From tho Western Borough.

Our English friend from Colorado" !"
Mr.. Wolcott, who is now misrepresent-
ing this state in the United States senate,
and has been appointed member of a
fake international Conference, never
overlooks an opportunity, says Facts. to
show his wealth and his aristocratic, Tory
proclivities. His clothes are a good
illustration Of this, and are the talk of
Washington.
In writing of the dress of the members
of our house of lords, George Granthan
! Balm has this to say:
"Mr. Wolcott of Colorado, is the sena-
tor who attracts attention by his style of
dress. His clothing is finely made and
he seems to have an inexhaustible sup
ply of it. No one knows where his list
OF garments ends, for no man who did
not have good memory and fix his mind
on the subject would know that Mr..
Wolcott ever wore coat twice. He has
a valet to look after his clothing and his
fifty pairs of shoes"
No other member of congress has daz.
zled Washington with a valet except
Harry Miner, late member from New
York. Miner paralyzed his friends by
registering in Syracuse at the time of a
convention, III. Clay Miner and valet,
and the~Dext guest, in spirit Of fun.
Registered flames Jones and valise.
This BIT of pleasantly was taken up by
an English writer in all seriousness and
made the text for dissertation on the
ignorance of Americans.

for all coal mined from now until Jan.
1, 1898. We also agreed when that time
came to enter into negotiations with
the miners to arrange a price for the
ensuing year"
These propositions were favorably
met and we were assured that the best
efforts of the miners committee would
be exerted to have the strike terminal
ed on these conditions. We feel very
sanguine that an acceptance will reach
US from Mr.. Dolan about Thursday of
next week AS we do not presume that
much would be done on Friday or
Saturday, we will say that we are con-
vinced that every miner in the district
will make start on the following
Monday.
1.-The Offer we think, is a very fair
one, and should be accepted, and, as
delay will not be of any advantage to
any of the parties, we do not think
miners will be Idle longer than the
time specified"
J. C. Dysart, another member of the
committee, said resumption of work in
the mines now would mean millions of
dollars in all lines of industry. ''The
operators" said he, "seem to have the
worst end of the affair, but they are
standing in the last trenches from
which they will not move an inch.
believe that the miners. in duty to
themselves and to the many lines of
trade dependent upon the coal indus
try, had better accept the offer and
start up the mines, doing away with
that depression which has existed as a
consequence of the strike"

Kinley was given an enthusiastic re-

bearing the president from Columbus
arrived at 4:30 o'clock. A large crowd
had assembled at the station. The
presidential party was met by a re-
ception committee of which Mayor
Young, a Democrat, was the chair
man. The party was escorted in car
riages to Grace park, passing for five
or six blocks through the principal
streets. A crowd of at least 25,0C0 peo-
pie was assembled along the streets
and in the park. The president was
introduced by Paul E. Warner, the
chairman of the meeting, and made a
brief speech telling of his pleasure at
the heartiness of the greeting extend
ed him. At $50 the president and Mrs.
Mckinley started for Canton. Secre-
tary Alger and Secretary Wilson and

dent from Columbus, went to Cleve-

The manifest of the Kingston, on
which steamer the horses had been
shipped to Victoria, was in the possess
sion of the purser. 1t was easy for
the American managers of the Bristol
expedition to fit out these horses of
foreign birth, with Seattle shipping
receipts and American clearance pa

willing to pay the Bristol people SO
for each horse, when by so doing they
avoided the payment of $50 to the
crown government.

CANTON, O., Sept 4.-When the ' al
lev train steamed into Canton station
at 6:2O this evening Mr.. and Mrs. NC
Kinley, who were passengers, expect
ed to take a carriage and go quietly to
the home of the presidents mother,
but the station grounds and the streets
in every direction We're crowded with a
surging mass of humanity. The old
Mckinley reception committee of the
historic campaign days greeted the
party, a part of the committee having
met the train at Akron. Men and
women and children made a rush for
the Mckinley car, and it was with
difficulty the officers could keep a line
open to allow the party and their es-
cort to reach the carriages. Cannons

Gus mass of cheering people. No for
NAL demonstration had been expected
or planned. Later in the evening,
however, the earlier crowd was sur
passed, when the reception commit
tee headed by the Grand Army band,
which was at the st. Louis convention
and the recent G. A. r. encampment,
rendered President and Mrs. McKin-
ley a serenade. After Home, Sweet
Home had been rendered, President
Mckinley, in response to thousands of
calls, appeared on the stoop, by the

representatives in the convention next
Tuesday. ''It Is not policy" he said,
"for me to say anything now, but
have no doubt that the convention will
decide upon what Is best for the min
ers.' District Secretary Warner, Cam
eron Miller and other members Ct the
executive board also declined to talk.
Meetings will be held all over the
district on Monday to elect delegates
and discuss the situation. It Is be-
lieved that the general sentiment VIII
be to accept the terms and go to work
and await another advance on Jan. 1,
which is assured if the uniformity
agreement is accepted by So per cent
of the operators. Some Of the miners
favor a continuance of the strike for
the 69-cent rate, but they will likely
be convinced by the more conservative
men that the terms are as satisfactory
as can be expected at the present time
The acceptance of these terms will also
prevent the importation Of new men
into the district. It is known that the
operators are prepared to carry out
their threats, and some of the miners
contend that the rejection of the ;'rcpo-
sition will result in disaster.
The operators committee returned
from Columbus during the day. Chair
man Schlenberg said that the con-
ference between the miners and oper-
ators was a very afnicable one and
that the meeting was productive of a
better state of feeling between them
'eWhen we. as q committee" he said,

gests that the delegates come to the

tions or resolutions, and free to act for
the best interests OF the miners. On
this point will depend largely the re-

of the delegates come instructed. the
result of the convention may be in
doubt, but otherwise the action of the
national board will doubtless be sane
tened, with little objection.
The striking miners encamped about

work at the rate of 65 cents per ton
