r.vl title to tho property. Mo
has formally submitted the opinion to
PrtMiIeiu Ueoscvclf. Tho opinion
taken up tho principal object inn;?
whlrh have boon niado In this coun
try l J tho title proposed to ho given
to the United States as follows: 1 -That
the ivw Panama Canal Com
pany h;is net power to s, II tho ra ta!
nnd railway pri.poriV. 2 -That tho
liquidator of the oid Panama Canal
Company has not power to consent
to such nalo. .'. That tho French
courts have not power to authorize
the liquidator nnd the new company,
or either of them, to inter into the
sale. Tfce history and nature of
French companion of the hind In
question are explained nt length. His
investigation shows that tho new
Panama t'ninl Company Is quite sol
Vint, nnd rhoro Is no law forbidding
it to noil. Tho liquidator of the old
company, when lie turned over tho
assets to tho new company, stipulat
ed for tid per cent of the profits of
the canal when finished. It is held
that tho new company has full power
to dispose of the assets of the con
cern nr.d consequently to consent to
tho sale of tho tin per cent which Is
a part of those assets. He holds
that no French court or other au
thority has nower to declare any
French ftatute void. As to tho ob
jection that Congress has authorized
a purchase from tho new company
only, the opinion says: "In view of
the condldon of the title tho purchase
will be from the new company, and
the consent of the liquidator will bo
at. mnst a waiver of rights as to prop
erty transferred to the new company.
What Congress wants is a (rood title
from the owner of certain specified
property, the owner being supposed
to be. and being admittedly in part,
the new company, nnd it is entirely
Justifiable to buy from the owner, al
though tho principal ownership
should be found not to ho in tho com
pany. Whether we believe it Is in
tho new oompnny or tho old com
pany, so long as it is not ono of both,
srms to me altogether immaterial,
since both Join In the proposed sale."
TliA nnlnlnn rlra.-a fta .fnllnwa: "For
the reasons I have given I am of opln-
ion that tho United States would re
ceive a good, valid and unencumber
ed title."

Employes of the different collieries
In the Shenandoah region whoso
places were filled by non union men
during the strike will not be rein
stated. This fact was made plain to
tho men when they repotted nt tho
collieries fer work. Superintendent
Adam Hoyd. of tho Philadelphia nnd
Pending Coal and Iron Company, snid
that his company would take care of
nil men who helped them during the
strike, nnd that nnyone who molested
the workers would be discharged nt
once. Vnder these eondlllotiH a par
tial resumption of activity was mado
Thursday. At nil Inn. two of tho col
lieries steam wan raised for tho first
time in six months. It will take at
leait two weeks before nctlve mining
can be commenced. It will be n
month before 75 per cent of the p:is-r-lblo
output is being mined. The
most serious situation Is tho reten
tion of the non-union men who work
ed the pumps nnd assisted in saving
heavy losses nt the mines by flood
ing. It was for these men the engi
neers, firemen nnd pumpmen that a
fight wns made at the Wilkesbnrre
convention. Those who have re
ceived the edict of their employers,
that their places nre taken, are dis
gruntled. The local unions have been
applied to, but they nre powerless,
unless they repudiate the advIA- of
their president. Superintendent Boyd
In discussing tho matter said: "To
nil men who applied to us for work
we told them that In tho instances
where the places had not been filled
by competent men positions were
waiting for them. Wo propose to
tako care of all the pumpmen, engi
neers and firemen who nliied us dur
ing the strike regnrdles of circum
stances. To employes whose places
nre filled wo have not refused em
ployment in the mines entirely, but
hnve refused them the places that
they formerly held. If they so do
slro they enn go to work In other
positions. When the l.ehlgh Coal
and Navigation Company's miners re
ported for duty in the Panther Creek
valley at Tamnqua they were met by
the officials and told their services
were not needed nt present. At one
of the collieries the men were stop
ped by the guards, who refused to al
low them to report at the colliery of
Pee. The company posted the follow
ing notice: "Any person working1
for this company guilty of Ill-treatment
or molesting any man who hns
worked during the lnte strike, or of
abusing any member of his family,
will bo Immediately discharged." All
the individual operations In this sec
tion resumed full handed Thursday.

With a shout that fairly shook the
convention building the representa

who have been on strike since last
May officially declared off at neon nt
V.'llkesbnrre tho greatest contest ever
waged between capital and labor, nnd
placed all the questions Involved In
the struggle In the hands of the arbi
tration commission appointed by the
President of the United States. While
tho large nnny of mine workers nnd
their families, numbering approxi
mately n half million persons, nie
grateful that work in to bo resumed,
tho striker have still to learn what
their reward will be. President Roose
velt has taken prompt action in call
ing the nrbltrators together for their
first meeting on Friday, the miners
hope they will know by Thanksgiving
day what practical gain they havo
made. The vote to resume coal min
ing was a unanimous one, nnd was
reached only after a warm debate.
The principal objection to accepting
the arbitration proposition was that
no provision was contained in the
scheme to take caro of those men
who would fall to got back their old
positions or would be unable to get
any work at nil. The engineers nnd
pumpmen get hotter pay than other
classes of mine workers, nnd they did
not wish to run the risk of losing alto
Bother their old places and bo com
pelled to dig coal for a living. This
question camo up nnd was argued
right up to the time the vote wns
taken. No one had a definite plan to
offer to overcome the objection, nnd
the report of the committee on reso
lutions recommending that the strike
bo declared off and that nil issues be
placed in the hands of tho arbitra
tion commission for decision was
adopted without the question being set
tled. A few moments before adjourn
ment, however, a partial solution was
reached when a delegate In the far
thest corner of tho hall moved that
the problem be placed in the hands of
the three executive boards for solu
tion, and his suggestion was adopted
After Mr. Mitchell had notified Presi
dent Roosevelt of the action of tho
convention he sent out tho official
announcement that the slrlko
was off. It was ns follows:
You are hereby officially .notified
that It was unanimously decided

Former Sioux Chief, Now a Minister,
Tells the Story for the
First Time.
Rev. Philip Dnlorla, a former Sioux
chief, now an F.plscopallnn rector of
Flora, S. t)., who Is attending tho
council of the Protestant Episcopal
church nt Philadelphia, Pa., said: "It
was only a year ago that I lenrned the
rue story of tho death of General
George A. Custer. I had been the
means of converting n stoical old
warrior named Appearing F.lk. Un
like most Indian braves, ho wns not
much given to boasting of his ex
ploits, but ho was ono of tho mnst
valiant of tho tribe, nnd I knew that
ho had taken many scalps. Appear
ing F.Ik became a fervent Christian,
and one day, nfter he had been bap
tized nnd taken Into the church I
asked him to tell me of his exper
iences in tho battlo of the Little Pig
Horn. Every Sioux wants lo know
who killed Custer, nnd of course, that
wan ono of my first questions. I wan
surprised when tho old man replied:
I did. We had surrounded the last
cluster of soldiers, when my pony
was shot from tinder me. hen I
got on my foot ngnln I discovered
thnt I wns wounded. Suddenly n
man In blue loomed up In front of me.
I knew thnt he wns a chief, but I uui
not know who ha was. He was sway
ing like a drunken ninn front exhntis-
tlon and loss of blood from ninny
bullet nnd arrow wounds. I foiled
him with my tomnhnwk. and then sat
on his body to be sure that I shouldn't
bo robbed of my rights. In order to
make double sure 1 took the revolver
from the holster of tho dead man
nnd stuck it In my belt. I didn't scalp
the man becauso his head was shaved
and I wns ashamed to. 1 know posi
tively," conflniiued Mr. Dnlorla, "that
tho revolver taken by Appearing I-.lk
was subsequently identified as Cus
ter's, and, so far as I have been able
to lenrn from my people and from
what I have rend In your hooks, he
was tho only man In the command
who had his head shaved." Appear
ing Elk died last spring.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Railroads Overtaxed Best Evidence
of a Continuation of the Busi
ness Boom.
R. O. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review
of Trade says: No better evidence
of industrial and commercial activity
is needed than present Inadequate
transporting facilities. Every form
of railway equipment has been in
creased and perfected during the past
lew years to an extent that appeared
almost excessive, yet the Nation's
business has more than kept pace.
Unseasonably mild weather has re
tarded retail trade at many points,
yet the movement of goods is fully
sustained by undiminished prepara
tions for future sales. Distribution
delayed by high temperature Is not
lost, while the agricultural com-'
munlty will profit materially by the
tardiness of frost, increasing their
ability to consume the products of
factories and mills. Labor is more
fully employed than at any recent
date, only a few small controversies
interrupting. Money market pressure
has been removed, and, although se
curities do not respond, legitlmato
trade is not retarded by quiet specu
lation. Earnings of the railways dur
ing October thus far exceed last
year's by 4.5 per cent, and those of
ldOO by 12 per cent Coke Is still the

great demand, imports promising to
continue large, and as the higher duty
on steol will not be exacted, there is
reason to anticipate a liberal move
ment from Germany. The demand for
rails is so great that large purchases
abroad are being negotiated, while
practically all railway supplies find an
eager market. Structural shapes and
other heavy lines of steel are in a
strong position, but there is evidence
of irregularity In wire rods, and
actual weakness In a few lines that
are now offered freely. Tin plate
manufacturers are making a bard
fight to secure the large foreign busi
ness done here under the drawback
arrangement, and a anew method of
production is being perfected that
