It seems to | us that many of the conditions complair- |ed of—and which have been the.subject | of the explanation—might be better rem- .cdied by the parties to the controversy approaching the subject in the. proper spirit and with the purpose of fairiy ad- justing them.

Of course, in the meantime we shall pro- ceed with the work before us as we have begun it.” ADJOURNMENT ORDERED. After this announcement Everett War- ren of counsel for the Pennsylvania Coal Company and the Hiliside Coal and Iron Company stated the difficulty of his com- pany in being able to present their pay- rclls and other evidence in a brief time, and approved of an adjournment of a | week or ten days. This was all agreed to, and in order to give all parties an op- | portunity to confér on the state of af- fairs an adjournment was taken at 12:45 | until to-morrow. morning. It is probable | the suggestion for a week or ten days’ adjournment will be adopted. During the entire proceedings the matter of a set- tlement was not spoken of, except what was contained in the commission’s an- nouncement. | It was learned to-night that all large companies have not yet assented to the proposed outside agreement, but that in all probability they will consent and continue,to work as a unit, as they did during the strike. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, it is un- derstood, has not yet been heard from of the matter. Those who are said to be in the agreement scheme are the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western; the Lehigh Valley; the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie Company, which controls the Penn- | sylvania Coal Company and the Hillside Coal and Iron Company. The attorney for some of the other companies are hou | ly expecting to hear from the head offi- | cials of the corporations they represent. There is a wide difference of = opinion as to whether the proposal to settle the differences among themselves will meet with, success. As a general proposition | it is believed by the officers that it will | succeed, but that some of the controver- | sial points will have to go before the arbi- | trators. It has been realized that at least two of the four demands of the miners— that of the uniform wage scale and weighing of coal—cannot be satisfactorily | settied in the hearing room, but must be fixed at the mines. There are more than | 360 collieries, and there are hardly any two of them alike. SPECULATION ON RESULTS. It is argued by the operators that there | must be a different scale for each one, on account of the varying conditions, and that a uniform wage scale, which is one of the miners’ demands, is impossible, Re- gardi the weighing of coal the opera- tors y that it would be impossible to grant the demands as presented by the miners, because of the non-existence of. machinery or system by which a miher can be paid for the 2440 pounds of pre- pared coal. It will have to be done, they say, through the present system of aver- ages. | The proposition is to have the mine workers make contracts with their em- ployers only and not as it is done in the | bituminous States, where the operators have State or district organizations which | recognize the United Mine Workers of America. The proposed contfact with each | zompany does not carry with it a recogni- | | tion of the union and on that ground it is not likely that the two parties will be able to settle without resort to the arbi- tration commission, It is not doubted that | whatever agreement, it one is reached, will be approved by the commission. The agreement, however, will have o be one | that will provide for a reasonably sure permanent seftlement. The instructions | given to the commissioners by President | Roosevelt when he handed the case to | them to settle, are explicit. ructions he said: “You will endeavor to establish the re- lation between the employers and the wage workers in the anthracite regions on a just and permanent basis and as far as possible to do away with any causes for the recurrence of such diffi- culties as those which you have been called in to settle.” INSTRUCTOR ARRESTED WHILE TEACHING PUPILS In these in- the | B POLTICINS LLBE CALLED President to Consult Re- publicans on the Message. Questions of the Trusis ard the Tariff Must Be Decided. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2L—Every mem- ber of the Cabinet was present at to- day’s meeting. It was ‘comparatively brief, lasting only about an hour. At its conclusion it was stated that no business of -serious consequence was transacted, although some subjects of Iimportance were considered briefly. Secretary Hay brought with him some documents relating’ to the sgatus of the negotiations pending with Colombia with respect to the Panama canal treaty.. He reported the status of the negotiations, and it is stated the President will not be able to say in his message that he is ready to submit to Congress a treaty with Colombia in aceordance with the Spooner act. Some portions of the President’s forth- eoming message to Congress were consid- ered, but as the features of the document °concerning which a division of - opinion might arise have not been prepared defl- nitely and will not be until the President shall have had time further to discuss them with the leaders in both branches of Congress little respecting the message was accomplished. It is understood that the message will be sent to Congress on the second day of the approaching session, Tuesday, De-" cember 2, owing to the fact that the deaths of members of both houses have occurred during the recess, which will necessitate an adjournment on Monday. The document is almost completed, but some points of it are yet to be written finally and the wholé revised. During the early days of next week the President will consult on parts of his messgge with Republican leaders in Con- gress. Several of the leaders in both branches of Congress have been invitéd by the President to call on him at the. execu- tive offices next Monday. He will-discuss with them the features of the message relating to trusts and the tariff. The President hopes, as a result of his con- ference with Republican leaders, to fa- cilitate the work of the approaching ses- slon of Gongress and pave the way for a reconciliation of any differences that may arise between the two houses. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts took luncheon with the President to-day, and they discussed freely some of the impor- tant features of the President’s message. OUTLAW CHACON DIES i PROTESTING INNOCENCE Arizona Desperado Mounts Gallows Gamely in the Prison at " Solomonville. SOLOMONVILLE, Arlz., Nov. 2l.— Agustin Chacon, the outlaw, was hanged here to-day. The trap was sprung at 1 o'clock and twelve minutes later he was pronounced dead. Chacon died gamely, protesting his innocence of the crime of which he was convicted. The Mexican consul tried hard tg save his neck through an appeal to his superiors at Washington, but no word was received bringing a re- prieve. The condemned man was at- tended by a priest and the hanging was conducted by Sheriff Parks, who had aid- ed in the plans for his capture. About 100 persons witnessed the execution, which was without sensational features. When Chacon ascended the gallows he spoke for thirty minutes. His remarks were disconnected and made through an interpreter. He commended the officials who tied him and who have had him in charge since his sentence. As the cap was being adjusted he said loudly, “Adios, eamigos,” and straightened up for the drop, giving the Sheriff the signal to spring the trap. i e STy LONDON, Nov. 21.—Sir Richard J, Cart- wright, Minister of Trade and Commerce of the Dcminion of Canada, has been made a Privy Councilor. BRITONS ARE IN DOUBT ' ABOUT THE KING’S GIFT Proposed Transfer of Osborne House, Victoria’s Celebrated Residence on the Isle of Wight, to the Nation Is the Subject of Some Sharp Criticism in House of Commons + 1 ONDON, Nov. 21.—The Osborne estate bill, providing for the transfer to the nation of the Os- borne House estate, Isle of Wight, from King Edward, whose prop- erty it became under the will of the late Queen Victoria, passed its second reading in the House of Commons this afternoon after some criticism reflecting the feel- ing on the subject in royal circles, in which there has been much agitation ever since the King first proposed to present the Osborne House estate.to the nation. Queen, Victoria’'s will has never been L3 DISTINGUISHED BRITISH MINIS- TER AND THE SOVEREIGN WHO ~ OCCUPIED OSBORNE HOUSE. + published, but there is very high author- ity for saying thdt the bequest was not her idea. As a matter of fact, she left the property to the King for life, with it ultimately going to the Prince of Wales. Failing the latter, the property was to 80 to her daughters or to the Prince of ‘Wales’ heirs. The King, however, in- sisted on giving it to the nation as a memorial, During the course of the discussion in Parliament to-day Richie, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, admitted that the bill was at variance with the will and wishes of the late Queen, and said that “‘but for that, the bill would not have been neces- sary.” All the pictures, statuary and other ar- ticles of value and the historic properties have been removed. These include the comtents of the Prince Consort’s room, which Queen Victoria left untouched as it Walter Collins, Formerly of San Francisco, Is Accused of Ob- taining Money Falsely. CHICAGO, Nov. 21.—A class in physical culture was interrupted last night by the arrest of the instructor, Walter F. Col- lins, by Detective Duffy of the Hyde { Park police station. Clad in regulation gymnasium costume, six women were re- celving instructions at the home of Mrs. Annette Davis in Hyde Park when De- tective Duffy appeared on the scene. Shrieks arose from the women as they made haste to leave the room. | Collins was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Miss Margaret E. Davison, a mu- slc teacher, charging him with obtaining money by false pretenses. Collins asserts that he came to Chicago two months ago with the intention of starting -several physical culture classes. He is a native of San Francisco, where he says he was instructor of the San Francisco Athletic Club. Arriving in Chicago, he advertised for a woman assistant. Miss Davison answered the advertisement, and was told, it is said, that she could buy an intercst in the business for $3. According to Miss Davison, Collins received $35 from her three weeks ago.. At the time he says he was busy organizing his classes and Miss Davison did not hear from him. She swore out the warrant for his arrest. His bail was fixed at $1000, and he was un- able to furnish this. He was taken be- fore Justice Charlton, Where his case was continued until November 24. —_— Masked Men Rob Postmaster.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—Commission- er of Indian Affairs Jones in his annual report estimates that the Government from its foundation to 18%0 spent $845,2 290 In fighting, subduing and civilizing the Indians of the country and $240,000,000 for the education and care of their children. ““The demoralizing effects of the ration | systém evil,”” says the Commissioner, in explaining his policy of abolishing that system, ‘“were generally recognized and universally condemned, except, perhaps, by a mistaken philanthropy which, ignor- ing the natural law that man must earn his -living by the sweat of his brow, would exempt. the Indian from labor ard carry him upward on flowery beds of ease. It was felt that it was time for a change. Heretofore 'dealing has been with the tribe; it is now with the indi- vidual. FHis manhood is appealed to and he is to be taught self-reliance and self- respect and to put his hand to the plow. | Nothing is further from the truth than | the assertion that the plan is to hire out adult male Indians as contract laborers. | The result of the policy has been favor- able even beyond expectations, and there is every reason to belleve that the final success of the plan, if carried out judi- cicusly, Is assured. As a first result more than 12,000 have been dropped from the ration roll, being wholly self-supporting. As a second result, a large number of In- cians have been put to work or work has been found for them.” Concerning the order directing agents to encourage the discontinuance of the Indian custom of wearing long the | SCOTT’S EMULSION. What Consumpiion Means To-day. There was a time when that word consumption struck terror to the stoutest heart. It need not do so now. In the light of present knowledge consumption is always to be considered hopefully. We all know that when the little consumption germs have once gained a foothold in the lung tissue there is no one remedy which will di- rectly destroy them or drive them out. The only thing that will eventually dislodge them is an abundant supply of rich blood throughout the whole body and particularly in the lungs. This will build up healthy tissue in which the germs cannot live. To get this needed supply of good blood, and keep it pure, there are many things to do and you must try todo them all. Liveall day in the sunshine and air. Sleep all night in a room that gets plen- ty of both. Keep warm. Don’t use up one extra ounce of energy. Rest a great deal | Learn how to breathe. And | above all take regular, abund- hair, painting, etc., Jones says. the Te- | ant nourlshment. ports on the subjeet by the agents are | all in and that the consensus of opinion expressed Is “that it is a step forward and In the right direction.” The report advocates that agencies and portions of agencles be placed under the charge, of bonded superintendents of training schools, a policy already started wherever practicable and according to the Commissioner glving better adminis- tration than when the same agencies were under the control of political ap- pointees. The total cost of Indian schools during the figcal year was $3,637,785, or $138 rer capita. This amount maintained 249 schools, with an enrollment of 134,434 p pils, and in addition a number of pupils at Hampton, Va., institute, and at pup- lic schools. ACTORS AND ACTRESSES WILL AID SICK FRIENDS Proposition for the Establishment of Hospital Receives Much Generous Aid. DENVER, Nov. 21.—The plans which were made by a number of the prominent actors and actresses of the country to establish a sanatorium fer consumptive players have met with hearty approval wherever the idea has been explained. It is intended to build a large sana- torium either in Colorado or Arizona. In order that this plan may take definite shape, it is suggested that a committee be formed in every city of the United | States in order that the central commit- | tee, which will have headquarters in New York City, can have means of keeping in communication with all parts of the country. There are doubtless many pro- fessionals who can contribute valuable ideas for the furtherance of this plan and | they are invited to send these suggestions | for publication in the dramatic papers | and elsewhere in order that when the committee gets down to an actual work- ing basis it may have the advantage of | all available material. | The chief executive committes will be | composed of the most prominent man- | agers and professional people in the coun- try and they will transact all the business and handle all the funds connected with | the enterprise. existed during his life, In announcing the gift of the Osborne his coronation, King Edward expressed | the hope that it would be devoted to na- | tional purposes and be converted into a | convalescent home for officers of the | navy and army whose health had been | impaired in rendering Rervices to their country. NOTED BORDER WOMAN DIES IN AN ASYLUM | Passing of Mollie Monroe, Who Rode | the Arizona Range in Man’s Attire. PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 2L.—With the passing of Molly Monroe, who died in the insane asylum here yesterday, ends the career of one of the historical and pic- turesque characters of the southwest. She came originally from Mississippi and at old. . Every step in the preparation of H-O makes it better —better to look at, better to tege, better for nourishment—than other kinds, When cooked it has separate grains like rices . Mollie Monroes was a wonderfully well preserved woman in all respects except her mental weakness, and until very re- cent years loved to join in the dances giv- en for the patients in the asylum. She is said to have been in her early life a remarkably handsome woman, and Hher affairs of the heart in days now forgot- ten were the foundation of jealousies that laid more than one man in his coffin through the deadly work of knife or bul- let. Molly Monroe came to Arizona in the early ploneer days, dressed as a man, rid- ing the range with cowboys or working with the miners in the gold diggings. She was open-hearted, liberal to a fault, and loved children. Whenever she came, to ! town about-the first thing she did was to buy large quantities of candy and pro- vide every child she met with a suppiy. She nearly always wore men's clothing, for the reason that it was more comfort- able on horseback, and was in this respect Arizona's first ‘“new woman.” An incident with which perhaps her name will be longest connected was the discovery of the celebrated Castle Creek Hot Springs, in which she was entitled to at least half honors with her husband, George Monroe, with whom she was rid- ing the range. e John Cole’s Murderer Hanged.
