Announcement was made from Oreensburg to-night that the scale had teen granted by the operators of 15 mines in Westmoreland county. In the Pittsburg, district there has been little or no change in the past 24 hours. While the scale agreement expired last night at midnight, there have been no steps taken that would indicate a general suspension of work. To-morrow is a holiday, being Mitch ell Day, the1" anniversary of the granting of the eight-hour day to the miners, and all mines will be closed. On Tuesday, however, matters are ex pected to reach a climax. The dis trict convention' scale committee will have in readiness the new scale and then. lt Is expected that most of the operators will sign. This will be more of a formal granting of the advance.

The newspapers are filled with appeals to the voters. LIKELY TO DOWN FUSIONlSTS. The strength of the Constitutional Democrats has compelled the Moder ates and Conservatives to pool Issues, and th-5 Octoberlsts and Progressive Economists, and the Law and Order and Trade and Industries parties have put In the field a "block" ticket Nevertheless, the Constitutional Dem ocrats claim a certain and sweeping victory, and the Indications are that they will carry the day. They enjoy the advantage of playing their' cards above board, having openly an nounced that their; delegates ai e pledged to vote for six of the fol lowing nine candidates for Parlla-. ment: M. Kedrine ,the well-known lawyer; M. Roditcheff, a member ofj the executive committee of the Bar I Association; . M. Petrunkevitch, a brother of Ivan Petrunk-svltch, tint Zemtvolst of Tver; M. Naboukofr, leader of the Liberal party; M. Hes sen, editor of Rech; M. Vlnever, M. Petrollvsky, M. Federoff and M Kaarielf. The "block," on the con trary, are carefully concealing the names of their parliamentary candi dates and are contenting themselves with tho publication of a .list of their 160 candidates to the municipal con gress. It Is evident .they fear that if the names are revealed the radi cals will concentrate to defeat them by rallying to the cry of "Block." REACTIONARIES LYING LOW. "Tha Emperor and the Liberty and Integrity of Russia Party," a so-called party of" democratic reforms, has thrown - In its lot with the Constitu tional Democrats. The reactionaries, realizing that it Is too dangerous to be -divided in- strength, -have not placed a ticket In the flelld and will vote for the "block." With the exception of The Novos Vremya and The Slovo, which aro supporting. the '-'blook," all the news papers have declared for the Con stitutional Democrats. The Novoo Vremya viciously attacks the parlia mentary candidates of the Constitu tional Democrats, characterising them as "renegades," "Jews" and "Poles." The city of St. Petersburg Is di vided into twelve districts, each with a single polling place, which elects from five to 20 delegates. Tbe polls will be open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m.

Though it Isv Realised That France's Assimilation of Morocco Has RmvIimI Remote Postpone ment France's Desire to Have Control of Police Partially Realised Neither Able to fwtlra a Victory. Paris. Anrii l. Foreign' Minister Bourgeois, at an early date will ad dress the Chamber of Deputies, Set tins; forth the srovernment's view as to the result of the conference on Mor occan reforms at Algeclras. .. The agreement is hailed with sat isfaction by officials and by the pub lic press, which was weary of the pro-, longed controversy and the disturbing possibilities of war. The view in of ficial quarters is that France secures a fair degree of success on the principal- question relating' to the police and State Bank. However, it is rec ognized that neither France nor Ger many has secured all that was want ed. France's desire to have control of the police was partially realised In her being allowed to police the Im portant Atlantic ports, including Mo gador, which Germany was suspected of coveting; and also," with her ally, Spain, to police Tangier and Casba lanca. On the otfler hand. It is thought that Germany's desire to internation alize Morocco was partly realized, as the French-Spanish policy Is subordi nated to an Inspector who will report to the diplomatic corps. Thus both countries in a measure were success ful, but each is so safeguarded that neither will be able to claim a vic tory. France's pacific penetration of Morocco It is thought Is remotely post poned, as It Is likewise to the cream of the vast northwest African empire. Aside from the details of . the great achievement, the officials consider that the agreement between France and Germany assures the preservation of the peace of Europe. LAWLESSNESS AT IUGH POINT. Effort Made to Enter Bed Room of W. L. Stanley, The Observer's Cor respondentIntended Victim Fires at Intruders Several Persons Re ceive Anonymous letters. Special to- The Observer. High Point, April 1. Friday night the watchman at the Dalton Furniture Company was visited by a gang of masked men and beaten and cut, the gang warning this individual to "clean out." Anonymous letters have also been received by different people, one or two of whom have been victims at tho hands of these unknown persons. This morning at 1 o'clock the home of your correspondent, W. L. Stamey, on East Washington street, was vis ited by a gang, It is believed, the mo tive from all indications being to do him bodily harm. A window in the bed chamber was entered, the blinds opened and a sash smashed. The first intimation I ia& of the' attack "was some one talking In a low tone while I was Just awakening. Almost at tho same, moment the window pane was broken and a man was seen In the window. Grappling a pistol and get ting iny bearings while In a sleepy stupor, I fired a shot at an object 1 thought was a man who was crossing the street a hundred yards away at the time. Two other shots were fired in quick succession but all three no doubt went wild of the mark, as the object sought after had gotten too far away. While In the window the man's arms were raised as In a striking at titude, while his faco was hid by the curtains or shade. Chief of Police Gray, who was on the streets, with two other citizens, heard the shots und hastened at once to the rescue. This officer saw a man fleeing through (.tUene living close by heard some one ii n o i isaxr anaiid nr TfifTn. wniu in iiht runnlnir by In an opposite direction at a rapid rate of speed. The deed was one of the boldest, be ing attempted almost directly under an electric light, and one of the mean est, as siny wife and child were also In Imminent danger for the time be ing. It is ajmost certain that a watch er was oat and kept the Intruder or intruders Informed of any move ment on the streets. Believing that a clue can be gotten that will probably lead to arrest and conviction I offer $100 for Information that will convict one or more of the guilty parties. With the exception of the house breaking referred to above everything ns far as known passed off peacefully last night. $60,000000 BY MEXICAN LINES.

Saturday Afternoon at White House Unacceptable to Measure's Sponsor Because it Lacks Provision Against .Suspension of Order Pending Ap peal Will Oppose the Amendment on Senate Floor and Thinks Not Half a Dozen Democrats Will Sup port itSenator Kpooner at White House. . Washington, April l.-Senator Tillman, who- has charge of the railway rate bill in the Senate, said to-night that he was not satisfied with the court review amendment to the measure which was agreed on yesterday at a conference be tween President Roosevelt, several Re publican Senators who are supporting the bill and members of the inter-State com mercfe" commission. The Senator said h would oppose U on the floor of the Senate and he expressed the opinion that not half a doxen of his Democratic colleagues would support the amendment. Senator Tillman declared that th amendment does not meet .the situation fully. Inasmuch as it makes no provision setting forth specifically that there shall be no suspension of the railway rate fix ed by the Inter-State commerce commis sion pending the judicial determination of any case which may be appealed from the rate Reestablished. It Is a contention which Senator Tillman and a number of the Democratic Senators 'have urged, a tbey urgue that a failure to provide ab solutely against a suspension of the rat operates to nullify the objects for which the legislation is desired. 'The Senato added that he would prefer to vote fc the House bill as it stood, then to ac cept the amendment, for the pending measure gave the right of view where constitutional questions are involved. The proposed amendment was discussed generally to-day among groups of Demo crtlc Senators, but there was no confer ence on the subject among them. Senator Spooner was at the White House to-night in conference with Pres ident Roosevelt, presumably on matters connected with the rate legislation. ALTO KILLS WOMAN AND FLEES.
