STRIKERS in CONVENTION
STILL STAND FIRM

ed at by President Mitchell in his
brief remarks just before the conven-
ton went into secret session.
President Mitchell read the telegram
from Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation Of Labor:
1.-The cause of the miners is the
cause of humanity. Whatever the de-
cision reached regarding the opera
tors offer the future must be brighter
and better and more just. Miners,
their wives and children and humanity
will be the gamer. Kindly convey to
the assembled delegates the sincerest
union member and officer Of the Am
erican Federation of Labor. We all
pray and work for your success"
Then President Mitchell again I'D
dressed the miners, saying:
This is probably one of the most re-
markable conventions that it has ever
been my good fortune to attend. You
are called here to pass Judgment upon
proposition never made to you. The
operators make no proposition to the
miners. They posted notices of an ad-
vance in wages over those formerly
paid. 1t will now become your duty
to pass judgment as to whether you
desire to accept 1t, or instruct your Of
ficers what you wish them to do. As
l said before every man here must
feel that upon his shoulders rests a
terrible responsibility. If you legislate
wisely you will have Il bright future
before you; on the other hand, mis-
take made now may mean n continu-
alton of the conditions which have
prevailed here for many years. l hope
that you men will do your duty. No
man wants to be carried away with
enthusiasm. You do not want to vote
or speak on any proposition because
it Is popular to do SO. You should do
what you believe to be right"
The convention then went into exec
utive session and SO remained until
ad journment,

BURLINGTON ROUTE
MEETS CUT RATE

Denver. Colo, Oct. 13.-Ihe Burling-
ton Is the first road to take up the
gage of the Great Northern, and has
already met the cut rate on northwest
ern passenger business made by the
northern line more than week ago.
1t is not likely, however, that the Bur-
lington will be alone in the fight for
through business from Chicago, which
1t is though will involve all of the prai-
rie roads. The Burlington need not
necessarily have brought the Colorado
territory into the fight, rs with its con-
nections with the Northern Pacific at
Billings, it might have fought out its
differences alone with the Great North
ern, but one of Its first acts was to fix
n rate from Colorado common points
to the Northwest, and this has in
volved all of the other roads in the
state in the rate war.
Yesterday rate cards from Colorado
common points to Montana and North
Pacific coast points were prepared by
the passenger departments of all of the
roads using the Ogden gateway to the
Northwest. The rate fixed by the Bur.
lington and that the other roads have
met Is SOB for single fare to Montana
and $40 for the round trip; $2S for n
single trip to Spokane and north Pacific
coast points, and SIS for the round
trip. Tickets will be sold ut these
rates every Tuesday during October
and November. The Burlingtons rate
to Denver from Chicago will be $25 one
way and $40 for the round trip.
The passenger agents of the local
lines thought that the Burlington
might have kept the Colorado roads out
of the fight but now that they are in,
they mean to do their best.
The probabilities are that all travel
to the Pacific coast will be affected by
the settlers rates made in the North
and that the Santa Fe may be forced
to meet the rate in order to get its
share of western travel.

TYPHOID FEVER
AT CHEYENNE

Cheyenne. Wyo., Oct. 15.-Thc alarm
over the present epidemic of typhoid
fever is increasing. Since yesterday
two persons have died of the disease,
one being Herman Haas, Il machin-
ist, and the other the young son of
Mrs. Weybrecht, making three vic
tins of typhoid fever in the city. The
physicians are completely worn out
from ovcrwork and loss of sleep and
the situation does not improve. The
people are now taking every precau-
tion to prevent the disease spreading
but new cases are reported ut the
rate of twenty or thirty daily.
Expert Mitchell. who was brought
from Denver to investigate the situ-
tion, says there is no doubt in the
world about the disease being typhoid.
After making n careful investigation
he made several suggestions looking to
the Improvement of the sanitation of
the city and these will be carried out
to the letter.
1t is difficult to estimate the num-
Der of persons i'll nt this time In the
city but physicians say there are no
less than GOO cases. The hospitals are
full to ovcrfowing and in some homes
the entire family are down with the
disease.
1t Is reported that III" same condl-
tions prevail at Casper, Douglas. Lar
annie. Rawlins and other towns in the
southern part of the state. Physicians
say n severe wind or snow storm
would clear the atmosphere and put
a stop to the spreading Of typhoid.
With the exception of two days i'm
mediately following the celebration of
Frontier days, there has been no wind
in this section to speak of since last
spring.

INTERNATIONAL
COURT SUGGESTED

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Russian
suggestion that the international
court of arbitration of The Hague be
given Jurisdiction over the divergen-
cies of views arising on the question
of Chinese indemnities was submitted
to Secretary Hay by Nj. De Wollant,
the Russian charge in Washington, in
note on October 3. 1t has received
the adherence of the American tend
ency, and the Russian governments,
thus giving the suggestion the APPROX
al of three of the most foremost
powers and strong assurance of its
general adoption. Nj. De Wollants
note has not been made public. 1t
can be stated, however, that 1t was
the result of extended exchanges be-
tween the French and Russian govern
ments relative to the six proposals in
the French note. 1t expressed approval
of the various proposals, and then
added the new suggestion relative to
giving The Hague tribunal jurisdic-
tion of indemnity in case there should
be divergence of views. Not being u
formal proposition, but merely an in
cident to the approval of the French
note, it has not called for formal
reply of acceptance, but the RUSSIAN
authorities have been furnished with
copy of the American reply to the
French note, wherein our approval is
given to the Russian suggestion, so
that it Is none the less effective in
giving American adherence to the
plan. 1t is understood also that Aus
trin and Italy, and probably Japan,
look with favor upon The Hague sug-
gestion.
The movement promises to give the
first practical realization to the cars
movement in bringing about the in
ternational congress of The Hague.
Berlin, Oct. 13.-The Russian sug-
gestion to submit the Chinese ques-
ton to The Hague arbitration court
Is ridiculed by the press, with the
exception of the Noerwarts.
A foreign office official Informed n
representative of the Associated Press
who questioned him regarding The
Hague suggestion, that this plan Is
impracticable, since the work of es-
timating the damages must be done
in China. Arbitration, he added,
would cause great delay, pointing out
that arbitration was merely suggest
ed by Russia"

Wonderful Electrical Transmission.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. LA remarka-
BILE series of experiments was conduct
ed here to-day by Henry Floy of New
York, who successfully accomplished
the feat of carrying 80, 200 volts of cleo
tricity through an underground cable
three miles long. The highest voltage
hitherto attained with this class of con-
ductor was 10000 volts, which was Sc
cured at niagara Falls, and electrical
engineers have long been experiment
ing with view to attaining maxi
mum of 1000 volts.
The cable consists of three copper
conductors, each about the size of an or
binary lead pencil, each being enclosed
in n paper tube and the whole encascd
in n lead sheet and drawn through Wit
rified clay conduits. The cable Is part
of the system by which the st. Paul
Gas, Light and Power Company Will
utilize the Water power of Apple river,
Wisconsin, the other twenty-four miles
of wire being overhead.
AS result of this experiment they
will carry an average voltage of 2j,OOO
volts. furnishing 5,OOO-horse power for
lighting and power purposes.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 13.-President
Mitchell, 1t is said. wants the striking
miners to submit to arbitration and
desires that they appoint him to act
for them, with the sole power to de-
eide all questions in their behalf.
Eight hundred and fifty-seyen min
ers who bold in their hands the power
to end or to continue the anthracite
coal miners strike which has been in
progress for more than three weeks,
met in convention here today to con-
slider the ten per cent. net advance
in wages offered by the operators, and
adjourned until tomorrow without
taking any action on their employers
proposition. Both of to-day's sessions
were devoted to organizing the con-
vention and to speeches by many of
the delegates on the mine owners con-
cession.
1t was not expected that anything
would be done to-day outside of Il
general exchange of views. From the
trend of the remarks of the delegates
it was gathered that the ten per cent.
proposition as it now stands has lit
tie chance of being accepted. The del
egates seemed almost unanimous that
the operators should first make con-
cessions In the other grievances, be-
fore the increase is accepted by the
mine workers. Great stress was laid
on the necessity of abolishing the
sliding scale and substituting there
for tonnage basis on which to fix
the rate of wages. The proposition
of having the operators guarantee n
fixed time for paying the advance
was also thoroughly discussed, while
not n few delegates said they would
be satisfied with nothing but more
liberal increase in wages.
That the present convention will
not come to definite conclusion Is
the general opinion tonight.
Some of the delegates think the
whole subject should be left in the
hands of the national officers, as hint

Danger in Canton.

Hong Kong, Oct. 12.-The reformer,
Sun Vat Sen, according to dispatches
from Canton, has unfurled the reform
flag in the important town of Wei Chou,
on East river. This act has given rise
to considerable excitement in military
circles in Canton, as it is believed the
object of the reformers in raising their
flag at Wei Chou is to denude Canton
of troops, SO that they can seize the
city.

Hines has reached the acute stage dur
ing the last few days, but that in the
opinion of her medical attendants, her

Berlin, Oct. 12.-Considerable alarm
is felt at the British embassy over the
condition of Dowager Empress Fred
erick. A fortnight ago 1t was not ex-
pected that she would survive the
winter.
Professor Renvers, who was sum-
moned suddenly to Kronberg, is spe-
cialist of kidney diseases, but 1t is un-
derstood that the heart Is also affected.

NEWTON FOR M'KINLEY.
Michigan Democrat Expresses Ad-
miration For the President

Detroit, Mich, Sept 4.-Judge William
Newton, of Flint, is out with a column
letter, in which he says:
ssHenceforth shall support the candi-
dates of the Republican party, assuming
that they are brave and honest men,"
He gives six reasons that urge him to
the course, four of which are devoted to
showing the failures of the Democratic
party in currency, in tariff legislation,
lack of courage to handle the Cuban
question, and Bryan's retirement from
his pet hobby of four years ago. Anoth-
er is his admiration for President Nc
Kinley's course on the currency question
and his conduct of the Spanish war; OF
the president he says: He conducted
the Spanish war to successful issue,
and wrote for himself during that time
and since the most brilliant chapter of
the worlds history" Judge Newton says
he feels it his duty to support 1.-THE
brave man who is at the head of our
government, whose brilliant deeds will
illuminate the grand history Of Ameri-
can liberty
Judge Newton has voted the Demo-
cratic ticket every year since 1852. He
served as circuit judge IN the Seventh
district IL years. He was defeated by
only 200 votes when running for the su-
preme court bench on the Democratic
ticket in 1892.
