Thompson, Beldeh aXo. t. m. o. a. nun!, ccm. irra add avoratAs rr tended yesterday's conference left Washing ton at 10:50 today over the Baltimore Ohio railroad for their headquarters at Wllkesbarre. Before boarding the train Mr. Mitchell said that probably soon after his arrival In Wllkesbarre he would issue di rections to the miners as to how to proceed, but that he could not say positively what be would do. Asked what directions. If any, he would Issue, he replied that any direc tions Issued would only be for the con tinuance of the strike. "Do you feel," he was asked, "that pub lic aentlment will sustain you In continu ing the strike?" "It certainly must do so, after the result fit yesterday'a conference," be replied. "We are confident that we have the aympathy of every worklngman in the country and we believe that we will have the financial sup port of most of them." "Is the outside contribution sufficient to telleve present distress?" "I can't atate the exact amount, but ao far wa have been able to relieve all cases of absolute want, and we expect the con tributions to Increase In volume. We feel quite confident of being able 'to continue the strike through the winter, but we shall regret very much to have to do so, not only on tur own account, but on account of the public. Indeed, If only the Interests of the miners and the operatora were con cerned the Btrlke would be of compara tively little general Importance." Mitchell Denies Chnrges. Mr. Mitchell referred to the charge of lawlessness made by the coal operators In tbe conference yesterday, saying: Several of them made the statement that there had been twenty murdera by the Htrlkera since the beginning of the strike. We challenged the statement on the spot and I volunteered to tender my resignation then and there If It could be proven that there had been twenty deaths all told from violence since the Inception of the strike. The proposition was not accepted. The truth la that there have been just seven deaths and three of them were caused by the coal and Iron police employed by the mine operatora. The trouble is that these men never go to the mines and they accept without question the representa tions made to them. The Mitchell party exepcts to reach Wllkesbarre at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. ' It Is believed here that a resort to pro- ceedlnga against tbe coal-carrying roads on 1 tbe charge of Imposing unlawful carrying rates, wnue possible, is improbable, on ac count of lta impracticability to accomplish speedy results in the present emergency. In case proceedlnga should be Instituted, either at the initiative of the administration or at the Instance of the miners, the roads could protract the litigation for two or three years In carrying the case finally to the United States supreme court. Mitchell Won't Dlaenss It. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 4. President John Mitchell of the Miners' union, ac companied by District President T. D. Nicholls of Scranton. arrived at strike headquarters from Washington tonight. There was a large number of persona at headquarters waiting to see tbe miners' chief. President Mitchell had nothing to say regarding the situation beyond what be aald In his formal statement to the presi dent and In bis Interviews at Washington. He reiterated, however, that the strike will go on just aa It baa heretofore and that be felt Just as confident of carrying It to a satisfactory conclusion as he did previous to attending tbe meeting of the presidents. He does not at this time contemplate any new move and If any la to be taken he will first consult with tbe district presi dents. President Mitchell waa shown the As sociated Press dispatch from Washington to tbe effect that lthas been suggested thst the miners return to work and let congress and the Pennsylvania legislature TRUE ARMOR.

The! presidents of the anthracite coal railroads arrived here from Washington on a special train today. E. B. Thomas, chairman of tbe board of the Erie Railroad company, who repre sented that company at the conference with President Roosevelt in Washington yester day, aald: . There is nothing to add to my statement yesterday In reaped to the proposition made by us that in case we cannot satis factorily adjust any grievances with our own employes, it shall be referred to the Judges of the court of common pleas of the district In which the colliery is situated for final determination. This certainly provides a tribunal which affords the min ers every possible protection, but we can not be expected to turn the conduct of property which Involves the Interests of such a large number of people over to the control of an Irresponsible and Illegal as sociation and plsce the lives nnd property of our loyal emloyes at their mercy. Our offer aflords every opportunity for fair and liberal treatment, with appeal to an Im partial tribunal, free from the Influences of the bituminous coal combination. Our forces of men are Increasing, and we pro duced yesterday over 4.0U0 tons of coal. President Truesdale of the Lackawanna road, had nothing to add to the statement submitted by him to the preildent at Wash ington yesterday. - He believed, he said, that it was nor' . the Intention of the authorities to call out the federal .troops. - Fowler Replies to Mitchell. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 4. President Baer of the Philadelphia & Reading Railway company, returned from Washington to bis oftlce this morning. In response to an In quiry be stated that he had nothing to say for publication beyond tbe statement pub lished this morning. , President Fowler of the New York, Ootfrlo A Western road said: It is not unlikely that the public may Jump at the conclusion that Mr. Mitchell offered to resume operations immediately, in order that the suffering public might be relieved at once. I think It worth while to call attention to the fart that Mltxhoii offered at yesterday's conference to make an agreement "for not less than one year or more than. five yeara, as msy be mutu ally determined." Now. the point I wish to make clear right here Is this: Mitchell cannot order an Immediate resumption of work because the bylaws of the United Mine Workers declare that such a proposition must tirat be submitted to Its delegates. That can not be done In less than two weeks' time. That much notice, I am told. Is called for In the bylaws. The public will observe that there is a grest difference between res'imlng work Immediately and resuming work at the end of two weeks. In a word, Mitchell's proposition has a string to It. Moreover, how do the operators know that Mitchell can control his men? Didn't they go back on him at Hatelton two years ago when he expected them not to atrlke? The trouble la that there are two sides to this fight the responsible side and the Irresponsible one. The operators stand for something; the miners are In a position to draw out of any agreement their leaders make. It is prsctlcally impossible to make a binding agreement with Mitchell. English Comment Mostly aelflah. LONDON, Oct. 4. The coal situation in the United Statea and President Roosevelt's Intervention have aroused widespread in terest here, though many of the comments are purely selfish. Commenting on the pros- , pec uvs scarcity oi coal in tne united Statea for some time to come the Globe this aft ernoon suggests that tbe consequent demand for English supplies la liable to lead to such a coal famine here aa to necessitate govern ment action to prevent the export and de pletion of local stocks. Tbe 8t. James Gaxette, in expressing sim ilar feaia of tbe local enhancement of prices. says It thinks nothing eould be more ef fective than tireless homes during the com ing winter for gaining popular support of the president's proposals tor ktate control of the trusts. Additional large orders from the United States for steam coal were reported today on the New Castle exchange. Exporters are negotiating for a number of large steamers to transport coal to America. Vest supports the President. BALTIMORE. Oct. 4. Senator Ocorge O. Vest of Missouri, who Is in this city for the treatment of bta eyes, in an Interview today referred to the coal situation as fol lows: I aee no solution of the situation now, since Mr. Baer and hla friends have taken the arrogant stand they have. 1 am afraid we are going to have some of the most serious trouble the country has ever known If the thing Is not settled soon. When men see their children freest tat and no food In sight there Is no telling what may hap pen. As to the talk of an extra session of con- Sress. I see no prospect of relief In that Irectlon, but I think the members of both iNirtles In the house and enate should stand by the president in asry reasonable solution of the situation he may offer. For Relief of the Poor. NEW YORK, Oct. 4 At the offices of J. Plerpont Morgsn st Co. this statement was given out today by Mr. Steele of tbe firm: It was learned today that the Interna tional Mercantile company has arranged to purchase In Knglsnd io.vOO tons of the beet domestic, fuel coal for Immediate transpor tation to this country. Hhluments of the coal will begin at once and be hurried for ward as rapidly as possible, even at the sacrifice of the company's ordinary busi ness, if that should be found necessary. This coal, as well as mora. If required, will be used to relieve any suffering of the poor or m me institutions. Rebellions Trlhea lakstll, NEW TOrX.

Pa., Oct. 4 It Is ssld thst the cost operators of the Wyoming region will make a more determined effort than ever next week to start additions! collieries. They claim that they can get the men If the military authorities will protect them and their families. Vice President Rescavage of district No. 1, United Mine Workers, saya tbe coal com panies are sending Into the region larg numbers of Poles, Slavs and Italians. Son. of them, he eays, are fresh arrivals frjrti Europe. Mr. Reecavage produced today affl. davits from foreign laborers, who raid they were brought here by an agent for a labor bureau In New York. Tbey were told that they were wanted to ork In a factory, but wben they srrived here they were sent to the mines. , . The houses of several nonunion men In Plains were bombarded with stones to night. Two families, thinking It would not be ssfe to remain In their homes during the night, vacated and went to a neighbor ing town to stay with relatives. Last night a crowd made a house to house visit to the homes of the nonunion worker In the same town. Among the houses bom barded were those of William Grlmer, Fletcher Walker, William Russell and John Gordon. Some of tbe householders fired on tha crowds in the roadway and In some cases tbe fire wss returned, but no one was wounded. Colonel Dougherty of the Ninth regiment says that outside of the reported disturbances at Plains, all Is quiet In tb region tonight. GLENS FALLS, N. Y., Oct. 4. A mob of nearly 6,000 sympathizers of the Hudson Valley railway strikers paraded the streets here tonight, stopping cars aa they came through, breaking windows and cutting trol ley ropes. So great did tbe disturbances become that Sheriff Gill ordered out Com. pany K of the National guard stationed here to disperse the mob. When the rioters began their work the majority of tbe non union employes of the company gave them aelves Into the bands of the police for protection, but some deserted to the strik ers. Four cars were stalled on the switch and all tbe window in them were broken. The trouble waa precipitated by the calling of a mass meeting by the Federation of Labor. This brought out in enormous crowd. No attempt is being made to run tbe cars and, it being evident the police were unable to cope with the situation, tbe sheriff was appealed to and he asked aid from the nillltla. It was thought several of tbe strikers would go back Monday, but this demonstration may make a change. One of the nonunion employes, named Currier of Brooklyn, left hla car as the stones were coming too thick for him. The mob seized him and he is In a critical condition. PRESIDENT WILCOX'S VIEW President of Delaware A. Hudson River Line Defends Conrse of Conl Operators. NEW YORK. Oct. 4. David Wilcox, pres ident of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad company, denied tbat the operatora had ever said tbee was nothing to arbitrate. "The coal operators," said Mr.' Wilcox, "made It entirely plain tbat they were usv Ing every effort to produce coal; that if full protection were furnished by the lawful authorities the production would Increase very rapidly, and that tbe obstruction of such production was due to the methods set on foot by the United Mine Workers. The papers have said there waa nothing to ar bitrate, which Is without foundation. "In tbe conference yesterday tbe opera tora made a suggestion looking to arbi tration of future difficulties which would be entirely Just and practicable. This waa that if the men would return to work, in case there should be any grievances at any colliery, and the employer and employes should be unable to agree in reference to them the difficulty should be aettted by tbe court of common pleas of the district in which the colliery Is located. The opera -torav offered to embody this provision In coctracturat form If desired. It was. In fact, an offer by the operators to submit to compulsory arbitration. "Tbla offer of compulsory arbitration was Immediately and flatly declined by Presi dent Mitchell on behalf of the mine work era, although this would secure everything asked except recognition of the union, which Mr. Mitchell has repeatedly said be did not insist upon." "It waa suggested tbat if tbe courae were adopted that was pursued in tbe Debs case and waa ao effective in quelling tbe Chi cago riots, the present strike could ' be ended next week." Mr. Wilcox explained tbat tbat course would be for the United Statea to file a bill In equity against tbo miners' union, which be called an Illegal combination, and obtain a preliminary Injunction, which would be granted at once, because the cir cuit court hss already passed on tbe ques tion of legality. 'In case that Injunction should be disre garded and the process of tbe court defied," be said, "the federal troopa could be used. If necessary, to enforce obedleuce thereto. The president and the attorney general were atrongly urged to follow the prece dent in tbla case, which waa set by their predecessors. President Cleveland 'and At torney General Olney, the lawfulnesa of whoae action waa fully sustained by all tbe courts." John Markle, the Independent operator who was present at yesterday'a conference with President Roosevelt, spent some time In conference with J. P. Morgsn today. Mr. Markle said: "I am satisfied that President Roosevelt did not know the situation of affairs in the anthracite coal fields wben be invited us to the conference that took place yesterday. I believe he will now take the necessary steps to fully acquaint him self with the situation. I am absolutely convinced from opinions of eminent law years that the statement made by Mr. Wil cox of tbe right of the president to act In tbe matter la sound. I have no hesitancy in saying that when the president realises be bas power to act, be will take action to rtaisre law and order in the anthracite re gion."

There are. thousands of cists Just like that of Mr. Srhuharth and Mra. AUIngton, when- the pat.enta thought thoy lia.i in curable -consumption until their doctors prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is absolutely pure, snd possesses more curative power than all other medicines. It contains no fusel oil, so common In other whiskeys, and which Is a dangerous ingredient In whiskey, especially for the dlmased system, when the poison taken effect. Duffy's ' Pure Malt Whiskey not only drives out consumption germs and heals the lungs, but it builds up new tissue and ren ovatea the entire system. It aids digestion, stlmulutes and enriches the blood, tones up th heart, invigorates and builds up the bodv so that It will throw off all disease. At the medical convention in Albany one of leading doctors said he would rather have Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey to cure con sumption, catarrh, asthma and Olsenses of the throat and lungs than all the quack medicines In the a-crld. and the doctors E resent agreed with him unsnlmously. lurTv's Pure Malt Whiskey Is good for old and Voung. It has carried the blessings of health to hundreds of thousands of poor sufTerers. Many have tried to Imitate It. snd unreliable dealers have been known to try to sell their customers seme rhesp stb stltute because there was more profit In the aubstltute. So we caution mir patients to be careful and see that "Duff's Pure Malt Y'hlHkey" hi on the label, and that Tha irvnnlne nt all drucalsts or grocers or direct, $1.00 a bottle.

Charles Barry, a law'yer formerly of Chl rago, and whose office Is given as the bead quarters of a company claiming to control a large acreage of coal lands In Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky, has written to President Roosevelt offering the control of these lands under any con ditions the president may suggest. Mr. Barry claims to be acting In the Interests of the public. He says, however, tbat It will be necessary to furnish the means for tbe development of these coal fields which hitherto have not been worked to any appreciable extent. The letter was forwarded to the president today. MASON IS FOR A' RECEIVER Illinois Senator Hns Petition In Cir culation Arpnnd Chtraao Ad dressed to President. CHICAGO, Oct. Six thousand Illinois citizens during the v last twenty-four hours have signed a petition asking President Roosevelt to call an extra sessslon of con gress to enact some measure for the pre vention of a coal famine. One method sug gested In tbe petition is provision ior tbe appointment of a temporary receiver to operate the Pennsylvania mines which are closed on account, of tbe strike. The pe tition is being circulated alt over the city of Chicago and throughout the state of Illlnole under the direction of United Statea Senator William E. Mason. "There sre numerous instances where temporary receivers have been appointed for the management of public utilltlea," said Senator1 Mason, "and which afford ample precedent for such an action In the present emergency. Railroads have been thua treated by the courts upon the pe tition of the people, as can be shown by the records. I have In mind, too, a case where a dispute between a municipality and a water worke company which threatened to deprive th people of a water supply resulted in the appointment of a receiver until tbe trouble waa settled.

SENATOR L0DGEJ0N THE NEED lie Tells Esses t loh There MionM Re t'ornorntlona. BOSTON, Oct. 4. Senstor Henry Cabot of the Esaex club today, held to ratify the recent state nominations, to make a notable l speech, dealing with the coal situation snd also with tariff revision. He expressed earnest aympathy with and emphatic sup port of the president In the latter' efforts to end tbe coal strike, and confidence tbat the party would be with blm lu whatever further steps he might take. Continuing, be said: "With the matter in the position In which It now is, I do not wish to say what I think at this Instant of the merits of the case as presented to the country this morning after the conference In Washing ton. "I feel rsther strongly In regard to tbe attitude taken by some of tbe conferees, but I do not think It is tbe part of wisdom, while "the matter is still pending, to In flame feeling or aggravate the altuatlon, which I bad enough. But there Is one thing which I think we all can say and that Is that the president of the United States has acted in a manner which all Amor leans, without regard to party, ap prove. The president will"' not let the matter rest where It Is. - '.'Aside from any economic question the coal companies of Pennsylvania do not to day stand in a position where tbey can psk for protection even If they needed It. I think it is a painful illustration of the wisdom of what the president has been saying in various speeches In New Eng land and elsewhere In regard to the nece' slty of some government supervision regu lating what are commonly called trusts. "There is do trust In the anthracite re- glon. There are certala large corporations which it is the fashion to call trust and there are certain large corporations in the anthracite coal fields and this strike shows the necessity of some kind of supervision and regulation of these great corporations. which produce tbe necessaries of life, by the national government. Those great cor porations are useful to buslcesa, they are necessary to us In the economic contests of the present time. They are as essential to modern business as anything can possibly be.- They sre' good servant, but they are dangorou masters. There must be some power that ran control them in the last resort. There Is a cry to take the duty off coal the little duty there is 67 cents a ton. I should like to see congress paas a law authorizing the president to proclaim tbe removal of the duty on bituminous coal coming from Canada, Just as soon as Canada takes off the duty on our coal going Into Canada." Speaking of tariff revision he said: "The removal of the tariff on trust-made goods would be the most destructive to the com petitors of the trusts and least to the trusts themselves. We need authority to regulate theae trust. Tbe greatest safe guard In this country 1 publicity. If there bad been power in the hands of the presi dent to tend a commission to th coal re gions and bear all tbsre waa to be said on both sides, there would be no atrlke. This would stop nearly all the strike and lockouts. We should have a proper ac counting from theae corporation tbat have un air of mystery about them. To gO about it by reducing tbe tariff is a silly proposi tion." i . . MARYLAND . WILL SEND NONE Governor . Smith .Thinks It Idle to Appoint Dcleajates to Strike Meeting- In Detroit. BALTIMORE.

Oct. 4 -The railway expresa companies In Chlrago have made up their minds to tight the union of their teamsters rsther hsn Submit to Its present demand. The teamsters have prepared tor tbe strug gle and at a meeting tomorrow night will. It la expected, formally order a strike. Apparently the last hope of mediation dissppeared today when the teamsters sent an ultimatum that the companies must recognize their Union snd 'hire none hut Its members. At a conference held later the companies refused to agree to this and requested sll their teamsters to meet In the various barns tonight.
