mission Acceptable to Miners
and Operators.

Washington, Oct. l6.-The great an
thracite coal strike is settled. The
many conferences of the president, the
mine operators and the leader of the
United Mine Workers have at last
borne fruit, and President Roosevelt
has named commission of SIX men to
act as arbitrators of the differences
between the mine operators and oper.
atives.
John Mitchell has won victory, for
in response to his plea that the cause
of union labor had no representative
on such a commission as was demanded
by the operators, President Roosevelt
has, after conference with the oper-
ators, named a commission of six men
instead of five, as the operators asked.
The following official statement an
nouncing the close of the strike was is
sued at the White House at 2:2O a. M:
''After conference with Mr. Mitch
ell and some further conference with
representatives of the coal operators,
the president has appointed the men,

A TARIFF COMMISSION
Cabinet Omccr Says President R0ose-
Welt VIII Favor Plan In
His Coming Message.

Milwaukee, Oct. 15.-That President
Roosevelt will recommend in his forth
coming message to congress the crea-
ton of a tariff commission is the belief
of Postmaster General Payne, as ex-
pressed here Tuesday. Mr.. Payne said
further:
"Ihe president will probab bly, favor
reduction of import duties upon prod
ucts which no longer need protection.
lie is also inclined to favor the crea-
ton of a permanent tariff commission,
which can at all times receive testi-
mony subject TO expert consideration
on the varying interests of production
and trade, submitting its reports and
recommendations to congress, as
other departments of the national
government. This will insure the
thorough and careful compilation Of
all information accessible. and will
save to congressional committees a
vast amount of labor.
"This was the policy outlined by the
president in his speech at Logansport,
Ind, which he had prepared for deliv-
cry at Milwaukee, and which, it is safe
TO predict, will be embodied in his an
nual message to congress. He is
strongly in earnest in these views, as
we'll as in those in relation to reel
procity as feature of our CONNER
cial intercourse with foreign nations.
"Since the adjournment of congress
overwhelming manifestations that the
people favor reciprocity with Cuba in
dictate that the opposition to that
measure has faded away and that con-
gress will at an early day redeem the
pledge made by President Mckinley
for reciprocal trade relations with the
young republic"

Nobody but themselves know precise
ly how much spot cotton they trade

Great Britain. France, Germany and
other Continental countries. Against
their purchases of cotton all over the
South they make large sales of "fu-

deed "a common practice among
firms who deal in the actual cotton.
New York is the great insurance
point. That is to say, firm buys a
large amount of raw cotton there and

York cotton exchange. These are
