John Mitchell, the president of the Anthracite coal miners Union, seems to ilie and prove equal to the require mente of every occasion. The follow ing forceful paragraph is taken from bis plea for an increase in miner's wages: "Our little boys should not be forced into the mines and breakers so early in life. Our little girls should not be compelled to work In the mills and fac tones at an age'when they Bhould be in school. These children are the future citizens of our nation. Their parents should be enabled to earn wages sufll Clently high to give them at least a common school education so as to equip them to bear the grave responsibilities that will ultimately devolve upon them The wealth and the future of the nation •re not to be measured by its palaces and millionaires, but rather by the en lightened contentment and prosperity of its millions of citizens who constitute the bone and sinew of our land." Anthracite Coal Trust WeakenB. The attorneys for the Anthracite Ccal TriiBt croBB examined President Mitch ell for several days without making a •ingle point In their favor, and now When it is In order for their clients to take the stand they do not seem to be forthcoming. It is broadly hinted that the big operators and the presidents of the coal roads will never go on the wit ness stand. There are, it is contended, many glaring violations of law, and many unlawful discriminations close to their doors, to which they object to having the commission apply the probe. In fact It Is broadly asserted that if the trust managers place themselves in a position where they will be obliged to answer questions, their answers will convict them of criminal offenses as well as willful violations of both state and federal statutes. At any event a great change has come over the coal trust. There Is not now trace of arrogance visible in its man agement, and it is attempting to make the best settlement It can with the miners "out of court" and in that way escape the consequences of a public ex posure of their unlawful methods. i' Acknowledges the Corn. The Hopkinton Leader is sick—very ••i: sick, and devotes its columns largely to bewailing the political downfall of Mr. Carter. And yet the Leader is in a meas ure responsible for that downfall. Sever sl times during the past two yesrs the Leader has called attention" to the fact that the board of supervisors were not giving the publicity that they ought to the manner in which they were expend ing the public money. These articles, together with those that appeared in the Democrat in relation to the wanton fail ure of the board to keep a bridge book i. showing all expenditures for the bridges fs In the county, nodoubtinfluencedmany voters to vote against Mr. Carter that S» otherwise would have voted for him. Honest James Legassick will, after tSr jyf ..ssasr I 1 JS- #r. We sincerely hope that Honest James will be able to carry out the prodigious task which the Democrat outlines for him, but Just how it will be done unless the club that was held over Carter hBs more o|.a terrorizing«1nfluence on the other members, we cannot imagine. It Is to be hoped that the bridge book, over which the Democrat is much exer cised, will be well and faithfully kept, for after Honest JameB gets on the board, and Manchester gets its new bridge, the "people" are going to want to know just what the thing cost in pounds, shillings and pence. Keep after the bridge record, lJro. Democrat, and If the board doesn't come to taw we'll all take a hand in the row and stick our editorial quills into 'em clean up to the feathered tips,—Hopkinton Leader. PRESIDENT AT PHILADELPHIA Incident That Startled Onlookers, but Meant No Harm—Ho Makes Three Speeches. Philadelphia, Nov. 24. President 12, Roosevelt, accompanied by several members of lis cabinet, came to this y%\ city Saturday afternoon and evening. D.uring the afternoon the president wab the chief speaker at the exercises in* •A- cident to the dedication of the new •$: Central high school for boys. He made •j two addresses at the institution, 0110 being to 1,500 pupils of this school. At night the president responded to a toast during the Founders' Day ban quet at the Union League. His speech at the banquet touched on the issuer of the day, and was a forcible expo sition of his views on them. Ilis speech to the boys was brief and full of good advice, ending with: "Don't tlunk don't foul hit the live hand." His reception all day was most enthusi astic. While the president was driving to a reception in the afternoon a man In the crowd dived under the ropes stretched along the street and ran to ward him. The secret service men saw him and shouted: "Keep that man back!" Secretary Cortelyou leaned out of the carriage to protect the president and the guard closed up. The man, however, reached the carriage and said he only wanted to shake bands with the president, and the pres ident gratified him. During the con fusion a negro got alongside the car riage and seizing the president's hand covered It with .kisses. -i-wap mmm .mmm* ^fst -. •v*1- .V •fft^-*-&*' **-V Seems To Be the Destination of the Anthracite Mine Strike Matter. NEW PROPOSAL IS PUT FOEWAED By Which the Dispute Hay Be Settled by the Parties Interested. Suggestion or a TenDaye' Recess of the Commission That the New Scheme May Be Given a Trial. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 22.—The mine workers, through their representatives, have agreed with the mine owners to attempt to adjust the differences ex isting betwwen them outside the an thracite eonl strike commission. The proposition was made oil a compromise basis, and negotiations, it is expected, will be at once entered upon with a reasonable hope of settlement. The rough proposition which Is to form the basis of negotiations is a 10 per cent, increase In wages, a nine-hour day, and trade agreements between the miners and the company by whom they are employed. The only one of the four de mands not touched upon is that of the weighing of coal by the legal ton. Terms Stated Are Only a Bull* While bothsides have expressed their willingness to settle their differences among themselves it is not to be con strued that It carries with it the ac ceptance of the terms proposed. They are mentioned only as a basis, it is un derstood, from which a settlement is to be effected. It is possible that the foundation already laid can be wrecked by either party holding out too strong* ly against some question, iCnd tiius leave the whole matter in the bands of the commissioners who, in the mean time, will act aB a board of concilia tion, rather than an as a board of ar bitration. Created a Htld Sensation* Few persons were aware that an at tempt would T)e made at an outside set tlement until it was practically so in timated by Judge Gray, the chairman of the commission, who read a care fully prepared announcement from the "bench." The move, one of the most important in the whole history of the coal strike, created a mild sensation when it became known. The surprise was all the greater when it will be re membered that numerous persons, from the president of the United States down, and that many organizations, from the National Civic Federation to the small boards of trade of the min ing towns, failed to bring the two par ties together. BEGAN TO APPBECIATE THE JOB Concluded That Life Was Too Short to Permit of a Fnll Invettlgan* It is said it was all brought about .by.,.both .sides seeing, that, the pro ceedings before the commission would be interminable, and that in the in termingling 'of the lawyers for both sides the outside agreement proposi tion was broached and taken up. It cannot be officially stated whicn par ty made the proposition first. The attorneys for both sides are averse to talking, but those who were inclined to say something differ in their state ments. An attorney for one of the railroads said it came from the miners' side, while one lawyer for the miners said it was a "spontaneous" proposi tion. hiB Installation Into office, the first meeting of the,board tbe.coming vear.have.tbat took kept or thlre will be a row, and' the people will know the cause of it.— •f- Democrat. $ The Democrat says truthfully that the Leader favors the freest publicity In all matters pertaining to the public expenditure. It has advocated that policy time and again, and notwith standing the Democrat's insinuation to the contrary, Mr. Cartetfewltfien In full Empathy with tbj&^ntimeQtg uttered by tnw^ESfatT He has asked other members of the board to concur in policy directing the publication of item ized reports of expenditures from the road and bridge funds, and of other matters of which the taxpayers are en titled to the fullest information But Supervisor Durey has always maintained that If the taxpayer wanted to know how his money is being spent he can hitoh up and go to the court house, and hunt through the archives until hefinds out. We do not know what Supervisor Lindsay's views are, but at least he has not urged the reform or it might have been adopted. It is generally believed, however, that the operators were the first to make the proposition. Wayne Mac Veagb is given credit for bringing about the present situation. The com missioners were informed of the new turn of affairs, and acquiesced in the proposed arrangement. The subject did not directly come up in the pub lic hearlng^yesterday, and the adjourn ment proposition was made ostensibly to permit both sides to complete their work of preparing documentary evi dence. Clarence 3. Darrow, of Chicago, one of Mitchell's attorneys, suggested that the miners be given a little more time to prepare their evidence. The min ers wanted to present the due bills, or wage statements, of thousands of min ers, running back for several years, and they found that the task of pre senting them in a proper manner was a stupendous one. They also wanted to carefully examine the company books and this, too, would take consid erable time. HOW THE .JUDGE LOOKED AT IT Idea Suits Ulin and He Suggests Adjust •weut Between the Disputants. Judge Gray remarked that the com mission was agreeable, and added a general condemnation of the testimony given so far, which, though interest lug, he said, and not absolutely value less, did not bear directly upon the points at issue. He also expressed the hope that an effort be made by the. parties to tlie dispute to come to an agreement, promising them the aid of the commission. I-Iis remarks general ly were a plea for an adjustment be tween the parties at issue. Two of the companies by their counsel asked time and approved of a ten days* ad journment the commission. This will be decided this afternoon. It is learned by the correspondent of the Associated 1'rcss that all the (imijianfrs itjive not yet assent ed to the proposed oul.sidc agreement, but that in all probability they will consent and continue to work as unit as they did during the strike. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company has not yet beeif. heard, from on the matter. Those which are said to be in the agreement scheme' are the Delaware, Lackawanna and.' Western, the Lehigh Valley, the Dela-. ware and Hudson and the Erie com pany, which controls the Pennsplvania Coal company and the Hillside Coal! and Iron company. It has been realized that at least two of the four demands of the miners-—* those for a uniform wage scale and'l the weighing of coal—cannot be satis factorily settled in the hearing room^'j but must be fixed up at the mines. The proposition to have the mine work-:} ers make contracts with their employ srs only, ^uid not as it is done in the bituminous states, where the operators-'! have Btate or district organizations which recognize the United Mine Workers, does not carry with it a rec ognition of that union, and on that -ground It is not- likely that the two lartiei out resort to tlie arbitration commis sion. The testimony-yesterday was mostly given by doctors, who were positive that mining conl wns a most unhealthy business. Dr. Roberts asserted that the situation during the late strike was state of war and that "both parties were intemperate." He thought $575 wns enough to maintain a United States standard of living for a family. QUEEN HELENA 18 ACCOUCHED Second Daughter Born to the Reigning Family of Italy—A Disappoint^ meut to the Public. ipwwwiyw ?ot TOM OCHILTP.EE VERY ILL Said To Be the Victim of a Weak Heart and Past All Hope at Hot Spring*, Va. •Hot' Springy Va., Nov. 22.—Colonel Thomtfs Ochiltree is critically ill here of heart trouble. There 1B no hopo COL. THOMAS F. OCHILTRUL for his recovery. He was sent here a fortnight ago from New York, in the hope that the change would be beneficial, but he came too late. The heart trouble is a result of penu monia contracted a year ago. Colonel Ochiltree is kept up entirely on heart stimulants. He has with him only a man servant and a trained nurse. Rome, Nov. 20.—Queen Helena was ac&uched of a daughter during the morning. The mother and child are an nounced-to be doing well. The new princess will be-named "Mafalda." The accouchement occurred a month earlier than was expected. The king was shooting on the Island of Monte Cristo' when he was suddenly sum moned home. He' immediately boarded a yacht and was landed, on the beach In the neighborhood of Rome. As there were no debarkation convenience the king was carried ashore on the backs of sailors. A motor car was in waiting and he soon reached the pal ace. The birth of another princess in stead of an heir to the throne is a great public disappointment United States Ambassador Meyer was the first outsider to personally con gratulate the king. The sovereign was in excellent spirits. He declared he was satisfied with* another' daughter. BOBBERS WERE ALL HINER8 Trying Their Hand at aNew Game—Ona .It Dead, the Others. Are ,a -f-'.''

Chicago, Nov. 21.—State's Attorney Deneen may take up the charges against H. B. Wickersham and present them to the present grand jury. It is estimated by the lawyers who have been tryiug to arrive at a settlement of Wiekersham's affairs that his short age is about $40,000. So far only $6, 000 is in sight toward the liquidating of these claims. Most of the sufferers are Italians, who for ten years have in trusted their savings to Wickersham, with implicit confidence. A meeting of lawyers has been called to consider the situation. Statesmen Arriving at Washington.

Des Moines, la., NOT. 24.—The Unit ed States Express company officials have,, it is asserted, been formally ap prised that the loss in the Davenport train hold-up on the Rock Island ap proximates ¥20,000. Chicago, Nov. 24.—General Manager C. A. Uoodnow of the Rock Island road, gave out he followingofficial statement of the Davenport hold-up: "Our No. It, leaving Chicago at 0:03 p. m. for Fort Worth, Tex., via Kan sas City, was stopped about a mile and a half west of West Davenport at midnight by a man displaying a red light, using a switch lamp taken from the west switch of .the yard in the vi cinity for that purpose. Cars Cat from Train. "Five men compelled the engineer and fireman to cut off the mall and baggage cars and run the two cars far ther west about one mile. The engin eer and fireman were then compelled at the point of revolvers to go to the express car and open the door. The baggageman and express man were ta ken from the cars to the engine and three men left to gunrd them and the engineer and fireman, while two blew open the Chicago safe of the United States Express company in the express car. All the contents of the safe were taken. The roof and side of the bag gage and express car were badly dam aged, about fifteen feet of the roof be ing entirely blown off. The train was detained two hours and ten minutes. The go$n engaged, in this robbery all wore masks, dark clothes and slouch hats and kept In the dark as much as possible. Description Is Very Weegnr., 'From that cause and owing to the excitement our employes are unable to give any description of the„men ex cept that one was a very tall, slim, raw-boned man, possibly 6 ft^ tall, and three were medium-sized men,' rather heavy, and one was a short, heavy man. "The police of Rock iBland and Dav enport were promptly notified and were very quickly on the ground, but could find no wagon tracks leading from the scene of the robbery. Tl.e supposition is that the robbers left the road and went to the north, cutting through a cornfield. The sheriff at Rock Island, with bloodhounds, wns promptly on tlie scene and every effort is being made to trace the robbers."

Chicago, Nov. 24.—The Ch&figo post oflice was the victim Saturday night of one of the most daring 'robberies that has ever been perpetrated in this city. Two mail sacks full of registered letters, were left in an unprotected wagon in front of the Masonic Temple while the mail carrier went into the building to gather mail. While he was gone the thief climbed into the wagon and drove off. A mile away he rifled the letters and two mileB farther away he turned the horse and rig loose. He Is supposed to have gotten $10,000. The street was full of people at the time, but no one seems to have no ticed the thief. The pollce^and fed eral authorities were notified^ less than two minutes after the robbery oc curred, but no trace of the robber has been secured.

WILD SIGHT AT IOWA CITY Several Students Receive Injuries, Proper ty Is Damaged and Police Force Booted. Iowa City, la., Nov. 24.—The worst class scrap in the history of the state university raged all night. Several students were injured, property loss approximating $700 resulted and the local police were routed. The fight started at the freshmen's dance in the Imperial hotel dining room wheu a sophomore threw a skunk through the window. Others bombarded the hotel with eggs, broke much plate glass and demolished costly bric-a-brac. The freshmen retaliated and a san guinary battle commenced. Policemen clubbed J. II. King and W. M. ICal ler, medical students, inflicting severe wounds, when other medical students routed the officers. Numerous revolver shots were tired, but none are believed to have taken effect. Although sever al students were hurt their injuries consisted simply of contusions. Dean Curran has ordered an investigation.

Pittsburg, Nov. 24.—All previous rec ords in the movement of cars were broken by t'ae railroads In this city and the great freight blockade that has existed here for weeks is practically lifted. It is estimated that during the forty-eight hours 920 trains, with a total of 46,300 cars, were moved. As a result of the efforts the tracks are in a less congested condition than for months, while the interchanging system has resumed its pormni condi tion, which admits of the roads hand ling the cars with less confusion. Itt was a busy day for the railroad people. All of the employes of the roads were pressed into service and given but short rests. The almost entire tie-up of the blast furnaces and steel mills of the Shen ango and Mahoning valleys caused the traffic managers to give preference, as far as possible, to the movement of the classes of freight upon which a contin uance of the operation of,the indus trial plants depends. The number of accidents to trainmen during the day was high. This Is attributed to the fact that a large number of new men wereengagedto fill out shuntingcreyra. F, ^,t,V5i.
