The End of the Struggle Is
in Sight
EXECUTIVE BOARD AGREES
MINERS EXPECTED TO ACCEPT
THE OFFER
A Circular Issued Stating That the
Terms Are the Best to Be
Secured at Present

Associated Press Special Wire.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept. s.-The end Of
the great miners strike is in sight. The
afternoon the national executive board
Of the United Mine Workers agreed to
recommend to the miners proposition
from the Pittsburg operators for .
straight price of 65 cents a ton, to con-
tinue in force until the end of the year,
with the additional mutual understand
ing that joint meeting OF operators
and miners shall be held in December.
1897, for the purpose of determining what
the rate of mining shall be thereafter.
A delegate convention of all miners
who have suspended work has been called
to meet in Columbus September 8, at 10
a. M, to act upon the recommendation
President Ratchford and the other men,
bers of the board say there Is not the
slightest doubt but that the miners will
approve the recomme mendation. The prop
osition does not involve arbitration, and
it provides for an immediate settlement
Of the strike.
AS soon as the miners ratify the prop.
osition, work will be resumed in all the
mines.
This morning the operators commit
tee renewed it's first proposition for
64-cent rate, pending arbitration. This
was again rejected by the miners board.
Then the operators committee got to-
gether and submitted new proposition
for a straight price of 65 cents After
long discussion it was accepted by the
miners board, subject to the approval
of the miners al large.
Tonight the national executive board
of the United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca issued a circular to all members, in
which they report the result of the con-
ference with the operators, and formally
call the delegate convention to be held
in Columbus next Wednesday. The cir
cular strongly recommends that the
proposition of the operators be accept
ed. and it states that in the judgment
of the board it is the best that can be
secured, because of circumstances that
are apparent to all who study market
conditions since the Inauguration OF the
strike"

Wriothesley Russell Ward was 40 years
Of age and came to this coast about ten
years ago as a n employee of the Atlantic
and Pacific Fibre company. The prin-
cipal promoter of this corporation was
the London Daily Telegraph" and most
of it's hackers were English capitalists.
Its object was the raising of yucca, from
which to manufac cture paper. The inten-
tion was to harvest the yucca fibre, shred
it and ship it to England to take the
place of pulp. A large tract of land was
bought near Lancaster, in Los Angeles
county, and much money was expended
in the enterprise. Russell Ward through
the friendship and influence of Levy
Lawson of the Telegraph" was ap-
pointed at a good salary to the post of
superintendent at the mill and offices Of
the company located at Ravenna. The
venture was complete failure.
Mr.. Ward at that time was handsome
young fellow of easy, affable manner,
and evidently accustomed to move in

and about nine years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Bandini. Almost imme-
diately after the wedding Ward and his
bride went to London and lived there
for about five years. He became mem
ber of the London stock board and oper-
ated there with the firm Of Thornhill &
Sons. Four years ago the couple re-
turned to this country and took up their
residence in Santa Monica, attracting no
particular attention and living appar-
emily happy, quiet, married life, until
the sensational elopement of last June,
which effectively ruined the happiness
of one family and temporarily disturbed

WARDS CAREER
His Final Act May Have Been From
Delirium Tremens

The news of Wards tragic end caused
considerable sensation in the city and
no little CONSERVATION among his circle
of friends. A friend of Wards, who saw
him in San Francisco a short time ago,
said last night: Poor devil. l am not
much surprised and perhaps it is the best
thing that could have happened to him.
Since this mess, he has been drinking
heavily and I expect events will prove
that this was the enc, of an attack of
delirium tremens. Ward was a quiet,
and till this wretched business, an in
offensive fellow"
john T. Gaffey. who was Ward S
brother-in in-laW, was seen at the Caiifor-
MIA club yesterday afternoon. He said:
Il am naturally very much shocked at
this news l think Ward was demented.
l received telegram from him yester-
day, dispatched while en- route east,
which confirmed my impression that he
was mentally unbalanced The dispatch
was as follows:
"Am liable to rearrest See VIM Brad
bury. Must see wife and children first"
There was, of course, no possibility
of Wards rearrest. and the incoherence
of the message is further shown by the
fact that there is no VIM. Bradbury"
Ward was on his way to England to
effect a reconciliation with his wife, who
has been staying with his parents in
London. Mis-. Ward had, as soon as she
heard of her husbands escapade, abled
him $4,000, which nabled him to pay the
expenses of his trial and also to settle
with all his creditors, which, it is said,
he cad in full before leaving California.

caution some weeks ago to revoke the

PRINCE LUIGI SILENT
REGARDING THE ASCENT OF MT
ST. ELIAS
He Will Write a Little Book Which
Will Be Read With Much
Interest

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Herald
says: Prince Luigi of Savoy, Duke OF
Abruzzi and nephew Of the King of Italy,
Is at the Waldorf, having reached this
city after accomplishing the feat of
climbing to the summit of Mount ST.
Elias.
Concerning his achievement, Prince
Luigi is very modest. He has avoided
conversing about the character of TIE
work he and his party had to perform
scientific facts he had added to the for
mer knowledge of the mountain. When
he returns to Italy he will prepare a
monologue regarding his experiences,
which WILL it is said, be a great value to
the scientific world Interested in the
study of phenomena of great attitudes.
This monologue will be accompanied by
photographs, which were taken by the
party, of various stages of the journey
Some Of these, most notably those which
were obtains d at elevations of more thar
$4,000 feet, have no equals, it is said, in
the world. The negatives are in the per-
cOnal possession of the Prince, who prizes
them as the most valuable Of his trophies
of Mount st. Elias. They will be devel-
oped in Italy, and until then Prince Luigi
declines to even converse about them.
Chevalier Cagni was the Prince S
spokesman. He was enthusiastic over
the expedition. When asked how his
party had been received by the. citizens OF
Seattle, he smiled, as though the recol-
lection was humorous. why" he said
"they received us with the utmost cour-
tesy, but none Of them believed we would
succeed. Sc many had attempted the
ascent and abandoned it, you know. We
were told of all kinds of dangers which
we would certainly encounter, but we
went ahead, and we succeeded"
did you encounter many great diff
culties?''
Frankly, no. The greatest difficulty
was the question of transportation Of
food. 1t was necessary we should take

latter had challenged his rival to fight
duel. At the same time vague stories
or rupture between Colonel Bradbury
and his wife were bruited about, but
were strenuously denied by Bradbury.
Matters came to a climax on June 30th
last when Mrs Bradbury eloped with
Ward to this city. Upon their arrival
they startled the community by openly
admitting their folly and defying public
opinion by the most shameless conduct.
Their career, however was cut short
by their arrest upon the charge Of adul-
terry at the instance of the Society for
Prevention of Vice. Mrs Bradbury was
released upon her own recognizance by
Police Judge Low, but in default of bail
Ward spent one night in Jail. When the
cases came up for hearing that against
Mrs. Bradbury was dismissed, and with
her mother she at once left for Chicago,
where she was met by her husba nd, who
was en- route to Europe with his mother.
reconciliation was effected and the
couple went to New York, whence they
departed for Mexico, where they now are.
When the matter came up for hear
ing on August rs Wards attorney raised
the point that the information agains:
him was insufficient to warrant his be-
ing held to answer, and on Saturday
August 27, Superior Judge Cook sus.
tained this contention and ordered that
Ward be dismissed. AS he was financially
embarrassed, and, in fact. had been de-
pendent upon the money raised upon such
jewelry as Mrs. Bradbury had taken
with her at the time of her elopement
his wife, who was visiting relatives in
England, sent him the necessary funds
with which to conduct his defense and
defray his expenses to England in the
event of his acquittal.
