Authoritative Statement Made by
Thomas r. Ryan.

New York, October Am authorized
statement regarding the agreement be-
tween the American and British Tobac-
co Companies, was made today by
Thomas f. Ryan, who returned on
Tuesday from London Mr.. Ryan said
that the statements made in several o.
the papers on the morning after his ar
rival, purporting 10 quote his interpre-
tation of the agreement in London, were
inaccurate and in some instances mis-
leading.
AS to the conditions on which the new
agreement was formed, he said today
IT agreement between the repre-
sentatives of h Imperial Tobacco
Company, of England on the one hand
and the Consolidated Tobacco Company
on the other, was mutual in it's charac-
ter. but entirely satisfactory TO both
sides. 1t was accomplished by friendly
conferences, after full consideration Of
the interests of all parties affected. The
agreement was an international char
acter which has not belonged, / think,
to any previous trade arrangement
1T means the reunion OF the repre-
oCLAI 80 VA IL $500 -
Great Britain and America. for the pur-
pose of seeking trade, hand in hand
throughout the world. My visit to Lon
don grew out of an invitation extended
to me in July last. by the directors of
the British Company, after several Of
the directors had visited the United
States and while here had conferred
with Mr. Duke, president Of the Con-
solidated Tobacco Company and myself
regarding the respective interests of the
companies, we representa-. The agree
ment made to transfer to the Imperial
Tobacco Company the business of the
Consolidated Tobacco Company in Eng
land, was made for full and satisfactory
consideration. The American Company
becomes a large shareholder in the Eng
lish Company, with three representa-
tives on it's board of directors. one of
whom is Mr.. Duke.
1.-The Consolidated Tobacco Company
will pursue it's business in he American
field, including not only the United
States but Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Hawaiian islands and the Philippines
without competition from the English
Company. The Imperial Company will
not encounter the competition OF the
American Company in the business of
the United Kingdom Of Great Britain
and Ireland, including Scotland and
Wales. In the new British American
Company, the British Company has
Wales. In the new Britsh-American
Company has two-thirds. The board of
| directors consists of six representatives
of the British Company and twelve of
the American, with Mr.. Duke as its
president, who remains abroad to per-
feet the organization. This British
| American Company will take over the
entire business of the Imperial Compa-
ny and of the Consolidated Company,
in all foreign countries and in the colo
MES of Great Britain, including India,
Canada and Australia. The agreement
made is satisfactory to both sides and
| equitable to all interests represented.

Williamsport. Pa, October Five
masked and desperate burglars, made
a bold attempt TO rob the safe of the
Montoursville Passenger Railway Com
pany, early this morning. In a terrific
battle with revolvers, which followed
he attempt, one OF the desperadoes
was killed n two others slightly
wounded, by Engineer Alem Bly, who
was shot twice by the robbers.
Shortly before . o'clock while Engi-
neer Alem Bly, was at work in the pow
er house of the Montoursville Passenger
Railway Company, he was startled by
a terrific crash, caused by the front door
of the building being battered in with
a heavy plank. Bly, rushed to a desk
which contained his revolver and as
he turned TO face the intruders. he was
met with a fusilade OF shots, from the
revolvers in the hands of five men. who
had the lower part Of their faces cover
ed with handkerchiefs. One of the
shots struck BLY, in the hip n anoth-
er made a flesh wound in the thigh.
The wounds did not disable him, how
ever, and he leveled his revolver and
fired at n of the burglars, who was
several feet in advance of the others.
The bullet pierced the heart of the des-
perado and he fell dead.
The engineer kept firing at the rest
of the gang, who kept up a continuous
fire. Two of them were slightly wound
ed. After his revolver had been empt-
led, Bly, retreated through a rear door
and ran to a nearby factory and arous-
ed the Waterman, who sounded an
alarm by blowing the factory whistle.
While Bly, was absent the robbers
dragged the body OF theiH dead COM
panion outside the building, where they
left it and fed. Up to a late hour nc
trace of them had been found.

EVELYN B. BALDWIN.
The Arctic Explorer is interviewed
in New York.

New York, October 2.-Evelyn &.
Baldwin, the Arctic explorer, arrived
today on the steamship Germanic, OF
the White Star Line. Mr.. Baldwin at
first refused TO talk about the alleged
controversies which had taken place
between him and Captain Johannesen,
of the America, but after hearing that
it had been reported hat the expedl-
ton a been short of food and sup
plies he said:
There is not a word Of truth in the
report of our not having sufficient sup
plies. 1t is easy to explain the trouble
between myself and Captain Johanne-
sen. He wanted to be the whole thing.
That's all. I have learned one good
lesson though-never take a Swede ana
a Norwegian together, along with you,
if you want to avoid trouble. The ice
pilot was a Norwegian and the sailing
master a Swede. There's the whole
thing in a nut shell.
1.-THE Neurological observations taken
and the dredging will be of great inter-
est to science. We manufactured oul
owen hydrogen gas for the balloons
without accident, which is another
thing. l think we deserve credit for. The
knowledge gained of air and ocean cur
rents will also be of great value to
science.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 2.-Presi-

ers, accompanied by District Presidents
Nichols, Duffy n Fahy, left here this
evening for Washington via Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Mitchell conferrd with the
district presidents through the day. 1t
is not known what policy the executive
board of the miners union will MAIN
tain at the conference.
The general feeling is, however, that
President Roosevelt will succeed in
bringing o parties together. The
mining town of Plymouth which has
been free from any disturbance since
the strike began, was the scene OF
much disorder today. Mobs surround
ed the Sterling n North American
washeries and Sheriff Jacobs being un-
able to dispense them, summoned the
military. Colonel Dougherty sent three
companies Of the Ninth regiment to
h scene and they arrested eleven
men charged with rioting. They were
brought before Magistrate Pollock of
this city, who, after a hearing held
them in 81 900 bail each for trial at
court.
A strong guard was placed over the
w~asheries. The washery of the Hollen-
back mine started up work his after
noon. This was a surprise to the
strikers. Despite the conference called
to meet at Washington, the operators
in the Wyoming Valley are very ag-
greSSiye.

ton Of their long and honorable service

quartermasters's department, stationed
at New York; Colonel Chambers Nc
Kibbin, oath infantry, stationed in

BRITISH OR HONDURAS.
Subjects Are Uncertain to Whom
They owe Allegiance.

Mobile, Ala, October 2-Captain Coe,
of the British schooner Clara l.. Dyer,
which has just arrived from Ruatan, re-
ports that there is an intensely uneasy
feeling existing among the British sub
jects in the bay islands of Ruatan, Bo-
nacco and TruXillo in consequence of
Great Britain's ceding those islands to
Honduras.
Since the Islands have been coded to
Honduras, the inhabitants, who have all
along considered themselves British
subjects, are in doubt as to whether
they owe allegiance to Honduras or
Great Britain and in consequence OF
this, have been much disturbed lest they
should be impressed into military SER
vice by the Hondurian government.
There is great probability of a revolu-
ton in the near future. n pres!dea-
tial election takes place early this
month and the two contesting candi-
dates, Manual Bonilla and Juan Angel
Arias are both popular and have strong
backing
1t is feared that the defeated candi-
date will not abide by the decision OF
the ballots, but will rally his forces and
precipitate a revolution. If a revolution
should occur the islanders will be on
the horns of a bad Dilemma not knowing
whether they are British o. 1ondurian
subjects. Some of the have
been drilled but as yet no effort has
been made 10 press them into military
service.

EMPLOYER AND EMPLOYEES.
Before the New England
Cotton Manufacturers
ton.

New York, October AT today's ses-
sion OF the semi-annual convention Of
the New England Cotton Manufactur-
ers Association, in this city. a paper
dealing with the abo question was
read by Charles w. bennett. OF North
Adams. Mass.
Mr. bennett said. among other things:
Colonel Carroll D. Wright, in his re-
port of the coal strike situation, gave
as the fundamental reason for the bad
condition Of things, the utter lack OF
confidence between employees and en-
ployers. Established confidence be-
tween the help and the manage
ment, is a valuable thing for
any company. 1t is much hard
er to make trouble when such a
feeling exists. To be valuable, il is
not necessary hat il be universal. That
is too much to hope for. But If the
best help feel that their employers are
willing to meet them on common
ground and do the best for them, that
business conditions permit il is a great
point gained. Exact justice to every
employee no matter how small or in
significant. should be insisted upon.
More than one strike has been caused
by an laundering or tactless
overseer. Amid all the trouble and tur-
moil and disputes, the law making and
law breaking, incident TO contests be-
tween employer and employee one great
trouble stands mistaken n unmoved,
viz, that fundamentally it is a moral
question of right and wrong, and II will
never be settled by greed and violence
or either side"
