The paper also saye that Oovernor Stone Immediately telegraphed President Mitchell lor a conference and that the meeting be tween the governor and the miners will take place probably today. Tells Different Story. NEW YORK, Sept. 9. Oovernor 8tone of Pennsylvania, who came to this city today, and made an effort to see what could be done In settling the anthracite strike, re turned to Harrlsburg tonight without ap parently being able to accomplish anything. There are rumora that the governor s visit had effect, but George W. Perkins of J. P. Morgan & Co., denied that there was any change In the situation. The governor was accompanied to the - city by Attorney General Elkln and Sen ator Flynn of Pittsburg. The three held a conference of three hours' duration with P. A. B. Widener In the offices of the United States Steel corporation. After th conference had lasted an hour Mr. Widener went to see J. P. Morgan at the letter's office and asked him to use his Influence to end the strike. Ten min utes later he returned to his friends and told them that Mr. Morgan had declined to Interfere. Before leaving the city Gov ernor Btone gave out the following atate tnent: Talks with Morgan. "Attorney General Elkln, Senator Flynn nd myself have been in consultation for several .hours' today with P. A. B. Widener of Philadelphia, who Is a" director of the United Btates Steel corporation and asso ciated with Mr. Morgan In many business Interests. Mr. Widener Is very anxloua to aee the atrlke ended and today took the matter up with Mr. Morgan. We are doing what we can." Oovernor Stone was asked what progress toward a settlement had been made dur ing the conference aad whether any direct communication had been had from Mr. Morgan. To these questions he answered that he had nothing to say beyond whnt was contained In his statement, and that the other members of the party were fledged to silence. Have Nothing- to Say. ' George W. Perkins, speaking for J. P. Morgan Co., said tonight: "We have no comment to make on Governor Stone'e elatement. We have received no official statement as to what occurred at the con ference nor have we heard from Governor Btone alnefl the conference, nor have we anything to say on the strike situation." President Baer of the Philadelphia & Reading, President W. H. Truesdcl of the Delaware, Iackawanna Western and president Thomas P. Fowler of the New York, Ontario ft Western had an informal conference. After It was over President Fowler said the situation had been gone over thoroughly in an Informal way. Mr. Fowler emphatically declared that there was bo change In the attitude of the operators and that noth ng could end tho strike but the unconditional surrender of the striking anthracite miners. CINCINNATI, Sept. 9. A guest of Presi dent Roosevelt during a portion of his trip through Ohio when asked today If the set tlement of the Pennsylvania coal atrlke was discussed said It was. The president said that the printed Interview with btm on that subject waa Imaginative. The guest of the president went on to say that no man deplores the present condition more than the president does, but he does not aee clearly how he could take any part In dis cussing the difference. It Is proposed that ha shall act because he Is president. Would Look Like a Threat. Any Interference on his part, except by request of both parties would be construed Into a threat to use the great power of hla office to coerce one side or the other. If that really were so the action would be Interference and not arbitration. If both aides should make the requt-st that the president shculd select an arbitration com mittee he would be glad to do ao, but he could not give hie personal time to Inves tigation of the subject to tho end of ar riving at a Just conclusion. It surb a request should be made with the agreement that the miners should be permitted to return to work pend'ng the decision and both to abide by the finding of the committee, the finding to be effective from the time the men went to work, the president would be glad to select such a committee. Vnlera both sides make the re quest voluntarily be alll not feel at lib erty to interference la the matter. TAMAQUA. Pa., Sept. 9.

RESEMBLES THE TWEED RING St. Lotui Official Icandal Takei on Greater Proportion, MORE INDICTMENTS ARE RETURNED t'lrealt Attorney Believes that the City Will Be Pnrlfled by the Preseit Flht Against Corraptlon. ST. LOUIS, Sept 9. When Judge Douglas adjourned court tonight seven of the nine teen members of the alleged boodle com bine of the house of delegatea were still at large and the police and deputy sheriffs are using their beet efforte to find them. Developments in the case began early and came with startling rapidity. The most important feature of the day'a developments was the finding of new In dictments against nineteen members of the combine. In addition to the charges of bribery and perjury In connection with the Suburban Street railroad deal, the membere of the alleged combine now rest under ad ditional Indictments, charging bribery. These were found by the grand Jury be fore which H. H. Murrell testified today as to the city lighting scandal of 1900, In which each member of the combine Is said to have received 12,600 in payment for his aervices in securing the passage of the bill. Bonds were fixed at 115,000 for every Indictment, making a total of $45,000 neces sary to be secured for the release of any one of the accused. Locked t'p In Jail. Early in the day former Delegates J. H. Schuettler, John Helmes, Otto Schumacher and Charles Gutje, and Delegate J. J. Hannlgan, who spent the night at their homes in the custody of deputy -sheriffs, were locked up In Jail, because of their failure to secure bonds. Charles Gutje was later released In bonds of $30,000 in the first two Indictments, but was soon re arrested on the bribery Indictment returned today and is still In custody, having failed to secure additional surety. Ex-Delegate Bench was taken Into custody some time during the forenoon, but was soon liber ated, Ed Butler, a wealthy local politi cian, signing his bond to the amount of $45,000. Butler also went surety in like sum for Delegate Charles J. Denny and for former Delegate T. E. Albright. He also wanted to secure Gutje's release by filing an additional bond of $15,000, but Judge Douglas refused to let him sign any more. The police and deputy sheriffs are etill looking for Delegates Charles Kelly, for mer Delegates Emil Hartmann, Louis Decker, Julius Lehmann and Harry A. Faulkner. The last-named was released on bond yesterday' and the authorities want him on the indictment found today. Faulkner has already been convicted on the charge of perjury In connection with the Suburban case and found guilty. He was out pend ing decision when Foulk'a present bomb shell burst. Ex-Speaker of the House of Delegates William M. Tamblyn, -who has been in Cleveland since Circuit Attorney Foulk began the case, will return to St. Louis, having been arrested there today. Now In Colorado. "Fortner Delegate Adolph Madera Is some where In Colorado, where the authorities are searching for him at the request of St. Louis officials. Ex-Speaker John K. Murrell, Delegate Ed E. Murrell and former Delegate George E. Robertson have turned state's evidence and are where Circuit At torney Foulk can find them when wanted. Circuit Attorney Foulk, when seen this evening, expressed satisfaction at the prog ress being made In the fight for pure gov ernment In St. Louis. He compared the present expose to that of the Tweed ring in the '70s, and said he believed that never before, with that exception, had 'corrup tion in public office held such sway as it had here during the last few years. He believed the authorities were In a fair way to weed out the element that looked on the public office as a place for per sonal enrichment. Mr. Foulk said that for many years past the municipal assemblies In St. Louis had been dominated by com bines that compelled the payment of large sums of money to the members by all who desired. the passage of bills giving valuable franchises. Hardly a measure went through without paying tribute. He called attention to the oath taken by members of the combine In a previous house of delegatea as Indicating the extent to which they go to gain their ends. Thus far, said Mr. Foulk, the fight haa been mainly against the bribetaker, but evidence Is being secured that will be used to bring to Justice the bribegiver. The connecting links between these two classes of lawbreakers are being put to gether, with the result that It was hoped to soon have in custody some of those in volved with the payment of large bribes. Terms of the Oath. It developed today that an oath was ad ministered to each of the nineteen members of the co'mblne whose identity were dis closed by the confession of J. K. Murrell yesterday. A copy of the oath has been given to Circuit Attorney Folk and the grand Jury. It la as follows: I do solemnly swear before the Almighty Ood that in associating myself and in be coming a member of this combine I will vote and act with the combine whenever and wherever 1 may be ordered to do so. And I furtherly solemnly swear that I will not, at any place or time, reveal the fact that there Is a combine, and that I will not communicate to any person or per sons anything that may take place at any meeting of the combine. And 1 further solemnly swear that I should reveal the fact 'that any person in this combine has recelveu money, I hereby permit and authorize other members of this combine to take the forfeit of my life In Buch manner as they deem proper, and that my throat may be cut, my tonnue torn out and my body cast Into the Mtstnsxtppt river. And all this I do solemnly swear, so help me God. PLANS FOR M'KINLEY MEMORIAL Responses Come In from the Conntry Advocating- the Special Services. CINCINNATI. Sept. 9.

JUDGE N0RRIS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER Eulosrlses the Veterans and Expresses Ills Views on the Tension Ques tion Campflre In the Evening;. HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 9. (Special Tele gram.) The sun shone brightly today and weather conditions could not have been Improved for the second day of the re union. The crowd was somewhat slow about getting out to the grounds this morning, but when the camp waa officially accepted by Com mander Steele, he and Mart Howe gave the local committee a fine compliment on tbe work done and said It was aa neat and well arranged a camp as they had ever had the pleasure to preside over or attend. Bond's military band rendered an ex cellent concert on the ground at 10:30 and Jeffries Twins also entertained the visitors. Judge Norrls, the republican candidate for congressman in the Fifth district, was the speaker of the day and he epoke for an hour and thirty minutes before an aud ence of nearly 2,000 people. Commander Steele Introduced Judge Norris, who said he never spoke at a gathering of old settlers but with a feeling of sadness for It brought back the scene back in the Buckeye hills, where an old mother had sat reading the message from the battlefield with tears streaming down her cheeks, thus mourning he death of his only brother. He spoke of slavery as the wedge that had severed the north from the south and had caused these two great armies to come together on the battlefield, with all the horrors of war, and now they reach forth their hands and called each other brother, Just as they should do. He gave a graphic discretion of how the shackles of slavery were stricken from 4,000,000 of people by Abraham Lin coln. Live In Grandest Conntry. He said we are living in the greatest age In history, and we are also living in the greatest and grandest country in the world. He hoped the time was not far distant when American girls would not go to foreign countries to hunt for hus bands who have more titles than sense. He praised women for the work of nursing back the sick and caring fpr the dying. The soldier who had died on the battle field had died In peace, but the widow left at home sits by the fireside with a broken heart and sees the vacant chair, but In the great hereafter these women will appear far above the greatest warriors. Judge Norrls then eulogized the old sol diers who had ottered their lives' blood for their country, and said that the world owed them a debt that never could be paid. He took up the pension question and said there were many who were wirthy, but were not getting their Just dueij, and that It was his opinion there shouMj only be two questions to be answered by in old soldier's widow to get a pension. One waa that her husband was an old ildler and the other was that he waa dead. Mr. Norrls closed his address by paying it high tribute to the members of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was loudly cheered.

CHICAGO, Sept. 9. (Special Telegram.) The Denver gateway of the Vnlon Pa cific, which has remained closed since 1896, has been thrown open to the Roc!; Island road, both for freight and passen ger traffic and to the Burlington for freight traffic. This radical change In the policy of the Vnlon Pacific caused great surprise today when It became generally known and led to much speculation as to the cause. An official of the Harrlman lines stated that there waa nothing to be said regard ing the matter, except that the Denver gateway was now wide open and that It remained for the Rock Island officials to say how extensively It would be used tor Pacific coast business. The new agree ment regarding traffic was entered Into early in August, but haa been kept a fairly close secret until today. The traffic relations between the Vnlon Pacific, Southern Pacific, Oregon Short 'Line and Oregon Railroad & Navigation company on the one hand and the Vnlon Pacific on the other, will be of the closest character, and will operate to the great advantage of both Interests. The success of the Moores in obtaining the concession from the Harrlman interests is said to have led to the same privilege being ex tended to the Burlington. The greatest advantage to the Rock Is land will come in traffic destined for north Pacific coast points, which hitherto has been turned over to 'the Vnion Pacific at the river, the latter company refusing to accept It at Denver. Vndcr the new arrangement the Rock Island will enjoy the long haul on all of this business, thereby securing an added advantage of over 500 miles. An official of the Harrlman lines stated that the management had decided that con ditions had changed since the closing of the Denver gateway and that there was no good reason why the roads east of the river should not have the long haul on traffic or iginating In their territory.
