I An authority In civil -mining said. today
that (ha coat companies, as a result of the

they did not know much about tha attitude
ot-lhe members. Same of tbem believe the
board was favorable to the miners.
The fact that the greatest conflict be

Tbe miners feel 4 hey have won a victory
and Mr that even If the award of tbe com
mission does .not-give them all. they have
asked tor. It Is a good thing for tha future
of the workingman f the world.
Tbe superintendent .of one of the largest
coal companies- In the region was asked
today, how long It would take . after the
miners returned .to work to bring about
normal coat supplies and in reply he anld:
It Is the general understanding among the
comuanb-s thai- only vnormal prices shall
prevalf af ternhd general resumption of min
ing. All through the strike the companies,
with the exteptlaii. of a lew ..Individ' wl
operator have not charged alm-v. rrml
prlcea. The middle min r retail dealers
have taken advaqtiwgtt or the Hltuatlon and
1ut up the price. ' ft la' posalble they will
teep them jp until the public Is fully sup
plied and the dc.rnand is not greater than
tha production.
It ls'not 'definitely fcriown here how long!
It will take tbe companies to make lh sup
ply equal to the" demand, The condition
ot the vartotrs collieries of the companies
are so different that no Close estimate can
be mad. There, are collieries, principally
lta 'tha' Ibwer''' territory.' that cannot be
worked at this time owing to their being
partly flooded. Other mines need repairs,
such a timbering up the roofs, and others
I cannot be worked until they have been

President at His Desk.
'.' JVAfipINOTON; Oct. 1T6. Not withstand
tag the sever strain. Incident to the men
tal and physical labors. .yestarday and last
night. President Roosevelt Wis at his desk
early todajn.'. ' .,
Burgeon General QRellly and Dr. Lung,
who called at the temporary White House
shortly after 9 o'clock, announced, on
leaving, that the president was progress
ing finely mild was In excellent spirits.
Already the' president Is In receipt of
scores of telegrams ot congratulation upon
hla efforts to effect a settlement ot the
anthracite 'coal strike. ,:
No doubt Is expressed that- the misers
will accede' to tha arrangements made by
the president and accept the commission of
arbitration appointed by him. Indeed, it la
known already at tbe White House that the
personnel of the 'commission meets tha
personal approval of Mr. Mitchell. It Is
understood, to fact, that tbe miners' presi
dent suggested to President Roosevelt that
in tbe selection et the members ot tbe
cpmmtssloa, .he include a, representatlv of
the clergy and one who. was known to be
In practical. If not In active, sympathy
with drganired labor, Hla desires in this
respect wero gratifies by the president's
appointment of Bishop J. L. Spalding and
of ,E. Clark,, gram) chief of the Order
of Railway Conductors.'.
Whether Mr. Mitchell suggested these
among other oanes of "men who trould be
satisfactory to blm, could not be ascer
tained. It la understood tbat those named
ns membera of the commission have Indi
cated to the president, their wi.Uogness to
accept' tile trust Imposed upon tbem.
It has pot been determined at this time
wlen or where the commtskton wUI hold
Its slUlngs. It Is stated at the White
Houst that this will be one ot the details
to be- worked out when a formal accept
ance of the arbitration commission shall
have bon received from the miners.
Naturally, it la assumed that the head
quarters of the commission ill be la Wash
ington, but It is entire? likely that some,
at least, of its proceedings will be held
Id New York and la the coal regions, prob
tbly t .Wilkesbarre.
Tbe report ot the commlsaton will' be
made to- the prealdent and by him wUI be
communicated to .the parties to the con
troversy aad to the general public.
'Two of the all members. General Wil
son aad Mr. Parker, and the recorder, Com-mission-
of Labor Wright, live In this
city, and they are ready to begin their
labors at any time. The other, it la v
pected, will be able to come here without
delgy. Mr. Parker today to 1 New Have.
Con., where he la attending the con
vention of the American Institute of Min
ing Bngineer. He will probably return
to .Washington at once.
The work of the commission-will be ex
haustive' and 'will take considerable time.
It V -tbe president's desire that the In
quiry be: very thorough and that the com
mission perform the labors set before tt
so coaiplolely aa to secure not only
final adjustment of the preaeat troubles,
but also to furnish a basis upon which
similar great labor troubles may be averted
in tbe futare.
Ita first step will be. to organise and
select a chairman to preside over its delib

The president himself feels deeply grate
ful for' the outcome. He regards It. as
honorable to both aides, ss securing Jus

Mr. (Urgent,'. th oompilssloner general
of Immigration, Jho is well known In
labor-circle. -and who has been prominent
in the movement to secure a settlement of
the difference between the operators and
the strikers, I pleased with the outcome
tf the president's efforts to put an end to
the ctrlke, and especially as organised
labor la specifically, recognlied la tbe
makeup of the arbitration commission.
It is understood that, for sodia time psst
the president has had steadily In view the
fact that the enry way a settfeiaent could
iK arnvea at -was en trie basis or a com
mission 6r,arbllratl9n and that he has
given much time and earnest thought to
the personnel of such a commission.
It Is understood that Bishop Ppalding of
Peoria was the president's personal choice
for a place on the commission and bis se
lection was particularly pleasing to Mr.
Mitchell, aa he knows the bishop Intimately
and has the utnjost confidence la his ability
and fair-mindedness.
The appointment of E. E".. Clark was un
doubtedly at the auggestlon of Mr. Mitchell
himself. Mr. Clark,, whose home is In Cedar
Rapid, la.. I the grand chief conductor of
tbe railway conductor and has the reputa
tion of being a man ot unquestionable abil
ity and Integrity. '
Six years ago Mr. Clark served as one of
the arbltratora in a controversy between
tha. Grand Trunk railway and ome of it
employe, and I aald to have acquitted him
self In a way most aatisfactory to all In.
tereste concerned. Mr. Clark is at present
the chairman ot the Railway Employes'
federation.
The appointment of Mr. Carroll D. Wright
as recorder ot the commlsiiQn I ald to be
equally satisfactory and, In fact, the state
ment 1 made on nigh authority that a
constituted the persounel of tbe commission
Is eminently satisfactory both to the opera
tors and the labor leaders. - .

SCRANTON, Pa.. Oct. 16. Thomas H.
Watklns, the member of the president'

due to his knowledge of the coal mining
business, was formerly of the firm of Simp

NEW YORK. Oct. M. During the after
noon Preaidenta Truesdale. Fowler aad Un
dvrwood and Chairman Taeniae called at
Mr. Morgan's efflee. President Underwood
waa asked whst he thought ef the com
mission appointed yesterday by President
Roosevelt.
"It Is a good commission," he aald. "No
body could have appointed a better one."
Asked If that was the general opinion
of tbe operator. Mr. Underwood replied:
"I don't know. I haven't een any of
the operators alnce the appointment was
made."
The president of a coal road waa asked
how soon the stringency would be relieved
by the developments of the last couple ot
days. '' ' ' -
"The stringency' to ended now," he re
plied. "Tou must remember that everybody
i has been holding' tip ' Id rase of an emer
' gency untH certain -ef supply from the
, mines. All this stored coaj will now be
released ana win r Drought to New
York." '4 " - J
Few of (he representatives of tbe coal
Interest would discos the preaeat atatua
of the cost situation today, beyond ex
pressing their belief tbat the commission
named last night haa a tremendous task
beforo It. "It haa a serious problem to
solve," said FreMdent Olyphant of the
Delaware V Hudson road. "The question
of wages the men are to receive: how the
men are to be paid In different mines and
In different veins in tbe earns mines are
some of the questions. These are the prob
lems that men have grown gray-beaded
trying to solvp.." ,
E. B. Thomas, chairman of the executive
board of the Erie, said:
"I consider that the adjustment of dif
ferences will be a long drawn out and
difficult undertaking." . .
Discussing the possibility of getting coat
into the market promptly after the mines
resume, Mr. Olyphant said: "It the miners
go to work at once w will be able to get
coal here right away. I do not know any
thing about their going tJ ork, but when
they do go, everything that can carry coal
will be pressed into service."
President Underwood, of the Erie rail
road, was asked his opinion of the com
mission . appointed- by the president, lie
aald nobody could have appointed a better
one. Asked If tbat was the general opinion
of tbe presidents,. he said he did not Ituow.
Robert C. Grlcr, secretary ot the-I'ocrla,
III., board of trade, who Is in '.he illy,
said the appointment of Bishop Spalding
would commend Iself to everybody, Catho

Spalding less than a week ago," aald Mr.
Grler, "and he expressed at that time rat
sympathy with .the coal miners. '

London Paper lOed.
LONDON, Oct. 16. The afternoon news
papers here express great satisfaction at
the apparent favorable outcome of the coal
strike in the United States for the sake of
Great Britain as well as the United States.
"It is a notable personal triumph for the
president in getting the masters to arbi
trate," said the Westminster Gazette, which
adds that the announcement of. the compro
mise arrived at materially strengthened tbe
prices of American securities at the opening
of the Stock exchange. .
"The President's Triumph" Is the sub
ject of long dispatches and editorial arti
cles Id all tbe morning newspapers, and in
some cases congratulations are also ex
tended to J. Pierpont Morgan.
Tbe Standard says: "British consumers
have more than an altruistic interest In
the settlement of tho strike, for had it
lasted another month- the cost of- coal,
might have risen here to an unwelcome
figure." 1
Tbe Dally New and the Daily Chronicle
contend that President Roosevelt's action
la a great'lesson for British statesmen.
The Dally Telegraph says: "American
trades unionism, by securing n reference
to arbitration, has achieved - a (precedent
which may be far-reaching, tor it sug
gests unmistakably that the spiead of la
bor. organisation-across tbe Atlantic may
prove-.to-.be a', more-rraptd vtnd -powerfuli
check upon tbe trusts than either tariff re
form or federal amendment'."
Takes ft Per a ilar View.
The Times' says: "It would be Inter
esting to know what considerations Presi
dent Roosevelt pressed upon Mr. Mitchell
in the final interview. They muit hv been
weighty onea to compel what is really an
unconditional- surrender and to convince
Mr. Mitchell that hi game wa hopeless.
"In a most quiet and unobtrusive man
ner the president ha done a very big and
entirely new thing. We ' are witnessing
not merely the .ending of the coal atrlko.
but tbe definite' entry of a powerful gov-'
eminent upon a novel sphere of operation.
President Roosevelt's personal prestige is
enormously enhanced by the immediate
public service he has rendered."
Then, referring to the dangers of trusts,
the article concludes: ' . .
"Let the Americans stick to their preal
dent and strengthen hi hands. If there
I any living man who can show them the
way rut of dancer threatening them, that
man Is Mr. Roosevelt."- ' ";
VIENNA, Oct. 16. Discussing the coal
stlke In the United 8tates, tbe Zeit today
makes a highly eulogistic comment on
President Roosevelt's action. It says:
The president filled the role In the world's
theater of special pleader In behalf of the
oppressed, vacant since the death of Mr.
Gladstone.
Praising Mr. Roosevelt's action In the coal
atrlke, the Zelt eaya It thinks "the consid
eration of the question, whether these labor
wars should be permitted to extend to neu
tral territory, endangering the 'welfare of
ita people, not dlrectlv concerned, will
oblige the states to Intervene in these econ
omic struggles."

LONDON. Oct. 16. Prllmnt w re
opened today without any of the usual
formalities, the bouse proceeding Imme
diately to the business of tbe day." -
Owing to the font reversal character ot
the educstlddal till and the' unbending de
termination ot both sides, the session prow
lee to be the occasion of the most serious
party- struggle witnessed in the Hone of
Commons since the last' liberal govermept
retired from 6fflce. ' ' '
The sitting opened with a' turbulent'' de
bate. Premier Balfour moved that the-ret
raainder of the session be entirely devoted
to government business which, he explained,
would consist mainly ot tbe d!-cnslon' of
the educational and ' London water bills,
while the Indian budget, 'the Uganda rail
road, sugar bounties and 'the ttpplr tote
would enable-the procedure to be carried
out. The Transvaal, he addfd, would also
require attention. "' " " '
James Bryce. leading the Liberal 1a the
absence of Sir' Henry Campbell Banner
man, made a mild protest and then 'cam
a atorm. '" ' "'" 1
Patrick O'Brien, sitting in the place
usually occupied by John Redmond," the
Irish leader in the' house, asked that at
least a day between now end Christmas be
devoted to' the' discussion of lhe sir loos
state of affairs In Ireland.
Mr.-Balfeur replied that If-th? retUqat
for such an opportunity came from the lib
eral leadeik Hn government would grant It,
but they could not notice It from tb Irish
party.
On Verge of Revolt. -
William O'Brien thereupon made an Im
passioned speech warning the house' that
Ireland was on ' the verge' of revolt.' The
constitution, )ie 'said, Vs' practically sus
pended, and jpow 'the members were gagged
in ,tno only. parliament tney nao. , ... .
Throughout, Mr. O'Brien's ' remarks the
Irish members kept up a perfect storm Of
applause. , When. Mr. Wymlham, Jb chief
secretary for Ireland, entered the house fle
Irish members biased blm loudly, and the
speaker, who, ws frequently..on''hls .feet
asking for 'order, sternly' repj-eesed ' the
demonstration. . ' ,
Mr. Lloyd-Ge jrge, backed' up. ljy . Irish
members and P, .CKComtor, brought, the
excitement t'q a 'fever heat by bitterly up
braiding Mr, . BeJfour.- for declaring . tbat
IrlHh matters must only V ,dscused by
favor o( the English liberals. . ' ,
Only after a heated . colloquy s with, .the
speaker was Mr. O'Conner prevented from
voicing, abuse at Mr Wyndhaniand a de
scription of the alarming; state of Ireland,
which the other . nationalist members "'had
not touched on. ,''.,'.' ,.', - '
During the afternoon the speaker's ruling
raised ,. renewed clamor from the Irish,
- - . 'i' i . -t ' ' - ' . ,
benches. , v... . ..... . ,. ,
Climax themes Uneasteetedly.
Member of the House of Lord, as spec
tators, crowded Into' the House of C6m
mons In expectation ot a scene, for the
threats from ' the ' Irish benches became
more and more audible. -The clfmax came
unexpectedly,- Mr.-- Heahy,- amidst Intense
excitement, ald.-.' .-r.-. 'r
..t'Irlseito dbealc aa 'na native of Uganda,"

mons, MmJreaiyv a 1 wary- aa a. -Ugandan,,
thanked - the , premier -for bis ' considera
tion, which enabled the .Imperial parlia
ment to devote time to the discussion ot
native affairs,... He complimented Mr. Bal
four' on , being able to sufficiently' detach
himself so as to be oblivious pt the vital
disturbance prevailing In "that distant and
distressful country, Ireland." O
In this vein, which Irreslstably held Hhe
attention of the. house and which caused
Mr. Italfour himself frequent amusement,
Mr. Haly completed what a unionist
member defined aa one ot "the finest satiri
cal Indictments" the government had ever
undergone.
Other nationalist members continued the
debate fiercely, declaring that Irlah affair
were at present more important to Eng
land than any of the matters mentioned In
Mr. Balfour' program. '
William Redmond regrVted that the
Irish -people could -not "with armatn 'their
hands strike blow against the violent
tyranny to : which they were ' eilbjected.
Tbe present action of the government, be
declared, afforded a reason why the Irish
members would take the irst opportunity
ot hurling the ministers from office.
Member la daspended!.
Ultimately Mr.' Balfour moved the closure
and the uproar broke out again lth re
newed vigor. .John Q'Donqal) stood up aad
refused to give way to the speaker. His
fellow, nationalist abouted ebcouragtmeut
and cheered vigorously.
The speaker repeatedly warned. Mr. O'Doo
nell that he was out of, order, and. o
exciting scene, followed. Mr. Balfour moved
the suspension ot Mr. O'Donaell and the
latter crossed the floor, stood la' frpnt of
the premier, abouted defiance and ' shook
hla fist In Mr.. Balfour's face.- The-, bouse
suspended Mr, (O'DonnelJ by a vote of 341
tO 5(1. ., v V,;
Mr. Balfour smiled quietly aa tha Irish
member shouted and gesticulated, and other
members of the cabinet, fearing that-Mr.
O'Donneii would , actually assault- tbe
premier, moved toward him, bat Mr. O.'Doa
nell, having concluded what be had to aay,
returned to hi aet and then ., left tha
house. .
Previous to-the action of the bouse in
suspending Mr. O'Donneii the speaker made
tbe usuul formal request tbat tha offending
member withdraw, which drew forth derisive
cries of "Call th police," ."Muster the horse

BKRLl.V. Oct. 16. The Reichstag, al its
session today entered on the discussion of
the tsriff bill, commencing with the
schedules' relating to wheat and rye.
Chancellor von Buelow recommended that
the bill be 'passed, aa drawn' up, saying
that th house committee proposals In
creasing the minimum tariff would render
the conclusion ot new treaties Impossible.
The' tariff propoeed by the government, he
added, was the extreme limit tt Germany
wished to obtain from .other countries
greater concession than It now enjoyed.
Tbe chancellor enumerated tha consid
erations which guided them In framing
the bill.
The object In view was to afford agri
culture Increased protection, and at the
me time pot only to retain th homi
market, for Germany's Industries, but ale
to develop as much a possible the sale
of German producta abroad.
It was desirable for trade, agriculture
and Industry that commercial treaties ex
tending over' long periods should be con-
clu(ld, 'but they should be based on full
reciprocity while safeguarding Germany'
legitimate interests.
Tbe chancellor pointed out that the new
tariff specialized to a greater extent than
former tariffs,' and said this was Intended
to afford an effective weapon In the' nego
tiation for treaties. It also provided In
creased duties ori article considered' Im
portant fronV 4 politico-commercial view.
point. These increases offered sufficient
scope tor negotiation. The federal gov
ernment regarded moat of the apprehen
sion regarding the minimum rate pro
vided by tbe bill as unfounded. No lack
of solicitude tor agriculture waa shown in
the bill, and tbe fear that the passage of
the measure would lead to increased cost
ot living for tbe working people he eon
Sidered baseless.
Will Never Discriminate.
- The government, the chancellor declared,
would never consent to discriminate against
others ta favor of' working people. They
muat pteer . a middle course, between tbe
In.tercstsof all, between the interests of
the, .agriculturalists and industrialists,
whosft respective success was necessary to
the wri 'are- of, each other. , Th proposed
agrarujn duties would not harm the indue
IriallBts, but the Increase in the. minimum
ratpa would make., it . impossible to con
cjud the .treaties. .
. If , the. bill was rejected the government
would .toe obliged Jto continue the existing
treaties or negotiate, new ones on the basis
of the. ld. tariffs, in- which case It waa
doubtful If German trade, especially agri
culture, wpuld benefit. ..
The .chanoeller's remarks cauaed violent
pretests- and made- him appeal to tbe bouse
not to disturb the course ot the proceed
ings er bring about their suspension-by
artificial mean. Jt would, be laying an
ax -ta the root . of tbe parliamentary sys
tem if thq matter was not discussed in
proper seriousness and In a practical
manner. --.;t -. r
Herr Gothaln (radical) said the bill pro
vided a defensive armor so heavy that it
would only- make the- fight, harder; other
states would .increase their duties and this
process would be-without end. In the In
terest of Industry, he' laid. It would be
wiser to 'extend the Existing treaties. Tho
wretched condition tf agriculture was due,
mainly,' to mismanagement.
Herr von Kardorff (Imperialist) declared
on behalf of hla party tbat It would Insist
upon the proposals ot the tariff committee.
