that had led to the suspension of vork j
in the bituminous regions and present
ed the conditions of the miners who i
are taking part In the strike He did I
not propose anything in the way of
recommendations as to what the or
ganized labor of the country should do

Those Interested Shall Have Con

Pittsburg Pa Jury 27The long
lookedfor conference of the Plttsburg
coal operators which the joint arbitration
commission fully expects to adopt a plan
which will settle the bis miners strike
was called for 11 oclock this morning in
the courthouse The meeting was an
open one
I
TRUE UNIFORMITY
As yet the true uniformity plan
which Is being urged by the arbitration
commission Is the only one presented for
action by the conference
While the operators generally are apa
thetic and have little faith in the success
ful consummation of the commissions
Wish they are anxious to discuss and
adopt some plan which will put the min
ers to work True uniformity calls for
cash payments for every 2000 pounds oi
coal mined every two weeks abolishment
of compan stores and multiform screen
The operators In the thin vein coal say
the 14 cents difference in favor of the
thick vein coal Is too much and some go
as far as to sao it should be cut one
half This cut if attempted will be
fought bv the thick vein operators and
may be the first rock on whch the con
ference will split as all the other Mats
mentioned have been granted in former
conferences
There are 106 railroad mines in thp
Pittsburg district and these are operated
by S3 firms Thrteen of these are said
to mine and control almost 90 per cent
of the coal mined in the district
DEMPSTER PRESIDES
W P Murray called the meeting to or
der at 1130 a m bv nominating Alex
Dempster for chairman Mr Dempster
was chosen to preside
General John Little was chosen vice
president He made a short address
saying the board was here as citizens ana I
had no personal interest in the coal busi
ness They hoped by conciliation and I
mediation to bring about a settlement
between the contending factions State
lines had nothing to do with the ques
tion The operators had the powerto
settle this controversy As Plttsburg
goes so will go the other states
After electing Marshall H Reno secre
tary a committee was appointed to take
up te proposed uniformity agreement
revise it to suit the changed conditions
since Its first formulation and report to
the conference at 3 oclock
At 4 oclock the committee asked for
another hour and the meeting took a re
cess until 5 oclock when the committee
reported the old uniformity agreement
and the new clauses and preamble pre
pared by the visiting arbitrators
Tine report was read and Captain Steyt I
tler moved that it be received and the
committee discharged I
A MINORITY REPORT
Colonel Rend demanded recognition for
the hearing of a minority report He pre
faced the report with a few remarks on
what he terms the contention of the
meeting Coxmel Rend said he had been
misled by General Little as to the pur
pose of the meeting He understood that
it had been called with a view of hasten
ing a settlement of the strike and was
assured of that at a conference with the
general on Monday night When he got
to the meeting he learned that the strike
was not to be taken into consideration
or discussed In conection with uniformity
THE RESOLUTIONS i
The resolutions follow
Resolved That we favor the speedy I
adjustment of this strike and all ques
tions and controversies connected there
with by conciliation employed in a joint I
conference of miners and their employers
and falling by an adjudication a trbunal I
of arbitrators composed of three United
States judges or three other gentlemen
of national repute and In whom the en
tire country can repose confidence
Resolved That we favor the principle
and practice of uniformity in its true and
honest sense but we are unalterably l op
posed to It In the false and perverteu
sense in winch It is to be used to cloak
sham schemes and transparent frauds
Resolved That we favor true and hon
est weights and measures cash payments
and all other just and equitable methods
in the prosecution of the coal business
Resolved That we denounce as a foul
falsehood and a glaring outrage the
charges and insinuations so often pub
licly made that general dishonesty has
been practiced in weights and measures
in the mining industry of western Penn
sylvania
Resolved That the effort to fasten on
the public mind these slanderous and
atrocious charges a moral crime and
that we denounce the guilty author of
th n accusation as a moral criminal vio I
lating ods holy commandment Thou
shak neighbor not bear false witness against thy I I
Resolved That we are willing and
ready to advance the wages of the miners
but find ourselves unable to da this to the
fui extent deman3ed by them 25 per
cent above the prices that were paid I
prior to the strike and now being paid by
one of the largest coal companies in
western Pennsylvania and which com j
pany presents the chief abuacde to the 1 i
settlement of the present conflict
After the resolutions had been read the
chairman asked to have some portions
eliminated but the coonel refused em j
phatically to allow a single word to be
dropped and after a fiort contention I
gmageCO
withdrew from the conference
The meeting then adjourned until 10
oclock tomorrow morning Tonight Gen I I I
eral LittJe and others called on Colonel
Rend at his hotel and asked that he re I I
consider hs acton and enter the confer I
ence again to insure success of the meeting I
i
inpr He replied that he would cordially
indorse and cooperate in any plan the r i
conference agreed upon if 50 per cent of I
the district operators would give their I
consent to the same He believes It Im
possble to secure 37 per cent for uniforn
ity as Mr De Armitt demands and Js
wllinpr to do as 50 per cent of the oper I
ators wish
IN SECRET CONFERENCE
I
Tonight General Little and Judge
Owens are in secret conference fit the
Duquesne club with Secretary William
Warner and Organizer Cameron Miller I
Nothing definite can be learned as to the
g ted foa b
rt
subject under discussion but it is be
lieved that It has reference to having
the mners represented at the confer
ence tomorrow as there seems to be con I
siderable dissatisfaction with Mr De Ar
mitts announcement today that the con
ference has no connection with the strike
and is merely for the purpose of estab
lishing uniformity Many of the oper
ators think with Colonel Rend that the
meeting should devise some means to set
tle the trike as well as to provide for
uniformity Reports to the miners of
ficials from throughout the district show
that everything is quiet All plans are
being held in abeyancepending the action

THE MILITARY POST
Legal Complications Discussed By
the Cabinet
Washington July 27Legal compli
cations which have presented them
selves may yet intervene to prevent the
detail of a company of United States
troops to Alaska to assist in maintain
ing the post in the Klondyke region
The complications presented themselves
as soon as the subject was first
broached and have been the source of
some annoyance to the officials who
feel that a law presented to the body of
men there is essential to the well being
of the people who are flocking to the
gold country No doubt appears to be
entertained of the power of the presi
dent to send a body of soldiers but the
question is raised as to what authority
they will have after being located Can
they be ordered out to quell disturb
ances without an order from the presi
dent Can the judge of a court or a
marshal be clothed with authority to
dispatch the soldiers to the scene of
trouble Even if this power rested
with the governor of Alaska he is lo
cated at Sitka a great distance from
the gold region and by the time his
authority could be obtained the harm
would be done
This question was discussed between
the president and Secretary Alger at
the White House tonight but no de
cision was reached Secretary Alger
thinks the matter wilPbe settled be
fore the presidents departure from the
city tomorrow
Washington July 27The principal
topic of discussion at todays cabinet
meeting was the legal aspect of the pro
posed establishment of a military post in
Alaska cold fields In some Quarters
there Is doubt as to the power of the ex
ecutive to establish a post without spe
cific authorization tty congress but the
weight of opinion appeared to favor the
exercise of such a right by the executive
Al
as an emergency measure Secretary
ger already has made the necessary
preparations for carrying out at once the
plans to establish the new post
The commander of the troops will be
Captain P H Ray a man well known
for his soldierly ability and having a
fine reputation as a leader of expedi
tions having established the United
StatA relief station at Point Barrow the
farthest north In Alaska He wintered
at this exposed and frigidv place and is
well acquainted with the wants of the
projected expedition Captain Ray at
present Is at Fort Russell in Wyo
i A
< q <
ming C It is probable that he will be
joined in the expedition By Captain
Abercrombie who volunteered yesterday
ty telegraph for such service The latter
said he had GO picked men for the service
and the department may avail itself of
these to make up the quota of 50 men
which will constitute the garrison of the
new post The post Itself will be estab
lished near CirClty
Thi North American Transportation
and Trading company has offered to
transport the ttoops to Alaska and to
land them at their destination for 150 per
man and SSO per ton for freight The
steamer will sail from Seattle on Aug 5
the latest I date that will ensure the safe
arrival of the party at Circle City before
tho winter season begins The steame
will proceed to St Michaels and there
will tranship to a river steamer Orders
have been sent to San Francisco to pro
vide everything necessary in the way of
ample supplies and food and heavy win

ISllV R LOWER THAN EVER BEfORE1
New York July 27 Silver was lower today than ever before Until the
arch 3 and 5 1891 after
decline of recent date the lowest prices were those of March
the closing of the Indian mints The opening quotations today were Bar sil
ver 5S ½ Mexican dollars 457 and the closing 5S14 and 45 respectively The
local dealers can assign no other reason than lack of demand There being no
I special orders for silver for any European country for mintage and India not
t being in the market they regard the fall as natural
J The Evening Posts s London financial cablegram today has the following
f The fall in silver is exciting much interest The impulse seems to come from I
Aiinerican selling but the flatness of Chinese exchange exceeds the extent war
ranted by the fall in silver It believed heavy interest payments by China
abroad partly accounts forit I understand that negotiations are proceeding
for a further issue of the Chinese loan of 16000000 butapparantly nothing
definite Is done yet
The total amount of silver shipped to Europe today was 712000 ounces
City of Mexico July 27The drop in silver announced today created much
comment here In financial and business circles The exchange on New York
rose to 118 and even on the street to 110 and London exchange was quot
ed at 22 pence If silver remains down the loss to corporations having gold
interest tomeet abroad will be large and at the present basis gold Interest on r
government loans abroad will require 1000000 more in silver per annum
Many orders for goods abroad have been cancelled merchants desiring to
see how the exchange is going It Is generally believed that the sudden fall
in silver is due to the unloading by large bullion holders coupled with new
gold discoveries and the continued small demand in India for silver The
fluctuation In exchange does more harm than low prices as it makes impos
I
sible all calculations
The continued low price of silver will revive the talk of adopting the gold
standard which would be ruinous to the manufacturing interests Bankers
while anticipating still lower prices for silver believe there will be a re
action to a price that will permit something lik steadiness exchange and
J
stability in business operations I

THE PRE IDENT
Administration Bothered By
the Bitter Factional
Fight
PROLONGED SEASON
OF WEARY WAITING

George Q Cannons Visit Dis

the Cannon Influence For Repub I

I
gry Offlceseekers Would Enjoy a
Feast Appointments Hung Up
Indefinitely
Special to The Herald
Washington July 81 There will be
a still longer season of weary waiting j
before Utah appointments are made
The general impression here is that
Major McKinley will not follow the ex
ample of Cleveland and that few com
missions will issue during his sojourn
along Lake Champlain
The president is Having more trouble
in Utah and Nevada than any of the
far western states He has disposed of
the patronage of their neighbors in a
lump to the Republican senators Wol
cott Shoup and Carter with the result
that there has not been the slightest
friction and that nearly all the places
are disposed of in those states
It is claimed that the administration 1 I
through Attorney General McKenna 1
has suggested to Governor Thomas and
through a representative of Mr Han
na to Senator Brown that the two
factions of the party compose their dif
I ferences before any places will be given
lout Senator Brown told several friends
here on the occasion of his last visit
that he thought Lindsay Rogers would
win out for district attorney but that
other places were in great doubt
DISTURBED BY CANNON
The recent visit of George Q Cannon
here has disturbed things a great deal
McKinley served in congress with Can
non and although he voted to throw
him out of the house has always been
impressed with the political sagacity of
the exdelegate Hanna and the presi
I dent are both impressed with the idea
that Cannon won the first Republican
victory In 1S95 by disciplining Thatcher
I and Roberts and that If the Republic
ans ever win there again it will be
because of President Cannons influ
ence
The marshalship will undoubtedly be
the first place filled in Utah as the
term of Nat Brigham has expired It
is believed that if Cannon Thomas and
Brown could agree on a Utah slate the
names would come out of the hopper
with a rush j
