MITCHELL is CONSERVATIVE.
of Mine Workers Declines
TO Commit Himself.

Kansas City. July 15.-John Mitchell,
national president of the United Mine
Workers of America. was asked to-
day what action the coal miners of
America would take relative to the
strike of the Amalgamated Association
of Steel Workers, which has been de-
clared at Pittsburg.
"I can tell you better what effect the
steel strike will have on the coal min
ers," he replied. THE coal and steel
industries are so closely allied that a
great strike of steel workers and the
closing down of the great steel mills
will very greatly lessen the consump-
ton Of coal That will mean that
many coal mines will cease opera
tions."
'Is there likely TO be a sympathetic
strike ordered among the coal minersY'
II don't care to say anything about
that" replied Mr. Mitchell. 'The
strike OF the steel workers has not yet
assumed definite proportions. II cannot
be told how far-reaching IL will be,even
within the order Immediately affected.
/ would not care 10 say whether or not
the coal miners will be drawn into IL.
or even whether such thing has been
considered" !"

LONDON SHY OF STEEL
BANKERS DECLINE TO HANDLE
THE TRUST STOCKS.
THE MARKET is DESPONDENT.
LORD ROTHsCHILD STATES THE
SITUATION.

No Discrimination, He Says, but
London Banks Do Not Advance
Large Amounts on Any Single
Class of Stocks-They Prefer a Va
riety-Mr. Morgan7s Load of $15,-
O0O.O0O Securities Proved Too
Strike and Arrange Railroad Diff
ficuIties First, He Says.
London, July 15.-There was consid-
cradle gossip in the city to-day con-
cerning United States Steel Stocks and
rumors that London bankers had taken
a stand against them and were refus-
ing loans on them. Denials of the re-
ports were made in some quarters, in
cluding j. P. Morgan's banking house.
but others said loans on these stocks
could be had only with great difficulty
and where the Individual seeking the
loan had good credit.
Lord Rothschild said to a represen-
tative of the Associated Press:
There is no discrimination against
United States Steel Corporation or 9TH
er American stocks; it is simply bus
mess matter here that bankers do not
advance large amounts on any class of
stocks alone. If a man came to me
and asked for 95O,O0O on >one lot of
stocks / would not give it to him. /
should require several different lots of
securities. The financial situation here,
not excluding consols depends entirely
upon the United States. If you send
over good prices we will keep them up,
but if you are as persistent sellers as
you have been to-day, you cannot ex-
pect London to go on buying.
All Depends on United states.
THE financial situation in Germany
is all right; everything, as l have said,
depends upon the United States. J. P.
Morgan placed fifteen millions of steel
here; they have gone down considera-
bly,, and therefore it cannot be called
surprising if the London market is
despondent, but there is no real anx-
iety, nor likelihood of panic or things
of that sort.
Il expect the situation in the United
States-the drought, bad crops and the
possible results of the strike-to be
Exaggerated. Settle your strike and
arrange your railroad difficulties and
you will find London as willing as ever
to support American securities"

ceivership Sought to Enable Syn

Nashville. Tenn, July ia motion
was made in the United States Circuit
Court to-day by e. r. Richardson, one
of the underlying bondholders of the
Nashville Railway, which recently
went into the hands of a receiver, ask
ing that he be allowed to intervene in
the case of the Baltimore Trust, and
Guarantee Company against the Nash
vile Railway. The litigation involves
over $9,000,OO0. ana the averments in
the petition are sensational. The petit
tlon seeks to compel the Baltimore
Trust Company, under the mortgage
for $6,5000OO issue of bonds, to pay In
the treasury of the Nashville Railway
sum aggregating 900. which is
alleged to have been paid by the syndi-
cate for the constituent lines of the
Nashville Railway before its consoh-
daton.
Big Divvy for the Insiders.
1t is charged that the Baltimore
Trust Company advanced the money to
pay for the stock and that 1t recouped
itself out of the proceeds of the bond
sale. The syndicate is alleged to have
sold $i,S75.000 of bonds at par with ac-
crued interest through the trust COM
pany and that the proceeds were di-
vided among the members of the syn
dicate, not dollar being paid into the
Nashville Railroad treasury. The petit
tion asks that $6.498,000 unpaid sub
scriptions made by the syndicate to
the capital stock be paid into court and
alleges that of the total capital stock
of $6500,000 only eleven shares were
paid for and the balance was divided
according to the respective interests
represented i'm the syndicate. The pc
tition alleges that the Nashville
railway is now insolvent and that the
foreclosure proceedings were instituted
to enable the syndicate to avoid it's
liabilities as original subscribers TO the
capital stock. IT is also alleged that
part of the scheme is to depress the
value of the underlying bonds so as
| TO enable the trust company to buy
them. The petition prays for judg-
| ment against the Baltimore Trust and
| Guarantee Company for the amount
of the original stock subscriptions, and
| the proceeds of the bond sales, aggre-
| eating over 50, 900, 900.

OUR HUMANITY AT PEKIN.
Many Innocent Lives Saved by
American Moderation.

Washington, July 15,-It is now ap-
parent from mail reports which have
just reached the State Department
from China that il was solely through
the moderation and humanity exercis-
ed by the United States representa-
tives at Pekin, by the Presidents di-
rectlon in the early negotiations for a
settlement of the Boxer trouble, that
number of innocent lives were not
sacrificed. These reports show that a
more sober and painstaking inquiry
has developed the. fact that some Of
the Chinese officials supposed to have
been connected with the Boxer out
RACES, whose capital punishment was
demanded by he foreign ministers,
have been proved to be entirely inno-
cent Of the charges made against them
In many other cases, proof has been
adduced that the offenses with which
the Chinese officials were charged were
not nearly so grave as was at first
supposed by the foreign representatives
in Pekin.

Mr.. BRYAN ON OHIO
HE CRITICIsEs THE CONVENTIONS
ACTION.
SAYS HE is NOT AN ISSUE.
THE GOLD ELEMENT REJOICED,
HE THINKS.

He Evidently Feels the Rejection OF
the Kansas City Platform-WOuld
Have Been Better TO Have De-
cIared for Gold standard Straight
Out-Money Question Not Yet Out
of Politics--He Advises All Good
Democrats to support the Ticket.
Lincoln, Neb., July 15.-In extended
comment on the platform adopted by
the Ohio Democratic convention, w.
j. Bryan criticises the convention for
it's failure TO reaffirm the Kansas City
platform. and for what he regards as
the weakness of some of the planks it
did adopt. Mr.. Bryan insists that the
convention made a mistake in making
himself an issue, and says:
"Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for
any office. and a mention of him might
have been construed by some as an in
dorsement of him for office. The vote
should have been on the proposition to
indorse the platform of last year. and
then no one could have excused his
abandonment of Democratic princi-
pies bv the pleading his dislike for
Mr.. Bryan"
The Gold Element Rejoiccd.
Referring to the platform, he con-
tinues;
"The convention not only failed. but
refused to indorse or reafiirm the Kan
sas City platform, and, from the man.
ner in which the gold element has re-
joiced over this feature of the conven-
tion, one would suppose that the main
object of the convention was not to
write new platform, but to repudiate
the one upon which the last national
campaign was fought.
'The gold papers assume that the
convention refused to adopt the Kan
sas City platform because it contained
silver plank. If so, it would have
been more courageous to have declared
openly for the gold standard. If the
gold standard is good it ought to have
been indorsed--if bad, ii ought to have
been denounced. To ignore the subject
entirely was inexcusable.
1.-The money question is not yet out
of politics. Every session of Congress
will have to deal with it. Republicans
declare that it is dead, but they keep
working at it,"
| Mr.. Bryan comments on parts of the
platform, especially those referring to
state and municipal affairs. He en-
dorses the nominees of the convention
and urges their support.
Wants 10 Down Mclean.
Referring to the senatorial fight and
the reported candidacy of John r. Nc
Lean, he says:
! Did the leaders ignore the money
question in order to please those who
bolted? Or does Mr.. Mclean want to
be left free to affiliate with the Repub-
licans on financial questions in case OF
his election?"
He concludes as follows:
IF any of the Ohio Democrats feel
agrieved because the reorganizing ele-
ment of the party triumphed at the
convention let not them visit their dis
| appointment upon the state ticket, but
rather see to the nominations of sena-
! tors and representatives who will Sc
lect trustworthy senator. Let them
see to 1t also that the state platform
is made at the primaries next time
rather than at the convention"

NO MONEY ron Steel SHARES.
London Bankers Give Various Rea-
sons for Declining Them.

London Bankers Give various Rea-
sons for Declining Them.
New York, July 15.-The Evening
Post says:
Gables received by foreign banking
houses in this city to-day said that
in London there was great difficulty
in obtaining loans on United States
Steel Corporation shares. One of the
best known foreign bankers in the
city said:
London bankers have never done
quite the same thing before. Their
attitude is wholly new, l think, so far
as American stocks, are concerned.
Some time ago they declined to loan
on mining shares, but under the cir
cumstances that refusal did not
amount to much. 1t must be remem-
bered, however. that London has not
the facility of New YorkS call loan
system, and that whatever funds are
tied up at this settlement day must
hold over the fortnight. For this rea-
son they are naturally disturbed at the
strike news and the apparent uncer-
tfinty of the situation.
But the discrimination, whatever IT
is, may not last long. After the furry
is over, and the heavy drop in the
price of steel shares (part of which
has been already made good is over,
affairs will be adjusted. Again, Lon
don has had her hands full all along
without providing a market for these
foreign securities, so that the hitch is
not unnatural. Then, too, London
bankers never require a margin on
loans, letting the brokers have full
value of the collateral offered. so that
when a drop occurs around settle
ment day, consequences are always apt
to be embarrassing.

of one of the Greatest Soldiers of
Any Age.
Richmond. Va, July 15.-In a letter
just received by Miss Mary Custis Lee,
Lord Roberts, now commander-in-
chief of the British army, says that
it is his hope some day to visit Lex
ington, Va. and there look upon the
tomb of Lee. the great Southern chief
tain.
The following is an extract taken
from the letter to Miss Lee:
TT may be that l shall never be
able to carry out my wish of visiting
your great country, but l hope that
some day 1 shall do so, and that l
may see the monument in the college
chapel at Lexington. / shall consider
it privilege to be able to show my
respect and admiration for one of the
greatest soldiers of any age-Lee of
Virginia.
With kind regards from Lady Rob

Lee, yours sincerely.
