Position of the Operators.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 21.-The coal
operators in their meeting Friday
night, after waiting in vain for an an
swer from President Ratchford to their
telegram asking for conference here
to-day to arbitrate the strike question,
issued the following statement to the
public:
1.-THE operators have exhausted every
effort to make amicable settlement, but
the miners refuse either to attend in con-
ference or arbitrate. The position taken
by Mr.. Ratchford occasions great sur
prise to the operators. He insists in bring
Ing in all competitive states when he
knows the operators of other states I'M
>ASs
conference. In making this demand, Mr.
Ratchford is seeking to delay a settle
ment In hope that he may bring to his aid
all the labor organizations Of the coun-
try and assume such political influence
as will frighten the politicians into in
sisting upon settlement of the strike
without regard to the merits of the case.
He has always insisted that the Pitts
burgh district is the key to the situation
and the operators hold out to him an olive
branch from which is suspended the key
he sought Mr.. Ratchford Is using the
Pittsburgh miners as cats-paw to scratch
political chestnuts OFF the idle coal tipples
in this district. He knows very we'll that
delay in settlement will deprive Pitts
burgh miners Of work which will be done
during the winter by miners Of Ohio, In
diana. Illinois and Iowa regions. Mr..
Ratchford must arrange conference 1T
once for the settlement or arbitration of
the troubles in the Pittsburgh coal dis
trict or he must stand accused of incon-
sistency and insincerity. Public opinion
will certainly hold him responsible for
the restitution which must inevitably pre-
vail in the district during the coming win
ter"

THE ATLANTIC RACE COURSE.
Atlantic Steamers Keep Growing
BIGGER md Faster.


The new flyer, Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse, which, by a complication of
genders upon which the inventor of the
German language himself could hardly
have improved, is to be the .queen of
the seas" until the still newer Oceanic
robs ''her" of this distinction, brings
up, as each of her predecessors has done
in her turn, the question whether there
is any assignable limit to the advance
on the Atlantic ferry. Is it worth
while to burn 500 tons of coal day.
amounting in the course of a voyage to
the cargo of good-sized ship, for the
sake of gaining two or three knots of
speed?
Expert opinion, as evidenced by the
infallible test of willingness to risk
money on it, seems to be that it is.
Atlantic steamers keep on growing
bigger and bigger and faster and faster
year by year. The Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse develops three times the power
that has yet been obtained at Niagara,
and the Oceanic will be driven by
force third greater than that. If there
is enormous expenditure of energy
while the need lasts, the drain is soon
over. The Atlantic voyage is reduced
to sprint. A twenty-three knot ship
can make two round trips in a year
more than one of 20 knots and when she
also carries from 20 to 40 per cent. more
on each trip. there is considerable mar
gin for coal bills.
Twenty years ago the commercially
attainable limit of speed seemed
matter of very simple calculation. II
was somewhere between 16 and IS
knots. Unimpeachable mathematical
formulate showed that the power re-
quired to drive a vessel increased as the
cube of the speed, and it was soon evil
dent that at this rate the cost of rapid
transit would soon become prohibitory.
But the builders persistently kept on
until they COMPOUNDED the mathemati-
clans. They proved that the terrify-
ing formulate were accurate only within
certain limits. and that when the
wearying hill between 16 and 10 knots
was surmounted there was compare
lively easy travelling on the other side.
The development of triple expansion
engines facilitated the work and now
the application of the waterwheel
! principle to steam power opens an
illimitable new vista of inspiring pos
sibilities. What torpedo boat can do
a passenger steamer can do, if it be
made worth her while. A ship as fast as
the Turlinia could make the trip from
Southampton to New York in less than
four days. This feat will yet be per-
formed. and when it is. may it be an
American ship that does it!-N. Y.

THE problem of how convlcts shall
be kept at work without competing
with free labor has seemingly been
solved by the law which went into eff
feet January last in New York. This
provided that all state institutions
should purchase their supplies from
the prisons, if such could be manufac-
tured there. Since the law went into
operation acquisitions were received for
over S75O,OOO worth of goods, which
guarantees the continuous employment
of convicts. AS it costs but $500, 900
annually to maintain the prisoners
they are thus made self-sustaining.

police have arrested Rev. A. E. Nor

and are holding him on suspicion of
murder until the sheriff can arrive
from Panhandle and take him home
for trial. For several months Morrison
had been engaged to Miss Whittelsey,
of Topeka, and they were to be mar
ried here during the Christmas holt
days. From the information the po-
lice have received, it is supposed that
Morrison is the same person as a min

died suddenly at Panhandle, Tex. Oc-

Boar Against Tiger.

Some English officers in India re-
Gently got up a fight between a full
grown tiger and two-year-old boar.
A pit was made, with sanded floor and
16-foot walls, and two doors in the
walls served to introduce the animals.
When the tiger saw the boar. its head
and tail ngdown like whipped dogs,
and it tried to get away. The natives
threw things at it. until it growled
and then the boar charged furiously.
The tiger leaped like cat over the
boar, and repeated the act three times.
At the fourth charge the boar ripped
the tigers flank slightly, and then the
great cat got angry. 1t turned on the
pig, grabbed it by the nape of the necF
and shook it like terrier does a rat.
This done, the tiger dropped the boar
and walked away. The boar, recover
ing from its dizziness. made another
trial, got shaken up again, and the offic-
ers then called off the fight and let the
tiger run back to it's cage.-Goldep

PROF. E. STONE WIGeINs, of Ottawa,
Ont, believes that the aerolite which
fell near Binghamton short time ago
and is alleged to have contained a
piece of iron with hieroglyphics was
a message from Mars. He said: my
opinion is that stones have for many
thousands of years fallen from space
upon the earth which contained writ
ten characters. Many nations speak of
their sacred books as having fallen
from Heaven and as the earliest i'm
portantrecords were preserved in stone
it seems probable that the idea origi-
mated with aerolites, like that of Bing-
