NO SETTLEMENT YET
Powder Question May Prolong the
Miners Strike.
DIFFERENT VIEWS REGARDING TT
Strikers Think Reduction in Price
Should Be Absolute.
MR.. MITCHELL RET1CENT
MIR. MITCHELL RETICENT

HAZLETON. Pa. October 19.-The set
tlement of the big strike of anthracite mine
workers is undoubtedly blocked by the ques-
uon of the price miners will be asked in
future to pay for powder. Employers have
agreed to give their men 10 per cent more
III wages than they We're paid before the
strike began, but they insist that ir-tiguring
the net advance of 10 per cent the reduC-
ton of S125 a keg in the price of powder
snail be taken il to consideration. The
miners apparently want to go back to work
lar the 10 per cent advance and then arb1-
trate the question whether they are to get
their powder cheaper as an additional con-
cession. 1t is not believed that the mine
owners Will grant any such demand and
their refusal may mean the indefinite pro-
iongation of the strike.
President Mitchell Reticent.
Since the Philadelphia conference of rail-
road officials and operators President Mitch
ell has become very reticent, maintaining
an absolute silence on the powder question.
When he was asked the direct question
today by a representative of the Associat-
ed Press whether another convention will
be called to ascertain the wishes of the
men on the newest complication. he re-
pled: prefer not to answer that
When he was asked what the prospects
We're for an early ending of the strike he
said: NO man in America is more desir-
oes or more anxious 10 end this contest
than myself and l have done all in nv
power to bring about an honorable settle
ment.'
This nOn-cOmmittal answer of the leader
OF the strike helps to strengthen the i'm
preston that the labor war is not so near
a solution as it was thought to have been
The spirit of jubilation that prevailed in
This region on Wednesday has given way
to a feeling of disappointment This is
apparent everywhere.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND
Addressed an Assembly at the Vatican
 on America

Rome, August 19.-Today being the feast or St. Joachim the Pope's patron saint, there was a large gathering at the Vati- can of cardinals bishops and presidents of societies. The Pope who was in excellent health and spirits, spoke at some length regarding matters of Catholic interest, and then, with a complimentary introduction. invited Archbishop Ireland to address the assembly on matters in America and the relations of the outer world to the Holy See.
 Monsgnor Ireland, who was frequently applauded during a speech of forty min utes, spoke glowingly of the fidelity of American Catholics to the Roman church and the Holy See. He described liberty under the American flag, and set forth the necessity of the Pope, as the head of Christendom, being free and independent of any one civil power, "so as to be, in fact, as we'll as of right, the sovereign teacher and ruler of all nations and peo- pies, without special dependency on any special nation people,"

GERMAN MARKET
Chinese Loans Have Gone Up-Iron and
 Coal Weak

Berlin, August 19.-The tendency of the bourse last week was somewhat stronger. Chinese loans rose under the influence of the news of the fall of Pekin and of the more peaceful attitude of the Chinese au- thorities. Chinese five and four and halfs gained three and a half points.
 American railway securities attracted in- creased attention and Canadians rose 2.35. Domestic iron shares are firmer upon the increased dividends of several companies. Yesterday iron and coal shares weakened upon the failure at Essen of Middendor and Company, bankers, which caused forced sales. Evidence of a further weak ening in the iron situation is coming in. Some of the Silesian companies take a Saturday holiday; and the price of girders fell there five marks. Un the Dusseldora iron bourse some lines suffered further fall Buyers are now able to get pig iron at private terms more favorable than the lifted prices, and a general reduction in iron prices is expected soon.
 The coal market Is easier because the iron companies are countermanding or ders.
 Last weeks money market was easier as
 
 London. New York's exports of gold at tracted much attention, the press comment being that New York is fast becoming the worlds banker. However, apprehension is expressed at the growing indebtedness of Europe to the United States, which will be increased during the remainder of the year in consequence of cotton shipments; and it is feared that New York will recall gold from England and Germany before the year is over.

THOMPSON FEELS
 VERY CONFIDENT Executive Committee Meets in
 Goodwater Today. OTHER MONTGOMERY NEWS Col. J. J. McDavid Suffered Slight Stroke of Paralysis, His Hand
 Made Useless Preparations
 for the Big Street Fair
OTHER MONTGOMERY NEWS

Age-Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel Melrose, Montgomery, August 19.-(Spe- cial)-Colonel c. w. Thompson, of Macon, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in the Fifth district, was In the city yesterday. Colonel Thompson Is quite confident that he will secure the nomination by the convention to convene at Goodwater the 29th.
 He seemed somewhat anxious about the meeting of the executive committee at Goodwater Monday He claims that the friends of Colonel Brewer dominate the committee, and that it is both unusual and unnecessary to convene the committee nine days before the convention to hear con tests.
 It is quite likely that the committee meeting will furnish some exciting mo mcnts. There are contests from Fillmore Coosa and Clay, Thompson contesting in the former and Brewer in the two remain ing counties named. Without a contest the Thompson Hehin combination would be able to control the convention against the Brewer Bulwer combination
 When seen this morning Colonel Thomp- son said that he had clearly won in all three of the contested counties, securing large popular vote, and he did not believe that the committee would resort to any unfair means to wrest those counties from him.
 In Clay county he secured majority over all of 129 votes in a straight primary and in the Cossa County convention he had a total of 115, to 30 for Brewer
 There were several beats in Cooca con tested by Brewer, but had he secured the seating of his delegates in all of the beats contested Thompson would still have had a majority in the convention.
 Much interest centers in the meeting or the committee at Goodwater Monday, and it is expected that many of the prominent Democrats in the district will be in attend ance
