THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, JANÜART 20, 1904

States are much interested In the new yale
adopted In this district for their contracts
end on April 1 an hence if an Increase is
SMtsred In the competitive fields, they profit
so much th" quicker.
While none but those In official positions
know what action the convention will take
on the question of a new wage scale, it is
understood from statements made by mem
Mrs of the competitive districts that the
convention will formulate a new scale em
bodying an increase of 1, per cent, over the
old rale, a decrease in the differential and
tho abolition of screen mining. In place
of the screen mining, the run-of-mlne basis
will be adopted. This method provides
that the coal Is weighed as it is mined
by the mln.rs and is a guard against the
operators cheating the miners In the
amount of coal turned out. By screening
much of the coal dug by a miner Is lost,
as far as he is concerned, for he is not
paid for It. In cases wh'To the screens
are allowed to becme old. much coal slips
through and the miner is a grat loser.
At present the regular scale wage is 90
cents a ton on pick mining and 53 cents a
ton on machine mining, but it Is understood
that each of the competitive States will
make recommendations to the scale com
mittee that the n w scale be $1 on pick
mining, with a varied decrease in the dif
ferential, which will mean a larger Increase
In the machine mining than in the pick
mining A member of the national board
and a delegate from District 5. of Pennsyl
vania, said yesterdiiv that District 5 had
come to the convention to tight for an
increase of 10 cents on the ton and a de
crease In differential. His district, he said,
has nothing to gain by the adoption of
the ruix-of-mlne basis, for the reason that
It had been declared unconstitutional in
that State. The fehlt OOBBSfllttt of District
was appointed at a r r.t convention In
Pennsylvania, as was the scale committee
of tho Ohio district at its convention last
week. Delegates from Ohio refused to stato
the figures of the new demands further
than Soy are going ltd ask for an Increase
over the old scale on both pick and ma
chine mining and d-mand the run-of-mine
basis.
ILLINOIS COMMITTEE.
A meeting of the delegates from the Illi
nois district, almosl M strong, was held
In Tomllnson Hall yesterday afternoon, at
which they appointed their scale committee
to represent their d mands. Illinois will
ask for an Increase with the remainder of
the competitive States. One of tho dele
gates said that they hoped to get the 10
Cont Increase If possible, but that in any
vent they would stand for the run-of-mlne
basis. The scale committee appointed
by Illinois comprises H. C. Perry. A. But
tle. Robert Osborn. of Scale District 1;
J. H. Walker and J. D. Davis, of Scale Dis
trict 2; Joe Hurget and J. Parsons, of
Scale District 2J David Maloy and William

The State of Kentucky, which borders on
the competitive fleidn. Is resting on its
oars, awaiting the adjustment of the new
wage scale, one of th- del. gates from that
State said yesterday: "We cannot tell
what we will do about a new wage scale
until the competitive scale is set. If it
Erovides for an Increase, wo likewise will
hsk for one when ire onu t renew our
yearly contracts with the oierators."

AN UPRISING IS FEARED
Reply of Russia Said to Be Un
satisfactory Views of Vice
roy Alexieff.
SEOUL, Jan. 19 Russia complains that
Korean soldiers are causing trouhle. Korea
answers that Russia must not Interfere. The
tension In Seoul is increasing, and the na
tive press, which probably is Inspired, is
more bitter against foreigners than former
ly. The Emperor's trusted advisers have a
daily council. The Russian and English le
gations have Increased their guards by six
teen. The Japaner. are buying and storing
much rice in northern Korea. The ginseng
trade la dead. The Korean general Ythak
Kiun, whose sympathies are pro-Russian,
has made a veiled threat against foreigners.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19. -The only ad
vices received at the State Department
from the fHr East came from Minister
Allen nt Seoul. He reports that Korea Is in
a panicky condition, and there is apprehen
sion of a riotous outbreak at any moment.
The intimation Is conveyed that Interested
forden emissaries are at the bottom of
these disturbances, the result of which may
he to afford sin excuse for Intervention and
the placing of large forces in Korea, thus
precipitating a hostile collision between
Russia and Japan. It Is understood that
tho matter of re-enforcing the United Stales
legation guard at Seoul will be left to the
mutual arrangement of Mr. Allen and Rear
Admiral Evans.
ADMIRAL ALEXIEFF TALKS
HOPEFULLY OF PEACE
LONDON, Jan. 20 The Port Arthur cor
respondent of the Daily Mail cables that
he has had an interview with Admiral Al
exieff, the Russian viceroy In the far East,
who spoke hopefully of the possibility of
arranging a modus vivendi with Japan. The
viceroy then referred the correspondent to
his diplomatic agent, M. Flancon, who em
phasized tho Impossibility of Russia's
evacuation of Manchuria, and said: "Or
ders were given some months ago to evac
uate New Chwang and Manchuria provided
the Chinese would agree to simple terms,
but owing to the Intrigues of the Japanese
minister with the Wal We Pu (Chinese for
eign board) these orders were counter
manded." M. Plancon declured that the action of
the United States In making a commercial
treaty with China without Russia's con
sent under the existing circumstances, was
unfriendly and undiplomatic. Russia, he
said, would not open or allow consuls at
Mukden and Antung under the present
regime. If Japan wanted Korea. Russia,
M. Plancon said, would not interfere, pro
vl led other powers allowed it. and he add
ed f "Russia did not ask Japan's consent
to occupy Manchuria, neither was It neces
sary for Japan to seek Russia's permis
sion to establish a protectorate in Korea."
M. Plancon concluded by saying that the
United States and other nations were more
interested in the situation than was Rus
sia. The correspondent adds that the action of
the United States government htwl quite
upset Viceroy Alexli ft" - calculations.
RUSSIA'S REPLY MAY
NOT BE SATISFACTORY
LONDON. Jan. 19 A dispatch to Renter's
Telegram Company from Tokio says the
Russian reply Is expected shortly, and that
It is believed it will make some conces
sions, but It Is doubted whether these will
be sufficiently far-reaching.
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 19. It is con
firmed from a Japanese source that Russia,
in notifying Japan of her recognition of
treaty rights in Manchuria, expressly ex
cepts the privileges of foreign settlements,
and it is further said that the United States
had been informed that Japan was disposed
to contest this point, which It considered
vital In the erertise of tradu privileges.
All the newspapers to-day publish edi
torials on the mediation suggestion and de
clare such a step Is unnecessary. The press
generally admits with some Irritation that
n ireat vlet ry has been won by American
diplomacy in Manchuria.
LONDON. Jan. 20. The Peking corre
spondent of the Times declares in a dis
patcn that Japan's latest note is stronger
In to than the preceding one and that
she will neither yield her moderate stand
point nor accept the mediation of a third
power. Not only to the Japanese, but to
the American and British ministers, the
correspondent continues, has China given
satisfactory assurances of her Intention to
maintain strict neutrality In accordance
with Lord Lansduwnc's advice.
RUSSIA RETREATING

patch from Tokio the correspondent there of
the Dally Mail says he has learned that Mr.
Kurlno. Japanese minister at St. Peters
burg, has sent In a confidential report In
which he says that a recent secret meeting
of the Russian grand dukes and the min
isters War Minister Kuropatkin and some
of his colleagues declared in favor of peace.
The Port Arthur correspondent of the
Ially Mall declares In a dispatch that
eleven Russian battalions of infantry, to

The authorities here state definitely that
Russia has no Intention or desire to Inter
fere in Korea, even should Japan continue
to land small bodies of troops there In con
travention of the existing treaties, as the
Russians assert the Japanese are doing,
under the pretext that they are only rail

BLOOD EXPERTS AT THE
BECHTEL MURDER TRIAL
Effort to Trove Mother of the
Dead Girl Was an Accessory
After the Fact.
TESTIMONY OF DOCTORS
AXjUENTOWN, Pa., Jan. 19. After hav
ing examined forty witnesses in Its en
deavor to prove that Mrs. Catharine Bech
teJ was guilty of being an accessory after
the fact in the murder cf her daughter
Mabel last October, the Commonwealth
closed its case at 7 o'clock this evening. Dr.
John Lear, professor of biology at Muhlen
burg College, who testified yesterday that
the stains on articles taken from the Bech
tel home were mad by human blood, was
again on the witness stand to-day. Coun
sel for tho defendant tried to discredit the
biological or Bordet test of determining
human blood which Dr. Lear had em
ployed, but the cross-examination failed to
shake tho direct testimony of the wit
ness. Dr. John Eckert, of this city, who assist
ed Dr. Lear In his tests, wns called to the
stand. The defense objected to Dr. Eckert
t ufylng as an expert on the ground of
youth and Inexperience, but the court over
ruled the objection, stating that. Inasmuch
ns the test was new, there could be no ex
perience of long standing. Dr. Eckert cor
robciatef Dr. Lear's statements and con
clusions regarding blood tests, and declared
all the stains In question to have been
made lv human blood.
I u YV. D. Pennlman of Johns Hopkins
University, an expert on blood, who was in
the city on private business, was subpoen
aed by the commonwealth. When sum
moned to the witness stand he said he did
not care to testify, and especially not as
an expert, unless compensated as such.
The court ruled that as he had been sub
poenaed, he must testify, leaving th
question of compensation open for later de
termination. Dr. Penniman declared the
biological or Bordet test to show the differ
ence between human and animal blood to
be very reliable. The Bordet test, he
said, is abFolute in its conclusions.
Dr. W. W. Eshbach, of this city, who
was present when the blood tests were
made by Dr. Lear, confirmed the latter's
conclusions that the stains on the articles
exhibited were made by human blood and
Dr. C. D. Shaeffer, surgeon In chief at the
Alleniown Hospital, the last witness to
testify, regarded Dr. Lear's tests as re
liable. The cases against three of Mrs. Bechtel's
children. John, Charles and Myrtha. who
are also charged with being accessories
after the fact, were continued to-day Until
the April term of court. Their ball was
renewed.
ffllTHEl WRIGHT TELLS
ABOUT HISJUG
Indicted Promoter on the Witness
Stand at London in Own
Behalf.
LONDON, Jan. 19. There was consider
able crush In court and a buzz of anticipa
tion when Whitaker Wright, the company
promoter, on trial on the charge of fraud,
entered the witness box to-day. The for
mer financier was composed and answered
questions firmly. He first related the story
of his life in America, and then told of
the foundation of the London and Globe
Corporation, which, he declared, was pros
perous until the end of 1899, after the South
African war had started, when matters be
came disastrous. The witness added that
he assisted the company out of his private
pocket, lending It between $2.000,000 and
$2,500.000. Previous to this he had prepared
a settlement of $1.500,000 on his family, giv
ing $500,000 to each of his children, but one
day in 1S99 the company's accountant In
formed him that he must have $1,500,000 or
the company would be obliged to suspend.
The witness said he supplied the money,
and consequently the settlement on his
family was never carried out.
Wright admitted that he owned 2,500
shares of the London and Globe Corpora
tion at the time of the crash and said he
tried to Induce the late Lord Dufferln to re
sign his directorship because the newspa
pers attacked him over Lord Dufferin's
shoulders. The witness had intimated to
Lord Dufferln that the position of chair
man of a speculative company was not dig
nified, but Lord Dufferln replied that he
was well satisfied and that he wished to
retain the position.
Wright was cross-examined concerning
his departure for the United States. He
said at the time he felt Justified in leaving,
in view of what had been said in Parlia
ment. He admitted that while managing
director of the company he would sell to
himself as managing director of another.
Questioned on the subject of various Items
in the balance sheet of 1891), he asserted that
the sheet was "straight as a die." He
would never admit anything wrong there

ST. PETERSBURG. Jnn. 19.-The Czar
made his fir6t public appearance this season
at to-day's solemn ceremony of blessing the
waters. In the orthodox church this rite
Is commemorative of the baptism of the
Snvlor. It took place in an open chapel,
built out on a quay, extending far from th
winter palace. It was preceded by a re
ligious service within the palace, which was
attended by the imperial family, with the
exception of the Czarina, whose condition
was such as to prevent her being present,
and the court officials, nobility and repre
sentatives of the foreign powers. The lat
ter drove to the palace In great state, with
outriders, wearing the traditional hunting
knives, belts, caps and streaming plumes
of the national colors.
The scene outside the chapel was ex
tremely Impressive. The thermometer regis
tered below xero. and the atmosphere an
clear. In the background was the sprawl
ing, pink city, snow-mantled, over which
the gilded domes of the churches hung like
golden bubbles blown against a blue sky.
In front waa the broad, froxen Neva, the
banks and bridges massed with humanity.
Along the quay the people were held back
by a troop of mounted gendarmes. The
bare-headed procession moved through dou
ble lines of imperial Infantry and a sailor
guard from the palace to the chapel, with
the cross and gospel held aloft, preceded
by the metropolitan and higher clergy, in
gold-embroidered vestments, with church
banners, and followed by the scarlet
gowned court choir, the chamberlains and
other court officiate.
GORGEOUS DISPLAY.
Then came the officers of crack regiments,
without their overcoats, thus permitting a
gorgeous disrlay of uniforms, bearing the
battle flags of the empire. Next was the
magnificent chevalier guard, in white tunics
with gold cuirassiers and double-eugled hel
mets, hussars and red lancers, with sable
tipped headgear and crimson facings.
The grand dukes Immediately preceded
the Czar, who carried himself easily. He
wore a simple uniform, that of the famous
Preobrajensky Regiment, the cross of St.
Andrew glittering on his breast. This was
his only decoration. The Cxar, who held
his helmet in his hand, looked strong and
well.
A rocket streaming tip from the middle of
the river signaled his Majesty's appearance,
which was greeted with a salvo of artillery
of 101 guns from the fortress of SS. Peter
and Paul, punctuated with the simultaneous
chiming cf bells throughout the city.
When the Czar had taken up his position
in the chapel and the ice below had been
broken, the metropolitan blessed the shad
owy waters and the cross was dipped thrice
therein.
The diplomatic corps and the ladies of the
court witnessed the brief ceremony from
the window of the palace. United States
Ambassador McCormick and Mrs. McOr
mick, Secretary Eddy, of the embassy, Na
val Attache Smith and the Japanese minis
ter, M. Kurlno, wer among those present.
When the rite was finished thousands of
people swarmed across the ice and dipped
up water with which to sanctify their
homes.
Similar ceremonies were observed
throughout Russia.
The diplomats, exchanging views at the
palace, unanimously agreed that the Russo
Japanese situution has much improved.
