The strike Commission.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 1s.-From
one of the members of the strike COM
mission the following details as to its
probable course have been obtained:
AS soon as the miners convention has
decided to accept the proposition the
members of the commission will be
officially notified by President Roosevelt
of their selection, accompanied by an
invitation for them to accept the APP
pointments. The same letter will IN
form them of the time and place OF
meeting. The date has not yet been
fixed but it will be at the earliest posi-
bic moment and probably some day
next week. The place, it is expected,
will be in the Department Of Labor.
General Wilson will act as temporary
chairman and call the first meeting to
order 1t is expected that Judge Gray
will be elected permanent president Of
the commission.
After organization the commission
will call in body upon the President
to receive such general instructions as
he may desire to offer. The first two or
three sessions of the commission will be
devoted to mapping out the programme
of its future labors, defining the ques-
tons which are to be investigated and in
other ways preparing for the great work
it has before it.
As the miners are regarded, practi-
cally, as the plaintiffs and the opera
tors the defendants, it is the intention
to hear the side of the miners first.
Accordingly the commission, will pro-
coed to the anthracite regions, most
likely to Wilkesbarre, and establish
headquarters there, The members will
then go to New York and Philadelphia
and hear the side of the operators and
will probably wind up with another
visit to Wilkesbarre, after which they
will return to Washington to prepare
their report. No one has any idea how
much time the investigation will con-
sumo.

ents are followed the miners convention
on Monday will be held behind closed
doors and Mr.. MitchelPs address, which

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA

The board Of visitors of the University
Of Virginia met yesterday afternoon to
decide whether or not George w. Miles,
of Radford, is to hold the double posi-
ton of professor of economic sciences
and chairman of the faculty, for which
he is candidate. The meeting lasted
until late hour last night. All nine
members of the board were present. No
decision was reached, however.
The afternoon session was taken up,
with the consideration of various pro-
tests against Mr.. Miles's election which
have been sent in by the alumni from
different parts of the State, and the
evening session was spent in hearing the
protest of the faculty; signed by seven
teen professors and in considering a.
protest from the students. In connec-
ton with this protest of the faculty Mr..
Miles addressed written communion
ton to the board requesting that il in
vestigate thoroughly the charges made
against his personal character.
A committee, consisting of Profs. NAL
lett, Lille, Page and Dabney, represent
ing the protesting faculty, wen. before
the board and stated that what they OBJ
jected to in Mr. Miles was his marked
un6tness for the place but said they
made no specified charges against Mr.
Miles's personal character.
The board will probably not take a
vote until tonight. 1t is said now that
they stand five to four in favor of Miles.
but this has not been verified. Mr..
Miles has threatened to sue the protest.
ing professors for libel contained in their
protest.
Yesterday evening. shortly after dark.
it was reported that Mr.. Miles had been
elected In less than ten minutes over
200 students had assembled at the en-
tranceto the university grounds. Pistols
were fired, red lights burned, and cannon
crackers set on, asamark of disapproval.
The crowd finally dispersed, however,
without any further disturbance. The
highest excitement prevails in college
and throughout the town

Suit Settled.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 1S.-It was
learned today that the damage suit
brought against the Southern Railway,
the Louisville & Nashville, and the
Nashville, Chattanooga, & st. Louis
Roads by the Adams Compares and
Storage Co., of this city for $40, 900
damages have been satisfactorily settled
out of the court. The grounds of
the complaint were that the railroads
were discriminating against the company
in not furnishing cars for the handling
of the compress and failing to honor the
warehouse receips for cotton handled
by the company, as was done in the case
OF other competitive compress companies.

Trouble Feared.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 1S.-In this VAL
ley where between six and seven hum
dred men have been at work for several
months, trouble is looked for when the
strikers return to work. All the union
men returning want their old positions,
and this the company cannot guarantee.
At Greenwood colliery, about one hun
dred men are employed and Superinten-
dent Gerber has all the men he needs
with the exception of about 10 miners.
The men now at work are all non-union
men, and Gerber says he will discharge
none of them. This situation, it is fear
ed, will cause repeated local strikes
which will require the presence Of the
troops.

IT Is STATED that bhl will be in
PRODUCED in the next session of Congress
to reduce or altogether remove the pro-
tective duties on number OF staple
articles of import, including wool, hides,
coal, hemp, fax and rice. The New
York Evening Post has addressed a
circular question to the Senators and
Representatives in the present Congress
asking whether they willvot for re-
duction of duties in favorof commodities
the production of which is controlled by
monopolies or trusts. While the demo-
Gratis have answered eyes, only twenty
seven republicans have answered at all;
and of these thirteen have also answered
"ves." This indicates the tendency for
tariff revision not only among the
people at large but in the heart of the
republican party. Enough has been
witnessed in Iowa and Massachusetts
TO show that the republicans are hope
lessly divided on this great question.

B,ackmaiIing scheme Revealed.

Chicago. Oct. 1S.-One Of the most
daring conspiracies to blackInail and de-
feat the ends of justice that has been
attempted in years was uncovered To-Day
The plot was to shake money out OF the
Golfers of two wealthy New York fami-
lies. As a result of disclosures one
lawyer, two police officers and a poll
tician are under arrest On July 4 last
a robbery was committed here and VIM.
Hickey is accused of the crime. Hickey
was indicted on the evidence of two
witnesses who, it is claimed, were in
Guced to leave Chicago so as to be out of
the way when the case was called and
thus leave the conspirators plenty
of time to work their scheme.
Then began the alleged work OF
extorting money from Hickey and
his mother, as they thought she would
pay almost any price to hush up the case.
Altogether, they have secured, Hickey
claims, 81, 957 from him, promising 10
keep the ease out Of court, and secure his
freedom. The two New York families
whom it was hoped ultimately to mulct
were those of former United States Sen
ator Murphy and State Senator
Plunkett. 1t was to have been
done through a relative Of theirs, Mrs.
Jane Hickey, whose son is the youth
accused of burglary. When Mrs. Hick-
ey came here to bail out the son, the
conspirators demanded large sum and
she agreed to considerit She consulted
lawyer the details were divulged, and
the arrest of the plotters followed.

Crowds Saw Cripples Cured.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 1S.-Such crowd
of enthusiastic people tried to gain the
privilege of seeing the great humani-
taridn, DIR. Lorenz, of Vienna, operate
on crippled children at the County Hos
pital yesterday that riot call had to be
turned in to summon policemen enough
to hold the throng in check. At noon
it was conservatively estimated that
5000 persons massed in the Railways of
the County Hospital and on the grounds
around the various entrances of the build
ing. OF that number /, 800 witnessed the
irstrelay of operations, three in number.
At the conclusion of three the audi
ence was requested to leave in order to
make room for another 1900. The po-
lice arrived in time to hurry the task OF
clearing the hall, but even with the as
sstance of the trained handlers of crowds
the work proceeded slowly. In spite of
the commotion DIR. Lorenz worked
sereney on his patients, and while the
clinic hall was being turbulently emptied
and filed again he was making methodi-
cal preparation for the second series of
operations.

PRESIDENT ELLIOTT, of Howard I'm


versity, in Washington says;
"The persistence of gambling in the
United States is disappointing 10 the adyo-
Gates of popular education; for gambling
is an extraordinary intelligent form OF
excitement. 1t is prevalent vice

which a moderate cultivation of the IN

sufficient to eradicate. "
Gambling, in one form or another,

face ofpublic opinion and statutes for
its suppression, the practice goes on and
becomes a mania with many, and
common observation does not corroborate

AN UGLY report comes from Tamaqua,
Pa, that says:


AN UGLY report comes from Tamaqua,
Pa, that says;
'Ieaders of the United Mine Workers
in the southern part of the anthracite
region are putting forth every effort at
their command to prevent the convention
in Wilkesbarre, on Monday, from ac-
cepting the plan of the presidents OF the
coal companies and ordering the men to
wark. The strike leaders are determined
not to allow union men to work with non
union men They say that a general
resumption cannot take place until every
man who worked during the strike has
been discharged and replaced by mem
bers of the union.'
Now the constitution of the United
States protects all men in their right to
work and make living for their fami-
lies provided the rights of others are not
interfered with, so under this constitu-
ton "union" and "non-union" men
stand alike. No reasonable man can
urge objections to others forming organi-
cations for their own benefit, but such
organizations must not interfere with
the rights of the many who prefer to
remain independent, otherwise this
would cease to be q free country and
the worst Of tyranny would reign. 1t is
hoped that the '1eaders" mentioned in
the Wilkesbarre dispatch may recede
from their unreasonable position, at
tend to their own affairs and let
others alone, otherwise the trouble
in the coal regions may continue
indefinitely, for the operators have
assured the men who have remained at
work during the strike that there should
he no interference and no intimidation,
and that they should retain theplaces
they have now, and not give place to
any other men. In this connection the
New York Tribune says concerning the
duties of the commissioners appointed
by the President to settle the coal strike:
at would be impertinent to attempt
to forecast its findings in respect to
wages, hours of labor and methods OF
measuring the product, which were
originally the chief subjects of conten-
ton; but we do not hesitate to say just
this-that it is inconceivable that the
arbitrators should tolerate the thought OF
prescribing the faithful men who have
braved manifold perils and endured out
rageous persecution in defence OF the
fundamental and immutable principle
that man has a right to sell his labor
at a price satisfactory to himself"

The Rrood.Excbanee Tragedy.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The Coroner is
making arrangements today to hold an
inquest on the tragic death of w. j.
Mallard, of Atlanta, Ga; Albert Ham
ilton, of Pittsburg, Pa, and W. G.
Turner, of Mount Vernon, n. Y, all OF
whom came to their end in the Broad
Exchange Building yesterday noon by
the hand of Turner, who deliberately
perpetrated a double murder and shot
himself. There were few developments
today to add to the story of how Turner,
driven to a corner where he had to pro-
duce 50, 700 or stand the exposure of ar
rest and possibly Jail for an alleged
shortage in his accounts, pulled his re-
yolyer, intending to put all the men
who had forced him to a settlement out
of the way and then end his own troubles
in death. The escape Of Mr.. Adams,
one of the lawyers, is considered remark
able. After Turner had shot and killed
Mallard, and Hamilton, he pointed the
weapon ut Adams. "For Heaven sake,
don't kill me" pleaded Adams. II
have not anything to do with this thing"
For few seconds Turner held the gun
pointed, then lowered it and said ''Get
out" 1t is also partly established that
he intended putting Mr.. Mcintyre out of
the way for he hunted for him at the court
house before the tragedy. Whenthe cor
oner examined Turner'S body he found
certified check for 81, 700. The certi-
tication is declared to be forgery. In
Turner'S pocket was found second re-
volver. The magazine revolver had
evidently just been purchased when the
shooting was done.
