After two day of conferences In
New York city between the an
thraclte coal mine operators on one
side and the governor and senior aena
U,r of New York and tbe two senators
from Pennsylvania on the other, the
strike of the United Mine Workers ot
America is apparently as far from a
sell lenient as the day It was declared
Governor Odcll laid before the op
ciators the proposition that if they
would concede to tbe miners an ad
vance of 5 cents a ton In the price
paid for milling coal ho would promise
that tile miners would resume work.
Being to'd further that the oonces
slon would carry with It recognition
of the mineis' union, tbe operator!
promptly refused to entertain th
proposal and took their leave.
Replete at its opening with promise
of a solution of the struggle between
the I'nlled Mine Workers of America
and the operators of the anthracito
propei tlc3 in Pennsylvania Thursday
closed without apparent appreciable
progress toward an agreement upon
ihe Issue.- in the controversy.
Most noteworthy of the day's events
was a conference at the office of Sen
ator T. C. Piatt, at which there were
present among others, the two senators
from Pennsylvania and Ihe governor
of New York arr.l nearly all the presi
dents of the big corporations control
in it the anthracite field.
There were conferences during the
day In which President Mitchell and
men of more or less consequence In
the Industrial world participated, but
the.ie, so far as information obtainable
goes, were as barren of results as the
principal meeting, details of which are
given out on the authority of one who
was present.
In brief, there has been no change
In the situation so far as it might have
been affctte.l by the gathering In New
York cf labor leaders, mine operators
and public men.

34.5 bushels as compared with Z5.1
bushe's on Oct. 1. 191U. and 26.8 bush
els the mean of the October estimates
for the past 10 years. The present es

Substitutes For Anthracite.
Bradstrect's says of the state of
trade;
Cooler weather has brought the coal
supply question home to millions of
people, and discussion of this hss
dwarfed all other matters In the public
eye. Annoyance and extra expense
to manufacturers rather than depres
sion or real suffering to the great body
of the people are as yet the main r
ults. Soft coal of foreign and domestic
origin, oil and gas have taken the place
Df anthracite coal with surprising little
friction. Iron smelting alone of all the
great Industries has been seriously
rurtaileJ, though brick manufacturing
ha- suffered and small "hand" laund
ries have been crippled.
Including furnace employes in East
ern Pennsylvania, brickmakers In and
r,.;- n,B Uii.lson vnllcr nil a larre
number of coal handlers at tidewater
docks, not to exceed 20,000 men, ot
only one-seventh of the number ot
actual strikers, have been rendered
Idle.
Aside from the fuel scarcity it ma
be truly said that every business pros
pect pleases. Fall jubbing, though
necessarily not so active as earlier.
Is really better than anticipated. Re
orders note difficulty of fulfillment, In
dicating lack of depressing stocks
Spring trade advices are better than
usual at this date, and predictions aa
to the coming holiday business are op
tlmietic. Business failures for the week end
ing Thursday, Oct. 9, number 170, as
against 164 last week, 183 In this week
last year, 210 In 1900, 164 In 1899 and
233 in 1898.
Will Test Their Claims.
This Is the week which It Is gen
erally believed w'.il put to a test the
claim of the operators that they will
o enabled to start up their collieries
if given protection and the countet
claim of the United Mine Workers or
ganlzatlon as expressed In Wednes
day's resolutions that the Btrikers will
not return to work without concessions
even though the entire military force
of the Vnltcd States should be here
to protect them.
With a determination to prove their
claim, the operators bave been foi
the past week making a supreme effort
to secure men. That they have suc
ceeded to some extent Is evidenced by
announcements mado with some post
tivenres that various collieries will re
sume operations in the course of a few
days.
The United Mine Workers' leaders
continue to assert that the military
can do nothing towards inducing men
to return to work and that all men
who could be Induced to go back to
work without concessions are already
back.
Strike dlsordeis are now almost
wholly absent. During the past two
days the sobliers have had nothing
to do further than their regular patrol
duty, not a single call having come
to any ot the three regiments in this
county to deal with either disorder or
threatened disorder.
General Stewart Commander.
The greater part of theafternoon ses
sion of the Grand Army encampment
on Thursday, Oct. 9, was devoted to
the election of national officers, the
result being as follows: Commander-in-chief,
General Thomas J. Stewart
of Pennsylvania; vice commander-in-chief,
W. M. Olin of Massachusetts;
junior vice commander-in-chief, James
M. Averill of Georgia.

ation: General Stewart of Pennsyl
vania, General John C. Black ot Illi
nois, Gen. Daniel E. Sickles of New
Yoik and Colonel John McElroy ot the
District of Columbia.

tion of Ceneral Stewart, the vote be
ing as follows: Stewart 467, Black 272

Hill Opened Campaign.
The state Democratic campaign was
opened Saturday night in Brooklyn.
The Academy of Music, in which the
meeting was held, was completely
filled with an enthusiastic audience
that listened to speeches by David B.
Hill, Edward M. Grout, George Raines
and others. Mr. Hill In his speech as
serted that the cost of living had in
creased while "the accumulations of
wealth have accrued to the coffers of
the few rather than to the pockets of
the many."
The coal question Mr. Hill declared
to be a national one, saying: "If It Is
not, why did the president himself
recently Intervene and summon pri
vate citizens to the White House for
conference and exercise bis official
Influence In regard to a matter over
which he had no jurisdiction? He was
not acting under any statute He had
no authority for any legal Interference
on his part. He himself has made It
a national question and he and his
party are now stopped from otherwise
regarding it.
Senator Hill also discussed the ques
tion of the election of United States
senators by the people; arraigned the
administration of Governor Odell on
the score of extravagance and de
clared that the Democratic party had
never presented a better ticket for
the suffrages of the people.
Killed In Socialist Riot.
The compulsoty closing of a Social
ist club at Gibraltar within tho
Spanish lines resulted In a riot In
which five of the rioters were killed
and several wounded. The mob fired
upon the civil guard who were tempor
arily driven back, but who returned
the fire of the rioters and scattered
their assailants. The mot) afterward
attacked the house of the mayor and
other dwellings before It was finally
dispersed.

there as usual.
As President Baer was leaving his
