the corps of experts who have for long
months labored upon the grewsome bits
Of flesh, bone and blood found in and
about the factory. 1t commenced the
hral battle of the case-the conflict OF
science. As prelude to the expert tes-
timony ii was necessary to identify the
substances upon which the experts have
labored.
Fer this purpose three newspaper re-
porters we're first sworn. They testified
to taking samples of the solutions in the
factory watts to a chemist DIR. Charles
Il. Gibson. The chemist had found that
the solution in the middle vat was
a powerful alkali ard that the stuff in
the other watts was of an entirely differ

Bernard Preuss was the next witness.

Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-The coal operators
are unusually active in getting their
mines ready for operations. Many are
ready for a start Immediately. No doubt
Is expressed as to the result Of the con-
Vention at Columbus, and order decar-
ing the strike off is expected before the
close of the day. The mules that have
been enjoying the past two moutns in
pasture have been called in and black
smiths at the mines have been busy all
week getting them ready for work in
the mines. District President Doan of
the miners organization was commend
ed by the operators for the stand he
took in the convention Tuesday at Pitts
burg. 1t is believed that all the mines
in the Pittsburg district will be in oper-
alton by Monday morning.
A number of shippers arrived in the
city from Cleveland during the day and
are busy making contracts with the
producers Of coal. There is no quibbilng
about prices, and 20 cents above the
mining price is the generally accepted
rate. These prices will likely be main
tained until after the lake contracts are
filled, when there may be an attempt to
buy coal cheaper. The producers, how
ever. are perfecting their organization
and declare they will sell no coal under
20 cents a ton above mining

Columbus, o., Sept 9.-Nearly all the
districts are represented In the national
convention Of the United Mine Workers,
which opened here Wednesday for the
purpose of Considering the proposition
made recently by the operators to ac-
cept final settlement of the big coal
strike on the basis of 65 cents a ton In
the Pittsburg district.
There is general feeling among those
present that the national executive COM
mittee,' in recommending the settlement
to the convention, acted to the best ad-
vantage under the circumstances. but
there is also an undercurrent of dissat-
isfaction with the result that has been
obtaineI. This creeps out in expressed
reluctance among a number of the dele
gates to accept these terms, and q desire
on the part of some to continue the
