Of the arbitration committee appointed by
President Roosevelt to adjust the differ

and their employees began to-day. Briefly
stated, the days work Will consist or gen.
eral inspection Of the inside and out
side workings Of coal mines and the homes
and. surroundings of the workmen. All
of the region lying north Of here to Forest
City, q stretch Of twenty-five miles, will
be gone over. This viii take up the entire
day. Tomorrow and Saturday the min :
Ing region from here south to Wilkesbarre
win be looked over.
The commission Is making this tour so
that the members may gain better idea
of mining In order to understand the testi-
mony that will be given by experts on
both sides CT the controversy. No testi-
mony will be taken during the inspection
trips. The commission party consists OF
fourteen persons.
The entire party, which also included

number Of newspaper correspondents. left
the Delaware & Hudson railroad station

On the run up the Lackawanna Valley.
commissioners In the observation car
were shown the points Of interest. In
the car was very large map showing
the veins Of coal between Scranton and
the upper edge of the coal field. The COM
missioners showed great interest In the
map and asked the superintendent many
questions.
Commissioner Watkins who has an ex-
pert knowledge Of mining having been
an operator at one time also explained In
detail many features Of coal mining. In
giving their explanations the experts often
used technical terms such as ''robbing the
pillars" In each case where a technical
term was used a commissioner would ask
its meaning.
' Names Of the Party.
The news that the presidents commits
sforers would go to Forest City on a spe-
cial train spread through the upper valley

the various stations along the line. The

city. The council has been waiting for
just such action on Russells part. Hast
ening for cover with the first OmineuS
murmurings from the grand jury room,
which foreshadowed the downfall OF the
Ames administration, the bosom friend
Of DR.. Ames has been absent since May
~. He was said to be travelling for a
paint house In Indiana, but no definite
information as to his whereabouts had
been received until to-day.
"As will not be able to attend the next
meeting" he wrote, II hereby resign from
the board of charities and corrections
Mayor Jones promptly Endorsed an &C
ceptance and will send the resignation to
the council Tomorrow night.
It is known that Russell did not decide
to sever his connection with the board
until he realized that there was not the
slightest chance Of his holding over long
enough to try and curry favor with the
next administration. Two weeks ago a
city official heard from a friend Of Rus
sells in New York, who urged him to do
all in his power to postpone action on
Russell's enforced resignation until after
Jan. /. The officer blasted all such hopes
by replying that no terms other than an
unconditional surrender would be enter
tanned. Persuaded that the game was up,
Russell concluded to anticipate tomorrow
nights action and make his withdrawal
from office look like voluntary act on his
part. 49,
Urged to action by the fact that Rus
sells active connection with the board
had ceased-as a. member Of which he
nevertheless continued to draw salary
Mayor Jones more than a month ago
recommended to the council that he be
suspended. In order to give him a chance
to come back to Minneapolis and ex-
plain matters If he could, but more par
ticularly with the idea Of giving him
chance to resign, the council voted to
postpone action until tomorrow nights
meeting. The mayor argued that the
transaction Of the boards business. was
being seriously handicapped by the con-
tinued absence of one of it's members.

article entitled "Vulgarity in Wealth. in

dearest enemy, Ouida, did g. year ago.

the United States Is a kind of rare show

'but her strength is chiefly conferred in
dollars, and her influence in the social
world teaches that dollars are the only
ware. English society has been sadly
vulgarized by the American taint.''
Morgan's Greedy TentacIes.
Miss corelli does not approve OF either
Morgan or Carnegie.

writes, "a moneyed octopus stretching out
his greedy tentacles in every direction and
striving to grasp the British shipping in
dustries and interests. Everywhere it Is
devourtng everything in its deadly grip,
which, if it is permitted to hold, would
mean mischief and loss of prestige to
country, though no doubt 1t might create
rejoicing in America"
Carnegie "eiped."
Mr.. Carnegie is freely abused for his
generosity in donating libraries. He is
called % poor human biped,'' is accused
of patronage, ostentation and swagger.

of Carnegie strewing free libraries all
over the surface of the country If they

MOUNTED POLICE FOR YoRKToN
Government Takes Steps to Provide
-. Forces to Patrol the District.

Special to The Journal.
Yorkton, Assinaboia, Oct. 80. - The
army Of Dukhobor fanatics is hourly In
creasing in number and while up to the
present no acts Of violence have been
committed, so far as can be learned, the
government has taken the precaution to
rush squad of mounted police to the
scene, and further forces are in readiness
to patrol the district. -
The men and the greater part Of the
women and children camped outside
Yorkton. "A few women and children &C
copied shelter from townsfolk.
Late to-day the government officials
endeavored to induce the Dukhobors to
return to their farms. This step was the
signal for fresh outburst of praying and
singing, resulting in the evening in a
general exodus southwark The federal
authorities are seriously considering the
employment Of force to make them return
to their homes. This is the more neces-
sary as winter is at hand and their stu
alton will be appalling.

weeks ago. 1t is known that the admin
istration is willing to yield some of It's
proposals in the reciprocity matter, but
this will not be done until the Cuban gov
eminent agrees to carry out the pledge Of
the Cuban constitution to permit the
United States to establish coaling stations
on the island With this purpose in view
there has been within the last twenty
four hours a virtual shift of the negotia-
lions from the state to the war depart
ment.
This does not mean that the irritation
caused by Cuba's surprising rejection OF
the Hay-Squiers treaty has put danger
GUS strain on the relations between the
United States and Cuba, but it does mean
that the administration is determined to
hold Cuba strictly to the terms of the
Plat amendment on the vital important
matter Of naval bases.
With the view of affecting an early
settlement of this phase Of the question
it is thought that rather sharp note
will be sent to the Palma government In a.
few days through Minister Squiers calling
attention to the need of the United States
for naval bases at convenient and strateg-
ical points in Cuba and reminding the
responsible Cuban authorities that the
Plat amendment Is not only an integral
part of the: organic law Of Cuba. but that
It also is a statute of the United States
directing the president to do certain things
when the conditions prescribed by that
amendment have been complied with by
Cuba. ! .-l.<.- - -. > ~.
The president has not yet withdrawn
all the military forces Of this country
from Cuba. Several batteries Of artillery
still are stationed on the island both
as a convenience to. the Cuban govern
ment and as fulfllment of the terms
of the treaty Of Paris. There is no like
lihood that in the present unsatisfactory
state of affairs these troops will be with
drawn Their places eventually may be
taken by marines and sailors after Cuba
has lived up to her promise to grant coal
ing stations. But until that promise is
kept it Is contended by legal experts the
president has no; authority to withdraw
wholly the troops OF the United Statse
from the island. It is believed that these
points will be covered thoroughly in the
note which, it is thought, will be sent to
Havana in a few days. = %S

CITY. Rev. Mr. Steelman has been one OF
the most prominent Baptist divines in this

religious experience and profound study.
Recently he had a vision in which he saw
the second coming Of Christ as portrayed
in the Book of Revelations and the spot
where the Savior first appeared on earth
was in Zion City, near Chicago. He knew
but little of Dowieism up to this time but
began an investigation. The announce

The unlawfulness of the methods adopted
to coerce people who, after all, had COM

law. seemed at length to have dawned on
the redoubtable commander Of the official
forces, which then retreated southwards,
the Dukhoborski following in their wake.
The unwisdom of provoking 500 stalwart
men, to wrath by riding them down with 4
few horsemen reflects no glory on the mil

to predict the outcome at present.
