12 THE MOBNING OEEGONIAtf, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1902. TO MEET IN WASHINGTON CONFERENCE OF COAL MIXERS AND OPERATORS CALLED. It Is Snpposd That the Railroad Rep resentatives Will Have Some thing Definite to Offer. SCRANTON, Pa., Nov. 24. The scenes of the strike settlement negotiations have been suddenly shifted from this city to Washington and New York. Tomorrow the committee of nine of the independent operators expects to hold a conference with the presidents of the coal-carrying roads regarding the position of the Indi vidual companies, and at the same time a meeting between Wayne MacVeagh and possibly other attorneys representing the coal roads, and President Mitchell and his attorneys, will be held at the National capital. The independents have gone to New York to find out what the large companies can do for them In the way of freight rates in case an Increase in wages is decided upon. The mlneworkers repre sentatives went to Washington to find out what the large companies had to offer. Both wish for success, but It was not tvithin their power to say what will' be the outcome. Although the miners' representatives did aot know why they were summoned to Washington, they believe the companies have something to offer. Wayne Mac Veagh was In telegraphic communication at noon with Clarence S. Darrow, Mr. Mitchell's leading attorney, and later Mr. MacVeagh called him up on the long-distance telephone trom Philadelphia. Mr. MacVeagh said he wished to have a con ference with Mr. Mitchell and himself, but as he was not feeling well, he desired that they all meet In Washington tomor row instead of him making the journey to Scranton. Mr. Darrow said that Mr. Mac Veagh did not tell him what he wanted the conference for, but he felt that Mr. MacVeagh would not summon them to the National capital if he were not qualified or clothed with authority to carry on ne gotiations. Mr. Mitchell's party Jeft here this even ing. Those who. went along beside Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Darrow were Henry D. XJoyds, of Chicago, an adviser, and Miss E. O. Morris, Mr. Mitchell's' private secretary- From Washington it Is expected the party will go tq New York, returning here Friday. Before leaving Mr. Mitchell had a conference with District Presidents Nlcholls, Duffy and Fahey. The larger part of the committee of in dependent operators left for New York this afternoon. Their mission to New York is best expressed in a statement made to the Associated Press today by one of the representatives of the small companies, who said: "The independent operator has no in come beyond the profit from mining coal. When the mining of coal and the breaker is stopped his revenues also cease, but the expense of maintaining te property goes on. The large companies owned by the railroads depend upon their freight rates to maintain their collieries wldle in idle ness. The, independent companies are pay ing the miners as much now as they can afford, and If an increase In wages is granted by the large companies, the large companies must give the Independents a lower freight rate to meet the Increase In wages. This is the mission of the commit tee. If they refuss to make a concession in freight rates or Its equivalent, then it is probable that they independent com panies will insist on the whole matter be ing threshed out before the commission. Mr. Mitchell, in his testimony before the commission last week, said that ?500 per year would be a fair standard of living wages. Some of the Independent -companies are paying an average of over $700 a year, while the large companies are pay ing under those figures. Therefore, if a 10 per cent Increase Is agreed upon the amount of money to be paid to the men by the Independents will be greater than by the large companies." Several of the resident attorneys of the large companies also went to New York for the purpose of conferring with the head officials of the corporations they represent. They pleaded ignorance as to any developments In the situation. The conciliation subcommittee of the commission. Messrs. Parker, Watklns and Clark, was at headquarters all day, but was not called upon to offer its concilia- tory assistance to either side. ROW BETWEEN UNIONS. Result Is a Locli-Out Involving 1COO New Yorlc Workmen. NEW YORK, Nov. 24. A lock-out was declared today by the Builders' and Con tractors' Association of New Rochelle, wl i forced all the building trades workmen In suburbs nort,h of New York from Mount Vernon, N. Y., to the Con necticut line to quit work. The number of men out Is about 1500. The trouble grew out of a recent strike caused by a dis agreement between plumbers 'and their employes. It was adjusted, but 12 jour neymen went back to work before the settlement and were fined 550 by their union. They refused to pay. and in the controversy following, the Building Trades Council sustained the union, while the Builders and Contractors' Association de clared the fines unjust and announced that a lock-out would be started If the fines were not remitted by noon last Saturday. They were not, and the declaration of the employers accordingly went lntoeffect to day. . WRIGHT SAW THE PRESIDENT. Said Coal Commission Would Con tinue Its Work. WASHINGTON. Nov. 24. Colonel Car roll D. Wright, recorder of the anthracite coal strike commission, had a conference with the President today. He outlined to Mr. Roosevelt the work of the commis sion, indicating to him that whatever might be the result of the conference be tween the representatives of the oper ators and the miners, the commission would probably, proceed, at least for a time, with its work and endeavor to reach a definite conclusion which might be used in the future as a basis for the ad justment of similar controversies. Members of the commission are of the opinion that the operators and miners will reach an agreement upon all points of difference raised. It will be the pur pose of the commission to arrange If pos sible so that the agreement shall have some permanent form. NO REMEDY NOW. But Will Be a Law Forbidding Dls crimination Against Guardsmen. ALBANY. N. Y.. Nov. 24. Attorney- General Davis. In an opinion submitted to Governor Odell In the Potter case. holds that the state has no power to pro ceed against the Schenectady Painters "Union for expelling Potter because of his membership in the National Guard. No charge can be brought against the union for conspiracy, as there is no proof that the union did anything more than notify Potter's employers that he was a non union worker. It Is believed that a bill will be introduced in the Legislature next year making it a misdemeanor for any person to discriminate in any way against a man because he belongs to the National Guard. French Coal Strike Is Ended. CLERMONT, Ferrand, France, Nox. 24. The strike of the coal miners in this region is terminated.

The men were ar rested, but were released on bonds of 51000 each. Blast Furnaces Out of Coal. SHARON, Pa., Nov. 24. Charles M. Hart, district manager of the Republi can Iron & ' Steel Company's blast fur nace, said today that every furnace with the exception of the Mahoning Valley stack at Youngstown, Is out of blast on account of the Inability to secure coke.

Marston. president of the San Diego & Eastern Railway, has returned from New York, where he has been during the past month in the interest of the construction of that road from this city to Yuma, and thence to a transcontinental connection In Arizona. Mr. Marston says: "Several New York capitalists are ac tively planning to build this new line. They have a bold object In view, one which will require $25,000,000. They are, therefore, moving cautiously. The line proposed will have connections to enable It to get Its share of transcontinental business. Several railroads are building southwestward, and the harbor of San Diego Is sought for as a Pacific port." MUST PUSH FREIGHT. RATES UP. Charges Must Keep Pnce With. In crease of Expenses. CWTCAGO. Nov 24. "Railroad freight rates are lower than they ought to be under the new scale of wages and the present cost of supplies ana maienajs which railroads have been obliged to pay, owing to the great prosperity of the country." Paul Morton, second vice-president of the Santa Fe, made this statement today, and followed it up by declaring that a nhout to bp started with a view to raising all freight rates in ter ritory west of Chicago to the Pacific Coast- Mr. Morton advocates an advance in freight rates of at least 10 per cent. "Snme mFasiiro will have to be taken very speedily," declared Mr. Morton, "to readjust all our freight tariffs to meet the demands of the situation. Everything that thf railroads need and deal in has been raised in price. The views I have expressed are the views of others also, and we are going to try to do something toward readjusting our rates. NOO RESULTS YET REACHED. Officials and Employes of Santa Fe Continue in Session. TOPRKA. TCan.. Nov. 24. No results have been obtained yet in the conference tetwecn the Santa Fe officials and the priwnnw committee of the encineers and firemen in relation to increased wages. The parties to the controversy have been In close conference for several days. There is no disposition on the part of the Santa Fe to resist a reasonable in crease of wages in keeping with the pol icy of other roads, but the conditions on tYia nrferent divisions of the road make a necessity for a different scale in nearly every instance. The Western division em nifwoH nrp nnlri more than the Eastern. and" to make an equitable division of the Increase is causing tne anncuity. WILL TAKE OLD SURVEY.

Nov. 24. The War De partment is In constant- receipt of data concerning the canteen question and the effects of its abolition on the Army. Apropos of this, the. statement is made at the War Department that only such In formation as has been contained in the reports of the Army officers upon the sub ject has been given to the public and it Is denied that any effort has been made to influence public opinion on the matter. It is said at the department that the recommendations of the Adjutant-General In his annual report were based on infor mation contained In these reports. It is pointed out that the existence of some thing like 1400 saloons In the vicinity of the Army posts is shown by the reports received at the department, 250 to 300 of which arc said to have been opened since the closing of the canteen. This further statement is made at the department: "The majority of post3 have reported that drunkenness and courts-martial for drunkenness have Increased; that deser tion and absence without leave have in creased; that the effect of the closing of the canteen upon the morality, discipline and health of the troops has been bad, and, while many post commanders are in consequence of frequent changes of garri son, and from the absence of, correct data upon which to base comparisons, unable to report as to the degree of detriment created by the closing of the canteen, it can bo stated as an absolute fact that in no single case has a post commander ex pressed an opinion that the effect of the abolition of the sale of beer in the Army .has resulted in Improved conditions. With reference to the reports from the Philip pines, a statement has been made public at the War Department epitomizing the annual report of Brigadier-General Sang er, Inspector-General of the Division of the Philippines. After narrating the evil effects upon the human system of the na tive liquors, the statement continues: "To remedy these conditions, the post exchange, at which light beer was sold, was exercising a wholesome influence, and General Sanger believes that the exchange should again be made a possibility by re moving all restrictions oh the 6ale of beer and light wines. "To the fear so often expressed by the opponents of the canteen system that the sale of beer would initiate or Induce hab its of Intemperance, General Sanger showed, from a careful census of the 342 companies of troops In the Philippine Is larids that in 60 companies every enlisted man used vinous, malt or splritous liquors at the date of enlistment; in 130 compan ies, between 90 and 100 per cent; In 58 companies between SO and 90 per cent; in 26 companies between 70 and 80 per cent; in 20 companies between 60 and 70 per cent. Unfortunately, quite a number of men habitually drink to excess, and a3 this number will probably Increase if the men are obliged, as now, to resort to na tive liquors, In order to satisfy what to many of them is a perfectly natural crav ing, the result will be most deplorable." General Sanger concludes with the re mark: "It Is hardly probable in this view of this information that Congress will con tinue the prohibition against the canteen, when it is evident that the sale of beer would be a precaution against the perni cious habits above stated, and their fatal and dlsjtrous results." NEW HOPE FOR IRELAND Better Feeling Everywhere Intima tion of a. Council. LONDON, Nov. 24. Speeches delivered today by the Earl of Dudley, the new Lord Lieutenant for Ireland, and by John Redmond, the Irish leader, have aroused much comment as striking a more hopeful note of conciliation in the Irish question. The "Earl of Dudley, accom panied by the Countecs, wa3 making an official visit to Belfast, and In reply to the speeches delivered at his reception he declared that he ha"d come to Ireland with the same spirit of impartial Inquiry that animated Mr. Chamberlain in going to South Africa. The Irish Viceroy, pro ceeding then with the Irish land question as the crux of the Irish problem, suggest ed that a sort of round-table conference of representatives of the landlords, ten ants and other interests in Ireland should be held, to endeavor to arrive at a mutual understanding and possibly some scheme for the good of Ireland and the increased happiness of her people. While Lord Dudley was speaking at Belfast, John Redmond was making an equally conciliatory speech at a demon stration of the London branch of the Irish League at the suburb of Bermondsey. He was intensely gratified, he said, to find on returning from the United States that the political situation In Ireland was more hopeful than he had known it for 25 years. While all rumors of Irish "deals" with the government were untrue, the political sit uation in Ireland had undergone an extra ordinary and radical change and he be lieved that no English Minister since the union had had such a chance as the Irish Secretary, George Wyndham, now had. The time had arrived, as it did in every struggle, when the combatants were growing tired of the contest a'nd were tak ing counsel as to whether It could not be brought to a satisfactory end. - For the first time In Irish history the majority of the landlords were speaking woroo of good sense, conciliation and rea son. The tenants were united, and a moderate and quite limited use of the im perial credit would enable a settlement of the land question to be brought about. At the same time, concluded Mr. Red mond, this would not affect the aspira tions of the Irish people for home rule', and he warned the government that If last session's land bill were re-introduced the Irish members would fight it line by line. FRENCH JfAVAL ADMINISTRATION. Attacked in Chamber but Success fully Defended. PARIS. Nov. 24. Marine Minster Pella tler's administration of the navy was again subjected to an attack In the Cham ber today when an interpellation was in troduced criticizing the action of the, Min ister In recently reducing the effective strength of the Mediterranean squadron by 1750 men. This reduction, It was as serted by the Introducers of the interpel lation, would render It Impossible for the fleet to put to sea instantly if this became necessary. M. Pellatier, in replying to the criti cisms, said he was compelled to economize in some directions, because the construe tion of warships during the coming' fiscal year would necessitate an expenditure of $1,000,000 In exefss of 1902. Owing to the exceptional position occupied by France in the Mediterranean, it was, a more urgent matter to .expedite the works on the naval port of Bizerta than to put 1700 men, more or loss, on the ships employed in promenading between Vllle franche and Toulon. Whatever might be his personal opinion. added the Minister, regarding the colonial conquests of France, he would neglect nothing in order to defend her colonial empire, but money was needed to do thl and he was forced to economize on some points In order to spend elsewhere. After a brief debate the Chamber, by 2S8 votes to 204, adopted an order of the day approving the declaration of the gov ernment, and then adjourned. SUPPORTS THE GOVERNMENT.

This is due to its graceful design, its sound work manship and its sterling quality of material. . All responsible jewelers keep it bate the House of Commons today passed a resolution approving the action of the British government in signing the Brus sels sugar convention by 213 votes to 136. The House Itself and the public galleries were crowded in anticipation of the dis cussion. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, who will sail on his mission to South Af rica November 25, was the center of at traction, and.made the speech of the even ing. Party lines were not observed during the debate, several Unionist members sup porting Sir .William Harcpurfs amend ment to censure the government for its action. Mr. Chamberlain, who on rising to make his last speech before his South African trip was loudly cheered, declared that Great Britain must carry out Its fiscal system in its own way, without the slight est reference to. the opinion of foreign countries. The abnegation of the govern ment's attitude at the sugar conference, he said, would be-a breach of international faith. The abolition of the sugar boun ties was merely a matter of common jus tice to the West, Indies, while at the same time such action restored the relations between capital and labor, and production and exchange to the natural phase. He maintained that even if the 'pecuniary sacrifice that those In Great Britain might make in paying a trifle more for their sugar were twice as great, they still were bound to abolish the bounties and to re lieve the West Indies on the grounds of national honor and justice to all parts of the empire.

The Spanish Claims Commission has enunciated the principles by which it will be governed in passing upon the various demurrers which have been submitted to it in connection with the claims now under consideration on account of the war between Spain and Cuba, The general basis is laid down that in assuming the responsibility which would have otherwise been Spain's, the United States is bound to pay, all claims for which Spain could have been held. It Is further held that the Insurrection in Cuba had gone beyond the control of the Spanish government and that It was not responsible for damages done to foreign ers by the insurgents. If, however, it be shown that the Spanish authorities might have prevented the damage done in any particular case by the exercise of due diligence the commission announces that it will hold that Spain is liable. The commission announces further that It will take judicial notice that the Cuban Insurrection passed from the first beyond the control of Spain, and so continued until the intervention of the United States. It is further held that Spain was entitled to adopt such war measures for the recov ery of her authority as are sanctioned by the rules and usages of international war fare. If, however, It be alleged and proved in any particular case that the acts of the Spanish 'authorities or soldiers were contrary to such rules and usages, Spain will be held liable In that case. This decision does not however, go to, the extent of saying that the reconcentra-tlon- orders were legitimate acts of war. There Is to be a further argument on that subject. Ex-Senator Chandler, chairman of the committee, and - Commissioner Maury dis sent from the rules adopted. Belginm Feeling? Better. NEW YORK, Nov. 24.
