It agreed to leave all points upon which under standing it not reached to the final ar bitration ol Secretaries Talt and Hacon. The government llrnl HiiggcnlHd that it would treat with the Liberals if they would lay down their arms, hut the .American t-ouimisMioners ruled that thin stipulation wai imfnir and the Moderate lepresentati ves hold thin view. It In heyond question that both par tied were brought to a more tractable Irnine of mind hy the verbal ultima tum insued hy Messrs. Taft and ll.icon yesterday in the name of President Hoofevelt, that, unless they consent to a fair arbitration, tint United States rniiiit compel the name hy a temporary inilitary occiipHtlon. Such occupation, it wan declare I, would not mean Amer ican sovereignty. It would continue only until new election! had hetn held, the government firmly crilablishrd ami order restored. Whatever the outcome of the negoti ations between the Liberals and Mod erates may ho, it la felt here that thero will he need for all the American ma rines within reach, aa there in little confidence in the ability of the rehel leaders to control their men when or dered to give up their arms and return to their home. It is tactitly understood hy the com mittee! of the two parties that, unless an agreement is reached this week, annco American intervention will cri me. The Mo derated declare that the appointment of a committed to in (("ti me with the Liberals does not mean the conceding of new election. The general disposition to (jet together is stronger .

Woodruff for state chairman it finally retired "Hoss" Odell, placated Senator I'latt and at the name time recognized the ability of a man who is a strong political force irrespective of his afliliation with any of the old bosses. The control of new leaders was furth er emphasized hy the absence of Sena tors Piatt and Depew, who have not missed a state convention in many years. The old leaders, however, were pacified by the renomination of all the state officers except that Lewis was nnme.l for controller in place of Otto Kelsey. Huffalo, Sept. 27. William It. Hearst, backed by "Hose" Murphy, ol Tammany Hall, has been nominated for governor bv the Democratic state convention.

The Moderato party, which six weeks ago was In control of every oflice In the Is land, iiHtiomil, provincial and munici pal, in determined to abdicate every thing and compel the United States to intervene. In fact, every government nlllcial from President I'Hlma down Is sincerely anxious to force such inter vention rather than yield to any one of the terms offered hy the Liberal party and thoHe in arms against the govern ment. The Liberal leaders characterize the conduct of the governmental treason to the republic, while Secretary of War Taft regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to force the hand of the United States into intervention. This, it has been stated, is precisely what President Roosevelt has been most anxious to avoid. Senor Palma has called a special ses sion of congress for Friday, when lie will present the resignation of himself and Vice Prenident Mendex Capote. Thn Moderates, however, will not at tend that session of congress, for in their hurriedly called National Mod erate si-Hciiihly yesterday afternoon they didded unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will riot even at tend the approaching session or have anything more to 'do with the govern ment of Culm, alleging that they hove been unjustly treated by Mr. Roose velt's comrnisnioners. FOREIGN IMPORTS EXEMPT. Moody's Opinion on Meat Inspection New Rules for Exports. Washington, Sept. 2'1. A decision has been reached by the department of J lift Ice that the meat inspection lw recently enacted by congress does nor apply to foreign products shipped into this country. This opinion was pre pared several days ago and submitted to Attorney General Moody. lie con curred, it is understood, in Hie opinion prepared by the department. The acting secretary of commerce and labor today promulgated certain rules regarding the exportation of meats and meat products, prescribing the manner of inspecting carcasses and the issuance of certificates, labels, etc. The rules require that both the orig inal and duplicate certificate shall be delivered to the exporter, who shall file the original with the ctiHtoms olli cer and the duplicate w'th the con signee, to he u'ed by the latter In iden tifying the shipment at the point of destination by comparison with the original. Clearance is to be denied to any ves sel carrying meat products for exporta tion where regulations have not been strictly complied with. The rules will go into effect on October 1. CAUSE SHORTAGE OF COAL. Railroads Refute Cars and Boost the Price to Consumers. Salt Lake, Sept. 20. That the rail roads are to hlame lor the high price and periodical shortage of coal in Salt Lake was the conclusion to he drawn from the testimony presented before Charles A. Prouty, of the Interstate Commerce commission today. The in quiry was adjourned until Thursday morning at 10 o'clock when it will be reMiinel in Denver. Mark Hopkins, who opened two coal mines at Cumber land, Wyo., was sworn as an expert today. He said that coal could be placed in cars at Wyoming and Utah mines for $ 1 a ton and allow a reason able profit. The present price on board cars is $ 2 a ton. Salt Lske dealers pay $3 75 for the coal laid down and the consumer pays $5.25 a ton. P. J. Qnealy, manager of the Kem inprer, Wyoming, coal company, and Thomas Sneddon, superintendent of the Diamondville mines, admitted that their output could be increased to pre vent the annual winter shortages, hut said that the railroads did not furnish cars to carry a larger product. An a'tempt was made to show that the I'ni in Pacific railway carries sup plies for its mines at a lower rate than that quoted to independent operators, but this was not substantiated by di rect testimony. Army Is Ready. Oyster Bay, Sept. 28. Plans for the transfer of troops from the United States to Cuba in event of the failure of Secretary Taft's mission to bring about a peaceful solution ol the trouble in the island republic have been com pleted. The final step was taken to day, according to an announcement made here tonight, when the transport Sumner, now lying at the New York navy yard, was put in commission. Negotiations are already under way for the acquisition of merchant steamers to be used as transports. Terrorists Try Fire. St. Petersburg, Sept. 20. The Yam burg district has been devastated by a series of conflagrations which are be lieved to be the work of organized bands of incendiaries. Six private er tates have been destroyed, and a great paper factory has been burned down. Two villagoB were in flames today, Great damage was done by fire in the Ohkhota quarter of St. Petersburg last night. Three persons are known to have lost their lives in this fire.

TALK WITH REBELS Mediators Agree With One Side and Submit Plans to Other. UNWILLING TO SWALLOW DOSE Taft and Bacon Tell Government of Terms Arranged With Lead ers of Liberal Party. Havana, Sept. 25. An unsatisfacto ry conference was held at the palace Inst night by President Palma, Secre tary of the Treasury Fontsy Sterling, Secretary of State O'Farrill, Freyre Andrade, speaker ol the lower house, Secretary of War Taft Bnd Mr. iiaeon, Consul General Hteiiihrt and Captain McCoy, when the mediators called the attention of the Cuban administration to the status of the peace negotiations with the Libert .nd insurgents. The conference adjourned at 11 o'cloc to ire resumed today. Tire peace terms proposed are known to be against the government. The visit to the palace of the American commissioners was therefore not par ticularly pleasant. On departing, Mr. Taft announced that the conference had resulted only in exchange of opinions and that another meeting was ntces sary. The big doors of the palace clos ed as neual at 11 o'clock, but the presi dent and members of the cabinet re mained in conference long after that hour. At the conclusion of a long conference between a committee of the insurgents of eight members and the American peace commissioners, the insurgent committee announced that there was practically no difference remaining be tween it and Messrs. Taft and Bacon, and that they would receive a draft of the peace terms today. These probab ly would ho agread to at a meeting to le held in t'.ie Presidio, w hore the pris oner members of the committee are confined. Mr. Taft said he could give no de tails of what transpired at the confer ence, for the reason that it was neces sary to treat with the government lead ers and that the publication of the peace proposals might interfere with their prompt acceptance. The absence of a definite statement from the commissioners makes it im possible to say whether the plans cairy the resignations of ttie present admin istration and the congressmen elected last year or not. There is a strong im pression that Mr. Palma will remain and re-organize the cabinet, but that new elections will be held for half the senators and representatives, in other words those who were elected last year, and possibly also for provincial officers. LUMBER TRUST ALARMED. Federal Investigation Expected to Re suit in Reduction of Prices. Sin Francisco, Sept. 25. The Fed eral grand jury will commence its in vesication of the lumber trust October 2. United States District Attorney Devlin has completed hia investigation of the great combine and its methods, and be is satisfied that a trust does ex ist. All the information in the pos session of the government prosecutor will be turned over to the jury. There are many witnesses to he examined in the case, and these will be subpenaed to appear before the body during the course of the investigation. Lumbermen state that the price of timber has reached its highest mark and the action of the government will probably cause a decline. An authori ty on the situation this morning stated that lumber prices will drop November 1, and the succeeding months will 'see a gradual decline in ail grades of build ing material. This lumberman states that the decrease is partially due to the settlement of the sailors' strike. He Buys that timber can now be brought into San Francisco at much lower rates than heretofore, anil can also be hand led much more rapidly. New Route for Chinese. St. John, N. F., Sept. 25. An Amer ican yacht, claiming to bail from New York, 1-ft Placentia Sunday having aboard 42 Chinese, whom it is supposed she is trying to smuggle into Canadian or American ports. The Colonial cruiser Neptune has been dispatched in quest of her, and has been instructed to seize her for alleged violation of the Colonial laws in embarking passengers without a permit. This is the third yacht in these waters during the pres ent summer to be suspected of this practice. Investors Trust Uncle Sam, New York, Sept. 25. Cuban obliga tions have lost only 4,'a points since the early days in August. At the bot tom of this confidence here and abroad is the knowledge that the United States government, under the provisions of the Piatt amendment, is the responsi ble guardian of the Cuban peace. Fi nancial interests have supreme confi dence in this government's ability to put an instant quietus to the fighting aa Boon as intervention is nrceBBary. Soldiers. Induced to Desert. San Francisco, Sept. 25. A grave problem la said to be facing the mili tary authorities in thia city. Soldiers are reported to be deserting in large numbers, and the reason given for the increase in abandoning the colors is said to be due to the fact that employ ment agents are luring men from the service by offers of big pay for small service In civil life FAIR AT SAN FRANCiSCO. Citizens Desire to Show That Me tropolis Has Not Lost Grip. Han Francisco, Sept. 25. Avery ambitious scheme has been put forward here this week in the form of a pro posal that Han Francisco hold a world's fair In 1911. The idea had been sug gested early In the year, but nothing was heard ol it following the fire until this week, when W. II. Mills, of the Southern Pacific, In a letter to James I). Phelan, revived the plan. It was originally intended that the exposition should be commemorative of trie dis covery of the Pacific wean hy Balboa in 1613. The date 1911 has been suggest ed jor ine exposition, as It lollows So closely on the world's fair to be held in Paris in 1910, and would enable San Frsncico to have the exhibits trans ferred as they were from St. Louis to Portland. The suggestion of Mr. Mills has been well received. Mr. Phelan in a cordial reply suggested that Mr. Mills consult with others who are known to be inter ested in mch a project. If sentiment warrants, it is understood that prelim inary teps will then be taken to form a corporation to finance the undertak irg. It is the general opinion tat such an exposition more than anything else would contribute to the future welfare of San Francisco. It is not Intended to operate on any such scale as the St. Louis fair, hut to uie the Portland ex position as a model and build on lines unique and artistic. As a site for U e necessary buildings, the burned area and Golden Gate park have been sug gested. MANY ASSETS OVERLOOKED. Illinois Bank Examiner May Be Asked to Resign. Chicago, Sept. 25. Depositors in the looted Milwaukee Avenue Savings bank, of which Paul O. Stensland was president, will make a demand on Gov ernor Deneen this week for the removal of Bank Examiner C. C. Jones. How the state examiner overlooked for 10 years such gross frauds as those contin ually perpetrated in the Stensland bank was a subject of comment among the members of the depositors' commit tee immediately after the failure. This oversight may have been over looked, however, had it not been dis covered yesterday that $340,000 in as sets passed unnoticed when the exam iner made his last investigation into the institution's condition. Of this sum, $81,000 is in actual cash, and perhaps the most B'artling feature of the rase is the fact that bad any one cared to pocket this money no one would have been the wiser. Receiver Fetzer will report the dis covery to Julge Brentano tomorrow, and the report wjll be followed by a re quest from the depositors for an ex planation or a resignation from Kxam iner Jones. TWENTY BODIES EXHUMED. More Victims of the San Francisco Disaster Found. San Francisco, Sept. 25. Another tragedy has been brought to light through the finding of the remains of c score or more of bodies in the rains of a lodging house at the corner of Fifth and Mina Btreets. J. R. Armstrong, a contractor, made the grewsome find while clering away debris which choked the thoroughfare. The lodging house, which was a four story frame building, was tossed bodi ly into Minna street in a heap by the earthquake and immediately took fird. It la said that the fire south of Market street originated here. Fifty people were in the place at the time of the shake, only seven of whom have been accounted for. Mrs. Mur ray, the landlady, has never been seen or heard from and it is thought that her remtina are among those found. She is said to have a wealthy daughter residing in New York city and a broth er-in-law in Vallejo. Armstrong positively identified one body as being that of a young man named Woods who was employed by the Risdon Iron works. Standard Oil Plant Besieged. Chicago, Sept. 25. Angered by a teport that further demonstrations of force by pickets which the Firemen's union has thrown around the Standard Oil company's plant at Whiting, Ind., will bring militia, martial law and a practical cessation of business, mer chants of that town have come out boldly in the strikers' favor. The Standard Oil plant la practically under siege by the strikers and it ia feared that the management's threat to im port men will be followed by riot and bloodshed. Decisive Battle Imminent. Washington, Sept. 25. According to information which reached Washington from San Domingo, a tattle between the government troops and rehel forces ia imminent and the forthcoming en gagement ia expected to be a decisive one. The contending forces are assem bled in the vicinity of Monte Cristi, where the battle is expected to be fought. It ia said that should the government gain a victory over the rebels it nay end the rec-ellUm. Up In the Billions. Washington, Sept. 25. The foreign commerce ol the United States has crossed the $3,000,000,000 mark.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to llnve Ki lleurlutr on Slae. The aalvellnus foutlnalls, which Is currently but Inaccurately called brook trout, was supposed for many years to be a small flsh. Agasslz was largely Instrumental In exploding this fallacy, says the St. Paul Dispatch. It Is not an uncommon thing for an angler with ordinary luck to get a six or seven pound trout of this variety. It Is known that a trout may grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds. There Is, however, great dlfllculty In accounting for IU variation In size. In Northeastern Canada there are largo streams and lakes In which only migerllngs have ever been found. In the Immediate vicinity of such waters A IPS' country Is a dreamy contrast It Is wandering through charming fields an-1 winding country lane confined by hedge rows and ancient stiles, wherw the lark's wing song of ecstacy echoes amid Infinite variety and pastoral re IKise. Tiro traveler crosses the battle field of Shrewsbury, passes a village that contains the remains of a British hill fort, crosses a dlko built by thw early Saxons. He cornes Into Wale, land of curious names, crossing by th high viaduct the lovHy valley of tho Celrlag. The massive round tower of Chirk castle cornes Into view, then by a nwind lofty viaduct the river Deo, and the magnificent oaks of Wynnstay Park. Chester Is reached across a great Irou bridge. This, the capital of Cheshire, Is the quaintest of all old English towns, nnd most mediaeval In asptM.-t. Here almost every American stois first, and wanders around wldo- cyed and admiring. Every stone of tho old walls Is Interesting. Phoenix tower has Its tragic memory graven or It. Its Inscription tells ho'v Charles I. stood here watching the defeat of hU troops on Itowton moor some 2G1 year ago. Where the canal runs along the north wall there was once a moat. The tourist who takes n rapid scurry over the Island wishes always to taka In as a last reminder of merry England the beach of Margate. Margate haa all kinds of Coney Island attractions. In fiction Its name Is mentioned with fur greater frequency than Coney Island Is. In English stor't-s people ara always running down to Margate, pro vided they do not go to nearby Barns gate, which Is a notch or so higher up the social scale. Of these two re sorts Margate Is the smaller, and to this fact probably Is due the effect which It gives of having the larger number of temporary guests. It ha for the entertalmnent of Its visitors a "Hall by the Sea," where concerts ara held. It also has two theaters, a kur saal, a grotto, and an opeu air theater with promenades and a band stand. Hath houses are scattered along 1U beaches. Liverpool Is stamped all over with the word "America." There are Ameri can ships lu the harbor, or.d American, goods on the docks. There are cart piled high with American cotton, and, best of all, upon the mainmast of a great liner Inviting to a homeward journey, the stars and stripes float proudly, as the giant steamship rides down the Mersey towards the sea. (The End.) three and four-pound trout are qulta common and seven and eight-pounders are not phenomenal. In all these wa ters Crustacea do not abound: there are no small fJ.sh of any kind except small trout. All the fish are pure fly feed ers. At some places, It Is true, frogf abound, but, taken as a whole, the dif ference In food supply Is not an ade quate explanation for the difference la growth. There Is no substantial difference la the waters as to temperature, size, ori gin nnd course. Climatic condition are the same. The small trout taken to virgin lakes In which there are no fish have sometimes grown to a great size, have sometimes remained small and sometimes have not thriven. Tha anglers who haunt these waters have not yet found a satisfactory explana tion of this peculiar condition of things. It Is one of the mysteries which lends fascination to the art. "You never can tell what Is going to happen when you go fishing." Lelichlou and III Critic.

The critical lady was momentarily abashed; then she said, easily: "Oh, you mustn't mind what I say." "No, Indeed, you mustn't," another began, earnestly.
