LITTLE FAITH IN THE
MINERS' PILGRIMAGE
Governor Stone and Adjutant Gen-

Unrrlsburfr, May . Governor Stone,
A.I hi t;i n L Ceneial Stewart and other
state ofliclals take no stock in tho
stories that the mlueis hi the anthra
cite ickIoii are proparlnK' to march Io
Ilui'ilsbuim: to demand the jiassiiKe of
the anthracite mine bills passed by the
house eaily in April. These bills are
pending before the 'jenate eomtnitlee
on mines and minliiK, and it is expected
tbev will be reported out after "Wed-nes-day
nifrht's liearins.
Tlie state otlleials also denied Unit
Hit. National Guard is to be called out
to escort the miners to HarrisburK, al
though there has been unusual activ
ity about the state arsenal in this city
since Sattiiday. It is probable that a
portion of the guard will he ordeied
out to prevent any possible trouble, if
the miners -should decide to come heie
In a body.

a view of learnim; the true situation
of the proposed march of Ihe miners to
Harrlsburj;. Colonel Kichardson would
not discuss tlie situation, but it is said
that secret orders have been sent out
to certain military commands, and
should there be a movement Io march
on Uarrlsburs: the miners would bo
turned back.
Them has been no request made by

WHERE NEGROES
CANNOT VOTE
First Election Held in Baltimore
Under the Law Calculated to
Disfranchise the Illiterate.
By i:ela-nc Wue from The Associateil I'iw.
naUimore, May C The fli&t import
ant election to be held under the new
ballot law devised by the Democrats
to disfr.inshl.se illiterates-, will take
place in this city tomororw, when a
new city council will be chosen. Tli
election will be InterestlniT principally
because of lis beailnpr upon the new
law, and the opportunity which 1t will
alioid for testlni; its efficacy from a
Democratic point of view.
Hoth parties have been comparative
ly inactive In their canvasses and tlio
general public Is decidedly aiiatheii as
to the remit. Of the two, however,
the Hepubllcans have made tho si eater
effort. This fait, together with the
further fuel that a factional light In
the Demoi-cratlc ranks Is on, with
.Mayor Hayes and his friends on one
side and the followeis of I. Kieoiuan
Kasln. on the oilier, makes It highly
probable that the council, which Is now
Democratic, may have a Republican
majority after tho votes ai'i counted.
Surface Indications point io this ie
hiilt as Inevitable unless the new law
cms olf oiioukIi ik-kmi voles Io give
the Democrats a l tory.

CONFERENCE ON
BALLOT REFORM
Republican nnd Democratic Lenders
Try to Foimulato a Bill Party
Circle to Be Dropped.
By r.xilniivi' Wile from The "Wndaled 1'icm.
Tlarrhburg, May (!. A conference be
tween tho Kepubllcan and Democratic
leaders of Pennsylvania on ballot re
form legislation was held tonight at
the executive inanson. The purpose of
the meeting was to try to formulate a.
ballot bill which will receive the sup
port of a majoilty ot the members ot
the picsent legislature. The Republi
can confeiees were United States Sen
ators Quay iiml Penrose, Governor
Stone, JiiMiianee Commissioner Dur
ham, Senator Focht, chaliman of the
senate election committee; Senate
President Pro Tern Snyder and State
Chairman Ueeder. The Democratic
representatives were Colonel James M.
Guffey, of Pittsburg, member of the
national committee: Congressman Polk,
of Montour; Representative Ikeler, of
Columbia: ex-State Chairman Killing,
State Chairman Creasy and Senator
Miller, of Cumberland.
The Democrats favor the passage of
a hill which does away -with the party
circle on the official ballot, and will
agree to no measure which provides
for lis retention. Senator Quay also
favois the elimination of the circle, but
some of his associates are opposed to
doing away with It.
The conference came to it close after
midnight, without reaching a definite
agreement. Hoth parties agreed that
Ihe party circle Miould he dropped and
that the party colninc-i" .should lemaln
as they aie on the present ballot. The
Democrats insisted that no person shall
be entitled to assist more than ten
voters to prepare their ballot, and that
bofote a voter can secure assistance he
must, make aflldavit. that be cannot
read and write, or that he is physic
ally unable to prepare his ballot. Tlio
Republicans objected to the feature re
quiring the voter to make affidavit as
to his disability, and promised to take
the matter under consideration and re
port later. Tho original Democratic
proposition was that no person could
assist more than three voters.

but It la Understood Thnt They
Are aix Expression of the Views of
United States Senators as to the

By Ilsdmhe Wire from Tfie As'oclaleil fun.
London, May (I. The Associated
Press has been officially notified that
Lord Pauncefote has received from
Secretary Hay tho draft of a new Nlc
araguan canal treaty.
It is undTstood thnt II advises neu
trality. It is learned from an authoritative
source that before Secretary Hay left
hero for the west he had several con
ferences with Xord Pauncefote rela
tive to the basis for another Isthmian
canal treaty and that an unofficial
written memorandum was submitted
to Lord Pauncefote on the subject.
The ambassador has made known the
general results of these conversations
and tit the memorandum to the au
thorities at London nnd it is doubtless
lo this that allusion Is made in the
London dispatches. It Is said, how
ever, that the negotiations ate not
so tonatlve and informal that they
are not regaidcd as an official ex
change or proposition. What they cm
body is not made known Ttere, tiioiigh
it is understood they are an expres
sion of the views held by I'nited
States senators as lo the essential
features which should be Included in

of a treaty, It conveys to the Uritislt.
authorities what is considered essen
tial by the senators who control the
ratification of any treaty which will
be made. It i.s also learned indirectly
from the senators who have been con
sulted that among the features in tho
negotiations are a neutralizing of the
canal, the I'nltcd States alone under
talcing fo guarantee this neutrality,
and the admission of all shipping
on an ecmui basis with that ot the
I'nltcd States.
Although, as stated these confer
ences and the written memorandum
have been exchanged. It is not ex
pected that there will be any further
negotiations prior to Lord Pauncofote's
departuie for London, which occurs
on June r, or during his absence. The
Prltlsh embassy will remove to New
