Mitchell says if the strike fails as regards
the railroad miners the old condition
would have to be restored or the smaller
firms could not compete with their rivals.
This, he claimed, was the chief argu-
ment against a partial settlement, ana
the men must stand together.
An arrangement for yearly conferences,
such as are had in the Western coalhelds,
is suggested as best for both men and
employers Mr. Mitchell said the central
body Of the mine union was willing to
take back seat in any negotiations If
the OperatO tors would agree to meet their
men,
Arbitration is urged AS the only sOlt1-
ton Of the present trouble. the only con-
dition being that all the firms interested
be represented and agree to any settle
mont made.

MURDER is CHARGED.
Fred Irle Of PlatteVille Valves His
Preliminary Examination
at Savannah, Mo.

Savannah. No. Sept. Especial. i
Fred Irle of Platteville, Wis, waived his
preliminary examination on the charge
Of numbering Guy Shilliam and Henry
Speth in July. He was remanded to
jail without bond to await his trial,
which will take place in November. Irle
has not retained counsel to defend him
IN his fight for life.
Irle made the following statement:
My name is Fred irle and my home
Speth and Guy Shilliam. They were the
best friends l ever had, and | was with
them right along. | was with them the
night Of the murder. We had been to
Kansas City at work and they had sent
lis to st. Joseph. We worked in Swift's
packinghouse there a halliday, but, as
we tried q half-dozen places for board
and could not obtain any unless we paid
IN advance. and as we were all broke,
we could not work any longer. We only
had 20 cents coming to us and we did
not feel like going back to collect it. We
left st. Joseph on freight train short
~ after ) o'clock and went to Guilford
and hired TO work at Savannah the fol-
lowing Monday. We left Guilford be-
tween 6 and O'Clock in the evening on
a freight the same day. 1t did not stop
at Savannah, but we got off while it was
miles, this side Of st. Joseph. Henry
Speth went to the Norman house near
where we got off [ do not know
whether he went for a drink or not He
asked how far it was back to Savannah
and the man told him it was six or seven
miles, and we started up the track for
Savannah
To the questions of how far he came
up the track with them and where he
last saw Speth and Shilliam no reply was
made.
I'VE first went down the track he
said. where we waited for a train. | got
on the train and came to Savannah. [
do not know whether Speth and Shilliam
boarded the train. as they were on the
opposite side Of the train; did not see
them on the train
DO you know how and by whom or
what Speth or Shillan were killed."
He replied, L do not. | do know there
are railroad men who would kill men try
ing to ride on trains and innocent men
have to suffe- for it. If [ had had any
desire TO kill Speth and Shilliam, [ had
better opportunities than were presented
down on the railroad track that night y
George Crofoot stated that on Sunday
morning. July %, he was driving to Ros-
endale, when about two miles north of
Savannah at 5 o'clock ne met Irle and
let him ride with him to Rosendale,
where Irle got breakfast at the hotel.
Irle had fresh bruise on the side Of his
head and cheek at that time which he
said was caused by falling from a box

The officials here say that the murder
was committed with a freight car meat

CONGER AS MEDIATOR.
Opportunity TO Great Com rial AID
vantage will be Afforded.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-Minister
WI continues to express the earnest hope
that the United States will take the lead
in bringing about a settlement Of the
Chinese troubles. Aside from the bene
fits to all the powers and to China, the
minister said If would establish lasting
bonds between this country and China
and would pave the way for treaty re-
lations Of the most advantageous char
acter for American commercial interests.
In accordance with the statement made
to Germany to the effect that the United
States government is about to authorize
Mr. COnger to enter forthwith into CON
ference with the duly-authorized repre-
sentatives of the Chinese government
with view to bringing about prelimi-
nary agreement, Acting Secretary Of
State Hill spent some time yesterday
framing the directions to Mr.. Conger.
The language Of the note indicates that
Mr.. Conger will undertake to bring the
powers and China together and that he
will serve as d mediator in part at least
He presumably will arrange with the
Chinese representatives Ii Hung Chang
and Prince Ching, as to the place where
they are willing to meet the representa-
tives of the powers and try to fix upon
certain broad principles that shall gov
ern the conference. This programme
must be submitted to the powers to as
certain if they are willing to accept it.
Should the powers, or any of them, re-
ject such a programme, then it appears
that there will be nothing for the United
States to do but to proceed with the final
negotiations on its own account
1t is now understood that Gen. Chat
fees military force will be reduced to
about 1900 men. This contingent be-
ing specially known as a legation guard,
will not be subject to the orders of any
one save the United States minister resi-
dent and will not be under the command

SIGNS OF A BREAK.
Indicat ions that Some of the Strikers
Would Return to Work.

Would Return to Work.
Scranton. Pa, Sept 22.-Now that
troops are in the field, an uncertainty is
growing among miners here as to the fu-
ture. From Forest City, where the Hill
side Coal and Iron company has two big
mines, the news comes this morning that
many men are dissatisfied with the pres
ent status Of the strike and have an
nounced their intention to go back to
work on Monday. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna & Western cOmpanyS men, too.
are showing reStleSSneSS today, and
break may come in their ranks very soon,
as the company, through General Super
intendent LOOMS, again announces today
that as soon as the men get back to work
their demands as company employees eX-
clusively will be taken up and consid-
cred The Pennsylvania Coal company
stands in a similar position, and other
companies are ready to do the same. The
position Of the companies and their de-
cided announcement that they Will not
deal with their employees through the
United Mneworkers' organization. to-
gether with the bringing Of the militia
into service. has set the strikers here
abouts to thinking, and they realize that
the battle is apparently going against
them.
Made Deep Impression.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Sept. 22.-The trag-
edy at Shenandoah has made deep i'm
preston in the Wyoming valley. Groups
of idle miners are gathered everywhere
discussing the situation The NOR con-
servative of the strikers deplore tie ac-
ton OF the Shenandoah men In inviting
an attack from the sheriff. They say
that if the men had pushed the same
course that the miners of this region are
doing in keeping away from the mines
there would have been no occasion for
bloodshed.
The operators look upon the affair as
the beginning of the end. They say the
miners in the Schuylkill and Lehigh dis
tricts who want to go TO work. but who
have been prevented by intimida ton.
viii now flock to the mines and there
will be no difficulty in keeping the col
lierieS in operation.
The operators here, in reply to the
open letter of President Mitchell of the
United Mineworkers, make this state
ment:
MIR. Mitchells demands simply mean
a recognition of Mitchell There are
indications that he is weakening and
ready to fall down. Defeat stares him
in the face and the strikers are begin
ming to realize the true situation Of
affairs. 1t is cropping out all over the
strike region. The men want to return
to work. The claim of Mr.. Mitchell and
other leaders Of the United Mineworkers
that no depredations would be committed
while they were in charge Of the strike
has been nullihed by the acts Of the men
at Shenandoah. The leaders are unable
to control the unruly clement

NO PROVISION FOR JURIES.
Serious Defect in Iowa's Biennial
Election Amend ment.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 22-County au-
ditors Of Iowa, who are the principal
members of the county commissions to
select grand jurymen, are much worried
because there is no provision for the Sc
lection Of grand juries in 1902, if the BIZ
ennial election amendment carries this
fall. as it will eliminate the election Of
1901 and make it impossible to select
jury yenires at that election. The stat
ute requires annual selections of grand
juries. The judges may summon special
venires Of petit juries, but not grand.
The judges are much exercised also. A
special session of the Legislature may be
required to remedy the defect, it being
conceded that the amendment referred to
will Carry this fall
