Pittsburg, April 9.—Francis I* Robbins, chairman of the board of directors of the Pittsburg Coal Co., is confined to his home in this city as a result of the mental and physical strain he has undergone in the labor controversy with the miners during the past three days. He Issued a statement in which he says that the resolutions adopted by the Ohio Coal Operators' association Saturday are not in accordance with the facts. The statement says: OPERATORS MADE Naples, April 9. — The hope that Mount Vesuvius was becoming calm has been dissipated, as the volcano lias becomo more active than ever. The other victims of the accident are all men who were brought to the Ewen from outside the coal Region, and they have requested that their names be not made public, fearing that their families may become alarmed. Their condition is not serious, their injuries consisting principally of painful burns on the hands and face. They will probably be dismissed, from the hospital in a short time. THE REQUEST The panic has spread to Naples. Two strong earthquake shocks, which shattered window panes and cracked the walls of buildings, were experienced Inst night. The entire population rushed to the streets in terror, many persons crying: "The Madonna has forsaken uhI The end of the world has come!" And it was Granted by "The Interstate movement was not disrupted by me, but terminated on Thursday, March 30, when a motion was made by Mr. Winder, chairman of the Ohio operators, and seconded by Cal Smith, president of the Illinois Operators' association, that the joint convention adjourn sine die. At no time did I make any effort to place any burden upon any state. I simply asked that in the event of no general settlement being reached that the miners would permit any operator in any of or all states to operate their mines if they wished to do so on the scale of 1903 and thus prevent a general suspension of the mines of the country, which would have been a national calamity.

He is the son of the famous Judge Culberson who was so.long a representative in congress, Senator Culberson was for four years attorney genera] of Texas, four years governor and is now serving his second term in the upper house of the national legislature. Dowie's Mexican scheme was also voted against unanimously by the people, and following tlie meeting nearly every one present signed the petition of protest against Dowle's continuation of power. This petition has already been signed by the overseers and officers. In addition to the members of the churt'h, 247 members of the Zlon City guard took the oath of allegiance to the new leader. The guards in signing the petition were headed by their colonel, Gladstone Powie. Mexican Scheme Vetoed Mail anil Hoy Wore round Killing Song Birds in Browntown by Two of Police—Taken to Wilkes.

Two members of Troop B, of the State Constabulary, got into action this morning as game and fish wardens, when they found an Italian man and youth gunning for song birds in Browntown. The two were taken prisoners and taken between the horsemen to the Laurel Line station. The arrests created intense excitement, especially among the foreign element. A large crowd followed the troopers and prisoners to the station and hung around until they saw the prisoners and a guard placed on a train bound for WiLkesbarre. There was no attempt at disorder. As yet it is impossible to count the craters that have opened and from which streams of lava have Hooded tin* beautiful, prosperous and happy land lying on the southeast shores of tlie gulf of Naples. Only one fatality has been reported, a woman at Portiei dylug of fright. "The action of the majority of the Ohio operators in endeavoring to prevent those operators in the state who were ready and willing to sign the scale, from operating their mines, is a high-handed proceeding, a bad example to their employes and to labor organizations, and Is illegal and against public policy. Those of us who have dealt with labor organizations for years and who have been interested in attempting to bring the employer and employed closer together, have always maintained that labor has as much right to organize as capital, but each individual must be permitted to exercise his own rights and must be protected in so doing. And with this in view. If the action of the Ohio operators is to be taken seriously it shows how inconsistent they are." Terrible Outrage Perpetrated on Warrior Run Man. Body Found at Exeter Was New York, April 9.—After a short meeting of the operators this morning it was decided to request an adjournment of the Joint meeting of operators and miners, scheduled for this afternoon, until tomorrow afternoon in order that the operators might agree upon some form of counter proposition that would be satisfactory to all the operators. President Bacr. of the Heading, and E. B. Thomas, of the Lehigh Valley, who is chairman CDf the operators' scale committee, called Mitchell up tfn the telephone shortly before 11 o'clock and requested an adjournment of today's meeting until tomorrow afternoon. The request was granted and Mr. Mitchell made public the news of the adjournment. Identified. The revelations and proofs of Howie's alleged misconduct wore not submitted to the congregation.

As the two men were riding through Browntown they noticed the man and the boy with the gun. They hurried forward and found on the* persons of the Illegal Tftft'iters four birds, three robins and one blue bird. As it is against the law, the two were taken prisoners and shackled together. The boy seemed to be no' more than 15 years old. They were placed between the horsemen and taken at once to this city, word being sent in the meantime to the barracks In Wyoming. A detail, under a sergeant, hurried at once to the Laurel Line station, to which the men had been brought, after which the two troopers who made the arrest were sent back to the barracks. The foreigners crowded about the station so that the sergeant had to* shove them back. The arrest was the most public made by the police in this vicinity and attracted many English speaking people. The sergeant stated to a reporter that the men would be taken to the barracks first for an examination, after which they would be taken before a justice. They were placed on a train and taken to Wllkesbarre. The gun and the birds were also taken along as evidence. Voiiva bitterly arraigned his former leader as "liar."

New York. April 9.—The condition which resulted in a request for a postponement of the conference of operators and miners from today until tomorrow is said to have been brought about by President Truesdale, of the Lackawanna company. Mr. Truesdale, it is said, favors peace. If It can be secured by any reasonable means, and It looks as though his influence would nullify the warlike intentions of some of the operators.

The creditors of Zion will be paid 100 cents on the dollar." New York, April 9.—Arbitration for the purpose of finding out if there are any arbitrative differences between tlie operators and miners in the anthracite region will probably be the result of the Joint meeting of the representatives of the hard coal operators and their employes, when the operators' answer to John Mitchell's proposal for arbitration will be made. The operators held a meeting here this morning to complete the reply, which is a refusal td submit any of the original demands of Mitchell to arbitration, but indicates a willingness to join in arbitration of any new issues that may have arisen since the award of the anthracite commission or any conditions that may have changed since the commission's award.

A canvass of the men revealed a desire on the part of a largo number to return to work. Sixty-five of the miners held a meeting' in an abandoned pit and voted to return to work. By this time Mrs. Plumb had reached the room and she was roughly thrown to the floor and securely bound hands and feet with strips of sheeting, which was torn by one of the vlllians. She was compelled to lie on the floor in full view of the husband's torture while his cries of pain as the men applied the lighted candle on his feet pierced her ears.

Heports come from Coxton Yard that there is a likelihood of some of the clerks In the coal department being laid off, on account of a lack of work. Huring the past few days, the road crews have been gathering in scattered cars of coal from the various collieries and coal switches, and about 4D0 cars have been taken to Coxton yard and shipped westward. No coal is being held in the yard, except for a short time during transit. Home 700 empty coal cars have been taken from Coxton to the west, and It is said that they are to be used to bring iron ore eastward. Freight business is keeping up fairly well. On account of the lack of coal to transport, there has been a marked reduction in the number of road crews running out of Coxton yard. Today, only 18 crews were boarded out, instead of the usual number, 26. and the number to be boarded out will be reduced to 16 tomorrow. The seven regular mine crews have been suspended entirely.

ROCKMEN DECIDE TO REMAIN FROM WORK The question of whether John Mitchell and the scale committee will accept the proposition of the operators is unanswered, and may remain so for several days, for it is not likely the committee would indicate to the operators either its acceptance or reject- Ion at once. The miners' committee are strong in their contention that there are many arbitrative differences in the matter of wages and hours. The miners say that there are many inequalities of wages and hours in the same class of work which has not been provided for by the commission's award, and that experience has shown that the composition and procedure of the board of conciliation Is ineffective in settling the multitude of questions and disputes arising continually in the hard coal regions.

Held Wednesday— welcome to that St. l,ouis, April 9.—-A large gathering of followers of John Alexander Howie declared in favor of supporting him and denounced the charges formulated by Overseer Yollva as a "wicked and malicious betrayal of a sacred trust and the work of the devil." —I.ooo Men Affected Prisoners in jails on fhe mountainside went mad with terror and urn linied and were only partially quieted by being brought here. But their fears The robbers were told inhere there Were $35 and a gold watch, which they immediately procured and deposited in a small bag they carried. Then they prepared to leave, feeling anything but satisfied with their haul. A meeting of delegates of the rockmen throughout the Lackawanna and, Wyoming valleys was held last evening in Scranton. Fifty delegates, representing 1,000 rockmon, employod by 58 contractors, were present and discussed the situation. They decided Anally not to return to work until a meeting between representatives of the rockmon and the rock contractors Is held on Wednesday next. In some sections the contractors have not acceded to the union scale fixed for tho rockmen and, before operations are resumed, an endeavor will be made to reach a general agreement on this have been communicated to the prisoners here, who may rebel at any mo tnent. The situation is critical. Before quilting the jiremises one of the desperadoes knelt down to Mrs. Plumb and asked the name of their physician. When told Dr. James, of Ashley, the fellow said in a kindly tone, "I will telephone him to come and look after the old man."

Mr. Plumb was left unbound, but the wife was still held by the sheet strips when the fellows departed. By some hard and painful work, the husband succeeded In untying theknots which held his wife, but fearing that the burglars had not yet left they were afraid to give the alarm* until daylight. Baltimore Fire Put Out. This contention is disputed by the operators, but differences on the makeup and procedure of the conciliation board are not vital In the present situation, for both sides: could readily agree on this demand of the miners. Under the arbitration plan the hope for union recognition at this time has been abandoned by the miners and the only arbltratlve questions are narrowed down to hours and wages, with a few unessential questions which In nu sense threaten the Industrial peace of the region. Baltimore. April !D.—The lust vestige of Baltimore's great fire has just been put out.
