Democratic unity was the keynote
)f a groat gathering of representative
Democrats who attended the opening
if the handsome new quarters of the
nidon club In New York cn Thurs
day evening. Addresses were made
by a number of prominent Democrats
and afterwards a collation was aerved
In the banquet hall to the distin
guished guests of the evening and a
buflct supper was served in the base
ment for the rank and file.
To the Democrats the event wai
one of the most memorable for many
a day. as 0 rover Cleveland and David
B. Hill, two of the most prominent
leaders In the country, met In har
mony, seeking to draw factions of
their party together. It was the
first public political appearance of tin
ex-president In five years. He spoke
first. Ex-Senator Hill spoke after him
and then Governor A. J. Montague of
Virginia and Colonel W. A. Gaston of
Boston delivered addresses.
William J. Bryan bad been invited
to attend though not to speak but no
reply was received from him.
Report of Business Conditions.
Conditions governing present and
future trade show very sharp con
trasts. While the Immediate pres
ent situation Is clouded by the rather
less favorable Industrial outlook and
the pre spert of an extension of the
coal strike In the bituminous fields,
the continued favorable progress mado
by all the leading crops lends assur
ance that once the present strained
condition nf industrial affairs Is re
lieved a large and prosperous fall and
winter business Is assured.
With the exception of too much
molsturo In the Southwest, Interfer
ing with the harvesting, and condition
of wheat and continued dryness In
Texas spoiling corn and impairing
cotton conditions, the agricultural out
look is practically without flaws.
The supply of anthracite coal Is
slowly ebbing, and the use of soft coal
Is growing despite city ordinances.
Prices of farm products show the
Influence of Improving crop condi
tions. Refined sugar Is lower after
the heavy buying of the past month.
Country produce Is lower, potatoes
particularly so on larger receipts.
The strength In manufactured mater
ials is notable, though print cloths are
said to be weak In sympathy with the
decline In raw cotton.
Business failures for the week num

Cornell Won Three Races.
Cornell Saturday afternoon won the
greatest triumph of her history in
boating. The lthacans literally swept
the Hudson, winning all three events
In tho Inter-colleglate regatta, the
'varsity, the freshmen and the four
oared races.
In each race the crews, coached by
Charles Courtney, had to fight all the
way from start to finish for victory,
in only i.ne of the three races did the
lthacans dare at any time to let down
on their speed.
The Wisconsin boys won the sec
ond honors of the day and to them be
longs great credit for the splendid
fights they made in the 'varsity and
freshman races. In both of which
events they finished strong second to
the lthacans. In all three races Col
umbia finished third. In the four
oared Pennsylvania was recond, but
in the "varsity, race tho Quakers fin
ished In the fourth place, and In the
freshman race they were fifth.
The University of Syracuse beat the
Quakers out for fourth place In the
freshmen event, and In the 'varsity
Syracuse fought Georgetown out In
the last few lengths, heating the boys
from Washington by less than a yard
at the finbh line.
In none of the races were the rec
ords touched, but In all three events
the times were not far above the fast
est that have been made on this
course.
Paterson In Hands of Mob.
Paterson was in the hands of a
mob Wednesday and as a result of the
riots a number of persons were shot
and two a?-least will die.
There seems to bo every Indication
that the riot was the result of a pre
arraneed plan to involve the would-be
peacetul element In the affair from
the start. For some time pasi a man
named McQueen and another named
Galleano, the former an Englishman
of wellknown violent tendencies, and
tho latter an Italian of openly ex
pressed love for the red flag, have
been In this city. Other agents of
anarchist circles have also been quiet
ly fanning the flames.
Chairman McOrath who bas held the
strikers In leash since he first ob
tained control on the second day or
so of the rtrike. and who has sinef
stood almost alone between the city
and violence was at a meeting and pre
sided. He spoke; so did McQueen.
Tho latter was tame. Then Galleano
spoke. McGrath could not understand
him but he worked his countrymen
into a frenzy.
Instantly a mob formed about
him.- Into It rushed the Italians and
then the other foreigners and a mo
ment later the mob led by Galleanc
swept down Relmont avenue.
Mills were wrecked with stonel
and bullets by the striking silk dyers
helpers or roughs acting for them.
There have been threats to resort to
the torct, hvt so far the mayor hesi
tated abort asking Governor Murphy
for troops, whose presence seems to
be necessary if the lawless element
is to be held In check.
Solider Defended the Army.
An attack upon the American army
In the Philippines made at a garden
party at Knoxvllle, Tenn., started a
fight which may cost four lives. One
man Is dead and Uiree others, Includ
ing the traducer of the soldiers and a
discharged regular recently returned
from Manila, who defended the name
ot the military, are probably fatally
wounded.
Monday, who served three years In
the archipelago as a member of the
Ninth Infantry and who is a survivor
of the massacre of Company G at Ra
langiga, Samar, gave Darger the He
when the latter declared "two-thirds
of the American foldlers who went to
the Philippines were hoodlums and
the other third were cowards and bul
lies." In the fight that followed Hobbs and
Kennedy took the part of Barger. All
fought with pocket knives, until Mon
day, weak from the loss of blood, sank
to the ground.
Then one of his friends In the crowd
handed him a revolver and he shot
Kennedy dead. Monday then shot at
Rarger and Hobbs but failed to hit
either.
Call For National Convention.
An orticial call for a national con
vention of the United Mine Workers
of America has been issued from the
national headquarters In Indianapolis
by Secretary Wilson. The convention
will meet there July 17 to determine
whether the soft coal miners of the
country snail go out on strike to as
sist the striking anthracite miners of
Pennsylvania.
The basis of apportionment of dele
gates to the convention Is one for
every 100 members of every local
union and fraction over 50. This will
make a convention of 1,000 delegates.
The voting strength of all locals Is
between 2,300 and 2,400. Of this num
ber the convention will have a voting
strength of from 1,700 to 1,800.
A bare majority can order a strike.
A few more than 900 can declare a
strike. The anthracite regions cast
717 votes, Virginia and Michigan,
which joined In the call for the con
vention, have 52, making 799 votes
from these five districts which united
to call this convention.
President Roosevelt Firm.
The president. It can be stated, Is
firm and steadfast in his determina
tion that In some form or other and
at the earliest opportunity there shall
be secured to the new republic ot
Cuba a substantial reduction ot the
Import tariff on her exports to the
United States. How or when the re
sult Is obtained is a matter that the
president must leave to future de
velopments. The president will not content him
self with shelvingtheqtiestlon nowthat
he has urged the matter on congress
In a special message but will take
such further steps as may be calculat
ed to secure the reduction he has
urged.
If It appears that a treaty will ac
complish results one will be negotiat
ed and submitted to the senate when
ever the occasion seems opportune.
Total Cost of Philippine War.
Secretary Root has answered the
senate resolution of April 17 for Infor
mation as to the cost of the war In the
Philippines. It Is shown that $50,000
was advanced for the expenses of the
Philippine commission originally from
the United States treasury, but this
amount afterwards was reimbursed
out of the Philippine treasury. For
railroad transportation ot troops and
supplies to and from the Philippines
since the peace treaty was ratified the
cott has been $4,803,448. Reports
from the various bureau offices as to
the cost of the Phillplne war, includ
ing outstanding obligations, showed
that the total up to date Is $170,326,
SS6. Reward Offered For Arrest
It has just been made known by
the polire of Rochester, N. Y., that
there has been working In that city
for some time a man wanted In Taun
ton, Mass., on a charge of murder In
the first degree and assault In the sec
ond degree. The man wanted Is John
13. Gallagher, alias John E. Dunn, for
the murder of Joseph McMahon at
Taunton, Mass., Nov. 21, 1899, and
the shooting of his wife, who was not
killed. Gallagher for some time past
has been working for the Rochester
Railway company, but suddenly took
flight upon learning the police were in
vestigating his case. A reward of
$500 is offered for his arrest.
Congress Will Adjourn Soon.
Senators generally predict that the
congress lll disperse between the
first and the fourth of July. The ses
sion probably will be extended some
what by the necessity of concluding
consideration of the Philippine gov
ernment bill, as all the appropriation
bills could be finally disposed of dur
ing the present week. The house,
however, will not pass on the Philip
pine bill until the latter part of the
week, and it Is expected It will be
necessary to devote considerable time
In conference to the differences be
tween the senate and the house.
King Albert of Saxony Dead.
King Albert of Suxony died Thurs
day at the castle of Sibyllenort, and
Dresden was hung in black.
Emperor William and a large num
ber of the German princes will attend
the funeral.
It Is possible that the Emperor of
Austria. Francis Joseph, who was a
great friend of King Albert, will also
attend this ceremony.
The Saxon ministry has proclaimed
Prince George, brother of the lats
king, King of Saxony. Prince eorg
has taken the oath of allegiance.
"CLEVERLY WRITTEN."
So Say the Operators of Mr.
Mitchell's Address.
Mr. Olyphant Says There Will Be No
Arbitration Thinks He Will Oper
ate the Mines With the Men Now
on Strike Speculation on National
Convention.
New York, June 24. President H.
M. Olyphant of the Delaware and
Hudson company made the following
comment on tho statement of Presi
dent Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers of America Issued In reply
to that of the operators, in which the
correspondence leading up to the
strike was made public:
"Mitchell's statement is misleading
and unreliable as to facts and figures.
If Mitchell proposes to call out the
bituminous miners and paralyze the
entire Industries of the country he will
find that he has taken upon his
shoulders a job bigger than he Is able
to cope with.
"There will be no arbitration that
Is certain. We will operate our
mines again with the men that are
on strike now. They will only be too
glad to come back and no strike leader
will be able to keep them out."
Mr. Olyphant declined to enter Into
any detailed denial of the assertions
made by President Mitchell.
Thomas P. Fowler of the New York,
Ontario & Western, said: "I have had
no time to read Mitchell's statement.
Therefore, of course, 1 have no com
ment to offer. When I have read It
I may have something to say."
INDEPENDENT OPERATORS.
Contradicted Mr. Mitchell as to the
Weight of a Miner's Ton.
Wilkes-Barre, June 24. Indepen
dent operators and superintendents
were Interviewed on President Mit
chell's address to the public. None of
the officials seen would permit his
name to be used, and there is no one
In the region who Is authorized to
make a statement or give an opinion
for the big coal companies. Such
official statements or interviews can
come only from the presidents of the
big companies In New York or Phil
adelphia. In the opinion of most of the offi
cials here the address Is "cleverly
written" and will appeal to those per
sons who are not familiar with the con
ditions In the mining regions.
One superintendent, whose views
were similar to the others, said:
The assertion that the miner does not
get paid for all the coal he mines is
not true. The miner Is paid for a
2240 pound ton and he has to send to
the surface on an average 2,700 to
3,000 pounds of coal, slate and other
impurities to get the ton of pure coal.
Only about 10 per cent of the coal
production Is paid for by weight, the
other 90 per cent being paid by meas
ure. Attention should be called to
the fact that Mr. Mitchell Is speaking
of last year's prosperity In coal mlnlnt.
quoted only the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western annual report. That
company only had an exceptionally
good year because of the peculiar con
ditions about Its mines. The reports
of other companies tell an entirely
different story to which Mr. Mitchell
makes no reference."
The miners' union will make an
attempt to shut down the 11 washeries
between Plttston and Carbondaie
that have resumed operations since
the strike wss begun.
There were no developments in the
bituminous phase of the coal strike.
News from the west as to how the
miners there stand Is eagerly awaited.
There is still much speculation as to
what the special national convention
will do. One of the district officers
here said he was of the opinion if the
supply of soft coal could be curtailed
to a certain point the proposition to
call a general strike will not be
pressed.
Democratic State Convention.
Erie, Pa., June 24. Ex-Governor Pat
tison Is here to direct his campaign for
the nomination for governor by Wed
nesday's Democratic convention. Ex
Congressman James Kerr and George
W. Guthrie of Pittsburg, the latter the
choice of the Allegheny County Dem
ocracy, are also out for governor. Pat
tison has more instructed delegates
than either Kerr or Guthrie, but the
followers of Kerr are hopeful of win
ning by a combination with the Guth
rie delegates.
President's Western Trip.
Washington, June 24. The presi
dent gave assurances to Representa
tive McCleary of Minnesota that he
would stop at Mankato, that state, on

Dallas, Tex., citzens. The exact date
on which he will visit both cities will
he arranged later.

REJOICING AT ITHACA.
Victorious Crews Received an Ovation
on Their Return.
Ithaca, June 24. For the first time
since 1876 citizens of Ithaca welcomed
yesterday three winning Cornell
crews at one time. As the train
bearing the victorious oarsmen pulled
Into the station cannon boomed a
welcome and the cracking of small
arms In hundreds of hands added to
the din. Every factory whistle In the
city was tied down for half an bom
as the cavalcade marched through the
principal streets.
Two thousand persons joined the
line of march and on almost every
house Cornell's colors were displayed,
a were new brooms to symbolize the
clean sweep made by tho oarsmen
last Saturday. Business generally
was suspended. After spending sev
eral hours marching around the town
the procession halted at the Ithaca
hotel, where an elaborate banquet
was tendered the athletes. President
J. G. Schurman of the university offer
ed the oarsmen hearty congratulations
on their victories while the populace
accorded a maglflcent ovation to
Coach Charles E. Courtney, the "old
man" of Cornell's navy.
Just before the train bearing the
crews reached the city the members
of the 'varsity eight-oared crew elected
John P. Frenzel of Indianapolis, Ind.,
as captain for 1903. Frenzel has a
long rowing record. He was a mem
ber of his freshmen eight and rowed
In 1900, 1901 and 1902 second 'varsity
crews. Ho stroked the four oared
boat In 1901 and also the second 'var
sity this year on Cayuga lake In the
race with Harvard and Syracuse. He
Is In the arts course and a member
of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
William McQueen, Charged With In
citing Violence In Paterson, Held
For Extradition.
New York, June 24. William Mc
Queen, an alleged anarchist, who Is
charged with having incited violence at
Paterson last week, was arrested here
yesterday.
Magistrate Crane asked McQueen at
the arraignment If he had anything to
say in answer to the charge. Mc
Queen replied he would like to consult
his lawyer.
The court then told McQueen that
he would be held pending the arrival
of extradition papers, a period of 30
days or less.
McQueen asked If he could consult
with his lawyer when he arrived.
"You will be In the Tombs," said
the court, "and they will tell you
there."
The court told the prisoner he could
not give ball and McQueen was led
away.
Bankruptcy Bill Shelved.
Washington, June 24. The bill for
the amendment of the bankruptcy law
which has passed the house of repre
sentatives and Is now before the sen
ate committee on the Judiciary, will
not receive further consideration dur
ing the present session. The bill was
referred to a sub-committee, but a
majority of that committee have
planned to leave Washington within
the next few days. They have there
fore agreed that as the session is Hear
ing Its close they will postpone con
sideration until the senate shall con
vene next December.
Census Employes Dropped.
Washington, June 24. The final re
duction of the census personnel will
occur next Monday when 200 employes
engaged on special work will be
dropped from the rolls, leaving a perm
anent census force of 750 clerks. Tho
permanent census act, which becomes
operative July 1, legislates out of of
fice Assistant Director Wines, one of
the first appointees in the census. J.
W. Langley, now filling the offices of
both appointment clerk and disbursing
clerk, will remain as disbursing offi
cer. Emperor Was Not on Train.
Berlin, June 24. The dispatch pub
lished In the Rappel of Paris that a
shot was fired at the train convey
ing the Emperor of Germany to Dus
seldorf Is without foundation. Tho in
cident Is in no way connected with the
German emperor and the Rappel's
story Is doubtless based upon the fact
that somebody fired a shot last week
Into a passenger train going to Dus
seldorf. Emperor William was not ou
board this train.
Fatal Ending of a Quarrel.
