BIG STRIKE AvERTED.
Miners Delegates Adopt the Report
of Their Joint Scale
Committee.

midnight, during which there was
talk of a great national strike, the
United Mine Workers of America

of last year without change. The re-
port was decided upon at meeting

the following rate prices for mining

| Mining Coal.-Pick mining, so cents per
ton thin vein, Pittsburg; so cents a ton,
Hooking valley; so cents a ton, Indiana

bituminous; 40 cents ton, Danville, ILL.,;
81 II cents. Hooking valley, when run of
mine exists; SIX cents, Pittsburg dis
trict.
No change was made in the ma
chine mining scale from last year,
with the exception that provision
was made that where differences oc-
cur the same shall first be acted upon
by the districts. The action taken
Friday night will be presented as "a
matter of form to the joint confer
ence this morning at Tomlinson hall,
where it will be ratified, and members
of both sides on the scale committee
appointed to draw up the contract
for the next year.

HuFUh CONFEDERATION
IN NEUu JERSEY.
Fierce Fire sueeps It's 1ay Through
City of Paterson Destroying Property Valued at
Millions of Doars-Ful1y 1000 Fans
lilies Left Homeless.

Paterson, N. j., Feb. 10.-A great fire
swept through Paterson Sunday, and
in it's desolate wake are the embers
and ashes of property valued at bout
$s,0o00O0. 1t burned its way through
the business section of the city and
claimed as its own a majority of the
finer structures devoted to commercial,
civic, educational and religious use, as
we'll as scores of houses. There was
but small tribute of life and injury to-
the confagration, but hundreds were
left homeless and thousands without
employment. A relief movement for
the care of those unsheltered and I'M
provided for has been organized, and
Mayor John Henchcliffe said that Pat
ers6n would be able to care for her
own without appealing to the charity
of other communities and states. The
great manufacturing plants of the
place are safe, and the community,
temporarily dazed by the calamity, has
already commenced the work of reor-
ganizatlon and restoration.
The Burned District.
The area of destruction foots up
roughly 25 city blocks. From Main
street to Paterson street, between Van
Houten and Market streets, there is
but little left. On the block bound
ed by Main, Ellison, Washington and
Market streets not a single building
excepting that of the Paterson savings
institution stands. All along the west
side of Main street property is wiped
out, and on the east side also frem
Market to Van Houten streets. Along
the south side of Broadway between
Washington and Church streets great
damage has been done. Van Houten
street is reduced to smouldering deb
ris, so far as buildings are concerned,
for some distance. Ellison street suf-
fered from the neighborhood of Pros
pect street, on it's north side, as far as
Church street. On the south side OF
this street there is widespread ruin
street to the parsonage of the Second
Presbyterian church, near Paterson
street. Market street is pile of ru-
ms from Main street to the Market
street church on the north side and
ON the south side. Nowhere was the
scene of devastation more marked
than north of the Erie railroad in the
district bounded by Sixteenth avenue
and Market street. There was simply
nothing but ashes left to tell that a
busy and populous section of the city
had ever existed. On Washington
street, between Broadway and Market
streets, there is practically nothing
left. Church street is wiped out on its
west side between Ellison and Market
streets, as it is on the east side.
The fire came at midnight Saturday
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-02-14

and was only checked after desper-
ate fight that lasted until late Sunday
afternoon. Every city and town with
in reach of Paterson sent firemen and
apparatus to the relief of the threat
ened city, and it took the united eff
forts of them all to win the battle. A
northerly gale gave the conhagration
it's impetus and carried it's burning
brands to kindle the blaze afresh at
other points. The fremen made stand
after stand before the wall of fire, but
were repeatedly driven back, and when
victory finally came to them they were
grimed and exhausted.

flames. Two deaths were due to the
calamity. One was that of an ole

Between Hope and Fear.
Still, the reports issued through
Mr.. Cortelyou, secretary to the pres
ident, ran between hope and fear Be
ginning with the morning, when the
boy, after an admittedly hard night,
was reported as improved, although
pleurisy in the right lung was men,
toned, this favorable tendency was
continued through the noon state
ment. Then at 2:45 o'clock in the aft
ernoon it was stated that the boys
temperature had risen, that it would
probably remain high, and if any
thing increase little toward morn
ing. This somber tone seemed all
most to neutraliZe the mornings en-
couraging notes. The next report at
$3.50 in the evening showed that not
withstanding the high temperature
the boy had more than held his own
all day and that his condition was
favorable. Hopefulness was increased
by an additional and voluntary re-
port on Mr.. Cortelyou's part at eight
o'clock that the lad was in better
condition than at the same time Mon
day night, although he said there
had not been much change during
the day-meaning that the favorable
condition of the morning had been
practically maintained.
All these reports were authori-
tative, and, in addition, there was a
CHEEKY interview with Secretary of
the Navy John D. Long, after hur-
ried visit of courtesy to his chief, in
which he frankly said that the boy
was better. To confirm this came the
presidents sudden appearance little
later in the afternoon at the new
sporting dome, a recreation house
built by Mr.. Gardner adjoining his
own mansion. The president was
dressed in a suit of hannels and
seemed ready for some exercise on
the new squash court. He did not
play, however, although he remained
in the sunny building nearly two
hours, watching game between Mrs.
James Lawrence and Rev. Sherard
Billings.
The Days Reports.
The reports issued by Mr.. Cortelyou
during the day were of the same ma
ture as those sent to Miss Alice Roose-
welt, Washington. At the earnest re-
quest of the president the reports were
not issued in bulletin form, Mr. Cortel-
you absolutely refusing to give sta
tistics of temperature, pulse and
respiration. In fact, no technicalities
were used, and at his request Quota
lions also were omitted. They were
merely plain statements of the condi-
ton of the boy. Each time one was
given Mr.. Cortelyou cautioned the
newspaper men against making it too
encouraging, for the reason that I'M
favorable ones might have to be is
sued until Wednesday noon. Then
came the interview with Secretary
Long, which contained far more en-
couraging words than any from the
sickroom. The secretary said frankly
that the boy was better, and that both
the president and his wife were much
encouraged. He said that no plan had
been made for the presidents de-
parture, although intimating that if
the disease progressed at the same
rate the boy would probably be i'm
proved sufficiently to allow the presi-
dent to leave for Washington Thurs
day.
