OPPIOIAU PHRMN OP OOUNTY ANP OITY.
WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20,1902.
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.

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

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.

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.

•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.

here yesterday afternoon.
Poor People His Victims.
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.

Well Paid.
OFFICIALBEFOBT OF THE AFFAIR

Train Robbing.
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

two minutes after the robbery oc
curred, but no trace of the robber has
been secured.
Among the packages the thief got
were several of stocks, etc., intended

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.
FREIGHT BLOCKADE LIFTED
Ballroads Break Frevlous*Becords, 40,
360 Cars Being Moved in For
ty-Eight Hours.
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

Bureaucratlo Machine.
Chicago, Nov. 24.—The Salvation
Army, labor unions, and the Greek
church were the three targets at which
Dowie hurled his shafts at the Audi
torium. Of General Booth and his
army Dowie said:
"Any army that fifclds an indepen
dent position and is amenable neither
to secular nor ecclesiastical law is a
danger to the commonwealth. The
original idea which formed the basis
of the Salvation Army when that great
and maguificent woman, Katherine
Booth, was living has been lost sight
of and "only a crumbling skeleton has
remained.
"The army ie merely a military body,
headed nominally by a weak and in
capable old man. but in reality a clique
of heartless, unscrupulous, and schem
ing martinets, who have made the
army a bureaucratic machine, gov
erned by endless rules and regula
tions."
