t
INDIANAPOLIS. July 17. It tho voice
and influence of President Mitchell, of
the United Mlneworkers, shall prevail
with the members of Ms organization,
there will be no general strike. The
chances of such a step being taken are
now very remote. In his speech in the
convention this afternoon. Mr. Mitchell
advised strongly agilnst the strike and
urged that bituminous miners continue at
work and that a system of assessments
upon the members of the order, which he
outlined, be carried into effect as the best
means of affording aid and support to the
striking anthracite men in the East.
If his recommendations had been adopt
ed by the convention, this afternoon would
have settled the entire question for which
the convention was called, and an Imme
diate adjournment would have followed.
A motion to adopt the suggestions pro
voked a long debate, in which the general
sentiment was against the ordering of the
strike. The men from the anthracite re
gions finally made a r quest that they be
allowed to hold a caucus to determine
upon an expression of opinion as to what
they thought the convention should do,
and asked an adjournment of the conven
tion for this purpose. Their request was
granted and an adjournment taken. The
men who were in favor of a strike were
in a decided minority.
The convention began in Tomlinson s
Hall with an attendance of about 900 del
egates. Nearly every delegate "was the
possessor of several proxies, some holding
as high as Ave. The first session was not
of an executive character, and there were
many spectators present to witness the
proceedings of what had been heralded as
one of the most important gatherings of
labor men held in recent years.
President Mitchell, who was greeted with
cheers, called the convention toorder at
10 o'clock. Secretary Wilson then read the
call for the convention, and President
Mitchell called for the report of the com'
mlttee on credentials. The reading of this
by Michael McTaggart consumed much
time, as the report contained the name of
every delegate, with a statement of the
number of votes possessed by each man.
When the convention met In the after
noon, a motion was made and carrjed that
the convention go at once into executive
coenn -TnVin T. Ttppsp. of Iowa, moved
a reconsideration of the vote by which
this action was taken. He declared that
secret sessions were undesirable. The
speech of Mr. Reese, In support of his
motion, carried the day. The vote was
reconsidered and It was directed that the
meetings of the convention would be open
to the public
President Mitchell's Proposal.
Mr. Mitchell then made his address in
part as follows:
Gentlemen, In opening this convention,
I deem it my duty to make a few prelim
lnAry remarks, and to suggest. In .a series
of resolutions, the policy which would,
In my judgment, best serve the interests
of the striking anthracite mineworkers
and preserve unimpaired the integrity of
our entire organization. In determining
the grave and important question which
now confronts you namely, the advisa
bility of Inauguration of a National sus
pension of coal mining in defense of our
struggling fellow-workers in the anthra
cite fields of Pennsylvania It is Impera
tive that you should weigh with the great
est possible care the momentous problem
with which you have to deal. Neither
passion nor prejudice should influence
your action In any particular. I have been
so closely connected with the struggles
of the anthracite mlneworkers that It
grieves me, more than language can express,-
to say that ms views are not in
accord with the views expressed by some
in favor of a National suspension of coal
mining. I havo during all my life in the
labor movement declared that large con
tracts mutually made should during their
life be kept inviolate, and while at the
time it may appear to the supernciai od
server or to those immediately concerned
that advantage could be gained by set
ting agreements aside, such advantage, if
gained, would, in the very nature of
things, be temporary and would ultimate
ly result In disaster, because a disregard
of contracts strikes at the very vitals of
organized labor. The effect of such action
would be to destroy confidence, array in
open hostility to our cause all forces of
society and to crystallize public sentiment
In opposition to our movement.
"Sympathetic strikes have many adher
ents! and the efficacy of such methods
appeal strongly to those, who, being thor
oughly Involved in trouble, do not always
realize the result of their action upon the
public mind, but the labor movement
teaches lessons which should not be for
gotten today. As far as my knowledge
goes, I do not know of one solitary sym
pathetic strike of any magnitude which
has been successful. On the contrary, the
most conspicuous among the sympathetic
labor struggles have resulted in igno
minious and crushing defeat, not only
for the branch of industry originally In
volved, but also for the divisions partici
pating through sympathy. In my Judg
ment, the United Mlneworkers should not
repeat the mistakes, which, like mile
stones, mark the path trod by the toll
ing masses in their never-ceasing strug
w gle lor better and higher civilization.
"I am firm in my conviction that the
strike in the anthracite fields can be won
without repudiating our solemn contracts
with the bituminous operators, provided
the bituminous miners will rise to the
occasion and do their full duty by their
struggling fellow-workers; and with this
in mind, I desire to submit for your con
sideration the following specific resolu
tions: First That the National secretary
treasurer be authorized to immediately
appropriate $50,000 from the funds of the
National treasury and place it at the dis
posal of the officials of districts 1. 7 and 9.
"Second That all districts, subdistrlcts
and local unions be appealed to to do
nate from the surplus in their treasuries
as large amounts as they can afford.
"Third That an assessment of not less
than $1 per week be levied upon all mem
bers of local unions, the amount so levied
to be collected at the earliest possible
moment and forwarded to the. National
secretary-treasurer.
"Fourth That an assessment of 25 per
cent be levied upon all National, district
and subdlstrlct officers whose salaries
amount to $60 per month or more.
"Fifth That an appeal be made to all
American trades unions and to the gen
eral public for financial assistance to
carry the strike through to a successful
issue.
"Sixth That a committee be selected
from this -convention to draft an address
to the American people, setting in proper
form the policy of -the miners' organiza
tion and appealing to the people to bring
all possible pressure to bear upon the offi
cers and stockholders of the anthracite
coal-carrying railroads to compel them to
treat considerately the appeals of their
employes for arbitration."
On a motion to adopt the recommenda
tions of Mr. Mitchell, many speeches were
made, those in favor of the resolutions
being in the ratio of three to one com
pared to those against. "
An adjournment was then taken until 10
o'clock Friday" morning to enable the an
thracite men to hold a caucus.
Delegates in. Cnncns.
At a caucus of the Illinois delegation
held tonight it was determined to oppose
a general strike. It was also decided to
stand by the resolutions of President
Mitchell, with the exception of the one
declaring in favor of an assessment of $1
per week on members of subordinate
unions. This assessment should, the Illi
nois men declare, be made on a percent
age basis. Ohio tonight took action simi
lar to that of Illinois. The Iowa miners
decided to uphold the action of President
Mitchell. The action of the caucuses to
night makes a general strike practically
out of the question.
The meeting of the anthracite miners,
held after the convention adjourned, re
sulted in nothing but the conclusion that
there was no way that a general strike
could be forced, and that those members
of the anthracite districts who were anx
ious for a strike would be disappointed.
There was a long debate in the caucus
and finally a vote was decided upon, but
when it had been partially taken it was
seen that the result would be so strong
in upholding the resolutions of President
Mitchell that the vote was not concluded.
While there is an element among the an
thracite men that is greatly disappointed,
it is not likely that any fight will be at
tempted upon the floor of the convention.
President Mitchell said tonight: "I am
greatly pleased with the outcome of the
work done by the convention so far and I
have no doubt that the policy outlined in
my speech today will be carried out sub
stantially. Some minor changes may bo
made, but the policy, as a whole, will
be followed by the convention, I am certain."

MADAME DE GAST'S SUIT
Dismissed From Court, but Lends to
an Exciting Scene.
PARIS, July 17. The action brought by
Mme. Do Gast, a wealthy widow, well
known as an automobile driver, against
Maltre Barboux, the popular lawyer, for
producing in court a photograph of a pic
ture called "The Masked Woman," and
declaring that Mme. De Gast had served
as the model, has been dismissed, owing
to the omission of a legal formality.
During the hearing, Mme. De Gast was
allowed to address the court. Turning to
Maitre Barboux, she asked him if he re
tracted his assertion; and as he made no
reply, she continued: "He keeps silent be
cause he knows I am a widow. Coward!
Coward!" The scene caused great excite
ment. After the parties to the suit left tho
Palace de Justice, Prince De Sagain, who
had accompanied Mme. De Gast to court,
meeting Maltre Barboux on the street,
struck him, saying, "You arc an insulter
of women," at the came time handing his
card to Maltre Barboux, who replied:
"Very well, you shall hear frccn me."

Sagain, but shall, prosecute him for as
sault." Chinese Accept Terms.

DULLER CONTROVERSY.
War Ofllce Declines to Publish More
Papers.
LONDON, July 17. The Buller contro
versy was again raised by Sir Edward
Grev Liberal, in the House of" Commons
today. Sir Edward charged the War Of
fice officials with acting unfairly toward
General Buller, and demanded the publi
cation of further papers. The War Sec
retary, Mr. Brodrlck, opposed further pub
lications, which, he declared, could not
relieve General Uuller of the responsibility
of such mistakes as the abandonment of
the guns at Colenso and the proposals to
surrender Ludysmlth. which, if they had
been listened to, woukl have produced a
disaster for which there was no parallel
in British history. In regard to those pro
posals, continued Mr. Brodrick, when Gen
eral Buller sounded his note of despair
to General White, he had a hellogram In
his pocket, received a fortnight before,
s-tylng that General White had provisions
for 70 days, and could defend Ladysmlth
while the food lasted. General Buller's
retention, after Colenso and Splon 'Kop,
was inevitable under the circumstances,
and his appointment to command at Al
dershot was simply a resumption of his
6rmer command. General Buller was a
good "peace commander."
Later Sir Edward Grey propqsed a vote
of censure of the government for ita
treatment of General Buller. which was
defeated by 236 ayes to 93 noes, after much
speechmaklng.
Simultaneously the War Office was being
attacked in the House of Lords, where
Lord Monkswell (Liberal) brought up the
scathing allegations contained in the re
port of the committee on military educa
tion, and urged the immediate appoint
mont of an Inspector-General of Army
Education. Lord Raglan, Under-Secretary
for War, and Lord Lansdowne. the Foreign
Secretary, defended the War Office, saying
that a new scheme for education, contain
ing sweeping changes, was In process of
being drawn up, which statement satisfied
Lord Monkswell and his supporters, and
the motion was withdrawn."
CAPTAIN'S COURAGE FAILS.
Swedish Officer Challenges nn Amer
ican to n. Dnel, but Uncles Out.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 17. A, great
sensation has been caused In military cir
cles here by the conduct of Captain Arvld
Wester, who, after challenging an Ameri
can, William Casper, to fight a duel, failed
to appear at the spot selected for the en
counter. The trouble arose at a perform
ance last night in the Grand Arena Pal
ace. Wester, who was in the full uniform
of a Captain on the general staff, and
wearing decorations, disturbed the seance
of a mind-reader. Casper, who Is tho
'manager of the establishment, remon
strated with the Captain and demanded
an apology. This Wester refused, and
Casper said the officer's conduct was un
gentlemanly and disgraceful. The Captain
then challenged the American, who ac
cepted and repaired to the meeting place
at 5 o'clock this morning with his seconds,
including the secretary of the United
States Legation (John S. Mulr). Wester,
who was a war correspondent in Cuba
and South Africa, failed to appear, and
as a consequence will undoubtedly be
forced to retire from the army. Casper
has been the recipient of many congratu
lations. Captain Wester was the military attache
of the legation of Sweden and Norway at
Washington at the time of the outbreak
T3f the war between the United States and
Spain. He went through that war, as he
did the war between Turkey and Greece.
He was attached to General Shatter's
headquarters, as a foreign guest.
THE KING IMPROVES.

Coronation.
LONDON. July 17. The reports regard
ing King Edward's health continue to be
most satisfactory. He will remain on the
royal yacht off Cowes, Isle of Wight, until
August 8, and wlil return to the roadstead
after the coronation.
It has been definitely decided that the
British fleet will reassemble off Portsmouth
for the coronation review. The Japanese
squadron has been instructed to return
there, and it is understood that other for
eign countries will also be represented.
Since his removal to Cowes, the progress
of the King has been so rapid that hl3
physicians have ordered a more liberal

The date of the next review, which was
erroneously reported to havo been fixed
for Auguct 11, will depend upon tho con
dition of His Majesty's health, and the
effect of the coronation ceremonies upon
his general condition. It has been decided
that no special missions shall be Invited
to the coronation. Foreign nations will
bo represented at Westminster Abbey dur

WASHINGTON, July 17. The first of

to Cuba, on this subject, and also has

ground that this is a. purely personal mat
ter, and that he is therefore not open to
official criticism; that he Jiad a right to
say anything he pleased in a personal let
ter to his wife, and no one had a right to
question her respecting the publication.
Thus It Is gathered that the General does
not either admit or deny the accuracy of
the quotation.
As the matter has been formally called
to Mr. Squlers attention by the Cuban
Government, it is expected that this reply
from General Bragg will be sent to the
President, who appointed him, and who
must decide his fate.

liny Not Restore Campanile.
NEW YORK. July 17. Interviews with
leading French architects gathered by
tho Paris correspondent of the Herald
express in general the belief that no
steps should be taken to restore the col
lapsed campanile of Venice. In connec
tion with estimates by New York archi
tects that the work can be carried out
for Jl.200,000, the French builders are
unanimous in the belief that such a sum
will not suffice unless the famous tower
Is built on modern lines by the use of
steel.

VIENNA, July 17. The newspapers of
Vienna report the occurrence of trouble In

Bas Ra. The warriors then surprised and

provincial of the Dominicans In the Phil
ippines, who Is staying here, when In
formed by the correspondent of the Asso

the subject of the friars and their lands,
expressed satisfaction at the acceptance
of the first proposal of Cardinal Rampolla,
tho papal secretary of state, that the
matter be discussed at Manila between
the apostolic delegate and the Governor
In Manila. When asked what was likely
to be the outcome, Father Paya said:
"It is more Important to know what will
be the outcome of tho matters between
the Americans and Filipinos. Although
the war Is almost over and the Filipinos
now profesi friendship for the Americans,
they In reality dislike them Just as they
dlsllked the Spaniards. The Filipinos say
they did not struggle against Spain to
calmly surrender their independence."
Father Paya concluded with declaring
that it was not truo that the people were
against the friars. The latter, ha fur

answer has reached Judge Taft, though,
in a personal letter to Cardinal Rampolla,
Judge Taft said: "As the document from
Secretary Root Is conclusive, and as I
wish to leave Rome as soon as possible, I
beg your eminence to secure me and the
gentlemen accompanying me a farewell

Lattimer introduced him to a Mr. Tut
hill. Mr. Lattimer was placed on the
bed, Tuthill assisting In the work, and
then, according to witness, Tuthill said
to Mrs. Lattimer: "Don't worry; he is
all right."
Dr. Meagher, house surgeon at the hos
pital whcre Lattimer died.- created a sen
sation when he said on the stand that
the dying '"man exclaimed, as he lay in
bed on the third day: "The coward shot
me In bed."
Miss Christine Russell, a nurse, testi
fied that Lattimer said: "A coward shot
me in cold blood." Once when Lattl
mer's brother spoke of the search for
the burglars, the wounded man said:
"No burglar ever shot me."
Mary L. Caughman, another nurse,
said she heard Lattimer say he knew the
man who shot him, and that he would
tell hl3 name when he got well.
Miss Fannie Lattimer, a sister, swore
that on one occasion she had seen Tut
hill and Mrs. Lattimer meet on a street
corner, and had telegraphed this fact, to
Mr. Lattimer. She said that when her
brother reached the home, he found Tut
hill there. There were words between
the two men, and then a long corre
spondence, which gradually ceased.
Police Captain Reynolds testified that,
after a minute examination of the doors,
windows and shutters of the Lattimer
house, h,e could not find the slightest
evldonce of a forced entrance.
