PRESIDENT May Act as Arbitrator.

Washington, July 10.-After having
tional lawyers in Congress that there is
no ground upon which the federal gov
eminent can directly take any part in
an arbitration of the dispute between the
mine owners involved in the present gil
gantic struggle, prominent newspaper
has laid the whole question before Presi-
dent Mckinley personally and has asked
him to name an unofficial body of arbi-
traitors whosehigh character and reputa-
lion for fairness and good sense would be
sufficient to guarantee a just and accep
table decision.
President Mckinley has been assured
that the mine workers have, in writing,
agreed to submit their case to such a
board of arbitration and to accept and
obey its decree.
The President has expressed his will
ingness to take the matter under imme-
diate consideration on condition that the
mine owners shall also agree to submit
their case to the arbitrators and abide by
the result.
body can have no official character, and
will be unable to enforce its decision, but
it can, perhaps, induce the mine owners
and mine workers to end the appalling
struggle upon some reasonable basis,
and thus save the country from the
horrors of national struggle between
capital and labor at time when want
FOL Il =
A board of arbitrators can at least sue
coed in placing the responsibility for the
continuance of this disastrous and peril
Gus strife where it belongs.
President Mckinley cannot and will
not undertake to select the arbitrators
until he has satisfactory assurances that
both sides are willing to accept arbitra-
ton. Even then his action will depend
upon the circumstances under which the
case is laid before him. He realizes fully
the terrible consequences which may fol-
low if the struggle is allowed to go on.
The full details of this matter cannot
be made public at present, but sufficient
a peaceful settlement. The public at
large will presently be able to see clear
ly the nature of the great coal strike and
its environments.
President Mckinley cannot go beyond
the point already indicated until the
mine owners have expressed their will
tngness to accept his good offices and
agree to the principle of arbitration.
Wages Raised.
Terre Houte, Ind, July 1O.-The
Pawnee, Kelley and Westyille companies
of the Danville district today posted
notices of an increase of ten cents a ton
in the wages for mining coal. The OBJ
ject of this is to keep their men at work
and thus break the backbone of the
strike. These three companies are the
largest in the Illinois territory

Another and Vigorous Reply to Secretary
Sherman.

Washington, July 10.-Mr. Hoshi, the
Japanese minister, late this afternoon
sent to Secretary Sherman his reply to
the note of the Secretary of State, writ
ten in answer to Japan's original note of
protest against the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. The note of the minister answers
in detail the contentious Of the Secretary
position taken by Japan against the
treaty. The note was sent after full COM
munication with the japanese home gov
eminent. 1t doubtless will be transmit
ted to the Senate committee on foreign re-
lations with the other correspondence
At the japanese legation here it is said
that the Japanese newspapers whose COM
ment was quoted in the dispatches from
San Francisco yesterday and all of which
spoke either i'll contemptuous tone of
the United States or abounded in criti-
cism of the position Of the japanese gov
crnment toward Hawaii, belong to the op-
position press in Japan and that the SEN
timents they express must not be taken
as the sentiments of the japanese govern
ment. No quotations from the official
organs were given.
Queen Lii Goes TO Gotham.
Washington, July 10.-Ex-Qu Lii

formation was vouchsafed to the people at
the hotel where she stopped and they
know nothing about her future move

Foot Ball Again.

New Haven, Conn, July 1O-The
Associated Press is able to state authori

game between Yale and Princeton will be
played in New Haven. The probable date
of the game is on the Saturday before
THANKSGIVING day. Yale will thus have
one big game abroad, that with Harvard
being scheduled for Cambridge, and the

orders to the engineers not to haul coal
until the miners differences are adjusted.
This would effectually tie up all the coal
ready for shipment and what might be
loaded in the event of the failure to bring
all of the miners out. When President
Ratchford was asked as to the truth of
the report, he said: We have been keep
ing that feature of the strike from the
newspapers for several days. Z I will say,
however, that we have communicated
with the heads of all railway oragniza-
tions in the country and I believe will
have their support in this struggle. AS
to asking them to call on the railway en-
ployes to refuse to haul coal until this
trouble is settled, l say this will only be
done after we have exhausted all other
means. 1t would hardly be fair to ask
this until we had used every effort to
close down every mine in the bituminous
coal fields. I don't care to discuss this
subject any further We are certain of
success and the situation today is more
encouraging than at any time since the
fstrike was inugurated.
The district officers will make de-
.termined effort tomorrow to bring out
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
conpany's miners. Arrangements have
been made for march on the mines on
Sunday. Secretary Warner says four
brass bands have been engaged and with
a number of men move will be made
on the mines at Turtle, Plum and Sandy
Creeks.
The latest accession to the ranks of the
strikers was the miners employed at
Smock's mines on the Redstone branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad
Has Not Ordered Engineers to Refuse to
y Haul Coal.
Cleveland, Ohio, July 1o.-The atten-
stion Of Chief p NJ. Arthur of the Broth
er4lood of Locomotive Engineers was
directed to the Associated Press report
from Pittsburg that it was reported that
] he had been asked to issue orders to the
engineers not to haul coal until the
miners differences are adjusted.
Have you issued any such orders, ?"
Mr. Arthur was asked.
tThere is absolutely no truth in it, :"
he replied. ''We have received no COM
plants whatever. Our attention has not
been directed to the strike situation
ssDo you contemplate issuing any such
orders?'' was asked.
stNo, sir; we have no occasion to issue
any such orders. We cannot act until we
have something to act upon. We can
not until our men come to us for advice.
They have not made any complaint what
ever They have not asked for any advice
and we cannot act until they do. There
is absolutely no truth in the report.
Chicago Threatened With Coal Famine.
Chicago, July 10.-As result of the
miners strike, every pumping station
and all public institutions of Chicago are
threatened with coal shortage and the
city is in great danger of having it's wat
er supply cut off. 1t was discovered today
that there is only two days supply of coal
on hand at the various pumping stations
and a conference between Commission
er of Public Works Mccain and the lead
ing coal dealers of the city developed
that only one dealer had a good supply on
hand. The commissioner has taken steps
to confscate coal for public use if neces-
sary but whether there will be any to
confscate is another question.

CRAMPS BROOKLYN BILL.-S.cte
tary Long has received from the Cramps
a bill for $685. for repairing the
cruiser Brooklyn. The Secretary has
not sufficiently recovered from his as.
toni~ hment to give the matter careful
consideration.
The Brooklyn was built by the
Cramps, accepted by the government,
and soon after went aground in the
Delaware river on Schooner Ledge
The date of the accident was January
80. The Cramps showed great interest
in the injuries sustained by the war
ship, and offered to dock and repair
the vessel at absolute cost of labor and
material.
George w. Melville, chief of the Bu
reau of Steam Engineering, urged Sec
retary Herbert not to accept this offer
but to have the repairs made under
contract. All the other bureau chiefs
with the exception OF Chief Constructor
Philip Hichborne, concurred in this
view. Secretary Herbert, however, de
cded to allow the Cramps to make the
repairs on their proposition.
The injuries to the Brooklyn consist
ed in the crushing of ell her bottom
plates along the keel, some of them be-
ing broken. Secretary Long will prob.
ably have no alternative but to pay the
bill.

wooDLAWN FARMERS CLUB.

WOODLAWN FARMERS CLUB.
The April meeting of the Woodlawn
Farmers Club was held on the 18th
inst at the residence of Lewis Gilling-
ham. About eighty members and
guests assembled; President Albert W
Harrison in the chair. The minutes of
last meeting were read aud approved.
President Harrison stated TO the
club that be was informed that farm
ers Of this section can now obtain sugar
beet seed from the department in
Washington, by agreeing to certain
conditions having tendency to ascer-
lain the value OF our soil and climate as
sugar producing locality. This again
led the club into the subject of beet
raising, not only for sugar making, but
also as source of food for stock. The
beet is undoubtedly gaining credit with
the farmers and the sugar may secure
the crust" of the capitalists. But farm
ers have so often been imposed on by
dead BEATS" they should be cautious
in future.
On motion the club decided to make
corn culture" the principal subject
for discussion st our next meeting.
With view of bringing out full dis
cussion on the method of raising this
most valuable crop and as the season is
at hand for putting in practice valuable
ideas, A. w. Harrison, John L. Mon
rec, G. Lukens and T. S. Wright were
appointed to prepare articles on the
subject.
a rumor foated through the club
that a prominent gentleman from
Washington, d. c., may buy
the old historic Woodlawn Man
sion, the bridal present of General
Washington to Nelly Gusts upon her
marriage to Major Lawrence Lewis,
and the hope was freely expressed that
it might prove reality, for the nat
ural advantages of the place, its splen-
did view of the Potomac and high com
manding position, overlooking this
beautiful valley that once made up the
thousands Of acres owned by General
Washington, makes Woodlawn suscep-
tible of becoming one of the hand
soonest places of residence in Virginia.
1t is strange that some gentleman of
wealth and taste has not secured the
prize long ago.
A number wanted to know from the
club (which make of plow is the BEST"
and the discussion that followed show
ed that each member believes the kind
he uses is superior to all others, and as
there were more present who use the
Wizard" than OF any other make it
seemed to have the greatest popularity,
but the South Bend, Oliver Chilled,
Syracuse, and others had their earneL
advocates. 1t was conceded to be much
easier now 5or the farmer to get a
good, satisfactory plow than it is to get
d good, satisfactory man to follow it.
Next meeting to be held at John l..
Monroe's, May 18th.
The club then adjourned to accept
the invitation of our host to partake OF
a supper.
