WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. The president today took Initiative atepa to ascertain what, if anything, could b dona by federal authority to settle tfaa coal strike. Tha result waa rather general expression of eplnloa by tha advlsore of the preildent who were psrtles to today'a conference to '; the effect that the federal lawa and con ( gtitutlon da not offer mesne of federal p, Interference to end the atrlke, but another conference will be held tomorrow and the 1 preeldent will do all he properly and le ' gaily can to bring about a settlement. At the temporary White House a confer ence waa held wtth three cabinet officers, Attorney' General Knox, Secretary Moody ' and Postmaster General Payne. Governor Crane of Massachusetts also waa present. These gentlemen met. with President ' Roosevelt first, and after the subject had ; been considered for some time they ad ' Journed to another room and conferred to gether for an hour. They all returned ; later In tho day and held another confer ence with the president and tha atrlke situation was discussed further. Roosevelt Mark Concerned. ' President Roosevelt la deeply concerned ever the situation. Tho approach of win ter with a eoal famine Imminent, and the dlstreaa and suffering that must ensue un less coal becomes available, presents a 'situation which, ha thinks, should receive tho attention of tha administration if there la anything that can be done by the gov ernment. Many appeals have beeen made to him and many sujgestlons have been ; received by him, and. it was with a view to ascertaining what power tha federal au thority could evoke that caused the con- 'terrace to ba held. - During tha conference ovary phaae of the. situation waa dtaouased. The general opin ion of the advlaora of tha president was I that the situation did not present a caao I In which ' there could ba federal lnterfer 'ence by any warrant of law., Thero haa i bean no Interference with federal author ity In the. mining region, either by atop ipage o' tba malls or resistance of tha 'United Statea court process. It was point ed out that'thTe was no 6ocas1on for the Viies ot federal troopa, as Governor Stone at Pennsylvania had not called on tha gov ernment for assistance nor had he even exhausted the resources of the state by calling out tho full strength of tha atata . militia. Several Plans Considered. Tha questions of tha right1 to seek ap pointment of a receiver for the mines in order that they might be operated waa dis cussed, but neither In tba constitution nor In any known law could any legal warrant . bo found for such action. The tenor of the whole discussion was to ths effect that there waa a lack of power In the federal administration to take action at present, though the seriousness ot tho coal famine 1 bow and the much greater evils to follow were considered at length and with a wish to discover aoma method ot end'ng tha In dustrial deadlock. Governor Crana'a . presence naturally brought Into prominence the proceedings begun in tha Massachusetts courts to se cure the appointment of receivers for the coal properties, "but the opinion waa ex pressed that tba situation could not ba met successfully by thla method. ' During the day advlcea were received that the atrlke might be settled by the op erators and minora themselves, and it waa auggestcd that tasty Interference of any kind by the federal government might pre vent tha consummation ofl the plana tor a Strike aettlemsnt It any auch are maturing. Realising the futility of efforts to end the atrlke. It was stated that the president was anxious that the end of the strike should be brought about at the earliest possible moment, and If the attorney general or other member ot tba cabinet could devise . a method by wblch the president could pro " caed, ha would not hesitate to adopt It un less meanwhile assurance of a aettlement Were forthcoming. Root Returns Report. The conference will be resumed tomor row, at which time Secretary Root will be present. It Is understood that the visit ot Secretary Root to New York was tor the purpose of consulting prominent business men on the subject. The secretary left for New York Monday after a short conference at tha White House. It haa been Intimated that the president may send for the man agers of the coal properties, but this will not ba done until after the conference to morrow, and perhaps not then. Some confidence is expressed in the re port which Secretary Root may bring from New York, although It could not be learned what communication, if any. had been re ceived hers from the secretary while In ' New York. Ko reached Washington about 10 p. ta.. but denied himself to all news paper men. No official report ot today's conference waa given out, but It (a thought that a statement will follow the confer ence tomorrow. As beretofors stated, tb main fact remained apparent that the presi dent will make every effort that ha caa exert, properly aud lawfully, ta atop tha Strike and avert a fuel famine.

A crowd of people drawn there by curi osity haa remained lp" front of Zola'a house since morning, "Ms tragic death continues to be the "c of conver sation here. The funeral, ''4,, " fixed for Friday, and Interest Is shOy rf . n ques tion whether Dreyfus will atv '-'- The Patrle says: X ' s If he rln res to show himself In cession the looks and contempt of at ppeotators will be centered on hlm.v he hide himself in this decisive hour 1. will show himself to be his own Judge of the work of his benefactor. The post-mortem examination of Zola'a remains this morning resulted In tha addi tion to the official report that his death waa due to asphyxiation caused by car bonic oxide fumes, in showing that the novelist fell into a densely saturated at mosphere aa he attempted to open a win dow and was suffocated. Mme. Zola, It waa further declared, owed her life to the elevated position of the bed. A medical bulletin thla morning says: Mme. Zola Is progrntiHlng ss satisfactorily as expected, cuiinMerlntc 111 shock from the news of her husband s denth. Cnm- Slete rest and Isolation are indispensable, he had a heartrending At of anguish when told of his death, which was only communi cated to her this morning. It was followed by a state or torpor. . She Is now calm, but Is unable to utter a word or make a gesture. The body of Zola will be Interred tn Montmarte cemetery. The funeral will be a civil ceremony, though probably the body will be accorded the military honors to which the deceased la entitled aa an officer of the Legion of Honor. The League of the Rights of Man is organizing an impos ing demonstration for the funeral, and haa Issued an appeal for subscriptions to erect a monument to the dead novelist. Among those who algned the register at Zola'a house or sent condolences were Pre mier Combes, a majority of the cabinet ministers, M. Waldeck-Rousseau, Maltre Labor, Colonel Plcquart and M. Millerand. Jules Claretie haa written for the Temps an eulogistic appreciation of Zola'a literary labors in which he says the name of the dead novelist "will resound in the history of French letters; his name and werk will live for centuries," and concludes with re calling how the votea for Zola at tha elec tions for members of the academy dwindled until the last time there waa only one re corded, "and," M. Claretie aaya, "that vote waa mine." ASKS FOR PAYMENT !N GOLD Attorney Before the Hasrae Tribunal Says 1t Is Only Money Repre senting Real Vnlae. THE HAGUE, Sept. 80.

SARATOGA, N. T., Sept. 80. At 8:30 to night it was announced the following can didates had been agreed upon: ''or Governor Bird S. Coler of Kings. rbr Lieutenant Governor Charles 8. Bul r of Oswego. For Attorney General John Cunneen of Erie. For Comptroller C. M. Preston of Ulster. For Secretary of State Frsnk H. Mott of Chautauqua. For Engineer Richard W. Herman of pnelda. For Treasurer D. J. Vauken of Ontario. For Judge. Court of Appeals John C. Grsy ot New York. This Is the ticket promulgated tonight from the headquarters of Senator Hill. It was ths result of a conference ot many of the atate leaders. In which Senator Hill and Hugh McLaughlin took a leading part. The announcement of this tentative ticket was received quietly by the throngs. In the ho tel corridors, and later rumors were circu lated that when it came before the conven tion it might not stand. The Kings county delegates, led by Sen ator McCarren, were talking of prospective changes. Despite of this the Hill people went on making arrangements for the nom ination of the ticket. In all of thla prelim inary work Tammany took no part, and. in fact, after the first conference Kings county absented itself. What Hill flays. Senator Hill did not deny that the alate given out by those In his room was abso lutely the one which the convention would nominate. One of the rumors was that Kings county was preparing to bolt and that several of the delegates would refuse to abide by the Coler system, or vote in the unit system. Senator McCarren, in answering this, said: "It la useless to try to disguise the fact that several member of our delegations are not heartily In favor of Mr. Coler. We still believe that Judge Parker would accept the nomination it confronted with, the fact that the conven tion wanted him by acclamation. Still, I don't think we will break the unit rule." Important news of the night from semi official ojrc, but lscVing snthorlsatlon, was that the committee on platform bad decided to declare for a 1,000-ton barge canal, and that the committee on creden tials, to avoid further trouble, would seat the delegation headed by William 8. Dev ery. A committee on resolutions was appointed this morning, consisting of fifty members, each representing a senatorial district. Chairman George Raines and the committee met in the afternoon. Two proposed planks of the platform caused somewhat of a flurry. In ths committee, the liberal democ racy, with a committee of five heade,d by Robert "Baker "R spokesman idekjanflettr that the democratic state convention stand for a reaffirmation of the Kansas City plat form as a whole." The Chicago-Kansas City platform party ot New York state, through Calvin J. Keach, demanded the Incorporation of this: The democratic party of the Empire state recognizes the national platform of 1900 as the organlo law of the party untlt it can be changed by another national convention and regrets that it waa not ratified by the people at the polls." Baker' Bnaaieatlon. Mr. Baker offered these suggestions for the platform: "That every article produced by a trust or combination be at once de prived of all tariff protection; election by the people of the federal Judges and United States senators, pending which the state convention should nominate candidates for the United States senate; governmental ac quirement and operation of railroads and coal mines; entire home rule over local affairs to municipalities, Including local option; that municipalities be empowered to acquire, construct and operate all pub lic service utilities, pending which all new modified and extended franchises are only to become operative when ratified by pop ular vote, the initiative and referendum; constitutional amendment wo secure the pre vailing fate of wages on all public worka, exclusion from municipal debt limit of all obligations Issued for revenue producing properties; adequate provision to widen and deepen the state canals; complete safe guards for freedom of speech and against government by Injunction, bp enaction of an antl-lnjunctlon law; forfeiture of office by public officials accepting free passes and finally an explicit pledge that If elected its candidates will strike to uproot sll forma of special privilege. In presenting these suggestions Mr. Baker said: "Do not think for a moment that any vacillating policy on these questions . will gain for you our vote. Don't dream for moment that you are helping your cause with us by shouting harmony and putting on your platform men who ones repudiated real democracy. Do you want to throw out friends and disrupt the party? So sura as you do, defeat awaits you." Senator Grady Well, Mr. Baker, moat of tha things you suggest are of national ira portance and It will not be policy to cumber our platform with them. So far as your anxiety for labor Is 'concerned, let ma tell you that the democratic vote In the legis lature haa been uniformly In favor ot the laboring man. Asa Bird Files Ip as Dove of Peace, Mr. Baker I am not speaking for Just the labor vote. I am speaking for a great in dignant public, who demand relief and who will defeat your party It ' Asa Bird Gardiner rose at this point and asked (hat the debate be limited. Chairman Gainer agreed and Mr. Baker waa forced to stop. When Calvin J. Keach appeared with his endorsement plank he called upon tha party to take aa honorable open stand for Its last national platform. ' , ' . Senator Grady (interrupting) It is not the thing for a party ia the state to take up national questions or go Into the en dorse ment ot national platforms in aa "off year. This party baa never endorsed a national platform to my knowledge but once and that waa tn 1888. Mr. Keach That la not any reason. You don't want to be branded cowards, do you? And It you Ignore the last platform you will be so branded. The republican party has had the manliness to endorse their tariff. Do you want to be less faithful to your issues? At this point Mr. Keach was cut off. A delegation from the Brooklyn Democratic club presented some planks which they da sired Incorporated in the platform, at teaat (Continued ea Becood Pegs.)

COAL STOCKS CIVE WHOLE LIST A LIFT Rumor of Strike Settlement KlectrlBe Exehance About the Tlme'thet Shaw Gives Money Market a Helping Hand. NEW YORK, 8ept. 80. The stock market, which closed yesterday utterly demoralized aa a result ot stringent monetary condi tions and other unfavorable consequences, made a sensational recovery today. The chief cause for the complete reversal was the action of Secretary Shaw In removing the restraint on bank reserves, and per sistent reports from varloua quartera thst the coal strike had at last resched tbe point where negotiations for settlement were under way. For this last rumor there appeared little or no foundation, ac cording to tbe Individual and collective atatements of the lesdlng operators made after tbe regular weekly meeting. Another Influence for better prices was the decline in call money rates, though during tbe morning loans were made as high as 19 per cent. A large part of the day'a loana was made at around 10 per cent, and the rate at the close went down to 2, but this was really nominal, no money being placed at that figure. Opening prlcea were better all the way from a fraction to five points. Wide op erations in which blocks ot 2,000, 3,000 and 6,000 shares changed bands were numerous. The greatest galna were in the standard railway shares, notably St. Paul. Louisville Nashville, which bore the brunt of the previous day's pounding, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, the coalera and a number of specialties. Strennoa Hour on the Floor. On the floor of the stock exchange tha greatest excitement and activity prevailed urlng the first hours. Brokers on the short time were covering with all possible speed, and the bull faction waa In absolute control, The list manifested a vacillat ing- tendency soon after the first bulge. nd many ot the active stocks whose Initial gains had been largest receded from one to three points The opening rate for call money waa 12 per cent, but thla soon advanced to 18, cre ating general confusion among those com mitted to higher prices. The most sensa tional operations developed In the after noon on newa from Washington that the president and hla cabinet had taken steps to terminate the coal strike. Iii suit of the absence of any confirmation, the mar ket seized upon this announcement and, with the coal stocks In the lead, the entire list shot upward. The market developed a buoyant tone In the last hour, though operations were confined largely to the coalera, which were heavily traded In and at practically the best prlcea of the day. The day'a operations were in excesa of $1,200,000 aharea. Secretary Shaw's visit to the street and his talks with the leading banking Interests helped In no email way to restore con fidence. Local banka loaned moderately. . Shaw Feel Pleased. Secretary Shaw was an early visitor at the aubtreasury today. Mr. Shaw came to the financial department for the purposo of discussing the financial situation with the bankers. His calls included Georae Banckers and Vice President Vanderllp of the National City bank. The aecretary ex pects to remain down town tbe greater part of the day. He expressed himself aa being much gratified at the Improvement shown by the monetary outlook. In an Interview, the secretary aald that all savings bank securities sccepted by tbe treasury department in place of government bonds would be of the highest class panic proof and as good in London as in New York. The secretary said he' had been assured that fully $40,000,000 cash will be released today as a result ot his action. Among the secretary's other callers were W. Naah, president of the Corn Exchange bank, and chairmen of ths clearing bouse committee; Joseph Hendrix, president of the National Bank of Commerce; W. H. Perkins, presi dent of the Bank of America, and Jamea I. Blair. The representatives of two leading bond houses conferred with the secretary, who will leave for Washington tonight. Aetlon of Shaw Commended. Chairman Elbert H. Gary of the United States Steel corporation, and James Still man of the National City bank, called in the early afternoon. "I simply called to congratulate the secretary," said Mr. Gary. "In my opinion he has shown good Judgment and I firmly iwiieve nis pian win go a great waye to ward easing the situation." Mr. Stillman remained with Secretary bnaw lor aome time. Upon taking leave he said: "I think tha aecretary'a act Is very commendable. Mr. Stillman declined to say whether he thought the financial situation would ahow more than temporary Improvement. Comptroller of the Currency RIdgley met the aecretary at the aub-treesury. Mr. RIdgley said he came to town "Just to look around." H. W. Cannon, president of the Chase National bank, and United States Senator John Keen of New Jersey, spent a brief lime with the aecretary. who Is reported to have requested the bankers to Increase their circulation without delay. Several ot them. It la understood, promised that they would do ao. President O. G. Williams of the Chem ical National bank, and President Del a lie Id of the National Park bank, paid their re spects to the secretary. Wild Bceaes la Wall Street. There were wild scenes for an hour en the stock exchange thla morning owing to the violent rebound In prlcea from yes terday's panicky closing. Opening gains over last night's prices were from a frac tion to i and B points. First sales were of 1,000 to 8.000 shsres, simultaneous prices varying as much aa 4 points in the esse of Missouri Pacific, which made the maximum gain of 64 points. Eventually buying by distressed shorts played an important point tn tbe buoyant upward rush, aa .there waa prompt relapse. Buyers In yesterday s slump hastened to take profits at ths ex pense of the market. Prices ran off from 1 to 1 for Important stocks. Louisville lost all' of Its rise and Missouri Paclflo relapsed 8Vs. . Fluctuations were wild and trading very excited. Lot.aa on call at 10 to 18 per cent helped to unsettle tbe trading again, but the market steadied and became quiet by 11 o'clock, with prices at about ths lowest Ths subsequent decline was much more or derly. The principal cause of the rebound thla morning waa tbe announcement of Sec retary of the Treaaury Sbaw'a Intention to (Cootinvied ea Bevsnth Page.)

STAGE ROBBERY IN NEW YORK Three Masked Men Surressfnlly Par eae Western Methods la tha Kaat. MIDDLETOWN, N. Y., Sept. 80. The stage coach "Pioneer," which makes dally trips between Warwick and Goshen, waa held up and robbed by three masked horse men late this afternoon. The coach waa bowling along the road wo miles from Florlds, and at a lonely apot Clinton and Horatio S. Wisner, wbo own the coach, and were on it, saw the men oa horses suddenly emerge from the dense woods which line the highway. Clin ton was driving.

Plu- vlus at last oas been conquered (at least the weather man says ao), and condlttona are propitious for a grand crisis today In the annual festivities thus far marred by rail and clouds. Yesterday when Old Sol peeped h's laughing red fsoe above the eastern horiion a thrill ot delight ahol through the heart of every faithful aubject of the great king every one who waa not asleep at that hour and throughout the day brightness dwelt not only In the skies but In the hearts of the people. It looked. Indeed, aa If the weather would bs entirely favorable for the grand daylight parade today one of tho three essential featurea ot tbe week. - Best of All Sneh Parades. Every effort baa been expended to make today's parade tbe greatest ot all similar daylight exhibitions. It la Indeed question able if a single endeavor win prove to have been exerted in vain. If ao, then who will care If It did rain and storm on other days? Thursday and Thursday night will follow ao closely upon tha beela of today that it'a two to one the grand electrical pageant, the crucial function of tha week, will be pulled oft without a hitch. And be thla true the carnival will have atarted Into history ss a most successful one, for what could mar the brilliance ot tbe great ball Friday night under the broad canopy of the klng'a very palace T Thla parade today will surpaaa In grand eur and scope any daylight exhibition heretofore given under' tho auspices of the Knights of Ak-8sr-Ben. The first division will ba composed of tho military companies of Omaha, South Omaha and Council Bluffs, and the othere will be made up of the fraternal societies, all' of which will make unique displays and many of which will have expensive floats in line. There will be eight or ten banda, enough to keep music in the air every moment that the parade la. moving. The line of march will bo on South Sixteenth from Nicholas to Leavenworth, counter march on Sixteenth to Douglas, on Douglas to Tenth, on Tenth to Farnam, on Farnam to Nineteenth, on Nineteenth to Harney, on Harney to Fifteenth, on Fifteenth to Capitol avenue. Vehicles Must Keep Off. While the parades aro moving thla aft ernoon and Thursday evening no vehlclea will be permitted to travel on the lino of march or to atand on the atreeta while tho paradea are passing. Tbla was decided upon by Chief of Polloe Donahue yesterday, bis object being to give the entire apaoa In tbe streets not occupied by tho paradea to the people. "At every parade," aald the chief, "thero are aome who drive their vehlcleo beside the curbstone and atand while tha parade ia paaslag. This obstructs tho view- of many and greatly hinder the police In keeping the crowda out ot tha way. Be side, it la dangeroua and people aro likely to be Injured by runaway horses. Should a horse become frightened at a passing float and go to kicking or running eomeono would be sure to be hurt. This I shall pre vent by keeping the atreeta along the Una of march entirely free of vehlclea and horses." Banda Rosea Conserve.
