Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 30.-The pub.
lie alliance Of this city, which has been
cndeavoring to bring about settle
ment of the coal strike in the interests
of the business men of the anthracite
region, has sent the following appeal
to President Roosevelt:
"To the President of the United
States: Since the inception of the
berbarous and senseless struggle in
the anthracite coal region, we, the
Eon-combatants, who stand upon neu-
trail ground, have suffered the inevita-
bile fate of such unfortunates. The
tide of battle GIBBS and flows over and
about ,ls. We have endured patiently.
We have petitioned humbly. We had
Hoped for much upon J. P. Morgan's
return. But now, after struggle of
four months duration, a period Of
suffering and progressive business
paralysis, when it seemed to us that
the time was propitious for settle.
.r.ent of some kind, if not as matter
of conc ession to public opinion, yet as
plain business proposition, Mr.. Nor
gan has
Met With His Henchmen
and the edict has gone forth: There
will be no settlement, no arbitration,
nc Cancellation, no mediation, no con-
t,cssions. The fight must go on
"Mr. Morgan has placed ban upon
us which means universal ruin, desti-
tuition, riot and bloodshed
"Is ]. P. Morgan greater than the
1.eople? Is he mightier than the gov
eminent? Will he be permitted to re-
tain this menacing power?
ut is time that the people should
speak. 1t is time that their voice
should be heard.
Representing the interests and
sentiment of nine-tenths of our people,
we appeal to you to use your influence
to stay the judggernaut which brushes
Us. Encouraged by your recent utter
aEces, relying upon your judgment and
patriotism. confident of your moral
courage. we appeal from the king of
the trusts to the president of the peo-
PIE. The Public Alliance.

President Mitchell said last night
that there were no negotiations on for
the settlement of the strike so far as
he knew.

Jamaica and Trinidad Planters Would

Kingston, JAM, Aug. 3O.-The past
two or three months have witnessed a
remarkable recrudescence of the
American annexation idea in at least
two of the largest and most impor-
tant British West India possessions
Trinidad and Jamaica. The leaders of
the agitation are generally planters
ard business men. These point to the
growing prosperity of Porto Rico and
denounce the system of British colon
ial government. They also point to
the desperate state of the sugar in
dustry and to the deplorable condition
of the people of the islands and seri-
oUsly suggest annexation to the Unit
ed States as the only possible chance
of reviving their fallen fortunes. Such
is the view of the planters and bust
ness men; and both together form
very influential class-perhaps the

WERE PLANNING AN tlortmfNT
WOMAN coNFEssEs THAT SHE
AND THE DEAD MAN IN.
TENDED ELoPlNG.

Monroe, Mich, Aug. 30.-Walter Le-
grand, who formerly lived at Toledo,
but who recently removed to Monroe,
went home yesterday at noon and
found q man in the house with his,
wife.
A quarrel followed, during which the
intruder ran out of the house. An Of
ficer attempted to stop him, and, fail
ing in this, shot at him with his re-
volver, but the shots went wild. The,
stranger ran down Third street. a
bowling mob gathering, attracted by
The shots. Some one cried out that the
fellow had assaulted woman. Final
ly the man turned into cornfeld.
Suddenly several shots rang out and
the man was found dead, one of the
shots having penetrated the heart.
No one in the crowd appeared to-
know who the dead man WIS, and it
was some time before it was discov-
cred that he was Joseph La Barge of
Toledo. After the killing some of the
cooler heads of the mob thought to
look up the woman. When questioned
she denied absolutely any assault or
attempt at assault, and said La Barge
was merely
A Friendly Caller;
that she knew him in Toledo She de-
clined, however, to say what the man
and her husband had quarreled about.
In fact, she absolutely refused to tell
even the mans name, and it was only
by accident that the dead mans iden-
tity was learned. She simply said:
"The man was sitting in the parlor
with me when my husband came home.
There was nothing wrong"
Late last evening Mis-. Legrand con-
fessed to the sheriff that she and La
Barge were preparing to elope.
La Barge was painter wei! known
in Toledo and of an old family. 1t is
said that his relatives and associates
are determined to prosecute the men
who were foremost in the mob. 1t was
learned last night that it was known
to certainty who fired the shot that
killed him, and the authorities of To-
ledo and Monroe are working on the
case. No arrests will be made until
after the inquest.
