Mew York, Feb. 27.—President Hoosevelt has intervened to prevent. If he can, the national calamity of a general coal strike. The following letter sent to President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers and to Francis L. Kobblus, president of the Pittsburg Coal company aud chairman of the bituminous coal o|Derators' committee, has brought about the announcement of a joint national convention of bituminous miners and operators to meet at Indianapolis March 15 for a renewal of negotiations: of per cent. The miners were looking forward to the holding of a. national convention at Indianapolis about March 15. which would order a strike. Mr. Rodgers sent two telegrams. Ill the first he said that during the riots the American mission stations at Nuncliung had been destroyed and that the fourteen American missionaries there hud escaped. The Klngham family, consisting of two adults and two children. were reported killed.

Uunbesky was arrested last night at a Polish dance by Oflicer Peildergast. His falling into the police net is directly traceable to his rival in love. Addressing the officers of the Berlin Military gymnasium last Saturday after witnessing an exhibition of bayonet drill, the kaiser said: "Tell your men that, while fighting nowadays Is done mainly with long distance rifles and artillery, they must not lose signt of the importance of relying upon their individual powers of self defense.

Head of Illinois Operators Says No Brother—Brother. Walking According to a story told by John Hmalzky, who brought about the arrest of Bunbesky, he and the latter were both suitors for the hand of Elizabeth Mallinak. who lives on the back road of Duryea. Elizabeth finally expressed her preference for Smalzky, who lives on Xorth Main street, this city, and told Bunbesky so. According: to the story, the rejected Romeo became enraged on hearing that his suit met with disfavor, and he said to Elizabeth that ho would do away with Smalzky. Last evening, Hmalzky and Elisabeth attended a dance In this city and, at a rather late hour, thej saw Bunbesky come into the hall. Smalzky caused Officer Pendergast to bp sent for and told him that he feared harm at the hands of Bunbesky. The officer brought Bunbesky aside and, on searching him, found a loaded revolver. The prisoner was locked up and later was given a hearing before Mayor Langan, who bound him over for court. Agreement Has Been Reached. Ahead, Ignited Has While Am Sugar .. Am Car & F Am Loco ..

It was Mitchell's diplomacy that led the president to act. Before tlie president's anthracite commission in 1IKK1 had bound the hard coal men to peuce until April 1, ltKMJ, Mitchell foresaw another struggle.

TlwD officials ivere accept Consul General Kodgers' suggestion that the trouble at Xanchang if local. hilt it is realized thHt the Incident Itself appears to justify such preparations as are now under way from a military point of View. The report that English subjects have been killed Is the most serious phase of the affair, for it is said that this fact may be made the basis of forcible measures on the part of the British government that might inflame the entire Chinese population. The great element of danger In the explosion was a can of giant powder which James Granahan had on his shoulder when his brother set off the body of gas. Had the flames communicated with this, or had It fallen heavily, an explosion would have followed that would probably have, killed both men. vauce iu waifttat »■» i ii i* i*f Vice 1'resldent Lewis is most extraordinary aud inexplicable.

The latter was In grave danger and an instant's hesitation would have cost him his life, owing to the powder he was carrying. As quickly as he could he dropped to the ground, at the some time holding tightly to the can lest It slip and fall. The flames passed over his head, not Injuring him in the slightest.
