 Admits Meeting Wright, but Will
 Divulge Nothing.
 WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 7.-Pres- ident John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America slipped out of town before dawn for Philadelphia, where he met Carroll D. Wright, Unit ed States commissioner of labor, who is President Roosevelt's personal rep resentative on matters pertaining to the anthracite coal strike. MT. Mitch ell returned here at night unaccom- panied ana unannounced ana made the simple statement that he had met the labor commissioner. He refused ab- solutely to discuss his visit to Philadel- phia, declined to say where in Phila- delphia he met MT. Wright or what passed between them.
 Interest in MT. Mitchelps mysterious tHp was intense all day and evening about headquarters. All the local dis trict leaders called, and scores of mine workers were in evidence. No one seemed to know anything, and all were of the belief that some sort of a move is contemplated. Immediately on the return of the strike leader he was be- sieged, but he refused to see any one until after he had his supper. He granted the newspaper correspondents a brief interview, simply telling them he met Mr. Wright, and then he and the district presidents went into con- ference.

Urges the President to Call an Extra g
 Session of Congress.
 LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 7.-W. J. Bry- an says President Roosevelt should be commended for his efforts to settle the miners strike. He suggests. however, that, since the operators decline to ar- bitrate, the presidents hands are tied and urges him to call an extra session of congress. Five measures, MT. Bryan says, should be recommended for pas sage. These are, in MT. Bryan's lan- guage:
 "A law establishing national board of arbitration, consisting of three to five members, to consider and report on all controversies between corpora tions engaged in interstate commerce and their employees; law abolishing government by injunction; law that will discriminate between the natural made man, created by the Almighty, and the corporate giant, created by leg islation; a law taking the tariff off coal; law which will prevent rail- roads engaged in interstate commerce from operating coal mines except for the purpose of supplying fuel for their own engines"

 SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 7.-The an- nual conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, with one exception the largest ever held, has just closed.
 The Mormon church has missions in every civilized country in the world, and nearly all of them were represent ed at the conference just closed. Utah, Idaho Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Canada and Mexico, where the church fourishes, were represented by thou sands. It is estimated that 10000 peo- pie have attended the conference meet ings.
 The growth of the church, as shown by missionaries and the church reports, has been remarkable in the past year. It is no longer the policy of the Mor- mon church to encourage emigration to the home of the church in Utah, but rather to establish communities in the states where converts are made. This same policy is being carried out by for eign fniss;opr,..e

OBJECT OF THE MEETING UNKNOWN.
Commissioner Sargent Has g Long Interview With the President. RumOrs of am Appeal to the
 Mine Workers Leader.

PHILADELPHIA,O Oct. 7.-President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America paid mysterious visit to this city yesterday and after remain ing here about six hours returned to Wilkesbarre. MT. Mitchell arrived here on the Buffalo express at 7:2S. He was unattended, and no person met him at the station Mr. Mitchell passed out of the railroad station to the street, and from that time Tntil he reappeared at the station shoi0.y after noon his movements are unknown. He boarded a train at 2O2 o'clock for Wilkesbarre.
 It was later learned that President Mitchell had met Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, but all efforts to locate MT. Wright proved futile. As MT. Mitchell was about to board the train for Wilkesbarre he was asked if he had met an emissary from the pres- ident or if he had received any com munication from MT. Roosevelt. He declined to answer all questions ex- cepting those referring to the situation in the coal regions, which, he said, was unchanged.

Coal Importations to Be Favored.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-The treas ury department has sent the following letter to the collectors of the principal ports of entry in the United States: Reports indicate that quite a large quantity of coal is being imported. If any portion of this should arrive at your port, the department desires ev- cry facility afforded for it's prompt de- livery. So far as may be give consign- ments of coal the preference over ev- erything else and for the present solve all reasonable doubts in favor of the coal imDorter."

Buying Coal Abroad.

LONDON, Oct. 7.--One hundred thou sand tons of coal were sold on the Newcastle h'xchange yesterday for shipment to the United States. Some of the steamers owned by big concerns, such as Elder, Dempster & Co, the Leyland line and Johnston line, are now loading coal at Cardiff and Liver pool. It is not expected that sufficient anthracite coal will be obtained to sup ply the American demand.

Coal Sealed Cars.

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-The railroads terminating in Jersey City are sending in the coal for their engines in sealed cars. The reason given is that at the present prices and the scarcity along the various lines there would be too much temptation for it to be stolen, and the coal which now reaches the terminals comes in box cars.

Early, Morning Fire.

Flames were discovered bursting
between the three small frame
buildings at the corner OF King and
Fort streets shortly after 2:30 o'clock
this nprning. The alarm was sent
in by the officer on beat sat Hotel
street. When the fire department
reached King street the flames had
spread from the roof OF the Chinese
store TO the old frame two story
building occupied by West the
painter, on the King street aide.
The upper story and the roof were
in flames and for a few minutes
there looked to be a general confia-
grafton. Two streams OF water
were turned on the blaze, one on the
weat building and the other through
the Chinese store and ! within ten
minutes the FIRE was under controll
The Chinese store, which was q
joint tobacco and tailor shop and a
bootblacking establishment in one,
was gutted by fire and water and
everything thrown into Fort street,
The rear workshop of Biart's
Jewelry store was burned out, and
the back frame walls OF the Manu-
featuring Harness Company were
charred and considerable water
found its way into the establish
ment.

TOPICS OF TIE DAY.

We read in morning paper that
our Caucasian artisans are about to
organize for the purpose OF defense
against the incoming wave OF
Oriental laborers. From the stand
point of the artisans this is legiti-
mate action aud possibly timely
one. For the past three months a
majority of the, lS steamers arriving
from the Orient have brought from
one hundred to three hundred
Japanese laborers. 81
Z II is generally understood that
these recent arrivals come here
under some arrangement made with
the Planters Association, through
an agent who recently visited the
Orient, and that mapy more are to

follow. The purpose being to in
troduce laborers enough to warrant
concerted action to break down the
current wage for plantation field
laborers. This action is proper
one from the planters point of view.
But there is another point OF view;
that of the citizan of this territory
who is neither an artisan nor a
planter How is this man to view
the proposed action of the artisan,
and the ever encroaching action OF
the planter. This man may be in
trade, or he may be- practicing a
profession, and he may or may not
have family and homestead. In
either case he has driven his stake
into the spil OF Hawaii nei with the
idea OF permanent residence.
