By the United Press.
AVnshlngton, Nov. 13.
Thero seems to be a hitch In the pro
posed United States mediation In the
Chinese-Japanese war. It Is under
stood that mi notification has yet been
received from Japan of the acceptance
of the United States otlicer of media
tion, though that proposition was
cabled to Minister Pun. to be present
ed to the government at Toklo on Nov.
6. China, to whom, through Minister
Denby, the same proposition was made
on the same day, is said to have given
a reluctant assent, as It is understood;
hamperd by conditions which do not
stem to have been compiled with.
Frequent Interviews have been had
within the. past few days between
Secretary Oresham and the Chinese and
Japanese ministers, but whatever may
have been accomplished by these con
ferences, it Is quite clear today that no
agreement has been arrived at which
contemplates a suspension of hostili
ties on the part of Japan, and no such
agreement would seem to be Im
mediately in prospect. There Is an im
pression prevailing in diplomatic circles
that the offer of mediation on the part
of the United States may fail of Its ob
ject. London, Nov. IS. The Shanghai cor
respondent of the Central News says
that the Emperor of China received the
foreign ministers today within the pre
cincts of Pekln palace.
LI HungChang's vicissitudes have had
a noteworthy effect upon the popular

Tsln and pasted on the walls represents
lilin on the back of a tortoise with a
cannon under his right arm sinking a
Japanese cruiser. Another shows him
as a tlsh on the point of being hooked.

Yokahoma, Nov. 15. The newspapers
here resent Great Britain's offers of
Intervention, which they regard as en
tirely a movement in behalf of China.
They say that Great Britain's influence
In the east Is placed In Jeopardy by this
offer, which wounds Japanese feeling.
The newspapers of this city, assum
ing, apparently, that the reports of the
capture of Port Arthur by' the Japanese
were untrue, say that the defences of
the place are reported to be stronger on
the land side than on the sea front.
The Japanese expert that, if the Chl
, nse make any defence, the assault will
be bloody.

Store Knds His Own Life.
By the United Press".
Pittsburg. Nov. 13. William H. Daw
son, a merchant of Smith's Ferry, near
here, was fatally shot yesterday by a
trap gun set In his store to shoot burg
lurs. The store has been burglarized
several times of late, und every at
tempt to capture the thieves has
proved futile. Dawson arranged a
loaded shotgun with a system of wires
attached so that a person walking
about In the store at night would dis
charge the gun and receive the loads
from both barrels.
Yesterday morning as he was opening
the store for business he accidentally
tripped on one of the wires and was
fatally shot. One arm was nearly torn
off and his abdomen was terribly lac
crated. He died on the train while
being brought to a hospital in this city.

l.otidon, Nov. 15. Speaking at Glas
gow last night, Trim Minister Itose
Vry stated that the 'Liberal pro
gramme would include Scotch and
Welsh disestablishment and local veto.
He declared that he was not a single
chamber man, but that he did not de
spair of solving the problem which
America, France and Hungary had
solved, to the perfect satisfaction of
their respective people.
Lord Rosbery's reference to the
house of lords Is variously interpreted.
The Times, in a leader, says it thinks
it indicates that nothing will be done
prior to an appeal to the country. The
Iuily News says that the (speech dis
poses altogether of the Idle rumor that
the goverment intends to dissolve par
liament at an early date. The Graphic
approves of Lord Rosebery'a suggested
reform of the house of lords, but is sus
picious of his intentions while the terms
of the resolution that will deal with the
matter are undisclosed.
SOVEREIGN'S ADDRESS.
The Master Workman Advises Consolida
tion of Labor Organizations and Advo
cates the Abolition of .Militia.
By the United Press.
New Orleans, Nov. 15. Immediately
after the opening of the afternoon ses
sion of- the Knights of Labor, Grand
Master Workman Sovereign delivered
his annual address, which was an ex
haustive and elaborate review of the
work of the order from its inclpiency.
lie attributed the decrease in the
membership of the order to the depres
sion In business circles, prevalent bank
ruptcy, low wages and enforced Idle
ness of the laboring class.
He reviewed his action of last Janu
ary, when he secured the services of
Judge Cole and filed u. bill In the district
court of the District of Columbia, set
ting forth special grievances of his
order and protesting against the issu
ance of bonds by the secretary of the
treasury. He characterized the writ
of injunction from the United States
Circuit court for the Eastern district of
Wisconsin as a "despotic Injunction."
Referring to the American Railway
union aDUlation, -Mr. Sovereign advised
a consolidation with this as well as
with other labor organizations. His re
view of the Pullman strike terminated
In a severe criticism of Major General
Schofleld and the recommendations of I
that officer for an increase of the armv
together with the action of "Chicago's
millionaire aristocracy who were per
mitted to present a stand of colors to
the Fifteenth Infantry," which he said
was an Indication of an "uneasy desire
to subjugate labor through the mili
tary powers of the nation."
He urged that the assembly tuke
strong grounds against an increase of
the military forces of the nation and
they "advocate a decrease in the regu
lar army and the abolition of the state
militia, for from them are coming to
the surface the sentiments of a mill
tury despotism."

Boulder, Colo., Nov. Ij.
A forest fire which was started from
a camp tire lust evening has been rag
lii all night and today north of the
mining camp of Gold Hill, a town of 500 !
inhabitants, fifteen miles from here.
Fifty people came into Boulder this
afternoon In wagons from Gold Hill,
mostly women and children. They re
port that the business men and miners
were carrying what good and prop
erty they could into the mining tun
nels and had abandoned hope of saving
thc.lr stores and dwellings. All the
buildings at Camp Talcott, a short dis
tance from Gold Hill, were burned ex
cept the stamp mill. The fire has
reached the western portion of Gold Hill
burning the mill of the Trusslan mine.
Several finch houses were burned
this morning, two men being badly
burned.
At a p. in. the fire was spreading
toward the town of Copper Rock. The
gravity of the case Is fully appreciated
here in Boulder, and the utmost excite
ment prevails. It Is believed many
small camps will be burned. The resi
dents of Gold Hill who have not come
to Boulder have assembled on the top
of Horsefel mountuln and are watching
the progress of the flames as they con
sume their former homes. The wind Is
blowing furiously and drives the fire
before It In large sheets of Hume.
The property loss will amount to over

THE .OPERATORS ACT.
Proposed Pluns Culculuted to bring the
Currying Corporations to Terms with
Individual Mine Owners.
By the United Press.
New York. Nov. 1.3. It was learned
today that tho general members of the
Individual Anthracite Coal Operations
association at their meeting yesterday
.adopted y,'e following resolution:
Whereas, The Individual operators on
the line of the Lehigh V'alely having
consistently restricted their coal ship
ments for the general good of the coal
interest, and this course having, fulled
to call forth, so far, co-operation on
the part of the other coal mining Inter
ests, therefore a committee from the
board of managers of the Anthracite
Coal Operators' itssoolutlou represent
ing the shippers of tho Lehigh Yulley,
request the Lehigh Valley Coul compuny
to meet tip? market and sell their coal
at the best Mice obtainable ut any and
ull points in order that line and the
tidewater prices may be in harmony.
Thomas (ireen, secretary of the indi
vidual Operators'
association, asserted
that in case the price of coal at tide
water points becomes so low that it
precludes the possibility of n fuir profit
to the producers, that t'oxe Bros. & i'oi
wlll in future give to the manufacturers j
and deulers using and selling unlhra
dte coal at all points the benefit of
New York tidewater prices, and will
hereafter quote for shipments to Inte
rior and Hue points the same prices at
the mines as the New Vork.prlces, less
the freight.
The Individual anthracite coal opera
tors think this policy will bring the
coul carrying corporations to a real
izing sense of their obligations to other
producers, und that, at least, It will
prevent the commercial Iniquity of forc
ing a dealer in an interior town to pay
50 cents per ton for the same quality
and the same quantity of anthracite
coal, more thun a dealer In a seaport
town has to pay, simply because the
interior dealer is not protected by tide
water point argument. Mr. Green
further said that the enforcement of
such a policy as contemplated by tip?
Individual operators would, In a single
year, make a difference of ten million
dollars In the receipts of the coal carry
ing and owners' corporation.

By tho United Press.
Muskogee, I. T., Nov. 13. A courier
hus Just arrived from the Arkansas bot
toms and reports that he, by chance,
ran into the Cook gang In their quar-
tern. They received him without fear
of their whereabouts being reported to
the officers. A number of farmers who
live near the rendezvous of the gang
have Just arrived and reported to United
States Attorney Jackson the situation,
and have asked that they be commis
sioned and permitted to lead twenty
deputy marshals against the outlaws.
A plan of operation has been suggested
by United Stutf-s Attorney Jackson,
who, while United States attorney in
Mexico, successfully planned the cap
ture of scleral desperadoes in that
country.
The posse was given full authority
and at once started for the gang's
quarters. As the farmers are familiar
with the country In which the bandits
are hiding, the report of a battle is ex
pected soon unless news of the plan is
carried to the gang.

BASE BALL HATES MEET
Members of the National and Eastern
Leagues in Session.
ABOUT- PERCENTAGE SYSTEM
The l ittle Clubs Give I p Rich Kcvcnue.
Uuffalo's Club Will Hemaln in the I a st
em League -.Air. Powers Vouches
for the I'ncertuin Club,
By the United Press.
New York, Nov. 13. The corridors of
the Fifth Avenue hotel were crowded
again with base ball men when tho
National league begun the second day
of its annual fall meeting. All of the
members were present.
President Young was seen by u
United Press reporter Just before he
called the meeting to order today and
emphatically denied that here hud been
any suggestion of a split, or that there
was possibility of any such uctlon on
the part of the members of the league.
"There is no foundation whatever," he
said, "for such a report. Tho twelve
elul that form the league ure hound
together for ten years, and the idea of
u split has never been contemplated,
und Is mere. Idle talk."
The western delegates sat around the
hotel discussing the question of divi
sion In the league with much earnest
ness. They all said there was nothing
whatever in tho reported split in tho
National league. In connection with
the S-club league rumor, It was said
that If possible a place was to be made
in the league for the Buffalo dub, now
of the Eastern league.
This rumor of Bufl'ulo's entering tins
National league was positively denied
this morning by President Powers, of
the Eustern league. "Buffalo will stay
in the F.aslern league," said Mr. Pow
ers. "She Is making more money than
she would as a sixth or seventh place
club in the National. Besides, did she
desire to withdraw from the Eastern
und enter the National league, she could
not. She bus agreed and arranged to
stay where she Is."
1 he Perceuiugc System.
The greater portion of today's meet
ing of the National Base Ball league
was taken up in adjusting the percent
age system. The big dubs did ull In
their power, but could not make the
small clubs yield to their u and 40
per cent, proposition. This scheme hu'i
to be finally abandoned and another
tack taken. This was to strike out
Section 4 of the constitution, which re
quires each dub to put 10 per cent, of
their receipts of each game Into the
general fund that was divided among
the clubs ut the end of each month.
The little clubs were well provldid
for by the above section and were ear
lied along and virtually supported by
theblgdubs. They realized the fact that
they would have to concede somotllllie;
to prevent hostilities and they wern
finally persuaded to agree to do away
with the system of paying 10 per ecu:,
into the general trustify to be divided
monthly, lu order to accomplish l.V.s
Section 4 wus stricken out und a cluttse
added to Section 4S to make it read as
follows: "Section 4S The general ad
mission fee to all championship gt.me.4
shall be 50 cents, but each club shall
designate u part of Its grounds nn.1
provide seats thereon, the admission fee
to which shall be 1!'. cents and all divi
