KNOWS NOTHING OF
ANY CONCESSIONS
President Mitchell Has Had No
Communication Dlrectlu or Un-
dlrectlu with the Operators.
ANNOUNCEMENT WAS A
BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
FOpon HIa A r-al Here Last Night
tho National President of the
Mino Workers Blasted High Hopes
Created by Now York Stories That
Pence Was Assured Expected He
Would Have with Him an Officer
from the Operators, but He Sid
Not Even Know Positively That
the Opcratois Had a Meeting.
Main Hope Now Lies in the Belief
That Mitchell Does Not Begard the
Present as ah Opportune Time for
a Strike and that Todny's Confer
ence Will Agree with Him State
ment of Oscar Strauss.
Hono tan hiRh yesterday afternoon
"knd late Into the nicflit that the tlne.it
ened miners' strike was ussiiieilly
averted, but at 11.33 p. in., when PieM
j3ent Mitchell arrived from New York,
thls hope was not strengthened. Ice
ports of a .seemingly authoritative
character came crowding fn that the
operators had made concessions which
guaranteed peace. Mr. Mitchell de
clared he knew nothing of any conces
sions or anything which could account
for the peace stories.
At S.30 o'clock last night Tho Tribune
received the following Abhociatcd PrcbS
dispatch from New York:

Seemed a Certainty.
niing on the heels of the afternoon
stories to the s.une effect, this dispatch
pave rise to a belief bordeiiiitr on cer
tainty that tho strike was surely
averted, and that when President Mit
chell arrived he would bear with him
n proposition fiom the operators
which would avoid the strike.
When shown the dispatch imme
diately upon his arrival, President
Mitchell said:
"I know nothing of any concessions,
1 have had no communication of any
kind since Saturday with any of the
operutois or the Civic Federation, or
any one repicsentlng either. Neither

do I know of uuythlng that would war
rant the statement contained In thlH
dispatch that there would be 110 strike.
My only knowledge of a meeting of the
presidents of the coal rouds Is what I
gullied from the newspapers,''
11 was suggested to Mr. Mitchell that
possibly there was some Jotter or tele
gram uwaltlug him which might con
tain woid from the opeiators. He at
onco Inquired of Pioprietor Melvln If
there weie any letters or telegrams for
hlin. and learned that thero was not.
Mr. Mitchell lefused to discuss the
possibilities of the convention or maku
any statement on tho situation, Ho
thought nothing would be given put
for publication until tho convention
adjourned sine die,
Mr. Mitchell wus accompanied from
New York by Ills secretary, Miss Eliza
beth Morris, and President Fahy, of
the Ninth dlstilct. President NIcliolls
and President Puffy, of the First and
Soventlt district, lespectively, weiu
awaiting hlin at tho Kt. Charles, but
after greeting him, wont uwuy, leav
ing Mr. Mitchell to enjoy the goclety
of a scoro or more of New York,
Philadelphia and local newspaper men.
After diseasing of the latter, Mr, Mt
ehell lit a cigar and sat on tho hotel
porch to chat with tho visiting mino
workers and Scranton acquaintances.
Ho appeared to be tiled, but not at all
worried.
The delegates to the conference from
outsldu places arrived last nlcht, most

but, of course, will have a voice In tho

to be completely In the dark as to what

out the best mcuns of meeting the
emergency.
STKAUSS FEAHS A STKIKE.
Vice-Chairman of the Civic Feder
ation Talks of the Situation.
By HxclusKe Wire from The Associated Press.
New York, May 6. Oscar S. Strauss,
vice-chairman of tho National Civic
Federation, and u member of the spe
cial committee on conciliation and aibl
tratlon, said today to the Associated
Press that but for the good offices of
the civic federation nnd the co-opeia-tlon
of the labor leadens of that com
mittee the coal stilke would have been
declared, shortly nfter the meeting held
by the coal miners, at Shamokln, six
weeks ago. The conciliation committee
succeeded In bringing about the two
conferences that have since been held
between the presidents of the four
loads, namely, Messrs. Baer, Truesdale,
Thomas und Ollphant, on the one side,
and President Mitchell and his com
mittee on the other.
Mr. Struuss added that the public Is
entitled to know thut the question at
Issue had nothing to do with the recog
nition of the union. The miners, tep
lesented by Mitchell, asked for an In
crease In pay per ton, and a fixed wage
schedule, and that the coal be weighed
at the mouth of the mine, so that the
net weight of the ton for which they
were paid should moie neuily upproaeh
the ton of commeicc. All of these m.it
teis were discussed at the vailous
meetings In an appurent, spirit of
mutual consideration. The opeiators,
however, absolutely declined to make
any concession upon tiny of these
uoints,
Mr, Strauss, when asked whether he
thought a strike would take place said
he felt thut the refusal of the operators
thus far to make any concessions and
loturnlttg an absolute "no" to Mr,
Mitchell and his colleugues would, In
his opinion, not only leud to 11 strike,
but to 11 most determined one one, ho
feared, thut would extend beyond tho
untluaclte coul regions. Mr. Straus,
added that lie feared the piesldentb of
these rouds, who were naturally Intent
upon their own speclllc Intetests. full
ed to Ei-asp the lar-reachlng Inlluence
upon the country's piesont prosperity a
determined strike, with Its very piob
ablo lamlllcatlons will have upon the
public! welfuie. Otherwise, a more
earnest elfort would have been made,
In view of this public Interest, to, at
least, make some concessions so that
It would bo In the power of the presi
dent of the coal inlueis association to
uvert the stilke,
Mr, Httaubs said his Investigation of
the subject Indicated that this strike
would effect probably a tie-up of one,
If pot two of tho railroads running Into
that region, besides causing a co
operating strike In the bituminous
regions, with their 300,000 "wni kers.
Asked whether, In his opinion, thero
wus yet any possibility of averting
the strike, Mr. Strauss said not unless
801110 reasonable concessions are niudo
to the miners demands, or unless both
sides should con&ent to leuye the wholo
mutter to competent arbitration. Tho
civic federation has up to the present
lime oxhnustPtl Its goods ofnees! It has
used Its best endeavors towards con
ciliation. v
Will Look to Mitchell.

SENATOR BEVERIDGE
OPENS THE BALL
Tho Statesman from Indiana Makes
Sharp Strictures Upon tho Critics
of the American Soldiers Who Fail
to Tell Both Sides of the Story Mr.
Carmack and Mr. Rawlins Warmly
Eesent Any Imputation of Unfair
ness Mr. Hoar Suggests That Fili
pinos Shall Be Allowed to Testify
in Thei Own Behalf Three Desks
Vacant in the House.
Ily Kxclusiie Wire from The Associated Pre;.
Washington, Jlay 6. For almost four
hours today a Ilery discussion of tho
Philippine, situation raged In the sen
ate. It was started by Mr. Hoverldge,
of Indiana, who made some sharp stilc
Iuk's on the members of the opposition,
because, as he said, they persist In tell
ing In their, speeches only one side of
the story. While he admitted that some
outrages had been committed by Ameri
can soldiers In the Philippines, It was
tiue, too, that unparalleled kindness
had been shown by the American troops
to Filipino prisoners and Filipino
ununited. Food and medicine, ho said,
had been shared with them; und they
hiid been succored on the battlefield
and cmrd for tenderly in the hospital.
While saying thc,t the omission to tell
this side of the story by the Democrats
was unintentional, ho suggested that it
was unfair to make an arraignment of
the American soldier und not tell both
sides.
Air. fcirmuck and Mr. Kuwllns warm
ly lesented any Imputation of unfair
ness. Mr. Rawlins declared thut no
partisan motives had actuated the op
ponents of the present Philippine pol
icy, but that they were moved only by
patriotism and love of country.
Mr. Turner, of Washington, delivered
a sciUhlng criticism of ,the methods
practiced by the military authorities
In the'PhlllppIncs, divelllng particular
ly 011 the alleged order 'of General
Smith, whom he denounced as a mon
ster In human form. He urged the
Philippine committee to turn ill the
light possible on the Philippine ques
tion to tho end that the people might
be fully Informed on the situation.
Mr. Hoar (Massachusetts) bilefly de
fended the action of the Philippine
committee, saying that already It had
furnished much valuable information.
He urged that 'tho committee, In all
justice should call some prominent
Fillpinas to testify In their own behalf.
The. House in Mourning.
The house today adjourned Im
mediately after the reading of the Jour
nal out of respect of the memory of
Representative J. S. Salmon, of New
Jersey. This Is the third consecutive
legislative day on which the house has
paid a similar tribute of respect to one
of its deceased members.
Never before In tho history of the

BRET HARTE IS DEAD.
American Author Expired Suddenly
in England Death Followed
Hemorrhage.
By Kxdiishc Wire from The Associated Press.
London, May 6. Francis Bret Harte,
the Ameilcan author, died last night at
the Red house, Camberley, near Alder
shot. A hemorrhage, caused by an af
fection of the throat, caused his death.
Harte had been living quietly in Eng
land for years. Most of his time wns
t.pent In the country, and when In Lon
don he was almost equally secluded,
having few visitors to his rooms at
Lancaster Gate and only going to tho
houses of a limited number of Intimate
friends, Seveial months ago a false re
port of his death was cli diluted in
America. Ho laughed heartily over It
and quoted Mink Twuln's old Buying
about the report being greatly exag
gerated, "Except for a little cold," said
31 Ir, Harte, "1 have no ailments or com
plaints. While 1 am getting to be a
pietty old man," pointing to his snow
white hair, "there Is lire In tho old dog
yet." Thereupon he lit a cigar so largo
that It would have done credit to any
of his Poker Flat friends, He was
hoping, liu ulso siild, to do mora work,
but confessed he was growing lazy.
Mr. Hurto had been suffering from
swelled tonsils since last December, but
he did not consider the complulnt seri
ous. A week ago he went to visit
friends at Camberley, and was present
at lunch, as usuul, there yesterduy, He
was tuHen 111 suddenly In the afternoon,
went to bed, und died peacefully In a
few houis.

St. Louis Courts Decide Against the

By Ksclusbe Wire from The Associated Pick.
St. Louis, May 6. In circuit court
rooms No. 6 and 7 In cases presided
over respectively by Judge Fisher and
Tulty, the application for un Injunc
tion made by the National League to
restrain Shortstop Wallace, Pitcher
Harper and CPnter Fielder Heidrlck
from playing with the St. Louis Ameri

three cases today.
The decision of each Judge Is backed
on a lack of mutuality of the contract,
Its abrogation of personal liberty,
which, It Is declared, may not be bar
tered away. Its opposition to public
policy and Its showing of the existence
of a combination In violation of the
anti-trust laws. This last showing Is
stated by the decision as a sufficient

Washington, May 6. Uear Admiral
William T. Sampson, retired, died at
his home in this city at 5 o'clock this
afternoon. The Immediate cause of
death was a severe cerebral hem
orrhage. Ho had been In a semi-conscious
state for several days, and this
forenoon suffered a severe cerebral
hemorrhage. At the bedside when the
admiral breathed his last were Mrs.
Sampson, Mrs. Culiverlus, the ad
miral's married daughter; Admiral
Sampson's two young sons, Ralph and
Hurold Sampson; Dr. Dixon, tho at
tending physician, and nurses and at
tendants. Mrs. Sampson has broken down un-
'der the severe strain and was quite HI
during the day. But for the critical
condition of the admiral, sho would
have been confined to her bed.
The urrangements for the funeral of
Admiral Sampson will not be completed
until tomorrow. It has been suggested
to Mrs. Sumpson that the naval ceme
tery at Annapolis would be a proper
place for the last resting place of the
remains, while other friends have rep
resented to her that he should be buried
in Arlington cemetery, near this city.
Mrs. Sumpson prefers Annapolis. Mrs.
Sampson suffered a slight accident four
duys ago, while attending to the wants
of the admiral, and has been In bed
since. She probably will not'be able to
attend the funeral services.
William Thomaa .Sampson was boin at Palmyia,
N. V., in 1840, sas the sou of a canal laborer,
and through the influence of former Congressman
t:. 1). Morgan as appointed a cadet at (he
Naal academy, from which Institution he cas
gtiiduated with a star to his name. During the
war for tho union lie sened 011 blockading duty
nnd was on (he gunboat l'atnpsco when bhc nas
blown up by a (orpedo in Charleston harbor in
lbM.
After the uar he scried 011 flic European sta
tion, teas several times one of the instructor at
the Naial nrademy, went with Professor New
comb in Jul, 1878, to Wyoming to observe the
eclipse of the nun, was; promoted to captain in
1SS9, and the following jcar look command of
the new- cruincr Chicago. Next ho became sit
peilntendent of the l.aial gun factory and then
chief of the bureau of ordnance. lit 1S97 he was
plated in command ot the battleship Iowa, and
in I'ebruary, 1818, he waa made president of
(he boird of inquiry to .investigate the Maine
disaster in Havana harbor. Owing tu the illness
of Admiral hicard, Sampson soon afler was
placed in command of the Xortli Atlantic fleet
commanded by that officer, ivitli which, he did
blockading duly and bombarded the fortifica
tions of .San Juan, I'orto Wco, most of the ves
sels being afterward engaged in the destruction
of Admiral Ccrvcra's squadron off Santiago.
Siampson'tf falluie to give Commodore) Schley
what lie nnd I1I3 friends deem fair credit for
that vlctoiy started a notablo contention ending
with a board of inquiry, which last fall sus
tained Sampson, although Admiral Dewey, presi
dent of the board, awarded the credit for tho
tiiumph to Schley. Admiral Sampson has been
for two jears commandant of the navy yard at
Cliarlestown, Mass. He liud been 111 tor the past
three months, Iim nervous system having suc
cumbed to the strain that It had to sustain for
the past four years.
Tho constant application necessitated by li!i
diiticH during the war and his low of sleep dur
ing that period weakened hli constitution, and
when commandant of the Boston navy yard lila
mind gave way,
Kven the sympathetic letter from President
McKlnley, dated March 13, 180. and sent him
wllli notification of retirement by Secretary ot
the Navy Long, failed to arouse his interest, it
is cald. Admiral Sampson was retired from the
naiy, on account of age, on Kcb. P, 1002.
