SUN WAS OBSCURED
By Smoke and Ashes From
Fires In Two States.
SEEMED TO THREATEN A STORM.
H??e Hanit" Over tbe City Like a
Pall, While the Adirondack*,
Catukllla and Pennsylvania
Hllla Crackle With Heat.
NEW YOttK, June 5? Smoke and
ashes from forest fires in this and
neighboring states obscured the sun as
though by some heavy yellowish mist,
and a pungent odor of burning wood
permeated the air.
The haze hung over the river and
harbor, somewhat impeding traffic, and
the trolley and elevated road service
was delayed.
New Yorkers awoke to sniff the air
suspiciously and to look up in wonder
ment at the thick haze that had crept
in the night upon the city. It was dif
ferent from the mists that come up
from the sea and was not unlike the
drift of vapor that floats away from a
great factory fire.
So the wise ones said, "Forest fires."
At this the incredulous scoffed, for
New York, as far as present memories
run, has never before smelled the
smoke of forest fires.
But the Adirondacks, the Catskills
and the mountains of Pennsylvania arc
crackling with the heat of burning tim
ber, and Long Island, too, has its con
flagrations.
Weather Forecaster Emery said the
peculiar conditions were the result of
a combination of slight mist, dust aris
ing from the overheated earth and,
most of all, the smoke drifting down
from the mpuntain fires. He said there
was no sign of rain in the phenome
non.
At first many people thought a storm
was coming; but, though the dawn was
brown and foreboding, there was no
taste of moisture in the air. It had
almost a sting such as the people of
Martinique got when Pelee was in
eruption. Vistas became dim, veiled by
an opalescent curtain. Many people
complained that their eyes were affect
ed by the peculiar conditions of the at
mosphere.
On this, the drought's forty-ninth
day, the outlook for rain is not en
couraging.
THE COAL MINERS.
President John Mltehell Spcaki For
Worker*.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 5. -
With regard to the probability of a re
sumption of the strike in the anthra
cite region of Pennsylvania President
John Mitchell of the mine workers was
unwilling to make any statement.
Concerning the chief points to the con
troversy that now seems likely to pro
voke a renewal of hostilities, whether
or not the men selected by the miners'
organization should be members of the
board of conciliation, as authorized by
the board of arbitration, he said:
"The statement that the question of
recognizing the United Mine Workers
was never submitted to the strike com
mission is entirely untrue. That was
one of the important awards in our fa
vor, the wording of it being that 'the
miners' organization'? which, of course,
is the United Mine Workers? 'should
have three representatives on the
board of conciliation, one for each dis
trict.' Naturally I appeared for the
anthracite coal workers before the
strike commission, and it was as pres
ident of the mine workers that I was
given the right to do so. The argu
ment of District President Fahey, in
which he says that it would be as log
ical for us to demand that each stock
holder of the coal companies be con
sulted with in regard to the selection
of the operators' members of the board
of conciliation as that all the miners
in the region vote on the men to repre
sent them is very sensible. However,
the award of the strike commission
specifically provides for that.
"It is true that conditions in the Wy
oming valley are very bad. Our re
ports are to the effect that the men are
compelled to work on Sundays and
that in few particulars have the opera
tors lived up to the decisions of the
strike commission. No, I do not wish
to anticipate the possibilities of an
other strike."
LEO WELL, BUT EXHAU8TED.
Hold* Conference Refrardlnff Arch
fclahop of Manila.
ROME, June 5.? With regard to the
reports that the pope is ill, it is learn
ed that the only trouble from which
he is suffering is exhaustion due to
overfatigue as a result of the recep
tions his holiness had held since Eas
ter, when the people were admitted in
private audience or to Pope Leo's pres
enoe to the number of 20,000. This is
the only reason for the suspension of
audiences.
The pope continues to see high offi
cials and had a long conference with
Cardinal Rampolla about the appoint
ment of an archbishop of Manila, for
which post there are three candidates,
Mgr. F. Z. Rooker, formerly secreta
ry of the apostolic Relegation at Wash
ington and now bishop of Jaro, Phil
ippine Islands; the Rev. Father J. J.
Harty, rector of St. Leo's, St. Louis,
and Thomas A. Hendrick of Roches
ter. The last named was proposed by
Cardinal Gibbons.
The pope will resume hla ordinary
audiences today.
Kalaer and Cmar Will Meet.
