STORY RESULT OF A MISUNDERSTANDING rtMtloa Mai ta Vatleaa that la th Appalattneat of ftepreaefcta tlTa to Manll a And loaa Ba Named. ROME, July 19. Th dispatch from Rom published In th Daily Chronicle of London today asserting that th pop is Intensely displeased at the way in which the commission of cardinals haa conducted the negotiations with Judge Taft in the matters of the friars- In the Philippines that he haa annulled the procedure of the commission and has summarily dissolved it, expressing th view that the American demands were reasonable and signifying his readiness to treat with Judge Taft personally, is based on aa entlr misun derstanding of th situation. The commission of cardinals was not summarily dissolved. Its work ended with the acceptsnca of Cardinal Rampolla'a proposition to defer further discussion of the negotiations to Manila. As all the partlea agreed to thla It la absurd to say that the pope Is desirous of personally treating with Judge Taft. On the con trary, the pope has expressed the high est satisfaction with the result of the ne gotiations. He said: "Having started di rect relations with Washington Is one of the happiest events of my pontificate." Interest In the Philippine question now centers In the appointment of an apostollo elcgat to Manila, aa It ia considered the selection will be an indication of real In tentions of the holy see. Governor Taft haa unofficially Intimated to the Vatican that the appointment of an American prelate would be preferred and mentioned the name of th Rt. Rev. George Montgomery, bishop of the diocese of Monterey and Los Angeles. It Is thought to be impossible to select Bishop Thomas O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, 8. D., because of his participation In the negotiations hare. Doubt, however, ia expressed about the Vatican appointing an American, aa th opinion la expressed in pontifical circles that an entirely Independent delegate la required to properly deal with the ques tions at issue. Heed for Delegate. WASHINGTON, July 19. No matter how the negotiations at Rom end, In the event that at the last moment the Vatican offi cial should accept the principal proposi tion advanced by Governor Taft, it Is be lieved her that it will still be necessary for the apostollo delegate referred to In Cardinal Rampolla'a not to go forward to Manila in the capacity of an appraiser of the friars' properties. Monslgnor Broderick, private secretary of Monaignor Sbarettl, called at the War de partment today and had a conference with Secretary Root, the aubatanc of which baa not been made public. Monslgnor Broder lck's principal, Monsigor 6barettl, has been In Washington for many weeks. He started from Rome, preceded by a declaration that he had been named aa archbishop at Manila, but when he reached Waahlngton on his way to the Orient, he waa detained at th Catholic Jegatlon here. It waa th original understanding that in his capacity of archbishop of Manila, If ha was appointed to that post, he waa to. negotiate directly with Governor Taft re specting the church matters In th Philip pines, including the friars lands ques tion. Th outoome at Rome, taken In con nection with Monslgnor Broderick' call, baa led to the belief that Monslgnor Sbar ettl Is, after all, to be archbishop of Ma nila. At any rate, It la understood that ha la to continue his Journey to th Philippines and if he does not fill the post mentioned, he may atlll be named as apostollo dele gate there In view of the experience he has had in the same line In adjusting the status of the Cathollo church properties In Cuba with Governor Wood, while Monslg nor Sbarettl was bishop of Cuba.

The convention of the United Mine Workers adjourned at o'clock this afternoon after declaring against a general strike, providing for the raising of a fund with which to aid the trlklng anthracite mlnera and Issuing an appeal to the American people tor sup port. The recommendations brought In by the pedal committee appointed in th executive session of yesterday, and which are prac tically Identical with those suggested by President Mitchell In his address on the rtt dsy of the convention, and unanimously adopted by the convention, are as follows: 1. That the national treasurer be author ised and directed to Immediately appro priate loO.OnO from the funds of the national treasury ana Place li at me oiuoi u; the officers of dlmrlcts No. 1, 7 and 9 (these are the anthracite districts). . 2. That all districts, subdlstrlrts and local union be appealed to to donate surplus In their treasury as large an amount as they can afford. , a That an aaneaiimcnt of 10 per cent be levied on the gross earnings oi an mem ben of local unions In districts Nos. 6, 8. 12, 19, 23 and 25, and an assessment of 81 ner week tinnn all members of local unions in district ros. i, e, n, ia, n. io, is, t nd 21. The members of districts now on trlke which may resume work before this ssesement has been removed, shall oe as- sensed either 10 per cent of their gross earnlnrs or $1 Per week, whichever the district may decide from th time work Is resume. 4. The assessment shall be paid direct from the local unions to the national sec retary, and th local unions will be held responsible for the payment of the same. 8. An assessment of 26 per cent will be levied upon the wsges, salary or percent age received from th organisation of all national, district and aubdlstrlct officers and organisers. . The assessment snail oegin wun me 18th day of July. 1902. 7. All contributions made from the na tlonal ofllro to the anthracite realon will be divided pro rata to each anthracite dis trict in accordance wun me numuer ui miners arid mine laborers in each of them, a shown by the most recent coal reports. To Find Work for th Strikers, It waa voted that each local union In the regions that are at work aelect a commutes which ahall secure work for aa many of th men on strike as possible In the lo caltty where the local union la situated and that the aame request be made of, the local unions of the American Federation of Labor and also that oommlttees be ap pointed by local unions to canvass th busi ness men In their localities for subscrip tions. Ia accordance with the recommeodatlona of the special commute It waa voted to Issue an address to the publio. This addreaa as reported by the committee, aaya: When wji inolr tinnn the enormous for- time thr.t our labor has made possible with the Innumerable comfort and luxuries fhat It brlnva to the people, at large, and then examine the paltry pittance we receive as wagvs tor tne labor we nave to periorm, in. nunr.ri we unnera-n. ine aamuneea wo must endure, the foul air we must breathe and the peculiar rheumatlo and lung trou bles, superinduced by these conditions arhixh u iniiat hear, wa naturally feel thtt w ar being .unjustly dealt with in the small amount of this world's goods which we receive In return for so mucn taoor ann so many sacrifices. Have Bouarht Better Wattes, .On, hundred and flftv thousand Of our craftsmen In the anthracite region of Penn sylvania, have sought to procure better war anfl reiiAT irom many Katun cuum- tlon under which they hay been compelled to latxir in tne pasi. iney nave inru atverv honorable means known to clvlllsoa men to adjust the grievances with their emDioyers. wunout resoriin io a nnt, In thla thev have failed because the ftn filoyers have assumed to be the only parties nterestcd In all the questions involving the operation of the mines, a position that hn not been sustained by the Conditions existing since a stoppage of work haa taken place. . Borne of the coal operators have been quoted as aaylng that-the question Is not ons of wages, but they believe It to be an opportune time to destroy the union. Whether they have mado this statement or not, their actions Indicate that their pur pose Is to destroy our organisation. - If It Is ths purpose of the coal operators to destroy our union, then, upon the princi ple that eell-preservaiion is me umi imw of nature, we would be fully Justified In taklna- drastic measure to prevent . th accomplishment of their designs. W bo- Ueve we have witnin our reacn me mrmn by which that purpose can be thwarted. No legal power can compel us to work If we desire to remain idle. We believe that our Interests In the com munity of which we are a part and our obligations to the operatore with whom we have agreements require that we shall not Inaugurate a general auspenalon of work In the coal trad. They may destroy our union, but they cannot make ua violate our contracts. The struggle In the anthracite region will be continued until our demands have been granted or a competent noara or aroitra tion ha declared that we are wrong. Mora Money Needed. The rare of 150.000 men and their families In a protracted struggle, such as this is likely to be will require the expenditure tt a large sum of money in the purchase cf food.
