Resolution. .

Detroit, Oct. 1.-THE 1856 dele
gates, representing eleven states, who
attended the interstate conference on
the coal situation here, adopted reso-
buttons, after much debate, urging the

interstate commerce act against the
coal companies and criminal proceed
ings against their officers; %petitioning
the governor of Pennsylvania to call
q special session of the legislature of
that state toscondemn all the coal-car-
rying railroads and sufficient of the
mines to supply the demands of the
people.
Further. the resolution petitions the

SENATORS AGAIN CONFER.
Seeking a Way to Force the Strike
to an End.

Seeking a Way to Force the Strike
to an End.
New York, Oct. 11.-Continuing
their efforts to bring about a solution
of the anthracite coal strike Senators
Quay and Penrose of Pennsylvania
and Senator Platt and Governor Odeil
of New York again met during this
morning for further conference. The
meeting place was Senator Platt's pri
vate Office in the down town business
district. The conference began short;
ly after 10 o'clock, but none of the
coal operators nor any one represent
ing their interests appeared. The alb,
sence of any representative Of the
operators side of the dispute was
regarded as indicative that the morn
ing conference between the politicians
would be devoted to an effort to dis
i've some means of forcing the
strike to an end. 1t is known that
during the two long conferences held
Thursday, which were participated in
by Messrs. Plat, Quay, Penrose and
Odell on the one side and a number
of the leading coal road presidents
on the other, that the last named par
ty firmly declined to recognize the
III JAoL pOl1LlS Sou1u Ill d1ly
way enter into a possible strike settle
ment. The operators assured the po-
litical representatives that the regard
ed the dispute as ~embodying questions
solely and entirely between
Themselves and Their Emnloyes,
and in the business management of
their properties. These statements
were elected by the assertion from
the other side that a continuance OF
the strike for two weeks would i'm
peril the success of the Republican
party ip the two great states of Penn
sylvania and New York. They said
that with the advent of cold weather,
accompanied by a coal famine, the
strike would assume an Importance
that would overshadow the polls. The
operators, however, were not moved
by this presentation and reiterated
that politics could not enter into their
business. Following this statement
of their position by the coal men, the
politicians intimated very broadly
that a prolongation of the struggle
would pave the way to legislation
hurtful to coal corporation interests.
In fact, according to one of the coal
operators present, this latter state
ment was made in terms so broad that
they regarded it a threat. Their re-
ply was a restatement of their unal-
terable determination to stand their
ground as at first outlined to the con-
ference. trusting 70 the integrity Of
the judicial system to protect them
from adverse legislation.

OLD TIMES ON THE RIVER.

The steamer Washburn, Captain
Marsh, arrived at Washburn from Fort
Stevenson this week with a barge
loaded with wheat from Mannhaven.
Captain Marsh says that he is the first
mar THAT ever landed a steamer at
Fort Stevenson. At that time the
landing was where the buildings now
stand, about one mile from the river.
Captain Marsh says: in August
1867 we were coming from Fort
Benton with the steamer Ida Stockdale
and were hailed by soldiers camped at
what is now Fort Stevenson. General
Terry came on board and pressed us
into service at $500 a day. We were
not hard to press. Captain Calhoun.
who. is captain of the Pittsburg and
Cincinnati packet was our clerk. We
took on board General Terry, General
Holihurd, General Comstock, DR.. Tay-
lor, Major Twinny, and Capt. O'Toole
and took them to Fort Benton. They
had marched the army from st. Paul,
past Devils Lake, and had struck the
Missouri river at that point. General
Holihurd, alone returned with us
when we arrived alt Fort Stevenson on
our way down. We found great ex-
citement as the Indians had just at
lacked the camp and killed a number
of soldiers. They retreated down the
river, the soldiers pursuing them. We
started shortly after and at a point
opposite what is called Plenty Coal
Bluff the same Indians fired on us rid
ding the boat with bullets but hitting
no one on board. The general was in
the pilot house with me and we both
did some lively lodging.
"At that time, where the Bismarck
bridge approach is, the bluffs were
covered with wrecks of old wagons.
At this point the nations that mas
sacred the Minnesota settlers in 1862
and which General SibleH drove across
the country, destroyed their wagons
and crossed the river, below Apple
creek, which was the last ever seen of
them until General Miles ended the
Sioux war. The old pilots used to
call it Wagon Wheel bluff.
A that time the coal that we are
NOW burning on my boat would not
burn. We would try it in every way
20 keep steam at night and save our
wood but could not get it to blaze. It
would turn red around the edges and
we would pull 1t out and throw 1t in
the river. AT the present time I think
it is the best coal In the country. II
burns to ashes, with no clinker or
smoke. We Isl It for fuel on the
boats and I believe that within a few
years It will be the only coal used west
OF st. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha

SAN FRANCISCO GETS 1T.
Next Encompmert of the Grand Army
of the Republic.

~
Washington, Oct. II. - The Grand
Army of the Republic has decided by
a large vote to hold it's encampment
in 1903 at San Francisco. Practically
the only competitor was Atlantic City,
but a few votes were cast for Sarato-
ga. The chances of the last mention
ed place were destroyed by the de-
cision of the New York delegation TO
support San Francisco and when the
solid vote of that delegation was cast
for the Pacific coast city it was recog-
nized that Atlantic City's prospects
were also very SLIM The vote was:
San Francisco, $40; Atlantic City,
178. The selection CT San Francisco
was then made unanimous. Before
the place Of meeting was chosen the
list of national officers was completed.
A. w. Atchison of Texas was chosen
surgeon general and Rev. T. B. Shuey
of Kansas chaplain.in-chief.

BUILDING OPERATIONS.
a Loss over Previous Year in Most of
Twenty-One Cities.

An advance proof Of Construction News,
published in Chicago, gives the building
operations in twenty-one cities for Jan
uary. For the first time indianapolis shows
a loss. The paper says:
while the statistics for January, 1902,
given below, display decrease in the
building operations in twenty-one of the
leading cities of the United States from
the figures for the corresponding month
of last year. they must not be taken as
an indication that this year has nothing
in store for those identified with the build
ing industry.
Figures specially compiled for Construc-
ton News show that during January, 1902,
there were 1885 permits taken out for new
structures in the cities named and that
the sum Of $li32l. 622 was involved in their
construction. During the same period last
year there were 1892 structures erected at
mits, but a decrease of $431 524 in their cost,
or loss of per cent. in the total eXpend-
iture.
However, reports from architects in var
ious parts of the country warrant the pre-
dIctiOn that this Will be a banner year in
building circles. In the offices of men who
prepare plans there is much activity.
DraughtSmen are at a premium and ar
chitects say that they are experiencing
great difficulty in obtaining sufficient help
in order to keep up with the great amount
of work now upon the boards in their Of
fees. This condition of affairs is particu
larry true of Chicago, where every archi-
tect is being forced to his utmost TO COM
plete drawings for all kinds of structures.
In Chicago alone it is estimated that
S25 100000 will be expended this year in the
construction of skyscrapers. New York also
gives promise of large expenditures for
new buildings and reports from there are
to the effect that at least $100, 100000 Will
be spent in ambitious projects.
Taken all in all it is safe to say that
the building industry will certainly exper-
fence the greatest activity this year that
it has in decade. Following are the fig
ureS in detail:
