Baltic fleet to the far East. Should Russia make a request to this effect it would be denied, as such action would be regarded as a breach of neutrality. To show France's purpose to remain neutral it is pointed out that Russia has a coal depot at Villefranche, near Nice, but that Russian ships will not be allowed to use that station as in time of peace. Rnsslans Most Not Rejolee. NEW YORK, March 3. A decree has been signed by the Ciar, says a Times dispatch from a Russian correspondent, instructing M. Plehve, the minister of the interior, to adopt strict measures against patriotic manifestations. It Is held that these demonstrations are not only Inappropriate, because they celebrate Imaginary victories, but that they are also likely to produce counter manifestations. The attitude of the pupils of the high school for women has caused the government to close that establishment. Ship for Refugee. WASHINGTON, March 3.-Minister Allen reported to the State Department from Seoul to-day by cable that he has determined to send an American ship to the vicinity of Ping-Yang to remove to a place of satety the women among the refugees gathered there. The cruiser Cincinnati, which is lying at Chemulpo, will bring away these people. Revolt Aaralnst Boxer Indemnity Tax. SHANGHAI, March 3.

March 3-For the first time since the emancipation of the 6erfs in 1S61 the anniversary to-day was officially observed throughout the empire as a general holiday and with special services in the churches. The newspapers took the occasion to review the reforms introduced by Cxar Alexander II who by a stroke of his pen freed 23.O0O.OOO serfs declaring that the present celebration may be regarded as a turning point In Ruisian history, marking t':e recognition of a wider freedom In natioru: i life, the realisation of which hi nut far distant, provided the na

because of its phenomenal growth Arthur.

tion properly exerts the influences which have been so unexpectedly united by the war. At the big central market of St. Petersburg thousands stood in the open air, uncovered, joining in the chanting of a Te Deum. Several Russian sculptors have gone to the far East to model war types on the spot. This is believed to be the first attempt of the kind. Yavorsjaya. the Russian Bernhardt, went to Kolpino. near here, and presented each man of the pontoon detachment which left Kolpino yesterday for the far East with a canvas bag containing felt boots, a shirt, a towel and minor comforts. The government takes the view that the Japanese-Korean treaty is in direct contradiction to the Anplo-Japanese convention, the Russo-Japanese agreement and all preceding agreement, proclaiming Korean in-dep-ndenee. and that as it was drawn up under duress It cannot have legal force. BARE MAJORITY FOR SUFFRAGE MEASURE Maryland Senate Votes to Eliminate the Negro by No More than the Necessary Number. ANNAPOLIS. Md., March 3. The Democratic organisation mtasure, being a proposed amendment to the State Constitution to regulate the suffrage-, and admittedly for the purpose of eliminating the negro vote, was passed in the State Senate to-day. The final passage through the Senate attracted no more attention than the disposal of som$ trifling local bill. No Republican senator had anything to say In opposition to it, nor was it championed by any of the Democrats. The bill received seventeen votes, all Democratic, while the eight Republican senators were solidly agalnat it. This is the bare threefifths vote of all the members of the body which is required when a constitutional amendment is to be submitted. BIG TIMBER DEAL. Nearly 55,000 Acres of Southern Land Bought for $535,000. ASHEVILLE, N. C. March 3. One of the biggest timber deals ever recorded in this part of the State was consummated today when G. W.

Three of the four Russian torpedo boats which returned here yesterday after having sailed ostensibly for Algiers, were considerably weather beaten. They were refused an additional supply of coal and ordered to leave port. The Russian ships at Port Said and Suez repeatedly overstay their time limit in spite of the protests of the government. BERLIN. March 3. Advices received here from St. Petersburg to-day say that new orden have been sent to Admiral Wirenius to keep his squadron In the Red sea for the purpose of watching passing war vessels and to capture vessels carrying contraband of war. BIDS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT REJECTED WASHINGTON, March 3. The Interior Department to-day rejected all the bids submitted several days ago for the supply of from 150,000 to 250.000 barrels of Portland cement to the government for the Salt river Irrigation project in Arizona. The action is the result of the alleged excessive prices submitted by the cement manufacturers, the department stating that first-class Portland cement can be made at the Salt river site at a saving of about $2 a barrel. The department will now consider the question of erecting a plant for the government manufacture of the cement, the purchase of th' supply in open market or readvertisement of bids. . JUDICIAL DEADLOCK IN AN OIL TAX CASE MONTGOMERY. Ala.. March 3 -The oil tax case is tied up in the Supreme Court of Alabama and it is likely that Governor Jelks will be compelled to appoint a special judge to break the deadlock.

PAID $43 A WEEK OH L0AH0FA THOUSAND Total Loans of $4.000 Cost Chicago Man $32.000 in Four Years W ithout Settlement.

IXTERVEXTIOX OF COURT CHICAGO. March 3 After paying Major William W. Bell more than $2:.0 as int rest on a loan of 14.000 fcr four years. Charle E. Rand, a real-estate dealer, wanted to "call the deal off." To h'.s surprise, he found that Major Bell still held his checks for $7.3jO. none of which had been presented to the bsnk. Judge Kavanaugh ha3 ordered that a decve? L entered, compelling the return of the security z.nd checks, but has denied the petition for the return of excess Interest. On the last day of December. 1895. Charles E. Rand borrowed fl.CW from Ma.lor WdBam W. Bell, father of Lillian Bell, the author, and gave hl3 check for MM and took Major Bell's cheek for 1957. The former check was not to be presented at the banl: until the expiration of one week. Dt fore that time elapred he found that he wov!2 be unable to pay the check and told Major Bell so. The latter loaned him another check for $957, and one for Sl.uOO. good one weelc. later. With the $957 sc. u red on Major Bell's check tor aü7 and $4J from his own pocket, he paid hii first check for 51.000. As the days, wee!;s, months and years went along Mr. Rand still found himrelf unable to close up the deal. The amount of interest, rated at $43 each week, for each $1.000. mounted up so rapidly that soon hwas borrowing more than $4.000, and he swore in court that this was about the average during the four years his dealings with Mr. Bell ran on. In lh Mr. Rand made a new arrangement with Major Bell whereby his checks for $1.'J00 each were to be discounted by Major Bell at the rate of $5 a day interest for each $1.000. As time went on Rand would borrow on Mondays. Wednesdays and Saturdays to keep down the interest, the Wednesday loan being made to take up the loan of Monday and the Saturday checa being given to cover the loan of Wednesday, and so on. Early in January. 1900. Mr. Rand alleged he Mas politely informed that Major Bell held checks signed by him which had not yet been presented to the bank, amounting to $7,150. and that Major Bell also held notes signed by Rand and his father for Bell declined to call the deal off, it is said, except by giving Rand $50 and collecting the money repiesented by the notes for $,000. This Rand would not agree to and as a result he immediately petitioned the court to issue an injunction, restraining Major Bell from collecting the notes or from disposing of the cheeks. When the case was heard by Master in Chane i y Victor Eltlng, Major Bell testified that he loaned to other people at the same approximate rate as that charged Mr. Rand.

Conper. former cashier of the Citizens' National Bank of McGregor, recently closed by the national bank examiner, was to-day convicted of embezzlement and given live .years in the fedal penitentiary, the minimum sentence.
