SCRANTON Pa The miners and mine owners have agreed to attempt to adjust their differences without the aid of the strike commission The proposition was made on a compro mise basis and negotiations it is ex pected will at once be entered upon with a reasonable hope of settlement The proposition which is to form the 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 The only one of the four demands not touched upon is that of weighing coal by the legal ton While both sides have expressed a willingness to settle their differences among them selves this does not necessitate the acceptance of the terms proposed They are only mentioned as a basis for the negotiations and it is possible the whole scheme may be wrecked by either party holding out too strongly on some one point and thus forcing the whole matter back into the hands of the commissioners who in the meantime will act as a sort of a board of conciliation The move created a wild sensation when it became known It is said it was all brought about by both sides seeing that the proceedings before the commission would be indeterminable and in the intermingling of lawyers the present proposition materialized It cannot be officially stated which party first made the suggestion At torneys for both sides are averse to talking and different stories are afloat Counsel for one of the railroads said it came from the miners side while one lawyer for the miners said it came from the operators Another representative of the miners said it was a spontaneous proposition It is generally believed however that the operators were the first to make the proposition Wayne MacVeagh is indeed gener ally given credit for the

Regarding an In terview WASHINGTON Colonel Mosby special agent of the general land of fice charged with the duty of report ing illegal fences on the public do main In Nebraska is not at all satis fied with the interview which was pub lished with District Attorney Sum mers Colonel Mosby stated he had made no agreement with District At torney Summers that proceedings in court against the fence men s hould bo withheld until after sixty days had expired He stated that he had no lawful right to make such an agree ment nor had the district attorney My letters to Colonel Summers said Colonel Moody will show that I complained against the violation of the fencing law in Nebraska long since and that I stated that the statutes re garding illegal fencing were a dead let ter so far as Nebraska was concerned The general land office in its instruc tions directs special agents to give to cattlemen sixty days notice within which to pull down the fences but the act of congress requires a district at torney to institute suit to remove a fence as soon as an affidavit is filed complaining of it I had no right to repeal the statute I was appointed to enforce the law by calling the at tention of tho district attorney to illegal fences and it was his business to bring suit to remove the same If Mr Summers has not been apathetic then why has he 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 are made part of my report Complaints were filed a year ago with Mr Summers against Miller Leith for the notori ous negro entries which appear -in the Alliance land office and later complaint was filed with this same officer of the government calling attention to ille gal fences which they maintained yet nothing was done by Mr Summers to correct these gross violations of the statutes THEY THANK ADMIRAL CASEY Gallant Seaman is the Lion of the Hour PANAMA The Star and Herald says that at the conference on board the Wisconsin a distinguished son of Uncle Sam Rear 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

patriotism and their ar P Morgan rangement of such an extremely deli The commissioners were informed of the new turn of affairs Friday night i and acquiesced in the arrangement j The proposition did not even directly j come up during the public hearing Friday and adjournment was made nominally to permit both sides to complete their documentary evidence Clarence S Darrow near the close of the session suggested that the miners be given more time to prepare their evidence They wanted to pre sent the wage statements of thou sands of miners and they found the task a stupendous one They also wanted to carefully examine the com nanies books and this too would take considerable time MORE SUPPORT FOR CANNON Michigan and Ohio Will Both Vote for Him for Speaker GRAND RAPIDS Mich Ten of the

and attention the 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 Busi ness and Government Men MANILA Silver has suffered a further decline and the government has isued a proclamation making the official rate 260 for 100 gold The former rate was 250 The possibility of Mexico and the Straits Settlement adopting a gold standard have greatly AveaTcened 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 says There is nothing to indicate a more hopeful future for the currency ques tion It will probably be as bad as now if not worse until congress acts and gives us a stable currency Reading Advances Wages PHILADELPHIA A circular letter was issued Tuesday by the Philadel phia Reading railway notifying the heads cf all departments that taking effect November 1 1902 the

Per mission Protests Against German War Ships Landing Along Shore CARACAS Venezuela Discussing Venezuelas foreign relations Dr Lo pez Baralt minister of the interior said Towards the United States Vene zuela entertains the kindliest feelings of friendship and she remembers with gratitude the attitude of the great republic in the past Venezuela is de termined so far as she is concerned that nothing shall occur to disturb in the slightest degree the existing understanding with the American le gation and the friendly relations be tween the two countries Venezuela has nothing to complain of over the way the various questions have been treated and except for some pending questions her foreign relations have been of a cordial character The English government at Trin idad published a few days ago an of ficial decree declaring the blockade of the Orinoco null and void If there is any place where the blockade is effective it is the Orinoco for besides tho land defenses we have maintained several gunboats which have efficient ly performed there all the duties ap pertaining to a blockade The English too are inconsistent for while one journal at Trinidad published the decree declaring the blockade to be ineffective the Mirror another publication insists that Ven ezuela is loyally fulfilling her inter national duty in this respect The British sloop-of-war Fantome entered the Orinoco without permission and President Castor has directed a pro test against this infringement on Venezuelan sovereignty It has been recognized that the principal foreign ships shall ask permission to enter the mouth of the river and we can not understand the disregard of this rule A similar protest has been sent regarding the action of the German warship Panther which also entered the Orinoco without permission Another act which has provoked astonishment was the hoisting of the British flag on the island of Patos Venezuelas right to this island can not be questioned Geographically historically and politically it is enezuelan territory With the Island of Trinidad it is recognized as forming part of the old Spanish colony by the treaty of Am iens Trinidad was ceded to Great Britain but Patos remained and was recognized as an integral part of Ven ezuela The English claim to Patos is in no wise based on the act of the former Spanish government and was not recognized bv Spain If further reorganization of Venezuelans 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 Venezuelans position is shown by the facility with which we have re plied to every argument in support of the British contention Patos island is Venezuelas and must remain so Russia Employs
