GLASGOW, April 3.—At a conference of the Lanarkshire coal mesters held this afterncon it was decided to refuse the en. gine men any concessions and a strike is anticipated. This dispute and the consequent idleness of the miners threaten to have a dis- astrous effect upon Scotch trade. Iron furnaces and steelnakers are closing to- night in several stuel eenters. Coal in Glasgow roge 6 cents per .ton to-day.

The | charge against him is one of severai wherein it is alleged that he solicited and recelved campaign funds from his sub- ordinates.

Again, it is plain that the notice to electors | acteaily given for this eclection was not the notice demanded by the charter, and no issue of bonds under the provisions of the charter can be valid which has not the support of an | election held under a notice specifying in sub- stance all matters designated In section 9 of article XII of the charter. The motice relied on in this case did not comply with the pro- Visigns of that.section, and, therefore, no issue of bonds by the city and county of S8ah Fran- cigo-based upon an election held-under some other notice will be valid. This opinion was written by. Justice Garoutte and was concurred in by Ji tices Henshaw, McFarland, Van Dyke and Harrison. ‘Justice Temple wrote the concurring opinion, reaching the same conelusion, but on _slightly different grounds. Justice Temple states in his Spinion that he understands that the park and boulevard act was relied upon be- cause the city authorities were of the opinion that the charter of itself did no: | authorize the purchase of lands for park “And,” says Justice Henshaw, e charter specifies a great many mprovements which the the Board of Public ire, and does not specify there is somc purposes. “since the public municipal i pervisors and Works may acqu parks and boulevards. = ground for such belief. FRIELE IN CRITICAL CONDITION Popular Officer of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company a Victim of “Erysipelas. Captain D. E. Friele, one of the best known and most popular officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, lies in a precarious condition in his room at the Palace Hotel. About a week ago Cap- tain Friele became sick and was confined to khis rooms, erysipelas set in and early this morning he was very low. The doc- tors hold out a small hope of the invalid's recovery. Captain Friele holds the important posi- CAPTAIN | tion of captain of_the port for the Pacific ail Company. He has been in the ser- vice of the company for thirty-six years | and is one of the oldest officers of the cor- poration. He was the captain of the steamship China for several years; he also ran on-the Panama line. Captains Friele is 56 years of age and is a native of New York. i MINERS IN INDIANA WILL HAVE NO STRIKE Representatives of Six Thousand De- cide to Submit to. Conditions Imposed by the Operators. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 3—At a final meeting to-night between the repre- sentatives of the 6000 minersin the In- diana fields and the overators the miners surrendered to the operators on-the claims for the purchase of powder and the threat- ened strike is averted. 3y By the agreement the miners for a year must buy their powder {rom the operators at $17 instead of n (ie open market. This rule prevails in Ohio and Illinois. There is much bitterness among the mui- ers, who are divided into two factions on ;l:e Xgoposmon_. The miners will resume once. ettt el el el % FREUD SEES TWO VALUABLE POINTS Two valuable points are anmounced in decision of the Supreme Court upon the validity of the proposed bond issues: First, the charter is supreme as azainst any law inconsistent there- with. Second, the provisions of the charter embrace a complete and perfect scheme for the issuance of bonds for public improvements. Ths road is therefore clear for immediate action on the part of the electors of San Fran- cisco. ; In_accordance with article XII of the charter, a special election for the irsuance of municipal bonds may be Leld within the next fifty days by the passage of a suitable ordinance by the Board of Supervisors and its legal pub- lication. It is certain that the eiti- zens of this city will avail themselves of this privilege. No further education on these ques- tions will be required. With practical unanimity the voters ratified the propo- sitions to issue bonds for new school buildings, a hospital and to complete the drainage system. The vote upon these subjects .will be again unani- mous. A full two-thirds vote was se- cured before in favor of the Park Pan- handle. The voters will again have an opportunity to express themselves separately on this topic.—J. RICHARD foofesfenfortenfortanfortesfocfocfe cfecte Justice Temple is the only member of the court that expresses any doubt of the right to acquire lands for park purposes, but his opinion may have greater weigh® in event the Supreme Court Is ever called upon to decide the legality of a bond election held under the provisions of the charter. Upon the question of the validity of ths bond election held for the purpose of se- curing funds for the erection of school- houses and the construction of a new sewer system an dpinion by the entire court states that upon the authority of the decision in the park and panhandle case the judgment, as in the other case, is reversed and the cause remanded. The plaintiffs in both actions were reg- resented by Attorneys Arthur H. Barendt and Charles E. Naylor, and the city and county was represented by City Attorney Lane and Garret W. McEnerney. ‘.MW*H‘WW. PURCHASE OF BONDS AVERTS MONEY PRESSURE Statist Assigns a Reason for the Ac- tion of the Secretary of the Treasury. LONDON, April 4—The Statist will say next Saturday: The action of Mr. Gage, Secretary of the United States Treasury, in buying bonds was influenced by his de’ sire to prevent any acute pressure for money in New York at 2 time when the German loan was on the point of issue and when a British loan of £60,000,00 had to be financed. There is little doubt that were money in New York to become stringent it would have a very adverse effect upon the Brit- ish and German money markets, as it would mean that instead of further amounts of American money being em- ploved in London and Bertin and facilitat- ng the issue of loans, a portion of that already here to American credit might be called in. DEFEAT FOR GOVERNMENT IN DANISH ELECTIONS COPENHAGEN, April 4—The elections to the Folkething have resulted in a sweeping victory for the opposition and an overwhelming defeat for the Govern- ment, Of the 110 constituencies from which complete returns have been re- ceived the opposition, composed of the Leftists and Reformists, have carried 7, the Moderate Leftists 15, the Social Democrats 14, and the Rightists or Min- isterialists 8. The few seats that remain o doubtful or will call for second bal- ots. Araong those re-elected are Dr. Hoegs- bro, president of the Folkething. and Dr, Alberti, Attorney General. The defeated candidates include Dr. Krabbe, formerly president of the Folkething; Dr. Scha- venius, former Minister of Public Wor- ship; Minister of the Interior Bramsen, and Knudsen, the socialist leader. Of Copenhagen’s thirteen divisions only one returned a Conservative. ACUINALDD 1S INVITED T0 ANERICA May Be Paroled But Kept Under Close Sur[qill@_nce, Before Gaining Favor He Must Induce Insurgent Chiefs to Surrender. O G Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406.G STREET, N. V., WASHINGTON, April 3.—If Agui- naldo succeeds in bringing about the sur- render of General . Alejandrino and other insurgent - leaders he will be paroled, with the city of Manila as the limits of his liberty. Some officials of the War Department favor going even far- ther. They suggests that General Mac- Arthur’s dispatches show that Aguinaldo has been ill ajvised concerning America and the Ameri¢an Government, and that the interests of the-United States, as well as those of the Philippines, would be best served by bringing ‘him to the United States. ,'This suggestion has not beew adopted, however. The department is waiting to see Agui- naldo carry out the proposals he made, to which General MacArthur referred in his dispatch to the War Department yester- day, before modifying the instructions | sent on Saturday. These instructions re- | quire that the Kilipino leader be kept in confinement for the present and allowed communication with only those persons whose loyalty is unquestionable and with | others under the supervision of General MacArthur. . When given liberty Aguinaldo will be under thé surveillance of detectives, and if he should try to leave the city or vio- late his oath of allegiance he will be ar- rested and.tried by court-martial. Military authorities in Manila are sedu- lously keeping before Aguinaldo the pos- sibility that he will be tried for violation of the rules of war should he fail to act in accordance with the wishes of the Government. 8o the administration con- fidently expects that he will issue within a few days the manifesto to the Filipino people to_ which General MacArthur re- ferred in his dispatch of Saturday. Agul naldo is expected also to get into com- munication with insurgent leaders still in the field and urge them to surrender and acknowledge American supremacy. With the leaders disposed of, the disposal of | the remaining insurgents will not be diffi- | cult. The effect of Aguinaldo’s capture | continues to be shown by additional sur- renders of insurgents. INVESTIGATING THE FRAUDS. MacArthur Says Commissary Scan- dal Is Exaggerated. WASHINGTON, April 3.—The following{ cablegram < was, received to-day at the War Department from General Mac- Arthur at Manila: Brigadier General Robert P. Hughes reports the surrender at Banga, Northwest Panay, March 31, of 80 officers, 155 men, 105 rifles. General- Kobbe reports 21° men and 21 guns surrendered March 81 in°Northern Mindanao. Commissary” frauds being investigated; not sufficient graxity to cause concern; apparent- ly due to irregularity in sales of savings. Press reports ipexact and misleading. MACARTHUR. General: MacArthur's dispatch, as wéll | as ‘other_information received concerning | the frauds, leave considerable doubt as to | the cxact ¢huracter of these alleged pecy; lations, General MacArthur speaks 6f “sales.” These sales consist of savings by the soldlers on the regular ration is- | sued, which they are allowed to dlspase‘ of for their own benefit. Generally the | savings are made a company matter and | are disposed of in bulk to the highest bidder. They may be returned to the commissary department and bought in by the Government at cost prices, but there i8 no reason why they should not be sold elsewhere if the managers of the com- pany funds should so desire. As army rations do not pay the usual duty im- posed on similar goods used for private consumption, the soldiers -could make | quite a profit on their savings if they were of considerable amount. _Sales from commissary stores, not including the reg- ular ration, are made to officers and men, but cnly upon a certificate or declaration that they are for the personal use of the purchaser. It is said that no great amount of such sales could be used by | any person or persons without detection. Officers or men purchasing such stores and reselling them would be guilty of vios lating the army regulations and would be subject to court-martial. As to the other savings, there are upon the regular ra- tions issued to each company. They might be in flour, meat, sugar or any number of staple articles included in the ration. The money procured from the sale of such savings is usually devoted to the purchase of such supplies as are not included in the ration and many deli- cacles and varieties of food are thus’se- cured by the man in garrison or camp. AGUINALDO CONVERTED. Thinks Americans So Fair That He Desires to Visit Them. MANTLA, April 3.—Chief Justice Arel- lano, who administered to Aguinaldo the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, described to-day the in- cldents leading up to and atlending ihe ceremony, which was semi-private. Aguin- aldo, still detained in an_apartment of the Malacanan Palace and awaiting or- ders from Washington, had expressed himself as anxious to learn more regard- ing the American system of government, and had asked Chief Justice Areilano to enlighten him. The Chief Justice care- fully explained the various measures passed by the Philippine Commission and showed him what provisions were made for education and progress and for mu- nicipal and provincial self-government. Listening with deep Interest Aguinaldo finally exclaimed: ‘- “I never believed the Americans would be so fair and liberal.” Before the conversation had ended he had agreed to take the oath of allegiance, and this was immediately administered. Senor Arellano says: ““Aguinaldo’s action will induce all the insurgents to surrender, and I predict that the islands %ill be completely pacified by June. Aguinaldo is eager to visit the United States, but when I questioned him on the subject of holding office he replied that he had no desire in that direction and intended to retire to private life after a trip to America.” It is reported here this evening that President McKinley has invited Aguin- aldo_to visit the United States and that the former insurgent leader may sail from Manila April 15. General MacArthur, when_questioned regarding the —rumor, said he had absolutely nothing to com- municate. A P Ol PEACE EXPECTED IN JUNE. Aguinaldo Preparing Manifesto Call- ing Off the Struggle. MANTLA, April 3.—Aguinaldo is prepar- ing a manifesto calling an end to the war. The proclamation of peace is expected by June, but the matter is being kept quite secret by the authorities, who are await- ing further developments. ere is every inaication that Agui- naldo is sincere in the course he has adopted, although nitherto he has shown himself to be misguided and unscrupulous, bl SE Nl Many Sick Soldiers.

D e I T i e e ] RUINOUS SNOW WRECKS WIRES Property Worth Thousands of Dollars Damaged in Pittshurg. PITTSBURG, April 3.—Pittsburg was to- day the center of a snowstorm that began early in the morning and continued with great force until after noon, doing thou- sands of dollars’ worth of damage. It rendered practically useless for the time every electric light wire in the city, sus- pended all street car travel and in the early hours isolated the city from the out- side world. A heavy rain fell before the storm came and all reports from up-river golnts tell of rising streams which may ring about a flood here and below. The losses cannot be fixed to-night, but conservative estimates place the amount at between $250,000 and $300,000. Telegraph and telephone companies are the heaviest losers by reason of the fact that their lines reach évery part of the storm dis- trict. Early in the morning a heavy wet snow began falling. It clung to everything it touched and by 9 o'clock all the wires in the city were coated with snow. The trunk lines of the central district were the first to fall and most of the other troubles that followed are attributed to the failure of this service. On Ellsworth avenue, from Anderson avenue to Craig street, the wreck is complete, every pole being down. Cars Caught in the Snow. Five Consolidated cars were caught in this district and were held there until aft- er 9 o’clock to-night. Center avenue, from Pennsylvania avenue to Craig_street, is in almost as bad condition as Ellsworth. Forbes avenue, from Craft avenue to Craig street, and Grantstown avenue for a long distance are massed with poles and wires. These streets were blocked from 9 o'clock until 1:30 p. m. Not a car moved east of B: street. -Travel was resumed on the Fifth avenue line at 1:30, the other branches_following rapidly until all ex- cept the Ellsworth avenue lne were open by 5 p. m. The telephone company have a large force at work and say they will be in operation within a day or two. To- night, however, at least a half of their telephones are out of communication. Damage in Small Towns. The storm passed eastward and all of the suburban towns in that district suf- fered. _Wilkensburg, Braddock, Home- stead, Duquesne and McKeesport all re- port business at a standstill for a portion of the day. Allegheny escaped with comparatively little damage. A landslide at the head of Federal street, which brought tons of earth to the street, covering the car tracks to a depth of five feet, was the worst that happened there.

He made a practical success of hydraulic pumping on the Comstock after all other systems had failed. Mr. Mcore built the first hydraulic ele- vator or passenger holst and much other hydraulic machinery, and in_recognition of his work in this’ branch of mechanics the Royal Society of Engineers of Great Britain awarded him a special gold medal. He also built the first tangential di: charge waterwheel, from which afterwar was ‘evolved what is now Known as tlie Pelton wheel. He had an aversion to tak- ing out patents, He did, however, patent among other things a differential hydraulic valve gear which is used on all classes of hydraulic work as well as by the Crane & Otis Elevator Company, which bought it from Mr. Moore. Mr. Mcore leaves four sons and two daughters. In the education of his sons he adopted a_different course than is usual. They were first made to learn a trade and subsequently sent to the Uni- versity of California. The eldest son, Andrew, is and has been for years man- ager of the Paauhau plantation in Ha- wail, and the youngest son, Joseph, Is a sistant superintendent. The second son, Robert, is manager of the Risdon Iron Works' of this city, and the third son, Ralph, is manager of the Spreckels sugar refinery at the Potrero. Mr. Moore leaves a large fortune, consisting mainly of busi- countered in the mountains snow to the depth of twelve to fifteen inches, which was so wet and clinging that snewplows could not clear the tracks.

Spectal Dispatch to The Cail CALL BUREAU, 1 G STREET. N. W., WASHINGTON, April 3.—Colombia has demanded of the United States th recognition of the principle of neutralit in the agreement she hopes to reach with this count: contemplating its completic of the Panama canal.
