PEACE IN COAL MINES.
Operators and Workers Practically
Agree on New Contract.
I'eace In the anthracite coal region
is assured for another three years.
President Thomas L.Tewl8 of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
with the three district presidents had
been in conference with a subcommittee
of the operators in Philadelphia for two
days, made a positive announcement
Thursduy night that a new working
agreement would be signed before the
end of the next week. This contract
will be based upon n proposition which
has been submitted by the operators,
nnd which. In tho opinion of Mr. Ix-wis
and his colleagues, contains a number
of important concessions.
Acting on behalf of the union miners,
Mr. Lewis accepted the proposition,
subject to the approval of a tri-dlstrlct
convention, which was to be held in
Scranton the next Tuesday afternoon.
There Is little doubt that the men will
accept this new offer and will authorize
their ofllcers to sign the ngreement. It
is believed that the new ngreement will
accord recognition in some form to the
organizations of anthracite miners, nor
ns a branch of the United Mine Work
ers of America, but as n distinct hard
coal association. The contract will nlso
provide that all new work shall be paid
according to the wage scale authorized
by the strike commission. There will
be no Increase of wages, but there will
likely be readjustment of wages nt new
collieries.

Many.
SURVIVORS ARE IN DEEP MISERY
War Ships of Powers Land Marines.
but Little Progress Is Made
Toward Order.
The situation In Asiatic Turkey Is
one of extreme gravity. How many
thousands have been massacred cannot
even be cstitunted, because the disturb
ances have been so widespread that it
Is lnis)sslble to secure details of the
happenings of the last ten days. The
latest estimates of the number killed
In the vilayet of Adaun reaches approx
imately 2.,OUO, nnd thousands have
been done to death In the towns of oth
er diKtilcts. The state of siege which
several of the places nre undergoing has
brought the Inhabitants to the verge
of starvation, and each day brings its
tales of further atrocities and the
depths of misery and despair to which
the savagery of the fanatics has
brought the people. Several warships
are now In the waters of the disturbed
territory, hut the disorders are so far
reaching that the efforts of the powers
to restore normal conditions have ns
yet hardly been felt. A Hrltlsh war
ship has been ordered from Alexall
drctta to Suediah, where conditions
have become worse. AH. the property
of the Christians at DJebel Hcreket has
been destroyed. The total loss U un
known, but It will be enormous.
At the town of Adaua more than 100
girls are missing. It is known that
twenty-one native pastors have been
killed. Fears are entertained that oth
er American missionaries than those
whose deaths have been reported have
been murdered. There are 15,000 ref
ugees In Adana and Tarsus and 5,000
at Merslna. A messenger, dispatched
for relief by Miss Lambert, the Ameri
can missionary, who two days previous
sent an appeal to Constantinople, was
killed In the streets. A second mes
senger, a soldier, was shot nt. The
vail has given assurances of the safety
of Americans.
According to the latest information
from the country around Alexandret-
ta, the Armenian village of Kessab has
been burned and many persons hav
been killed there. The women and chil
dren of Kessab are fugitives In the
suroundltig mountains, exposed to hun
ger and violence. No news has been
received from HadJIn, where live Amer
ican women missionaries were reported
to be In danger of violence at the
hands of Infuriated tribesmen.

Substantial progress was made b

tariff bill Wednesday. No Senator
being prepared to speak on the bill as
t whole, the reading of the measure
by paragraphs was begun. The various
Items In the chemical schedule were
passed over for future consideration.
The reading was frequently interrupt
ed by the discussion of amendments,

criminatory against the South. Fifty

which It had before it for considera

Mr. Aldrich linked whether he supposed
