J. McBride and J. J. Garrity, to a
violation of the law relative to na

comment as to what the out-

derstood that they will fight the
charges against themselves snd not
enter pleas of guilty. The defend
ants and those who' did plead guil

they got off very well with a fins of
a thousand dollars each. There were
more charges against them than
there were against any of the other
defendants. The others have secured
attorneys with the idea of making a
defense. It is not believed that these
cases will be tried soon.

• Much Interest.
By Telegraph to the Herald.
Savannah, Ga., April 4.—The news
printed in Savannah yesterday that
charges have been preferred In Wash,
ington against Postmaster Henry
Blun Jr., of Savannah, excited con
siderable Interest here. It is believed
to be the forerunner of what prom
ises to be a very animated contest
for the Postmastership. It was be
lieved until recently that Capt. BVn.
who !b very popular In Savannah, wns
to be given a reappointment without
any opposition. The filing of charg
es, which he has gone on to Washing
ton to answers and explain a way If
possible, is looked upon however, of
the beginning of a fight Upon him.
His term of office expires In May. It
Is believed that expostmaster Doyle
will he an applicant for the office.
The Postmaster of Savannah is
custodian of the public building In
which the postofflee Is located and
there has been some friction between
Postmaster Blun, and Judge Emory
Speer, and the attaches of his court.
Whether this is going to have any
effect upon the race for postmaster
remains to be seen. It Is thought by
some that it will have. Mr. Blun is
expected back from Washington in
the next few days. He was to see

about the charges against him last
night and It is expected that he did

New York. April 4.—The anthra
cite miners scale committee met to
day to prepure plans for bringing
about a settlement of the existing
differences In the hard coal field.
While no members of the commit
tee will discuss bow an adjustment
is to be effected, it is learned that
certain demands, which tha operators
have Already refused, will ha elimin
ated or so modified that the opera
tors will accept them without feel
ing that they have stultified their
present position of ooncedlng any
thing. - w
Behind the surface Indtsationa for
war In the anthracite regions, there
in a current asking for peace which
appear^, to be grOwihff stronger.
Whether a satisfactory solution la
worked out depends upon how the
present delicate situation is handled
by thg leaders of both sides.

outlook today, In fact he had nothing
of Importance to say bearing on the
situation. . .. ;
After Many Days
Lens, France. April 4.—The men
who bad been exploring in the Sailau
mines since Friday last when 14
miners, who had been entombed 20
days were taken out alive, today,
came upon ten other miners with
life still In taem. They were found
In pit No. 4 and were quickly brought
to the surface. The rescue of these
ten Is regarded as even more mir
aculous than the finding of the
others, not only because they have
existed twenty-five days underground
five days more than the other men
were burled but because pit number
4 was damaged more than any other
by the explosion. The newly die-
scovered men were In a frightful con
st emaciation. Tna dangers
they faced and the hardships they
endured were even greater than those
of the men found last week.
