General Uly :ses S. Grant. In the May
following, in the city of Philadelphia,
there was unveiled splendid equestrian

great inland metropolis in the state OF

the hero of two wars, General John a.

New York IS laying at the feet of the
largest patriotic organization in the
world, it's tribute of affection for their
splendid services rendered in the civil
war by the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie. We cannot exalt patriotism too
high; we cannot encourage too much
love of country, for, my fellow citizens,
as long as patriotism exists in the hearts
of the American people, so long will
our matchless institutions be secure and
permanent. I thank you for your most
cordial greeting and bid you good morn

be in line. New York will lead with
$4,000 men, while Pennsylvania will
furnish 5000 and Massachusetts, and
Illinois 5000 each. The big parade will
be led by Commander-in-C Chief Clarkson

In point of attendance the present
encampment promises to be record

CAME TO NAUGHT
Conference Between Operators
and Miners Officials Ended
in Disagreement.
Miners Held Out for the So
Cent Rate Pending Arbitra-
tion Proceedings.
Operators Refused to Concede
This--Miners Appear to Have
the Best of 1t.

PITTsBURG, Aug. 25.-The final effort
to arrange plan for ending the big
coal strike has proven failure, and the
strike goes on. At noon the conference
| between a committee of coal miners and
operators, national and district officials
closed, and the conference adjourned
without date. The miners representa-
tiyes did not recede from their original
proposition to settle the strike by arbi
tration and start the mines at the SO
cent rate. The operators offered to
divide the difference between 81 and SO
cent rates, making the price at which
the mines should start 6119 cents
per ton, but this was rejected. Then
additional propositions were made.
One was to start the mines without
fixing any price for 30 days, and then to
pay the rate agreed upon by the board
of arbitration. This was also refused
by the miners, who said they had been
fooled too often to trust the operators
again. They declined to work for
month, giving the operators the output
that length of time without knowing
what wages would be paid. A PROPOSE
ton was then made to operate the
mines for 10 days without fixing the
price, and allowing board of arbitra-
ton to fix the price for that time.
President Ratchford insisted that
nothing but the SO cent rate could be
possibly accepted. Neither side would
concede another point and it was de-
cided to end the conference.
President Ratchford's Statement.
President Ratchford had but little to
say on the matter, but gave out the fol.
lowing statement:
1--WE have disagreed. Our proposition
remained unchanged. Besides our
proposition to arbitrate, we made them
a second one along the lines of bringing
about general conference of miners
and operators of all mining states.
They refused to lend their efforts in
that direction, and the strike will be
continued. We have no other plans for
the future"
Immediately after the close of the
morning conference, j. B. Zerbe called
a meeting Of operators for O'Clock to
discuss the situation, and outline plan
for future action. From the tone OF the
remarks of some of the operators the
plan decided upon at the Cleveland
conference to make fight to start the
mines with the old men, if they can be
induced to dig at "a cents, or to import
men to take their places will be put in
operation.
There are others, however, who say
they will not aid in carrying out this
plan, favor complete surrender.
The outlook after the adjournment of
the conference seemed to be encourag-
ing for the miners. There is no ques-
tiop as to the anxiety of the operators
to start their mines. Nearly every coal
company in Pittsburg district was rep
resented at the Monongahela House
during the conference.
