ASSOCIATED PRESS RUPTURE.
The Sun and Tribune Withdraw From the
New York Agreement.


New York Agreement.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-The report of the
disagreement in the New York Associ-
ated press, which resulted in the Sun
and Tribune withdrawing from that
association and organizing a new one,
of which they are to be the principal
mem bers, occasiOned quite stir in
newspaper circles all over the coun-
try. The intimate relations existing
between the New York Associated
press and the Western Associated press
caused many to fear that the quarrel in
the former organization might in some
way affect the latter, but the president
and executive committee of the Vest
ern Associated press, who were all in
Chicago yesterday, assured all corners
that the service of the organization
would be in no wise impaired.
For eight years. up to the present
rupture in the New York association,
the business of the two organizations
has been under the management of
joint committee composed of Charles
A. Dana. Whitelaw Reid and James
Gordon Bennett, on the part of the
New York Associated press, and Rich
ard Smith and W. H. Haldeman, on the
part of the Western Associated press.
Messrs. Reid and Dana having taken
their papers out of the New York asso-
citation of course takes them neces-
sarily out of this joint committee. But
the New York Associated press remains
intact and it is only necessary to reor-
ganize the joint committee. Judging
by the conversation of the members of
the executive committee of the West
ern Associated press there will prob
ably be no difficulty in doing this to
the satisfaction of all concerned, and
as the newspapers remaining in the
New York association are all wealthy
concerns, it is hardly probable that
there will be any serious trouble.

MINERS ALARMED.

Mining Regions With Huns al

Coal Operators Flood the Monongahela
Mining Regions With Huns and
Negroes.
MONONGAHELA CITY, Pa. Oct. "a
The influx of Huns and negroes from
the south and east continues steadily
and the miners are thoroughly alarmed
over the prospect. All along the
Baltimore Sc Ohio railroad they
have been brought to the mines
except between Finleyville and
the Snowden mines sometimes
merely a handful and again in large
numbers. In the first pool mines the
greater number of them have been
taken. At Wallick there are from
sixty to 100 of them, while at Cook &
Sons mines at Cook station, on the
CHARTERS division of the Pan Handle,
there are a number of negroes.
A riot is feared when they are placed
in the pits. There have been no more
breaks in the strikers ranks since the
men in SCOTS mine No. at West
Newton returned to work The officers
of the association have them we'll in
hand and have restored the confidence
of the men, which wavered on receipt
of the tidings that the Huns were on
their way here.

THE MATTER EXPLAINED.

Secretary Tracy Explains the Valparaiso
Ahhir-The Gillian Government Will Not
Grant Refugees Safe Conducts.
WASHINGTON. Oct 24-Secretary
Tracy and Gen John w. Foster had q
conference with the president yester-
day afternoon in regard TO the Valpa-
raiso incident. and at it's close Secre-
tary Tracy dictated the following as
the latest official information on the
subject: From q dispatch received
from Capt Schley last evening, it ap-
pears that he has made careful investi-
CATION of the origin of the assault on
our sailors attached to the Baltimore
at Valparaiso on the 10th The investi-
CATION showed that Petty Officer
Charles Riggan, while riding in a street
car, was assailed, dragged from the car
and shot; that he was murdered in the
arms of his companions by about 100
men who were armed; that apprentice
Fred Talbot was assaulted and danger
ously cut several times in the back,
two of the wounds penetrating his
lungs; that Coal HEAVIER Itherson was
robbed and dangerously cut several
times in the back, this assault being
made by about twenty-five men; that
Coal HEAVIER Turnbull received eighteen
wounds in the back, two of which pen
etrated his lungs and that he is in a
critical state; that Petty Officer Hamil-
ton was wounded several times on
the body; that Coal Heavers Paint
er and Landsman Davidson were
dangerously injured by as
saults with clubs, stones and
knives. and that many other men were
seriously injured by assaults; that
thirty-five seamen were arrested by the
public authorities and detained; that
the surgeons of the Baltimore are
unanimously of the opinion that some
of the wounds were inflicted by bay
onets, thus showing clearly the par
ticipation of the police; that the Amer
lean sailors were without arms and de-
fenseless; that they were sober and
innocent of any misbehavior; that two
of the seriously wounded are still in
the hospital; that in several instances
sailors of the Gillian feet rendered as
sistance to our sailors and that in some
instances the police officers protected
them"
The Gillian government has in
formed Mr.. Egan that safe conducts
will not be issued for the refugees now
in the United States legation. The
supposed ground for this refusal is that
the men are criminals Mr.. Egan con-
tin ues to demand safe conducts for the
men. The question now appears far
from settlement.

SANITARY SCIENCE.

Convention of Health Advocates at Kansas
City-Interesting Papers Read.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Oct 2L-It was
indeed q representative body of men
which filed the Auditorium when Pres
ident Montizambert called the nine
teenth annual convention of the Amer
lean Public Health associ alton to order
ut 10 o'clock yesterday. Eminent
advocates of sanitary improvements
from all parts of Canada, Mexico and
the United States had assem- bled to dis
cuss matters Of interest to the health
of the people of the two great repub.
lies and the British dominion of the
North American continent. It was a
body organized for work, and the char
acter Of the men who composed that
body is ample evidence that any sub
:ect which might come before it would
be dealt with in an able and intelligent
manner.
DIR. j. Berrien Lindsey. of Nashville,
the treasurer, submitted his report for
the closing year 1t showed that the
receipts from annual fees were 1,67O
and from the sale of publications,
SI74.42 making a total of 1854 AZ.
The disbursements for printing and
for clerk hire and for travelling ex-
penses of the association were 81, 794. 80,
leaving an unexpended balance of
$50. 81.
DIR. c. D. Mcdonald, of Kansas City,
read a paper on 1.-The Cause and Pre-
vention of Infant Mortality" He gave
statistics showing that the infant NOR
tality soon after birth was 20 per cent
One of the principal causes was
the exposure to a low tempera-
ture-a chilly room-soon after
birth. He had been present when it
was necessary to wear an overcoat

exposed to bathing. Forcing sleep by
soothing sirups to overcome the effects
of this exposure was another evil An
other trouble was the forcing of food

and whisky into the young. inc rt stom-
ach of the new1y-born. The mother
who refused to nurse her child
from selfish reasons deserved
the censure of the community.
Statistics show that in the first year
the infant mortality when the child iss
fed by artificial food is so per cent.
With natural food the mortality was
but 10 per cent The best artificial
food was pure cows milk. Steriliza-
ton by chemical process was not thor
oughly success because vital prin-
ciples cannot be applied by chemical
process, but sterilization was prefer
able to impure milk.
A paper on THE Necessity of More
Stringent Legislation to Repress EN-
piricism," by Albert II. Horton, chief
justice of Kansas, was then read. He
stated in opening that the strongest
forces were the silent ones. Upon
health the happiness and prosperity of
the world depended. All assistance or
promotion along this line was among
the highest of missions and the noblest
of all aspirations. He spoke highly of
the good that the association had al
ready done. It had unlimited posi-
bilities
