Dominant Party in Russia Will Not Declare Its Position. St. Petersburg The discussion in the lower house of parliament of a motion disapproving of terrorism, which was expected to result in a stormy debate, has been postponed in the belief that the personal interview between M. Golovin. president of the house, and Emperor Nicholas, will throw some light on the emperor's attitude toward the douma. The constitutional democrats are pessimistic and consider" the discussion of the motion on terrorism will be a most crucial ordeal for the house. They were practically thrown into a panic Saturday by a report of the impending dissolution of the douma, and believed the nomination of M. Pichno, a noted reactionary., to the council of the empire, called for steps of immediate TRIAL OF THE "BLACK HAND." Murderous Foreigners on Trial at Wilkesbarre, Pennsylvania. Wilkesbarre, Pa. More than a score of foreigners charged with being members of the "Black Hand" and re sponsible for a large number of crimes in this vicinity, were placed on trial here Monday. Thirteen cases of shooting with attempt to kill, thirteen of conspiracy, six of dynamiting and two of robbery by threats and menaces are charged against the men who are alleged to be the leaders.

J An alleged plot on the part of Pennsylvania anarchists who are said to have headquarters at Hazelton. to assassinate President Roosevelt, is being investigated by the United States secret service. Information which led to the investigation was given to the officers by Chief of Police Adams a few days ago just before he shot and killed nimseir. The chier told the secret service officials that he obtained his Information from Jan Bartula, who recently came here from Audenried, Pa., and who claims to be a member of the band. He said they had gone back on him and it was with a desire to be revenged on them that he exposed the plot. He gave Adams the names of several persons, who, he in the plot, said, were implicated and further said that Czolgosz, who assassinated President McKinley, had been a member of the band. Cheif Flynn of the New York district of the United States secret service, has had several men at work upon the case ever since the information was given him by Chief Adams. They have interviewed Bartula, and he told them practically the same story. irl MANCHURIA HANDED OVER. 500-fo- - Term Scheme Strikes Snag.

C. Practically all the coal mines in eastern British Co lumbia and Alberta are closed. It was rumored Friday morning that Presi dent Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America had instructed District President Sherman to ask the men to resume work, but Sherman denied this. Then S. S. Lindsay, manager of the Crow's Nest Coal company, gave out a copy of a dispatch he had received from Mitchell, who said definitely that he had ordered Sherman to get the men back to work. The men have quit work, but not definitely gone on a strike, so that hey may not be prosecuted under a new dominion government law. Sher man and Patterson, bis assistant, both state that the men are pressing them to issue a strike order, no doubt on account of the ambiguous position they occupy, thus quitting work with out any definite arrangements. There Is much doubt about the action of quitting work without calling it a strike, secretly ordered, and all fall ing info line, being a strategic move to evade violation of the clause of the act. Sherman says he will not pay strike allowances because he can get around that by paying a working allowance, it looks as though the operators had broken the law in posting no tices of a reduction pending the dispute. The Canadian Pacific railway at Fernie has only 190 tons of coal on hand, and that brought in from Frank, which worked Thursday.

Thus the question which has agitated the porte for the past twelve years and has been the subject of laborious diplomatic negotiations for two years is now finally settled and the bargain completed by which foreign commerce is taxed to pay the cost of maintaining order in Macedonia, 75 per cent of the revenue derived from the increase in customs being set aside for the requirements of the Macedonian budget. The porte has, however, still to obtain the assen of the United States and smaller powers to the agreement, and this will afford Ambassador Leishman the opportunity of bringing pressure to bear in presenting the school question.

A sharp drop in tempera- ture followed the snowstorm Sat urday night, 14 above zero being recorded by the weather bureau in both Denver an Pueblo, and fruit of all kinds in eastern Colorado was effectually nipped in the bud. At Grand Junction, the center of the more important fruitgrowing district west of the continental divide, the temperature fell to 30 degrees, and the weather observer there reported today that the condition of fruit was grave.
