MINISTER HosHI PROMPT.
An Answer to the Note of Secretary
Sherman.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Secretary
Sherman has received prompt acknowl-
edgement from Minister Hoshi, of
Japan, of the secretary's letter of last
Saturday, relating to the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States. Mr..
Hoshi's acknowledgment is formal
and does not go into the merits of the
subject as the answer to Secretary
Sherman's last note will not be made
until word comes from the japanese
foreign office The Associated Press
dispatches contained all of the features
of Secretary Sherman's note with one
exception, namely:
Japan's prior note referred incl
dentally to reports that a majority of
the inhabitants of I%ASvaii did not
favor annexation. ~ Sherman's
answer takes issue with this state
ment and urged at some length the
preponderance of influence in Hawaii
is favorable to the annexation of the
island to the United States. Aside
from this and the approval expressed
in the plan of arbitration betweei5
Japan and Hawaii, on the immigration
question, the Sherman note is an en-
larged argument of Mr.. Sherman's
former letter, stating the attitude Of
the United States as favorable to an
neXation. The report that Mr.. Sher-
man did not enter into an argument
as it would be reopening of the case.
with Japan, is not correct, as the sec
retary's letter is a very full arSu-
ment on the entire question involved.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. H.-With a
conference in sight the coal operators
went to their homes tonight hoping for
the best, though the hope was not very
buoyant among them. President DO
Ian returned from Columbus this morn
ing and announced to the operators
committee that he was authorized to
fix a date for a conference between the
mine workers national executive
board and the operators association
for the purpose Of settling by arbitra-
ton. if possible, the great coal miners
strike. This plan struck the commit
tee favorably, and the afternoon was
devoted to a conference between Mr..
Dolan and the operators The result
of this meeting was that Dolan tele-
graphed to National President Ratch-
ford and Secretary Pease to come to
Pittsburg for a meeting of the opera
tors on Monday morning. Mr.. Dolan
said: I'VE will go into conference
with the operators, but it must be uu-
derstood our action will not be bind
ing. The miners must be consulted
first. The people whom we represent
must be heard. If we make settle

Nearly all of the Cleveland operators
have left for their homes, intending to
return on Monday morning to attend
the meeting which they fondly hope
will result In a settlement of the coal
troubles in this district, and if such a
contamination is effected here the en-
tire union must necessarily follow suit.
1t is said tonight that the sheriff is
preparing to dispense the camps on
Monday President Patrick Dolan, of
the United Mine Workers, was seen
with regard to the arrests. He said:

FAIRMONT, Mimi, Aug. H.-The
people of Fairmont held public meet
ing to discuss ways and means of rid
ding the community of the covered
wagon" nuisance, which has acquired
prodigious dimensions, due to the lent-
ent manner with which offenders have
been treated. y committee of five was
named to notify the colonies of cover
ed wagons to vacate on short notice
and clothed with extraordinary powers
in case of resistance. The good effect
of, the meeting was at once apparent
and the campers have disappeared.
The number of covered wagons tray
cling about the country at present is
astonishing. The prairie schooner is
no longer an emblem of immigration,
for not even a small per cent of the
wagon travellers are now families seek
ing new homes. They seem to be gyp-
sizes, horse traders, side shows, aban-
doned men and women, peddlers, farm
laborers looking for work, and great
variety of other people, who seem to be
living aimless and useless lives, with
out any other apparent resources than

through Where they come from and
NA4SAG ltieS are SOIHS Is equally unCer-
tain, for there does not seem to be ny
community Of purpose among them, no
universal goal for which they seem to
be striving, but just a hopeless, indefi-
mite wandering, which certainly bodies
no good. These people neither pay
taxes, exercise the right of suffrage, or
figure in the official census. They are
fruitful of crime and a menace to the
peace and dignity of every portion of
the country. They are worse than the
walking hobo, for they are generally
possessed Of something in the way of
personal effects that tempts the greed
OF each other.
This nuisance is a new one, but re-
ports from all over Southern Mime
sofa and neighboring states indicate
that this year it is a very serious one.

ANOTHER QUARRY INSPECTED.
State Capitol Commission Looks
Over More WinOna Stone.


Over More Vyfnona Stone
WINONA, Mimi, Aug. 21.-The cap
ital commission remained in Winona
until this noon, going this morning to
see the Bear Creek quarry. The COM
mission left for Bear Creek in their
special train at o'clock Good time
was made on the trip out, their desti-
nation being reached in less than al
hour. The commission was accompa-
MED on their trip by V. Simpson, G. A
Morey, r. B. Basford and c. A Boalt
and Supt. ]. J. Mahoney. The Bear
Greek quarry is right on the railroad,
and the train was stopped at the quar-
Ty so that the gentlemen had but to
step off the car and they were in front
of the main face of the stone.
j Again We're the commissioners very
quiet in regard to the result of their
4nspectiOn of the quarry, which was
Very thorough. They would not COM
unit themselves one way or the other:
they would not even compare the Bear
Greek quarry with the others which
they had visited around Winona. Com
missioner Graves remarked that there
was no question but what it was d
very handsome stone, but he thought
it doubtful if they could secure as
many large pieces as would be called
for. Each and every one of the COM
mission refused to be interviewed
Mr. Lauer, of Lauer Bros, con
tractors, stated that they could accept
1.-The contract if awarded it, provided
the Winona men would guarantee them
the stone as desired. Mr.. Montgomery,
representing Macarthur Bros, con
tractors, of Chicago, was asked:
After your inspection of the Winona
quarries, do you still hold good to
your bid and consider you can get the
needed sizes of stone from Winona?"
3 I'VE will hold good to our contract"
was the reply.
s. From that, then, it may be stated
5sthat you think the stone can be Sc
scured for the capitol in sizes and guam
tity desired?"
You can draw your own conclu-
siOns," was answered.
Commissioner De Laittre, of Minneap-
oils, was asked: IF there was no
question that Winona quarries could
supply a sufficient quantity of large
stone, do you think the board would
award the contract here?'
II think they would. I don't see any
reason why they shouldn't" was the
reply.
Before returning to st. Paul at noon,
they decided to meet in st. Paul again
on Monday at 2 p. m.

CLASH WITH DEPUTIES.
Five of the Marching Miners Ar
rested at Plum Creek.


PITTSBURG, Aug. 21.-There was a
clash between the deputy sheriffs and
strikers at Plum Creek at a. M, and
five strikers were arrested for con-
tempt of court in disobeying the orders
of the court as contained in the in
junction. The determination of the
strikers to march at a. M was
formed yesterday afternoon, after they
had successfully passed four deputies
who wanted to stop their escorting
citizens of New Texas to their camp.
Their plans were known to the depu-
ties and they were ready for the
marchers
The campers were divided into three
parties, one going to GAINESVILLE. an
other to the tipple at Clear Creek and
from there along the Salisbury pike.
They were not formed in line, but

at Center. The men in advance turned
back but the others kept on and the
deputies formed line across the road.
Chief Deputy Samuel Young stepped
to the front and told them they would
have to turn back to their camp. There
was a sudden push from the rear of
the body of strikers and the IDENTITIES
were forced back considerable dis
lance. and there was such a mix-up
that one could not tell which of the
struggling men were deputies and
which were strikers.
Chlef Deputy Young seized two men
and called out that they were under
arrest. AT the same time he shouted
TO the deputies not to struggle with
the strikers. but to arrest any man
who attempted to pass. This had it's
erect. The strikers stood still to see
what Mr.. Young intended to do with
his prisoners. and the deputies thus
had chance to form in a solid mass
across the road and to bar all passage.
Inc two men were placed in charge
or deputies, who conducted them to
the DE Armitt stables and placed them
under an armed guard. There were
about sixty men in the body of strik-
ers, and most of them started back
slowly toward Camp Isolation.
There were about a dozen of them.

the court had no power to block pub

back to camp and they would either
see the miners in their homes and per
Suade them not to go into the pit or
be taken to Jail. They started across
the road on a run towards the tiDple
