Prominent CohI Men Gathered at
Harrislwnj.
CONFERENCE HELD LAST NIGHT
Anthracite Operators Opposed to tlio New
Proposition ond Tin eaten tu With
draw from the Confereueo-Keg-ulur
Legislative Work.
Special to the Srranton Tribune.
Harrlsburg, March IX The house Is
getting down to work In earnest. A
resolution was reported today from the
rules committee, and adopted, that no
hills shall be read In place after March
25, except by unanimous consent. A
resolution was also reported from the
committee and adopted abolishing
night sessions on Tuesdays, Wednes
days and Thursdays, and Increasing
the length of the afternoon session
from two to three hours. This change
Is made necessary In order that the
committees may have more time to
properly consh'.er the legislation, before
them. The older of business In the
house today was the consideration of
bills on second reading.
The vote by which the Hicks bill,
establishing public employment
bureaus in cities, was defeated lust
flight was re-considered and amended
so us not to make It compulsory. The
Clarency amendment to the banking
act to relieve building and loan asso
ciations from making semi-annual re
port to the commission of banking for
publication was taken up on a special
order and read the second time. Mr.
Clarency explained that Hanking Com
missioner llilkeson had agreed with
representatives of the Pennsylvania
league of building and loan associations
that the bill was a proper one and
should become a law.
The blll regulatlng the returns of con
stables to courts of quarter sessions
was dropped from the calendar on mo
tion of Mr. O'Malley, and the senate
bill substituted therefor. The measure
makes It unnecessary for constables
to make returns except where there are
violations necessary to report. Mr.
Fow opposed the proposition because If
it become a law constables could not
make report us required by the Hrooks'
high license act. He contended that
the presence of constables In court us
now required by law gave the judges
to consult with them us to any viola
tions In their districts. The house took
this view of the bill and killed It.
Mr. kunkcl's .Measure.
Mr. Kunkel's bill that the right of
action for inlury wrongfully done to
the person shall survive against the
personal representatives of the wrong
doer, and limiting the tinia within
which suit for such Injury must be
Tittntght, went through on second lead
ing. Actions of this kind under the bill
may be enforced against executors and
administrators by continuing a suit
which may have been brought against
the wrongdoer in his lifetime as by
bringing an original suit after his death,
Mr. Kunkel had the bill amended so
that the limitation of these actions Is
two years from the time the Injury is
received, In case death does not result
and in case of death one year from the
time of deuth.

Spuin, Italy und ICnglund Pcmund Attention-Acting
Seeretury till Perplexed.
Colorado Itlots the Most Seri
ous in l.ffcet.
Washington, March 13. The United
Stules government linds itself today
with the promise of three International
complications on its hands, two of
Which huve developed within the pust
twenty-four hours.
No notion of a positive character has
yet been taken with reference to the
reported llrlng on the American
steamer Allianca by u Spanish war
vessel. The Spunlsh minister, Senor
Muruuguu, called upon Acting Secreta
ry I'hl this morning und Infotmuily
gave ussurunee of prompt explanation
and repartition If wrong had been done.
The protest and complaint written by
Captain Crossman of the Alllancu to
Secretary Gresham (which was pub
lished In the nowspupors this morning)
urrlved In Washington by mull today
and reached Acting Secretary I'hl at
the state department this afternoon.
After a consultation with Secretary
Greshum. Mr. I'hl, us ucting secretary,
sent u telegram to Captain Crossmuu in
New York usklng for further particu
lars. It is expected that Captain Cross
man will send by mall full details.
Mr. I'hl whs usked by the United
Press whether unythlng else had been
done by this government and he an
swered In the negative. He wus also
asked whether the government had no
titled Mr. Taylor, the United States
mlniter at Madrid, or Mr. Williams,
the United States consul general tit
Havana of the reported action of the
Spanish wurshlp, and .he replied that
nothing could be done until further
particulars hod been received from
Captain Crossman.
The merits of the case are Involved
In the question whether tho Spanish
war ship had the right to stop the Al
liance with the belief that she was con
veying aid to the Insurgents and the
further question whether, granting the
tight of the Spanlurds to order her to
heave to, Captain Crossman was Justi
fied in Imperiling his ship by not obey
ing him.
The Colorado Slaughter.
The killing of Italians at Walsenberg,
Colo., is regarded as a most unfortu
nate sequel to the Malia riots in ISM.
which for u time caused the withdrawal
of the Italian minister from the United
States and a leave of absence to our
minister at Home, und was only ad
Justed by the voluntary payment of a
large amount of damages by the Unit
ed States. , Th- Mr.rquis Imperlull, first,
secretary of the Italian embassy, called'
on Acting Secretary Uhl at tho stute
department this morning and present
ed a dispatch saying that four Italians
had been killed by a mob at Walsen
berg yesterday. The Murquls jlld not
file a formal complaint, but merely
asked that the federal government take
steps to secure the safety -of other
Italians. Mr. Uhl promised to do so,
and sent a telegram to the governor of
Colorado asking what measures had
been taken to Insure compliance with
the request of the Italian government.
After tho telegram was sertt, news of
the killing of another Italian at Wal
senberg was received by Mr. Uhl. To
these causes of International trouble
the serious wounding of the British
Purser Bain, at New Orleans, and the
still pending Interruption of British
commerce with that port add a third
difficulty of no slight dimensions.
AH of them will demand the presi
dent's attention on his return.
SENOR MUKUACU.VS ULLT'F,
He liitiiiuitss Thut the Yunkco Skipper
Muy Have I'revnrieuteJ.
Washington, March 13. The Spanish
minister, Senor Murungua, cabled the
governor general of Cuba today for in
formation regarding the firing upon the
American steamer Allianca by a Span
ish gunboat on the morning of March 8.
At a late hour this afternoon no answer
had been received. Senor Muruagua as
sumes that t)e captain of the gunboat
has not as yet had an opportunity of
making his report to headquarters.
When It Is received Its substance will
be at once telegraphed to the legation
here.
Senor Murungua feels that the state
ments printed In the American newspa
pers today are somewhat misleading
and he believes thut when the other
side of the story Is printed It will put
the matter In a different light. He ridi
cules Hie suggestion that the action of
the Spunlsh cnptuln In tiling upon the
Allianca was an Indication of hostility
on the part of the Spunlsh government.

SKELETON IN A TARRED HOX.
Jeffcrsonvlllo Hoys Make a Ghastly lind
on the Hivcr Bank.
Jeffersonville, Ind., March 13. The
finding this morning of a, skeleton In a
thickly tarred box is causing no little
amount of excitement. Several boys
on their way to the government dike
discovered a box three feet long, about
three feet wide and two and one-half
feet deep. Inside was a ghastly looking
skeleton, supposed to be a man, with
on indenture In the skull evidently
made with a blunt instrument.
The police were notified of the find
and an effort will be made to clear
the mystery. A theory advanced was
that the man was murdered and burled
In thu box, which has been washed out
by the shifting current.

lTALIANSJMlUDEKED.
Seven Persons lluvo Been Killed by tho
Colorado Mobs-Privcrof tho Prisoners'
Wngon Sin in by Mlstukc.
Denver, March 13. Mob rule has
reigned among the miners in the coal
camps of Huerfano county since Sun
day night, und seven of their victims
ull but one 1 tallans have been sluin
by bullets from the mob's Winchesters.
Four of the Italians were killed from
ambush yesterday while being; taken
prisoners In a wagon to the Jail at Wal
senberg, ufter a coroner's committment
of complicity in the inurdci of Abner
J. Hyun, a temperance saloonkeeper, at
House. An American boy, who was
driving the wagon, wus unintentionally
killed by the fusllade of bullets.
Before daylight this morning a mob
of miners und citizens of Walsenberg
gathered outside the jail where two
of the Italians were confined, got Inside,
by a pretense, and killed both prisoners.
It Is reported thut the same mob, thirst
ing for more bloodshed, later took out
of Jail a German, charged with rape,
and killed him. During the excitement
two other prisoners escaped. The
names of the dead, so far as known,
ure' as follows; Joseph Welsby, boy,
driver of prisoners' wagon. Lorenzo
Iiinlno, killed In Jail. He beat Hyan to
death. Pete Jacobinl, killed in Jail. Tho
names of the four Italians killed on the
roud are unknown.
Today's attack upon the Jail was the
result of the extreme excitement pro
voked by the summary veugvance of
Hyan's friends.
A Bloodhound I seJ.
The motive for the murder of Hyan
is the subject of much speculation. The
deceased was not of an aggressive or
quarrelsome disposition. It Is thought
he was attacked last Sunday while on
the road from Walsenberg to Rouse, a
coal mining camp, six miles distant,
and knocked from hlB horse by a blow
on the head. There was absolutely no
clew to the perpUrators vt -..'le crime,
but T. J. Brewer, a pit boss at the coal
mine, solved this dlfliculty. He secured
u trained blood hound and put hlin on
the scent. The- dog struck a trail that
led the pursuers to the rear of a saloon
half a mile away. The intelligent, brute
bnyed and rushed to an old table stand
ing In the rear room. An examination
of the table revealed fresh blood stains.
Lorenzo Danlno and Jobatto Antonio,
who were found In the room, were Im
mediately arrested. The dog continued
to a neighboring cabin, where Pete Po
zetta and Frank Aurico were found.
The quartette of Italians made many
damaging admissions of knowledge of
tho murder, and upon close questioning
the nomes of five others Implicated
were divulged. Danino was charged
with being the chief conspirator.
Horsemen scoured the surrounding
country, and by 4 o'clock In the after
noon all the suspected Italians were
under ursest and lodged in Jail.

SITUATION AT MEW ORLEANS
The Negro Serewmen Still Remain
Under Cover.
MILITARY CONTROLS THE CITY
Governor Poster Is In tho City and Is De
termined That Older Shall Ho Pre
berved -.Militia In Readiness to
Uespond to a Ouiek Call.
New Orleans, March 13. A carnival
of riot has Juut been concluded and the
prospects for unother disturbance ure
good. The promised trouble Is a street
cur strike, and while the men may be
culled off their cars at any time the
call may not take effect until Friday
morning. From general rumors heard,
the feeling of the men was to go out tills
evening. Before noon, this report be
came current ut the banks and on the
exchanges, und created quite a Hurry.
Neurly all kinds of opinions were ex
pressed and the majority were against
the strike being general, at least. The
strike will probably be confined to the
lines of the Traction company, and the
Currollton and St. Charles Avenue line
will not be affected.
Superintendent Little, of the Traction
company, sulil he understood that the
men were to be ordered off the cars on
Friday morning. He said ho could not
tell what he was going to do about
the strike until then. He had been
overheard to say several times that If
it was necessary the company would tie
up its cars in the barn und wait until
matters returned to their peaceful
channels.
The levee, the scene of yesterday's
rioting, presented a quiet aspect this
morning. Where yesetrday crowds of
excited strikers, armed with all kinds
of weapons, patrolled the river front,
nothing was to be seen this morning
but squads of policemen. The police
did not wait today until actual shoot
ing should begin befire taking nctlon,
as was th case yesterday. Word was
sent to all precinct commanders last
night to have their forces on the river
front at daylight this morning, and
they were on hand in large numbers.
Colored Serewmen Keen Dark.
A heavy fog hung over the river all
the' morning, and the police were under
tho Impression that the rioters would
again take ndavantage of this fact and
commit deeds of violence. But this
apprehension was not borne out, for
the simple reason that not a negro
uppeareil on the levee. Every negro
whose business calls him to the liver
front took a day off today, and kept at
home. The various steamship agents
who up to yesterday had been employ
ing; negro "serewmen" told their men
to remain at home until they were sent
for. At a meeting of the agents held
last night they decided, In view of the
unsettled state of affairs, it would be
bad policy to attempt to work thei' col
ored labor. The .result was that all
ships that were loading by agents em
ploying colored labor are undisturbed
today. There are a dozen or more ships
receiving cargaes, but they are handled
by white men. From present appear
ances, trouble on the levee Is over.
The .Military in Kcndlncss.
Governor Foster was up' early this
morning, notwithstanding that It was
very late when he went to bed lust
night. He remained at his hotel until
nine o'clock it. m first having received
Information of how affairs were on the
river. He received a number of ship
agents and reiterated his assertion of
lust evening that he would maintain
peace und quite at nil hazards. He,
however, advised the agents not to at
tempt to work their negro labor today,
believing that if the negroes kept off
the scene for twenty-four hours the
lighting spirit of the rioters would die
out..
The governor also received Informa
tion that the military were many of
them at their armories nnd could be
moved at a moment's notice.
Eight urrests have been made, all
white "serewmen," who were charged
with inciting a riot.
(iood Counsel Prevuils.
Wise counsel bus at length prevailed
and there will no strike of the street
cur employes of this city. Tills state
ment Is given out tonight by the lead
ers of the employes. Governor Foster
has Issued a proclamation commanding
all riotous bodies to disperse and de
claring he will maintain order, protect
all persons in the full enjoyment of
their lights and bring the guilty to
Justice at all hazards.
QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS.

and colored laborers tho same as usual.

WITH CilBlSTlAN SPIRIT.
Mr. und Mrs. CopeMuke Claim to Have
Tortured Their Children According to
Ideus Gained from tho llible.
Philadelphia, March 13. A revolting
case of heartless arid almost unbeliev
able cruelty of a man and his wife
towards their two helpless children
was brought to light today at a hear
ing before Magistrate Milligau. If any
thing could add to the barburlty of the
tortures practiced upon his own chil
dren was the assertion by the father
that he had Biblical admonition for the
course he pursued. The case was one
brought by the Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Children against Jo
seph and Elizabeth Copestake, on the
charge of brutality towards their two
sons, Joseph, aged 11 years, and John,
aged 8.
It was shown by testimony that dur
ing the recent artic weuther the chil
dren were left with hardly any clothing
upon them in the cellar with their
hands tied to a water pipe. Another
form of punishment practiced by this
Inhuman pair was the placing of the
children's hands upon a hot stove until
the flesh was almost burned to the bone.
Even this did not satisfy the barbarous
Instincts of the Copestakes, and on
several occasions the children were
compelled to sit in the open air on cold
nights with their naked feet in buckets
of water. This form of punishment is
said to have resulted In freezing their
feet to the ankles. The boys gave their
testimony to the magistrate reluctant
ly and in evident fear of their brutal
parents.
When the magistrate asked Mrs.
Copestake for some explanation of her
cruell the utoman replied with' a toss
of her head that they were only pun
ished when they needed it.
When the magistrate turned upon
Copestake the man replied to his ques
tions with a meek and lowly air, "All
that was done was done In a Christian
spirit." "Where did you get those
ideas of Christianity?" asked the In
dignant magistrate.
"From the Bible," was the reply.
"Where does the Bible tell you to
burn your children and Inflict upon
them kindred acts of cruelty?"
There was need of it," answered
Copestake.
"Well, if they had needed much fur
ther punishment you would have soon
have needed an undertaker," replied
the magistrate. "I fine you $50 each
and you will stand committed until It is
paid. The children 1 will turn over to
the care of the Society for the Preven
tion of Cruelty to Children."
