NO STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

Just after the conclusion of the CON
ference between Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh,
representing the coal Operators, and John
Mitchell and his associates, representing
the miners, at the New Willard. in
Washington, yesterday afternoon, Mac
Veagh received dispatch from Presi.
dent Baer declaring all negotiations off.
Mr.. Baer had decided, and so an
nounced, that the settlement of the dis
putes between the operators and miners
must revert to the strike commission,
and would not be adjusted by an outside
conference.
Mr.. MacVeagh would not discuss this
new phase of the situation. He admit
ted, however, that he had received a
dispatch from Baerupon the subject say
ing that the coal road operators had de-
cided at a meeting in New York that
they would not meet Mr.. Mitchell to
discuss terms of settlement. At this
meeting also the Independent operators
entered firm protest to the coal road
presidents against the proposed basis OF
settlement or compromise with the
miners. That decision by the coal road
men apparently makes settlement of
the strike impossible except through the
operations of the Strike Arbitration
Commission appointed by President
Roosevelt. The report was confirmed
later by Henry ID. Lloyd, Mitchell hay-
ing been advised before he left Wash
ington that Mr.. Baer had issued such n
statement.
The reason for the protest Of the in
dependent coal operators to the proposed
permanent settlement Of the coal miners
grievances are set forth in statement
which was prepared yesterday at the
meeting of the Independent operators
One OF the reasons advanced by the in
dependent operators is that such settle
ment upon the basis suggested would
''forever establish the power and perpet-
uate the injustice perpetrated by the
United Mineworkers.

THE EXPECTED has happened and the
President, after having been "seen" by
the leading protectionists, has been
swerved from his expressed determina-
ton concerning tariff reform, as will be
seen by the following dispatch sent Out
from Washington:
The President has finished his message TO
Congress. and it is now in solid type, so that
he will not hold any more conferences with
members of Congress in regard to the recon-
mendations he intends to make TO the legisla-
tive branch of the government: The Presl,
dent finished his message on Monday, ana
sent all oft but the portion referring to tarlii
and trusts TO the government printing offlce 10
be set up into type. He held the above-re,,
ferred-to portions Of the paper until he couid
consult with several members ofCongress who
are in the city, and having done so on Mon,
day he finished up his message that night ana
sent it to the printer, and it was put IN type
Yesterday The President has come TO the
conclusion that il would be unwise to attempt
any tariff legislation this session, and he has
about given up all idea of an extra session OF
the next Congress after talking to members OF
the Senate and Speaker-to-be Cannon. AS 10
trusts, the President will recommend action
on the lines laid down in his Fourth Of July
speech, made in Pittsburg, and also urge thai
Congress take speedy action on the subject.

Fairfax has filed a claim against the
government for 500 at the War De-
partment on account Of the erection of a
signal pole on his land, bordering the
Potomac river some miles below this

provement Of the Potomac river, found
it necessary in the dredging operations
under way at Mattawoman shoal to
place pole with flag at the peak on

sidered it an act of trespass. He made
complaint to the War Department, and
was asked to file claim fixing the

THE Presidents Thanksgiving proc
lamation carries the idea that the peace,
plenty and prosperity the nation enjoys
are due to the favor of the Most High
and Giver of all Good, and he asks that
the people rest from their labors and
give thanks accordingly. The Philadel-
phia Record suggests that this view is
orthodox in reason and morals; but it is
heretical from the protectionist point of
view. For one day in the year it is
proposed TO throw down the tariff idol
and render unto God the things that are
Gods.

was the grouping of the new circuit
iudgeships into terms Of two, four, six,
and eight years, as provided by the new
constitution. This was done in joint
session, and the matter was determined
by lot. These judges have all been
nominated by the democratic caucus.
None have been elected yet, but nomiaa-
ton is equivalent to election. The
Judges, who are chosen for two-year
terms, will, in every case, almost GER
tainly be elected to a full term at the
expiration of their short ones.
