ALL QUIET ON IsTHMUs.
Fields So Reports to the Depart
ment.

Washington, Sept. 5.-A cablegram
wa Received at the Navy Department
to-day from Commander Fields an
nouncing the arrival of the United
States ship Ranger at Panama to-day.
The cablegram added:
Affairs quiet on the Panama side"
The arrival of the Ranger will make
it possible for Commander Sargent Of
the Machias to leave Colon temporarily
to meet any emergency even before the
arrival of the Iowa at Panama. But
nothing less than an emergency would
move him TO this course, because to
safeguard Colon in the absence of The
Machias it will be necessary for Corr
mander Fields of the Ranger, lying at
Panama, to send a portion of his small
force of marines and sailors across the
isthmus by rail to Colon.

They VIII Try to Look After Their
own Affairs.
Chicago. Sept 5.-The National Asso-
citation of Baseball Leagues was organ
lied at a meeting of minor league
presidents here tonight.
The eleven minor baseball organiza-
tons of the country were represented
at the meeting, either by delegate or
by proxy, and from present indications
they will be banded into a firm union
and respect each others contracts in
such a way that they will be as form
liable as under the former protection
in attendance were:
Hickey, Western League; Sexton,
Three / League; Meyers, Western AS
ISOLATION; Powers, Eastern League;
Murname, New England League; Far
rell, New York State League; Lucas.
Northwestern League; O'Rourke, Con-
necticut League. The executives of
the Southern and California Leagues
were represented by proxy.
Little was done at the meeting, ex-
cept to effect temporary organization.
with President Hickey as chairman
and President Farrell as secretary.
Plans were made to respect all minor
league contracts, and provide against
Jumping of their players to the big
leagues without compensation. This
probably will be done by debarring the
player from further engagements in
the minor leagues if he leaves without
his clubs consent.
Neither the American nor the Ma
tiorial league will be adopted as
champion, but the new organization
will try to remain Independent and
friendly with both. Permanent organ
ization will be effected at a fall meet
ing in New York.

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
Magnates and Strikers Not Yet Able

to Get Together.
New York, Sept. 5.-Ralph M. Easley,
secretary of the National Civic FEEDER
alton; Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor;
John Mitchell, president of the United
Mine Workers of America; Frank P.
Sergeant, grand chief of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen, and Har-
ry White, secretary of the Garment
Workers of America, were in confer
ence at the Ashland House to-day.
When the conference adjourned Mr.
Mitchell explained the point reached
in the negotiations to be that the prop
osition of the steel corporation has
not yet been acted upon by the Anal
gamated Association, but that the
board will probably reject it to-mor-
row. Mr.. Mitchell said:
I'VE held conferences with the adj
visory board of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION at Pittsburg and obtained
propositions from it with authority to
submit the same to the United States
Steel Corporation. These propositions
we submitted to the company at yes
terdays conference. The company re-
jected the propositions.
1--WE then discussed the situation at
length with Mr.. Schwab and his coll
leagues, and then obtained from them
conditions upon which they would
agree to settle the strike, these terms
to hold good until this evening.
1--WE submitted these terms to Mr..
Shaffer and his colleagues. We were
advised by the representatives of the
Amalgamated Association this after
noon that there was not sufficient time
to consider the proposition, that the Of
ficers of the Pittsburg headquarters
had no authority to accept or decline
it, that the advisory board is sum-
moned to meet tomorrow.
The officers of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION expressed their conviction to
us that the proposed terms will not
be approved. We entertain the hope
that an amicable settlement of this
conflict will yet be reached"
1t was learned late tonight that at
the request of the Cancellation Com
mittee Mr.. Schwab agreed to-day to
extend the time for the acceptance of
his offer to Friday evening.

invented by Frenchman named Roze,
was tried to-day. The balloon, which
was built at Colonies, a suburb of
Paris. consists OF two cigarshaped
balloons, from which is suspended a
big basket car having two floors.
The upper floor is sort of salon,
elegantly furnished, for the captain.
who controls the five rudders. The
lower floor is for the engineer work
ing the propellers, of which there are
four. The balloon has been filled and
waiting since Monday for fine day.
1t emerged from it's shed at 10
o'clock this morning. and was rolled
along a wooden rail track into a field.
A crowd of spectators cheered the in
ventor, who entered the salon, the en-
gineer taking his place in the lower
cabin. A whistle was then sounded
as a signal to let go.
The ascensional screws began to re-
volve, and the balloon rose slightly but
with an evident effort. The propelling
screws were then started and the ball
loon slowly moved forward. The spec
tators. thinking it was a success, again
cheered. But the balloon dropped
heavily to the ground and Roze came
from the salon and said:
1T is too heavy. 1t won't ascend -
Roze then gave orders to house the
balloon. His friends insisted on an
other trial. and Roze only consented
to experiment with the ascensional
screws. The spectators hung on to
the ropes, and the screws were start
ed. The balloon began to rise, the
spectators released their hold slightly,
and a man who did not let go was
lifted with it. But the balloon lost all
equilibrium. owing to the absence OF
the captain in the front part or the
basket, which caused the rear of the
machine to tilt. The balloon was then
hauled down and housed in it's shed.

Counter Proposition to Make.
Pittsburg, Sept. 5.-The prevailing
opinion in Pittsburg tonight is that
the great steel strike is practically set
tied. but absolutely nothing positive
can be learned from either side to the
controversy.
The day was spent by the Amalgam-
ated advisory board in secret confer
ence, behind doors that were guarded
closer than ever before. The newspa-
per "dead-line'' was drawn most effec-
tually. When the final adjournment
for the day came, at about $50 p. m,
those who had been inside headquar-
tiers refused to say a word in answer
to insistent questioners, and volunteer
ed no statement. When the meeting
was over it was learned for the first
time that President Shaffer had not
been with his colleagues during the af-
ternoon session, and his whereabouts,
up to II o'clock tonight, are unknown.
Secretary Williams also disappeared
shortly after the adjournment, and he,
too, cannot be located
1t is the belief of those who are ia
niliar with the strike proceedings
throughout that the two gentlemen
have started on another unannounced
and mysterious visit to New York city.
1t is believed that the morning session
of the advisory board must have de-
cided upon a plan by which President
Shaffer could go to New York and
complete the arrangement for peace,
which, it is supposed were started by
the conference yesterday between the
steel magnates and the presidents of
the several trades unions.
The only approach to a statement
of the condition of affairs was made
by Trustee John Pierce to-day, who
said 1t was impossible to accept the
proposition made by the United States
Ste ell Corporation, as by doing so some
of the members of the Amalgamated
Association would suffer.
1T would be unjust to our meai-
bers,' said Mr.. Pierce, ito accept such
terms. We have made no counter
proposition and still insist on the terms
made and are willing to arbitiate the
differences. The committee that visit
ed President Schwab had no authority

ECUADOR AIDS REBELS.
Moving Army and Fleet Against CO.
Iombia.

Washington, Sept. 5.-A cablegram
was received to-day from an authori-
tative source in Cali. Colombia, near
the Ecuadorian border. stating that
Ecuador had interviewed as against Co
and with vessels of war.
Under these circumstances, the cable
gram states that it will be necessary
to meet the move of Ecuador by hav-
ing Colombian war vessels in Pacific
waters near the Colombian Ecuador
frontier.
The information in the cablegram is
considered clear evidence of Ecuador's
intention to join forces with the rebel
lious element on the 1sthmus of Pan
anna. Until now Ecuador has main
tanned strict neutrality, but the cable
gram stated that the first overt move
against Colombia has been made.
