NO STRIKE IN BITUMINOUS FIELD. CONTRACTS WILL STAND. President Mitchell Asks Financial Support Only—Miners Will Give Ten Per Cent of Wages. The first day's session Thursday of the extracrdinary convention of the | United Mine Workers of America| demonstrated that the crisis has been | passed and the possibility of a na- tional strike, affecting about 409,000 miners throughout the mining regions of the country, has been eliminated. Following a course that was not alto- | gether unexpected, immediately after the routine business preliminary to the actual work of the assembly was disposed of, President Mitchell, in an address representing his own convic- tions, practically gave voice to the | keynote of the convention's senti- | ment. He said in part: “My views are not in accord with those of some, to declare a general strike. I have, in all my career in labor work, de- clared that contracts should be kept | as long as their lives last. Any ad-| vantages gained in breaking contracts | result in disaster. Such a course would destroy confidence and “array | against our cause all classes of so- ciety. As far as my knowledge goes, | 1 do not know of one solitary sym- | pathetic strike of any magnitude | which has been successful. On the contrary, the most conspicuous among | the sympathetic labor struggles have resulted in ignominious and crushing defeat, not only for the branch of in- dustry originally involved, but also for the divisions participating through sympathy. In my judgment the United Mine Workers should not repeat the mistakes which, like mile- stones, mari the path trod by the toil- ing masses in their never-ceasing struggle for better and higher civili- zation. This, like all great progres- sive movements, has met with rd- | pulse, but, gathering new strength in | adversity, moves forward and onward again in its march to ultimate victory. I am firm in my conviction that the | strike in the anthracite field can and | will be won without repudiating our | solemn contracts with the bituminous operators, provided the bituminous miners will rise to the occasion and do their full duty by their struggling fellow-workers; and with this in mind I submit for your consideration the following specific recommendations: “An appropriation of $50,000 from the national funds to be placed at the disposal of Districts 1, 7 and 9. All district, sub-district and local unions will be appealed to to donate from their treasury surplusses as large | amounts as possible. An assessment | of not less than $1 a week be levied on ad members of local unions, the amount to be collected at the earliest possible moment and forwarded to the national treasurer. An assessment of ?5 per cent be levied on all national, district and sub-district officers whose salaries amount to $60 a month or! more. That all American trade unions and the general public be appealed to for financial assistance to carry the strike to a successful issue. Although the utmost secrecy surrounded the meeting, it was learned upon high au- thority that the anthracite miners finally voted to approve President care of the national organization now will be to see to the collection of the defense fund. Secretary Wilson, who is the financial head of the union, will be in charge of this work. It is be- lieved that all the voluntary contribu- tions from the various districts and sub-districts and local organizations will be turned into his hands within the next ten days. These contribu- tions are estimated at about $400,000. A systematic method will be adopted for canvassing outside subscriptions in the large cities. The miners hope to raise $250,000 a week for the pub- lic contributions, as that much will be needed to bring the sum up to $500,000. AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Unless the vatican accepts this gov- ernment’s terms Governor Taft will leave Rome, Italy, for the Philippines on the 24th. Secretary Root will sail for Europe on July 24 on La Savoie, in company with General Horace Porter, ambas- sador to France. Secretary Cortelyou left Oyster Bay Tuesday for Washington. While in Washington he will adjust and pay all bills in.connection with the as- sassination of President McKinley. Marconi, who is on board the Ital- jan flagship Carlo Alberta at Kron- stadt, Russia, has cabled to his ILon- don office that he has received wire- less signals from the Cornwall sta- tion, about 1,400 miles distant, ‘partly overland. Complete messages were received as far as Skagen, Denmark, about 850 miles from Cornwall. A hundred Ladrones, armed with rifles and bolos. attacked and defeated eight of sthe constabulary near San Mateo, Manila province, Philippine Islands. The losses of the constabu- lary were one man wounded and five men missing. President Roosevelt passed a quiet Sunday at Sagamore Hill. There were no callers. The President and his family attended religious services in the morning at Christ Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Roosevelt is a member. Secretary Root, Adjutant General Corbin, General Leonard Wood and Colonel Wallace Randolph, chief of artillery, visited Camp Ordway to in- spect the District National Guard en- campment at Leesburg, Va.

Wednesday causing a terrible loss of life. Thirty-three men were taken from the mine dead and Two powder magazines foot level ! several others have been recovered in a half dazed condition. The 1,200 level of the Daly-West corresponds to and is connected by tunnel with the 600-level of the Ontario, a mile dis- In the Daly-West mine between 100 and 150 men were at work. In the Ontario were nearly 100 it is be- It is not known how many of these are dead, but the disaster ex- tends to the Ontario, as the noxious gases that have been freed are known to be the cause of several of the deaths. The presence of these gases leads many miners to believe that the powder was burned and that the ex- plosion was not the chief cause of the disaster. The explosion was so tre- mendous that it awakened everyone within a radius of miles. As an ex- ample of its awful force it is said that | two horses in the ore tunnel one and a half miles away were killed by it. Members of a relief party who went into the Ontario mine shortly after the explosion after several hours ab- sence had not returned and fears were entertained for their safety. At the last report it was stated that there were thought to be 105 men still in the workings. McKeaghlin, one of the rescuers, who went down the second time to help, died on being brought to the surface. He was asphyxiated. James Smith, a member of the rescu- ing party who went down, died soon after noon. Jack Balton, a Silver King, miner, who also went down with rescuers, is unconscious and ex- pected to die. The condition of the gas in the mine is such that the res- cue work was abandoned for several hours to allow the gases to escape. Experienced miners say that Jchn Burgy, the “powder money,” was a green man and should not have han- dled explosives. A rescue party found a hand and foot, presumably those of Burgy. CHICAGO STRIKE ENDED. Three Large Roads Settle With Men— Others Wiil Follow. At a conference at Chicago between a committee representing the men in the I.ake Shore freight houses and the officials of the road a settlement of the difference was effected. The adjustment of the controversy was of the State Board of Arbitration. The basis of the settlement for wages was: Check, transfer and receiving clerks for first three months; $535; check, transfer and receiving stocks after first three months, $60; delivery clerks for first three months, $50, and after that period, $55; stores, per hour, for first three months, 18 cents; cents; callers, first three months, 17 cents, and after that 18 cents per . hour; truckers, per hour, first three months, 15 cents, and after, three montths, 17 cents. The officials of the Northwest- ern and the Nickel Plate roads also held conferences with committees of their men, and agreements were reached similar to that of the Lake Shore. MAINE A FAST SHIP. New Sea Fighter Attained High Speed in Preliminary Trial. The new battleship Maine, built by the Cramps to replace the ill-fated Maine, returned to Philadelphia after a satisfactory builders’ trial at sea. The new war vessel proved herself to be a very speedy ship for her size, she averaging 18.29 knots an hour over a measured course. Her contract calls for a speed of 18 knots. In a preliminary run the Maine attained a speed of 19.25 knots an hour, which she maintained for a period of 30. min- utes, Kill and Burn Order Ended. The finding of the court-martial of General Jacob H. Smith, who ordered Major Waller to make Samar a howl ing wilderness, has been approved by the President, and General Smith placed on the retired list. CASSATT SPLITS WITH GOULD. Resigns From the Directorate of His Opponent’s Trust Company. A. J. Cassatt, president of the Penn- sylvania Railroad Company, has re- signed as a director of the Mercantile Trust Company, of New York. The resignation is regarded as significant, owing to its connection with what has transpired hetween Pennsylvania and Gould interests in the dissolution of relations between the Pennsylvania railroad and the Western Union Tele- graph Company and the plans of the Wabash to secure a Pittsburg connec- tion to the seaboard. The Mercan- tile Trust Company has for many years been regarded as fiscal agent for the Gould properties, George J. Gould being prominent in the manage- ment. Baer Has Resigned. John Willis Baer, secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, at Boston, Mass., has tendered his resignation, to take effect October 1, and has accepted a position as as- sistant secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions. Mr, Baer begins his new work in New York Oc- tober 1. Hibernians Strong in Numbers.

DIVIDED N THREE PARIS NEW RAILROAD MAP. Harmony Assured—Fight Between Pennsylvania, New York Central and Gceulds at an End. The railroad territory of the coun- try has been divided. Agreement has been reached between the managers of the New York Central, the Pennsyl- vania and the Goulds whereby the fight has ended between the two for- mer systems and the Goulds. The con- flict, which threatened to upset the railroad and telegraph business of the country, has been stopped abrupt- ly, and the Gould system will be ex- tended to the Atlantic seaboard. In- stead of two parts, the East has now been divided into three. The an- nouncement of the agreement among these interests is the most important railroad item since it was announced on December 5, 1898, that harmonious relations had been established be- tween the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. The agreement Dbe- came necessary when the Goulds de- cided to extend their system to the Atlantic seaboard. The entrance of that system into the Eastern or trunk line field upset the whole railroad situation. The fight that began then has been bitter, and has caused an under-current of alarm throughout financial and railroad circles. Public attention was attracted when Qn- nouncement came that the Goulds’ Wabash system would extend its line to Pittsburg, a point where the rail- road rate situation had been dominat- ed by the Pennsylvania. This plan was decided on when the fight be- tween Andrew Carnegie and the Penn- sylvania was at its height, and before the United States Steel Corporation was formed. The new agreement as to the division of the territory makes a railroad map that is full of interest, even to the person not familiar with railroad ownership and control. First as to importance and novelty is the entrance of the Goulds in the Eastern railroad situation. They control sys- tems with large \mileage in the West and Southwest." and are closely iden- tified with the Harriman lines of rail- roads. This insures an extension of the “community of interest” not only in the East, but alzo in the West and Southwest; in fact, across the con- tinent. The Goulds union with the Pennsylvania and the New York Cen- tral, in both of which case J. Pier- pont Morgan is interested, insures more perfect harmony among all the railroads of the country than was ever possible before. In short, it ap- pears that almost a perfect railroad understanding has been arrived at. Jr. O. U. A. M. Exclusion. State Secretary Edward Deemer, of | the Junior Order United American | Mechanics has approved the decree of | the national judiciary of the organi- zation formally expelling 30,000 mem- | bers, comprising 113 councils in Penn- sylvania, and is sending out notices in compliance with the decree of the ouster to the councils. * During a heavy thunderstorm that passed over the Jennings oil field in Alabama Tuesday a bolt struck the field storage tanks of the Jennings Oil Company, setting them on fire.
