Columbus, O., June 20.—The strike of United Mine Workers in this state has been settled and work will be re- sumed at once. The miners, number- Ing 35,000, have been idle two months.

Washington, June 20.—A tacit agreement - has been reached by the; president; Secretary Shaw and the delegation of representative citizens of San Francisco by which substantial | aid will be given San Francisco by the government. It is proposed that the United States treasury deposit with the San Francisco banks-$12,000,- 000 of government money, with the bonds of the city as security for the deposit, the money to remain with the banks until such time as the govern- ment shall call for it. This may not be for a number of years, so that the banks have practical assurance that they may retain the deposit for euchl a period as will ‘be of value in Lhe» reconstruction of the city. Under the law the secretary of the! treasury has authority to deposit gov- ernment funds in this way. He can- not, of course, bind his successor to leave the money on deposit, but he himself may leave it there until it is needed by the government. It is pro- posed in California to organize a cor- poration with a capital of several mil-| lions of dollars, composed of prom- inent and influential men .throughout the state of -California and other states, and to issue bonds to suarantee the government against loss through the banks. Qther plans have been suggested for the raising of money to enable the people of San Francisco to rebuild their homes and- business houses; but thus far nothing has been proposed : thAt will meet the ideas of congress. DEFIES THE COMMITTEE. William Nelson Cromwell Refuses to Answer Questions. ‘Washington, June 20.—In defiance of the order of the senate committee on interoceanic canals that he answer certain questions propounded to him |} in the investigation of isthmian canal | affairs William Nelson Cromwell re- peated his refusals. He stated that' the questions involved confidential re- lations with his client, the new Pan- ama Canal company. The questions were read to him by Senator Morgan and when the first one was asked, which concerned the first work he did for the Panama Canal company in America, the witness calmly took from | his pocket a brief prepared statement ; : 8OUTH DAKOTA FARMER DRIVES TEAM OFF BRIDGE INTO SWOLLEN STREAM.

Lamb (Va.) and Bowie (Ala.). ly the confcrees were named, being ‘Wadsworth, Scott and Lamb. Mr. Williams (Miss.) enlivened the debate on the bill by calling attention to the differences of opinion between two sons of New York (the president and Mr. Wadsworth). “Now is the winter of our discon- tent made glorious summer by this son of New York,” said Mr. Williams, which caught the humor of the house. In a semi-humorous vein Mr. Will- iams continued: “We must under the rules of the house approve this proposed legisla- tion just as it conies to us nursed by the speaker and the president and ap- proved of by the committee, because the committee on agriculture could not well do anything except approve after these-two great ruling authori=| ties had spoken.” AGREE ON MEAT INSPECTION. President and House Leaders Finally Get Together. Washington, June 20.—A complete agreement between President Roose- velt and the house committee on agri- culture on the meat inspection legis- lation has been reached. It will authorize an annual appro- priation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of inspection and will contain no pro- vision for the levying of an assess- ment to make up the deficiency in the amount available for this work, as suggested by Mr. Cowan, representing the Texas cattle growers, and later urged by the president. The court review provision will not be contained in the measure. This action meets the suggestion of the president. The words “in the judgment of the secretary of agriculture,” suggested by the president, will not be con- tained in the measure. The conclu- sion now meets Mr. Roosevelt’s ap- proval.

After going over the previous record at some length in order to glve the witness another opportunity to.’ answer the committee adjourned until Thursday without having concluded the record. GIVEN INCREASE Chicago Freight Handlers Will Not Go on Strike. Chicago, June 20.—The troubles be- ; tween the railroads and freight han-| dlers have been practically adjusted. The Lake Shore, Santa Fe and Mich- igan Central roads offered the men an increase of 1 cent an hour, just half of the increase they demanded. It was. understood that if this was ac- cepted by the men that the other roads will follow suit. The men on the Lake Shore and | Santa Fe roads accepted the terms offered by the roads and their doing so received the sanction of the oflicers of the union. It is now considered | certain that all of the roads will make | similar terms with their freight han- dlers. IN WAGES. FOLK WILL GRANT RESPITE. Missouri Court Denies Rehearing for Condemned Woman. | Jefferson City, Mo., June 20.—Divi- : sion No. 2 of the supreme court has overruled a motion for a rehearing in the case of Mrs. Aggie Myers, sen- tenced to be hanged on June 29 for the murder of her husband in Kansas City two years ago. Governor Folk says he will grant the condemned wo- man a respite of either thirty or sixty days in order to permit time for inves- tigation .into facts of the case and de- termine whether or not to commute ' her sentence to life imprisonment. , correspondents to send anything re- flecting on the authorities. The Golos, a new paper edited by M. Ulianoff, a member of the lower house of parlia- | ment, containing an account of the horrors and charging the authorities | of Bialystok with deliberately prepar- | ing the riot, was confiscated when it appeared. Dispatches from the interior bring the usual chronicles of murder and robbery. Fresh strikes are reported at Kaluga, Volsk and Usting Veliki, but the suc- cess of the attempt to precipitate a general strike is by no means as- sured. The news from Cronstadt continues disquieting. The troops sent to the island are camping outside the city. ' The Twentieth Century says the sit- uation is so dangerous that the breech- blocks have been removed from the guns of the warships in the harbor. QUIET AT BIALYSTOK. Russian Town Resuming Its Normal Appearance, Bialystok, Russia, June 20.—The ; night passed quietly and the town is j resuming its normal appearance. Some street cars are running and several factories have resumed work. Fully . half the patrols have been withdrawn from the streets here and in the suburbs. General Rader, commander of the garrison and acting governor general, is in personal charge of the troops, which are so disposed that a renewal of the rioting is considered improb- able. The Jews, however, continue in a state of panic. As the Associated | Press correspondent passed throue)x the streets strewn wilh wreckage | they could be seen hastily barricading ; what was left of their houses. Many ; of them adopted the artifice of placing ikons or crosses on their doors in or- der ln avert the altacks of the Chris Krementchug, Zhitomir, ' There is to be no date on the label of the packing of meat food products. In this the president yields to the committee. i The language which gives inspec- tors the right to the packing plants at all times is amplified by the words, “whether the same be in operation or not.” The action waiviag the civil service- law for one year in the selection of inspectors will go out of the provision; also one of the president’s recom- mendations. With these changes made the pres- ident has indicated his entire satis- faction with the measure. TILLMAN RESOLUTION KILLED. Provided for Investigation of Political Contributions by Banks. « Washington, June 20.—Democratic ! members of the senate committee on finance united with the Republican { members in opposing action on Sen- ator Tillman’s resolution requesting the committee to inquire into the lquestiofis of campaign contributions ! by national banks, the Walsh failures 'in Chicago and the action of certain Ohio banks in paying county treas- ‘urers for deposits of county funds. The minority members agreed that if the senate bill now pending, which ‘ prohibits campaign contributions by j banks, becomes a law there could be no good purpose served in entering upon an Investigation such as is con: , templated by the resolution. i e e Dearer. “George,” murmured the young wife, “am I _as dear to you as I ‘was before we married?” = £ “f camt exactly tell,” replied the hus- band abseutmindedly. any account of my expenses then.” ] 'We must be sure to give due weight to the good side of every event fimt S * has two swen.—m “I didn’t keep | 'ENTIRE FAMILY PERISHES|SENT m cflNFERENcE’A GAIN OF 1,391 SINCE STATE CENSUS OF 1905 GETS TWENTY-YEAR TERM PHILADELPHIA KIDNAPPER SENT TO PRISON TWENTY-FOUR HOURS AFTER ARREST. Philadelphia, June 20.—John Joseph Kean, the kidnapper of Freddie Muth, | who was arrested Monday, has been indicted by the grand jury, pleaded guilty and sentenced to twenty years in prison.

Y., June 20.—A contest over the several million dollar circus owner who died last April, was foreshadowed during the day when formal objection was made to the probating of -his will. The objectors are Anna E. Robinson and Mary Gor- don, nieces of Bailey, who reside in Detroit, Mich., and Gorden Daney, a nephew. The objeetors allege that the will filed is not the last will and testament of Mr. Bailey; that 1t was obtained by undue influence and that he was not competent at the time the instrument was signed to make a will. Under the will in question Mr. of 1,391 since the state census in 1905. Nymore is not lincluded. There has been a feeling for a ilong time that the 1905 census does ot do justice to the city of 1906 aud that another hiuse to housc canvass should be made to discover just how much had been gained 1n the last year. In 1905 the city was credited with 8,800 people. A committee including Judge M. A Spooner, Mayor A. A. Car- ter, Sheriff Thomas Bailey and M E. Thursion was appointed to take charge of the task, and working under them as enumer- ators .were Al Wright, O. E Bailey and €, C. Folker. Folker took the first ward, [Wright the Second ward, and - Bailey the Third ward. Each man did a portion of the Fourth ward. “The work occupied just Bailey’s entire estate goes to his widow.
