PEACE Since the Bitting of the council of the empire, March 19, at which Premier Witte made an enigmatical statement, which was Interpreted by many members of the council as a virtual declaration that his career as preinier was ended and that he would be aucceeded by Privy Councilor Kokovskoff, former minister of finance, the premier has not attended the session of the council, and his continued absence adds color to the rumors of his retirement at an early date. It la positively asserted that the premier's resignation, based on the grounds of 111 health, Is before the emperor. This, however, is not admitted at the premiers chancellory. The general belief In high quarters is that if Count Witte retires It will not be M. Kokovskoff, but M. Goremykin, former minister of the Interior, or General Count Ign&tleff, leader of the reactionary party, who will succeed him. The combination of the reactionaries Is un. derstood to be M. Goremykin for premier and Ceneral Ignatleff for minister of the interior. In moderate circles the fall of Count Witte at the present Juncture would be regarded as a catastrophe. CONEEREKCE STRIKE OF MINERS CERTAIN. Men Authorized to Work In Any Dis- trict Where 8cale la 8lgned. Ind. The national Indianapolis, convention of the United Mine Workers of America adjourned sine die on Friday, after authorizing the national and district officers to sign a wage agreement with any coal operator who would agree to pay the scale of 1903 or Its equivalent for a period of two years. This Is an advance of 5.55 per cent In wages In Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and western Pennsylvania, and all other districts except the southwest, composed of Missouri. Kansas. Texas, Arkansas and the Indian Territory, where an advance of 3 cents per ton Is demanded, as the 1903 scale Is practically In force In that'dlstrlct. The convention declined an offer made by the operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio to submit the wage differences to arbitration. When a coal operator owns mines In different districts the scale must be signed for all the properties at the same time before any will be allowed to run. OF Great Powers Are Invited to Attend a Second Hague Conference Early In the Coming Summer. the Unexpectedly Washington. Russian government on Tuesday made another movement toward the recon-ven- t Ion of The Hague conference when Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, presented to Secretary Root a proposal for the reconvention of the conference at The Hague early In the coming summer, and Indicated that the Netherlands government had assented to the proposal. A casual review of the proposal discloses nothing that is calculated to arouse opposition on the part of the United States government, but unless the Algeciras conference has materially modified the views of certain of the European great powers, there Is a notable disinclination to enter into any engagements that would further restrict the Independence of action of a power in international matters. MIXED RESULTS IN CHICAGO. Citizens Voted Against Operation of the 8treet Railways by the City. Under the result of the Chicago. city election held Tuesday, In which the question of municipal ownership of the street railways was the vital Issue, the city of Chicago can proceed to acquire and control the railways, but cannot operate them. At the same time the voters, while declaring that the city shall not proceed to operate the railroads, declared that as a question of policy It would be desirable for the city to do so. The total vote cast on the question of municipal ownership was 231,171. Of this number 120,911 were cast In favor of municipal operation of the street railways, and 110,260 against It. In order to become binding tbe proposition to operate the railways should have received 138,703 votes. It therefore fell short of the required number by 17,792 votes. Such la the News Received by Prominent 8an Francisco Chinese. San Francisco. The Bulletin says that direct Information from the trade ports and centers of China la to the effect that the boycott against goods shipped from the United States Is rapidly dying out and that there la a prospect of an early and full resumption of business.

They have been received by the Six Companies, and cover all of China that Is known to the American business man, coming from Canton, Hongkong, Shanghai and Hankokr. Some of the Soft Coal Miners Secure the Scale. With the exception of Pittsburg. one or two points outside of the Pittsburg district tbe strained situation between operators and miners In the soft coal fields of western Pennsylvania is hourly growing more pacific. Following the signing of the scale demanded by the miners, the mines of the operators who signed the scale resumed their operations, although In many instances with reduced forces. In the Pittsburg district there were 18,000 miners working and 1,200 were Idle. The Independent operators met on Tuesday and decided not to sign the scale and not to work their mines The Independent operators employ between 12,000 and 11,000 men and they are ull Idle.
