ILLINOIS MINERS STAND OUT.
BRAIDWOOD, Sept. 7.-Secretary
Ryan of the Illinois miners, before leav-
ing for Columbus to-day, said:
The proposed settlement of the min
ers' strike has caused considerable ex-
element among the miners of Illinois
and particularly in the northern coal
fields. The fact that the operators of
Northern Illinois have refused to at
tend any conference looking toward a
settlement of the present trouble also
establishes the fact that there can be
no general settlement at the present
time should the Pittsburg miners ac-
cept the 65-cent rate and resume work.
History will repeat itself, and the Il
linois miners will be left to hold bag.
A resumption of work in Illinois at the
reduction means a loss to the Pittsburg
miners of the advance inside of sixty
days. The strike was inaugurated as
a national issue and should end the
same way, win or lose

LUETGERT TRIAL.
Two Strong Points Secured by the
Prosecution.

CHICAGO, Sept Two strong
points were scored by the prosecution
in the Luetgert trial to-day, and I'M
less the defense is able to impeach the
testimony of the witnesses, their evil
dence is likely to have considerable
weight with the jury
The two witnesses were Nicholas
Faber, who testified that on the night
of May LIST he saw Luetgert and his
wife enter the sausage factory, and
Charles Hengst, who swore that on the
night of May 1st he passed the fac
tory and heard a cry from within, as
though some one was in pain.
At the hearing before the Poll .e Jus
tice, by whom Luetgert was held to
await The action of the Grand Jury
Hensst said he could not tell whether
the cry was of a human being or of
an animal. To-day he said, however,
that h. was confident that cry came
from human being.
The defense rely greatly on the state
nent he made before the trial to I'M
peach nis testimony.
Faber grew confused somewhat on
cross-examination and could not tell
whether the moon shone or whether it
was q cloudy night when he saw
Iuetgert and his wife enter the fac
tory on the night of May 1st. but he
stuck stoutly to his story that h had
seen The two people enter the factory

DR.. ANDREWS.
Efforts to Induce Him to Remain
With Brown University.

PROVIDENCE Or. ID, Sept. THE
last conference in the Andrews case
was held this afternoon, when DR.. An

Committee of the corporation Of Brown
University.
President Andrews is in receipt of a
letter from the faculty, in which he is
requested to withdraw his resignation.
1t is signed by every professor, associ-
ate professor and assistant professor
at present in Providence vicinity, and
it is said by the interested to evidence
complete harmony in the faculty and
cordial relations with DIR. Andrews.
It's signers include those members of
the faculty who declined to sign the
memorial to the corporation. This last
letter was hastily drawn up while DR..

before him Immediately upon his re-
turn to this city, the thought being that
he might possibly persist in his resig

CROPS DESTROYED.
IRELAND THREATENED WITH
A FAMINE.
Will be Impossible for the Farm
ers to Make Anything of Their
Cereals This Year.

LONDON, Sept. Especial inquiries
| throughout Ireland fully corroborate
the alarming predictions cabled Satur-
day of the failure of the harvest and
consequent impending famine. Cries
of warning to the Government are ris-
ing in a crescendo scale from all parts
of Ireland. They are not confined, as
in former years of distress, to the con-
gested districts GA the western sea-
board.
From Mullinger, one of the most
prosperous midlands, a correspondent
telegrap hs: 1.-THE crops are now ire
trievably destroyed. 1t will be impos-
sible for the farmers to make anything
of their cereals this year, as they are
quickly rotting. In the churches
PRAYER for fine weather was recited,
and if a change does not come imme-
diately the crops might as we'll be left
to manure the ground
From County Wexford, noted as one
of the richest in the country, the It'd
ings are: 1.-The green crop may be de-
scribed as a gigantic failure in County
Wexford this year. The greater part
of the potato crop is only fit for cattle
feeding"
From Fermanagh a correspondent
telegraphs: AT a meeting held here
to ask for a reduction in rents, the
parish priest presiding, it was declared
that not since Black 1917 has the pros
pect for farmers in this district been
so bad. In several places the potatoes
have been a failure. Hundreds of tons
of hay have been ruined by the heavy
rains and floods"
From Carlow known as "the model
country" comes the following dis
patch: There is before our farmers
an outlook as disastrous as it is pos
slide to conceive, owing to the frightfu
weather A great deal of corn cut
early remains in the stacks injured be-
yond recovery. In many districts the
farmers have been unable to cut their
crops, which present the saddening
spectacle of being leveled to the earth
by the persistent rains, and mass Of
second growth and weeds have come.
Apprehensions concerning potatoes al
so have been dismaIly realized"
At meeting of the Board of Guar
dams at Mitchellstown, County Cork,
the Chairman said: THE potato crop is
generally failure, while the other
crops have been hopelessly injured by
the unparalleled inclemency of the
season We are on the verge of
great agricultural crisis. The outlook
in farming affairs is gloomy in the ex-
trenae, and to aggravate the conditions
of affairs caused by the failure of the
potato crop the prices of provisions are
considerably increased, and before long
the people who are supposed to con-
tribute to the people rates will be in
the workhouse themselves
These evidences of the widespread
character of the ruin wrought by the
inclement season are merely samples
from numerous reports received. The
Irish Government has adopted no
measure as yet to cope with the threat
ened famine.

GRAECo-TURKIsH TROUBLE.
Expected That the Peace Treaty.
Will be Settled To-morrovu

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE correspond
ent of the Times at Constantinople
telegraphed that owing to a note from
Count Muravieff. the Russian Minister
for Foreign Affairs, intimating that
Great Britain was responsible for the
'incalculable evils from which Greece
and Turkey are suffering through the
delay in the conclusion of peace be-
tween the two countries" the MARQUIS
of Salisbury submitted such proposals
for the settlement of the permanent
peace between Turkey and Greece.
namely, the constitution of an interna-
tiona1 commission, representing the six
Powers under whose control Greece
shall pay her revenues, guaranteeing
the interest to the holders of old bonds
and to the holders of the bonds of the
indemnity loan, this step to be fol-
lowed by the prompt evacuation of
Thessaly by the Turkish troops.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
last night from Vienna said the "Polit-
ische" correspondent announces that
Greece had abandoned her opposition to
the demands of Germany regarding the
control of Greek finances and the
possibility that the Marquis of Sails
bury's latest proposals would lead to a
settlement of the matters in dispute be-
tween Greece and Turkey.
The only remaining question is the
dates for the payment of the indemnity.
The Powers desire to insert these dates
in the treaty of peace, but the British
Emabassador, Sir Philip Currie sug-
gests that they leave the dates to be
determined upon by the International
commission. The ambassadors expect
that all the details of the treaty of
peace will be settled on Thursday next

The Country for Miles Around
Trembles From the Shock-Not
Whole Pane of Glass in Any
Window in the Town and every
House and Store Shaken to Its
Foundation.

CYGNET (O), Sept. IA terrible
explosion of nitro glycerine occurred
here this afternoon at o'clock, result
Ing in the death of six persons whose
names are known, and some others at
present unknown.
Killed: Sam Barber, Allan Farris,
John Thompson, Charles Bartel, Henry
Lansdale, -- Havens, boy.
The explosion occurred at Grants
well, at the rear of the National Sup
ply Company's office building, in the
village limits. This well had been shot
by Samuel Barber, the shooter for the
Ohio and Indiana Torpedo Company.
The We'll was a gasser, and when the
i quarts of glycerine let down into the
well exploded the gas ignited, and with
terrific roar the flames shot high
above the derrick. AS soon as the
drlllers saw the flames several climbed
into the derrick to shut off the gas, but
they had hardly got there when there
was a terrific explosion. The burning
gas had started the remaining gIycerine
in the empty cans standing in a wagon
near the derrick
In another wagon near by were some
cans containing another twelve quarts.
and this was started by the force of
the first explosion. The second was
blended with the first in a mighty roar.
and the country surrounding for miles
trembled from the shock. The Nation
al Supply Companys building was
completely demolished, and nothing re-
mains where the wagons stood but a
big hole.
There is not a whole pane of glass in
any window in the town, and every
house and store was shaken to its
foundation. There was great excite
ment, and all the remaining population
OF the town rushed to the scene.
The men who were in the derrick
and who were killed cannot be learned
now, owing to the excitement.
The damage to the Ohio Oil Company
will amount to $4,000. Their out-buiId
1ngs are a total wreck, and many 9TH
ers are damaged. The town has a
population of about 1,20O. Many by

The defense made a strong fight
against the introduction of the letters,
and when the court decided that they
were proper evidence, the defense ask

they might lose some of their original
meaning by being read in English. This
