MINER8 ANDiOPERATORS TO SET
TLE THEIR DIFFERENCES.
THE COMMISSION ADJOURNS
Disposition to Avoid Prolonged eHar
Ing of Cause Ten Per Cent In
crease, Nine-Hour Day and Trade
Agreement.
i SCRANTON, Pa. Tho miners and
mine owners havo agreed to attempt
to adjust their differences without tho
aid ot tho Btrlko commission. Tho
reposition was mado on a compro
mise basis, and negotiations, It Is ex
pected, will at once bo entered upon,
with a reasonable hopo ot settlement.
Tho proposition which is to form
tho basis of negotiations, comprise
three points.
1. A 10 per cent Increase In wages.
2. A nine-hour day.
3. A trade agreement between the
men and their employer. '
Tho only ono of tho fbur demands
not touched upon is that of weighing
coal by tho legal ton. While both
sides havo expressed a willingness to
settle- their differences among them
solves, this does not necessitate tho
acceptance of tho torms proposed.
They aro only mentioned as a basis
for tho negotiations and it is possible
the whole Bcheme may be wrecked by
cither party holding out too strongly
on somo one point, and thus forcing
tho whole matter back into the hands
of the commissioners, who in the
meantime will act as a sort of a
board of conciliation.
Tho move created a wild sonsation
when it becarao known. It Is said
It was all brought about by both sides
seeing that tho proceedings before tho
commission would be Indeterminable,
and in tho intermingling of lawyers,
tho present proposition materialized.
It cannot bo officially stated which
party first made tho suggestion. At
torneys for both sides are averse to
talking and different Btorle3 aro afloat
Counsel for one of tho railroads said
It camo from tho miners side, while
ono lawyer for tho miners said it
camp from tho operators. Another
representative of tho minors said it
was a "spontaneous" proposition. It
'is generally believed, however, that
tho operators wero the first to make
tho proposition.
"Wayne MncVeagh, is indeed, gener
ally given credit for the present sit
, nation. He went to New York after
ho had finished with Mr, Mitchell and
had a conference with certain per
sons, among them, it Is said, with J.
P. Morgan.
Tho commissioners wero Informed of
tho new turn of affairs Friday night
and acquiesced in the arrangement.
The proposition did not even directly
como up during the public hearing
Friday, and adjournment was made,
nominally, to permit both sides to
complete their documentary evidence.
Clarence S. Darrow, near tho close
of tho session, suggested that tho
miners' be given, more time to prepare
their evidence. They wanted to pre
sent the wago statements of thou
sands of miners, and they found the
task a stupendous one. They also
wanted to carefully examine tho com
panies books and this, too, would
take considerable time.

Some people always appear to be
hopelessly mildewed.
AS TO ILLEGAL FENCING.
Mosby Takes Issue Regarding an In
terview. WASHINGTON. Colonel Mosby,
special agent of tho general land of
fice, charged with tho duty of report
ing illegal fences on tho public do
main in Nebraska, is not at all satis
fled with tho Interview which was pub
lished, with District Attornoy Sum
mers. Colonel Mosby Btatcd ho had
nfado no agreement with District At
torney Summers that proceedings In
court against tho fenco men s hould
bo withheld Until after sixty days had
expired. Ho stated that ho had no
lawful right to make such an agree
ment, nor had tho district attorney.
"My letters to Colonel Summers,"
said Colonol Moody, "will show that
I complained against tho violation of
tho fencing law in Nebraska long since
and that I Btated that the statutes re
garding Illegal fencing were a dead let
tec bo far as Nebraska was concerned.
Tho general land office, In its instruc
tions, directs special agents to glvo to
cattlemen sixty days notice within
which to pull down tho fences, but tho
act of congress requires a district at
tornoy to instituto suit to remove a
fenco as soon as an affidavit Is filed
complaining ot it. I had no right to
repeal tho Btat'utc. I was appointed
to enforce tho law by calling tho at
tention of tho district attornoy to
illegal fences and it was his business
to bring suit to remove tho somo. If
Mr. Summers has not been apathetic
then why has ho not resented my
letters complaining of his apathy?
The letters which I 'have written to
him regarding this matter, covering
a period of several months, aro made
part of my report. Complaints were
Died a year ago with Mr. Summers
against Miller & Lelth for tho notori
ous negro entries which appear in the
Alliance land offico and Inter complaint
was filed with this same officer of tho
government calling attention to ille
gal fences which they maintained, yet
nothing was done by Mr. Summers to
correct these gross violations of tho
statutes."
THEY THANK ADMIRAL CASEY.
Gallant Seaman Is the Lion of the
Hour.
PANAMA The Stnr and Herald
says that at the conference on board
tho Wisconsin a distinguished son of
Undo Sam, Roar Admiral Silas Ca
sey, acted as a mediator and peace
make, which conduct, it remarks, re
flects great credit on a nation whose
motives for doing good are too fre
quently disparaged. Admiral Casey,
in a brilliant speech, extended to the
negotiators his heartfelt good wishes,
highly praising them for their judg
ment and patriotism and their ar
rangement of such an extremely deli
cate matter.
General Cohas, chief of Minister of
Stato Perdomo's staff, mado an elo
quent reply to this speech, and in tho
namo of Colombia thanked the gal
lant admiral for tho hospitality and
attention tho negotiators had received
on board his flagship, and also for his
generous intervention In the arrange
ment to bring about peace in that
zone of Colombian territory.
MANILA WANTS GOLD MONEY.
Silver Drops Again, Squeezing Bust-
nees and Government Men.
MANILA Sliver has suffered a
further decline and the government
has Isucd a proclamation making tho
official rate $2.60 for $1.00 gold. Tho
former rate was $2.50.
Tho possibility of Mexico and the
Straits Settlement adopting a gold
standard have greatly weakened the
Indiana and Asiatic silver market.
Large quantities of Mexican silver are
coming from China, as it is believed
that much gold is being circulated
here on account of government ex
penditures. Native officials are beginning to pe
tition for salaries to be paid In gold.
The secretary of finance sayB;
"There Is nothing to Indicate a more
hopeful futuro for the currency ques
tion. It will probably bo as bad as
now, if not worse, until congress acts
and gives us a stablo currency."

phia & Reading railway notifying tho
heads ot all departments that "taking

take in the 10 per cent increase all
around, as was the case of tho Penn
sylvania company, for tho reason, it is
said, that many Reading employes aro
now receiving higher salaries than
those paid by tho Pennsylvania and
other roads in this section.

CARACA8, Venezuela. Discussing
Venezuela's foreign relations. Dr. Lo
pez Barnlt, minister ot tho interior,
said:
"Towards tho United States Vene
zuela entertains tho kindliest feelings
of friendship and eho remembers with
gratltudo tho attitude of tho great
republic in tho pasL Venezuela Is de
termined, so far as she Is concerned,
that nothing shall occur to disturb
In tho slightest degreo tho existing
understanding with the American le
gation and the friendly relations be
tweon tho two countries. Venezuela
has nothing to complain of ovor tho
way tho various questions havo been
treated, and oxcept for somo ponding
questions her foreign relations have
been of a cordial character,
"Tho EngllBh government at Trin
idad published a fow days ago an of
ficial decrco declaring tho blockado
of tho Orinoco null and void. If thcro
Is any place where tho blockade Is
effectlvo It Is the Orinoco, for, besides
tho land defenses, we havo maintained
Bovoral gunboats which havo efficient
ly performed tlioro all tho duties ap
pertaining to a blockado.
"Tho English, too, aro Inconsistent,
for whilo ono journal at Trinidad
published the decreo declaring tho
blockade to bo ineffective tho Mirror,
another publication, insists that Ven
ezuela Is loyally fulfilling her inter
national duty In this respect. The
British sloop-of-war Fantomo entered
tho Orinoco without permission, and
President Castor has directed a pro
test against this infringement on
Venezuelan sovereignty. It has been
recognized that tho principal foreign
ships Bhall ask permission to enter
tho mouth of tho river, and wo can
not understand tho disregard of this
rule.
"A similar protest has been sent
regarding the action of tho -German
warship Panther, which also entered
tho Orinoco without permission.
"Another act which has provoked
astonishment wa3 the hoisting of the
British flag on the island of Patos.
Venezuela's right to this island can
not bo questioned. Geographically,
historically and politically It is Vcn
enezuelan territory.
"With tho Island of Trinidad it 1b
recognized as forming part of tho old
Spanish colony by tho treaty of Am
iens.' Trinidad was ceded to Great
Britain, but Patos remained, and was
recognized as an integral part of Ven
ezuela. The EngllBh claim to PatoB
la in no wlso based on tho act of the
former Spanish government and was
not recognized by Spain. If further
reorganization of Venezuelan's right
Is needed, the fact that the island is
situated scarcely three miles from the
mainland, while it is ten minutes from
Trinidad, is sufficient
"Venezuelan's position is Bhown by
tho facility with which wo have re
plied to every argument in support of
tho British contention. Patos island
is Venezuela's and must remain so."

Several reasons nro assigned by rail
road officials for a readjustment, of

bolng tho increased cost of material
twhlch is usqd in railroad construc

seo why tho cost of every other com
modity which is for salo Is increased
and freight rates stay down. It Is ex

railroads will bo ablo to mntntnln
