HOUR WAGE FOR THE MILLER
Minneapolis Employees Oner Them that
system as "a Strike Alter
native.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 26.-Formal
answer was made today by the flour mill
managers Of Minneapolis to the demand
submitted by their employees union for an
eight-hour day. The response In effect Is
as follows:
'It ts not our intention To oppose yon nr
your union, but when it comes to the
question Of wages and hours. we must
simply repeat our answer made to you on
May II, that Minneapolis mills can not pay
for eight hours work higher wages than
mills in all other sections Of the country
pay for twelve hours work. Your work ia
mainly experimenting machines and is diff
ferent than the work done in many other
employments, and you cannot, as is claimed
for many other employments, do as much
work in eight hours as in twelve hours.
"If, however, you have fully made up
your minds that you want an eight-hour
day, we are willing to make the change
and pay the following wages: Millers now
receiving SO, to receive So cents an hour
machine men now receiving $3.50, to re-
ceive 20 cents an hour; machine men now
receiving $2.25. to receive 26 cents an hour;
oilers now receiving 50, to receive 23h
cents an hour; sweepers now receiving $1.75,
to receive % cents an hour.
Ihls gives you the elBnt-nour scheuule
you have desired and, in addition, a very
large increase in the hourly wages. II this
proposition is turned down we shall shut
down our mills or employ other men who
are more reasonable in their demands"
The -four employees union is to meet
Sunday afternoon, when the proposal Of the
mill managers will be considered. The
strike has been set for next Monday, II
the union determines to reject the man
agens' counter proposition.

and iron policemen. Mr.. Mitchell came
here at the invitation Of the league to ad-
dress is meeting. He received about 500,
which has been contributed by various or
ganizations for the benefit Of the miners.
Mr.. Mitchell, in his address. said in part:
II have some doubts in my mind whether
the residents Of Philadelphia have cause
to feel aggrieved at Mr.. Baer or to feel
grateful to him. 1t is true that the trust
he represents is extorting from you fabu-
lous prices for coal. but as a compensat-
ing feature he has taken from Philadelphia
the largest portion of the criminal class
that formerly resided here, and now has
them commissioned by the governor OF
Pennsylvania as coal and iron police. Phil
sdelphia criminals are now preserving the
law in the coal fields.
but / did not come here for the pur-
ose of discussing that phase Of the ques-
ton. ] came here to tell you something
about the coal strike. It is not the miners
fault that the residents Of Philadelphia
are paying SIS a ton for coal. In THE
| strike the people have passed judgment. |
am willing TO say that IL 80 per cent OF
the American people would not cast their
votes in favor Of the miners IL 1t were left
to them / would order the strike of now.
The papers friendly to the coal trusts
have been printing the stories OF lawless-
ness. and they say the, miners want to 90
back to work. Let me say to you that for
more than eight weeks the militia Of Penn
s~ylvania has surrounded the mines and not
one single striker has returned to work
Yet IL is true that my people are suffer
ing for the necessities OF life. 1t Is true
that their children are going about bare
| footed. But the Pennsylvania coal miners
nave for years lived on little and a little
less is no uncomfortable hardship.
Some Of the papers have printed tabu-
lated statements Of the earnings OF an
thracite workers. Let me call your at
tentlon to one authority upon the earnings
Of miners and none will complain tina
that authority is only friendly or fair ia
the miners. In a public statement
recently issued he says that the. av-
erage earnings of men under his company
were $1.s9 a day. The largest number oil
days the anthracite miners have worked
was l94h, which means that under his
company and according to his figures the
miners earned the grand total in a year OF
$685."
Mr.. Mitchell left late tonight for Pitts
burg. where he will meet National Secre'
tary-Treasure w. b. Wilson OF the
miners union for the purpose Of transact
ing business connected with the organiza'
ton.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The coal shortage
reached an acute stage today. The price Of
soft coal jumped to IS a ton, $3.50 more than
the price Wednesday, and three times as
much as before the strike was inaugurated.
The quoted price OF hard coal was SIS but II
was merely nominal, as there was abso-
lutely none to be had at any price.
The price Of wood followed coal. Kind
ling wood, selling a few days ago at $40 a
cord, today brought S12. Practically a
complete fuel famine exists. Consumers
throughout the city had postponed laying
in a supply Of coal, believing the strike
would be settled and prices would fall.
The park department is seriously en-
barassed. Ten days ago contracts we're
advertised for and today only one bid was
found and that was for 200 tons Of pea coal
at 1915 per ton, which was quickly ac-
'cepted.
A conference Of representatives OF the
principal charitable organizations OF the
city VIII be held within a few days to con
slider the situation resulting from the coal
strike. Many OF the organizations made
contracts for coal, but as these contain a
strike clause no supplies will be forth
coming. In former seasons the society for
Relieving the Condition OF the Poor, the
United Hebrew Charities and the st. Vincent
de Paul society have distributed about
2 900 tons Of coal each. q total OF 5000. The
charitable workers estimate that they may
have to provide ten or twenty times the
amount Of coal they have given away In for
mer winters.
Two steamers with a total carrying capa-
city Of about 1000 tons OF coal have been
chartered for the purpose OF carrying
Welsh anthracite coal from Swansea to the
United States. The vessels are the British
Steamer sarmatia, registering 1913 tons

the British steamer Montauk, 1870 tons net,

The latter vessel has been chartered to carry

ATTENDS TO S0ME BUSINESS
President Sits Up on Lounge In Room
and Reads the
Papers.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-The condition
OF President Roosevelt's injured limb is
considered satisfactory by his physicians.
There has been no appreciable variation
in his temperature since yesterday and
after the examination Of the wound this
morning by Drs. Rixey and Lung Il was
announced that the president was progress
ing fayorably.
The Inflammation around the wound is
slowly subsiding. This morning the presi-
dent sat up on a lounge in his room, read
the papers and attended to some executive
business. .
None Of the members Of the cabinet called
before noon and no visitors we're admitted
to his room. The president is obeying
strictly the injunetions OF the physicians
for absolute rest and quiet, although the
inactivity is exceedingly irksome to him.
Much Of the time Of Secretary Cortelyou
and the White House force is employed In
explaining to committees in the places
which the president was to have visited on
his western trip the keen regret which the
president expressed on being obliged to
abandon his journey. To some OF these
letters the president is giving his personal
attention.
Dreary, rainy weather outside yesterday
and today has in no wise affected the
presidents spirits and he is cheerful In his
enforced confinement.
The condition Of President Roosevelt's
injured leg shows steady and satisfactory
progress towards improvement. There is
only a slightly perceptible change from day
to day as the healing process is naturally
slow and tedious. The president spent the
day very quietly, his principal visitor beins
Secretary Moody who had some Navy
department matters to bring to his atten-
ton. DR.. Rixey called for a short visit
about 4 o'clock and DR.. Lung, the presi.

CoLoMBIANS FILE A PROTEST
Objection to the Landing of American
Marines IL Not, However,
Considered valid.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.--In regard to
the protest against ths landing OF Amsri-
can marines on the isthmus, made to Com
mander Mclean OF Cincinnati by Governor
Salazar of Panama. on the ground that the
Colombian government has ample force to
protect the lives and property Of foreign
ers, II is pointed out here that the gov
ernor's argument takes in only one-half OF
the main treaty obligation with regard to
1.-THE isthmus, assumed in the convention OF
New Granada, signed in 1916 by the United
States and Colombia,
The dominant factor which Influenced the
landing Of the marines was the obligation
which the United States took upon itself
by the treaty OF 1916 in these words:
The United States guarantees positively
ton. the perfect neutrality OF the before
mentioned isthmus,. with the view that the
may not be interrupted or embarrassed in
any future time while this treaty exists.
Furthermore, in respect to the governors
reported declaration that he considered the
landing of the United States naval forces
an attempt to assume the sovereignty of
Colombia. attention is directed to this dec
~laration in the same paragraph OF the
treaty:
The United States also guarantees the
llA6hNc VI SONGlCABhtg anu lOPNANy IN
New Granada has and possesses over the
said territory.
So far neither the State department. nor
the Navy department has been informed
on1cially of the protest Of the Panama
government, 1t was stated at the Navy de-
partment today that no mention OF the
protest was made In the long dispatch re-
ceived from Commander Mclean yester-
day, in regard TO which only a general
statement was made public.
II Governor SalaEar, In making the secu-
rity OF the lives and property Of foreign
ers his ground for protest against the
presence OF the American marines. did SO
on the assumption that the transit was
safe against interruption. then the ON
cials here are not inclined to the same
view.
They point out that there would have
been an interruption Of trafic on the
isthmus on Wednesday. when 800 insur.
gents attempted to capture a Colombian
ofhoer aboard one of the trains, had 1t NO
been for the presence Of the American

VIII Prepay Interest on
It's Obligations.

WASHINGTON. Sept 2s.-The secretary
Of the treasury has made public announce
ment that he Will buy 5 PCT cent bonds
Of 1904 At 1O5 nat. There are SIS, 400, 900 Of
these bonds outstanding.
Secretary Shaw also today issued the
following circular, carrying out his an
nouncement Of yesterday regarding the pre-
payment OF the interest on bonds Of the
United States:
"In pursuance of authority contained In
section 1899 Of the revised statutes of the
United States, public notice is hereby given
that the interest maturing on the several
interest dates between and including No
vemoer 1, 1902. and July 1, 1903, on the reg
istered eno coupon bonds of the United
States will be prepaid with a. rebate Of
two-tenths Of 1 per cent per month on the
amount prepaid under the following con-
ditions:
Owners of registered bonds desiring pre-
payment must present their bonds to the
treasurer or some assistant treasurer Of
the United States. who will stamp upon
the face Of the bonds the fact Of such pre-
payment and return them to the owners,
with the interest for the periods above men
toned, less the rebate.
National banks owning bonds deposited
with the treasurer Of the United States to
secure circulation or deposits may obtain
prepayment upon application to the treas
urer OF the United States. The bonds 30
held, upon which interest is prepaid, will
be stamped as above indicated.
Coupons maturing upon the dates in
cluded in this circular may be presented
for payment at the ONCE OF the treasurer
Of the United States, or any assistant treas
urer.
I'm calculating the amount Of rebate to
be allowed, any fractional part Of a month
will be reckoned as a full month and the
rebate for such fractional part Of a month
calculated as a full month will be retained
by the United States.
Prepayment upder this circular will be-
gin Wednesday, October 1. 1902, and con-
tinue until November 80, 1902, but prepay
ment OF interest on registered bonds on the
loans Of 1904, 1908 and 1895 will not be made
while the books of those loans are closed. -
Secretary Shaw believes that 105, the price
he offers to pay for government SIS Of 1904
Is reasonable and just and that though the
current quotations are slightly in excess
Of that figure he said today that he re-
garded such excess to be the result Of in
~iation. At the price he offers a private in
%vestor would realize about LIS per cent
for the time the BONDS nave vet TO run.
The amount of SIS Of 1904 now outstand-
ing is 49, 1O. $50.
NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The subtreas-
ury has been directed to anticipate pay
ment Of $3.50, 600 Australian gold deposited
