Indianapolis, Ind Jan. IS. The question of war or peace In the coal fields will largely depend uopn the result of the 17th annual convention of the United Mlneworkers of Ameri ca, which opened here this morning At Tomllnson hall. The convention was called to order by President John Mitchell, who delivered an address, explaining the present situation and gave a clear statement of the decis ions of the anthracite miners' conven tion at Shamokln. Tho rest of the morning session was devoted to the appointment of committees and other routine business. There is a strong feeling of deter mination among the delegates to the convention, based upon a full realiza tion of the present situation and of the probable precipitation of a seri ous' crisis, In case it should be Impos sible to bring about an agreement be tween the miners and the operators. All agreements as to wage scales, etc., between miners and operators In the bituminous and anthracite coal fields expire on March 31. While it cannot be said that the conditions In - the bituminous fields are Ideal, It must be admitted that they are by no means as serious as In the anthracite fields. The miners In the bituminous fields are not confronted with as seri ous problems as those In the anthra cite fields, owing to the demands re cently formulated by the anthracite miners at the Shamokln convention. The miners In the bituminous coal mines will undoubtedly make cerUiln demands beyond the conditions grant ed by the operators under the present agreement, but It is believed that an agreement will quickly be reached The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths.

Their demands are of such & radical nutare that an acceptance of their terms Is scarcely expected. All that oaji be reasonably be hoped far is that lie operators, after mature delibera tion, will consent to submitting the mutter to arbitration. Even that they will not willingly do. The principal obstacle In the way of a settlement is the demand of the miners for recognition of their union. Many operators are known to be bit terly opposed t a recognition of the union. They fear that such recogni tion would seriously cripple them In handling their mining properties, as It would practically destroy any op portunity of dealing with their men Individually. A compromise Is scarcely to be expected, as the miners fully understand the vital Importance of the demanded recognition, without which, they feel, no permanent Im provement of their condition can be expected. The demands of the anthracite min ers will be the first matter lo be con sidered by the convention and thero Is but little doubt that the conven tion will strongly endorse these de mands. President Mitchell and his trusted lieutenants, District Presidents Fahy, Nlcholls and Dettry, who are conducting the campaign of the an thracite miners, are confident that the convention will back up the anthracite miners. At the same time they will do their utmost to hold down the rad ical elements among the delcgutes an! keep them from committing any In discretion, which would precipitate a war between the miners and operators without hope of a final adjustment of the existing differences. KuKult Was Expoiudvc LllJuuttaa Which Is Still Pending. Cincinnati, O.. Jan. 16. One of the most Interesting attractions at the Cincinnati Poultry and Pet Stock x- hlbltion, which wus opened here to day, is a rooster, which promises, through litigation, to become as fa mous In history as the celebrated calf In the Jones county, Cal., case. The rooster In question was exhib ited In Minneapolis lust year. At the conclusion of the exhibition he was placed In a crate for shipment. It belonged to an exhibitor in the state of New York. While the crate was with others In the exhibition hall, a Kansas exhibitor accidentally struck his hand against the crate with such force, that a large solitaire diamond, valued at J200, broke from the setting of his ring and fell Into the crate. The rooster quickly picked up the gem and swallowed It. Then there was great excitement. The owner of the diamond de manded that, the rooster should he killed, but the owner objected to the killing of the animal, maintaining thnt It was not his fault that the rooster had swallowed the dlamsnd and that the rooster was far more valuable than the diamond. The Kansas man went to the courts for relief and for the last year the case has been dragged through the state courts, without any prospect of Im mediate settlement. The rooster dnee not seem to mind the trouble he has caused by his greediness. sciiooij DisrritKT srxs doise. Wants) an Arooantbir of Umtse Money and Money From Ktnaw.

Ma&fc Mosgrove Next Door to Postoffice Next Door to Postoffice if THEY SAW AX EXCELLENT SnOW "Johnny Comes Marching Home" ."Drew a Large Audience. Those who saw "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" at the Fra zer theater last night were treated to something considerably different from the usual comic opera. Although It is classed as such, there Is compar atively little fun-making, and the feature of the show is the singing, principally of stirring songs of the civil war days. Also, It la Interesting through portraying the fashions of that day. The scene is located nt a southern lionic during the war, and the char acters aro northern officers nnd southern girls. Of the former the star is Johnny, who comes home In a uni form of blue after 15 years absence, and for a time Is known only to his sweetheart, Kate Pemberton. While he is thus unknown to his father and the remainder of the family, Jona thim Phoenix, a soldier against his will, through force of circumstances Is led to puss himself ns the long missing' son. However, developments bring out the real Johnny Phoenix Is "upset.' W. P. Carleton, who plnys the role of Johnny, Is the star of the show, and Is certainly adapted to the part. He Is big In stature ns befits the mat Ineo hero, and has a strong baritone voice. Also, his leading lady, Miss Gertrude Vaughan, Is a pleasing sing er. Those present were repaid for their attendance by the singing of these two. One duet which was es pecially appreciated was "Love's Light," given at the opening of the second act. Of the colored aggregation, C. D. Burt as Uncle Tom, made a hit when he sang "Ma Honeysuckle Gal," and was called back repeatedly. The "Johnny Comes Marching Home" troupe Is quite large, and as a result they were crowded for room on the stage of the old theater, which Is not adapted to hoopsklrt choruses.
