Chicago, April 10.—Weary and worn from his long railway journey, John Alexander Dowie, deposed propliet of Zion, arrived In Chicago at 8:4!D this morning over Ihe Wabash railway. Chicago, April 10. — Representative Nicholas Longworth was the guest of honor at a dinner in the Auditorium hotel, given by (he Hamilton club in celebration of the anniversary of Appomattox day. The banqueters were greatly disappointed because Mrs. Longworth was not present, as arrangements had been made for a concealed balcony in which she could listen to her husband's speech. Mr.- Longworth said: Pittsburg, April 10.—Practically all the miners affiliated with the United Mine Workers of America in the bituminous field have returned to work. In the TMttsburg district all the mines are in operation. At the ofilces of the Pittsburg Coal Co., It was announced that all of Its mines were in operation and shortly afterward It was learned that the largest of any of the Independent operators, the Pittsburg & Westmoreland Coal Co., hail signed tlu- scale. This Is the company of which Oeorge A. Magoon is president and general manager and who has been the leader of the Independents in their opposition to granting the demands of the miners.

"The award shall be effective April 1, 190(5, and lhC* present award of the commission, with any modifications thus made, shall continue In effect till March 31, 1909. Three years are suggested because that period of time has been found satisfactory In the present case and also because this will avoid introducing a purely business question into the political questions of a Presidential contest. Probably three thousand persons jammed themselves Into the I'olk street depot, a swaying struggling curious mass of humanity, who fought strenuously with an extra police force for places of vantage to witness the debarkation. Cheers, yells and catcalls went up continuously. CITY SOLICITOR AGAIN. Shortly after the adjournment was made, a statement was issued to the effect that the operators had presented to the miners' representatives the KING VISITS DEVASTATED DISTRICTS Hon. Gr. F.

"I want to say with reference to politics niul the present situation in general today that It seems to be the fashion nowadays to assail all our public men, to belittle their character and to impugn their motives. If you believe all you read and hear you might well reach the conclusion tlr ♦. there is not a man today in public life whose motives are free from suspicion. You might well believe that politics means graft and that graft means politics. If you don't happen (o agree with the views of the political man today you assail his motives, and you insinuate that there are corrupting motives behind him. "We are willing that these subjects should be examined by impartial persons. We therefore propose the following course: For a Third Time. "The members of the commission shall be paid such compensation for their services and expenses as may be fixed by themselves. The operators shall furnish one-half of the same and your committee shall furnish the other half."

Mr. O'Brien enters on his third term as city solicitor at an annual salary of J900. He has had charge of the city's legal interests for the past five years, having been elected shortly after his graduation from the law school of the University of Pennsylvania. "I am one of those who believe that Instead or everything getting worse things are getting better. I am one of those who believe that the standards of our public men are getting higher instead or lower, that the standard of public morals is becoming higher instead of lower and that today the standard of public morals in this country Is higher than In any other country under the sun.

"We have nothing to take back which-w© said in that resolution and have no apology to make for It," Mr. Winder continued. "I disclaim responsibility for disrupting the Interstate agreement as charged by Itobbtns. simply because I made the motion to adjourn sine die at Indianapolis. That motion was made after a conference with President Mitchell. In which he agreed to second the motion for a adjournment If I would make it. He afterwards refused to second the motion and one of our side was compelled to second it. To adjourn sine die required the unanimous vote of the miners and the operators and the motion was carried, both Mr. Rob. bins and President Mitchell voting for it. If there Is a responsibility for disrupting the interstate agreement, all must share it. The statement that I, or my associates are attempting to prevent Ohio operators who are willing to sign the 1903 ocale from being permitted to do so Is false. We are not doing any thing of the kind. We believe the advance asked for by the miners is not justified and we cannot, and will not, pay it." THREE ATTEMPTS TO BURN CHURCH The special committee empowered by the board of schol control to arrange for shingling the Garfield or Vine street school awarded a contract for the same yesterday.

Washington. April 10. — ltussia has concurred with the desires of the United States and the South American republics and will agree to a postponement of the date which she originally set for The Hague conference. The state department in translating the communication from ltussia overlooked the fact that the Russian calendar differs from the Gregorian and that instead of the first half of July Russia meant to set the last half of .luly as the time in which The Hague conference should be held. DOUGHERTY TO COMMAND BRIGADE It Is now believed that the five, men who broke into the house of Attorney Henry Plumb, at Warrior Run, early yesterday morning, were residents of Sugar Notch. The authorities have a good elue, but it is not yet strong enough to warrant the making of arrests. Mr. Plumb is entirely out of danger and, despite his advanced age, his recovery is expected. "First Sergeant Henry C. Dimon, with ten men, responded to Sergeant Garwood's call for assistance and at Mr. May's request they marched to the houses from which the miners had fired. The doors were barred against them, and a parley ensued, in which Sergeant Dimon endeavored to ascertain. by means of an interpreter, whether the Italians were naturalized citizens. The three residents declared they were naturalizedbut gave various reasons for not showrng their papers. Sergeant Dimon asked if they had arms in their houses, and they replied they had not.
