ON TO THE PACIFIC
Grand Trunk to Build -Long
Railroad.
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS AT ONCE.
Llae "Will Be First Class In All Re
spects, and Will Cost About $75,
000,000 T6 Be Completed In
Five Years.---.
MONTREAL. Xov. 23. Canada is to
ttavev a second transcontinental railway.
Extending from ocean to ocean. The an
nouncement was made today by Charles
M. Hays, second-vice-president and gen-
bboI manager of the Grand Trunk Rail-n
roaa. uonscruction win De uegun as soon
as necessary legislation can be obtained
from the Canadian Parliament The
Grand Trunk will be behind the new road
und -will operate it, but, as in the case
of the Grand Trunk lines west of the
Detroit "River, it will be constructed
under a separate corporate name, the
Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad Company.
The new line, according .to Mr. Hays'
statement, will be of about 3000 miles,
and the construction, Including .equip
ment, stations, bridges, ships and other
facilities, will involve an expenditure of
175,000,000 to 5100,000,000. According to the
present arrangement, the new system will
run through that portion of Northern
Ontario known as New Ontario, starting
from North Bay or Gravenhurst, Ont,
and extending through Manitoba, the
Northwest Territories and British Colum
bia to "Butte Inlet or Port Simpson. B. C,
Bs later may be determined upon. The
line will be one of the most modern and
up-to-date, having in view especially low
grades, long tangents, steel bridges and
heavy rails, as well as ample station
facilities and equipment for the handling
of freight and passenger traffic
"No one," said Mr. Hays, "who has
been studying the wonderful developments
that have taken place in the Northwest
during the last few years can fail to
"be deeply impressed with the growth of
that extensive and rich territory, and our
directors' feel that, in view of the ap
parent need of additional railway facili
ties and in order to guarantee to the pres
ent Grand Trunk system direct connec
tion with that very important and grow
ing section of Canada, the only wise pol
icy is to take active steps towards this
extension."
The building of this transcontinental
route has been under consideration by the
Grand Trunk directorate for some time,
but it was only during 'Mr. Hays' recent
visit to England that it was decided to
carry out the project at as early a date
as possible.
Mr. Hays added that the line would
probably be in full operation within five
years and that steamship lines on the
Pacific would come as a necessary ad
junct. CLEARED THE PITTSBURG YARDS.
50,000 Cars of Freight Handled in
One Day.
PITTSBURG, Nov. 23. After 36 hours
.of the most strenuous activity on the part
of the greatly augmented forces of men
and locomotives, the Pennss-lvania Rail
road system has made a comparative
cleaning-up of its congested terminals.
The car -movement breaks an records of
a similar kind. It is estimated that 50,
000 cars were moed.in and ut of Pitts
burg. In five hours 85 trains werp started
for Altoona by the Pennsylvania, 20 per
cent heavier than" the record.
Tonight the Pennsylvania Railroad yards
at Twenty-eighth and at Pltcalrn are
freer from obstructions than at any time
within five months, but the receipts of
cars destined for Pittsburg shippers "will
fill them up before tomorrow is passed.
The cars will he moved In from the out
lying sidetracks which, for 30 miles along
levery approach to the city, have been
stagnated with cars laden with all man
ner of crude products.
In the yards of the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie and Baltimore & Ohio also good
work was accomplished, and tonight their
terminals arc comparatively close to nor
mal . conditions. Before 6 o'clock eight
trainmen had been taken to the hospital
injured at various points.

his office in the Western Union building.
To the minds of those conversant with
recent developments, the World- will add,
it seemed to Indicate that the negotia
tions pending between August Belmont,
representing the , Interborough Rapid
Transit Company, and Mr. Gould, as
president of the Manhattan Railroad Com
pany, for a lease of the "L" system on
the basis -or .7 per cent guaranteed dlvi
dend, were approaching a termination. It
is understood that official statement,
either confirmatory of the lease or an
nouncing that the negotiations are at an
end, will be made, within a few hours.
Mr. Gould would riot talk to reporters.

The possibility of the adoption by the

and the reports current that Mexico is
about to abandon the silver standard,
have greatly weakened the Indian and
Asiatic silver market. Large quantities of
Mexico silver are coming here f-om China,
as it is believed that much gold Is being
uutuiiiieu nere on account of Govern
ment expenditures. The fact Is that Amer

MILES' SHIP FLOATED.
Spanish Vessel Asked Salvage,
Which Was Declined.
MANILA, ov. 23. The United States
transport Ingalls, with Generals Miles and
party on board, which struck on a reef
while entering the harbor of Legaspl,
Saturday, floated at high tide the same
day. and will arrive here next Monday.
The vessel struck on a cefral reef while
going at a speed of nine knots. The
shock raised the. ship two feet along Its
entire length. Captain Brugiero has ex
plained that he was trying to save 20
minutes by running through the chartered
channel between the reefs In the center
of the Gulf of'Albay, In a straight line
for Legaspl, Instead of following the
usual channel. A Spanish vessel, which
was asked to give assistance, asked $100,000

Mexican as salvage, but these terms were
declined. Captain Burgiero pumped out
the vessel's water ballast, and she floated
without aid. It is believed that the In
galls is undamaged.
Constabulary Force Increased.
MANILA, .Nov. 23. The Government
has Increased the constabulary force in
the Island of Leyte, and has ordered a
careful investigation of the condition and
general situation there. The law making
highway robbery a capital crime has been
translated in the various dialects of the
islands, and the constabulary is circulat
ing copies of the law throughout the dis
trict Infected by ladronlsm. The Govern
ment Is desirous of warning the bandits
before carrying out the new law.
, Cholera in Moro Towns.
-MANILA, Nov. 23. The cholera is
spreading among the Moro towns on the
west coast of Mindanao, and there is
much destitution among the people.
Quarantine Increases the- sufferings by

great excitement in financial and busi
ness circles. The premium hos been rising
all week, and has reached 17L It is gen

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
r
(Continued from First Page.
related to the dairying Interest has pros
pered. Many causes have combined to
bring about this activity In dairying. The
active market for dairy products not yet
adequately supplied has, of course, been
the basl3 of It, for nothing can be done In
any line without a market The care
ful Instruction In methods by the State
Agricultural College has been an import
ant factor. Another tremendous promot
ing cause has been the helpful attitude of
the Southern Pacific Company. Mr.
Markham, traffic agent of the company
In this, fleld for several years, was an
enthusiast in dairy matters, and, with
the approval of his superior officers at
San Francisco, he put the whole facilities
of the Willamette Valley Unes at the dis
posal of the dairymen.- Rates. upon dairy
stock, creamery supplies and upon the
finished product were established upon a
very low basis, and an immediate advance
in the business was the consequence. Mr.
Markham has since left this field, but the
movement which he inaugurated has been
intelligently and diligently followed up by
Messrs. Miller and Coman, who in turn
succeeded him. The Introduction of the
condensory at Forest Grove, of which I
spoke in a former letter in this series, is
an Important advance; and it is the gen
eral opinion that in a sense dairying in
Western Oregon has but Just begun.
There is almost no limit to Its possibili
ties, ana xne ume muse surely come
when there will be 10 cows in the Valley
to every one at this time.
Oregon enjoys a great advantage in the
almost uniform good health of its cat
tle. In part this Is due to the fine climate,
which permits and encourages an 'almost
continuous out-of-doors habit partly to
the wholesome feeds of the country. But
there is another reason, and one highly
creditable to cattle-owners, namely, their
willingness, and even eagerness, to en
force the rule which consigns diseased an
lmals to Immediate destruction. Oregon
was the first among the states to enact a
strict animal inspection law, and in the
15 or more years since it has been on our
statute books there has been no dlsposl
tlon to evade Jts very rigid and very
wholesome provisions. In this matter, as
in many others connected with the stock
industry of the country, the late W. S.
Ladd set a fine example to the country.
His fine dairy herd of Imported blooded
stock, assembled at his model farm, near
Portland, at a cost of approximately $40,
000, was found by the inspector, about 15
years ago, Infected with bovine tubercu
losis. It was a hard blow to a man whose
interest and pride as well as his money
were deeply involved. But there was not
one moment's hesitation. "Let the rule be
enforced strictly," said -Mr. Ladd and a'
tragedy -followed, for the whole herd was
slaughtered and cremated. While this, in
the nature of things, was the most no
table case, many other, and smaller own
ers exhibited equal spirit and the result
is that Oregon has escaped the Infections
which have so damaged the cattle indus
try elsewhere. The dairy products of Ore
gon are as wholesome as a careful system
of inspection, supported by public senti
ment including the sentiment of herd-
owners themselves, can make them; and
one may drink a glass of milk or butter
his hot cakes without fear, of dire conse
quences. A. H.

SAN JOSE, Costa Rica. Nov.. 23. Gen
eral Vargas Sajitos, the military director
of the Colombian revolution, has sVt the
following message to General Herrera,
on the occasion of the signature of the
treaty of peace at Panama:
"Let us congratulate ourselves. I have
full confidence In you. May this solemn
act establish a true republic"
In an interview General Santos said:
"My hopes have been realized regarding
the termination of the war. If the spl
emn treaties insure the rights of the Lib
erals as citizens of my country, I am sat-
lsfled that the hard lesson that has been
received by the Liberals and the' Con
servatives In the fighting of the past 37
months will never be forgotten. We are
seeking government offices, but only want
the due representation of our party In
Congress and in the municipalities, and a
respect for private property. There is a
need of the organizing of a fair Judicial
power and to make the liberty of the
press effective. We want to have the
right to educate our children according
to our wishes, and we want honesty in
the public treasury, which so far has been
at the disposal of privileged families, re
sulting In the reduction of the majority
of the people to poverty. When I have
received a copy of the peace treaty I shall
decide as to my future movements. I
haVe received many, congratulatory tele
grams." General Vargas Santos shows remark
able energy, considering his advanced age
of 72 years.
LIKES THE UNITED STATES.
But Venezuelan Reprobates Britain
and Germany.
CARACAS, Nov. 23. Discussing Venezu
ela's foreign relations, Dr. Lopez Baralt
Minister of the Interior, said:
"Toward the United States Venezuela
entertains the kindliest fpellngs of friend
ship, and she remembers with gratitude
the great services of the great Republic
In the past Venezuela Is determined, so
far as she is concerned, that nothing
shall occur to disturb in the slightest de
gree the existing understanding with the
American Legation and the friendly rela
tions between the two countries. Venezu
ela has nothing to complain of regarding
the way In which the various Important
questions have been treated, and, except
forborne pending questions, her foreign
relations have been of a cordial charac
ter. "The English government at Trinidad
published a few days ago an official de
cree, declaring the blockade of the Orinoco
null and void. If there is any place where
the blockade Is effective it is the Orinoco,
for, besides the land defenses, we have
maintained several gunboats, which have
efficiently performed there all the duties
appertaining to a blockade.
"The English, too, are inconsistent, for,
while one Journal at Trinidad published
the decree declaring the blockade to be
Ineffective, the Mirror, another publica
tion, insists that Venezuela Is loyally ful
filling her international duty In this re
spect. The Brltisn oloop-of-war Fantome
entered the Orinoco without permission,
and President Castro has directed a pro
test against this Infringement on Venezu
elan sovereignty. It has been, recognized
that the principal foreign ships shall ask
permission to enter the mouth of the
river, and we cannot understand the dis
regard of this rule. A similar protest has
been sent regarding the action of the Ger
man warship Panther, which also entered
the Orinoco yrithout permission.
"Another act which has provoked aston
ishment was the hoisting of the British
flag on the Island of Patos. Venezuela's
right to this island cannotbequestlOned.
Geographically, historfcally and political
ly, -It Is Venezuelan territory. With .the
Island of Trinidad, it is recognized as
forming, part of the old Spanish colony
by the treaty of Amiens. -Trinidad was
ceded to Great Britain bill 3?aYos Island"
remained, and was recognized as an, in
tegral part of Venezuela. THe Brl'tish
claim to Patos Island was. based on the
act of the -former Spanish" Governor,
which was not recognized by Spain. If
further evidences of Venezuela's rights
were needed, tne fact that the island Is
situated scarcely three miles from the
Venezuelan mainland, while It is 10 miles
from Trinidad, is sufficient The Impreg
nability of Venezuela's position is shown
by the facility with which we have re
piled to every argument in support of the
British contention advanced by the Min
ister of that country. Patos Island is
Venezuelan, and must remain so."
Regarding the relations between Ven
ezuela and Germany, the Minister said:
"Germany has never given Venezuela
any Intimation of its purpose to enforce
the collection of its pending claims. Pres
ident Castro has no intention of evading
a Just obligation contracted by the gov
ernment hut, on the contrary, will meet
It loyally. At the same time, he cannot
be expected to permit any actlon'lnfrlng
ing the rights and dignity of the govern
ernment" ADMIRAL CASEY'S PART.
Gave the Colombians a Speech and
Advised Them to Be Good.
PANAMA, Nov. 23. The Star and Her
ald says that at the conference on Thurs
day on the Wisconsin, a distinguished
son of Uncle Sam, Rear-Admiral Silas
Casey, actftd as a mediator and peacemak
er, which conduct, it remarks, reflects
great credit on a nation whosd motives
for doing ' good are too frequently dis
paraged. Admiral Casey, In a brilliant
speech, extended to the negotiators hla
heartfelt good wishes, highly praising
them for their judgment and patriotism
and their arrangement of such a delicate
matter.
General Cobas, Chief of Minister Per
donro's staff, who spoke in English, made
an eloquent reply to Jhis speech, and in
the name of Colombia thanked the gal
lant Admiral for the hospitality and at
tention the negotiators had received on
board his flagship, and also for his gen
erous intervention In the arrangement to
bring about peace In that zone of Colom
bian territory'. It is said that the impas
sioned, patriotic utterances of General
Cobas brought tears to the eyes of Gen
eral Herrera. Troops already areMelng
sent away. Nearly 1000 men will leave to
night for Barranquilla. As soon as the
revolutionary gunboat Padllla arrives here
the troops In the Cacau Province will be
sent to Buena Ventura, on the Bay of
Choco.
General Herrera and his secretaries
have arrived at Agua Dulce, accompanied
by a government commissioner, bringing
the news of the conclusion of peace to the
gunboat Bogota, 1 order to prevent a
fight with he Padllla, should they meet.
General Salazar, Governor of Panama,
has set all the political prisoners at lib
erty. The commander of the British cruiser
Phaeton offered General Salazar to com
municate the news of the treaty of peace
to Captain Marmaduke, the commander of
the Bogota. The offer was accepted and
the Phaeton sailed last night
Saloon Was Dynamited.
MAHANOY CITY, Pa Nov. 23.-i-The
most destructive dynamiting outrage that
,has occurred in the coal regions since the
strike began was perpetrated' here at 0
o'clock this morning. Dynamite with fuso
attached was placed on the bar of the
saloon of Christopher Portland. The
front part of the building was blown
across the street the adjoining buildings
on either side were wrecked, and windows
In every house in the square were broken.
Portland and his family, who were asleep
on the third floor, escaped without serious
injury. Portland's two sons are nonunion
men, and worked during the -strike.
STEEL TRUST IN AUSTRIA
Labor in Bad Way and Public Worlc
Will Be Started.
VIENNA, Nov. After several
months' negotiations, the Austrian and
Hungarian Iron and steel industries have
succeeded in forming a gigantic combi
nation comprising 23 separate establish
ments, the capital of which aggregates
570,000,000. The new organization is a
cartel or combination under .which each
establishment is worked separately,
though all are supervised by a cantral
board which regulates the output and
fixes prices. This combine includes prac
tically every Important iron and steel
interest in the dual monarchy, such as
the production of raw Iron, bars, plates,
nails and wire. The agreement will be
effective for 10 years, expiring June 13,
1912. The Austrian anS Hungarian cartels
are organized separately but worked Joint
ly. The Austrian combination has IS mem
bers and the Hungarian five.
. It Is anticipated that this organization
will result in great "improvement in the
industrial situation, which just now is
exceedingly unsatisfactory, particularly
in motive ard wagon work branches.
Of 20,000 machinists in Vienna, SOOO are
reported to have been discharged re
cently. The wagon and locomotive works
In other parts of the country are em
ploying only about half the regular force,
and one result of these conditions Is a
large increase in emigration, particularly
from the iron districts of Bohemia,
whence hundreds of persons have lately
gone to Canada, Mexico and America. The
general situation Is likely to Improve
shortly, when extensive public works, in
cluding the construction of canals and
railroa"d bridges, will be begun. These
public works In Austria will, it Is esti
mated, cost $75,000,000, and in Hungary
$37,700,000.
FOREIGN STOCK EXCHANGES.
German Bourse Stogrnnnt Iron Man
ufacturers Organize.
BERLIN, Nov. 23. Under the influence
of foreign exchanges the business in the
bourse here last week was stagnant, but
quotations In most departments were bet
ter maintained than on the non-German
exchanges. The weakest department was
that of domestic loans, which, being
heavily sold, lost more "ground than
usual. Some operators claimed that the
selling of German 3s proceeded from the
United States, but this assertion is dis
credited, American holdings in these
stocks being too Insignificant- The sit
uation on Wall street however, is re
garded as one of the chief causes of the
drop, since New York continues to offer
fbllls for discount here In large amounts,
una u is oenevea mat tne American ae
mand for German money will Increase
towards the end of the year, resulting
In higher money here. Hence the ten
dency to sell domestic loans. Foreign
government securities have been quite
neglected and most industrials were also
a trifle less, but coal shares have im
proved upon the arrival of cold weather
and thj increased production of the mines.
Iron shares were weak upon the failure
to renew the Sfegen pig-iron syndicate,
but quotations, generally were fairly main
tained. A meeting was held at Cologne
this week of all the German bar iron
manufacturers, and a committee was
elected to organize a common selling
agency for home and abroad.
Better Feeling: in London.
LONDON, Nov. 23. The situation on
the stock exchange closed last week a
trifle .more hopeful than It began, having
weath'cred an uncomfortable period of de
pression in Americans and Kaffirs, par
ticularly in the latter. Silver continues to
achieve lower records In Its price as a
result, it Is saldof a determined bear

uncertainty regarding the future of the
white metal is accentuated by reports in.
circulation that a gold standard will be
adopted by the Straits Settlements, and
that China Is likely to ship large quan
tities of silver to meet the' lnterest on
her war Indemnity. vr.r
The almost total failure" of- the Colonial
loans, those of Natal and-British Colum
bia, had a depressing effect on consols
and home rails also closed almost uni

ROBBED AND MURDERED.
Second Crime of the Kind in Cincin
nati Factory.
CINCINNATI, 67" Nov. 23.-Edward
Saatkamp, accountant and acting super
intendent of the Ross-Moyer Machinery
Tool Company, was killed today at the
factory here. His body was found to
night In a pool of blood in the counting
room, and every indication points to a
struggle, but no clew to the- deed can be
found. The only other person known to
be about the building was the colored
janitor, and the most vigorous "sweating"
has failed to hold him. Last June John
Slefert, another employe, was found mur
dered in the engine-room of the same fac
tory, and the mystery of that deed has
never been solved. Both victims were
robbed.
No Trace of Itoclc Island Robbers.
DAVENPORT, la.. Nov. 23. It looks
tonight as though the Rock Island train
robbers, who blew open the safe of the
train held up. Just outside the city, Satur-
aay morning, have, made good their
escape. A sensation was created today by
the report that the bandits had been sur
rounded in a corn field near Buchanan.
A special train, with a Sheriff's posse on
board, was made up here and started for
Buchanan. Word was received that the
men had been captured before the train
arrived, but the prisoners proved to be a
gang of hoboes and not the men wanted.

CHEBOYGAN, Mich., Nov. 23. Eva
Fetherstone, 16 years -old, was shot in
the back today, probably fatally, by one
of a party of five riotous fellows who
passed her in a wagon. John RIordan,

KRUPP'S DELICATE HEALTH.
Had Loner Suffered More About His
Lnrjfe Affairs.
BERLIN, Nov. 23. The first assumption
that Herr. Krupp, the great gunmaker,
whose death was recorded yesterday,
committed-suicide Is yielding to precise
and abundant testimony to the contrary.
Professor Binswanger, a physician of the
highest reputation, was in the apartment
adjoining Herr Krupp's sleeping-room
when he was stricken on Saturday morn
ing, and Dr. Pahl. Herr Krupp's family
doctor, also was in the house. They sum
moned several other physicians, and it is
regarded as being beyond belief that all
of them should have connived at a con
cealment of the cause of death, which they
ascribe to a stroke of apoplexy, induced,
they add, unofficially, by mental excite
ment from which Herr Krupp was suf
fering. '
Herr Krupp's medical history for sev
eral years past indicates that he was in
delicate health. He was asthmatic; had
a weak heart, and was subject to faint
ing spells. He fell to the ground uncon
scious while In Genoa several years ago,
and again while at dinner at a hotel here
18 months ago. He had been warned to
avoid over-fatigue and worry. He was at
Hamburg Thursday last, and at the Ham
burger Hof It was observed that he was
in a highly nervous condition, and scarce
ly in control of himself. His condition ac
coqntedfor the 'presence of two physi
cians. Jn the housGj at the time of his
death," one of them being Professor Bin
swanger. Mrs. Krupp was sent for from Jena.
She is suffering from a nervous malady,
but was brought to Essen In a special
train, arriving there this morning. The
funeral has been fixed for Wednesday.
Chancellor Von Bulow, all the Ministers
and a great number of -other officials, fol
lowing the example of the Emperor, have
telegraphed their condolences to the
widowi
Herr Krupp leaves two daughters, who
are at school, one named Barbara, aged
17, and the second named Bertha, 15 years
old.
Herr Krupp's favorite study was to
think out schemes for improving the well
being of the lower classes, which he ap
plied practically to what are called "labor
colonies." He assented seemingly to most
socialistic principles, except that he held
tight to the wage system, averring that
the wage-earners were "hot yet sufficiently
developed or self-controlled to regulate
for themselves a just system, of division
of profits. It is mentioned as an odd
chance that a man who applied social re
form ideas in so extensive a way should
have been crushed by a social democrdtic
newspaper, which regarded his measures
to ameliorate the condition of laborers
as not touching the question of economic
Injustice.
Herr Krupp's father developed the sys
tem of modern dwellings for the working
man as matter of expediency, and Herr
Krupp himself appears to have developed
them from conviction, and in accordance
with his Ideals. He owned 5G09 dwellings,
each, to whatever group it belonged, be
ing constructed with variations In the
architecture to avoid monotony. Each
house had a front yard, In which were
bits of ornamental gardening; the outsjdo
coloring and the Interior decoration gave
a certain aesthetic unity, while there was
plenty of space and light. Herr Krupp
had also a variety of Institutions, some of
them rather singular, such as "Bachelor
Homes" and "Widowers' Retreat." Be
sides convalescent hospitals and orphan
ages, he had a pension, fund for his em
ployes, amounting to $4,123,000. He con
tributed last year, as requested by law.
$372,000 to the National Insurance Fund,
and gave voluntarily $4,OSO,000 to other in
surance funds.
Notwithstanding his benevolent inter
ests, he was autocratic In the manage
ment of his concerns. He was almost un
known by sight to his workmen, and rare-,
ly visited the works, or even his offices.
He spent several months every year on
the Island of Capri, and managed his gun
works, rolling mills, Iron mines and ship
yards by letters and telegrams. .
Unlike his father. Herr' Krupp took no
interest in the technical side of his busi
ness, yet In 15 years he more than doubled
the fortune which he Inherited. Since
their foundation, the Essen factories have
turned out 41,000 pieces of artillery. Herr
Krupp resented being called "Thd Can
non King," and he said that hallf of all
the output of his works was civilizing
products, such bb railway and merchant
ship material and structural steel.

A TEN PER CENT RAISE

sociated in business with L. H. Watkins.
one of the strike commissioners, although
Mr. Watkins is not connected with the
West End Coal Company, or any other
anthracite coal concern.
The Independent operators will take a
firm stand for some recognition in the
matter of a settlement with the miners.
It is authoritatively stated they willnot
assume the. attitude of belligerents when
the committee meets the coal .qperatois,
nor will they appear as supplicants. The
Independents feel that if an increase In
wages la agreed upon, they will want
some concession from the coal-carrying
railroads In order to compensate them
for granting an Increase to the
.miners. The independent coal com
panies, It is understood, do not sell
their product directly to the con--sumer.
They turn It over to the coal
carrying railroads, who give the Inde
pendent concerns, generally speaking. 65
cents on every dollar, retaining 35 cents
for hauling and selling the coal. The in
dependents say that if wages are in
creased the large companies have it with
in their power to increase the price of
coal to the consumer or maintain the
present high price at the mines, which
was fixed by some companies after the
strike In order to compensate them for
the damage entailed during the suspen
sion. The independents say they must
take what the companies give, them 65
cents on $1 but will make an effort to
have It Increased to 70 or 75 cents on 51.
The Independents say they could com
plicate matters if they cared to, but feel
it would not be fair to the public or
themselves to do so. While It has not
been officially stated. It Is understood
that whatever agreement Is submitted to
the strike commission for approval must
first have the approval of all the compan
ies. If the Independent companies were
disposed to disagree on a settlement made
between the large companies and the min
ers. It would make matters Interesting. A
common remark heard in the anthracite
regions is "that no matter what the
big companies do, the smaller concerns
will have to go along." The Independents
do not see it in that light. But the large
companies have been gradually absorbing
the Independent companies, and in the
case of several of those small operators
It Is only a question of time when the
large companies will have control of all
of them.
There has as yet been no definite time
set for the holding of the conferences be
tween representatives of the large com
panies and the mineworkers. Attorneys
and other persons representing the big
companies have gone to New York and
Philadelphia for Instructions and author
ity to act. Nothing will be done here
until they return clothed with the power
to negotiate a settlement Clarence S.
Darrow, leading counsel for the Miners'
Union, was in New York today on pri
vate business. It Is said.
What Miners May Get.
While nothing' has been agreed upon, the
best forecast that can be made at this
time Is that the men will receive In the
neighborhood of a 10 per cent Increase,
a nine-hour day, the weighing of coal to
be adjusted aa It best can, and agree
ments between the men and the company
by whom they are employed. The agree
ments, it is expectd, will run for a term
of two or three years, from November 1.
The four particular demands of the min
ers are for a 20 per cent Increase, an
eight-hour day, weighing of coal wherever
practicable by the ton and yearly trade
agreements'.,
A representative of the miners said to
day that it is possible the men employed
by each company will have a committee
or organization to deal with the company
officials, the men to have the privilege of
calling into the conference for advice the
National president of the union in case
of disputes. If this scheme Is not adopted
then another which will have the collec
tive bargain idea, it Is believed, will be
agreed upon.
The report that the commission was the
first to suggest that the opposing forces
get together on the outside Is true. The
suggestion was made to leading counsel
on each side, and Mr. MacVeagh went to
New York and received the consent of the
-officials there. The commission saw that
.the proceedings would be Interminable,
and, if possible, it would be better to have
them make another effort to settle their
differences without the commission com
pelling them to take something which
would not satisfy either party. In the
meantime, the commissioners will go
ahead and study the situation from facts
and figures to be presented just as they
have been doing.
The sub-committee did not meet today.
Commissioner Clark, who Is now presi
dent of the Order of Railway Conductors,
attended the regular meeting of the dis
trict organization of the order here. A
representative of one of the smaller com
panies, well versed to speak In the pres
ent situation, eald today:
"The independent operator is in an un
fortunate position. Every time the large
companies and the union get Into a con
flict the smaller concerns, whose men as
a rule have no grievances, are drawn into
It and the independent company must
share the burden, of the battle."
"While the individual companies are not
willing to do bo, many of them felt it
"would be better to make terms with the
Unfted Mineworkers Af America and live
In peace than to have their business dis
turbed every time the others -get intp a
quarrel, which always draws them into
it. It would be a matter of self-preservation."

What CORsampfien
Means To-day,
o
Thee was a time when
that word consumption struck
terror to the stoutest heart. It
need not do so now. In the
light of present knowledge i
consumption is always to be
considered hopefully.
We all know that when
the little consumption germs
have once gained a foothold
in the lung tissue there is no
one remedy which will di
rectly destroy them or drive
them out. The only thing
that will eventually dislodge
them is an abundant supply
of rich blood throughout the
whole body and particularly
in the lungs. This will build
up healthy tissue in which
the germs cannot live.
To get this needed supply
of good blood, and keep it
pure, there are many things
to do and you must try to do
them all. Live all day in the
sunshine and air. Sleep all
night in a room that gets plen
ty of both. Keep warm. Don't
use up one extra ounce of
energy. Rest a great deal.
Learn how to breathe. And
above all take regular, abund
ant nourishment.' .
Let your doctor prescribe
what medicine or stimulants
you need, if any, and advise
you about bathing and what
to eat. And with, his consent
add to this Scott's Emul
sion.
No other form of nourish
ment is so rich in material
for making good blood and
repairing damaged tissue. It
acts with- peculiar directness
upon the lungs and lends
valuable aid in driving out
consumption germs.
We do not say it is a cure
for consumption. There is no
consumption specific. Scott'a
Emulsion is simply one of the
most effectual of the many
good influences, any one oi
which may turn the scale in
your favor. With right living
and proper nourishment there
is always good ground for
hope. Men have lived tc
healthy old age with only one
lung. The germs got the
other.
If a burglar crept into youi
room at night and had you
by the throat you would not
stop to calculate how much
help you needed. You would
shout for all the help you
could get.
This is how you must treat
consumption. Summon every
possible force to drive it out
bv getting good blood and
keeping it oure. You should
not neglect a single source of
help. You certainly cannot
afford to overlook Scott's
Emulsion.
