Boston, Mass., March 13. —The la bor leaders have been in conference with Secretary Easley of. the Civic Federation, and there is a prospect of a general meeting of representa tives of all the leading business in terests, at which Mr. Easley will be heard after having learned the work men's side of the case. The indica tions are that learning is to he re sumed by some concerns after a tie up oi two days, and the strike situ ation is more hopeful this morning than it has been since the trouble began last Monday morning. Still 21,000 men are numbered among the forces of the stikers and threats that hundreds of others would join the movement arc as freely made as at any time this week. Secretary Easley arrived early and began a conference with the labor reresentatives or Freight Handlers', Team Drivers’, and Longshoremen's Unions, Janies Duncan, vice president of the American Federation of Labor; John F. O’Sullivan, fourth vice pres ident of the International Typograph ical Union; Frank H. McCarthy, pres ident of the Massachusetts state branch of the American Federation of Labor, and others were present at the meeting. Ihe conference lias been behind closed doors and it is said that noth ing will be given out until Mr. Eas ley is fully in touch with the situa tion. While the general aspect of the strike is much the same as it lias been on previous occasions, there are some slight changes. Until late yesterday the Brine Transportation company was doing principally all the teaming of the city, as an the other teamsters were tied up by a sympathetic strike. During yesterday, however, some con cerns found that, in order to saw their contracts with large firms, they must undertake to deliver goods or give the business over to the Brine company. This led two or the union teamsters to stalt out with non-union drivers and today several others fol lowed this action. As those at work yesterday met with no trouble it leu to the nope that operations might he resumed in a United degree, although it was felt that the presence of the non-union men on the teams might cause disturbances in the great army of strikers. The coal situation improved con siderably during tne night, several firms having taken advantage of the empty streets and daraness to convey coal to large consumers. COUNTIES OF THE CIRCUIT WANT BENNET TO REMAIN Probably never in the history of Georgia has there oeen a superior court judge so close to the people ot his circiii as is Judge Joseph W. Ben net, and the announcement some weeks ago, that he would restlre at the expiration of his term, caused genuine regret in every county of his circuit, and some of the counties are yet trying to persuade him to remain as judge. Since the announce ment of his Intention to retire the HANDSOME YACHT IN PORT. Is Owned by H. H. Rogers, the Standard Oil Magnate. The handsomest yacht ever seen in this harbor put into port late yes terday afternoon, and moored at Downing’s wharf. It was the Kanawha, owned by H. H. Rogers, and which nailed from New York.

London, March 13. —Announcement of the abandonment or the proposed visit of King Edward and Queen Al exandra to Ireland, whereby the min isters assume responsibility for the imperial boycott, is quite unprecedent ed in form and causes keen discussion the general,-tone of which is inter preted as displaying petty spite and spleen. The suggestion ought" to lie con veyed, both by the announcement it self and the comment of the minis terial organs, that the decision ar rived at was directly due to the out burst of some of the Irish membe’.s of the house eft commons when the news of the disaster to General Methu en's column was officially communi cated to that house, as declared by hostile critics to he obviously false, as it was announced weeks ago that the visit would he postponed. These critics also asserted that there seem good reason to believe that their majesties themselves all along desired to carry out the coro nation visit and though they have dif fered It on the advice„of the minis ters, they have no intention of re lieving tlie latter from the onus of a tactless move. The Freeman's Journal voices tun Nationalists’ views, saying: “The have put a veto on the Intended visit of the sovereign to a portion of his dominions, it would lie difficult for his majesty to reject the veto of his cabinet advisers, but it is plain he insisted the responsi bility should be theirs and not his.” “His ministers' could not venture to allow the king t j see with his own eyes and hear with his own ears of the barbarous methods of the castle and tlie deep resentment of his peo ple. His presence here would have been a sore enrmubeTam'e to the eo.o -nationistß. "There was imminent danger tnat his visit, might' have converted him to home rule or confirmed his existing conviction. Therefore the ministers in their own interest and tlie interest of unjonlsm have forbidden the visit.” MINSThEL TOMORROW. Two Performances Will Be Given at The Grand. Harry Ward’s popular minstrels will be here tomorrow and will give two performances, matinee and night. This minstrel company was here last year, and made quite a hit with the ii’ieater-goers, and will no doubt lie greeted by two large houses to morrow. popular judge lias received letters from many of the most prominent peo ple of the circuit, and some of the counties have gone so far as to offer him more money to remain, saying that the county would appropriate ex tra compensation for his services. Judge Bonnet keenly appreciates these tributes oi respect and esteem from the people of his circuit, and, although he has definitely decided to retire as judge, he regrets very much to do so.
