Weekly Trade Review Mitchell on the Stand Canal Cloaea Dec. 4 Presi dent Bear Hunt Candidates For Commandant Mutiny on Isla de Luzon Death of Herr Krupp. The Pennsylvania mine workers, through their representatives, have agreed wltii the mine owners to attempt to adjust the differences exist ing between them outside the anthra cite coal strike commission. The proposition was made on a com promise basis, and negotiations, it is expected, will be at once entered upon, with a reasonable hope of settlement with the aid of the arbitrators. Tho rough proposition which la to form tho basis of negotiations Is a ten per cent Increase in wages, a nlno hour day, and trade agreemeuts be tween the miners and the company by whom they are employed. The only ono of the four demands nut tcuchpj upon is that of weighing of coal by the legal ton. Few persons were aware that an at tempt would b? made at an outside settlement until It was practically no Intimated by Judge Gray, the chair man of the commission, who read a carefully prepared announcement from the "bench". The move, one of the most important in the whole history of the coal strike, created a mild sen sation when it became known. The surprise was all the greater when It will be remembered that numerous persons, from the president of the United States down, and that many oigauizatlons, from the National Civic Federation to the small boards of trade of the mining towns, failed to bring the two parties together. Mitchell on Stand Four Days. President John Mitchell oa Tues day for the fourth successive day occupied the witness stand during the two sessions of the strike commission and was cross-examined by three at torneys for as many coal companies. While a considerable amount of In formation for the enlightenment of the commissioners was brought out the day was rather a quiet one, compared with those which have preceeded it. The arbitrators are growing rest lees in consequence of the long cross examination which apparently does not bring out tho facts as quickly as the commission would like to have them presented. Several times during the course of the session Chairman Gray reminded 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 commissioners for the first time entered Into the discussion with the lawyers anld the witness over dis puted points v.hlch arose from time to time. Mr. M.cVeagh, who began his cross examination of Mr. Mitchell on Satur day concluded at 11 o'clock. He at tempted to break down the miners' reasons for asking for a yearly agree ment with the companies on hours of labor, wages and other conditions which If formed would be recognition of the union. Weekly Trade Review. Dradutreet's says of the state of trade: Favorable conditions still govern the trade situation. The mill, open fall weather is complained of as restricting th3 muvimeut of winter goods at retail and delaying collections at a few points, but It is not to be forgotten that present temperatures favor the ojd tinued growth of the cotton crop and a larger yield than heretofore expected, while it is enabling the railroads to make a far better fight against the pre vailing freight congestion than was earlier deemed possible. Export trade returns look better than preliminary reports foreshadowed. The outlook Is apparently for a heavy distribution of Christmas goods, par ticularly Jewelry and fancy articles. Spring business, too. Is in a more for ward condition than in previous years. Dairy products naturally feel the In fluences cf the advancing stage of the season. The talk of war In tho sugar trade has suddenly ceased, coincident apparently with the discovery by the beet sugar men tttat prices now pre vailing are unprofitable, and that re cent arrivals of California beet sugar might better be stored than put on tho market. The Btrength of the raw pn duct Is unabated. Canal Closes Thursday, Dec. 4. As a result of an order by Superin tendent Boyd, it is likely that canal navigation will be extended a week longer than was provided for in the official order Issued for the closing of the canals. The date originally fixed was at midnight of Nov. 29, the order carry ing with it Instructions to collectors that no through clearances were to be Issued later than th '""t., the in tervening time being necessary to reach tidewater. Very heavy coal shipments, the heav iest In recent year3, are reported from all points on the canal, and It Is tho superintendent's desire to have thj canals contribute all they possibly can to aid In supplying coal to all points along the line. The superintendent took up the subject with the govern ment weather bureau as to what may be expected In the way of weather conditions and was assured that mild weather is almost a certainty for 10 days, ami that severe weather is hardly possible before the end of two weeks. He has therefore directed that through clearances shall be Issued on to and Including Thursday, Nov. 27, un less unfavorable climatic conditions Intervene and he has deferred the clos ing of the canals to Thursday, Dec. 4. Herr Krupp'i Death. The first assumption in Berlin that Herr Krupp, the great gun maker, committed suicide i yielding tj precise and abundant testimony to the contrary. Horr Krupp'3 medioU history for sev rral years past indicates that he was in delicate health. He was asthmatic, had a weak heart and was subject to faint ing spells. He fell to the ground un conscious while in Genoa several years ago and again while at dinner in a hotel 18 months ago. He had been warned to avoid over fatigue and worry. He was at Ham burg Thursday last and at the Ham burger Hot it was observed that ho was in a highly wrought state and scarcely In control of himself. His condition accounted for the presence of two physicians In the house at the time of his death. President Didn't Get a Bear. The bears in the swamp country a run d the president's camp on the Little Sunflower seemed to have ef fected a successful combination to prevent tho presideut from having a single shot at one of them on the ex pedition. The only one the dogs started didn't stop running until he reached the cane brakes, about nine miles from camp. There he was overtaken by Mr. Mo Dougall, one of the managers of the Smede plantation, who killed him at 70 paces. The bear killed weighed 225 pounds. Judge Dickinson Is the only other mem ber of the party except Mr. McDougall who has fired a shot The Judge missed a swamp deor at 100 yards. Candidates For Commandant. The board of trustees of the New York State Soldiers' and Sailors' home met at Bath and adjourned until Dec. 8 without electing a commandant of the home. Trustee McConnell pre sented the name of Trustee O. H. Smith of Bath for the office. There are 12 other candidates. Colonel C. O. Shepard of Buffalo has withdrawn from the contest. Among the candi dates are Joseph P. V. C!eary of R Chester, General J. Ford Kemp of Troy and General James O'Brien of New York. The board adopted the budget for the ensuing year, appropriating $230,000 for maintenance, transporta tion, repair and betterments. Mutiny on Isla de Luzon. The tsrla de Luzon, one of the Span ish gunboats captured at Manila on May 1, 18'J8, by Admiral Dewvy is en route to New York with 48 of her men in Irons. The vessel, which has been doing guard duty In the Phil ippines for about three years, started recently for New York, proceeding Irom Manila via Singapore. Advices received Indicate that on the 'trip to Singapore some of the machinery worked badly, creating a panic among the crew and causing a mutiny. The result was the placing of 48 of her crew In Irons. Organization of Legislature. The New York legislature will meet on Jan. 6 of 1903, that being the first Wednesday of the year, as set by the constitution. Speaker Nixon of the assembly, who is to be re-elected; Lieu- tenant Governor-elect Higglns, Senator John Rail. s, who Is to be president pro tern of the senate, and Archie Bax ter, clerk of the assembly, held a meet ing last week, and It may be stated with authority that the organization of the most imixirtant portions of the two branches of the legislature was agreed upon. Cleaning Up Congestion. At Pittsburg, Pa., after 36 hours of the most strenuous activity on the part of the greatly augment?! forces of men and loromotlves, the Pennsyl vania railroad system has made a com parative cleaning up of Its congested terminals. The car movement breaks all records for a similar time. It Is estimated that 50.000 cars were moved Into and out of Pittsburg. In five hours 93 trains were started for Altoona by the Pennsylvania, 20 per cent heavier than the record. Sold Bibles; Stole Horses. At Lancaster, Pa., A. G. Glasgow if Mlllersvillc, Pa., who cloaked his extensive horse stealing operations un der the guise of a Bible agent, an en ergetic worker in church work and the organizer of Sunday schools, was Jound guilty on four Indictments for horse stealing, and 11 Indictments for felonious entry and larceny of buggies, harness, etc. He was sentenced to five years and nine months In jail and to pay a fine of $1,400 and costs.

STRIKE SETTLEMENT. Scrns of Negotiation Shifted to New York and Washington. Will Meet Wayne MacVeagh and Pos sibly Other Attorn- 3 Representcnj Coal Roads Committee of Independ ent Operators in New York Embar rassmcnt of the Independents. Scrantcn, Pa., Nov. 23 The scene! of the f'rllx settlement negotiation! have been suddenly shifted from thli city to WasMpton and New York. Today the committee of nine of the independent operators expect to hold a conference with the presidents of the coal carrying roads regarding the post tion of the individual companies and at the same time a meeting betwecr Wayne MacVeagh and possibly othei attorneys representing tho coal roa li and President Mitchell and his at torneys will be held In the national capita'. Although the miners' represents tlves did not known why they wer summoned to Washington they believe the companies have something to of fer. Mr. Mitchell's party left here at 4:35 p. m. and arrived in Wash ington at 12:50 today. Those whe went along besides Mr. Mitchell anil Mr. Darrow were Henry D. Lloyds ol Chicago and Miss Morris, Mr. Mit chell's private secretary. The committee of Independent op erators left for New York in the aftor noon. Explainiug their mission one ol the representatives of the small com panies said: "The independent operator has nc income beyond the profits derived from mining coal. When the mining of coal and the breaker Is stopped hU revenue also ceases, but the expen33 In main taining the property goes on. "The large companies, owned by the railrcads, deprnd on their freight rate? to maintain their collieries while In idlene3. The independent companies are paying the miners as much now as they ca.i afford, and if an increase In wages Is granted by the large com panies the large companies must give the Independents a lower freight rate to meet the Increasj in wages. "This is the mission of the commit tee. If they refuse to make a conces sion in freight rates or Its equivalent then It is rob;ib'e the independent companies will insist upon the whole matter being threshed out before the commission. The Independent com panies feel they have a good case and are willing to leave it to the commis sion. "Mr. Mitchell In his testimony before the commission last week said that $tili0 a year would he a fair American standard of living wag-s. Some of tin Independent c nipanles are paying an average of ever $700 a year while th large companies are paying under those figures. Therefore if a 10 per cent increase is agreed upon the amount of money to be paid to the men by the Independents will be groat er than that of the largo companies. Miller Has Seven More Votes.
