The Mall and Ex press says; "It was learned from official sources that William K. Vanderbllt Is a large holder of Union Pacific stock and that be acquired his holding after reaching a full understanding with K. It. Harrlman. Those In a position to know assert that Mr. Har rlman was placed at the head of the road at tho Instance of Mr. Vanderbllt, although others declare thnt Mr. Harrlman Is tho Joint choice of Messrs. W. K. Vanderbllt, George J. Gould and Kuhn, Locb A: Co. "Mr. Harrlman Is a close personal friend of Mr. Vanderbllt and was picked out to manage, the Union Tactile becauso he was regarded as an able railroad man. From sources close to Mr. Vanderbllt. It appears that the present management of the Union raclflo Is not only In thorough accord with that gentleman, hut has stood ready for a long time to make a deal with the Chicago A. Northwestern, which the Vanderbllts con trol, nut up to the present year of great deals, Mr. Vundrrbllt, It Is said, thought It was better for the Northwestern to have several strings to Its bow, rather tbaa tie Up exclusively with the Union Pacific. "The Ilurllngton deal, however, changed the western situation and the aggressive policy of Messrs. J. J. Hill and J. P. Mor gan In combining the Burlington, Northern )'aclflc and Great Northern forced the Northwestern to prepare for future emer gencies. "There are excellent reasons for the as sumption that Mr, Vanderbllt has been the largest buyer of Union Pacific on the great rise to nearly 130 either for his own ac count, with a view to Increasing bis inter est, or on account of Chicago & North western, so that the latter can cxercloe a leading Influence In Union Pacific. "There Is good ground for believing that George J. Gould, as president of the Mis souri Tactile and a leading director In Union Taclflc, lias been a heay buyer of the latter stock and that by means of his large private holdings of stock, which may later be turned over to the Missouri Taclflc, the latter raad.wHI,-loJntly.wl the North western, and possibly "the St. Paul, control Union Taclflc."

MINERS TO CLOSE TIGHT ALL THE PITS 3taKntlnn "f llualue .Sure to Ilesitlt If Thrent I I ' u I II 1 1 r l l ft Force Atitiniloniiieitl of llmlKCt 1'ronnsala, (Copyright, 19.U. by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON. May 1. (New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram.) Chancellor Hicks-Beach's proposed export duty on coal threatens to bring upon Great Britain an unparalleled Industrial crisis. The coal miners' delegates have recommended the universal closing of coal pits from Tuesday as a protest against the export tax. The miners' leaders say they can hold out six weeks, by which lime every Industry in the country would be paralyzed. In Parliament tbe threatened strike is regarded an unwise and Impracticable now, whereas If the miners should wait until the coal owners attempt to recoup themselves for the tax out of the wages the sympathy of the whole country would be with them In the strike. Chancellor Hicks-Beach will now adhere absolutely to the tax. but It Is admitted that It the strike should be or dered and maintained for a month the budget proposals must be abandoned and tho whole government fall. MINERS RESOLVE TO QUIT Kurollilt; I'roteat Aalnt the CimI llxport Tax In the llrltlih DudKet. LONDON, May 1. At a meeting of the Miners federation held In London this morning and attended by delegates from all parts of the United Kingdom, It was recom mended that all miners quit work unless the tax were withdrawn. Another meeting was summoned for May 7 to finally decide the matter and to fix a date for the stop page of work should that step be resolved upon. Reports from the mining districts Indi cate that a majority of tho miners are In favor of the strike. They have had two years of prosperity and the funds of their unions are overflowing. It Is admitted, however, by liberals and conservatives nllke that their Ill-advised action will have no effect so far as a repeal of the coal tax Is concerned. The whole country condemns the strike, which will tend to disorganize all the Industries, and, as the people have little sympathy with the coal trade, which during the last twelve months has reaped huge profits at the expense of the com munity, the only effect of tho strike Is likely to be to draw the support of tho country toward the government. The prospect of a strlko has spread dis may among the mill and foundry owners In Lancashire, as there are no stocks on hand at the collieries.

It appears that the elder Gartrell has been married three times. His first wife was Miss Moss of Paris, Mo., bis second Miss Payne of Mexico, both of whom died. His third wife was a Texas woman, whose name Is not known, and who it Is said sep arated from Gartrell several years ago. He formerly lived at Fayette, Mo.

The sheriff was reinforced and desplto the excitement that prevailed was enabled to hurry them to the Jail In safety. At the Jail there was another big crowd, but the prisoners were safely locked up without any overt act being attempted. The prisoners were extremely nervous, and Dr. Gartrell asked anxiously: "Do you think they'll lynch me?" "Not If I can help It," was Sheriff Smith's terse reply, and the aged man expressed some relief. He called for a drink of whisky, however, and after he had swal lowed half a tumbler full of the liquor said: "It was whisky that did It. I took the cure twice and I think that It mutt have affected my mind." Fears are entertained that an attempt to lynch the men will be made tonight and the sheriff Is taking precautions to thwart an attack on the Jail.

The government also showed that the re volver which discharged the fatal bullet must have been at least six feet from Gro gan when It went off.

Baldwin, Dr. Donald Macrae, Jr., E. E. Ayiesworth, N. M. Pu.ey anil John T. Stewart, kecond, of Council Blurts. Health I Hieelleut. Minister Conger Is hale und hearty, and declares himself in excellent health. ' I had a little attack of grip In February," said be, "but I'm all right now. You lee even the Chinese are not exempt from that universal disorder. We had a very pleas ant voyage, but I'm not much of a mllut and am easily affected by a little rough weather on the water. The voyage acrodi the Pacific, however, was made without Incident. We left Hong Kong March 2" on the Nippon Maru and arrived In San Fran cisco April 25. You see I've been away from China almost six weeks, and 1 dar say 1 know lets about Chinese affairs here now than you poofllji hero In Omaha. 1 haven't been totting the paperB tetularly and am somewhat out of touch with th situation there." .Not an Aftlte Candidate. This incidental contersatlon was merely preparatory, however, to an Inquiry on the Important question of Mr. Conger's in tentions regarding tho Iowa gubernational campaign. "No, I shall not como out as a candidate for governor of Iowa," be said, "and I shall novcr under any circumstances be a candidate. Several months ago I an swered this same question and I still stand by that answer. I said then that If I were tendered tbe nomination I would ac cept It, not otherwise. After conferring with my friends In Des Moines I may be able to strengthen this statement or I may disclaim It altogether. Mr. Conger said that reports had come to him of the action of Senator Perkins of Sioux City In withdrawing from the guber natorial race In favor of himself (Conger). The minister expressed his appreciation of the nctlon, but said he could make no further comments at this time. It was noted as a significant Incident that James Wilson of Adair entered the minister's apartments after the guests had offered their greetings and was closeted with htm for some time. Compliment to llalnhrldare. With regard to affairs In China Mr. Conger went no further than to commend the record of W. E. Balnbrldge of Council Bluffs, assistant secretary of the American legation. Mr. Balnbrldgo's services havo been Invaluable. He Is a fine lawyer and a capable and industrious worker. His taleats are of too fine an order for a clerical position. "It is not true, ad has been reported In some of the newspapers," said Mr. Conger, "that a coldness existed between myself and the administration at Washington. Thero was never any foundation for such a report. The last letters I received from tbe State department, which was a day or so before I left Hong Kong, were highly commendatory of my course, and expressed satisfaction In every way. "After leaving Council Bluffs I shall go to my home In Des Moines, remain there a day or two, and then pro ceed to Washington to attend to some official business. When that Is transacted I shall probably return to Des Moines and try to get some rest before going back to ray post of duty." Ilreakfas' nt I'nloii Station. Tbe Conger party remained In tbe Union station until after breakfast had been served and then proceeded to Council Bluffs. In addition to tho other friends who greeted them on this side of the river was a party of relatives from Des Moines. This portion of tho Des Moines contingent had come to Omaha on Tuesday and spent the night In this city. Those making up the surprlso party were Mrs. Nathan C. Coffin, Mis Anna Conger, Miss Hazel Conger, Miss Irene Courtney, Mr. Edwin Williams aud Mr. Wlllard Pierce. The real demonstration of tbe day, tbe reception on tho Iowa aide, was then en tered upon. After tho banquet and recep tion yesterday afternoon the Conger party proceeded to Des Moines In company with a large delegation from that city as an escort of honor.
