who has (U viseil a jilan by which he
hopes to effect a settlement hetween
the operators and miners without the
necessity of an extra session of the
legislature fur the enactment of ar
bitration legislation.
The conference did not heRin until
long after mldniftht, owIiir to the late
hour at which Mitchell and his asso
ciates arrived In llarrishurg from
Philadelphia. The governor originally
arranged fur a meeting today with
Mitchell, liut the strike leader had
an important engagement at Wilkes
barro today that must be filled, and
he asked the governor to meet him last
night, and the executive most cheer
fully complied with his reauest.

NINETEENTH WEEK OF STRIKE
Both Sides Firm as Ever The End
Not in Sight.
Shenandoah, Pa., Sept. 15. Today
the l!th week of the coal strike
began. The reiteration by the
coal pr.' i 'cuts last week that j
110 concessit! ns would be made, and I
the resolutions passed by nearly all '
the local unions of the I'nited Mine
Workers, renewing their allegiance to j
their ollic or, and pledging themselves j
to continue the strike until conces
sions are granted, show that neither
side to the controversy Is weakening.
All sorts of rumors have been put
In circulation by the? spokesmen of
the operators, as well as of the strik
ers, both sides contending that the
conference early Saturday morning be- j
tween Governor Stone and John
Mitchell and several or his lieutenants
has resulted to their advantage.
From the operators comes the story
that the conference proved a failure,
in that the officials of the union were
led to believe that Governor Stone
was authorized to make a proposition
looking toward settlement which did
not materialize. The strikers, on the
other hand, claim that a trump card
Is still to be played, which will win
for them. Mitchell, Fahy, Nichols and
the others present from this section
refuse to give any information as to
what transpired at Harrisburg, but
somp of the local lenders declare that
legislation for the improvement of the
wnrkingman's condition was the topic
under discussion and some conclusions
were arrived at.
The operntnrs nr? conceding that
the present miners' organization Is the
strongest yet known, nnd some of
thoe who a'-e In constant touch with

at the tenacity of the strikers nnd
wonder where th money conies from

tneir amines. 1 here ((U.S m,t appear

that the miners are being well fed
and kept from want by the relief and
other funds raised for this purpose.
FATAL RIOT ON A TRAIN
Fight Eetween Negro Excursionists
Resulted In One Death.
Dover, Did., Sept. lfi. A free-for-all
fight among 3" or more negroes on the
excursion train of the Queen Anne
Kailrond from Rehoboth, Del., to
Queenstown, Md., occurred as the
train was leaving Itehoboth. One col
ored man was shot, and he died when
the train reached Denton, Md. At
Hickman, Del., terror reigned to such
an extent that Fred Clifton, the con
ductor, had no control over the crowd,
who threatened his life if he inter
fered. Windows were smashed and
several persons were seriously In
jured. The sheriff of Caroline county was
telegraphed to meet the train at Hick
man, but he had not arrived when the
train left. The sheriff of Centreville,
Md., was sent for, and he, with sev
eral deputies, took a special car over
the Queen Anne road to Queenstown,
where several arrests were made. The
white passengers on the train fled to
the baggage car for protection.
Morgan Buys Steamships.
London, Sept. 1G. A dispatch re
ceived by a news agency from Liver
pool says that J. Pierpont Morgan has
purchased from I. B. Kllerman. chair
man of the Leyland line of steamers,
five steamers engaged in trade be
tween Antwerp and Montreal. It is
understood, the dispatch says, that
the vessels acquired by Mr. Morgan
will be managed by the Leyland lino.
Mrs. Goelet's Housekeeper Killed.
Newport, It. I., Sept. 1G. Mrs. Mar
garet Hlake, housekeeper for Mrs.
Ogden Goelet, was killed in the ele
vator at the Goelet villa yesterday af
ternoon. She was about to leave or
to step from the elevator at the sec
ond floor, and was crushed' between
the car and the floor. At the moment
of her death, Grand Duke Horls and his
suite, Mrs. Goelet and Miss Goelet
were leaving the villa and were called
back by the death screams of the wom
an. They were unable to render aid,
as the woman was dead. The body
was removed by the servants.
ROOSEVELT DISPLEASED
Rev. Washburn's Sermon On Trusts
Disapproved By the President.
Oyster Bay. N. Y., Sept 15. Rev.
Dr. Henry Homer Washburn, rector
of Christ Fpiscopal Church, In the
presence of President Roosevelt and
his family and a congregation that
tilled the church to overflowing, yes
terday preached a sermon In which he
devoted considerable attention to
"possibility of danger coming by and
through the unguarded use of great
wealth concentrated in the hands of a
few," nnd In which he also stated that
"if ever circumstances indicated that
one was placed providentially in the
executive chair of the nation, then the
circumstances that attended the pro
motion of Mr. Roosevelt so indicated."
Yesterday was the first anniversary
of the death of President McKInley,
nnd .the president had requested Mr.
Washburn to hold memorial services.
The announcement that this would be
done, and that President Roosevelt
would be present, served to draw a
large crowd to Christ Church, which
the president nttends while here. The
first part of the rector's sermon was
devoted to an eulogy of the life and
character of the martyred McKInley,
and to this the president listened at
tentively. Hut when in the second
part of the sermon Mr. Washburn
took occasion to speak of the possibil
ity of danger coming through certain
trusts and also to laud the president,
Mr. Roosevelt became restive. His
face colored and he plainly showed
signs of disapproval of the rector's
utterances. At the conclusion of the
sermon he turned to Mrs. Roosevelt,
who sat beside him, and whispered:
"He should not have done that."
After the prayer, and before the
Litany, the congregation Sang "Near
er, My God, to Thee," kneeling. An
other of Mr. McKinley's favorite
hymns, "Lead, Kindly Light," was also
sung. The services closed with the
hymn, "Our Father's God, to Thee,"
sung to the tune of "America."
