STRIKE Is STILL on.
Kanawha Valley Miners and Oper-
|. atOrs Reached No Agreements.

Charleston, w. Va, Oct. 1.-THE eff
forts to adjust the differences between
the coal operators of the Kanawha val
ley and their men has failed absolutely,
and President Ratchford left tonight for
Columbia, disheartened over his failure.
Two conferences were held today be-
tween Il committee of miners, including
President RatchfOrd, and Il committee of
operators The price offered by the
operators was 60 cents for soft and 80
ccrts for hard coal. The miners accept
ed this, but when the question of Il signed
agreement to bind all the operators was
presented they objected. They wanted
the owner of each individual mine to
make and sign Il separate contract. This
was the first disagreement, and the sec
ond was on Il demand made by the
miners that the men should not be dis
eliminated against for not dealing at the
company store. The operators refused
to agree to this, and the conference was
at an end.
President Ratchford feels bitter to-
wards the operators. He said he came
here fully determined to settle the strike
in some way. The miners, he said.
conceded nearly every vital point, and he
was convinced that the operators were
determined TO fight the organization in
West Virginia He says the fight will
be continued on the part of the miners.

Attorney Vincent, chief counsel for the

vigorously attacked the, police officials

FOR TELLING PLAIN TRUTHS.
London Paper CriticiZes Herbert
GladstOne's Recent Venezuelan
Remarks.

London. Oct 1.-THE afternoon news.
papers today take the same views of
Secretary Sherman's dispatch to the
Marquis of Salisbury on the sealing con
ference question as expressed by the
morning papers. The st. James Gazette
says: -.
ut will be a relief if this transatlantic
Polonius is restricted in the future to
playing the fool in his home and the
foreign affairs of his country are trans
ferred into more capable hands. But we
need not count upon this too confidently.
We. ourselves. allowed an elderly states
man to play tricks in the nations name
with national interests for many long
year"
The st. James Gazette taunts Mr.. Her
bert Gladstone with Copying Secretary
Sherman's manner" in which Mr.. Glad
stone said that the Venezuelan question
would not have been neacefully settled if
there had been no United States con-
cerned. adding that in the latter case
tour ironclads would have been sent
there and our troops would have made
short work of the Venezuelan question
but the United States appeared on the
scene and the virtues of arbitration be-
came obviously apparent"

Mexican Traffic Arrangements.

Chicago, Oct. 14-Traffic officials of
the Mexican railroads and of the vari-
Gus steamship companies interested in
Mexican traffic moving via gulf ports or
Rio Grande crossings met today at the
Auditorium hotel. American lines
which have connections with them were
also represented. The meeting was call
ed to discuss the subject of differentialss
between the all-rail lines and the rail
and water lines. The present adjust
ment has caused much dissatisfaction,
and the conclusion arrived at by the
convention was that the problem was of
such intricacy that arbitration was the
proper means of solution. Each of the
respective interests will be allowed to
select one arbitrator, these two to select
a third. Their decision must be made
prior to January 1, and until then the
present system of adjustment will be
ntained.
