In reply to a question the governor
said he had no appointment to meet
President Baer of the Reading rail
road, should the latter come to the
city to attend an expected conference
of coal operators. The governor was
told of a report in circulation which
was supposed to account for Senator
Platt's prediction that the coal strike
would be ended this week. 1t was to
the effect that Senator Plat had
knowledge of a plan to have & com
mittee appointed representing New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
the committee to act in an advisory
capacity and to suggest legislation for
the settling of the strike and prevent

Stone refused to comment on this re-

CHOICE CATTLE.
The Embar Cattle Company Offers
Rare Bargains.

TIE I'"UaT SaAIiS NomPany OHers
Rare Bargains.
The advertisement of the Embar
Cattle company discloses a fair op.
portunity for persons desiring a start
or to enlarge a herd of cattle.
Ranchmen of experience have learn
ed that range cows are a breed to
themselves-they are the survival of
the tittest. A successful range cow
is enc which gives ample milk to
raise a calf and not any more and not
any less; the cows in a range herd
which give too much milk have their
bags spoiled and in consequence are
sent to market as fat cows; those
which give too little lose their calves
and hence are sent to market as fat
cows, with the result that only the
best of the cows remain in the herd.
1t is this class of cattle which Colonel
Torrey announces for the Embar Cat
tie company are for sale.
Those who have tried it know by
bitter experience that the barnyard
is not the place to go for cattle to turn
upon the range.
Thus far this fall the most active
buyers in the market seem to be de-
string steers and in consequence many
of the shrewdest cattle men believe
that it is a good time to buy female
stock as that class is depressed in
price because of the unusual absence
of buyers. 4-1-sw-1

DELIBERATELY WENT DOWN
WITH HIS BOAT.
FIRED The AFT MAGAZINE
Rather Than Put Another in Com.
mand Destroyed Vessel and
Sought Death.

Gonaives, Hayti, Sept. 1O.-An in.
vestigation made by a correspondent
CT the Associated Press into the sink.
ing of the Firminist gunboat Crete-a.
Pierrot at the entrance Of this harboI
Saturday shows that Admiral Killick,
her commander, possibly fired the aft
magazine of that vessel when the
German gunboat Panther attempted
to capture her and that he apparently
went down with his ship. The Pan
ther, which had previously attempt
ed to board the Crete-a-Pierrot, the
latter being moored to the shore, re
versed her engines when the maya
zine exploded, and n hour after
wards fired 80 shots from her guns at
the Crete-a-Pierrot in order to finish
the work of sinking her. The Panther
then left Gonaives. It is claimed
here that the rifles and machine guns
of the Crete-a-Pierrot have been a v
ed. The body of Admiral Killick was
recovered Saturday and was buried
the same evening. The urgeo Of
the Crete-a-Pierrot, who was asleep
in his cabin, and two sailors ct that
vessel also persisted.
The Panther is expected to reach
Cape Haytien on Friday. "A newspa-
per of Port au Prince, July II, con-
tanned the following telegram from
Admiral Killick to General Boiserond
Canal, provisional officer Of Hayti:
"Gonaives, July 12.-Boiserand
Canal, Port au Prince: Killick does
not fear anything. Will blow up his
ship and company for the sake Of n a
tional honor. You alone remain re-
sponsible."
Previous to sending the message
to General Canal, it appears, Admiral
Killick had received orders from the
latter to give up his vessel to Lieu
tenant Reid, his second in command,
and it was also reported that the pro-
visional government had requested
the United States gunboat Marietta
and the French cruiser D'Assis to
capture the Crete-a-Pierrot, hence the
defiant dispatch to General Boiserond
Canal.

Union Veterans Union Opposes Plan
to Render Aid to confeder.
ate Soldiers.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The first
public intimation of an organized eff
fort to Illustrate Judge Torrance's plan
for securing aid from union veterans
in building cottage homes for con
federates came to light today in a pub.
lfshed interview with General Robert
G. Dryenforth of this city, commander
in-chief CT the Union Veterans I'm
ion, a very strong body OF old soldiers
with branches in all parts of the
country. The Torrance proposition
has been discussed very generally
among. veterans of this city, and senti-
ment as it c~rystalizes is seen to- be
divided. The conservative element
of the G. A. r. stands %stubbornly in
opposition to il. The Union Veterans
Union Isslargely q political body or

flee, and1at includes most of the ultra
radical old soldier elements. 1t op-
poses the Torrance plan, and General
D%ryenforth says the first duty of un
ion men, if they have spare means,
is towards their own feeble and i'm
poverished comrades. The interview
is couched in narrow, bitter and parti-
zan language. General Dryenforth
fails utterly to comprehend the high
level to which Judge Torrance rose
when he wrote his famous circular
letter. quote a characteristic para
graph:
II regard the suggestion as vicious.
There is a spirit of disloyalty to the
old union preserver in some instances
in the land, and it would be sad and
shocking to see this spirit extending
among the veterans toward each 9TH
er, whereby n would give for an In
%stitution existing by reason Of an at
tempt to ruin u fair land ere he
would seek to extend necessary aid
to a comrade.
II do not wish to be misunderstood.
So far as l know there is not a union
veteran who has any feeling of ami
mostly toward any man who ever as
a soldier or as a civilian endeavored
to support the so-called southern con-
federacy. I have many warm friends
who were rebels but it is not as rebels
that they are now my friends. AS
rebels, they had to be %pardoned, and
pardon implies contrition. 1 can see
no contrition where they form bodies
to foster the cause of their wrong do
ing and still meet and march about
Haunting the flag of treason. The re-
bellion is just as wrong today as it
was in 1861. I think the union vet
Grams had better give attention to Sc
curing enforcement of the constitu-
ton, to caring for one another and to
getting proper recognition. We do
not want any premium put upon re-
bellion."
The Union Veterans Union will hold !
it's annual meeting in this city during
the G. A. r. meeting and it's members
may be depended upon to oppose the
Torrance proposition vigorously.
