several hours in conference on j.
Pierpont Morgan's yacht Corsair. which
was anchored in the North river. Sec
rotary Root, who had come from Wash
ington, Friday night. to meet Nj.
Morgan, it is believed in behalf of

Mr.. Morgan entered and the secretary
was driven away. 1t was learned that
at this time d. II. Bacon Of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron CO., and Chair
man Thomas of the Erie Railroad. were

animated conversation with Mr.. Nor

MAINE G. A. r. PARTY
Leaves Washington for Trip to Battle.
field Of Gettysburg.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 1O.-(SpeciaD
Yesterday. the time of our delegate
was taken up in the work of our en-
campment. The meetings were held II
the Congregational church, corner o
10th and X streets, N. w., very ap
propriate and convenient place. Ey
| erything was very harmonious.
Commander-in-Chi Ell Torrance
| was troubled with a severe throat
trouble. but succeeded in reading the
most OF his closing address and report
of his work for the past year. The bal
ance of the forenoon was devoted to
reports of other officers and commit
tees. The election OF officers came up
in the afternoon. There were four can
didates for this position. but Comrade
Sickles withdrew. leaving Gen. Stew
art of Pennsylvania. Gen. Black of
Illinois. and Col. John McElroy Of
Washington, ID. c.
The successful candidate was Gen.
Stewart, who Is now assistant adjutant
general of the militia Of Pennsylvania,
who are engaged in quelling the dis
turbance caused by the striking coal
miners in that state. The report Of the
committee on the pension work OF the
G. A. r. was very long and interesting
to the comrades. The encampment was
visited by delegations from the La
dies of the G. A. X. and the Daughters
of Veterans. who made reports of the
work done by them.
After receiving invitations from At
lantic City. N. j., San Francisco. Cal,
and Saratoga. N. Y. many views were
given on the different points relating to
the same which resulted in voting for
San Francisco by quite a large ma
jOrity.
During our visit here. many Of the
comrades have visited many places of
interest in and out of the city, the diff
ferent battlefields in which they were
either engaged or interested In, and
many relics of all kinds have been col
lected by them as souvenirs.
The papers here give the estimated
number of comrades who took part In
the parade of Wednesday as $4,000. and
the number of visitors in the vicinity
of 100000. The weather during the
whole of the time we have been IN
Washington has been beautiful. Every
minute has been enjoyed by the Maine
party, but there has been reason for
some faultfinding on the part Of some
who came here without really engag-
ing rooms in advance. as in several in
stances known the agreements adver-
tised so freely were not according to
promises made.
The comrades of Maine took up
subscription among them and hired the
Rossini G. y. X. Band of over 30 pieces
for the parade. They gave us some
very excellent music, which helped the
boys very much during the march and
added very much to their appearance
in the line.
Our party will start at $40 tomorrow
morning. for Gettysburg. Some of us
have been there several times, and are
still much interested in this place. but
many Of them are making their first
visit. More anon.

ROOT SAW MORGAN
But Nothing Was Done About
Ending the Strike.
Operators Said to Have Divided the
Country Into Districts
And to Be Dividing Coal as Equally
as Possible.

Washington. Oct. 1..-Secretary
Root, who returned to Washington. last
night, refused to discuss his interview
with j. Pierpont Morgan, Yesterday.
further than to say that he did not
carry message from the President to
Morgan and did not telegraph the
President from New York, yesterday,
as has been stated. The fact that Mr.,
Root did not now consider his confer
ence with Mr.. Morgan of any particu-
lar Significance. seems To be apparent,
as he did not see the President, today,
and it is supposed that he did not have
anything to communicate to the Presi-
dent indicating u speedy termination
of the strike.
Senator Quay of PENNSYLVANIA, saw
the President for an hour. today, and
at the close of the conference the
statement was made that there was
nothing to say OF course it was
known that the Senator came to dis
cuss the strike situation but what In
formation he conveyed or what sug-
gestiOns he received cannot be stated.
The senator departed Immediately af-
ter the conference for Philadelphia.
Little information as to the strike
situation could be obtained in WASH
inGtOn. today. 1t is understood that
the operators are glad to have their
side of the case laid before the Presi-
dent and especially the work they are
doing to supply coal.
1t is said that they have divided the
country into districts and will attempt
to equaliZe the supply so that no one
community will suffer; also that the
railroads will make special arrange
ments to handle soft coal so as TO sup
ply all who can make use Of 1t in place
for the anthracite.

Can Work the Mines.

Scranton. Pa, Oct. 12.-This is the
beginning of n week which 1t is gen
orally believed will put to test the
claim Of the operators that they will
be enabled to start UP their collieries

claim of the United Mine Workers or
panfzation as expressed in Wednesday y
resolutions that the strikers will not

even though the entire military force
Of the United States should be here IL

With a determination to prove their
claims, the operators have been Tor the
past week making supreme effort u

to some extent Is evidenced by an

operations in the course Of a few days

inc IN n resumption at certain col

ton. Claim is also made on the opera
tors' side that the forces at colltcrics
already working are to be largely IN
creased during the week.
The United Mine Workers leaders
continue to assert that the military car
do nothing towards inducing men e
return to work and that all the fnef
