urged -he contending parties to cease
strife in the interests of the public
welfare, the miners through the pres
ident of their union expressed a wfll
lajraess to submit differences to arbi
tration of a tribunal to be named by
President Roosevelt and to enter into
an agreement to abide by terms fixed
by the arbitration board for a period
.of from one to five years, and the
employers, through the presidents of
the railroad and ccal companies and
a leading independent mine owner,
squarely refused arbitration, denounc
ed the miners labor organization as
a .lawless and anarchistic body with
which they could and would have no
-ceslinss. demanded federal troops to
insure complete protection to work

' the miners union, and offered. If the
men returned to work, to submit
grievances at individual colleries to
the decision of the judges of the court
of common pleas for the district of
Pennsylvania in which the colliery
was located. There the matter closed.
3oth the miners and the operators

win return to their several localities;
each saynnj at a late hour that the
struggle will continue.
The immediate parties to the strike
say they wil continue as heretofore.
"What course the administration will
tajfe next no one is prepared to say.
One of the operators, as he left the
white house with closely set jaw. was
asked regarding this and replied -
"If any one Irnows what the pres
ident will do next, that is mere than
I know.
Fourteen men. including the pres
ident, .were in the second story front
room at the temporary white house
during the momentuous conference.
President Mitchell and three of bis
district leaders represented the miners
and five railroad men and one inde
pendent mine operator the employers.
"With the president was Attorney Gen
eral Knox. Commissioner of Labor
"Wright, and Scretary Cartelyou.
"What took place at the meeting is
set out in ample statements made by
each side and given out to the press
by themselves and also officially at
th white house. Burin? the confer
ence the president listened to both
sides with the greatest eagerness.
TURNS DOWN THE JAPANESE.
Chicago Judge Vainly Searches for
Precedent to Naturalize Japanese.
CHICAGO, Oct. 4. After vainly
searching for some legal precedent
that would justify a different decision
Judge Carter has refused to grant
naturalisation papers to Lee Guy
Dean, a Japanese who made applica.
tion with a view to becoming a citizen
of the United States.
"The statute on naturalization."
said Judge Carter, "reads that any
free white man. or any native of Af
rica, or any alien of African descent,
may be naturalized, but that does not
apply to Mongolians, and a Japanese
is surely a Mongolian.
The only decision bearing directly
on the case which Judge Carter could
find was cue mace bv a Massachusetts
court, and that was to the effect that
an application from such a course
could not be granted.

ed that the expedition had been short

ing statement:
"There is not a wsrd cf truth in
the report of our not having sufficient
supplies. It is not easy to explain the
trouble between myself and Captain
Johannsen. He wanted to be the
whole thing. That's alL The trouble
first started between the captain, or
to give his proper title, sailing mas
ter, and the ice pilct, whose name is
Amsen. The ice pilot took up his
place in the crew's nest on the ship
wken we were in the ice fields and
should have had and eventually did
have complete charge cf directing the
ship.
"The sailing master objected to the
ice pilot holding absolute sway ever
the movements at any time, and that
is how the row began. L of course.
took the side of the pilot and saw
that he was kept in command while
we were in the ice. The pilot had had
twenty-nine years' experience on the
Ice fiefilds. while the sailing master
had had practically none.
"The expedition went away with
forty-two persons on board and we
brought back the same number. Fram
drifted around in the ice for four
years, while in one year we did al
most as much and established an out
post. Why, we ought to be congrat
ulated instead cf. as you say in
America, jumped upon. I have learn
ed ens good lesson though never
take a Swede and a Norwegian to

avoid trouble. The ice pilot was a
Norwegian and the sailing master a
Swede. There's the whole thing; in.

the crowd. The members of this ex
pedition were mostly young men
and very few of them had ever un
dertaken such a trip before. This
might explain some of the things said
about me, but I am being done a great
injustice.
"We were sending balloons and
buoys adrift, containing messages,
continually. Altogether we sent over
300 messages. Fifteen balloons were
sent rrp. but they never reached their
destinations. The metecrlog'cal ob
servations and the dredging will be cf
great interest to science. We manu-
f,-rTp, n.. v-ro- -
j the balloons without accident, which
is another thing we deserve credit for.
The knowledge gained of air currents
will also be cf great value to science.
I still believe that when the pole is
reached it will be found to be sur
rounded by ice. As to the fate of
Andre. I think he went down into the
sea."

LEARNING ABOUT BEE CULTURE
Agriculture Department

Frank Benton of Washington. D. C

been connected with the department
of agriculture, has been spending n
week in this city in the capacity ef
special investigator for the depart

Dr. J. L. Gaudy of this city on the
subject of bee culture. The latter
gentleman has been most successful
in raising bees from a financial point
of view and his articles in some of
the bee joemals nave attracted wide

his, theories coacemiac the cultivation
of honey-producing plants is consider
ably at variance with the old estab
lished ideas cf bee keepers in this and
adjoining counQes'and'oa a greatmany'
of the farms he main rains apiaries
and claims the product from these
enables him to purchase an auditional
farm each year. Professor Benton
expressed himself as well pleased
with Nebraska in general and Rich
ardson county in particular and finds
this section particularly suited to bee
culture. He is a man of wide research
having spent eleven years in varions
foreign countries investigating this
and kindred subjects, and talks most
intelligently of the subject in hand.
