A conference that promliea to change the aspect of the an thracite i'rlk altuttton was held In tola city today between several member of the National Civic Federation and union In terests. President John Mitchell df. the United Mine Worhere of America, who ar rived here Sunday, met Frank , P.

SOU Doabtfnl taealoa. WILKfilSflARftE. Pa.. May 2 It Is still matter of conjecture whether the mines la th anlbraclt region will be completely hut down next Monday, when the order Issued by the executive, board of the United Mine Worker governing the hours of labor and wage to be paid engineers, firemen and pump runner goes into effect. The operator claim they will have all the help necessary to keep th pump and engine running order. The United Mn Workers and the officers of tha Stationary Firemen's association, on the other hand, claim that unless the coal companies grant the demands made upon them the great bulk of the engineers, fire men and pumpmen will quit work. Many of (he engineers do not like the predica ment they are placed In. If they quit work they may never be reinstated, while if they remain at 'their posts and the miners should win their strike they probably would find that things would not be so pleasant for them at the collieries In the future. Moat of Them Will Strike. At a largely attended meeting in this city tonight a committee of United Mine Workers reported that they had called on many engineer during th day and that nearly all had given thotr word thit they would Join th other striker next Monday unless the demand tor a shorter workday wa granted. The firemen will atrlke almost to a man and the operators will be compelled to secure green hands to take their places. The stationary firemen have a membership of over 1.000 In the district, and within a year a great many firemen who formerly belonged to the Stationary Firemen's as sociation have joined the United Mine Workers. . Secretary Mullahy claims that 9 per tint of the engineers and pumpmen will -atrke. Th engineers, firemen and pumptnen who were discharged at - the Boston colliery Of the Deleware aV Hudson company because they refused to do the work which was formerly done by the strikers were reinstated today.

Hovrlck, as sistant director of the American Museum of National History, who went to Martinique on the cruiser Dixie to examine the vol canic phenomena, cables the Herald from Caatrles, St. Lucia: St. Pierre can only be compared to Pom- pell. The devastation and desolation are even worse. it is evident tnat a tornado or auffocatin nr gaa wrecked the buildings and asphyxiated the people, thus completing; the ruin. This accords with the statement made that asphyxiation preceded the deatrjctlon of the city, the gas being sulphureated hydro gen, ignited by lightning or the fires In the city. The same tornado drove the ship In the roadstead to the bottom of the sea or burned them before they could escape. This cornea the nearer to being a sheet of name tnan any Heretofore heard of vol cano. No flow of lava has apparently attended the eruption yet, th hlghlv explosive erup tions bringing no mourn .material to the surface. There is no change In the coast line from Fort de France to St. Pierre. The great emiaslon of suffocating gat and the typical cloudburst erosion, with the resulting streama of mud, are among the new features which Pelee waa added to the aclentlQc knowledge of volcanoes.

The crew of Dauntless became fright ened on the voyage and refused to go on and deserted the eloop at Dominica. This delayed the relief expedition, but Daunt less obtained a new crew at Dominica and finally went on to Its destination. On the passage southward Captain Lake saya -Mount Pelee was seen blatlng grandly t intervala ot about a quarter of an hour. Its eruptions were accompanied by awful sounds, resembling deep thunder. Pebble and volcanic debris rained constantly upon the deck of Dauntless. When' Dauntless passed St. Pierre-on the Voyage northward the city's ruins were burning fiercely, but the volcano waa quiescent. This Island has been swept by a fearful thunderstorm.

LOS ANGELES -IS SELECTED Next Presbyterian General Assembly to Be" Held la Catl ' fornla. NEW TORK, May 28. The Presbyterian General assembly of today'a fission chose Los -Angeles. Cal.," a the place of next meeting. The geenral assembly acted adversely on an overture from the presbytery ot Los Angeles requesting that the Southern Presbyterian be honorably retired with the am privileges aa if they had served al ways with the church under the general assembly. The matter came before the assembly In a report from the committee on ministerial relief, which recommended adverse action. Rev. William 8. Young, D. D., pastor ot the Emanual Presbyterian church, Los Angeles, advised that the assembly act favorably on the overture. In the west, he said, there were many ministers who had come from the southern branch and that favorable action by the assembly would help to bring the two churches to gether. Rev. Dr. Thomas Psrrlty of William- burg, Pa., chairman ot the committee, took the oposlte view. He said It would open the door for mlo later of other denominations to come to the Presbyterian church and claim the same privilege a th ministers who had aerved the general assembly all their live. Kev. Drv -Benjamin L. Agnw. W. V; A., aecretary of the Board of Ministerial Re lief, spoke in the earn vein. He said the result of 'granting the demand of the presbytery of Los Angeles would be that many of the1 retired ministers who had alwaya been ' with the northern Presby terian church would have their already scant allowances cut down. "When the civil war waa closed." be said, "I would have been willing to vole for the union of the two churches, but I am utterly opposed to holding out any racney consideration to win them over. When they come over to us tbey have the same privileges as our members." Rev. Dr. James D. Mcllvain ot Balttmor eatd It would be unfortunate If the over ture did not receive favorable action "There la no difference with us between the church, north or south," he said. When the question of selecting a meeting place was taken up Rev. Dr. Henry C. Mlnton, former moderator, mads a ten tnlnut address In favor of Los Angeles. H said Los Angeles had worked two year to get the assembly and should have It next year. Rev. Dr. Richard S. Holmea of Pittsburg pointed out that there wait a great differ ence between the mileage for Cleveland and Los Angeles. "If you want to burden the membership for such a big sum ss this dif ference would be, let the money go to home missions or to pay oft the debt on th Presbyterian building. We have no right to do a thing to favor any big eorporatloa or railroad." The Presbyterian general assembly ad journed sina die. ' Dr. West Enters Protest, DALLAS, Tex.. Msy 26. At today'a aea alon of ths gensral conference of the Metho dist Episcopal church, south, Dr. Anson West of Alabama entered a written protest against the action of the general confer ence creating the order ot deaconesses, which elicited a spirited argument,' but the conference permitted it to be spread an th records "in deference to the long servlc of Dr. West." A resolution waa adopted that no legls latlon enacted by thia general conference affecting the local preachers shall go Into effect before September 1, 1902. An appeal to the church at large, aigned by the bishops in conference, for aid to the cyclone-emltten town of Goliad, waa admitted.

GENERAL WARREN DEFENDED Anonymous Author Publishes Book Explaining; Ilia Actions In South Africa. NEW YORK, Msy 26. A Tribune dispatch from London says that an Important book Is published today In reference to Sir Charles Warren's action at Splon Kop. The auth r conceals his Identity under the pseudonym of "Defender," .but It Is understood he ex presses Sir Charles Warren's views with regard to that famous battle. It will be remembered that about a month ago. Sir Charles publicly complained that the government was still withholding somo documents bearing upon bis operations and that those which were held, it considered by themselves, gave a totally incorrect view ot the matter and one which reflected seriously on his military reputation. The writer points out that the Boers con- Idered Splon Kop the key to the situation In Natal and that had it been held Lady- smith probably would have been won. Hia contention, therefore, is that blame for the failure should Pot be cast upon Sir Charles Warren, who ordered the situation to be taken, but on Colonel Thorneycroft, who abandoned It, without sufficient reason and without consulting htm. The writer says the general result of all the Information Is to make It clear that Splon Kop was ths . key to the position dominating the country and that no one was more astonished and surprised, at th aban donment than General Warren, except the Boer themselves. .
