THE GRAND ARMY ANNUAL IS AT
AN END.

The Vote en Location.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 1L The en
oasapaient of the Grand Army of the
Republic for 1902 came to a close yes
terday, although a few social gath
erings may assemble today. San Fran
oisco was chosen as the next plare of
and the election of oAcers
the day before was completed.
The kindred bodies to the parent or-
lization also brought their several
conventions to a close, the Sons of
Veterans, Woman's Relief corps and
other bodies choosing officers for the
oasuing year.
The Union Veterans' association had
a lively day and the final result was
a split in the organization.
The first row was over a question
of eligibility to membership. A reso
lution was adopted that let down the
bars too much to suit some of the
state delegations with a large mem
bership in the order. This caused ill
feeling.
Later the friction In the union de
veloped rapidly in consequence of the
adoption by a committee which bad
been instigating the character and
conduct of Commander-in-Chief Dy
renforth of a report recommending his
sjospension.
General Dyrenforth was presiding
over the convention when the commit
tee endeavored to report. He refused
to surrender his office. Turbulent
scenes followed until finally a large
element of the organization withdrew,
those remaining re-electing Feneral
Dyrenforth and the seceders taking
steps to form a new union.
The Grand Army of the Rpublic de
cided by a large vote to hold Its en
campment In 1S03 at San Francisco,
Cal. Practically the only competitor
was Atlantic City, but a few vote3 were
cast for Saratoga. The chances of the
last named place were destroyed by
the decision of the New York delega
ttlon to support San Francisco, and
When the solid vote of that delegation
cast for the Pacific coast city it
recognized that Atlantic City's
respects were vcy slim.
General Shaffer made the speech
Bominatlng San Francisco, while De
partment Commander Hall of New Jer
sey named Atlantic City. The vote
was: San Francisco, 753; Atlantic
City, 178. The selection of San Fran
cisco was then made unanimous.
STRIKE MUST GO ON.
Now York Conference Ends in Seem
ingly Permanent Deadlock.
NEW YORK, Oct. 11. After two
days of -conference between the op
erators, the governor and the senior
senator of New York and two sen
ators from Pennsylvania, the miners'
strike is apparently as far from a set
tlement as ever.
Governor Odell laid before the op
erators the proposition that If they
would concede an advance of 5 cents
per ton in the price of mining coal he
would promise that the miners would
go to work, but on being told the con
cession would carry with it the recog
nition of the miners' union, the operat
ors promptly refused the proposal and
took their leave.

fell head first into the barrel. Her po
sition was such that she could not use
her arms.

WILL NOT RESUME
MR. MITCHELL'S LETTER TO THE
PRESIDENT.
HIS REPLY IS UNFAVORABLE
Definitely Refuses Roosevelt's Sug
gested Resumption Pending Investi
gation Miners, He Says, Have No
Confidence in the Operators.
WASHINGTON. Oct 11. The fol
lowing was made public at the White
House:
WILKESBARRE. Pa., Oct 8. Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, Washington, D. C:
Dear Sir Hon. Carroll D. Wright has
no doubt reported to you the delivery
of your message to me last Monday
and my statement to him that I should
take your suggestion under advise
ment, although I did not look upon it
with favor.
Since that time I have consulted
with our district p-esldenta, who con
cur fully In my views.
We desire to assure you again that
we feel keenly the responsibility of
our position and the gravity of the
situation, and it would give us great
pleasure to take any action which
would bring this coal strike to an end
in a manner that would safeguard the
interests of our constituents.
In proposing that there be an im
mediate resumption of coal mining
upon the conditions we suggested in
the conference at the White House
we believed that we had gone more
than half way and had met your
wishes.
It is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to the malicious assault made
upon us in the response of the coal op
erators. We feel confident that you
must have been impressed with the
fairness of our proposition and the in
sincerity of those who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience with
the coal operators in the past, we have
no reason to feel any degree of confi
dence in their williingness to do us
justice in the future, and inasmuch as
they have refused to accept the de
cision of a tribunal selected by you
and inasmuch as there is no law
through which you could enforce the
findings of the commission you sug
gest, we respectfully decline to advise
our people to return to work simply
upon the hope that the coal operators
might be induced or forced to comply
with the recommendations of your
commission.
As stated above, we believe that
we went more than half way in our
proposal at Washington, and we do
not feel that we should be asked to
make further sacrifice.
We appreciate your solicitude for
the people of our country, 'who are now
and will be subjected to great suffer
ing inconvenience by a prolongation
of the coal strike, and we teel that the
onus of this terrible state of affairs
should be placed upon the side whicn
has refused to refer the trouble to a
fair and impartial investigation.
I am respectfully.
JOHN MITCHELL,
President U. M. W. A

INJUSTICE TO THE VETERANS.
Report of Committee Appointed to In
vestigate Pension Office,
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Among
the official documents presented to the
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, which met here today,
was the report of the committee ap
pointed last year to investigate the
administration of the pension office by
the then Pension Commissioner H.
Clay Evans, and to bring the result
of the investigation to the attention
of the president
The first name signed to the report
was that of Gen. Ell Torrance, commander-in-chief,
who stated in his ad
dress that as soon as the report was
brought to President Roosevelt's no
tice the resignation of Commissioner
Evans was accepted.

except Gen. Black, who was unable to
meet with the committee. He says,

port The investigation was conducted in
Washington, and the committee began
its report by saying that Commissioner
Evans gave every opportunity to make
it thorough. Speaking of the results

they say that many of these complaints
were without merit but that on the
other hand many meritorious claims
had been thrown out
"From a personal investigation,"
they say, "we are confident that scores
of claims arc rejected every day that
should be allowed." The responsibil
ity for these rejections is laid princi
pally at the door of the medical di
vision of the pension bureau.

MINERS ANSWER
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO
TINUE THE STRIKE.
CON-
OPERATORS MUST YIELD POINTS
President Roosevelt is Notified of the
Decision Reached by the Local Un
ionsPresident Mitchell Hurries to
New York.
WILKESBARRE, Pa.. Oct. 9. Un
less President Mitchell's hurried visit
to New York bears fruit the end of the
mine workers' strike seems a long way
off and the prospect of sufficient coal
being mined to satisfy the public de
mand is extremely poor. Every local
union of the miners' organization
throughout the hard coal belt held
special meetings, either last, night or"
today and resolved to remain on
strike until the mine owners grant
them some concessions.
While the reports of the meetings
came" pouring into Wilkesbarre, Presi
dent Mitchell dictated a letter to the
president of the United States, in
which he gave his answer to the prop
osition that the strikers return to work
and trust to have their condition im
proved through an investigating com
mittee. What the answer of the miners'
chief is he refused to divulge, but it
Is difficult to conceive that with the
replies of the local unions piled around
him he could do otherwise than re
spectfully decline the president's prop
osition. Mr. Mitchell sent his letter
to Washington before he had heard
from all the locals, and at 3 o'clock
In the afternoon, accompanied by the
three district presidents, left for New
York. His mission there is also a se
cret As New York is the headquar-
ters of the operators, a rumor immedi
ately spread that a settlement was in
prospect, but Mr. Mitchell and his col
leagues would not say whom they ex
pected to meet
From early morning until late to
night the returns from the local unions
came pouring into the union head
quarters, and tonight the corps of
newspaper correspondents stationed
here were invited to examine the re
ports. Briefly stated, the resolutions in the
reports affirm the confidence in the
men; in the integrity, and judgment of
their president; praise President
Roosevelt for his efforts to end the
strike; denounce the presidents of the
coal carrying roads for their alleged
abuse of the chief executive at the
conference in Washington; denounce
the employment of the coal and iron
police; thank all organizations and
citizens throughout the country for
the financial assistance given and de
nounce Gov. Stone for sending troops
here.
Nearly all the resolutions contained
a sentence to the effect that the men
will remain out, though all the troops
in the United States are sent here,
"until they are granted some conces
sions." Additional troops for this region
have not -yet arrived, and the general
strike situation remains unchanaged.
The coal company officials have noth
ing to say beyond the fact that they
are awaiting developments. There is
no increase in the shipment of coal,
very little of which is being produced.
Brigade Posts for Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Oct 9. Secretary
Root has issued an order setting aside
1,800 acres within five miles of Manila
as a military reservation. The place

which are to be erected throughout
the islands. Accommodation will be
furnished for one regiment of infantry,
two squadrons of cavalry, and two bat
teries of artillery.

Ask Rate for Nebraska Corn.
DENVER, Oct 9. The executive
board of the Colorado Cattle and
Horse Growers' association has de
cided to ask the railroads to make a
special rate on corn from Nebraska
and Kansas to Western Colorado so
they could feed cattle through the win
ter. The scarcity of feed because of
drouth on the western range has made
it imperative that the cattle men feed
their stock through the winter in or
der not to lose heavily.
Restore China Manchuria.
PEKIX, Oct. 9. The Manchuriaa
territory lying south of the Liau river
was restored to the Chinese today in
accordance with the Manchurian
agreement. Although reports show an
increase in the trade of Manchuria re
forms are not expected there until the.
evacuation Is completed, as Russia
maintains its objection to the exten
sion of the imperial post to the rail
road and the interior and discourages
trade.
