of the meeting that It be the ultima
tum." The agreement as submitted to the
exporters was slightly modified from
Its form as reported in yesterday s
Journal. It provides for the reinstate
ment of all the strikers, Including the
weighers, ssmplers and machine men,
but that the latter may be later re
placed by nonunion men. provided they
are found to be satisfactory, but these
must be compelled to Join the union
within a reasonable time.
The wage suggested Is It cents an
hour and the time and a half for over
time. The workday shall be nine houre
long, and no pay shall be less than for
half a day's work.
The objection of the exporters, aa
pointed out by W. J. Btirna. is against
the unionising of the weighers, samp
lers and machine men. This point, Mr.
Burns has said again and again, will
never be conceded. Thw ' unionists, on
the other hand, say they will never re
linquish the demand.

From the natbeUo etory told to the
authorities this morning by Mrs. Amelia
Stone, a gray-haired woman of tt years.
It Is apparent that Francis itTruin,
the self-styled mystic, who mjSjsilons
ly disappeared from this city last wsek
leaving clamoring creditors in his walls,
had no hesitancy in using aU ths wiles
and artifices of hypnotism at his com
mand to lure from an aged widow ner
meager savings. A warrant charging
larceny has been placed In the hands of
ths polios for service and several de
tectives are making a strenuous en
deavor to locate the missing psychic.
Mrs. Stone, bowed by age and 'In
despair because of her loss, presented a
most pathstlo figure, aa aha applied to
the municipal court for a warrant ror
ths arrest of Truth. She was acoom-
yakxiivu uy vnwii. w.uvut 1 "

of ft00 worth of Turkish rags as the
result of Truth's operations.
Mrs. Stone resides at ttt Salmon
street and has been eking out a living
by the manufacture of fancy pillows
and raffling them. The tickets she has
disposed of to charitably Inclined per
sons throughout the city. The story of
the nefarious doings of Truth Is best
told in her own words. To a Journal
representative she made the following
statement.
"About September II, after reading
one of Truth's circulars, which I found
on the street, I determined to visit him
at Ms office at 101 Fifth street for a
reading. He treated me courteously
and after aa examination of my palm
told me all about my past life. He
said that ths future waa particularly
bright for me and that I would have
considerable money. Before I left he
asked me if I had any money and ad
vised me to Intrust It to him for In
vestment, as a large number of people
were giving htm money for Investment
purposes. ' He stroked my hand, patted
my cheek and looked me straight Ift the
eye and told me to bs sure and bring
him the money.'
'Whan I left bis place I felt very
peculiar and could not rid myself of his
Influence. I returned home and taking
ttl of ths money I had saved went
back to his office. I gavs him ths
money and he said that when I desired
to go to my sister in North Bend hs
would repay me at least ttOO. I went
away satisfied and about two weeks ago
again visited him, I Informed the man
that I had made up my mind to go to
my sister and wantsd the money.
"He told me not to be In a hurry to
go away and that if I had any more
money It would be beet for me to give
It to him. He said that he had been
thinking of me and had received a mes
sage from the spirit world that I was
surrounded by evil Influences In ths
house where I lived. I told him that
the people were all of ths best char
acter, but he said that be was not aa tie
fled and would oome and see. A few
days later he called, and after rubbing
my head and gaslng Into my eyes
ordered me to open my trunk. I wss
absolutely under bis control and from
the peculiar 1. fluent hs bad over me
and did aa hs requested. Hs thep took
tilt from the trunk, which wss all I
had left of my savings
"After he left I felt as If I would go
Insans and the next day want to his of
fice. I explained my condition and he
replied that It was due to the fact that
I had got rid of my laat money but ths
feeling would soon pass away. I told
him that I had no money and he ssst
his msn to ths bank to get a check
cashed. When hie asslstsnt returned
he handed me tl, which he said was a
loan. I took ths gold piece snd went
away and when I next went to hla of
fices the place wss vacant The money
he took from the trunk and the ttt he
forced me to give him waa all I had in
ths world. I Intended to have a little
house built to live In.
Me Trace of Fugitive.
In the event of Truth's arrest he will
bs com pel led to furnish 11.000 ball.
Since leaving hla offices no trace of
him baa been discovered and the police
of the neighboring cities will bs asks
to bs on the watch for him.
Mrs Stone's story visibly affected
all of the court officials present, snd
In view of her penniless condition wsys
snd means were formulated to assist
her. She expressed a desire to go to
her sister, Mrs. Fox. st North Bend,
and through the efforts of Clark Frank
Hennessey ths agents of the stsamer
Alliance offered to furnish free trans
portation. Upon considering the mat
ter Mrs. Stone thought best to remain
here for a short Urns until she could
dispose of ell of the tickets for the pil
low she was raffling and hoed ths
drawing,
William KJeman, connected with
s weekly newspapsr ascertained that
ths poor woman had a number of tick
ets, which had not been disposed of,
and Immediately set to work to sell
them. In s few minutes hs had sold
svery ticket and turned over It.Tt to
Mrs. Stone. She was greatly affected
by the generosity displayed and was
profuse In her thanks. A feature of
ths sale of the tickets occurred when
Kiernan approached BS. B. Turner, who
had oome to the police to report, having
been robbed last night. "Welt I sm
pretty short myself," bs salt, "but I
guess tats lady needs ths money badly,
so here's a quarter for s tlosart.''
