Line To-day.
London, Oct Sir Thomas Lipton's
third challenge for a series of races
for the Americas cup was signed this
afternoon at Belfast, Ireland, by the
officials of the Royal Ulster Yacht
Club. Hon. Chas. Russell represented
Sir Thomas Upton. The challenge was
Immediately posted and goes to New
York on the White Star Line steamer
Oceanic. which sails from Liverpool.
The fact that the challenge was mail
ed to New York was not published here
to-day, but the comments made on the
of it by a representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press indicate that yachting
men in Great Britain identify them
selves as completely and enthusiastic
cally with this challenge as they did
with the two which preceded it.
Mr.. Fife has approached the problem
of producing a winner in a manner
radically different from that employed
in the construction of any previous
challenger Hitherto the idea domi-
mating the design was to secure length
and power. The lines and measure
ments of the Shamrock III suggest
that the first idea has been to get a
boat better suited to autumn weather
off Sandy Hook. The challenger will
be built at the Dennys yard and
nickel steel will be employed through
out her frames, plating. deck and

Mission Entrusted TO Carroll ID.
Wright by President.
Washington, Oct. THE following
statement was made public at the
White House this afternoon:
ION Monday, Oct. 6, Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of labor. Went
to Philadelphia and gave to Mr.. John
MITCHELL the following from the Pres
ident:
If Mr.. Mitchell will secure the i'm
mediate return to work of the miners
in the anthracite regions the President
will at once appoint a commission to
Investigate thoroughly into all the mat
tiers at issue between the operators and
miners, and will do all within his pow
er to obtain a settlement of those ques-
tions in accordance with the report Of
the commission
Mr.. Mitchell has taken this matter
under consideration, but the President
has not yet been advised of any de-
cison."
The President was in consultation to-
day for almost two hours with mem
bers of the cabinet relative to the coal
strike situation. He also talked over
the situation with DR.. Albert Shaw
and Dr. Lyman Abbott. About II 80
o'clock Frank P. Sargent, commission
er general of immigration and for years
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
i've Firemen, arrived at the White
House from his trip to Philadelphia,
where he went as an emissary of the
PRESIDENT to convey to President Mitch
ell of the United Mine Workers Union
the proposition of President Roosevelt
mat the miners resume work. Mr..
sargent had not succeeded in seeing
Mr.. Mitchell. The President, however,
mad heard from Commissioner of Labor
Wright, who saw Mr.. Mitchell on the
Same errand last night in Philadelphia,
and the latter's report was that Mr..
Mitchell desired time to consider the
proposition and lay it before his as
Sociates. After a conference of an hour
between the President, Attorney Gen
efaI Knox, Postmaster General Payne,
Mr., Sargent and James S. Clarkson,
was decided to give out the above
statement

vrill,esbarre, Pa. Oct. THE two
-.;noinaI features of the anthracite
soo1 strike which claimed public at
.o,+;or in the coal field to-day were:
,ciu the miners yield to the desire of
,,,as;dent Roosevelt for them to re-
.,rn 70 work and investigate after
,,.ords and will the mine operators be
ohla to carry out their promise to pro-
o,ce enough coal to relieve the situa-
zion if given the protection of the full
military power of the state? After a
most careful inquiry among the dis
trct officers (not including the district
presidents, who are in Buffalo) and
the rank and file of mine workers. it
was found that sentiment is strongly
against accepting the Presidents prop
osition in it's present form. AS to the
otber feature of the situation as it ex-
lists tonight, opinion is divided and
will remain so until the real test comes.
1t is noticeable that the strikers
show a firmer stand than they did be-
fore Gov. Stone acted last night. Ma
tional Board Member John Fallon, who
was the highest in authority at strike
headquarters to-day, said the men will
remain as they are-frm to the end.
The general comment that it is now
I'D to the operators to mine coal now
that they have the entire state militia
protection, which they have been ask
ing for, is not shared by all officials of
the company. 1t is claimed the state
has yet to show what it proposes to
do.
Twenty-Five hundred striking mine
workers of the Prospect, Oakdale and
Midvale cOllieries of the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company met in this city to-day
and 1t was announced after the meet
ing that they had unanimously decided
to remain on strike until they get some
concessions.
The calling out of the entire military
force of the state did not cause a SEN
aation in the Wyoming Valley. Wilkes
barre City and the surrounding coun-
try were about as quiet toStiay as any
previous day since the suspension was
inaugurated.

is whether or not President Mitchell

a convention it is thought the vote will
be to accept the Presidents propo-

a danger it is quite generally believed
