PEACE IN COAL MINES.
Operators and Workers Practically
Agree on New Contract.
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.

Atrocities in Asiatic Turkey Con

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. No news has been
received from Hiidjln, where five Amer
ican women missionaries were reported
to be In danger of violence at the
bands of Infuriated tribesmen.
