New York, Sept. 4.-Dr. E. Benjamin
Andrews, president of Brown univer-
sity, Providence, r. L., whose resigna-
ton as head of the faculty of that in
stitution is still in the hands of the Of
ficers, has accepted the position of
president of the new Cosmopolitan
university, founded by John Brisben
Walker.
DIR. Andrews resigned from Brown
university because of his radical views
on the silver question. His resigna-
ton was taken up recently by the
trustees, and the learned president was
requested to reconsider his action. Not
that Brown university accepted or
stood sponsor for his economic ideas.
but that Brown university wanted DR..
Andrews.
In the meantime Mr.. Walker had Of
fered to DR.. Andrews the presidency of
a university that, it was promised,
should be worldwide in its scope

plomas. without red tape and expenses
of any kind. Friday night DR.. Andrews
gave out statement in which he an
nounced his acceptance of the offer.
and said that the work to be done by
the new corporation is in the nature of
the university extension already car
ried on by Brown university, so that
the head of Brown university might
conceivably be the same person who
had charge of the new work. He, how
ever. did not deem such a union desir-
able, and if resorted to it will only be

TRIBUTE TO OUR SCHOOLS.
President McKinley's Eloquent Adj
dress at Ohio State Fair.

Columbus, O., Sept. 4. President Nc
Kinley and party arrived at ten a. m.
Friday as guests of the Ohio state
board of agriculture. They were given
hearty reception at the depot and
along the route to the Great Southern
hotel. In the afternoon they were es-
corted by the military to the state fair
grounds. 1t is variously estimated that
between $4,000 and 100000 people were
gathered on the grounds to greet the
president, but only fraction of this
number were able to hear the brief
speech which he delivered. 1t was
school children's day at the fair, and
thousands of little folks were scat
tered through the crowd. President
to them. He said in part:
eff had been asked to select a greeting
most agreeable to myself it would be that
greeting which the committee has prepared
of the children of the schools of the state
assembled on these grounds. The presence
of 40, 900 school childrer commands our af-
lection and inspires our hope, and con-
graduate the children of Ohio that they
enjoy exceptional opportunities for educa-
ton at the hands of the government of
the state No other state has higher
common school advantages than the state
of Ohio And it is gratifying to know that
a half a million children every day in our
state crowd the doorsteps of our public
schools in thirst for knowledge to fit them
for the grave and responsible duties of life.
There is one thing of which the United
States can proudly boast, and that is our
great public school system, where the boys
and girls from every walk of life assemble
in full equality and enjoy equally with all
their fellows the advantages of instruction.
I congratulate you all for that. am glad
to meet these school children here te-day.
Children's day it Is to you now, but In
little while 1t win be citizens day with all
of you. Upon you in a little while will rest
the duty as well as the responsibility OF
carrying on the great political fabric es-
tablished by your fathers and bearing the
glorious old banner they have 50 proudly
borne in the past. God bless the school
children of Ohio. God bless the school chH-
dren of America, and guide them to intel
ligence and virtue and morality and pa
triotism, and with these elements dom
mating our citizenship our institutions are
safe and cur republic may be glorious for
ever" IGreat applause.1
At the conclusion of the presidents
speech he was the recipient of an ova-
ton from the school children and as
sembled multitude. Brief speeches
were also made by Secretary Alger and
Senator Hanna. After driving over the
grounds the presidentialparty returned
to the hotel. In the evening a comph-
mentary dinner was given by the state

THE END IN SIGHT.
Miners May Resume Work at 60 Cents
Until End of the Year.

Until End of the Year.
Columbus, o., Sept. 4.-The end of
the great miners strike is in sight.
Friday afternoon the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers
agreed to recommend to the miners
a proposition from the Pittsburgh OPP
orators for a straight price of 65 cents
ton, to continue in force until the
end of the year. A delegate convention
of all miners who have suspended work
has been called to meet in Columbus
September at ten o'clock a. m, to act
upon the recommendation. President
the board say there is not the slightest
doubt but that the miners will approve
the recommendation. The proposition
does not involve arbitration, and in eff
feet provides for an immediate settle
ment of the strike. President Ratch-
ford said that there were special rea-
sons for the board recommending the
proposition. 1t the first place it con-
cedes the miners material advance.
Had 69-cent rate been secured he was
confident it could not have been main
tanned for more than 70 days.
The proposition does away with all
the uncertainties of arbitration and
will bring the strike to speedy termi-
nation. AS soon as the miners ratify
the proposition work will be resumed
in all the mines. In the second place
the proposition provides for a revival
of the joint conference for the adj
justment of prices. The operators are
pledged to meet with the miners prior
to the termination of the agreement
and determine the rate of mining for
the next year.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 4.-The settle
ment of the coal strike on the basis of
the proposition now under considera-
ton at the Columbus conference will
have no effect upon the future action of
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company, according to the statement of
President De Armit. Said he:
"Even if the great bituminous coal strike
is settled i'm every state and district in
volved, and all the strikers return to work
pending arbitration on a new price, the
miners of the New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal company will have to fight it out
with the company and return to work to
carry out the contract legally signed and
accepted by the workmen."
In the last great strike De Armit's
men were induced to join the strike,
and it was three months after the strike
was settled before the miners of the
New York and Cleveland company re-
turned to work at the same price they
were receiving when they quit. Presi-
dent De Armit figures that the strike
has so far cost the miners of the coun-
try $S,O0O,0OO. He bases this statement
on the supposition that 100000 men
were out, and that they averaged ten
dollars per week. His men have for
feited $4,000 in wages to the company
by breaking their contracts. The fight
of the De Armits against the miners
has also been very costly one. AL
ready about $4,000 has been spent by
the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal
company for wages and board of depu-

FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Three State Conventions Unite ON q
Single Ticket.

Single Ticket.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3.-As predicted
at the start by the party leaders, the
three parties, democratic, populist and
silver republican, joined hands in flu
sion and the ticket placed in the field
is: For supreme judge, John j. Sulli-
van (dem.), Columbus; for one state
university regent, E. Won Forell, of
Kearney (pop.); for the other regent,
George F. REMOVER, of Wisner (silver
rep.).
Many delegates maintain that the flu
sion was perfectly harmonious, while
there are others who claim that there
may yet be dissension on the silver re-
those delegates went home before flu
sion was effected. For awhile in the
three conventions Thursday morning
it looked rather precarious for har-
mony, and it was not until the am
nouncement that the democrats had
agreed with the silver republicans to
substitute John j. Sullivan for w. I'll.
Thompson that signs of fusion began to
appear. Even then it was not until
Judge Neville urged the Endorsement
of Mr.. Sullivan that the populists gave
in. At noon the agreement to fuse was
finally reached and the rest of the pro-
ceedings were of short duration. 1t be-
came very evident near the close of the
| convention that neither Scott, Neville
| any two of the conventions, and the
maneuver of the democrats in substi-
| tuting Sullivan was considered a coup
d'etat that cut short what might have
| resulted in a long-drawn, knotty con-
vention, full of fight and ultimately sep
arating the three parties so widely that
| fusion would have been an unknown
condition for years to come. This is
the opinion freely expressed on every
| hand. There were Is counties unrep-
resented in the populist convention and
about the same number absent from the
other gatherings.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3.-The confer
ence committee of the populists, silver
republicans and democratic conyen-
| tons, after holding sessions that lasted
until three o'clock Thursday morning
! and failing to agree upon ticket, made
the following report to the three con-
ventions:
1--WE recommend that the three conven-
| tons meet separately and ballot for judge.
| All nominations shall be presented to the
| three conventions and balloting shall con-
tinue until one man shall receive major
| ity of two conventions. Each ballot shall
| be announced to each of the other con-
ventions before another ballot is taken.
| The regents shall be given to the parties
| which do not secure the judge"
The report was adopted by the demo-
cratic convention, but the committee
was not discharged.
The populists adopted the cottage
home for their party emblem, the same
symbol as that of the populists of Colo
RADIO. The silver republicans adopted
the liberty bell with crack in it.
