The parties to the conference were
very reticent after they returned from
Sycamore Hill, but 1t can be stated on
reliable authority that 1t was decided
to make no attempt to revise the tariff
at the coming session Of congress,
that the president is to maintain his
position as to trusts, and, further, that
he is to insist in his demand for reci-
procity with Cuba.
| 1t is believed that he will fully out
line his policy regarding this latter
question in some of the speeches he is
to make on his western trip.
1t also can be stated on excellent au-
thority that the coal strike was not dis
cussed.
The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain IL

NO COAL IN ZION.
Followers of Elijah II. Anxious. to
Leave if They Can Sell Their
Hoidinos for Cash.


Chicago, Sept. 17.-What is believed
to be the beginning of an exodus from
Zion City, Dowie's settlement on the
north shore, was revealed yesterday
when 1t became known that many who
have purchased property there are anx-
ious to dispose of 1T.
Advertisements offering for sale /.
score of lots, many of them improved,
was distributed during the Dowie meet
ing in the auditorium by the
persons who are anxious to get rid of
the property, the principle in each adj
yertisement was: For sale, cheap for
cash.
No one seemed to be willing to sell
unless for cash. and, despite the thou
sands which Dowie says the Zion in
vestments are paying in dividends,
none OF the would-be sellers mentioned
prospective dividends as an inducements
to purchase.
With coal at $40 ton and nothing ia
protect them from the lake breezes and
winds that howl over the prairie and
frame houses-some of them haven't
even these and still are living in tents
the prospect isn't pleasant to the fol-
lowers of Elijah II.
Dowie. of course, living in a brick
dwelling with closed carriages and fur
lined overcoats, cannot see why the cold
should drive anybody away. Expensive
coal cuts little figure when one has,
as he claims to have, 10000 disciples
who are paying him 10 per cent of what
they earn each week.

FoREsEEs HOLY WAR
French Minister of Marine Makes Re
narkable Statements,


Bizerta, Tunis, Sept. Ism. Pelletan,
the French minister of marine made
u remarkable speech at an entertain
ment of the municipality yesterday
evening. which, 1t is predicted, will
cause the French foreign minister,
Delcasse, some trouble to explain. AZ
ter pointing out the Importance of BIZ
zerta as &; bulwark of France, Pelletan
proceeded:
This part OF the Mediterranean is
French and will remain French. With
this powerful rampant, SC we'll situated
for defense and attack, and with Cor
sica and Toulon, we can hold the open
door between the two halves of the
Mediterranean in spite of Malta and
Gibraltar
Certainly, l do not desire a conflict
of the peoples against England any
more than against Italy, but as we do
not know what others are doing 1t is a
part of our duty to prepare for holy
WARRIOR the French fatherland against
its enemies whoever they may be- I
am convinced that, thanks to the fell
low workers with whom l am sur
rounded, we can face every eventual-
ity. Security hardly exists any more
for the civilized world. AT the end of
the nineteenth century the whole
world seems to be dominated by the
maxim Might before right We must
then devote all our efforts to Keeping
intact that focus of justice and light
French genius"

CROSS IN THREE DAYS.

seventy-two-Hour Passage from
New York to Liverpool.


New York, Sept. 17.-By steamship
to Europe in three days no longe.
seems an idle dream. If the word of the
inventor of the fastest thing afloat is
to be considered. the day of this SEEM
ing marvel is not far off.
Charles d. Mosher, inventor of the
yacht Arrow, which covered n mile in
one minute and 19 $4,000 seconds one
day last week, predicts that in n few
years he will be able to reach Liverpool
and Southampton in seventy two
hours from New York.
Not only can the thing be done
says Mr.. Mosher, but it will be done
as soon as any man or company is
ready to apply money and energy to
the task. When the owners of trans
Atlantic fleet at last say to themselves
with conviction those magic words 1T
will pay then we shall see the New
York Liverpool ferry making regular
three-day trips"

BEGINS BUSINESS.
The Farmers Trust" Opens Offices in
CHICAGO,

Chicago.
Chicago. Sept. 1.-THE Farmers Co
operative association. known as the
FARMERS Trust" has opened offices in
the Royal Insurance building. The off,
GERS of the new concern say that they
do not intend to attempt any co-opera-
ton In the running of farms, as that
plan has been tried and failed several
times. 1t Is their idea to do away with
the middle man and to control prices.
The company was recently incorpo-
rated at Pierre, S. ID. The benefit to
farmers will come mostly from the
fact that the entire crop will not be
thrown on the market at once, the OFF,
Gals claim, but will be disposed OF in
such manner that the highest prices
can be secured to the producers. Back
ers OF the plan assert that within a
year the association will be in control
of the entire agricultural output of the
United States. The stock. 1t Is said, is
being rapidly disposed Of.
