NEW YORK, Oct. S.-President John
Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers,
arrived tonight from Wilkesbarre, Pa.
With him were District Presidents
Nichols, Fahy and Duffy. They went
Immediately to the Ashland hotel.
Mr.. Mitchell was asked if he had
come to hold a conference with the op-
orators, but he declined to say. He re-
fused to answer all questions and to
say how long he would be in the city.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Mitchell called up
Wilkesbarre by telephone, the reason
being that he had expected some 'tele-
grams which he did not find awaiting
him. Shortly after this he turned to
the newspaper men and said:
Information has been conveyed to
me by phone that total of 260 local
unions have reported unanimous votes
against resuming work. The men are
not deferred from going to work
through any fear of bodily harm, but
are resolved to remain out until the
differences between them and the op-
orators are arbitrated or until they arc
ordered to return by their leaders.
,"ThiS leaves not more than forty or
fifty local unions to hear from yet.
The unanimous action includes the
votes of strikers not members of the
union, but who were present at the
meetings and voted with the union
men,"
At II o'clock President Mitchell and
two of the district presidents went
from the Ashland house to the Fifth
avenue hotel, where Senators Quay
and Penrose, of Pennsylvania, and
Louis L. Hammerling, of Wilkesbarre
Pa, were registered.

AMERICANS FIGHT
UNDER ALIEN FLAG
Colombian Gunboat Boeota Sails, Man
ned by Men of the United
States.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. S.-The
Colombian gunboat Bogota is now on
her way to Panama to encounter the
insurgent war vessel Padifla.
She has an all-American crew, and
both officers and men have "pasts" in
which fighting has been the dominat-
ing characteristic. Her officers have
warfare and her sailors nearly all hold
discharges from the United States
navy. Those that lack discharges are
without them because their method of
leaving the service was not in accord
ance with regulations.
Capt. H. HI. Marmaduke, the COM
manding officer, was a captain in the
confederate army.
Lieut.. Arthur H. Dutton is a gradu-
ate of Annapolis and served with the
rank of ensign on the converted yacht
can war. He is the gunboat's execu-
tive officer.
Lieuts. Hitchell and Mantgis are al
so Annapolis men.
Surgeon w. G. Graham was through
the Cuban, Philippine and Chinese
campaigns.
Col. James H. Gregory, of the Co
lombian army, who is going to Panama
on the Bogota, is distinguished mill
tary officer.
The Bogota's crew is about 400
strong. Twelve Of her sailors were
with Dewey at Manila and several of
them should now be serving Uncle
Sam on the battleShip Oregon.
In the Bogota's crew are three grad
yates of the United States school of
gunnery.
Just before the sailing of the Bo-
gotta, John Carrick,, chief engineer, and
his assistants, H. Lind and w. S. Hin
ton, announced their dissatisfaction
and resigned. Executive Officer Dut-
ton secured Edward S. Cramp to take
the position of chief engineer in Car
rick's place.

FRANCE MAY ALSO
HAVE DEAR COAL
General Strike Decided Upon by the
National Committee of the Min
ers' Association.

PARIS, Oct. S.-The national COM
ton has decided to declare a general
strike, to begin tomorrow. 1t is esti-
mated that $4,000 men have already
struck in the northern coal fields and
that 5000 men have struck around ST.
Etienne. The committee has issued
manifesto addressed to the miners
comrades in the United States, Eng
land, Germany, Begium and Australia,
which declares:
"The cause we are defending is COM
mon to all. We are pushed to the last
extremity in fighting to obtain a slight
improvement in our miserable condi-
ton, more equitable remuneration,
with regulation of our work for the
present, and legislation sheltering us
against the strict needs of old age.
We are sure you understand your
duty; we leave to you the initiative in
such measures as are most convenient
to you in aiding us in this struggle"
The decision to declare q strike
throws the responsibility upon the
mine owners, because the latter have
declined to discuss the claims of the
miners. The mine owners took this at
titude on the ground that the questions
of the regulation of work and old-age
pensions were now before parliament
tary committees and the strike had al
ready broken out without warning and
without motive. The French miners
number 10000 men, of whom only Co.
900 belong to the federation.
The probability of a rise in the price
of domestic and factory coal is begin
ming to be seriously discussed.

SEES SNAKES AND
SIGN THE PLEDGE
Appearance Of a Dozen RattIers Has
a Strange Effect Upon Chicago
Policemen.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-Fifteen police
men attached to the Desplaines street
station signed pledges today. Some Of
them had not tasted liquor in years,
but they signed nevertheless. And all
because the fifteen temperance advo-
Gates and their less conservative
brethren saw snakes.
There were only twelve snakes, not
quite enough to apportion one to each
of the pledgetakers, but that was not
discovered till the policemen had a
chance to peer back through grated
windows at what they had fled from.
The stoutest man in the station was
the first to reach the street, and he
was not the last to vow never again to
indulge even in the tiniest bit Of "a
comfortable drop" The opening of an
old satchel, which had been left at the
station by a stranger, caused the
moral emulsion. In the satchel the
snakes were found, dozen shiny rat
tiers"

PIETRO MASCAGNI
WIELDS THE BATON
Auspicous Opening of the Great Com
poser's Operate Tour of
America.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Pietro Mas
cagni tonight opened his American op-
cratic tour with the performance of
two of his own lyrical compositions at
the Metropolitan opera house, which
was literally crowded from parquet to
gallery. The audience gave the COM
poser a wonderfully warm and enthu-
siastic welcome.
The evenings entertainment opened
with a simple love story in one act,
"Zanetto," the bill being completed
with "Cavelleria Rusticana," the opera
that has won for Mascagni his greatest
renown in the musical world. When
Mascagni appeared at the conductors
chair the audience arose to it's feet and
cheered most heartily. He won ad-
miration and appreciation by his dig
nified and forceful method Of leader
ship, holding orchestra and singers in
perfect control and exhibiting not tbs
slightest eccentricity of manner, but
impressing upon the observer sense
of his force and feeling.
The operas were very well sung and
acted. The enthusiasm Of the audi
ence was particularly demonstrative at
the conclusion of the "Cavalleria" in
termezzo and at the end of the opera.

COST OF LIVING UP,
WAGES STATIONARY
Instructive Figures Covering the Past
Five Years Dug Up in
Chicago.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The cost of liv-
ing has increased 40 per cent in the
last five years, according to figures
presented to the board of arbitration
which is considering the demand Of
the street car men for increased wages
These figures are based on testimony
taken from men of all trades. In ad-
dition they show that wages have not
kept pace with the rise in prices, the
former remaining almost stationary.
Following are some of the conclusions
reached:
Since 1897 prices have varied as fol-
lows: Wheat -four for family use de-
creased 1914 per cent; Oolong tea in
creased 1888; coffee, of the green vari-
ETY. is one of the necessities that went
down, the decrease being 29.49 per
cent; granulated sugar is also $40 per
cent less in price; common soap costs
1888 per cent more and starch ILL
per cent.
A great increase is shown in the
price of meats. Beef ranges from 9.0S
to 35 per cent higher in value Fore
quarters of mutton are 1892 per cent
more valuable than twenty-five years
ago. Fresh pork shows a 40 per cent
gain and salted pork S.0S per cent.
Sausages are up 1897 per cent, and
butter lard. cheese. milk and pota-
toes show substantial rises in selling
value. While coal has been soaring,
wood has come down from 1872 to 9.55
per cent. Mems heavy boots are also
cheaper. Rents show the greatest in
crease, varying from four-room tene-
ments at 40.56 per cent rise to 1924
per cent for six-room tenements.

teeth during sleep Tuesday morning
and being supported in his belief by
the operator of an X-ray machine,
Frank Buettner, well known local
contractor, today had his esophagus
opened its full length to recover the
missing article No teeth were found,
however, and the operation was Sc
we're one.
A search of the bed in which Mr..
Buettner slept Monday night disclosed
the teeth between the mattresses. Mr..
Buettner's condition is serious. The
object which the X-ray expert held to
be teeth was a swelling due to
larygnitis.

sNuRRED BY COAL BARoNs.
They Will Not Meet the Manufacture
ers' Committee.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. S.-The
visit to this city of the comittee rep
resenting the National Association of
Manufacturers for the purpose of con-
ferring with the presidents of the an
thracite coal carrying roads who last
week met President Roosevelt and the
officials of the miners union at Wash
ington, appears to have been frultless.
The committee arriVer here early this
morning and spent the greater part of
the day at the Manufacturers club
awaiting the appearance of the presi-
dents, but none of the latter answered,
In person at least, the request of the
committee for conference. Then the
committee issued the following vague
statement:
",rhe committee of the National AS
sociation of Manufacturers came to
Philadelphia after meeting John Mitch
ell and his associates at Buffalo on
Tuesday, for the purpose of considering
measures by which the coal strike
could be ended, and this committee will
meet again Oct. IA.
d M. Parry, President National As
sociation of Manufacturers.
George B. Barbour, Detroit.
-"Richard Young, New York.
FRANK Leake, Philadelphia"
After the members of the committee
had breakfasted they dispatched
messenger to the office of President
Baer, of the Reading company, an
nouncing that they were ready to meet
the operators. The nature of Mr.
Baer's reply is not known, but in ans
wer to question the railroad presi-
dent said:
II know nothing about committee"
He declined to make any further state
ment.
President Parry said invitations to
meet the committee had been sent
to all of the presidents who had met
President Roosevelt last week and that
favorable replies had been received
from three of them. He would not,
however, divulge their names. During
the afternoon President Parry, in an
interview, said:
''The strike has reached what we now
believe is the crisis. We were in
hopes of meeting the operators today,
but owing to the short notice they re-
ceived they were unable to be pres
ent."
The impression prevails here that
United States Senators Quay and Pen
rose are still endeavoring to effect a
settlement of the strike. The two SEN
ators went to New York late this
afternoon, but declined to state the

BOSTON, Mass, Oct s.-According
to Washington dispatch to the Ad-

to succeed Secretary Shaw at the head
Of the treasury department. The
change, it is said, will not be made
during the present financial stress be-
cause of the opposition in Wall street
to the Iowan and the effect a yielding
to this clamor would have on public
opinion. Gov. Crane has been to Wash
ington several times in the last week
