COAL CONCLUSIONS.

From the Indianapolis News.
Mr. Mitchell is wise in declaring that
the recognition of the miners union is
the great thing and that he will give up
all other things to effect a settlement
on that basis and that this he will not
give up His critics should ask them
selves If this is unreasonable before
condemning it. All the railroads of the
country are run by agreement with the
brotherhoods of locomotive engineers
and locomotive hremen The great bulk
of the bituminous coal industry of the
country is conducted in the same man
ner. committees of the operators and of
the miners meeting annually and ad-
justing the terms of employment for the
year following 1t is thus in almost ev-
cry industry in the country. What is
there in the anthracite coal industry
that should make it unfair that a SINH
lar plan should prevail therein; and is
Mr. Mitchell extreme in standing out for
an arrangement that works perfectly in
other coal mines and in many indus
tries.
Let US not be fantastic nor obstinate.
The anthracite coal miners are not ask
ing to own or run the anthracite coal
mines by this demand any more than
the bituminous miners own and run
those mines. AS to obstinacy. let us
recognize the force of the words of
Mayor Low. of New York:
IF the presidents good offices are in
effective, it is time to find out whether
there is any law in the land capable of
dealing with situation that threatens
as much harm to the country as a pub
lie enemy could inhict."
AS a practical question the country is
going to have anthracite COAL and it can
not be made to see that the conditions
of getting it that prevail in other in
dustries is unfair or impossible in the
anthracite industry.

CONSULTS CABINET.
President Roosevelt Discusses
Coal Troubles Further.

Washington, Oct THE president
was in consultation today for almost
two hours with members of the cabinet
relative to the coal strike situation. He
also talked over the situation with Dr.
Albert Shaw and DR.. Lyman Abbott
About II: 80 o'clock Frank P Sargent
commissioner general of immigration,
and for many years chief of the Broth
erhood of Locomotive Firemen, arrived
at the White House from his trip to
Philadelphia, where he went as the
emissary of the president to convey Mr.
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
association the proposition of President
Roosevelt that the miners resume work.
Mr.. Sargent had not succeeded in seeing
Mr.. Mitchell. The president, however.
had heard from Commissioner of Labor
Wright. who saw Mr.. Mitchell on tho
same errand last night in Philadelphia.
and the latter's report was that Mr.
Mitchell desired to consider the PROPOSE
ton and lay it before his associates.
After a conference of an hour between
the president, Attorney General Knox.
Postmaster General Payne Mr.. Sargent
and General James S. Garrison. it was de-
cided to give out the above statement.
This was prepared and issued by Secretary
Cortelyou shortly before o'clock.

GO WAY BACK, LANSING.
Topeka Now Has Mysterious Skele-
ton of It's Own.

J. F. Cecil. the well known nursery
man, unearthed a shelton While working
on his ground last evening. He was
digging a ditch within a few feet of his
front gate preparatory to putting in
some drain pipe and when about two
feet OF earth had been removed the
skeleton was brought to light
The skeleton is almost perfect, al
though some of the rib bones are miss
ing and the thigh bones are not in such
good condition. The other bones are
well preserved, especially the bones Of
the face The teeth are nearly perfect
only two front ones being missing.
From the looks of the skeleton the man
must have been of unusual height.
Near the bones was found a crescent,
presumably of silver. and inside of il
was a medal. Pieces of walnut boards
were also found. Mr.. Cecils theory is
that the body was Pre- baby buried much
deeper, but in the years that have
passed the rains have washed the earth
away leaving tse body so near the sur
face that it was finally discovered.

PRESIDENTS POLICY.
Negro Bishops Pleased With
Outlook.

Washington, Oct bishop Alexander
Walters of New Jersey, Bishop G. W.
Clinton of North Carolina and Rev. l.. L.
CarrutherS of New York, representing the
executive committee OF the Afro American
council, called upon President Roosevelt
today to ascertain his attitude toward the
movement among certain Republicans OF
the south to exclude the negroes from
participation in the councils of the party.
They were especially solicitous of ascer-
tanning whether the president endorsed the
action of the Republicans in North Caro-
lima and Alabama with this end in view.
They were presented to the president by
General James Clarkson, surveyor of the
port of New York. After the interview the
colored men expressed themselves as
highly gratified with what the president
had said to them.
They announced that the president had
stated to them that his actions in all mat
ters affecting the race was his answer as
to his attitude toward the colored men;
that in appointments, the character, the
intelligence. the esteem in which the ap-
plfesnt was held in the community in
which he lived would be the first consid-
erations and that no man would be ex
Guided or appointed because of his color.
That he heartily disapproved of the ef-
forts of certain Republicans in the south
to exclude the negIaes from participation
in politics was known, SO they represented
the president as having stated, to those in
authority in the movement. Moreover, it
also was stated that the president had
cited his ;1etion in removing District At
torney Vaughn of Alabama who was the
head of the white Republican movement
in the state, evidence of mis- attitude.
1t is intimated that this attitude would be
further emphasized in the appointment of
his successor.
When Bishop Walters and his associates
departed they expressed theinss'"as as
completely satisfied with the president
attitude and it is understood thRt they
will issue a statement defining their posi-
ton as well as the presidents atGgtnAS.

OPERATORS CONSULTED.
Move in Strike Situation Regarded as
Significant

Buffalo, Oct. when the committee
and the miners officials met at 2 O'Clock
it was announced that one of the men,
bers had been in communication with a
prominent coal operator. The fact that
negotiations between the committee and
President Mitchell had progressed tc
such a stage that it was deemed adj
visable to consult one of the operators
was regarded as significant. 1t had
been stated by several members of the
committee early in the day that no I'M
Outstanding existed between the oper-
atOrS and manufacturers, and that no
step in that direction would be taken
until some feasible plan had been set
tied upon by the conference.
A statement of today'S proceedings
will be given out on adjournment.

hold up the fast Rock Island passenger
train westbound. A number of shots
were fired into the coaches but no one
was hurt. The train had just entered
the canyon where in 1895 a desperate
train robbery was committed by the
Jennings gang, when a number of shots
were fired at the train. Three rife but
lets passed through the coach windows,
causing a panic among the passengers.
while several others struck the sides of
the car The engineer increased the
speed of the train. There is no clue to
the identity of the road men.

MOB OF WOMEN
Throw Rocks and Clubs at Nom
Union ShamOkin Miners.

Shamokin. Pa, Oct. Late this
afternoon mob of 1000 men, women
and children assembled on the hill near
the Royal Oak colliery of the Lewellyn
company near here and threw rocks
and clubs at the non-union men because
they were aiding in the preparation of
coal. The mob grew so threatening that
Frank Lewellyn, one of the owners, or
dered a temporary cessation of work
and called on Sheriff Dietrich to send
troops. Troops are expected from
Mount Carmel. The mob is watching
for the non-unionists who are still at
the mines to go home.
