COMPEL TUB BACHELORS TO WED Charlotte Smith's Scheme to Hikt Times Better New York, Aug. 23. Charlotte Smith, president of the Women's Rescue League, called on the Central Labor Union to explain her new scheme for compelling marriageable bachelors to marry.- fche was too late to get the floor, bat she button-holed several of the dele gates. She said she had statistics to show that there was an intimate connection between her scheme and the labor ques tion. The great com petion of women in the field of labor, she held, was because 60 per cent of the men refused to marry. She said she was going to Boston to start a campaign against- the Republi can and Democratic candidates for mayor there, because both of them are bachelors. She did not believe that a bachelor ought to hold an elective office, because no man could possibly act on questions of public morality unless he was married. She was preparing a pamphlet npon her scheme, and intended to show that if bachelors were compelled to marry and the army of unmarried women were to become housewives and mothers, wages would go up. Even if all the bachelors in Greater New York were to marry there would be still 100,000 women without husbands. It is re ported from Boston that Mr, Curtis, the Republican candidate for mayor of that city, has already announced his engage m'ent to a young woman. OPERATORS NOT AGREED. Many Are in Favor of Granting Strikers' Demands. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23. The confer ence between the miners' officials and the executive committee of the coal op erators met this morning. The miners were represented by National President Raicbford, District President Dolan and Secretary Warner. The operators' com mittee was composed of J. C. Dysart, G W. Schuldenburg, J. N. O'Neil, J. B. Zerb, F. M. Osborne, TJ. A. Andrews, W P. Bonte and W. P. Rend. Previous to the conference a large Dumber of operators congregated in the corridors of the Monongahela house. There was much dissatisfaction among them. Many were opposed to breaking the strike by importing men, and quite a large number urged the acceptance of the miners' terms. The conference ended at noon, after an agreement had been made for a gen eral conference of operators and miners' officials at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

"The statement," said he, "that I had refused a conference is not correct. I am here now at the request of Dalan. We will only agree to the operators' proposition if they will pay 69 cents. That is the lowest rate the miners will accept. - It must be 69 cents or the strike will be continued until the de mands are granted." ' WILL. BRING PROSPERITY. President McKLlnley Says the Boom Has Come to Stay. New Yohk, Ang. 23. A dispatch to the Journal from Hotel Cbamplain, it. Y., says: President McKinley stated to a Journ al representative that it should be a source of pleasure to every American citizen to known tnat tnere was a re turn of prosperity to the country. "The cause of the present boom in the West," he said, is undoubtedly due in a great measure to the large crops and high prices caused by the failure of crops in other countries. But .the fact " that prosperity has set in in the East cannot be accounted for in any other way than by the wise policy of the Republican party in restoring a protective tariff. ' ."The present boom is not spasmodic; it will continue to increase, and not only the manufacturers, but dealers generally will soon recognize that with a protec tive tariff and sound principles, the country will be prosperous and remain in that condition. With the restoration of confidence will come a restoration of prosperity." Only a Newspaper Fane. Chicago, Aug. 23. Miss Cora M Black, of Los Angeles, who is visiting in this city, explodes the story about the reported mountain of gold in the island of Metlakahtla, off the coast of Alaska, The island is the property of a tribe of Indians, having been given them a few years age Dy tne government as a reservation. Through the missionary endeavors of a Mr. Duncan, who have embraced Christianity, and have become an industrious, sober and thrifty lot of people. Miss Black, who has visited the island and been all over it, says the story of the mountain of gold is absurd, and there is nothing to it. 1 Boston Girls for Alaska. Boston, Ang. 23. Ralph K. Mont morency, of Seattle, is here on a novel expedition. He is going to take a ship load of handsome young Boston girls to Alaska about 200 of them, he expects In an interview he said s "My main object is to get a good steam vessel around to the Pacific to do a general transportation business be tween Puget sound and Alaskan ports next summer.

Chicago, Ang. 23. The -curb quota tion for September wheat' today was $1.02, an advance of three cents over Saturday's close. At the same time 334 was bid for corn, 2 cents over Satur day's close. The news all pointed to an exceedingly lively day's session in all the grain pits. Liverpool's opening wheat advance this morning was equal to 54 cents per bushel. A noteworthy fact was that of the world's wheat -.shipments last week, 7,210,000 bushels ; 5,218,000 bushels were contributed by America. The usual Monday morning crop reports were al most uniformly bad. All the buoyancy was out of wheat when the opening bell rang on the regu lar board. . The highest price touched in the initial trading was 99) cents for September, the exact quotation at which the market closed Saturday. Simul taneous sales at the opening were all the way down a cent lower to 98 cents for September, and a few minutes later sales were being recorded at 97 and even at 96 cents. Enormous quantities of wheat were for sale from every direc tion. It was hard to sell, buyers being relatively very scarce. The lowest point reached was 95 cents for September, a plunge of 7 cents from the high point on the curb. Corn sympathized with the slump in wheat, and the first regular trading was at 33, and all the way down to 32 for September, as compared with 33 on the curb. After the opening rush to sell, there was some recovery and at 10 a. m. Sep tember wheat was back to 98 cents, and gradually worked up to 99 cents, bat at 11 o'clock declined again to 972 cents. The New York Market. New Yobk, Ang. 23. Wheat had an other sensational opening today, but less one-sided than of late. he bulls were startled to find heavy selling orders from foreign and other sources, which broke prices during the first half hour about 4 cents abushel from the highest curb price of Saturday. December opened at 104, broke to 101 under vigorous sell ing pressure, and then rebounded vio lently to 104, later weakening to 103j. San Francisco Wheat Market. San FfiANCisco, Aug. 23.

In an in terview at Kaelo, President Turner, of the Le Roi Company, Btated that should the Dominion government impose an ex port duty on ore, the company would probably conduct the Northport smelter, as a customs smelter, getting ores from Stevens county and the Colville reser vation mines. The might also, in that case, erect another smelter on the Ca nadian side of the boundary line. Mineowners at Sandon, in the Slocan country, claim that even if silver falls to 40 cents, they can still operate their mines at a profit. ' The Trail smelter is putting in a silver lead smelting plant in order to treat Slo can ores. Gold In California. Quincy, Bal., Aug. 23. The report which came from the vicinitv of the Thistle shaft that "Lucky Antone," an Italian, had made a $10,000 strike in week, is confirmed by J. W.
