FIGHT ON UNIONISM
Arbitration Conference Ends
Without Result.
OPPOSING SIDES REMAIN FIRM
Miners, However, Withdraw Their
Threat to Strike April 1, Pend-
ing- Farther DItfcutisioB,
of the Dispute.
NEW YORK. March 27.-Mlneworkers
and mlneowners of the anthracite fields
debated their differences for four hours
today. In a conference arranged by the
conciliation committee of the National
Civic Federation, but the meeting was
without result, save that the workers
agreed not to strike April 1, as decided at
the Shamokin convention. There Is to be
further friendly discussion between the
two interests, and Senator Hanna, as
chairman of the industrial department of
the federation, was empowered to call an
other conference at any favorable time
within the next SO days.
The workers asked for an Increase In
pay. a shortening of the working day to
eight hours, and the adoption of a scale
for the entire district. The operators de
clined to grant the demands as to time
and pay, and refused to permit the com
plete unionizing of their properties. The
operators offered to meet employes with
grievances at any time, but Insisted that
there be no distinction between union
and non-union men. They also asserted
that present market conditions do not
warrant any increase in wages or a de
crease in working time. .,
Senator Hanna, Oscar C. Straus and
Frank Duncan, a sub-committee named
by the conciliators, arranged for the con
ference. The operators present were: W.
H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & "Western Railroad; E. B.
Thomas, chairman of the board of the
Erie Railroad; George F. Baer, of the
Reading Railroad, and Robert Ollphant,
president of the Delaware & Hudson Com
pany, while the spokesmen for the miners
were: John Mitchell, president of the
United Mineworkers, and District Presi
dents Nlchola, John Fahey and Thomas
Duffy.
The labor leaders contended that the
men were not given satisfactory pay, and
that there were inequalities In the present
wage system, which should be remedied
by the adoption of a uniform scale. They
also held that the working day should be
shortened. The operators contended that
the higher pay and shorter day demanded
would represent a wage increase of 23 per
cent, which commercial conditions do not
warrant.
The presidents of the coal companies
outlined three propositions, and said that
under no circumstances would they re
cede. Those propositions were as follows:
"First There should be no distinction
between union and non-union men.
"Second The officials of the companies
would meet committees consisting of em
ployes to discuss and adjust all griev
ances. The members of the committees
must be persons in the employ of the
companies, but the matter of their ap
pointment would not be Inquired into,
either as to their religion, politics or mem
bership in labor organizations.
"Third The coal must be prepared to
meet the market requirements, and the
output of the mines must be maintained
at their productive capacity, and in no
way Interfered with."
The presidents also made the point that
the ultimatum of the union to strike April
1 did not give proper time for a discussion
of the differences existing, and seemed
like a threat held over them. President
Mitchell and his associates said they were
highly desirous of improving the condition
of their fellow-workmen by peaceful
means, and. while there was any prospect
of accomplishing this purpose by such
means, they were prepared to withhold
the strike order. Mr. Mitchell agreed to
withdraw the order temporarily, to give
opportunity for the second conference,
which Senator Hanna- is to call.
"When Senator Hanna came from the
conference room he said: "The miners'
representatives have pledged themselves
to withdraw the threat of a partial strike
on April 1. Both sides are to take time to
consider the representations made today,
and in 30 days the committee Is to meet
and hear the results of this deliberation.
An agreement seems likely."
Colorado Miners' Convention.
PUEBLO, Colo.. March 27. The conven
tion of the United Mineworkers of Amer
ica of the Fifteenth District, which em
braces Colorado, New Mexico and Utah,
this afternoon concluded a three days'
Eesslon filled with hard work. It was tne
largest convention of coal miners ever
held west of the Mississippi River. Sev
eral decisive measures were decided upon,
among them being a plan for a co-operative
coal mine, an insurance feature for
union members, and legal measures look
ing to the enforcement of the bi-monthly
pay-day law.
Afirrce to a Ten-Hour Day.
ALTOONA. Pa., March 27. The bitumin
ous coal miners and operators today
agreed to continue the scale another year.
It calls for a 60-cent pick mining rate
and a 10-hour day. The 10-hour day Is
one of the important features, as it practi
cally eliminates the eight-hour day from
the anthracite field. The settlement, it
is said, has the approval of the National
officials.
Furnacemen" Demand.
TOUNGSTOWN, O., March 27. The
Furnacemen's Union will meet here to

favorable to granting their demand.

NnsturtlHin's Chances.
NEW YORK, March 27. "If you were
to ask my opinion of Nasturtium's chances
of winning the English Derby, I would
say 1$ do not believe he hag one in 10,00)."
This was W. C. Whitney's reply to a
query about his $50,000 colt's physical con-
uiuun, says me worm.
"I have not decided on any action at
present," he said, when asked if he had
decided to withdraw the entry. "The
race is too far off to say just what I will
do. My last letter from Mr. Hugglns
stated that Nasturtium was slowly im
proving ln health. That was some time
ago. Mr. Hugglns Is not much of a letter
writer. He is a much better trainer.
"The colt, I believe, has been exercising
lately, but nothing fast or long has been
asked of him. From all I have heard, he
was quite 111 and wasted away considera
bly. The interval of time is so short be
fore the race about two months that I
hardly believe he will be able to start. It
will take all that time. It seems to me to
get his health back again."
Asked If he Is ln .favor of the "no re
call'' system, Mr. Whitney said:
"Yes, I am. The old style of starting
horses was Injurious. Rushing a horse
away from the post at top speed and then
pulling hlm up suddenly was more harm
ful to him than the race would have been
worth. All this Is obviated under the
new system. The horse runs as fast as he
Is capable and the best horse invariably
wins."
Coronation Sports.
NEW YORK, March 27. G. C. Lea
founder of the National Sporting Club of
London, and W. A. Gavin, chairman of
the directorate, who, as a committee, ar
rived hero March S to secure professional
and amateur athletic talent to compete
with European athletes in London during

"The following pugilists have signed
contracts with us," said Mr. Gavin: "Gus
Ruhlln, Kid McCoy. George Gardner, Tom
my Ryan, Tom Sharkey, Joe Walcott,
Frank Erne, Harry Harris and Johnny
Gorman, and negotiations are under way
to secure Harvey Parker, the wrestler.
We have to leave for home sooner than
we expected, as we have entire charge
of the coronation tournaments, and we
must be baok to judge the talent which
has been procured on the Coritlnent end
in the Orient by ether agents.

RELATIONS WITH. CUBA
PROVISION FOR DIPLOMATIC AND
CONSULAR REPRESENTATION.
Presidential Mcsiage Recommends
That Appropriation Be Made for
Salaries of Ministers.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Presi
dent today cent to Congress the follow
ing message recommending provision for
diplomatic and consular representation
ln Cuba:
"To the Congress of the United Stated:
I commend to the Congress timely con
sideration of measures for maintaining
diplomatic and consular representatives
in Cuba and for carrying out the pro
visions of the act making appropriation
for the support of the Army for the fiscal
year ending June 30. 1902. approved March
2. 1901, reading as follows: 'Provided.
further. That In fulfillment of the dec
laration ' contained ln the joint resolution
approved April 20. 1SS8, entitled. "For
the recognition of the Independence of the
people of Cuba, demanding that the Gov
ernment of Spain relinquish Its authority
and government in the Island of Cuba,
and to withdraw Its land and naval forces
from Cuba and Cuban waters, and direct
ing the President of the United States
to use the land and naval forces of
the United States to carry these resolu
tions Into effect." the President Is hereby
authorized to leave the government and
control of the Island of Cuba to its peo
ple, so soon as a 'government shall have
been established ln said Island under a
constitution which, either as a part
thereof, or in an ordinance appended
thereto, shall define the future rpintinna
of the United States with Cuba, substan
tially as follows:
" 'First That the Government of Cuba
shall never enter into any treaty or other
compact with any foreign power or
powers which will Impair or tend to im
pair the independence of Cub, nor In
any manner authorize or permit any
foreign power or "powers to obtain, by
colonization or for military or naVal
purposes, or otherwise. lodgment In or
control over any portion of said Island.
" 'Second That said government shall
not assume or contract any public debt,
to pay the interest upon which, and to
make reasonable sinking fund provision
for the ultimate discharge of which the
ordinary revenues of the Island, after
defraying the current expenses of govern
ment, shall be Inadequate.
" 'Third That the Government of
Cuba consents that the United States may
exercise the right to intervene for the
preservation of Cuban Independence, the
maintenance of a government adequate
for the protection of life, property and
individual liberty, and for discharging
the obligations with respect to Cuba, im
posed by the treaty of Paris, of the United
States, now to be assumed and under
taken by the Government of Cuba.
" 'Fourth That all acts of the United
States In Cuba during its military oc
cupancy thereof are ratified and validated,
and all lawful rights acquired there
under shall be maintained and protected.
" 'Fifth That the Government of Piihn
will execute and. as far as necessary, ex
tend the plans already devised, or other
plans to be actually agreed upon for the
sanitation of the cities of the island, to
me ena mat a recurrence of epidemic
and infectious diseases may be prevented,
thereby assuring protection to the people
and commerce of Cuba, as well as to
the commerce of the Southern ports of
the United States and the pedple residing
therein.
" 'Sixth That the Isle of Pines shall be
omitted from the proposed constitutional
boundaries of Cuba, the title thereto be
ing left to future adjustment by treaty
"'Seventh That to enable the
United States to maintain the in
dependence of Cuba and to pro
tect the people thereof, as well" as
lor its own defense, the Government of
Cuba will sell or lease to the United
States lands necessary for coaling and
naval stations at certain specified points
to be agreed upon with the President of
the United States.
Eighth That by way of further as
surances the Government of Cuba will
embody the foregoing provisions ln a
permanent treaty with the United States.
"The people of Cuba havinc fram. n
constitution embracing the foregoing re
quirements and having elected a Presi
dent, who Is soon to take office, the tlmo
is near for fho fulfillment of the pledge
of the United States to leave the govern
ment and control of the Island of Cuba
to its people. I am advised by the Secre
tary of War that it is now expected
that the installation of the Government
of Cuba and the termination of the mili
tary occupation of the Island by the
United States will take place on the 20th
of. May, next.
"It Is necessary and appropriate that
the establishment of international rela
tions with the Government of Cuba should
coincide .with Its Inauguration as well as
to provide a channel for the conduct of
diplomatic relations with the new state,
so as to open the path for the immediate
negotiation or conventional agreements
to carry out the provisions of the act
above quoted. It is also advisable that
consular representation be established
jvlthout delay at the principal Cuban
ports, in order that commerce with the
Island may be conducted with due regard
to the formalities prescribed by the reve
nue and navigation statutes of the United t
States, and that American citizenship in
Cuba may have the customary local re
sorts open to them for their business
needs and. the case arising, for the pro
tection of their rights.
"I therefore recommend that provision
be forthwith made and the salaries ap
propriated to be immediately available
for, (a) Envoy Extraordinary and Minis
ter Plenipotentiary to the Republic of
Cuba, $10,000; (b) Secretary of the Lega
tion. $2000; (2) Second Secretary of the
Legation, $1500; (d) Consul-General at
Havana, 5000; (e) Consul at Clenfuegos,
$3000; at Santiago do Cuba, $3000. I do not
recommend the present restoration of tho
consulates formerly maintained at Bara
coa, Cardenas. Mantanzas, Nuevltas,
Sagua do Lagrande and San Juan de Los
Remedlos. Tho commercial interests at
those ports heretofore have not been
large. The consular fees collected there
during the fiscal year 1S97-93 aggregated
552,000. It Is believed that the actual
needs of the six officers named can be
efficiently subserved by agents under the
three principal consular officers until
events may show the necessity of erect
ing a full consulate at any point. The
commercial and political ends ln the
Island of Cuba, while under the Spanish
crown, afford little basis for estimating
the local development of Intercourse with
this country under the Influence of the
new relations which have been created
by the achievement of Cuban Independ
ence, and which are to be broadened and
strengthened Jn every proper way by
conventional pacts with the Cubans and
by wise and beneficent legislation aiming
to stimulate the commerce between tho
two countries. If the great task we ac
cepted ln 1S9S Is to be fittingly accomp
lished. THEODORE ROOSEVET.T.

WANT TO BE CONSULS.
Many Americans Anxioas to Go
to
Cuba.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-It is the
present understanding that Gonzales de
Quesada, ex-Cuban Commissioner, will be
the first Minister for Cuba to the United
States.
There are no less than 200 applications
on file for the Cuban Consulates already
and the sending of the President's message
on the subject Is expected vastly to in--crease
this number. The President has
not yet Indicated the person he will name
as United States 2Ilnlster to Cuba but
in view of the fact that this official must
negotiate the treaties with the new renub-
OBEGONIAM, FEIDAY,
He, It is expected that the choice will
fall upon some one not altogether lacking
in diplomatic experience. The choice will
certainly not fall on an Army or Naval
officer ln the present state of mind of the
Executive.
Preliminary steps have already been
taken by the United States Government to
locate the naval and coaling stations
which, by the terms of the Piatt amend
ment, are to be ceded by treaty to the
United States. Rear-Admiral Bradford,
Chief of the Equipment Bureau of the
Navy Department, has given special at
tention to this subject and for th last
two weeks has been cruising In West In
dian waters, particularly directing1 his at
tention to Cuban ports. He has arrived at
Guantanamo, and it is believed that here
will be located the principal, if not the
only United States naval station ln Cuba.
ine narbor is capable of easy defense
against an enemy, and the health condi
tions are better than ln Santiago. There
is also more anchorage room.
The Cubans do not want a naval stntlon
at Havana proper, and the United States
Government is willing to defer to the
Cuban national pride ln this matter. Buc
one of the coaling stations without de
fenses and so entirely different from a
naval station will be located at Havana
harbor, probably Just across the bay from
Havana, and connecting by rail with the
principal railway system.
"Wants Maine Wreclc Raised.
WASHINGTON, March 27. General
Wood has brought to the attention of
the War Department, through the. me
dium of a formal letter, the propriety of
making some arrangement for raising the
wreck of the Maine from the ooze and
mud ln which she lies Imbedded ln Ha
vana harbor. It Is stated by him that
not only are there sentimental reasons
for this, owing to the fact that, accord
ing to common belief, the remains oft 40
or 50 American sailors He within tho
sunken hulk, but this heavy steel struc
ture Is also a menace and obstruction to
navigation ln the harbor of Havana, and
It Is our duty to the Cubans to remove it.
The expense attached to the undertaking
is very heavy, the bids ranging any
where from $400,000 to $700,000. Several
tentative arrangements were made with
enterprising contractors who wished to
use the material of the wrecked ship to
make souvenirs, but they have all failed,
and Secretary Root, uponsecuring a more
detailed statement of the facts from Gen
eral Wood, will submit the question to
Congress, probably without recommenda
tion as to whether the Maine shall be
raised.
BOATLOAD OF REBELS.
Captnrcd by a Colombian Gunboat
and Towed to Panama.
PANAMA. March 27. Great excitement
was aroused this evening by the arri
val of the government gunboat Chuculto
towing a schooner filled with men wear
ing red bands on their hats, the In
signia of the revolutfonlsts. The Chu
culto met and captured the steamer off
Caplra. She Is laden with salt and am
munition for the revolutionary General
Lugo, who Is operating ln the vicinity
of Caplra. Among the prisoners on
board the schooner were two officers
who were captured at Agua Dulce.
Both offlcera were wounded. The cor
respondence captured with the steamer
Is said to be of much value to the gov
ernment. The revolutionary General Herrera
and his staff are reported to be on their
way to Chlrlqul on the gunboat Padllla.
THE VENEZUELAN WAR.
Success of the Revolution Looked
Upon as Problematical.
WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
March 27. Tho Venezuelan revolution,
according to advices received here yester
day, has not realized what it promised
last week. The government forces have
reoccupled Port Lamar and Juan Griego,
on the Island of Margarita, end still hold
Carupano, Cumana and Barcelona, all ln
the State of Bermudese. A force of 1000
revolutionists, under Domingo Monogas,
which has been besieging Barcelona, has
retreated before the government forces.
General Rlera, with 1200 men. Is still
ln the State of Falcon, trying to effect
a junction with General Montllla's revo
lutionary forces, estimated to number 500
men.
The town of Barqulslmeto. in the State
of Lara, continues to be menaced by the
revolutionists.
President Castro appreciates tho real
danger of the situation, and manifests
astonishing activity and Intelligence. The
Immediate success of the revolution 13
looked upon here as being problematical
The revolutionary steamer Bolivar was
reported March 21 as being at the mouth
of the Orinoco. March 22 she was said
to be at Gulria, and March 23 It was ru
mored that she was at Trinidad.
The Venezuelan authorities continue to
make arrests throughout the republic
Further Venezuelan advices received to
day announced that San Antonio, ln the
State of Bolivar, and Maturin, in the
Sta,te of Bermudese, were ln tho hands
of the revolutionary, forces, and that 2000
revolutionists, under General Monages,
Penalosa and Rolando, had united in an
advance and were menacing Cumana and
Barcelona.
The situation of General Rlera, ln the
State of Falcon, is said to have become
perilous.
MOVE AGAINST GERMANY
- 1
Articles of Import That Will Be Ex
cluded Have Been Listed.
WASHINGTON, March 27. While no
policy has been defined as to the course
this Government will pursue ln meeting
the new exclusion law of the Germans,
all the measures that appear to be prac
ticable probably will be adopted. Tho
matter so far is only ln the preliminary
stage, but today It progressed so far that
facts and figures bearing on the trade
and the articles of Import from Germany
which may bo available for imposition of
similar restrictions are now ready for
submlssloon to the President and his ad
visors. The Department of Agriculture has been
gathering these facts, and a list of ar
ticles found to be treated with borax or
other preservatives, against which Is laid
the charge that they are injurious, has
been completed, and the question of pol
icy will be given serious consideration
very shortly. The articles that first will
bo considered along this line are sausages,
wines, beers and dellcatessan. A largo
per cent of these, among other things,
have been found to contain preservatives
such as might cause them to be barred
on the same theory as that adopted by the
Germans. The United States has been ex
cluding for some time articles containing
salicylic acid and another acid clearly
proved to bo Injurious, but the enforce
ment of these conclusions undoubtedly
will be made even more rigorous. The
uerman view of the deleterlousness of
borax will be accepted and used for mak
ing their exclusions, and other regulations
ln all probability will be adopted barring
stuffs treated with other preservatives.
Whatever restrictions on articles are de
cided upon. It Is likely that Germany will
not be specifically referred to. though the
articles selected will be such as to affect
mostly the exports from Germany.
Another Job for Powdcrly.
WASHINGTON, March 27. Commission
er - General of Immigration Powdcrly,
whose term of office expires- soon, will, It
Is said, be tendered some other position
ln the Government service. A number of
Mr. Powderly's friends have talked with
the President In his behalf and pleaded
extenuating circumstances ln many of the
matters of which he has been criticised.
Fire Follows Political Conference.
PHOENIX, Ariz., March 27. Fire today
destroyed nearly a block of the business
portion of Mesa City, 18 miles from here.
The loss is estimated at $50,000. The
fire started in the People's Store, where
there had been a political conference, and
was probably, caused by a cigar stump.

RHODES' BURIAL PLACE
"WILL BE ON KOPJE NEAR WHERE
WILSON MADE HIS LAST STAND.
Date of Interment Is Doubtful, as a
-Special Road Must Be Built
Prom Baluwayo.
LONDON, March 28. In a dispatch from
Cape Town, the correspondent of the
Dally Mall says that Cecil Rhodes, when
he last visited Matoppo Hills, selected the
spot where he desired to be Interred, and
gave Instructions to an architect concern
ing the memorial to be erected. The place
of Interment Is beneath a natural cairn of
giant boulders, on a kopje adjoining that
on which Major Wilson's little force made
Its last stand. The memorial to be erect
ed will be a prominent feature of the
striking landscape. The date of Interment
is doubtful, owing to the necessity of the

Means Chamberlain's Downfall.
PARIS March 27. Lord Rosebery ar
rived In Paris this morning from Lon
don. The Patrle says he made the
following statement to a reporter:
"Mr. Chamberlln was only an Instru
ment ln the hands of Mr. Rhodes. Now
that the latter has disappeared, what
will become of the member from Bir
mingham? England has had enough of
a policy based solely on force, which cre
ated enmity In Europe and cast us adrift,
and caused thousands of our sons to
perish. A ministerial crisis ln England
now would not be surprising. Possibly
because of the coronation, King Ed
ward will prevent this by ending the
war and directing English policy Into
new channels, more in conformity with
justice and the rlght3 of peoples."

Gentlemen-While It has never been my habit or Inclination to recommend rem

l kecancentIo"nfJheca.seof Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. My experience, so
far as I have tested It in my practice, forces me to the conclusion that It Is a
mmf he greatest value In all kidney, liver, bladder and other inflammatory
conditions of the gcnito-urlnary tract. I now take pleasure in prescribing Swamp
Root in all such cases with a feeling of assurance that my patients will derive
great benefit from its use. I shall continue to prescribe it in other cases in my
practice with the expectation of good results. Very truly yours.

ivllmer s Swimp-Root. with most beneficial effect, and know of many cures by its
use. These patients had kidney trouble, as dlngnosed by other physicians, and
treated without benefit. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root effected a cure. I am a lib
eral man and accept a specific wherever I find It, In an accepted school or out of
w desDerate cases of kidney complaint under treatment with unsatisfactory
results. I turn to Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root with most flattering results. I shall
continue to prescribe it, and from personal observation state that Swamp-Root,
has great curative properties. Truly yours,

Swamp-Root Is pleasant to take and Is used In the leading hospitals, recom
mended by physicians In their private practice, and is taken by doctors them
selves who have kidney ailments, because they recognize ln it the greatest and
most successful remedy for kidney, liver and bladder troubles

trouble, or If there is a trace of it in your family history, send at once to Dr Kil
"V! . " BinShamton, N. Y.. who will gladly send you by mail. Immediately,
without cost to you, a sample bottle of Swamp-Root and a book telling all about
Swamp-Root, and containing many of the thousands upon thousands of testimo
nial letters received from men and women cured. In writing to Dr Kilmer &
Co.. BInghamton. N. Y., be sure to siy that you read this generous offer ln The
Portland Dally Oregonian.
If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need you can
purchase the regular 50-cent and $1 size bottles at the drug stores everywhere.
Don't ma,ke any mistake, but remember the name. Swamp-Root. Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, and the address, BInghamton, N Y., on ever,' bottle
have It understood that peace cannot be
mado without their knowledge and con
sent, says a London dispatch to the Trib
une. The dispatches are contradictory,
but, bellicose as are the declarations at
tributed to Dr. Leyds. It may be safely
assumed that Mr. Kruger has known
about Schalkburger's Intentions for sev
eral months, and that he has sanctioned
the direct appeal to Steyn and Dewet.
The Dutch Ministers at The Hague un
mistakably are hopeful that peace will be
made. They are reported to have warned
Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds that better
terms could be made before than after the
coronation, but there Is no method of
confirming this rumor.
