Cases that do Not Come Under the Term '‘Discrimination." Pottsvii.le, Pa., Feb. 22.—Once more the threatening cloud has lifted and all danger of a renewal of the miner’s strike is for the present dispelled. The conference of National Master Workman Lewis and the Joint committee continued until this evening; the ground of alleged discrimina tions against certain of the late strikers being* thoroughly und care fully gone over. It was developed that practically all the alleged ‘‘victims” consist of two classes, namely, colliery* en gineers, who, while remaining on duty and drawing regular, pay while their collieries were idle owing to tiio sirike, refused when non-union miners were put to work to hoist coal cut by “scabs” and were discharged for disobedience of orders, and miners whose places were taken by others during the strike, and who could not tie reinstated upon resumption without discharging those who succeeded them. But one or two cases outside these classes appeared, and they were those of pumping engineers, who, together with the whole body of such employes, had iieen excepted from the order to quit work in or der to prevent the destruction or damage of collieries, but who, upon the collieries being started with non-union miners, had refused to run the pumps and had been discharged for disobedience of orders. It was decided that none of these classes of cases come within the term “discrimination” as con templated by the Corbin Lewis agreement, and the result of the conference was a de cision not to rescind the order of resumption and the adoption of the following resolu tion: Whereas, W. T I/Owls, Master Workman Of National District Assembly No. 13.‘i, has seen (it to issue an order to the employes of the Phila delphia amt Reading Coal and Iron Company to resume work as per agreement made Friday, Feb. !7,1888; and V\ tiKH i:as. We recognize that in W. T. Lewis is properly vested the power to issue the said order; therefore, Kcsolveil, That the members of the joint com mittee representing Divisions 12 and 14 of the Nat,toual L). A. 1 '..’J and I). A. NT, do now indorse the action of W. T. Lewis, and request the em ployes of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, who have not yet reported for duty to do so ut once, and we also request said employes of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company to hold themselves iu readiness to comply with an order to close work at any time should the above company re fuse to comply with the spirit and letter of the agreement made with W. T. Lewis. During the session of tlio joint committee Master Workman Lewis hud a conference with General Superintendent Whiting at Ills office, as the result of which it was un derstood that tiie discharged engineers will not again be given engines, but several col liery foremen have authority* in their dis cretion to employ them in other capacities, and the understanding is that this will he done as promptly* as convenient, and that sup'rseded miners will also lie provided for at the earliest opportunity*. The wages question was also discussed, but no definite action was taken. Arrangements were made for a confer oiu-e upon the-abject with General (Super intendent Whiting on Saturday* next, when it is expected some satisfactory un derstanding will Is- leached. COTTON FIRES.

Every Reason to Distrust Salisbury— Ho is Willing' to Drag England Into War to Save His Irish Policy From Criticism-Russia Still Refrains From Direct Negotiations With Austria. London, Feb. 33. —The House of Com mons to-day negatived an amendment to the address in reply to the Queen’s speech, promising the creation of a tribunal on ju dicial rents in Scotland. The motion to vote the address was then approved, after which, on a motion that the report on the address be adopted, Mr. Labouchere moved to insert in the report a request that the House be informed whether the correspond ence with the Italian government bound the government to intervene in event of a war between France and Italy. He advised Lord Salisbury to take the country into his confidence, as Bismarck has done. England had every reason to distrust Salisbury, who was willing to drag the country into war in order t ■ sa,ve his policy towards Ireland from criticism. SALISBURY’S HATRED OF FRANCE. The foreign policy of Salisbury was ha tred toward Franco [cries of “no.’’] and jealousy toward Russia. The reason he hated France was obvious. It was a re public progressing ami prosfierous, with out aristocrats, without royalties and with out hereditary ruling families directing the affairs of state. Parliament r ust watch a Minister so biased, and refuse to assent to his mingling in Continental matters, relat ing eitiier to territorial and dynastic settle ment, even if made in concert with Eu roiie. Sir James Ferguson, Uunder Foreign Secretary, said he could not understand Labouchere's purpose 'll making these state ments, which were most mischievous in their tendency and most reckless in their particularity. [Cheers.] No responsible statesman ot France would attribute such a policy to Lord Salisbury ["Hear, hear”], least of all those French statesmen who had had dealings with Lord Salisbury during his conduct of the foreign affairs of England. The government would not lay confidential correspondence before the House, but Sir James could reassure the House that no engagement had been en tered into with Italy, or any other power that was not known to Parliament. He hoped the danger to the peace of Europe was not greater, perhaps it was less, than a year ago. He relied upon the House to meet the motion with a simple negative. MR. GLADSTONE’S SATISFACTION. Mr. Gladstone said he heard with extreme satisfaction Sir James Ferguson’s assur ance that the government had conducted a policy of harmony with France. He was content with the declaration just obtained of the government's policy. Ho was confi dent that no disposition existed on the Lib eral side to press for undue disclosures. [Cheers.] He believed that the course taken by Lord Salis bury had been sometimes eutirely in accordance with sound principles for regulating the foreign policy of England. He earnestly hoped that whatever happened in Europe, unity of sentiment of all parties on the foreign policy would be attained, thus doubling the moral force of England anil immensely increasing her power when constrained to interfere. [Cheers.] W. H. Smith congratulated the House on the tone of Mr. Gladstone’s remarks. It was worthy of the ancient reputation of the House, and the responsibilities attaching to the statesman who had occupied a high po sition under the government. There had always been cordial relations with France, and there was not the slightest ground for suspicion that anything had been done to trench upon existing harmony. [Cheers.] The amendment was withdrawn. CALNOKY RETURNS TO VIENNA. Count Kalnoky has returned to Vienna from Pesth, where he had an interview with the Emperor Frincis Joseph and Count Andrassey. Russia still refrains from direct negotiations with Austria. Kalnoky re sponds through Bismarck. Austria makes he ■ adhesion to the proposed collective note regarding Ferdinand dependent upon further explanations from Russia. To See the Presses.
