PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 8. The visit of
the committee representing the National
Association of Manufacturers for the pur
pose of conferring with the presidents of i
the coal roads appears to have been fruit
less. The committee arrived here early this
morning and spent the greater part of the
day at the manufacturers' club, awaiting (
the appearance of the presidents, but none
of the latter answered. In person at least,
the request of the committee for a con
ference. Then the committee Issued the following
vague statement:
The committee of the National Asso

delphia, after meeting John Mitchell and
his associates at buffalo on Tuesday, for
the purpose of considering measures by
which the coal strike could he ended, and

WILKES BARRE, Pa., Oct. (.President

Every local union of tbe miners' organi

mine owners grant them some concession.
And while the reports of these meetings
came pouring In to Wllkesbarre President
Mitchell dictated a letter to the president,
Jn which he gave his answer to the propo
sition tha,t the strikers return to work and
trust to' have their condition Improved
through an Investigating commission.

SPEECH IS CAUSE OF UPROAR
Tumultuous Scenes Mark the Reas
sembling of the llnnaarlaa
Parliament.
BUDA PEST, Hungary, Oct. . Tho
lower house of tbe Hungarian Parliament
reassembled today, with a repetition t of
the tumultuous scenes which marked
last session. Vice President Barab' "",
Kossuthlst, declared that the recent nv
tlatlons looking to the further renewal w
the agreement fixing the proportionate cost
of the admtstntion of the common affairs
of Austria-Hungary had been unavailing
and asserted that Austria was trying to
despoil and ruin Hungary with the conni
vance of the emperor-king.
Amid a tremendous uproar which his re
marks created, Herr Barabas shouted that
while he bowed respectfully before the
king, he must adhere to his opinion regard
ing the emperor. Barabas was thereupon
called to order and was Informed that If
he used such expressions he would not
be allowed to spesk. This led the Leftists
to declare that all steps to arrive at an
agreement with Austria would be blocked.
Premier De Siell then rose and. speaking
at first am'.d an uproar, said:
"It has been Insinuated that It Is his
majesty's Intention to ruin the deatlny of
Hungary. This statement I must solemnly
and categorically repel. I declare that in
these delicate and difficult negotiations
with Austria his majesty has not exerted
any influence upon me. I have the right to
ask you to believe this, not as politicians
swayed by party passion, but as serious
men. I assure you Ms majesty has always
preserved the most strict neutrality."
His majesty explained that while recog
nizing the undying merits of Kossuth, the
latter bad placed himself at variance with
the whole nation In maintaining that the
emperor of Austria could never be king of
Hungary, hence it was Impossible' for the
government to attend the festivities In
Kossuth's honor.

policemen were painfully wounded by flying
missiles. Fifty shots were fired during the
disturbance.
The first car which started from th
barns was In charge of Motorman Fred
Nlnts of Chicago and Conductor M. L. Ken
nedy. There was on board a large force of
policemen, and Peter Johnson and Alfred
Clark, the two men from Chicago, who ar
rived here last night with a force of thirty
men to take tbe places of the strikers. A
large crowd. Including strikers, their sym
pathizers and curious people, were on the
street.
As the car approached the corner of Dor
genols street members of the mob rushed
out, tore up planking from either side of
the street and threw it across the tracks.
Then brick and stones flew through the air.
Obstructions brought the car to a standstill
and a rush was made for the' nonunion men
on board. There was such a hall of missiles
that the police and others on board had to
stoop to save themselves.
Fusillade of Shots.
As the car stopped a number of police
men Jumped off in an attempt to press back
the strikers. Immediately a shot was fired.
Then a perfect fusillade of shots came from
both aides and the car was enveloped In
smoke.
In the meantime R. D. Kountxe, a young
man of Luray, Va., who was on the car,
ran out and attempted to clear the track
of the planks and debris that had' been
thrown upon It. He was pelted by bricks
and stone, but was perfectly cool and bad
pretty - well cleared the track when tho
mob descended on him and overwhelmed
him.
Clark and Johnson were dragged from
the car and terribly beaten before the
police could fight off tbe mob and rescue
tbem.
Police reinforcements were rushed to the
scene and after a long struggle the space
immediately around the car was cleared.
It was then found that Officer Schlessinger
had been shot in the head. Motorman
Ferguson, striker, through the arm, and
Conductor Kennedy in the hand, and that
a cumber of policemen had been painfully
hurt by flying missiles.
Although a hundred shots were fired, no

car attacked today were armed and all of
tbem are said to have used their weapons
during the attack.
It is said warrants will be sworn out In
the federal court against many of the men
who participated in the rioting yesterday, on
the ground that the service of the mall cars
was Interrupted. Secret service agents
from Washington are reported to be here
and co-operating with the local police offi

TAKES BRAGG FROM HAVANA
President Moves Conaal to Hong Kong;
for Slighting; t'nbaa
People.
WASHINGTON. Oct. Edward S. Bragg,
consul general at Havana, has been trans
ferred to the post of Vnlted States consul
general at Hong Kong, taking the place of
Wlldam A. Rublee. who has been trans
ferred to the consulate at Havana.
The change In the Havana general con
sulate has been In contemplation for almost
three months. It was decided that It was
neceessry to make the chang and the only
question was where General Bragg could
be placed without substantial loss.
Although It Is realised that. General Bragg
has been guilty of a lack of Judgment in
making rather contemptuous criticisms of
tbe Cuban people, as he was not directly
responsible for its publication, tbe presi
dent decided to look on his esse with a
lenient eye. Early ,ln July Oeneral Bragg
wrote a letter to his wlfs at her home In
this country, In which he used this lan
guage: "Unci Sam might as well try to make
a whistle out of a pig's tail as to try to
make something out of ths Latin race."
Tbe letter was published on July 14.
The new appointee at Havana, like Gen
eral Bragg, is a Wisconsin man.: He was
originally appointed as United Butes consul
at Prague, Austria, In 1890, and retired
from that post in 1898. He re-entered tbe
consular service In 1901, going directly to
Hong Kong.

Colorado Stockmen Most Have Feed
or Dispose of Their
Stoek.
DENVER, Oct. 8. (6peclal Telegram.)
The executive board of the Colorado Cattlo
and Horse Growers' association has de
cided to ask the railroads to make a spe
cial rate on corn from Nebraska and Kan
sas to western Colorado so that they could
feed their cattle through the winter. Th
scarcity of feed because of the drouth on
the western range has made it Imperttlve
that the cattle men feed their stock through
the winter In order not to lose heavily. If
the rate Is not granted tbe shipments of
cattle out of the country on the other side
of the range will be so heavy as to drain
the country of cattle and the loss will b
tremendous.

In his carriage. He was carried downstairs
from his room on the second floor of tbe
temporary White House In an Invalid's

the cheers of a large crowd, and was placed
in the carriage, in which there was a board
to support his injured leg.
Doctors Give Him Leave.
Tho president's physicians saw him dur
ing the morning snd satisfied themselves
tbat he could Bafely make the trip.
Twenty or thirty thousand people greeted
his appearance with shouts, to which he
responded by ralelng his hut and bowing
and smiling. When he wss lifted Into the
carriage he steadied himself on his right
leg and hopped to tbe farther Bide, adjust
ing his injured leg to tho board which had
bceu placed there by his attendants. Sec
retary Cortelyou Joined him on his left and
Colonel Theodore A. Bingham In full uni
form occupied the seat In front. A platoon
of mounted police acted as an escprt.
Gets Slgnnl Ovatlou.
As the party swept into the broad avenue
a tremendous cheer went up and the side
walks and stands were white with flutter
ing handkerchiefs. The president ac
knowledged the demonstration by lifting
his hat and bowing right and left. In
front of the reviewing stand the carriage
was halted. The march down the street
was made to the right of the oncoming
column of veterans, the demonstration
swelling In volume as It proceeded. The
spectators and veterans alike cheered the
appearance of the chief executive. The re
turn Journey from the Peace monument
was made on the other side of the avenue
and at a more rapid pace.
Less than thirty-five minutes wers con
sumed in the Journey. During Its progress
the president found tbat th board used
to support the limb was uncomfortable and
it was discarded. When the Whit House
was reached the president did not alight.
Instead, Secretary Cortelyou and Colonel
Bingham got out, and, much to th sur
prise of the Waiting crowds, Mr. Roosevelt
emerged, chtnred Ihe-csrriage and was
a rive n rapidly away with th president
The drive had been arranged beforehand,
but had not been announced. It took tho
president snd Mrs. Roosevelt through th
northwest section of the city.
Sons of Thunder.
Many of the old soldiers carried indi
vidual flags and guldors, all wore badgea
and some posts carried bannera bearing
peculiar inscriptions. For instance, the
post from Somerset, Pa., announced In bold
letters tbat they were the "Sons of Thun
der." The spectators cheered them good-
naturedly.
Scattered here and there In the proces
sion were women and once In a while a
girl appeared as the dnugbtnr of the regi
ment. There wss one femule band, hailing
from Waterloo, Ind., all of whom wore
long, maroon-colored dresses. They played
a patriotic air and wers duly cheered.
In many Instances the departments rep
resenting states carried banner or badges'
Intended to attract attention to especial
state characteristics or productions. The
Mains column was led by a tall man carry
lug a large pine bough and practically all
the Maine men wore amall pine boughs In
tbelr coats. Tbe Georgia men wor open

barolans the same insignia in thslr coat

lonj ears of corn. The Florldans wer
decorated with palms and pineapples, the
Loulslanlans with cotton and sugar can
and the Vermon'ers with ferns.
Every Kausan in the parade, and ther
were aeveral hundred of them there, car
ried an umbrella painted on th outsids to
represent a huge sunflower. This prob
ably was tbe most unique display mad
by any state, though It was only little mors
so than that of Iowa, whose members each
carried a big ear of native corn on th
side whera formerly canteen ware borne,
these esrs being suspended from bright,
broad, nsw yellow ribbons. They passed
the reviewing stand shouting In unison:
"Hurrah, hurrah, for corn and hay; w
ar the boy from Ioway."
Rooster Would !ot Crow.
The North Dakotans bore aloft sheaves of
wheat. Texans carried high in th air a
lone sliver star, set between an tmmenss
pair of Texas sleer horns. Tha Oklahoma
contingent piessod ths claims of that ter
ritory to admission into th union of states.
One of tbe Mlchlgaoders held up a big
gray rooster, but be wss too subdued to
crow, though he was vtbetoently urged to
do so. Bryan post of Trenton, N. J., car
ried a hornet's nest (vacated) and a placard
held aloft announced that ther are still
left some of the eprlcg chickens of'l8L
The Maryland division was precsded by
forty tightly furled and badly worn battle
flags.' They were wound about pine staves
and surmounted with wreaths of laurel. ,

ex-United Slates Senator Peffer. General
Keifor walked for a time with the Ohloan
and Oeneral Grenvllle M. Dodge put in tb
