To Move Hotel on Water.

Norfolk. Va. August 4.-One of the
most remarkable feats in moving in.
wolves the Hygeia Hotel, at Old Point
Comfort. The big hostelry, one of the
largest in the United States, will be
moved eight miles across Hampton
Roads.
The moving of frame and brick build.
ings several squares is an easy thing for
the modern engineer, but rarely is a
building moved across such an immense
stretch of water
The Hygeia is a frame building 400
feet long. and the engineers have diff
cult Cask before them
1t will be hard enough to move the
big hotel from its present foundations
TO RATS or boats, but the transportation
to Willoughby Spit, eight miles away,
is the really hazardous part of the un-
dertaking. Tides and winds have to be
taken into consideration, and the plan
ming of the big feat will take some time
before the actual moving begins.
Willoughby Spit needs big hotel.
The Hygeia at present is practically
worthless, although New York Trust
Company holds deed of s72. ZOO for it.
Willoughby Spit has offered $50. 900 to
the Hygeias ownersif they will deliver
the big hotel safe and sound.

With green sloping Gordens

The moon and the stars.

The face of the deep
AS calm as an innocent

White launches fresh painted
Skim overthe lake,
A line like to silver
Is left in the wake;
Above and behind
The black smoke falls away,
To mirror itself
On the face of the bay.
When steal the long twilight
Across the lake side,
A fleet of gay row boats
Push out on the tide;
No sound, but the laughter
From each merry float.
The dip of the oar,
And the swish of the boat.
The wide stretch of water,
The far off shore line;
The waving tree tops
In the path of the wind
Ripe harvests, farm houses.

Cute little grove cottages

Green lawns closely shaven
Adorn the Lake Park:

The fragrance of flowers.
The notes of the song birds
That swing in the bowers.

To gives earth a glimpse

ern Pacific Station, Freight Houses,
Rolling Stock and Side Tracks Were
Destroyed-Large Number of People
Thrown Out of Employment.

Ashland, Oct. 10. - The most de-
structive fire in the history of northern
California has visited the town of Kla-
mathon, at the crossing of the Klamath
river, Siskiyou county, early in the
morning. The entire portion of the
business center is gone. The large saw
mill, sash, door and box factory, and
over 5,000,00 feet of sawed sugar pine
lumber belonging to the mill of John
r. Cook d Son, and operated under
the lease by Hervey, Lindley ..& Co.,
and did damage estimated at $3.50, 900.
1.-THE Southern Pacific company's
station, freight houses, rolling stock
and side tracks were also destroyed.
Most of the dwelling houses of the
town, which are situated ON an eleya-
ton were saved as we'll as one hotel on
a back street. A private car which
was on the railroad tracks, and that
brought number of western capital
lists out few days ago to inspect the
building operations of the Klamath
Lake hrailroad, was rushed down the
track on fire and the contents and the
occupants saved.
The conhagration started in the saw
mill which was one of the largest in
northern California, and the industry
gave employment to several hundred
people. The property, including the
tlmberlands, had been recently sold for
consideration of $5OO,OO0
The fire interrupted freight and pass
enger traffic on the Southern Pacific
lines, and passensger ont he north and
south bound trains We're transferred.
1t is believed that the track will be
repaired and the railroad traffic re-
sumed in IL hours. The fire was visi-
ebl over the country within aradius of
so miles.

STRIKE
IS SETTLED

Washington, Oct. II. - The great
anthracite strike is settled at last.
A commission of six persons, with a
seventh, Carroll d. Wright, as recorder,
will adjust the differences between the
operators and miners. President
Mitchell'of the miners union will take
the necessary steps to call the strike
off. The president will urge immedi-
ate resumption of mining, and the
operators are expected to begin next
week.
Announcement that the great strike
was off was made by Secretary Root
with exuberant good humor at the
White House shortly after 1 O'Clock
this morning. Organized labor has a
representative on the commission in the
person of E. E. Clark, grand chief of
the order of Railroad Conductors, nam
ed as sociologist. The president add
ed Bishop Spalding of Illinois to the list
OF hive members, suggested by the oper-
ators.
AS named, the commission is perfect
ly satisfactory to both miners and oper-
ators. Assent of the miners was given
through President Mitchell and Mr..
Sargent, commissioner of immigration,
and OF the operators through Robert
Bacon and George w. Perkins of the
banking firm of j. P. Morgan q Co.
The final outcome followed series of
conferences, beginning with two DUR
ing the day with Mr.. Mitchell and two
during the night with Messrs. Bacon
and Perkins. Events moved along
quickly at the last, the president being
determined on speedy settlement.
The commission will assemble in few
days and choose a chairman, probably
General Wilson. 1t then will arrange
for sessions and testimony.

shingle Trust Unlawful.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-United
States Circuit Judge Gilbert has rem
dered decision on an appeal in the
United States circuit court of appeals
yesterday, declaring the Washington
Red Cedar Single Manufacturers as
ISOLATION to be trust. The decision
was concurred in by Judges w. w.
Morrow and E. M. Ross. The deci-
sion says that the association is an I'M
lawful combination in restraint of
trade, and has the effect of diminishing
production, abolishing competition and
enhancing prices. The title of the
case was S. A. Gibbs g. Co. against E.
J. McNelly, Michael Earles, d. Nc
Vey, N. Fl. Beckman and others, asso-
ciated under the firm name of the
Washington Red Cedar Shingle Manu-
facturers' association. 1t was an ac-
ton TO recovery damages under pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust act
of July 2, 1890, and was instituted in
the circuit court of Washington.

THEY HAVE AGREED TO PLAN
OF A COMMISSION.
All Questions at Issue to be Presented
The Decision Reached Will be Ac-
cepted as Final - Miners Must Re-
turn to Work When Commission Is
Formed-Three Year Agreement.

Washington, Oct. lathe coal
operators have agreed to the appoint
ment by the president of the United
States of commission, to which shall
be referred all questions at issue be-
tween the companies and their own
employees, whether they belong to a
union or not, and the descision of the
commission shall be accepted by the
operators.
The commission is to consist of an
army or navy engineer officer, an ex-
pert mining engineer (not connected
with the coal mining properties), one
of the judges of the United States courts
of the eastern district of Pennsylvania,
man of prominence who is eminent as
sociologist, and man who, by active
participation in mining and selling
coal, is familiar with the physical and
ommercial features of the business.
The operators also make it part of
their proposition that the miners shall
return to work as soon as the commission
is constituted and shall cease all inter-
ference with non-union men. The
commission is to name a date when it's
findings shall be effective and it's decis-
ion is to govern conditions of employ
ment between the companies and their
own employees for at least three years.

nit to the president a counter PROPOSE
ton for the settlement of the strike.
Mr.. Mitchell will insist that the pre-
sident be given free hand in the Sc
lection of the committee and the terms
under which the board is created be
modified somewhat. 1t is also believed
that the wording of the proposition of
the operators leaving the union out of
the consideration does not meet with
Mr.. Mitchell's approval, and that he
may ask that the wording be changed
SO as to more clearly recognize the un-
ion.
