The Osservatore Romano, official organ of the vatican, today publishes an official note as follows: “The initiative of the govern- ment of the United States with the object at arriving at an understanding with the holy see about religious questions in the Philip- pines, in which is showed frankness-and fine political tact, has reached a happy ending after negotiations conducted on both sides in a spirit of conciliation and friendly def- erence. “The gemeral lines of a common accord bave been drawn up to the mutual satis- faction of the parties concerned and in conformity with the proposals made to the holy see in & memorandum. “These general lines will serve as a basis for further negotiations as regards detalls, to be conducted and brought to a conclu- sion at Manila between an apostolic del gate and the governor of the Philippines. ENGLAND IS NOT VINDICTIVE Willing te Accept Payment from LONDON, July 18.—Replying to a ques- tion In the House of Lords today regard- ing the position of affairs in China, the forelgn secretary, Lord Lansdowne, said it ‘was hoped to restore Tien Tsin to the Chi- Rese within & month. Answering another question, Lord Lans- downe sald that Chinese indemnity debt was a gold debt, but Great Britain ‘was not vindictive and in consequence of the serious depreciation in the value of the tael bad suggested to the other powers & mitigation of the terms by which during the first eight years China should not pay more than she would have done had the tael maintained the value at which it stood ‘when the protocol was signed. The other powers decided to relieve China, 'but differed as to the means to be employed. Lord Lapsdowme thought every effort should be made by Great Britain to act with the other powers.

Former ister of Finance A M rin-| from VIENNA, July 18.—Count Matsukata, the former minister of finance of Japan, who recently returned fromfs month's visit to the United States, sab Se cnrrelpnnd- ent of the Associat: “While I was fl?!'ply ?s &,' tremendous energy of the s I a thelr wonderful commercial déve # = fear that too rapld progress s likely to experienibe, serious setback In the near future. ‘The commercial energy of the Ameri- can he continued, “incomparably sur- passes anything in Europe. This Is un- doubtedly one of the principal eauses of the economic advances of the United States. I perceive in many directions where Buro- pean countries are already affected by American expansion and I think it likely that they will be still more efocted in the future, but America’s progress has been s0 exceedingly rapld that I fear some sudden disaster. In my opinion too much business has been done on borrowed capital, This, coupled with the magnitude of the commercial operations common in the United States, will probably lead to a panle at the first untoward circumstances, such as a bad harvest or similar misfortune. While there are many strong banks In the United States, there are also many weak ones whose fallure will render a crash in- evitable.

While this is perfectly safe In theory because they are protected by a deposit of government bonds, yet in time of panie there Is considerable difference between negotiable paper and cash. Some of the most prominent financlers in America share thes pprehensions, which leads me to hope ‘that they, foreseeing the danger, will find means of averting it. If so, Amer- fea’s commercial progress will be even more remarkable than at present.” Count Matsukata has already visited London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and Rome, and 18 now studying the financial and - eco- nomic conditions of Austria-Hungary. He goes to St. Petersburg July 22 and expects to return to Japan via the Siberlan rail- road.

BERLIN, July 18.—The leading members of the Polish aristocracy in Berlin are quietly organizing with the object of re- fusing all court invitations on account of Emperor William's anti-Polish speech at Marienburg. Prince Anton of the anclent house of Radziwill is reputed to be at the head of the movemgnt. He has long been a favorite at court and formerly adjutant ot Emperor Willlam I This news comes from Polish journals and excites jubilation; but, so far as Prince Radsiwill s concerned, it & regarded as doubtful, as he had heretofore considered the Polish agitation as not likely to serve any permanent interest of his people.

FEARS A SUDDEN 'DISASTER|) MINERS 1N SECRET SESSION Recommendations cf President Mitohell Re- ferred to Bpecial Committes, ALL DANGER. OF GENERAL STRIKE PAST Indications that Suggestions of Pres- ident of Union Will He Adopted by Conyention with Lite tle Opposition. 1 NDIANAPOLIS, July 18.—At the conclu- #10n of a secret sesslon which lasted the en- tire afternoon, the recommendations of President Mitchell for the management of the anthracite strike were refe:red to a spe- clal committee, which is to report back to the convention when it meets tomorrow. The committee consiste of President Mitchell, Vice President Lewls, Secretary Wilson and the president of each district which is taking part in the convention. There is lttle doubt that the committee will urge the adoption of the recommenda- tions, fixing the rate of assessment at 10 per cent or over. At the opening of the executive session Vice President Lewlis took the floor and de- livered an energetic epeech on the amend- morning, to the effect that the fund to be ralsed for the aid of the anthracite miners be extended to all of the striking miners the general organization. | he thought ail of the miners shoutd be taken care of in like manner. He also warned the convention that it would be necessary for the convention to so word its recom- mendations so as to avold the laws of Penn- sylvania, which he said, might cause trouble when an attempt was made to collect the ast ents of the men through the check offices by bringing about injunction pro- ceedings to restrain alleged conspiracy. President Mitchell then took the floor to speak for the adoption of the recommenda- tion made In his epeech of yesterday. He told the convention 'that the strikers in West Virginia and elsewhere were being protected by the general organizations under the regular assessments of the untonm, but that the assessment which was under dis- cu:sion was necessary for the support of the anthracite strike alone and should not be diverted from its purpose. “It 18 possible that other strikes may come,” he said, “and then, under the pre- cedent which a general distribution of the fund to be ralsed would create, these later strikes could claim thelr share in the fund and it would be so depleted as to rail en- tirely of its purpose.” Cost of Strikes Varfes. He declared that the cost of maintaining strikes varied according to places and con- ditions. “In the anthracite regions,” he sald, “the country is thickly settled. . There are mills and factories and it is possible for the men on a strike to secure employment. They are then no burden on the gemeral organi- zation, but are even able to hetp it. In West Virginia, for instance, there mre but two vocations for the miner—mining or farming The latter is out of the question for the greater part of the men, it mot for all of them, and they have no chance for employment when on a strike. It costs much more per capita to keep up a strike in W Virginia than in the anthracite reg- fons. The anthracite strike is, in fact, the cheapest strike that we can have. It fs casier to maintain than any other and we should not allow-it to go down to defeat by diverting the funds necessary for ft." Mr. Mitchell assured the convention that the strike in the Pittsburg district and all other“strikes would be looked after without splitting up the fund for the an- thracite men and again urged the men to dismiss from their minds all thoughts of a general strike. His remarks were greeted with enthu- slastic cheers. President Dolan of district No. §, Pitts- burg, got the floor to explain conditions in his district. He had sald in the morn- n that his.district had not re- that the ald it had received had been insufficlent, and President Mitch- ell had rejoined that the Pittsburg district had recelved from the national organiza- tion the exact amount which the officers of the district had sald would be necessary to win the strike. Dolan Mal Mr. Dolan made a long explination of the manner in which the money had been expended and told of the conditions In the surrounding district of Pittsburs. When he had concluded several delegates made short speeches, asking the conven- tion to hasten matters. A vote was“then taken on the Haskins amendment and it was voted down by a decisive majority. This left before the convention the orig- inal recommendations of the president. A number of resolutions were then offered, all relating to the manner the assessment should be made, One of Mr. Ryan's of Iilinols favored 10 per cent of the arnings of the mem- bers of the unfon; another, by Vice Presi- dent Lewls, 10 per cent of the gross earn- ings, and & third, by Secretary Wilson, suggested that in some districts the as. age basis ‘and In others on the basis of §1 per week. These were all pending when Secretary Wilson offered an amendment that the mat- ter be reterred to a committee made up of three of the highest officers of the na- tional organization and the presidents of the districts represented in the conven- tion. This prevailed and adjournment was taken until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. At the conclusion of the session Sec- retary Wilson eald: It will cost 350,000 weekly to support all the men now on strike In.the varios tricts. An_assessment of §1 bring In §250,000 a week, an assessment of $1_per week upon each member of the union will result in &bout the same sum. This will leave us $250,000 week from outside sources, and from the promises and offers that have been made we are confident we will be able to do week will This morning the sentiment among the delegates to the miners' convention was tully as strong as ever against a strike, and all danger of such an event is now passed. The anthracite men favoring a strike ad- mitted that there was no chance of a walk- out. They were helpless last night, when a majority of thelr own men were opposed 1o a strike, and this morning they came into the convention determined to stand s a unit by the recommendations of Pres- ident Mitchell. Thomas L. Nichols, president of district No. 1, anthracite, which was chiefly fnstru- mental in calling the convention, denied this morning that he had been in favor of & general strike. He sald: 1 never was personally in favor of & surtke, but, knowing how the majority of our people’ feel ould have voted for u general strike g the question had come be- ore the convention. Just now I guess it (Continued on Fi MJ ment offered by Delegato Haskins in the | where their strike has been sanctioned by | He declarea that | to raise each | INTENTION GOOi) ¥ for Defense in Noted Bank e Asserts His CHent Acted with Homest Motive. ANDREWS Attors (3 DETROIT, July 18.—Attarney Otto Kirch. ner contributed the leadifig feature today in the trial of Frank C. Abdrews, charged with misappropriating fuhds of the wrecked Ciy Savings bank, when in open- ing the case for the defense he stated that Andrews still belleved he was a very rich man and able to pay every cent he owes the wrecked bank. The impression had prevailed that Andrews had lost every- thing by speculating in Amalgamated Cop- per. “Mr. Andrews will go o0 the stand and tell that he hopes to repay every cent he owes the bank,” sald the attorney for the defense, addressing fhe jury, creating a ripple of surprise by the announcement that Andrews would take the witness Andrews aid mot intend to cheat the bank. He thought ke was a rich mao. He thinks o still.” The defense would show, he said, that Andrews did not kmow any more about the condition of the BABK than did the other directors and that there are enough securities in the hands of the receiver to pay all claims against Andrews. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Merriam | bad previously explained the manner in which Andrews' overdrafts were manipu- lated and cited the vamious checks drawn by, Andrews as evidende of Andrews' in- tent to get the funds of the bank and mis- apply them. “That is not all,” #&4 Mr. Merriam, pausing at one point im his narration of Andrews’ alleged traudulent operations. “I do not attempt to téll you all the dis- honest transactions of his man. Thers will be a time when all Wil be told. The proofs will show that Andrews wanted more money than he got.” The prosecutor declared that he would prove Andrews had Med to President Pin. gree in order to prevent discovery of his operations.

PREDICTS BIG CROP OF CORN Paul Morton Says Western Rallroads Will Be Kept Busy Ha; ling the Cereal. CHICAGO, July 18.—Paul Morton, first vice president of the Santa Fe road, predicts & bumper crop of corn for the west and the entiro country this season. He estimates the total crop of the country at 2,500,000,000 bushels, and declares that the rallroads of the west will bave all they can do to tal care of the increased traffic that will result therefrom. Mr. Morton’s estimate was made after & caretul survey of the situation supplemented by personal inspection of western etates traversed by the lines of the Santa Fe and by reports given him by agents of the com- pany in nearly every corn-bearing etate in the unton. “IL am convinced,” said Mr. Xorton today, “that this country will have the largest corn yleld in its history and that the high water mark of 2,500,000,000 will be exceeded | by at least 800,000,000 bush FATAL MISTAKE OF WOMAN His Brother for rs and Kills Both of Them.

WORRIES ARMY OFFICERS Orders Presoribing New Uniforms Entails Oonsiderable Expense Upon Them. TAILORS AND MANUFACTURERS HURT Congressman Mercer Enjoying Him- welt Along the Sea the Faithful in Omaha Walt. (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 18.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)—The recent order of Secretary Root whereby the army Is to be dressed in entire new uniforms has created consternation trom one end of the country to the other. The order means that every officer from lieutenants to major generals must purchase at once an entire new outfit. This will en- tail an expense of from $200 to $2,000 upon cach and every officer in the service. Many officers have just fitted out for the summer campaign and these will be absolutely use- less, not being fit even for civillan dress. Not only’ army officers, but military tailors are also protesting against the change be- cause they have placed orders with manu- facturers for cloth, buttons, insign shouller knots and other supplies, all of which will be useless to them. They, how- ever, must pay for goods they have ordered. One large milltary outfitter declared this afternoon that the change wiil entail & di- rect loss of at least $10,000 upon htm. No one can find out what induced the secretary to order thé change, but it js probable that protests will avail nothing and that the new uniforms must be purchased. Congressman Mercer continues to tarry i the east, although the “faithful” are walt- ing for his appearance in Omaha. Mercer bas been enjoying the ocean breezes at At lantic City, taking a measure of rest after the work of congress and preparatory to en- tering upon his campaign for renomination in the Second Nebraska district.

WASHINGTON, July 18.—A report treat- ing in an interesting way of the commer- clal situation in South Africa was made public at the State department today. It is from United States Consul General Bingham at Capetown and s dated May 28." He says al) enterprises will be started anew, farms fepaired and restocked and machinery bought, and that it will not be | possible to get goods into the interior fast enough to meet the demand that will arise. All nations, Mr. Bingham says, are awaiting this coming trade and are pre paring for it by establishing direct lines | of ocean transportation, except the United \ | States, which, barring an occasional freight steamer, has no direct connection with Cape Colony. The United States, he ships to Cape Colony more than twice as much goods as any other country, except Great Britain. “As British sub| war debt to pay,’ very naturally think will have a great ys the consul, “‘they that the trade of leave nothing undone to retaln it. We cannot always depend solely on the su- perior quality of our goods. Greater effort on our part is necessary.’” UNITED STATES NOT ASKED Government Not Expected Represented at Anti-Trust Con- ference Proposed by O; to Be WASHINGTON, July 18.—The govern- ment of the United States has not received an invitation to participate in the antis trust conference proposed by the czar. The government was not concerned officially in the international sugar conference at Brussels, to which the projected confer- ence is a patural supplement. Therefors it is not belleved that its participation in this s expected. However, it would be clearly impossible for the United States government to enter into any undertaking with foreign govern- ments concerning such important matters as trade regulations and especielly involy- o0 international regulation of tariffs It is felt that congress would never sur- render any part of its constitutional au- thority to regulate these matters, eo that even If the United States should attend the projected conference through a proper rep- resentative no action could be taken that would in the slightest sense bind the gov- ernment.

At Atlantic City yesterday a party of miners took pos- session of a band of sheep owned by Wil- ltam Scarlet and drove the auimals across the Indian trall to Twin Creek. The min- ers were armed with pistols and rifies and covered the herders while moving the sheep. No violence was attempted. Scarlet had been warned to not cross the dead-line and enter the mining camps, but he ignored the miners. No further trouble s anticipated here. Serious trouble is imminent in the New Fork country south of Lander. It is |alleged that the camp outfits of Jewell & Wipper ot Rock Springs were burned a few daye ago and the sheep badly scattered. A large gang of cattlemen of the New Fork country moved down on the sheep camp and after driving the herders away committed the depredation. The sheep were over the dead-1ine and their owners had been warned repeatedly to stay out of the cattle coun- try. The sheepmen have threatened to re- taliate and there may be bloodshed.

The list of men employed in the Owmaha and Councli Blufts shops was disclosed, showing a total of 689 men. Of (his number 427 are employed in the motive power department, leaving the remainder for the car shops and other departments where the men did not stril The company's books show that before the strike the maximum force employed In these shops was 975. The ofMcials’ records show that of those shopmen in Omaha who struck, eighteen were blacksml! thirteen macbinists and twelve bollers makers. The rest, they contend, were from the helpers and handymen forces. There are now sixty-one skilled ma- chinists at work, as against ninety-five original thirteen bollermakers, and ths company wants three more; seven black- smiths, which is about ten short of the normal force. These are all skilled men. The larger figures represent the handy- men and helpers, as well as skilled me- chanics in departments outside of the mo- tive power. In the car shops, the engine carpenter shops and the babbit department, full forces are at work. These men did not strike. The blacksmith shop is running as againet sixteen, the original ut four more will be started in probably Monday. The boller- makers are working away at six engines, one of which will leave the house today. It was run into the shops about Jume 10 and has been thoroughly renovated. This will make the third engine to leave the repair shops within a week. Another ome will be ready for release within a couple of days. Thus the work in this depa ment is proceeding with facllity, remark- ably so, the foremen say, under the cir- cumstances. Machine Shops Busiest. The machine shops present the buaieat lbyul’lflx- While of course the whirt and din may not be ms great as whes normal force was at work, there is no suggestion of idleness or stagnation, and 80 far as a layman can judge, things are moving along with rapld and steady mo- tion. The workmen in this, as well as seem to understand thelr business and are recelving the com- mendation of thelr superiors. Superintendent McKeen and Master Me- chanic Barpum, who joined the visitors at the shops, pointed out with considerable pride one young man who was putting in his first day's work making bolts in the | blacksmith shop. He was turning out bolts at the rate of 1,000 or 1,100 a day, for which | he would recetve 28 cents & hundred, plece- work. Other men working upon the plec work ale were sald to be making pro- portionately good wages and there was mo evidence of dissatisfaction or complaint. “We have discovered some rare workmen and others of promising skill and ability among these new men who are facetiously reterred to as ‘scabs’ "’ sald the officials. They sald they had no roam for complaint at the character of wark belng turned out. Get Board and Lodging. All the new shopmen arg-boarded and given thelr lodging by the company. Bkilled workmen get 32 eents an hour and their 1iving. Temporary quarters were improvised with Pullman coaches in which the men sleep, and cabooses and freight cars, where they eat and bathe. Bath rooms have been arranged in a couple of boxcars. The oars stand on tracks where the air can get on all sides of them and the sleeping quarters are therefore especially comfortable. The officials say that every convenience and ac- commodation is provided to facilitate the men's lot. ‘The new pattern shops, which are nearly completed, are to be fixed up within the next few days for living quarters for the men instead of the cars now occupled. A thick board flooring is being lald on the ground floor which will be the cooking and eating. apartment and the upstairs will be equipped for sleeping quarters. This bulld- ing is well ventilated and screens are to be placed upon all the windows so a&s to allow air to pass in and out without being accompanied by flles and other insects, divers specles of which seem to infest that particular part of the country. Forces in Other Shops. Besides the force in the Omaha shops the company’s chart showing those at work in other places was revealed. At Cheyenne there are 298 men In the motive power departments. The 132 carmen therefore brings the total for Cheyenne up to 430, as compared with 508, the normal force, and 244 the numb t work July 11. At Arm- strong the force is of normal size and me: applying for work are being turned awsy almost daily, the officials say. The lMst from North Platte shows 209 men at work, as compared with 278, the origipal num- ber. Here is where some of the most serious difficulty has been bad in keeping the men in line, but the officlals feel cer- tain the force will not be depreciated, but, on the other bhand, “will continue to grow until it reaches its normal size. These pumbers at North Platte do not include the carmen, who, of course, did net strike. The Union Pacific officials express their satisfaction with the progress of aftairs and still persistently afirm that thelr in- tefy are not suffering from the strike. They maintain that many of the strikers themselves are deluded as to the actusal cou- aitions. “l cannot understand’ tendent McKeen, “why the strike leaders persist in de ing thelr own men o the number of men at work in the i ent shops. Certaluly these men who are directing this fight ought to be sware of the conditions in the shops i, they what object they have in misleading thetr fellow-strikers is more thas I ecsa concelve of.
