(CW. A. P. Cable.) 5 London, Feb. 23. Acvording to the Daily Telegraph Premier Asquith at the cofiference at the foreign: office yesterday proposed: (YA postponement of the date of the opening 9f-the strike. , (2) That the owners should admit the principle of a minimum wage, (3) That negotiations should ensue to settle the amount of a minimum wage. The miners offered no substantial objestion tothe proposals, Some of the owners concurred but the South Wales owners refused to listen to te request for a postponement on the ground that it would only: result in further disorganization of trade. According to a statement issued by news agency, called the Labor Press Agency, the government's in- tervention in the dispute failed, neith- er party being affected by the veiled threats of what the government might do, a Neither has moved a where it already stood: Augustin Birrel; chief Secretary of Ireland, speaking at Bristol last night said it Was useless to say that a min imum wage Was impossible and he frequently hoped that the matter might be settled fairly and rationally, but added: On behalf of the nation I protest against the notion that we have no rights in this question. London, Feb. 28. Mixed feelings inch from prevail to-day among the directly in- terested In the coal trade dispute while the great majority of the gena- ral public finds it hard to believe that such a calamity as a natfonal strike of coal miners involving nearly 1,000,000 men Wil be allowed to occur. Coal owners on the whole take a less favorable view, Delegates of coal owners and miners held separte meet- ings: privately this morning to. dis- cuss the outcome of Yesterday's con- ference with Premier Asquith and ot- her members of the government. It g-thought- that the difficulty in- the English coal mining area is within easy redch of soluti n as mine own- ers are inclined to show more sym- pathy with the men s demands for universal minimum wage, they would in return expect some guaran- tee from the miners in regard to the minimum of output. Miners in Eng- land would regret to see their ex- chequer which is now well supplied, epl ted in order to support striking Welsh .coal miners whose own funds were exhausted by the strike in Wales last year. Difficulty arises as to whether peace can be negotiated in separate areas and Welsh rhiners fina coal owners are alike apposed even to the postponement of the strike with a view to negotiations which was one of Premier Asquith s- suggestions.

He took the portfolio but said he. would not take on his shoulders any of Caillaux's debts. CHINESE LEADER TREASURED QUEUE Significant Act of Yuan Shai.Kai Causes World- Wide Comment.
