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

Chairman Thomas Makes statement.
NEW YORK. Oct. 4. 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

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

President Rescavage of district No. 1,

numbers of Poles, Slavs and Italians. Son.
of them, he eays, are fresh arrivals frjrti

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." WILL BURN ANY OLD THING

QUICKLY CURED
Dear Sirs; I picked up one of your cir
culars on a table about a month ago and
read it through. After reading I went out
and bought a bottle of your whiskey, which
helped me right away. I am now on my
fourth bottle, using It fur so-called In
curable consumption, snd I feel like a new
man. I think that If 1 had known of your
whiskey when I was at home In Chicago 1
would never have corne out here for my
ha)th. lift S'Hl'BARTH.
1K Market St.. Denver, March IS, lo2.
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. It Is the only whiskey
recognised by the government aa a medi
cine. This Is a guarantee.
A valuable medical booklet containing
symptoms and treatment of each disease
and many testimonials will be sent free
to any reader of this paper who will write
Duffy Malt Whiskey Co.. Rochester. N. Y.
for It. Heretofore this wood bas been
burned or sent out to sea.
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.

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
