Operators and Workingmen’s Confer-
ence Adjourns Sine Die.

AN AGREEMENT IMPOSSIBLE.

No PropOsition Made by One Side Proved
Acceptable to the Other—President
Batchford Throws Out Hints
of a General Strike.

Plttsburg, Aug. 25.——The final effort to
arrange a plan for ending the big coal
strike has proved a failure and the strike

$1 goes-on. The conference between a com-
. mittee of coal operators and miners,
national district officials, closed today
and the conference adjourned without
date. The miners’ representatives did
not rec'ede from their original proposi-
tion to settle the strike by arbitration
and start the mines at the 69 cent rate.

The operators offered to divide the
difference between 54 and 69 cents rates,
making the price at which the mines
should start 611/2 cents per ton, but this
was rejected. Then additional proposi-
tions were made. One was to start the
mines without fixing any price for 30
days and then to pay the rate agreed
upon by the board of arbitration. This
was also refused by the miners, and
they said they had been fooled too often
to trust the operators again. They‘de-
clinecl to work for a month giving the
operators the output that length of time
without knowing what wages would be
paid. A proposition was then made to
operator the mines for 10 days without
fixing the price and allow a board of
arbitration to fix the‘ price for that time.

President Ratchford insisted that
nothing but the 69 cent rate could possi-
bly be accepted.

The operators were firm, but the
miners were equally determined and
every argument of the mine owners was
met by the miners’ leaders.

Both Sides Obdurate.

Neither side would concede another
point, and it,was decided to end the
conference.

President Ratchford gave out the fol-
lowing statement: “We have disagreed.
Our proposition remained unchange‘.
Besides our proposition to arbitrate, we
made them a second one along the lines
of bringing about a general conference
of miners and operators of all the min-
ing states. They refuse to lend their
efforts in that direction, and the strike
will be continued. We have no other
plans for the future.” .

Immediately after the close of the
céhference, . B. Zerbe called a meeting
of operators to discuss the situation
and outline a plan for future action.

From the tone of the remarks of some
of- the operators they favor the plan de-
cided upon at the Cleveland conference,
to make a fight and start the mines with
the old men if they can be induced to
dig at 54 cents, or to import men to take
their places. "

There are others, however, who say

. they will not aid in carrying out this
plan and favor a complete surrender.

The outlook after the adjournment of
the conference seemed to be encouraging
for the miners. There is no question of
the anxiety of the operators to start
their mines. Nearly every coal com-
pany in the Pittsburg district was rep-
resented at the Monongahela House
during the conference. ,

 

President Ratchfo’fil’s Protest.

Pittsburg, Aug. 25.—M. D. Ratchford,
national president of the United Mine
Workers of America, speaking of the big
mass meeting of the heads of various and
many labor organizations of the country
which will be held at St. Louis next
Monday said: “From every section of
the country we have received encourag-
ing letters. All of them express ap-
proval in the adoption of our plan, and I
am safe in saying it will be one of the
greatest events in the history of the
country. We will take steps to discon-
tinue the use and abuse of un-American
injunctions that some of our courts have
seen fit to grant. If the St. Louis con-
ference does what I believe it will, it
will bring about a general strike of all
the branches of trade in the United

States.
“It has been said that it will mean an
insurrection. I hope not. These con—

ditions have been thrust upon us by the
operators and the courts. Our course
has been pronounced the most prac-
ticable by the most conservative of men.
The time has come when labor mus: de—
‘fénd labor and stand up unitedly against
the usurpation of law forbidding the
right of free speech and public meeting."

 

The' \‘Vlmreabouts of A. S. “Val-nor.

New York, Aug. 25.—It was rumored
at police headquarters today that the
detective bureau had a clew to the
'whereabouts of Albert S. Warner, the
lawyer who is believed to have planned
the kidnaping of little John Conway Of
Albany. The only basis for the report,
however. was that Detective Sergeant
McCauley, Acting Inspector O’Bricn’s
lieutenant, who is assigned to make
important arrests, left Mulberry street
in a hurry. ‘

Santo Domingo Railroad Finished.

Washington, Aug. 25.——Consul Grimke,
at Santo Domingo, informs the state
department of the completion of a rail-
road from Puerto Plata, the seaport, to
Santiago, about 40 miles, over two
mountain ranges. American and Brit-
ish capital is invested in the road, and
several American engineers have been
engaged in its building.

 

lIIr. Vanderbilt Not: to Build a Hospital.

Asheville, N. (3., Aug. 25.—The Citizen
received a letter from Charles MO-
Namee, who is with George Vanderbilt
at Lubeck, Germany, denying the re-
cently published story that Mr. Vander-
bilt intended to build a $100,000 hospital
in Asheville. Mr. McNéf'mee says the
story has no foundation in fact.

Mrs. C. TVarren, who lives at 7 Ann

been troubled quite badly with catarrh,
and I got him a. bottle of California
Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug "store,
and had him use it. It helped him
very much, and seems to keep his head
much clearer than it was before. As
so many troubles arise from catarrh,
especially when one so young has it. I
feel that in Catarrh Cure I have found
a good thing.”

THE G. A. R. ENGAMPMBNT.

President’ McKinley Welcomed by Old
Comrades—“'eather Conditions Good.
Buffalo, Aug. 25.—The weather 'today

was excellent for the Grand Army of
the Republic encampment. All night
long trains were arriving at brief inter-
vals,
sightseers. All was bustle and confu-
sion at the railroad stations, and as
early as 6 o’clock the principal streets
were crowded. The features of the day
were the arrival of President McKinley,
the dinner tendered him by Columbia
post of Chicago and the parade of naval
veterans and ex-prisoners of war.

The president was met by the recep-
tion committee and escorted by mount-
ed police, 200 soldiers of the regular
army and local and visiting posts of
the Grand Army of the Republic to the
Niagara hotel, where he will stop dur-
ing his stay here. The programme for
the day and evening also included a
parade of naval veterans and ex-pris-
oners of war; meeting of army nurses:
reunions of the First, Second, Third,
Fifth, Tenth and Twenty-fourth corps;
reunion of Loyal Home Workers; con-
vention and campfire of national vet-
erans; a Grand Army of the Republic
road race; an illuminated bicycle pa-
rade; campfire of ex-prisoners of war,
and numerous receptions tendered to
and by the ladies of the various aux-
iliary bodies.

The different railroads centering here
have given estimates of the number Of
passengers landed in Buffalo during
24 hours. The grand total is 145,000. As
all the railroads report expected ar-
rivals at least equaling those, and quite
a. few more specials, it is estimated that
there will be at least 150,000 more arri-
vals before the big parade tomorrow,
which will bring the grand total of en-
campment visitors up to the number
that has been expected all along—
350,000.

The feature of this morning was the
second parade of the celebration, and
the first in which Grand Army men took
part’. The Naval Veterans' association
and the ex-Prisoners of War associa-

county regiments and 0. er organiza-
tions, composed the Grand Army con~

nt. Formation took place at 9:3
o’c car, on Franklin street, the right
of line resting on Niagara street, under
the direction of Joseph Stevens, grand
marshal. At 10 o’clock the procession
moved, taking its route down Franklin
to Niagara, to Main, to Exchange, coun-
termarching up Main to North, thence

then disbanding.

General Alger at the Throttle.
Syracuse, Aug. 25.-—During the run
of the presidential train from Utica to
Syracuse, Secretary of “Tar Alger, who
admits a passion for railroading, pre-
sided at the lever of the engine under
the direction of General Manager Tou—
cey of the New York Central. The sec-
retary sent the train along at a gait a

little faster than a mile a minute.

 

Secretary W'ilson‘ In Demand.

Washington, Aug. 25.—Many invita-
tions addressed to Secretary Wilson t:
visit state and county fairs during the
approaching autumn are being received
at the agricultural department, a large
number of them being from southern
states. As the secretary expects to g”!
to Nashville during the fall he may take
in some of the hits in the neighboring

states.

 

 

To Prevent Burying Alive.

Washington, Aug. 25.—The state de-
partment has received a letter from
our consul at Turin describing the ef—
forts in Italy to avert premature burial.
The subject is attracting the attention
of Italian physicians, and various de—
rices for communicating from the grave
to the outer world will be exhibited at
the Turin National exposition next
April. .

 

Price of Bread In France.

Paris, Aug. 25.—Le Figaro, discuss-
ing the increase in the price of bread in
France, says today: “The political etc
of the question dominates the economic
side. There are two possible solutions
of the question—the state to fix a maxi-
mum price for bread, or the govern—
ment to reduce the customs duties.”
