Wllkes-l5ii no, Pa., June 26. The olu
cliils of the severiil large rnnl companies
in this ickIou ure authority for the
statement that men are applying to
thrill daily for employment of any kind.
Among the applicants nro nearly all
cl.-ti-ses of workers. Including miners,
and it Is said that nearly all tho com
panies have more men ti draw on than
they can possibly need during the pro
gress of the strike The majority of
tlio companies that arc compelled to
jninip water from their mines are work
ing tlielr engines and otlier machinery
full handed, nviirdlng lo statements
made by the superintendents, but sonic
of the men arc not ah capable as those
on strike. The most capable of those
that arc now applying for work are
taken on, while the others are placed
on the waiting list. In speaking of the
conditions about the mines today, one
eunerlntendeut said:
".Most of the men applying to lis for
Mork are members of the union. They
come to our offices dally and beg for
something to do, saying they arc tired
of the Idleness. 'W'c hear from those
Jnen that some of the strikprs are prac
tically out or funds and rather than ask
lellef they would prefer to return to
Mork, but hesitate to do so for fear they
will be harmed or their families will be
boycotted and othcrjvi.se annoyed. Our
rnglnes and pumps are running as sat
isfactory as can bo expected under the
circumstances, and 1 think the same Is
true of otlier companies. There is no
fear of squeezes at this time as a rc
htilt of the scarcity of llniberincn. This
work is looked after by our foremen
and lirebOFSes, all of whom understand
the work."
The Michigan delegation of miners'
nnd operators' representatives conclud
ed their conference with President
Mitchell today without coming to an
agreement, and left for the west. The
Michigan miners have been on strike
sTneo April 1, because they cannot come
to an agreement with their employers
on a new wage scale. It is understood
the questions in dispute arc not so much
one of wages as conditions.
All of yesterday and today was spent
In going over the various points In dis
pute without any final agreement being
rt ached on the vital points at issue.
Kuril side will make a report to Us
organization, and it H not unlikely that
as a result of this report another meet
ing will he called. At this time a set
tlement of the strike In Michigan Is nut
hi sight.
National Convention.
District Piesident Williams, of Michi
gan, said today he was Inclined to think
that the special national convention at
Indianapolis next month will not take a,
ladlcal step. He says that Michigan
will do whatever President Mitchell
thinks Is best for the organization, and
he felt sure the other states would do
the same thing. As far as ho knows all
the soft coal miners want to give the
anthracite workers all the help they
can. There is .sonic talk, he said, of
helping them by heavily taxing the soft
coal miners and thus strengthening the
haul coal strlkois for nn indefinite
Mruggle, If Ujb mujorlty of the con
vention delegates are of the belief that
the life of the organization Is In dan
ger, then he would not be surprised If
n general strike Is ordered. All soft
coal miners want to keep their agree
ments. They fought for them for years,
but If it came down to u question of or
ganization or contracts, the men, he
said, would not hesitate to stand by tlio
union. The faot that Michigan was one
of the flvo districts to petition for u
national convention did pot bind that
state to any policy. Michigan, im said,
is free to do what sho pleases, but with
out doubt will do us President Mitchell
udvUcs,
"We consented to the call for the con
vention because J 17,000 mine workers
In the cust uslwd ua for our help,", he
concluded,
President Huslslns, vice President
Sullivan and Secretary Savage, of the
Ohio mlitets. who enmo cast to hold a
conference with their chief, spent the

night. They will also visit the otlier
anthracite districts, The Buckeye
stale miners continue their sllenco as
to the nature of their visit, beyond the
statement that they are fit his field
merely (o look over the situation, There
U a persistent rumor here that the
Ohio miners will contest any attempt to
curtail or entirely stop the production of
coal In their btute. Nearly nil, If not all,
art working under agreements, which
they labored for years to obtain, and
they nro not willing at this time to
break them. It is said the Ohio mlneis
would rather pay a heavy sli'lko tax
than stop work. Neither Mr, Uusklns

Second Wo watch with sympathetic
Interest the struggle of the miners with
the power of tlio coal combine In its ef

In the name and for the sake of Ameri

political power.
Third AVo observe with alarm and sor

whoso power lias been delegated and fos

Tlio agency which bus created them must

voting protest against further existence
and extension of theso glunt tyrannies
whoso shadows llu across every work

From Committee.
THE BILL ENACTED
BY A PARTY VOTE
With the Exception of Mr McCall,
of Massachusetts, Who Voted with
tho Democrats The House Also
Adopts Conference Report on the
Isthmian Canal Bill.
By K)iie Wire from Tho Associated Frew.
Washington, Juno 26. At 8 o'clock to
night, at thu end of a nine-hour session,
nnd of a. debate lasting night and day
for a week, the house passed the Phil
ippine civil government bill, practically
as it enmo from tho committee. It was
a party vote, 141-97, with tho exception
of Mr. Mi-Cull, of Massachusetts, who
voted with the Democrats. The minor
ity substitute for tho establishment of
u, temporary government In the Islands
and their permanent independence as
soon as a stable government could be
established, was defeated by 95 to 136.
The debate during the day was at
times of a. lively character. The Demo
crats offered a multitude of amend
ments, but all were voted down, Includ
ing one offered by Mr. Patterson, of
Tennessee, to prohibit slavery or invol
untary servitude in the islands. .The
greatest interest attached to an amend
ment offered by Mr. McCall (Republi
can, Massachusetts) to the end of the
bill to declare tho policy of the United
Stales to 1ip to develop the capacity of
the Filipinos lor self-government and
pledging the faith of the United States
to grant thcnivself-govprnmcnt. He sup
ported the amendment. In an eloquent
speech, and the Democrats challenged
their political adversaries to declare
thnlr future policy. Mr. (Jrosvenor, of
Ohio, and Mr. Cooper, of "Wisconsin,
said it would be unwise to mortgage
tho future by making such a declara
tion now and the latter quoted Gover
nor Tnft as saying that such a promise
now would tend to prevent thp,paelfl
cation of tho Islands. The amendment
was lost by a strict party vote, except
for Mr. McC'ill and Mr. I.lttlefleld, of
Maine, who vot with the Democrats
for the amendniL.it.
Canal Bill Report Adopted.
Before tho consideration of the Phil
ippine bill was resumed today, the
house, by a vote of 232 to S, adopted tho
conference report on the isthmian canal
bill, thus ucccpting In toto the senate
bill.
The bill nbw goes to the president.'
It favors the Panama route over that
of Nicuragua and directs tho president
to ascertain if si clear title can be pur
chased from the French Panama Canal
company.
The substitute for the Philippine civil
government bill differs from the bill as
It passed the senate in muny minor par
ticulars, but principally in the follow
ing: The house substitute provides for a
complete system of civil government,
with a legislature to consist of two
houses, one of which shall bo a popular
assembly elected by the Filipino peo
ple. The senate bill contained no such
provision. Tho legislation is to be
chosen after "tho existing Insurrection
in the Philippines shall have ceased
und complete order shall have been es
tablished therein, und the fact certified
to the president by tho Philippine com
mission." The house also amplifies the "bill of
rights" enumerated In the senate meas
ure, and adds to the number of Issues
which can be appealed to the Supreme
court of tho United States. The house
measure also defines with greater detail
thun the senate, the rights of citizen
ship of those residing in the islands,
and provides that all residents shall
receive the same protection from the
United States in respect to their relation
with foreign governments as Is accord
ed to citizens of the United States. One
of the most important differences be
tween the senate and house bills Is that
relating to coinage The senufte provid
ed a silver standard somewhat In ex
tension nnd perfection of that now In
existence. The houso measure provides
a gold standard system, with the gold
dollar of the United Stutes as the stan
dard unit of value for the Islands. The
main coin Is to be the peso, made in
silver, but of a gold value, und this Is
to he dlvldedjnto subsidiary pieces of
money bearing devices emblematic of
American sovereignty. Piovlslon also
Is made for a system of paper currency,
banks and for a complete financial sys
tem, the details being different from
those In the senate measure, although
following the same general lines. In
dealing with the grunt of franchises
tho house bill places many more re
stitutions on such grants than the sen
ale bill, In this respect, the restric
tions provided by the house follow the
lines of those provided for Porto Rico.
Both bills provide for acquiring tho
friar lands and for the Issue of bonds
sUfllcleut to pay for these lands, the
senuto provision making the interest
rate ih per cent, and the house Q per
cent. Doth measures contain extended
provisions relative to timber lands, har
bor and Internal Improvements, und
for two delegate commissioners chosen
by the Filipino people to jepresent them
In Washington and have the privilege
of the floor of the house,

NEW LONDON
BOAT RACES
Yale Wins 'Varsity Contest.
Harvard Victorious in
Four-Oared.
By Fxcliuive Wire from Tl.c Associated Vrttl.
New London, Juno 26. Rowing within
ten seconds of record . time, the Tale
'varsity crew this evening lowered the
colors of the fastest eight that Harvurd
has yet produced. Yale won by four
boat lengths. Yale's time was 20.20,
Harvard's 20.33. in the four oared
race tho colors of Harvard were borne
to tho front, the Cambridge four win
ning by 2 1-2 lengths.
In the freshman race Yale's crew
led over the last mile until within a
few yards of the finish where the Har
vard crew, by a magnificent spurt
jumped their shell up even with tho
blue. Tho judges were compelled to
decide that tho race was a draw.
Twenty-five thousand people saw the
Ell's row to victory in the big 'varsity
race. But while the crowd was great,
it ,was the presence of President
Roosevelt which made the crowd unique
In the history of Yale and Harvard
races. The president saw the finish of
ull three races from aboard tho Dolphin
which was anchored just above the
finish line.. He declined tho invitation
of the regatta committee to go aboard
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt's launch, the
Mirage, preferring, ho said to remain
aboard the Dolphin where lie could be
with his family. The eyes of 25,000
people meanwhile searched yacht after
yacht in the hope of a glimpse of the
president.
After a stormy night and n morning
which seemed to mean postponement of
the races until Friday, tho afternoon
finally became a cloudless dny of al
most perfect weather for shell racing.
The wind blew quartering on the course
from the northwest, but with the ex
ception of the 'varsity four-oar race the
crews could not-have had much better
water. More yachts than ever before In
the quarter of a century of Yale and
Hurvard races on the broad Thames
were anchored along the last mile und
a half of the course, forming, a solid
avenue and filling the rlvcr.from bnnk
to bnnk with a glorious tinge of colors,
which above the blue waters of the
Thames made a beautiful picture
against tho cloudless sky.
Rough water' necessitated the post
ponement of the 'varsity elght-oared
race from 4 until 6 o'clock. The 'varsity
four-oared race was rowed a few min
utes before 3 o'clock. The wind at this
time was blowing a gale, and Referee
Mctklehain decided to postpone tiie
freshman race and also to postpone the
'varsity race. At quarter before six
o'clock he notified the crews to get
ready. The long observation trains on
either bank of the river also prepared
to move. They were filled from end to
end with over 5,000 people, bright with
the gowns of pretty women nnd the
colors of Hurvard and Yale. At fl.09 the
pistol was fired and the two big shells
leaped away from their stake-boats.
Harvard got tho best of the start,
She started at thirty-six strokes to
the minute, Yale at thirty-two, By the
end of the first half mile Harvard had
dropped her stroke to thirty-four while
Yale still held her's at thirty-two. At
the half mile flag the boats were utmost
even. Over the next half mile the race
was a desperate struggle between two
powerful crews. Yale reached the first
mile flag In 5:04, two-thirds of u length
ahead. From the end of the first mile
to the mile and a half flag the boats
scarcely changed positions but ull the
while Yalo kept creeping u little hit
ahead. At the two mile mark Yale was
leading Harvard by four seconds and
at the 2V1- mile laid picked up another
second. At the three mile Yule led by
two good lengths, her time being 15:10,
and Harvard's 15:18. Then Yale, who
had fallen a little In stroke, raised her
stroke to thirty-two, and Harvard, lit
u desperate effort to hold her own, kept
her's a thirty-four, Yule did her work
with more ease than Hurvard, The
crews entered the long nvenuo of yachts
lu grand style. Little by llttlo Yale
Increused her lend until at the Vj mllo
flug she was nine full seconds ahead of
Harvard, which means practically
three full boat lengths.
It was now a spurt for the last hulf
mile of tho race, Yale raised her
etroko to thirty-three und then to
thirty-four, Harvard held her's at
thirty-four for a minute but had to drop
It at last to thirty-two. Harvard wus
plucky despite the fact that she wus
far behind. McGruw was reeling In
his seat und Jackson, tho coxswain,
again and ugaln dushed water In his
face. It was only a question of how
many lengths Yale would have nt tho
finish. Suddenly the flag dropped for
Yale. The blue's time was 20.20, Just
ten seconds slower than tho record,
made by the famous Yale crew of 18S8.
Hurvard's time was. 20.33 which gave
to Yale the victory by four good boat
lengths. Just as the finish flag fell
THE KING SEEMS TO BE
RAPIDLY RECOVERING
and Yale's men stopped rowing, Daly1
No. 2 In the Yalo boat dropped limp
on the side of the shell. He finally
revived and rowed over to the launch
with the rest of the men. Harvard's
oarsmen wero all literally pumped out
at tho finish.
In the freshman race, the Yale boys
got the best of the start nnd held It
for the first mile. Harvard then, little
by little, cut down Yale's load until
nt tho mile nnd a half Hag they were
almost u length ahead. Yale then slow
ly crept up nnd the race resolved It
Belf Into one of the grandest fights
ever seen on any river between fresh
men crews. The flugs at the finish
dropped and no one could tell which
had dropped first. Tho watches made

WORKING FOR ARBITRATION.
Labor Committee of House Examines
Bill Creating National Board.
By U.xc hif lie W.re from The Associated Pre.
Washington, June 26. The labor com
mittee of the house today considered
the bill creating a national board of
arbitration, to deal with strikes, etc.,
which was endorsed by Mr. MgDermott
(New Jersey) because of the continu
ance of the coal strike. Chairman
Gardner called attention to tho pros
trating influence of a long continued
strike, which, he said, might be more
serious thnn a national panic.
It was the general view of the com
mittee that a legully effective compul
sory arbitration measure would be Im
possible, but that one which would se
cure Investigation nnd publicity of the
merits of a controversy would exercise
a strong moral Influence, backed by tho
national government, in adjusting
strikes. Several amendments perfect
ing tho bill wero made and tho com
mittee will meet again tomorrow to net
further.

Striking Features of Coronation
Day.
Dy 1'xclusive Wire from The Aweclited rreai.
London, June 26, (Midnight.) Th
following bulletin was posted at Buck
ingham Palace ut 11 o'clock tonight:
Tho king has passed a fairly comfort
ablo day and has maintained his
strength. There Is a returning desire for
food which lias been very carefully given.
Thcro has been somo return of pain In
the wound.
Treves, Laking, Barlow.
Those around King Edward contlnuo
to bo astonished at his rapid recovery.
The slightly annoying symptoms men
tioned In the bulletin issued at 11
o'clock nro quite inconsequential com
pared to tho fact, which the Associated
Press has learned, that his majesty
again took food tonight and was after
war allowed to smoke a cigar.
Queen Alexandra sat with her hus
band all the evening and only left
him after he had fallen Into a peace
ful sleep.
Mention by the king's doctors of iho
care with which food Is administered
to the royal 'patient and of the return
of pain In the wound can safely bo
taken as merely an 'earnest of their
conscientious intention to make publlo
the sllght?st adverse symptom, how
ever, unimportant.
The king's courage and good temper
arc remarkable and today ho presonally
wrote several telegrams and one or
two notes.
A's oVJdence Of tho king's' persistent
refusal lo efface himself from his con
nection with state affairs nnd in cor
roboration of the statement that the
physicians are satisfied with their
patient's condition, the Associated Press
learns that besides personally opening
telegrams AVednesday evening. King
Kdward then insisted upon a full In
spection of the honor list. Tonight
King Kdwurd Is better in every way
than ho was last night or this morn
ing. The return of puln In his wound
Is not nccompalnod by any appreciable
increase of temperature. In fact King
Kdwurd's doctors are Inclined to regard
the patient's puln and his appetite as
healthy symptoms, although, with the
reserve they have maintained through
out they refrain from commenting
thereon.
Following the expressed desire of the
Prince of Wales, the arrangements for
Illuminating the city, which Involved
the costly erection of set pieces for
electric and gas lights will bo allowed
to remain nnd will be utilized "Im
mediately It Is authoritatively announc
ed that the king is out of danger."
Royal Pardons Will Go Into Effect.
By the king's personal desire the roy
al pardons of offenders In the army will
go Into effect just as If the coronation
had occurred. The Inst Intimation suit
ably brings to a close the day which
was to have been notable Jn Kngllsh
history and which, from the view point
of the public, has passed Into that med
ocrity which Is attached to all thlngi
that are neither wholly good nor wholly
bad.
The most striking feature of corona
tion day as It is still called was the
universal substitution of services of In-'
tercesslon for those of rejoicing. Theso
services occurred throughout the coun
try and on board the great fleets that
lie unrovlewen In Portsmouth harbor.
YPt oven these lacked pathetic and
dramatic elements. In faco of today's
favorable bulletins, tears and litanies
ure obviously out of place. The crowds
that packed tho streets of the metrop
olis until midnight tonight evidently
appreciated this; they did not "maf
fuck," but there was a general sense
of rejoicing which, even with the most
unruly section failed to become Inor
dinate, All night long, the strand was
thronged with crowds of people who,
usually confined themselves to taklmc
a farewell look nt the decorations grad
ually disappearing from the front of
Buckingham palace. Only a slim gath
ering awaited the night bulletin and
when that was posted, the royal resi
dence, suva for a few stragglers, be
came deserted.
Inside the palace the members of the
royal family spent a quiet evening and
thu number of callers wus smaller than
uny night this week.
