WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 1a.-Be-
cause some of the details OF the order
were not complete. Secretary Bliss was
unable to lay before the cabinet at to-
days meeting. his proposition to revoke
the order made by President Cleveland,
closing some OF the pension agencies,
There was good deal OF talk over ap-
pointments, and as result the sending
OF the big list of consular nominations
to the senate was delayed, In order that
few names might be added.
The currency commission message did
not cause any discussion because It Is
now understood that the President Is
settled In his determination 10 send II TO
Congress, and only awaits notice from
the party leaders as to the time when
this can be done without Interfering
with the programme arranged for the
disposition OF the tariff bill The Prcsl-
dent himself does not believe that the
sending OF the message ut this time
would delay action on the tariff bill IN
the least, holding that the discussion
Is open and senate and house could be
conducted during the time the conferces
on the tarlff bill are at work In thelr
room. He is. however, willing TO defer
In this matter to the opinions OF cer-
tain Republican congressman who take
II contrary view and will not send ia
the message until advised that II will
not jcopnrdize the tarlm measure.
Foreign affalts, and notably the Ha-

ARBITRATION CONFERENCE.- =
There is a bare possibility that the joint
arbitration conference may yet lead to
the termination OF the, miners strike on
the basis OF the true uniformity
agreement proposed by President De
Armltt, of the New York & Cleveland
Gas Coal Company last year, but which
failed for the reason that the ninety
seven per cent OF the operators In this
district required by De Armltt could not
be secured.
Two sessions OF the arbitration board
were held to-day. representatives from
the states OF Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia, Indiana and Illinois. being
present. At the afternoon session,
President DeArmitt appeared before
the board and told OF the conditions
which exist from his point OF View, He
reclted the history OF the miners strug-
gies for better conditions He told OF the
great uniformity movement in 1s95-96,
which failed OF Its purpose. Mr.. Dear
mltt said: IF the operators OF the
Pittsburgh district will abolish their
company stores, use a uniform screen,
give honest weight. 1000 pounds OF coal
for ton; pay cash every two weeks,
viii leave It to any committee to settle
the price of mining and pay It. no mat
ter how high, providing all my competi-
tors pay the same price Unless these
conditions can be brought about, ! will
not agree 20 abolish the contract with
my men, nor can afford to do So"
Mr. DeArmitt pointed to the fact that
his men were working to-day when al
most every other mine In the district
was idle. He said that he fully intend
ed to pay his men the district price
whenever the other operators will meet
his terms. II true uniformity was Sc
cured here, however, It would so involve
the interests OF the other bltuminous
states, he said, that ultimately there
would have to be chain Of uniformity
agreement IN all the states, that would
cost much money and require consider
able time to accomplish. He promised
the board all assistance in his power In
securing a settlement upon the basis
proposed, but said under no considera-
tion would he treat with the United
Mine Workers.
President Dolan and Secretary War
ner, OF the Mine Workers Association,
were before the commission In the
evening and recited their grievances
They disputed much that Mr., DeArmitt
had said and questioned the sincerity at
this time. They claimed that when 30
per cent OF the operators had been Sc
cured for uniformity, DeArmitt agreed
to It. but later he found a technical
ioophole and availed himself OF 1t TO re-
pudlate his original proposition. The
board will meet DeArmitt again to-
morrow and viii endeaVor TO get the
operators together for the purpose of
Inducing them TO make another attempt
to secure true uniformity as outlined
by the former at to-day's conference.

HALE STILL UNVANQUISHED.
He Finds Wrestler WOodmansee a
Worthy Opponent. However.

Herb Hale. of this city. found Elmer
Woodmansee, a Cincinnati wrestler. a stub
born opponent at the Empire last night,
despite the bruised condition of the Ohio
youth. Woodmansee paid, as a price of his
victory over Trickler the night before,
numerous bruises and a particularly ugly
looking black eye. Trickler had given him
unmerited punishment in a manner not pro-
vided for in wrestling rules. 1t took Hale
thirteen minutes TO pin Woodmansees
shoulders TO the mat in the first bout. while
the Ohioan still quantity in the sec
ond bout for twenty-one minutes when a
scissors lock put the purse entirely out of
bis reach. Hale secured the first fall by a
half Nelson and a body lock The men
were about of the same weight though Hale
was much more agile and seemed possessed
of more strength. Woodmansee is skilled
in the defensive. but he is slow to take ad
vantage while on the aggressive. The
match last night was a spirited and clean
one and of the sort which will serve to
lift wrestling out OF the diSrepute into
which local fakes have thrown il.

Mayor Taggart'S cabinet meeting yeSter-
day afternoon was an informal sort of an
affair at which the heads of the various de-
partments discussed the work that has been
accomplished the last month. most impor-
tant of which was the fulfillment of the
annexation project and the sale yesterday
of the park bonds at a large premium
Mayor Taggart suggested that the Board
of Public Safety would want the Board of
Public Works 10 advise with it relative to
improvements that are needed in Haugh-

for the various city officials TO accompany
the mayor around the suburbs the last of
the week in order to determine just what
is needed with reference to police and fire
protection, new street improvements. etc.
City Attorney Curtis suggested that it
would be well for the Board of Safety to
have patrolmen in the suburbs report any
bad conditions of streets and sidewalks
likely TO cause personal injury. in order
that they might be remedied at once so
that suits for damages might be avoided.
