MAY BE ADJUSTED.
Operators and Miners to Set
tle Their Dispute.
An Increase In Wages, a Nine Hour
Day and Trade Agreements llr
tween the t'ompanles by Whom
They are Employed.
Seranton, Pa., Nov. 10. —President
Mitchell, for the fourth successive
day, occupied the witness stand dur
ing .the two sessions of the strike
commission and was cross examined
by three attorneys for as many coal
companies. While a considerable
amount of information for the en
lightenment of the commissioners
was brought out, the day was a rath
er quiet one, compared with those
which have preceded it. The arbitra
tors are growing restless in conse
quence of the long cross examination
which apparently does not bring out
the facts as quickly as the commis
sion would like to have them. Sever
al times during the course of yester
day's session. Chairman Gray remind
ed the attorneys of the value of time
and suggested that cross examination
be limited to new features of those
questions that have already been gone
over. The lawyers assured the com
mission that they, too, were anxious
to expedite matters, and would do
along without injuring their own case.
Mr. MacVeagu, who began his cross
examination of Mr. Mitchell on Sat
urday. concluded at 11 o'clock yester
day. The distinguished attorney cen
tered most of his energies in trying
to break down the miners' reasons
for asking for a yearly agreement
with the companies on hours of labor,
wages and other conditions, which, if
made, would be recognition of the
union.
Mr. Gowan and Mr. Ross questioned
Mr. Mitchell principally regarding
conditions existing at the collieries
of the companies they represent.
These questions were more or less
technical. Mr. Mitchell's answers, as
n rule, differed very little from the
reasons given in his preliminary :;tafe
ment to the commission for the im
proved conditions for the mine work
ers.
Seranton, Pa.. Nov. 20.—After being
on the stand for four and a half days.
President Mitchell, of the miners'
union, completed his testimony at
noon yesterday before the anthracite
strike commission. During his ordeal
he was examined by his own attor
ney, and those of the Erie Company,
the Delaware & Hudson, the Dela
ware. Lackawanna & Western, the Le
high Valley and the Philadelphia &
Heading Coal and Iron Co., and also
by the attorneys of the independent
operators. He was followed on the
witness stand by the Rev. Peter Rob
erts, D. D., of Mahanoy City, Pa., a
Congregational minister, who has
studied the anthracite coal industry
and has written a book on the sub
ject. He was still on the stand when
the commission adjourned for the
day.
One of the most important things
brought out during the cross exam
ination of President Mitchell yester
day was his emphatic declaration that
the miners were opposed to separat
ing the bituminous miners from the
anthracite workers, thus creating two
organizations. He made this reply
to a question of ex-Congressman Si
mon P. Wolverton, counsel for the
Heading Company, as to whether it
would not be better to have separate
organizations. Mr. Mitchell's answer
•was that "it would not be possible or
desirable. The anthracite mine work
ers have had independent organiza
tions in the past. They have had sev
eral. They have gone. They are not
here now, and the men do not want
any more of their organizations togo
the same way."
The non-union men, that is, those
•who remained at work during the
strike, were made a party to the arbi
tration plan yesterday by their coun
sel agreeing to make public the names
of the men who petitioned the com
mission. When the attorneys for the
"non-striking" workmen, as Chair
man Gray designated them and who
number about 2,000, made a demand
to the commission for a 20 per cent,
increase in wages with no reduction
in hours, their attorneys desired to
withhold the names of the persons
they represented. The commission,
however, decided they could not be a
party to such a plan of secrecy.
In connection with the non-union
feature of the investigation, Mr.
Mitchell announced that he is also
representing thousands of non-union
men who struck with the unionists
and that all the workmen would abide
by the award of tin' arbitrators "or
get out of the union."
Seranton, l'a., Nov. 21.—The eco
nomic and sociological features of the
anthracite coal industry and the ef
fect employment in and about the
mines has upon the health of the
mine workers were the principal sub
jeets brought before the arbitration
committee yesterday by the attor
neys for each side of the controversy.
While there was an entire ;Asencc of
oratory or brilliant cross examination
which marked the proceedings during
the last few days, the cross examina
tion. nevertheless, elosely held the at
tention of the commissioners and
•they gained much information on the
several features touched upon by wit
nesses.
The afternoon session was particu-

larly interesting because it brought
out much expert testimony on the
question of the health of the mine
workers. Three physicians who have
practiced in Seranton or Wilkesbarre,
took the stand for the miners and in
substance testified that the occupa
tion of a mine worker was "very un
healthful" and shortened his life. One
physician, Dr. Frank P. Lenahan, of
Wilkesbarre, who says he has hail a
long experience among mine workers,
testified that fully «J!i per cent, of the
men wo work in the mines are anae
mic. T -?ir health is impoverished and
their g\ eral condition is below par,
thus dec, sing their earning powers.
The principal illustration offered by
the miners, the physicians said, were
•tiie miner's asthma, rheumatism, lum
bago and sciatica. The miner's asth
ma comes from coal dust, powder
smoke and vitiated air.
John O'Malley, of Seranton. said
that at. a post mortem he had seen
miners' lungs as black as anthracite
itself and Dr. Lenahan testified he
had personal knowledge of a man
coughing up coal dust nine years after
he left, the mines.
The cross examination of the liev.
Dr. Peter Uolierts, D. D., of Malianoy
City, l'a., ended yesterday. Copious
extracts from his book were read and
placed on record. Ex-Congressman
Simon I'. Wolverton, counsel for the
Heading Co., read much of the matter
pertaining to violence in the 11)00
strike, and also read articles written
by Dr. Huberts during the progress of
the late contest in which he described
in strong language the acts of vio
lence, intimidation and boycotting
committed during that suspension.
His articles spoke of some of these
acts as "brutal outrages," and lie also
branded the union's action in calling
out the steam men in .Tune as "fool
hardy." In explaining his articles Dr.
Koberts said that he did not wish to
infer that the organization was re
sponsible for all the lawlessness com
mitted.
In attempting to show that care
lessness of the miners contributes
materially to the danger of his occu
pation. Chairman Gray interposed
with the remark that a margin of
carelessness in<*lent to human na.ture
must be taken into account when es
timating the dangerousness of any
hazardous occupation.
Seranton, l'a., Nov. 22. —The mine
workers, through their representa
tives, have agreed with tile mine own
| crs to attempt to adjust the differ
ences existing between them outside
the anthracite coal strike commission.
The proposition was .made on a com
promise basis and negotiations, it is
expected, will be at once entered up
on, with a reasonable hope of settle
ment with the aid of the arbitrators.
The rough proposition, which is to
form the basis of negotiations, Ls a
10 per cent, increase in wages, a nine
hour day, and trade agreements be-
I tween the miners and the company Ijy
whom they are employed. The only
| one of the four demands not touched
! upon is that, of the weighing of coal
by the legal ton. While both sides
have expressed the willingness to set
tle their differences among them
selves, it is otto be construed that
it carries with it the acceptance of
the terms proposed. They are men
tioned only as a basis, it is under
stood, from which a settlement is to
lie effected. It is possible that the
| foundation already laid can be
I wrecked by either party holding out
j too strongly against some question
and thus leave the whole matter in
! the hands of the commissioners, who,
! in the meantime, will act as a sort of
a board of conciliation, rather than
I as a board of arbitration.
few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made at an outside
settlement until it was practically so
intimated by Judge Gray, the ohair
; man, of the commission, who read a
! carefully prepared announcement
; from the "bench." The move, one of
| the most important in the whole liis
' tory of the coal strike, created a mild
■ sensation when it became known. The
| surprise was all the greater when it
! will be remembered that numerous
! persons 112 rom the president of the
United Stifles down and that many
organizations from the national civic
i federation to the small boards of
trade of the mining towns failed to
I bring the two panties together. It
|is said-it was all brought about by
! both sides seeing that the proeeed
; ings before the commission would be
; interminable, and that in the inter
j mingling of the lawyers for both sides
j the outside agreement proposition
i was broached and taken up.
It is generally believed that the op
erators were the first to make the
proposition. Wayne MacVeagn, who
(carried on such a brilliant cross-ex
amination of President Mitchell, is
given credit for bringing about the
preset*! situation. The commission
j ers was Informed of the new turn of
i affairs lasit night, and acquiesced in
} the proposed arrangement.
Clarence S. Harrow, of Chicago, one
of Mr. Mitchell's attorneys, brought
• the matter out when, near the close
of yesterday's session, he suggested
that the miners be given a little more
1 time to prepare itheir evidence.
In order to give all parties an op
portunity to confer on the new state
of affairs an adjournment was taken
at 12:45 until this morning.
It was agreed lust night by the
miners' representatives and the at
torneys for the coal companies to ask
ithe commission to adjourn to-day
until Wednesday, December .'I. It is
likely the request will be granted.

Washington, Nov. 22. —The Christian
community of the Universal Hrotlier
'hood, at Crowsland, Assiniboa, Can
ada, have sought a home In this con if
try but have 'been officially notified
that the community cannot settle on
government domain. The community.
represented by Ivan Ponomaren unu
others, forwarded a letter to the pres
ident asking- for a refuge in the Uni
ted States. The letter was referred
•to the interior department. Assistant
Commissioner lliehards, of the gener
al land office, has forwarded a reply
announcing that they cannot locate
on ithe public la .ds of the United
States. Mr. Richards says:
"In said letter you state that your
community numbers more than 7,000
and that in 1808, and 189!), you emi
grated from Russia to Canada because
the Russian government would not
•permit you to live according to the
dictates of your religion. You have
discovered that although in Canada
there is religious freedom, still it is
not what you were in search of: that
you yielded obedience only to the
commands of the spirit of good, in
your hearts, and cannot submit to
any human laws or become the sub
jects of any sovereign; that you are
not compelled to bear arms or per
form military service in Canada, but
must become subjects of Great Bri
tain and therefore you cannot obtain
land on which to live without obeying
'all the institutions and laws of Can
ada.' You therefore ask that you
may be given refuge in this country
or on land under the jurisdiction of
this government, where you may live
by the labor of your bands, and where
you 'shall not be forced to obey hu
man ordinances or be asked to be
come subjects of any one except the
good God.' You state that you use
no meat or milk, but only vegetables
and fruit; that you Jiave no domestic
animals and all your work is done by
your own labor, and ask only for so
much land as you can cultivate by
manual labor without the assistance
of animals, etc.
"In reply 1 have to advise you that
the public lands of the United States
are disposed of only to citizens of
the United States, or to those who
have declared their intention to be
come such citizens."
THE WATER CURE.

Friar Wltli Falul KUW't-A Peculiar
Cane*
Washington, Nov. 22. —The secre
tary of war yesterday sent to the at
torney general the papers in the case
of Father Augustine who died from
the effects of water cure administered
by soldiers of a Vermont regiment
while serving in tfle "Philippines. The
case has been thoroughly investigated
by the judge advocate general of the
army upon the charges brought by
Charles Francis Adams and others of
what was known as the Lake George
con ference.
It cannot be found that any person
now serving in the United States army
was responsible in any way for the
death of the friar, and therefore the
persons cannot be tried by court mar
tial. It Is expected that following
the precedents growing out of other
wars the attorney general will ren
der an opinion that neither the courts
in this country nor those in the Phil
ippines have any jurisdiction over the
men or officers who have been dis
charged from the army.
Capt. Hrownell, a volunteer officer
who was in command of the troops
who administered the water cure, lias
acknowledged that the cure was ad
ministered and that the man died.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Commissioner Jones' Iteport Advo

t'linrge of Superintendents of Train
ing Schools*
New York, Nov. 22. —Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Jones, in his annual
report, estimates that, the govern
ment from its foundation to„ lsyo
spent $845,275,290 in fighting, subdu
ing and controlling the Indians of the
country, and $240,000,000 for the edu
cation and care of their children.
The report advocates that agencies
and portions of agencies be placed
under the charge of bonded superin
tendents of training schools, a policy
already started wherever practicable,
and according to the commissioner,
giving better administration than
when agencies were under the control
of political fanatics. The total cost
of the Indian schools during the fiscal
year was $3,437,785, or sl3s per cap
ita. This a.mouut maintained 249
schools, with an enrollment of 24,434
pupils, and in addition a number of
pupils at the Hampton, Ya., institute,
and at public schools.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Large Demand for Staple
Lines of Merchandise.
Iron and Steel Industry la Active-*
Heavy Dry Uooda Needa Stlmulu*
of Cold Weather '
New York, Nov. 22. R. (J. Dun &
Co.'.s weekly review says:
Voluntary increases in wages by;
some of the largest railway systems
in the country bear eloquent testi
mony to the amount of business han
dled in.the past and emphasize the
confidence of officials in continued
heavy traffic. Moreover, by this ad
dition of large sums 'to the purchas
ing power of railway employes there
is assurance of a large demand for
all staple lines of merchandise. Tem
porarily. sales of seasonable lines of
wearing apparel are retarded by mild
weather, but this loss will be fully
made up when low temperature be
comes general. Preparations for hol
iday trade arc on an ..unprecedented
scale, especially at interior points.
There is no relief as to the congestion
of railway traffic nor any immediate
prospect of free movements at the
points of most serious blockade. Coal
freight is steadily gaining, and ail
railway earnings thus far reported
for November exceed last year's by
5.9 per cent, and -those of 1900 by 15.9
per cent.
Orders are now coming forward for
iron and steel products that have
been held back many months in ex
pectation of an easier market. In
stead of making concessions, however,
producers ask premiums for early de
livery and hesitate to accept con
tracts where material and fuel are
not in sight. Xo relief is reported as
to the movement of coke, nor is
anticipated for some time to come.
Plans for constructive work are
now increasing, and a very large ton
nage of structural material will be
required. Activity is notable at works
making agricultural implements, bolts
and kindred lines. Recent reductions
in prices of a few of the lighter forms
stimulated dealings to a fair degree.
Heavy lines of dry goods .and foot
wear need the stimulus of cold
weather. A fairly steady demand is
reported fnr staple cotton goods, but
buyers are taking only for immediate
requirements.
Orders for spring shoes are coming
forward freely, and t.liere is supple
mentary buying of winter goods on a
moderate scale.
CUBA'S TRADE.
Olllclal Itrport of "Uintntor Squlors
llrSHrdlug Our Trade Willi That
Island.
Washington, Nov. 22. Minister
Squid's, at Havana, has forwarded to
the state department the official re
port of the foreign commerce of Cuba
for May and June, 1902 and a state
ment of the trade with the United
States in .7 line, 1902, as compared
with other countries.
The minister notes a decrease in the
sugar trade for the first six months
of 1902, as compared with the same
period of 1901. of 143,000 tons. To off
set this, however, there is an increase
of 315,000 tons held in storage in the
ho]>e of better prices.
The report shows that Cuba gave
to the United States 44 per cent, of
her import and 74 per cent, of her
export trade. Nearly all of Cuba's
fruit and sugar was marketed in the
United States last June as well as 5®
per cent, of the island's tobacco.
The United States almost entirely
supplied Cuba with wheat flour, corn,
crude oil, coal and meats, with the
exception of jerked beef. Spain and
Canada supplied large quantities of
potatoes, onions, hams and butter,
which Minister Squiers says should
come from the United States or lie
supplied by the home market. The
minister says our live stock trade
should be increased as the tariff pro
visions are favorable and cattlemen
prefer American stock.
Cuban imports from the United
•States for the first six months of 1902
shows a reduction of 12 percent, from
the corresponding period of ISS9. Im
ports from Spain increased 2 per cent,
in the same period.
