President Unduly Limited in Ap-
pointment of Board,
A DIVISION OF OPINION,
Willcesbarrc, Pa., Oct. 10.—From u
thorough canvass of the situation as it
now exists, there is every indication
that the new arbitration plan proposed
by the. presidents of the coal companies
for ending the miners' strike wilt not
be accepted in its present form. There
is a division of opinion amnnjr the
strikers, but there is no doubt that e
majority feel that the offer to have the
president of the United States select
an arbitration commission unduly lim-
its the president in making up the
board. The miners, it is safe to bay,
will abide by the advice of their na-
tional president, in whose judgment
they have the utmost confidence.
President Mitchell gave to the press
the following statement:
"I fully appreciate with what anx-
iety the people of our country are
awaiting the end of the coal strike.
The coal operators have not addressed
the miners1 union or its oHicers in
making their public statement. It is
therefore impossible for me to state
attitude of the miners at this time.
1 am now, as I have always been,
deeply solieitons for the interests of
the public and the welfare of the mine
workers who have been on strike for
the past live months. A formal state-
ment defining our position and inten-
tions will be issued just as soon as we
are in possession of the full meaning of
the proposition of the operators.'1
After giving this* statement he was
a .ted many questions regarding the
attitudeof the men and the probability
of the acceptance or rejection of the
new offer, but he had no reply to make
to any of these questions, lie denied
that he had any knowlddge of what
the new offer of the operators was un-
til it became public property, and also
denied that he was in telegraphic com-
munication with President Roosevelt.
His attention was called to the fact
that most of the information from
Washington indicated that the prop-
osition would be accepted and that the
strike was near an end, but he stoutly
maintained that neither his oflicers nor
the rank and file of the men had clone
anything to cause such an impression
RANDLET ASSAILS ASSOCIATION
(Jrnftiiig Attorneys Seem Kant on Rob-
bing the Indiana.
Washington, Oct. 20.—Lieutenant
Colonel Rundlct, 17. S. A., in charge of
the Kiowa Indian reservation in Oklu-
lioraa in his annual report to the com-
missioner of Indian affairs vigorously
assails the Indian Rights association
and the government board of Indian
commissioners. The attach is brought
out by statements made at the lust
I.ake Man honk, N. Y., conference,
which the agent alleges are misrepre-
sentations,
"It is apparent," says the report,
"that the time lias come when the
righteous should, in praying for the
interests of this agency, plead 'God
save them from their friends,' the
board of Indian commissioners and the
Indian Rights association, the latter
having developed as allies of grafting
attorneys who seem bent on robbing
tiie Indians of the tnugnnminous pro-
visions made for them by by the act of
congress of .)une 0, 1900. This has en-
couraged tiie constant demand of
legislators and congress thai, the pos-
sessions of tiie Indians of this agency
be taken from them and has engend-
ered the want of confidence and distrust
which is disturbing the minds of the
Indians, who have raised the question,
'What calamity have we to expect?"
Settlement of Coal Strike Removes
Business Handicap,
VERY SPEEDY RESTORATION.
RECOMMEND ACCEPTANCE.
M litem' Kxerntivo Hoards to tlio Dele-
gates.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 18.—The ex-
ecutive boards of the three anthracitc
districts of the United Mine Workers
of America, in joint session, unani-
mously decided to recommend to a dele-
gate convention of striking miners the
acceptance of the arbitration proposi-
tion submitted by the president of the
United States and it is reasonably cer-
tain that the advice will be followed
and the great struggle brought to a
close. The convention will assemble
in this city Monday morning and it is
the hope and belief of the oflicers of
the union that the mining of coal will
be resumed before the close of next
week, after a suspension of more than
live months.
Ruling Concerning Hallot.
Topeka, Oct 18.—Attorney General
Godard rules that where a party had a
etate ticket to go on the official ballot
that, space must he left for a county
ticket of that party, even though that
party had 110 county ticket in the
field. This will make the official bal-
lot cumbersome, but the attorney gen-
eral said lie followed the ruling of the
New York courts on the New York
election law, which is practically the
fcume as the new Kansas law.
Strike l.eader ludicted.
Denver, Col., Oct. 20. —Alexander S.
Allison, one of the leaders of the N.
P. K. K. machinists in this city who
are on strike and James C. Wood have
i een indicted by the federal grand
jury on a charge of obstructing the
I nited States mails by disabling a
Union Pacific engine at Deer Trail,
Colorado.
One Way Colonist Kates.
Chicago, Oct. 20.—The substitute
proposition for low one way colonist
rates has been voted down by the
Western Passenger association roads.
The Santa Fe and Rock Island, how-
ever, gave notice at once of their in-
tention to take independent action in
putting the rates into effect to points
in the South west.
Tremendous Simplicity.
New York, Oct. 17.—Knglish moral-
ists arc staggered by the tremendous
simplicity of the negotiations for
bringing the eoa; &triko to a close.
Neither sovereign nor prime minister
here could have intervened in an in-
dustrial crisis as the president has
done; nor is there any English financier
capable of playing Mr. Morgan's part.
No labor leader has arisen in England
with Mr. Mitchell's influence over the
workers. The strike if settled by arbi-
tration will he a fresh proof, according
to English observers, that Americans
have the power of keeping their heads
while walking on the verge of a high
precipice.
Pope Compliments U.S. Government.
Rome, Oct. 15.—On learning of the
approaching arrival hereof Archbishop
Chappelle, the apostolic delegate to
Cuba and Porto Ilieo, the Pope asked
for a full report on religious affairs in
Cuba, which he carefully examined.
On reading the agreements arrived at
with General Wood as military Gov-
ernor of Cuba, the pontiff exclaimed:
"Washington is the most loyal and
generous government the church ever
had to do with."
New York, Oct. 20.—R. O. I)un it
Co.'h Weekly Trade Review says that
the settlement of the coal strike re-
moves the only serious handicap to
industrial progress. Five months of
restricted fuel production has begun to
check the wheels at many manufactur-
ing centers, while there was a percep-
tible diminution in consumptive de-
mands as the purchasing power of the
| earners steadily decreased.
Savings have been exhausted and
much money has gone out of the coun-
i try because of this struggle, but tiie
nation s remarkable strong position
| assures a speedy restoration of pros-
i perous conditions. Transportation is
now the worst feature, and threatens
to continue disturbing. While the
grain crops are being moved the supply
1 of rolling stock and motive power will
j prove insufficient, although every effort
i is made at the shops, liberal premiums
being offered for early delivery. That
the railways are well occupied is evi-
denced by earnings for the fir t w ek
of October 3.5 per cent larger than last
year and 10.9 per cent above l'JOO.
' Inadequate supplies of fuel caused
| further banking of furnaces, but the
effect of a decreased output of domes-
. pig iron has been partially neu-
tralized by la«"Kwr ftrrivuls from
| abroad. Footwear shops are actively
engaged, many producers having add-
ed to their long list of orders, and
| while practically all of the New Kng-
1 land manufacturers are assured full
! time up to the cud of the year, they
' re also taking orders for deliveries in
March. Prices are easily maintained.
( Leather is slightly weaker, owing t^>
the sharp fall in hides, which has been
accentuated by the poorer quality now
| coining on the market. In cotton
goods the feature was a purchase
about 250,000 pieces of print cloths.
; While quotations were not altered, the
| tone became decidedly firmer.
Failures for the week numbered 200
I in the United States against 229 last
i year, and '.'4 in Canada, compared with

Could Keep Commute*, of CnnereH Con*
Htnotly Informed.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 16.—Postmas-
ter tieneral Payne in an interview said
that the forthcoming annual message
of Preside!'.' Roosevelt, to Congress,
would f-.obably recommend that a per-
manent tariff hoard or commission bi
appointed. Mr. Payne said:
"lie will probably favor a reduction
of import duties upon products which
no longer need protection. He is also
inclined to favor the creation of a per-
manent tariff commission which can at
all times receive testimony subject to
expert consideration and trade, sub-
mitting its reports and recommenda-
tions to congress as other departments
of the national government. This will
insure the careful and thorough com-
pilation of all information accessible
and will save to congressional commit-
tees a vast amount of labor. This was
the policy outlined by the president in
his speech at Logansport, Ind., and
which it is safe to predict will be em-
bodied in his annual address to con-
gress. lie is strongly in earnest in
these views, as well as in those in re-
lation to reciprocity as a feature of our
commercial intercourse with foreign
nations.
FalHe Labels.
Topeka, Oct. 20.—(ieorge II. Sliar-
ritt, cleric of the United States court at
Topeka, has sent out notices of the
fact that many canneries in Kansas
are sending out their products bearing
labels which represent that the goods
are put up at places in other states,
which have established repulation in
special lines. It is done in violation
of a United States statute forbidding
such practices find placing heavy pen-
alties upon parries who are guilty of
them. The new law will ultimately
give each state the credit for the ar-
ticles it produces.

(iivea SOO Cor<l. of Hurt! Wood.
Utica, Oct. 30.—Dr. \V. Seward Webb,
president of the Mohawk & Maloue
railroad, has mude a present of ten
carloads of hnr.l wood to bo delivered
in this city to employes of the road
residing here. The ten cars will hold
fully 200 cords, and it will be brought
down the rond from Nehasane Park
very soon. A number of the fami-
lies to whom this wood will go are
very nearly out of fuel, and were
wondering where the next Hre would
come from.
Counterfeit Dollars In Manila.
Manila, Oct. 15.—Counterfeit Ameri-
can silver dollars are being made in
China and circulated here extensively. I
The suspicion is held that some of this
money was shipped from San Fran-
cisco. The dollars are of silver ami
are of standard weight. They have
been detected through the improper
stamping of Uie word "Liberty" on the
goddess. The low price of silver insured
to the maker of this counterfeit money
aprofitof 100 per cent. American silver
circulates as gold in the Philippines.
German Legation at Havana.
Herlin, Oct. 14.—The cabinet has de-
cided to establish a (icriuau legation at
Havana and the foreign office has in-
serted an appropriation for that pur-
pose in tl.e next budget. The reasons
for taking this step appear to be
largely commercial.
Sheep Rushed to Market.
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 20.—Official
stock yards figures show that receipts
of sheep one day last week—13,787
broke all records. They come from the
big ranges of Utah and New Mexico to
Kansas City by the train load. About
three-fourths of them are suitable only
as stoekcrs and feeders to be taken
back to the country and fattened.
Many country buyers have taken ad-
vantage of ruling low prices and prob-
ably more sheep will be fed in Missouri
aud Kansas than for many years.
Transports Mill Not llrlng Cholera.
Washington, Oct. 16.—The army med- i
ical oflicers say there is little danger of
the bringing of cholera to this eountr.
by the army transports from Manila. !
The Sherman reported that she had
seven cases of cholera since leaving
Manila. This fact gave rise to appre-
hension. The Sherman arrived at San
Francisco twenty-one days after the
last ease on board. As 'lie period of !
incubation of cholera is only live davs,
the disease must, have died out long
before the ship arrived in miarantine.
Mutual Tontine Indicted.
St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 18.—The grand
1 jury made its long delayed ivpevt in
| the tontine cases, returning true bills
against William A. P. Mcl'ike, M. s.
Harrington and A. C. Lucas, in which
they are charged with obtaining mon-
ey under false pretenses in the opera-
tion of the Mutual Tontine Investment
Association and the Colorado Invest-
ment Association. The indictment in
the case of the Colorado concern speci-
fically charges the obtaining of money
by false pretenses iu speculation with
the Mutual Tontine Investment com-
pany. The names of 100 witnesses
who gave testimony before the grand
jury are indorsed in the indictments.
A Coal Strike Settled.
Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 17.—The
strike at the coal mines of the Tenn-
essee Coal and Railroad company,
which has been in full force for the
past ten days has been iettled and
4,500 men will return to work"at onee.
The terms of settlement were not
given out. The settlement was brought
about through the good offices of
Rufus N. Rhoades, editor of a local
paper.
Forgot Ills Crutrhes.
Washington, Oct. 20.—President
Itoosevlet's saddle horses, Hleinstein
and Renown, have arrived from Oyster
15ay. They were brought by a cavalry
orderly to the White House for his
inspection. As the animals were led
to the front of the mansion President
Roosevelt, without the assistance of
cratches, stepped briskly down the
steps to see his favorite horses. He
gave each a generous lump of sugar.
