She has great Influence with the natives, and If she gives advice to vote for Wilcox or Prince Cupid, it will practically mean the election of the one she favors. Prince Cupid, who is her favorite nephew. Is the Republican candidate. In a speech this week he denied that the ex-Queen fa pored Wilcox. Prince Cupid said be told his aunt that the best interests of Hawaii demand the success of the Republican party, and she told him to go ahead and make the fight as a Republican. The ex-Queen will not lain on the subject, and she claims to be itrictly neutral, but her confidential agent J. O. Carter, has come out in favor of Wilcox. . v - Prominent Kcw York Banker. NEW YORK.

SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT", J. PIERPONT MORGAN. ROBERT BACON. W ASHINGTON, . Oct. 13. The coal mine operators have agreed to the ap polntment of a commission, to be ap pointed by the President of the United States, to whom shall be referred all questions at Issue between the compa- jilcsjKidi theJcown 'employes, rhether tney belong to a -union ; or, iiotr ftod the decision -of the commission shall be acr e'epted- by the operators. Tjie commit tee la to. consist of an Army or Navy engineer officer, an expert mining engi neer not connected with the coal mining properties, one of the Judges of the United. States Courts of the Eastern dis trict of Pennsylvania, a man of promi nence as a sociologist, and a man who, by active participation in mining and selling coal, is familiar with the phys ical and commercial features of the business.. The operators also make It a part of the proposition that the miners shall return to work as soon ag the com mission is constituted, and cease all In terference with nonunion men. The commission is to name a date when its findings shall be effective, and to gov ern conditions of employment between the companies and their own employes for at least three years. The statement was read to the President as an act of courtesy before being given to the pres3. GREAT VICTORY FOR ROOSEVELT. Public Sentiment Cansci the Oper ators to Capitulate. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct 13. President Roosevelt has won a great victory, wunout nis inter vention it is doubtful if a settlement of the ioal strike could have been ap proached. Now it Is assured, unless the , miners have been making false profes sions. " I The conditions which the operators at- J tach to the proposition for arbitration are not such as can be refused, although they couch their statement in language which has characterised all their statements. In spite of the Insolent manner In which they received the first overtures of the President they have been compelled to allow him to name a commission of arbi tration. Even In suggesting the charac ter of the men who will compose the com mission, they are following suggestions coming from the President as the char acter of the men described are the kind he would choose. As first believed by the President when he took the Initiative. the men refusing overtures of peace have been compelled by an overwhelming pub lic sntlment to reconsider. His Judg ment has been justified, and the result will causa great rejoicing among those threatened by a coal famine. assembled very quickly after Mr. Morgan and his' nnrtnnr "RnViot-t.

Havinsr been laid before the President by Mr. Morgan It is now given to the" press: 'To the Public: The managers of .thn different coal properties comprising the anthracite coal, fields wish their position In the present strike to bo understood, and therefore make the following state ment of facts: " .'There are in the anthracite recrlons about 75 .operating companies and firms and 147.0CO miners and workmenl of which 35,000. are under age, comprising some 20 nationalities and dialects. Of these work men, possibly one-balf, belong to the United Mlneworkers' Union, of which John Mitchell is president That organl- atlon was originally formed in the bitu minous coal region, and three-fourths of its members are miners of bltiimlnniic coal, and bituminous ccal Is sold In ac tive competition with anthracite coal. The remaining workmen in the anthracite field either belong to no union whatever or do not belong to the Mlneworkers Union. " 'The present strike was declared by the Mlneworkers' Union May 10, 1902. Since that time many workmen not be longing to or not willing to follow that organization were working about the mines. From 7CO0 to 10,000 are now at work. Many more have wished to work, but have been prevented by a course of violence and Intimidation by the destruc tion or properties and the fear of death today by Secretary Hay. The presenta tion took place In the temporary White House, on Jackson Squire, and this wa3 probably the first occasion since the White House has been occupied as tho Presidential Mansion that the creden tials of an Ambassador or Minister have been received outside of lis door. Instead of calling at the State Depart ment first, which is the usual course, tho Ambassador proceeded directly to the temporary White House with, tho full staff of the Embassy, .In their diplomatic uniforms. Secretary Hay met him at this point and presented him to President Roosevelt in the parlor on the second floor of the house. The presentation was made In the usual form, with the im portant exception that the President, though progressing rapidly . toward re covery, heeded his physician's warning and remained seated, not attempting to stand on his wounded leg. The ceremony was brief, consisting in the presentation of tho new Ambassador by Secretary Hay, the delivery by the Ambassador of his credentials and a felicitous address by the Ambassador, exprerslvc. of the pleas ure It gave him to return to Washing ton, and an appropriate response from the President That was all of the cere mony, and when It was over Sir Michael, who Is a long-time friend of the Presi dent, their acquaintance dating back more than ten years, accepted Mr. Roosevelt's Invitation to be seated, and the two had a long personal chat .ine new Amoassador will tni nert or Knrlll.. 1 . . .

Operators' Proposition Expected to Prove Satisfactory to Miners. WASHINGTON, Oct 13. By authority of J. P. Morgan, who. with his partner, Robert Bacon, and Secretary Root, was In conference with President Roosevelt at the temporary White House tonight for an hour and a half, a statement was' given out by Secretary Cortelyou In which the presidents of the coal-carry ing roads and mine operators propose a commission of nve persons to adjust the differences and settle the coal strike in the anthracite coal fields of Pennsylvania. The proposition Is believed by the Ad ministration to be satisfactory to the miners, as it covers the proposition made by President Mitchell, of the United Mlneworkers' Union, with additional con ditions which it Is believed the miners will accept While no official statement was made at the White House after the" operators address was mado public by Secretary Cortelyou, the opinion was ex pressed that the way is now open for a complete eettlement of the strike and that the mines will soon be in operation. ine issuance of the statement followed a conference at the White House which ma au.nc oi ine tnings done to create this reign of terror! and every instance stated can be verified by reference to the officers cf the law. civil and military, in the anthracite regipns. This violence has i-uimuuLu ar.u Hieaaiiy increased, not withstanding repeated disavowals by Mi Mitchell, and It is clear that he either cannot or will not prevent It and that the rights of- the other workmen cannot be protected under the supremacy of the Mlneworkers Union. Vnjres Fair and Full. ' " 'Tho coal companies believe that the wages paid In the coal regions are fair and full, and all that the business" in' its normal condition has been able to stand if the capital Invested is to have any reasonable return. The profits have been small, several of the companies have be come bankrupt and have been reorgan ized several- times. Several have never paid dividends, and the dividends of the others have been a small return for the capital Invested: It is not however, the purpose of this statement to discuss this question. ' 'The undersigned are. not nor never have been unwilling to. submit all ques tions between them arid their workmen to any fair tribunal for decision. They are not willing to enter Into arbitration with the union of miners, a union com posed of men In a rival and competitive Interest, and they are not willing to make (Concluded on Pago 11.) now rank in thio order: Ger many, Russia, Mexico, Italy and Great Eritaln. with Austria-Hungary next, as Mr. Hengiemuller probably will present his credentials as Ambassador before the new representative from Fnnce arrives and Is presented.

In conferring this high mission to me, His Majesty has charged me to miintaln and strengthen the good relations which happily exist between Great Britain and the United States. "Sir, I have long had a profound ad miration for the people and' Institutions of the great country over which you so ably preside, and no task could he more congenial to me, or more In conformity with ray personal sentiments, than that of carrying out my sovereign's com mands.

When it Is understood that Portland's is the only clearing-house west of the M!r.rissippl River, with the single ex ception of that of San Francisco, thnt Is conducted on the New York plan, these figures have added significance. There Is no ground for just comparison with the Seattle record, to which reference is often made, because the Seattle clearings represent much business that is trans acted outside the banks (Postofflce busi ness, for example), and It settles its bal ances In checks that are passed through the clearing-house to swell the next,day's showing. Portland's clearings tell the same story that the New York clearings tell. They show the business of the banks in current commercial channels. And yet Seattle's bank clearings for the week ending October 9 showed a gain of but 3.6 per cent over the corresponding week In 1901, while Portland's gain was 42 per cent The number of freight cars handled at the yard3 of the Northern Pacific Term inal Company show a large increase in th.i volume of railroad traffic of Portland. By far the larger part of the railroad transportation of this city is handled by the Terminal Company, but there Is a considerable amount that is not all the O. R. & N. grain business, all the O. R. & N. am' Southern Pacific exclusively for Eait Pcrtlarfd, and all the Yamhill divi sion tariff at the Jefferson-street depot The Terminal Compahy'3 business in tho past nini months was 7925 cars greater than for the corresponding period In 1901, or a little less than 10 per cent The cor responding comparison for a year pre vious shows a gain of only 2063 cars, or loss than 3 per cent. The number of pas senger coaches handled was about half as great as. of freight cars. The following table shows the number of freight cars for the three years: 1900 January 8.259 February 7.661 March S.777 April 9.208 May 9.831 June 9,596 July 9,635 August 10.S1S September 11,305 October 11,622 November 9,997 December 9,219 190L 8.405 ' 7,936 9,794 9.753 9,903 9.430 9.722, 11.417 10.992 12.029 10.6S8 9.514 1902. 9.254 8.418 9.603 10.147 10.S02 10.6TO 11.9S3 12,1S;0 12.321 Totals 11(374 119.630 95.324 The railroads are crowded beyond their normal capacity, and still the shortage of freight-cars Is a material check to busi ness. It is estimated that 5000 additional cars would be absorbed in Portland's field in a week if they were available. In the first nine months of this year 74.109,000 feet of lumber was shipped from the Columbia River, four-fifths of which was sawed in Portland. In the same pe riod a considerably larger volume of lum ber went forward by rail to market from Oregon mills. Livestock movement ha3 been heavy, and it would be much greater if there were cars to handle It Grain Is moving freely, the producers doing the somewhat unusual thing of selling large quantities for cash early in the season. AH this prosperity Is due to general growth and development of the resources of the country. It Is not accounted for by special activity in one line. Good crops, good markets. Industry and frugal ity have brought the Pacific Northwest to the highest prosperity It has ever known, and Oregon and Portland are on the crest of the wave and sweeping for ward confidently- JL.
