Almost Immediately after the
President had closed Mr.. Mitchell
arose, and on behalf of the miners
offered to submit all the differences
to arbitration, The operators looked
surprised, but before any reply could
be made President Roosevelt said he
desired that both parties take the
matter under consideration and meet
him again at 3 o'clock. The first
session of the conference had lasted
less than Is minutes. The operators
were driven to their cars in the rail-
road yards. Mr.. Mitchell and his
party returned to their hotel. Both
parties Immediately set to work to
prepare statements in reply to the
Presidents suggestions.
The operators decided to make
separate responses, but before doing
so had discussion of the general
tenor of the statements they would
make. 1t is understood President
Bser communicated his statement to
parties in New York over the long
distance telephone before reading it
to the President. At 3:15 the after
noon proceedings began. President

Mitchell if he, not as president of
the union, but as an individual,
would agree to that. Mr.. Mitchell
promptly replied that he would not.
The operators made it plain that
they would listen to 10 proposition

the conference ended.
Great interest was manifested in
the conference on the part of the
public. On the sidewalks and street
in front of the temporary White
House were throngs of people who
anxiously awaited the result. News
paper men lined either side of the
entrance to the White House from

Underground Railroad Company Appeal
Filed In the L. =. supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22-Counsei for the
Underground Railroad Company Of the
City of New York and the Rapid Transit
Railroad Company has filed in the Supreme
Court a motion for an early hearing of their
suit agains, the city Of New York. the Rapid
Transit Commissioners and the Rapid
Transit Subway Construction Company.
The suit was brought in the Federal
Court for the Southern District Of New
York on July 8, 1901, by the Underground
and Rapid Transit Railroad comparli's
to restrain the building Of the New York
subway under claim Of violation Of prior
rights granted by the State to those COM
panes for its construction. The bill was
dismissed from the District Court owing
to lack 81 jurisdiction, but that question
was certified to the Supreme Court in con-
nection with the appeal taken from that
decision by the lower court.
The complainaEts aver that the case also
involves the question whether the act
authorizing the construction Of the subway y
Is not in contra vention Of the Constitution
Of the United States, and " neither or not
| the act is void because it increased the debt
| Of the city Of New York beyond the limit
permitted by the State Constitution.
Counsel urges as reas on for an early
determination of the suit that the case " ould
not in its regular order he reached and
decided before the early part of 1904, whereas
the defendants have announced in public
prints that the operation OF the underground
railway will be begun durii & the year 1903.

DEWEY on INCREASE OF NAVY.
He Believes We should Build Number
OF l;unbOats or small Cruisers.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2?.-Secretary Moody
and Admiral Dewey had long conversa-
ton at the Navy Department to-day. In
which the Admiral gave his views on GER
tain phases of the question of increasing
the feet. Admiral Dewey disagreed with
thos, naval experts who believe that the
Government should stop he construction OF
unarmored cruisers and should connne
itself entirely, for some time at least. to
building armor-clads only.
While the Admiral expressed himself as
in favor Of augmenting the battleship force
he said that he believed the Government
should build a number Of large gunboats
or small cruisers Of between l.5O0 and 1000
tons, very much of the same class as the
Yorktown, to be used for gunboat service
in time of peace, in places where American
interests need protection, and as auxiliaries
to battleshp squadrons in time Of war.
He thought that these vessels need not nave
| a speed Of more than fifteen knots, and while
this would not be sufficient to enable them
to 90 far from the armor-clad squadrons on
scouting expeditions, they would be last
enough to be useful in war in great many
wavs
views in writing and will give them con-
| sideration. with a view to explaining them
to the naval committees OF Congress

Babcock Of Wisconsin said this afternoon n
