Pence In the anthracite coal region Is assured for another three years. President Thomas L.-lwls 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 Thursday night that a new working agreement would bo signed before the end of the next week. This contract will be based upon n proposition which has been submitted by the operators, and whi h. In the opinion of Mr. Lewis and his colleagues, contains a number of important concessions. Acting on behalf of the union miners, Mr. Lewis accepted the proposition, subject to tho approval of a trl-dlstrlct convention, which was to be held In Scrnnton the next Tuesday afternoon. There is little doubt that the men will accept this new offer and will authorize their officers to sign the agreement. It Is believed that the new agreement will accord recognition In some form to the organizations of anthracite miners, nor as a branch of the United Mine Work era of America, but as a distinct hnrd coal association. The contract will nlso provide that nil 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 at new collieries. DEATH TAKES GOV. LILLET. Peaceful End of Executive Is in Con trast with Career.

A trip to a New Jersey sanitarium failed to benefit Mr, Lilley, and following his return to Hartford he gradually fnlled, the final dissolution being due to kidney troube. which affected his heart and tended to Intestinal poisoning.

Atrocities in Asiatic Turkey Con tinue and Starvation Claim Many. SURVIVORS ARE IN DEEP MISERY War Ships of Powers Land Marine. 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 estimated, because the disturb ances have twen so widespread that It Is lniK)sxlble to secure details of the happenings of the last ten days. The latest estimates of the number killed in the vilayet of Adanti reaches approx imately L'o.OOO, nnd thousands have been done to death In the towns of oth er districts. The state of siege which several of the places are undergoing has brought the Inhabitants to the verge of starvation, und each day brings its tales of further atrocities nnd 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, but the disorders lire ao fur reaching that the efforts of the powers to restore normal conditions have ns yet hardlj been felt. A llrltlsh war ship has been ordered from AlexalV dretta to Sucdiuh, where conditions have become worse. All. the proiierty of the Christians lit Djebel Hereket has been destroyed. The total loss Is un known, but it will be enormous. At the town of Adaua more than 100 girl are missing. It is known thut twenty-one native pastors have been killed. Feara are entertained thut oth er American missionaries than those whose deaths have been reported have been murdered. There are 15,000 ref ugees in Adaua and Tarsus and 5,000 at Mersina. 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 nnd many persons have been killed there. The women and chil dren of Kessab are fugitives In the grounding mountains, exposed to hun ger and, violence.
