A Compromise Reached on Wool.

manufacturers, but this is not as
sured. This compromise proposition
looks to fixing a rate of three cents a
pound on all wool of a value less than
ten cents pound; of five cents on wool
valued at more than ten and less than
thirteen cents a pound and of eight
cents of that above thirteen cents a.
pound in value
This proposition was submitted to
the representatives in the senate of
both the wool growers and the CARPET
manufacturers and both sides took the
matter under ADJUSTMENT. Senator Pen
rose, representing the carpet men. tele-
graphed for some of them to come to,
Washington for conference. The al
tempt of some of the house conferees
to secure an increased rate on skirted
woods, has failed. The question of
Jute, jute bagging, burlaps. cotton bag
glng and cotton ties, which the senate
placed on the free list, is causing much
trouble. The house conferees insisr
that these items shall go back on the
dut1able list and the senate conferees
plead that II they are put back delav
must be the result in the senate. If
the confereeS can reach a complete
agreement by Friday, one of them said
today, he would be more than sa+is
fled.
On white pine, the house has won.
and unless the decision which has been
reached is revised, the house schedule
liking the rate at 81 per 1000 feet will
be reported. There u.s. however. most
active effort in the senate to force re-
consideration on this point, and this
effort is being made on the Republi
can side of the chamber even more
perslstently than on the Democratic
side. There is even at this early date
talk among Republican senators of the
probable necessity for another caucus
to determine the course to be pursued
with reference to the conference report
Ihere are several senators on that side
OF the chamber who, it is feared, will
vote against sustaining a report which
increases the pine duty, and who claim
that they cannot be bound by the ac
ton OF former caucuses which devoted
men 1nelr attention simply to schedules.
There is a similar feeling in regard
to the restoration of floor mating and
burlaps to the dutiable list, the North
western Republican senator's being
generally interested in keeping them
free. 10

ing will be gained by proceeding with
the proposed extension of the inquiry
into the administration of the Charter
ed. company. They declared Lord
Rosemead and Mr.. Chamberlain and
the under secretaries of the colonial
office blameless, on the ground that
there is no evidence that any of them
was in any sense cogniZant of the
plans for the raid, but they pro-
nounced Sir Graham Bower, imperial
secretary of the high commission,
guilty of a grave dereliction of duty
in that he failed to decline to receive
from Cecil Rhodes confidential COM
munications which was wholly incon1-
patible with the duty he holds as high
commissioner.
A voluminous minority report, pre-
sented by Mr.. Labouchere, finds that
the plan for the raid was concocted
by Belt and Rhodes and sought to be
carried out through Phillips, Ham
mond, Col. Rhodes Cecil Rhodes
brother) and Leonard. 1t was devised,
according to Mr.. Labouchere, in order
that certain wealthy men might be-
come more wealthy. Rhodes" con-
tinues his report, may possibly have
been influenced to a certain extent by
a vague and haZy idea of a vast
African federation under the British
flag, in which he would play the lead
Ing part, but he was also influenced
and is influenced by financial consider
ations." Mr.. Labrochere does not con-
slider that certain persons in the board
of directors of the Chartered company
did their duty, while he hints that
Rhodes and Belt merit severe punish
ment, for raid which is lone of
the most disgraceful episodes of our
country's history" The minority re-
port concludes as follows:
eve regret that the alleged COM
plicity of the colonial office has not
been probed to the bottom in order
the more effectually to remove any
idea that they may have been some
proof in the statement of certain wit
nesses that the secret aims of Cecil
Rhodes were more or less clearly re-
vealed to Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain"

lead to the termination of the miners
strike on the basis of the true uni
formity" agreement proposed by Pres
ident Dearmitt. of the New York AZ
Cleveland Gas company last year, but
which failed for the reason that ~
per cent of the operators in this dis
trict required by Dearmitt could not
be secured. Two sessions OF the arbi-
tration board were held today, repre-
sentatiVes from the states of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana
and Illinois being present. At the
afternoon session President Dearmitt
said: IF the operators Of the Pitts
burg district will abolish their COM
pany stores; use a uniform screen,
give honest weight, 1000 pounds Of
coal for a ton, and pay cash every
two weeks, 1 will leave it to any COM
mittee to settle the price OF mining
and pay it, no matter how high, pro-
viding all my competitors pay the
same price. Unless these conditions
can be brought about l will not agree
to abolish the contract with my men
nor can 1 afford to do so.''
President Dolan and Secretary War
ner Of the Mine Workers association,
We're before the commission in the
evening and recited their grievances.
They disputed much that Mr.. Dearmitt
had said and questioned his sincerity
Dearmitt again tomorrow and will en-
deavor 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 today'S conference.
J. ]. Phillips received a telegram
from Pennington, w. Va, this after
noon, as follows: Miners all went out
on a strike here this morning" Elem
ington is an important point in the
West Virginia coal fields, and local
operators believe that the strike will
now spread into West Virginia. Mr..
Phillips said: THE people will soon
realize how serious this strike is.
There is not enough coal on hand to
supply the market more than a week
or ten days longer. The minerss have
accomplished more than they expected
to, and more than we ever thought
they would accomplish. They are in a
position to dictate. If this strike is
settled, it will be when the operators
go to the mine workers. The latter do
not have to go to the operators. I
think the railroads will soon refuse
to haul West Virginia COAL if the
train men do not refuse to handle it."

commitment to the dungeons of Still
water. But after hearing all the argu =
ments, the board met in executive ses-
sion, the governor receded from his
position, and the vote for the retention
of the Youngers in the prison was
unanimous.
Next, perhaps, in it's sensational char
acter, of the cases which demanded the
semi-j judicial determination of the
board, was that of Lewis Kellehan,
the surviving member of the pair of
robbers who looted the bank at Sher-
burn, Martin county, last October
kellehan was sentenced to be hanged
Aug. 20, but the board stepped in be-
tween Lewis and the gallows and
very soon he will be committed to the
dark walls of the Saltwater cell, back
there to remain, like his predecessors
by a score of years, until death shall
release him from the letters that
human law has imposed on him for
his earthly crime.
H. H. Rose, who in anger and in
tense bitterness, killed an aggressive
employer nearly quarter of a century
ago, in what is now the heart of ST.
Paurs wholesale district, was par
doned, and today he will step from the
walls of his enforced home, a man
without country, a stranger in
strange land. When Rose steps out of
his prison this morning, it is doubtful
If he could come to st. Paul and find
the place where his crime was COM
mitted. The then embryo city of per-
haps 10000 people, has grown to many
times that size; the faces that were
then most familiar on the streets of st.
Paul have either disappeared or been
so changed in their lineaments by the
slow changes of time that the prisoner
of quarter of a century might invade
the circles where he was once most
familiar without finding a responsive
soul. This man, who was imprisoned
while the Youngers were still robbing
trains on the Southern Trunk lines
whose crime was revengeful, not mer-
cenary, will today breathe the free air
again. But the deliberate assasins of

Of another campaign have changed the
complexion of the board, there may be
a ray of hope for the Northfield ban

LONDON, July 13-The parliament
tary South African commission that has
been inquiring into the Transvaal raid
has agreed upon it's report. The Pail
Mall Gazette will publish tomorrow q
summary of the conclusions of the
committee. The report will express
an emphatic opinion that, whatever
justification there might have been for
action on the part of: the people Of
johannesburg, there was none what
ever for Cecil Rhodes conduct in sub
sidizing, organizing and stimulating All
armed insurrection against the govern
ment of the Transvaal. A heavy re-
sponsibility, according to the report,
remained with Rhodes, despite the fact
that at the last moment DR.. Jameson
invaded the Transvaal without Rhodes
direct sanction.
The gravity of Rhodes transaction is
weightily expressed by the committee,
who find that he seriously embar
raised both the imperial and colonial
government; that his proceedings re-
suited in an astonishing breach of in
ternational comfy; that he utilized his

trolIed to assist and support revolu-
ton, and deceived the high commits
sioner, as we'll as concealed his views
from the members of the colonial min
istry, and the directors of the Charter
ed company"
The committee Is Of opinion that Of
the Chartered companyis directors who
were examined, only Mr.. Lett and Mr..
Mcguire were cogniZant Of the plans
of Rhodes, and, as Belt was entrusted
with the money to promote revolu-
tionary movement, he must share the
full responsibility for. the consequences.
The report adds that Newton also fail
ed in his duty, but in less degree.
The committee in conclusion unites
to condemn the raid, but at the same
time expresses the opinion that moth

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The repre-
sentatives Of the two houses of con-
gress in conference on the tariff bill
spent a busy day, devoted, for the
most part, to work in the conference
room. There were occasional consulta-
tons with other senators or members
Of the house upon points at issue, but
these were brief so that comparatively
little information as to the progress
made found it's way to outsiders. It is
known that almost the entire day was
devoted to the sugar and wool sched-
ules, and the best information obtain
able is that a final agreement was not
reached upon either.
Senator Plat, of New York, who has
been absent most of the time since the
bill went into conference, returned and
was in close conference much Of the
day with Senator Quay. At one time
during the afternoon the senate and
house conference separated, the house
men repairing to the ways and means
committee room. 1t was generally be-
lieved that this action on the part Of
the house men was for the purpose of
deciding upon line of policy on sugar,
ton. Contrary to published reports, II
is asserted that the sugar schedule has
not been agreed on and that, in fact,
that all the big questions before the
conference, which have seemingly been
settled, are only tentatively agreed to-,

Work Under Strong Guard.

Solution of the Wage Problem-West Vir-

PTTTSBURG, Pa, July 13-The pro-
verbal calm before the storm is like
ly to be carried out in the miners strike
situation. Throughout the day every
thing in the district had a peaceful
look, all the mines but two or three
We're closed down and both operators
and miners appeared to be resting on
their oars as it were. Tonight, however,
it develops that a number of the opera
tors have been quietly planning to
equip the mines with machines and do
away with a great many diggerS.
When the mines are ready to start,
miners will be imported and put to
work under heavy guard. With the
cooperation of the other operators, J.
A. Beidler, of the Webster Gas Coal
company, located on the Monongahela
river, will take the initiative The
operators claim this plan becomes nee
essary because the West Virginia peo-
pie are gobbling all their contracts. 1t
goes without saying that the diggers
will resort to every possible means to
prevent the carrying out of the pro-
posed scheme. From present appear
ances the Sickle Hollow tragedy of '94
when several striking miners were
killed, is likely to be repeated soon.
This mine is on the Washington Run
district and was reported yesterday as
closed. The managers deny that it has
closed and are determined to continue
work, and have made preparations for
trouble. 1t was reported at the miners
headquarters here tonight that 1000
miners in that district were getting
ready to march on the mine and bring
out the six hundred men working there.
The attempt is to be made on Friday
or Saturday. This mine is shipping one
hundred cars daily and Is a menace to
the success of the strike. A movement
is also on foot among the strikers along
the Panhandle to march to the Boone
and Allison mines and compel the
miners there to quit work. If these
threats are carried out there will prob
ably be a repetition of the bloody
scenes that characterized the closing
days of the strike of 1894.
