The agreement of settlement. If the rumor be true, is yet In an embryonic state and will likely not develop for some time.

O'Malley, of This City. .Harrlsburg, May 23.—With the election of one Democratic candidate for Superior Court Judge assured by reason of the law which permits the elector to vote for only three candidates for that office, when four are to be elected, the Democratic State convention, which will be held In this city tomorrow, opening at 12 o'clock in the Lyceum theater, will be an unusually Interesting gathering. Twenty-five years ago yesterday Right Reverend M. J. Hoban was ordained to the Roman Catholic priesthood in the celebrated Cathedral of St. Lateran, Rome, by Cardinal Monace La Valetta, and in honor of the 25th anniversary of this event a grand celebration has been in progress in Scranton for the past few days. Last Sunday, the young ladies of Mount St. Mary's Seminary, In Scranton, paid their respects to the Bishop and last evening commenced the celebration by the laity. Today the priests of the diocese convened to honor the noted prelate and to congratulate him on the anniversary of his ordination. A solemn pontifical mass was sung In St. Peter's Cathedral at 10 o'clock this morning. Bishop Hoban was the celebrant and the officers of the mass London, May 23.—Amid uproar unprecedented in the annals of parlia- New York, May 23.—On the ground that the expeditions to be made this summer under the auspices of American universities and scientific societies to view the eclipse of the sun on Aug. 30 are for the purpose of advancing knowledge, Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has issued a special ruling to help the observers.

Balfour, aud the Irish members on the floor yelling "Police! Police!" the speaker, after he had exhausted eyery effort to quell the turbulence, peremptorily adjourned the house of commons last night under a new rule, enforced for the first time, empowering him to take such action in cases of grave disorder. CLERGY VISIT MAYOR. IMPORTANT DECISIONS One of the first questions to be decided by the convention Is whether one or three candidates shall be named for Superior Court Judge. National committeemen Guffey and other party leaders favor the nomination of but one candidate and It is thought the convention wHl follow their wishes. Unique Spectacle Seen Philadelphia. W. W. Campbell, director of the Lick observatory, recently sent a communication to Secretary Shaw asking that permission be given to the collector of this port to examine and document a large lynouut of scientific apparatus to be used in observing the eclipse. Under the auspices of the Lick observatory three expeditions are to lDe made to parts of the world where the eclipse will be total—namely, to a point near Cortwriglit, Labrador, to northeastern Spain and to a point near Assuan, Egypt. Supreme Court Rulings on TESTS MADE AT NO. 7 Coal Leases. The trouble was caused by the refusal of the premier to personally answer the charge brought by Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermau, leader of the Liberal party, that he (Mr. Balfour) bad violated the pledge in his Edinburgh speech that the government would not deal with the tariff question without first appealing to the country. John B. Head, of Greensburg, is regarded as the most likely aspirant for judge because of his long personal and political relations with Col. Guffey. Judge Doty, of Greensburg, for whom the Westmoreland County delegates have been instructed, has withdrawn. This assures Mr. Head of the support of the solid delegation from that county.

New Gas Lease,* and Prom- aiv That the Coal Companies ising Action Within The Safety Catches Held the Cages Will Have to Pay More a Few Days. When Tlioy Were Dropped Both Out in Royalties. Philadelphia witnessed an unusual spectacle yesterday, when more than 100 ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church solemnly marched to City Hall to express to Mayor Weaver their protest against the pending gas lease and to congratulate him on the stand he has upon the question. at the Top and at tlie Bottom, Capt. John B. ICeenan and other prominent Westmoreland County Democrats, are here directing the canvass of Mr. Head, who has not yet decided whether he shall come to Harrlsburg for the convention. Senator Arthur O. Dewalt, of Allentown, and Robert W. Irwin, of -Washington, both of whom are candidates for the judgshiju nomination, are here. Two decisions that will have an important bearing on coal leases were handed down yesterday In Philadelphia by the Supreme Court. The opinions were in the cases in which Hoyt et. al. and E. Oscar Myers et. al. were the plaintiffs and the Kingston Coal Co. and the Consumers' Coal Co. et. al, the defendants. The suits were the result of the large increase In the smaller sizes of coal that coal companies have manufactured during the past decade. Under the old coal leases the companies were seldom if ever compelled to pay for any coal After the adjournment the Liberal leaders held a conference, the outcome of which, it is said, was a decision to have Sir Henry Campbell-Banuerman move a vote of censure on the premier when the house reassembles tonight. Charged Breach of Faith, Necessaries to Be Taken. and the Bottom Tests Included in the apparatus to be taken out are lenses, prisms, mirrors, telescopes, clocks, photograph apparatus aud materials, tents, mechanics' tools and other necessaries. Some of this apparatus is to be taken from the United States naval observatory at Washington, some from Harvard university and some from Princeton. Were Made Willie Cages Moved, The safety catches on the two cages in No. 7 shaft, of the Pennsylvania Coal Co., were officially tested last evening in the presence of Mine Inspector McDonald, who said at the close that the tests were the most satisfactory of the serle* thus far conducted by him. Besides Inspector Mc- Donald, there were present District Superintendent Henry T. MacMillan, Mine Foreman John S. Thompson, and several other officials of the company. The safety catches were first tested at the top of the shaft, where the ordinary test of dropping the cage while It was stationary was used. The cages were loaded for the test at the top w'lth a truck and old iron, weighing altogether about 1,540 pounds. Under these conditions -the catches worked perfectly, catching and holding the cages in a drop of three-quarters of an Inch. Afterward the cages were tested at the bottom of the shaft, where a weight of 500 pounds wan placed on them. The test at the bottom was an exceptionally hard one, the cages being permitted to drop while they were being lowered ahd again while they were being hoisted. Under these conditions the cages were caught by the safety catches after they had dropped one and one-half inches. The Opposition leader's charge of breach of faith against Mr. Balfour and motion to adjourn to discuss the subject followed the statement by the premier, in reply to questions, that he did not consider himself pledged to Inaction in regard to colonial tariff preference except so far as parliamentary action was concerned, but that the government did not intend to deal with the fiscal question In the present parliament. The matter of colonial preference might, he added, be submitted to a colonial conference In lSWti, even though the country had not previously had an opportunity of expressing an opinion. 011 the subject. The decision of ttuf conference, however, would not be binding (either on the mother country or oil the colonies without legislative actiou. TheC ministers assembled at the Methodist Book Koom at 2:30 p. m., and prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. Garbutt Heed, president of the association, in which he asked that the city be delivered from harm and injury and from evil designs of evil men. The march to City Hall was then begun. other candidates for this office are Representative R. Scott Ammerman, of Danville; Ex-Judge Calvin Rayburn, of Kittanning and John A. Ward, of Philadelphia; Judge Peter P. Smith, of Scranton, the present minority reptresentative on the Superior C6urt bench. H. O. Bechtel, of Pottsville, and O. B. Dickinson, of Chester, are also candidates. The director said that he would ship some of this late in May, and two expeditions will start on July 0 from this port. He asked also that upon the return of the expeditions the instruments might be shipped in bond direct to various destinations, because an examination in New York, oil account of the unpacking and repacking, would involve great danger to the sensitive apparatus.The Cathedral choir, under the leadership of Prof. John T. Watkins, sang Haydn's Imperial mass. Bauer's orchestra of 16 pieces formed the instrumental accompaniment. The Cathedral was crowded to the doors with a congregation that represented nearly every portion of the diocese. Seated within the sanctuary was nearly every priest under the jurisdiction of the Bishop. Among the visitors were Rev. John Nedel, of Hoston, Mass., Austin O'Malley and Dr. Charles O'Malley, of Philadelphia. Austin O'Malley was one of the acolytes at the Bishop's first mass in Rome. that would pass through a screen of less than five-eighths of an inch mesh. Of late years there has been a big demand for buckwheat and rice coal, all the manufacturing establishments using these sizes in making steam. The mayor, in replying, among other things said: "I have already stated what I think of the gas lease. Within twenty-four hours after the passage of that bill by the two branches of council I made up my mind what I would do. No living soul knows what 1 propose to do except myself, and I might say to you now that I shall carry out my purpose to the end. Your meeting has not changed my views. I had but one view, and that was if I could help it the gas lease as proposed should never be foisted on the city of Philadelphia. As to the methods that I have myself worked out to prevent this, that Is something that will develop within the next few days. But I say to you, as I said before, that I will use the utmost of my power to prevent what I believe is the greatest iniquity upon the cfty.of Philadelphia: John B. Denny, of Johnstown, chairman of the Cambria County Democratic County committee, seems to be the only avowed candidate for State Treasurer. Superior Court Judge and treasurer are the only offices for which nominations will be made by the convention and it Is thought there will be no contest for treasurer. Should Mr. Head be nominated for judge an eastern man may be nominated for treasure1*. » It is estimated that almost onefourth of the coal now turned out by the breakers is of sizes that would pass through a screen of less than five-eighths of an inch In mesh. When the old leases were made only about one-tenth of the coal produced was of the size of rice and buckwheat andthe large Increase in the amount has occasioned a number of suits for coal royalties. Secretary Shaw has Instructed Collector Strauahau to make the requested examination and documentation in order that the instrumeuts may be brought back without a payment of duty. Following the mass a banquet was held in St. Thomas' hall at which the Bishop and the priests of the diocese were present. The address was by Rev. John P. O'Malley, pastor of St. John's, this city, who spoke as follows:The action of the speaker and the scenes In the house created a tremendous sensation in the lobbies, which were crowded with members discussing every phase of the evening's occurrences. The Opposition interpreted the government's course as an attempt to stifle discussion, although moderate members admit that Mr. Balfour's attitude was perfectly correct. A Special Ruling. The ease of Hoyt against Kingston Coal Co. was tried before Judge Halsey, of the lower court, and his decision was in favor of the plaintiffs, the company being instructed to account for the increase In the smaller sizes of coal. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court, which yesterday' sustained Judge Halsey. The' xeeVtHary says that under ordinary circumstances a duty would have to be charged because the goods were manufactured abroad, and the laws require the collection of duty at every importation, whether the goods have ever been collected for before 01 not. But inasmuch as the espeditious are for the purpose of advancing knowledge the department makes a special ruling and permits their certitication and subsequent re-entry free. TRAGIC DEATH. Foreigner on the Way to a Wedding Fell From a Street Car and My Lord Bishop:—Permit me on this auspicious occasion to offer you, In the name of 200 and more priests of this diocese, felicitations on this, the 25th anniversary of your elevation to the sublime dignity of priesthood, and the 10th of your Episcopate. We, the priests of the diocese, would prefer to accompany these formal greetings with a silver testimonial of $10,000 but on learning from our Right Reverend Vicar General, to our disappointment and regret, that a pecuniary gift of any magnitude would prove distasteful, and believing that considerate motive impelled a rejection of our gift, we bow In filial submission to your wish, happy" in witnessing the celebration of pontifical high mass encompassed by the splendors of church ceremonial, in thanksgiving to God for the fruitful blessings conferred on youp and through you on us In these 25 years, for it is well known that your aversion to adulation is not the growth of a day or prompted by sudden impulse. That rare characteristic, in declining whatever tends to self-exaltation, may be seen through a "The present lease is infinitely better than the other two and why should I be asked to consent to the city giving away a contract that we now have by which we must receive In annual revenues at least $25,000,000 in the next twenty-four years and, with the increase in the consumption of gas. probably $40,000,000, and then at the end of twenty-two years we would get back without any charge against it the great gas plant with all its franchises and with all the money expended upon It by the United Gas Improvement Co. That plant I believe would be worth to the city from $80,000,000 to $100,000,000, so that by the proposed lease we should be practically giving away without any return the present gas plant, which will be worth at the expiration of twenty-two years, from $80,000,000 to $100,000,000. Mine Inspector McDonald will test the cages In the two shafts at the Butler colliery, of the Hillside Coal and Iron Co., this evening. IiOst 11 Ik Life, John Conyack, of Tuscarora, who was to have been best man at the wedding of a fellow countryman at Freeland yesterday, was killed on Sunday night while on his way to the North Side town. Conyack took a trolley car at Tamaqua for Mauch Chunk, where he had intended to cafch a Lehigh Valley train for HasjJeton. While the trolley cur was .speeding down the mountain near Lansford Conyack lost his hat. In trying to recover his headgear he lost his balance. When picked up it was found that he had sustained a fractured skull. Conyack died soon after being removed to Tamaqua. He was about . 24 years of age and formerly lived at Freeland.—Hazleton Plain Speaker. In the case of E. Oscar Myers et. al. against the Consumers' Coal Co. the same question was involved. The case was tried before Judge Ferris and the verdict was in favor of the company. This case was also appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed Judge Ferris and ordered the company to account for the Increase in production of smaller sizes. Action of United States Discussed: GRIEVANCES ARE HEARD The actiou of the United States In excluding foreign vessels from the coasting trade In the Philippine Islands after July 1, 1900, was discussed in the house of lords. The collector has also been notified that Professor John A. MlHer of Kirkwood observatory, Bloomington, Iud., assisted by Professor \V. A. Cogshull. will take out an expedition to Spain to observe the eclipse, and the necessary instruments are to be documented iu a like manner for this party. It is expected that application will be made by many institutions and private observers for the same privileges. Conciliation Board in Sas- sion at Hazleton. Lord Muskerry asked for further information regarding the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States, Germany and Spain as a result of the exclusion of British shipping from the Philippines, Marshall and Canary islands and also whether Great Britain reserved the water frontage of the British concessions at Hankow, China, for British ships. Several hundred thousand dollars .ire involved in these suits and the del cisions will therefore mean a large increase in the amount owners of coal lands will receive from royalties. It is estimated that the companies will be compelled to pay for about 13 per cent, more coal than was the case under the original leases. Kntlrc .Morning ScmIoii Was Occupied In Ilea ring Testimony In tlic Case (if tlic Centraliu Miners, Who Allege That Their Yard- age Was Cut Down, MACHEN GUILTY. A meeting of the Anthracite Conciliation Board is being held in Hazleton today. All of the members are in attendance, and President Connell, of Scranton, presides. The entire morning session was taken up in hearing testimony 011 a grievance presented by the miners employed In the Centralia colliery, of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co. The miners allege that before the two strikes they received yardage of $4, but that since the strikes, instead of receiving an increase, the yardage has been cut down to $3.60. The men ask that tho old price be restored and that they be given back pay. The defense made by the company is that there was an agreement with the miners by which they were to receive $4 yarCJhge when the vein was over seven feet in thickness and $3.60 when the vein is less than seven feet thick. The company alleges that the vein in which the men are working is now below seven feet In thickness, and that, therefore, they entitled to $3.60 yardage. Considerable testimony was taken in the matter, and when the board adjourned at noon for dinner, no decision had been reached in the matter. The session continues this afternoon.

A man giving his name as Joseph Ryan, who was arrested In Nanticoke two weeks ago, on suspicion of being a murderer and who has since been confined in the I.,uzerne county prison, awaiting the disposition of his case, was today taken to Reading by police officers from that city. About two weeks ago, Policeman Finn, of the Reading police force, was shot dead. While on his beat at night he discovered a man breaking Into a house. He made an attempt to place the man under arrest, but the man turned upon him with a revolver and fired two shots, one of which penetrated a vital part in the policeman and caused his death. The murderer escaped. A couple of days later Ryan was hanging around Nanticoke and was pladed under arrest. Apparently he had no fixed place of abode and could not give a satisfactory account of himself. On his person was found a revolver, two of the chambers of which had been discharged. The size of the cartridges in the revolver tallied with that of the bullet which killed the Reading policeman, and it was decided to hold the man until the Reading officials could be communicated with. A photograph of the man was taken and sent to Reading. This morning two Reading officers arrived In Wilkesbarre and partially Identified the prisoner as the man who had filled the policeman. In order to make the identification complete it was decided to take Ryan to Reading, which was done at noon today. Word was sent ahead to have a big #squad of policemen on hand at the station when the prisoner should arrive, it being feared that an attempt would be made to do him bodily harm. Public feeling was aroused to a high pitch by the cold-blooded murder of a public officer.^ In making his plea Machen delivered a statement to Justice Wright, in which he declared that he excrclsed no influence of any kind over the committee, which, after inspecting the competitive bids, purchased the materials on which the indictment Is based. But, he admitted, he had been interested in the profits of the contract, and had been advised by counsel that this situation made him "technically guilty'/ of the offense. He stated he had found himself practically defenseless, and while realizing the embarrassing position In which he was placed, and that of his wife, children and parents, he would nevertheless throw himself on the mercy of the court and plead guilty.
