REFUSES TO BE GOOD.

Ii Is possible the Tribune man
lmaglnes he has an argument in
raklBg up that somewhat stale ques-
ton as TO who settled the coal strike.
W alter Nellman's Review of Re-
view article from which one gains a
tair idea Of she forces engaged in
working out that great problem has
been lberally quoted on both sides.
1T 1t tells anything it is that Nor
gan, Roosevelt and Mitchell were all
three Instrumental in the settlement.
Lincoln did not win the civil war
although he had good deal more to
do about it than Roosevelt did about
the strike. Neither did Grant or
Henry Ward Beeeher win it. DIFF
ferent men according to their bias of
mind, sometimes attribute it 10 one
and again to another. Neither the
heart, the lungs nor the blood can
alone throw off disease They must
cooperate. So IN the great coal
strike IT took the combined efforts of
the chief executive, the trust king
aud the mighty young tribune of
labor to force success. Not only
tins but all three worked from indie
pendent motives and there were
other independent forces pushing
in the same direction. As Well
man stated. Most people say, the
president settled it. 1t would be
more correct to say that he helped"
Roosevelt without Morgan would
have been Impotent; both without
Mitchell would have failed. Quite
possibly Morgan and Mitchell would
have succeeded without Roosevelt.
That Is all our simple query meant. a
simple query which it seems threw
both contemporaries into an acute
spasm of real or assumed inalgna-
ton.
So far as Roosevelt's part was
concerned, 1t was mans part. 1t
Is hardly just to even hint that
political expedieney caused his anx-
lety to settle the matter the week
before election after it had been in
progress for months A mans mo
tIves need not always be the object
of suspicion. We have not now nor
heretofore denied him credit. bat IT
viii hardly do for any one who
thinks straight at all to claim seri-
ously that Roosevelt settled the
strike all alone with his little
hatchet. OF course if the Tribune
ditor insists on mounting him as a

G. 0ES TO ASSEMBLY
ELECTION OF STATE TICKET IN
VERMONT.
Local Option Candidate Gave the Reg
u1ar Republican Nominee
Very Close Race.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Sep
tember 3.-The high license local option
ticket, headed by Percival w. Clement Of
Rutland, gave the regular republican ticket
on which Gen. John G.. Mccullough was
named for governor, close fight yesterday,
the result being that the choice of gov
ernor and lieutenant governor is thrown
into the general assembly, which will meet
on the first Wednesday in October.
The vote was phenomenally heavy for an
"off' year, almost coming up to the figures
Of presidential years. Returns to complete
the state are belated and 1t will be some
hours before the plurality of Gen. McCul-
lough over Mr.. Clement will be determined
Pluralities, however, do not count in Yer
mont, majority being needed to elect The
closeness of the vote is shown by the figures
of 200 cities and towns out of 246 which are
as follows: Mccullough, republican, q, ,206;
McGettrick, democrat, 6,451, Clement, high
license "a, LAG; Sherburne, prohibitioniSt

Two years ago Gov. Stickney, on the re-
publican ticket, had 40, 795; Zenter, demo-
crat, 1901, and all others, 1929.
The split in the republican vote Tas en-
tirely on the head of the ticket and The pro-
portion Mr.. Clement obtained of it was
added to by one-half the democratic
strength. The prohibitionists polled the
heaviest vote in their history.
Judging from returns the republicans
have had their usual success in nearly all
of the fourteen counties of the state, al
though in isolated instances fusion tickets
defeated the republican ticket. The inter-
est is entirely centered in the legislature. 1t
consists of 246 representatives and 30
senators. Returns thus far in give the re-
publicans in the lower branch 116 members,
democrats 30, high license % and labor l.
For the senate the republicans have p,
the democrats and high license 4.
For Congress David ]. Foster of Bur-
lington, republican, was reelected in the
first district, and Kittredge Haskins, re-
publican. in the second district.
The remainder of the republican state
ticket was elected.

Just at this juncture the ticker in every
office in Wall street and on the stock ex-
change licked out the message that Presi-

and that some of his party had been killed
In an instant the stock exchange was in an

news came that the President had escaped
serious injury. The downward slump stop

There was little pause in the trading. be-
cause the room was uncertain about the
news from Pittsfeld, fearing that possibly
the President might be hurt and that they
were only trying to let the street down
easy.
Throughout the Wall street section the
most intense excitement prevailed. The
Dig ONCE buildings emptied themselves of
their contents and excited crowds stood
around the corners grabbing for the extra
editions of the noon papers, which quickly
came pouring out of newspaper row. 1t

OFFICIALS MUCH RELIEVED.
News Received of the Buford's Arrival
at Honolulu.

The officials of the War Department were
much relieved by the receipt of advices of
the arrival Of the transport Buford at
Honolulu. That vessel was bound from
Manila for San Francisco with troops and
was several days overdue at San Fran
cisco before her arrival at Honolulu was
reported. 1t is stated that she put into the
Hawaiian port on account of the leaky con-
dition of her boilers. Repairs will be made
at that port and she will proceed on her
voyage. So great was the anxiety as TO
the safety of this vessel that the DEPART
ment had arranged to send out several YES
sells in search Of her. Such action would
have seriously disarranged the regular ser
vice between San Francisco and Manila
and the officials are naturally much graft
fed that the necessity for it has been hap
PLY averted.

RIOT AT AGRAM, HUNGARY.
Mob Sacks Many Houses, Including
Retired Officers.

AGRAM, Hungary, September 3.-Many
houses were wrecked and sacked during
the past night. The rage Of the mob was
first directed against the house Of Captain
Witas, retired army officer, who yester-
day fired on the crowd, wounding a man.
The rioters erected barricades, tore up the
fence, smashed the windows and were pro-
ceeding to storm the place when the mill
tary dispersed them.
The mob, however, soon reassembled and
returned and the rioters forced their way
into the house, which they wrecked. Cap-
tain Witas and his wife escaped. The
rioters then sacked the houses of a number

NEGRO BURGLAR SHOT.
Cleveland Attorney Caught Him at
His House

CLEVELAND. Ohio. September 3.-SI-

as Chicago, was shot by Attorney Chas. y.
Sheldon of No. 1912 Euclid avenue early
today. The negro tried TO escape after
being shot, but was trailed by bloodhounds
and captured about 600 yards from the
house.
The capture of Johnson, ii is believed,

Just outside his door. He procured rife
