The Conference OF the Politicians
at Now YORK to BrInQ HDOut
4 Settlements Failed.
The President 6Ont6rS With His Advisers,
hnd There is a Report That He Has
HnOth6r Plan Developing,

the person of soldier 1t is thought
to be probable that the President will
ask Stone to come to Washington and
give his views on this feature of the
situation
Since the details of the conference
have become known and the public
made fully aware of the attitude of the
operators, it is noticeable that there
is materially increased tendency to-
ward the belief that the exercise of the
right ot eminent domain may have to
be resorted to ultimately. The inclut3
sion in the New York Democratic plat
fCrn, of plank favo.ing the national
ownership of the mines through the ex-
ercise of this right has been severely
criticized here, but as the winter draws
near, with on prospect Of settlement in
sight, many former critics are swing
ing around to the belief that after all
the radical step favored by the New
York Democrats may be preferable to
the appalling results that may follow
continuance of the present condition
Of affairs, even though that step may
be, as charged by some. undemocratic,
paternalistic and socialistic.
1t is fully realized here that, having
gone as far as he has, the President
will go further. He appreciates the
fact that the future of himself and of
his party is at stake. He is much ex-
ercised by the absolute failure of his
efforts at moral suasion," and there
is reason to believe that his next move
will be of surprising nature. He
thinks that he has already gained some
political prestige in a certain direction,
and his followers are now seeking to
create the impression that he scorns
the attitude Of the coal operators and
their friends, all of whom are said4to
resent his attempt at interference He
will attempt to work in such a way
as to appeal to both sides, and he be-
lieves that if he is successful in aiding
to bring about a settlement his polit-
ical fortune will be made.
SHENANDOAH, Pa, Oct. 10.-The
State soldiers on duty here received
their pay yesterday, and the town has
been in state of excitement all day
as result of clashes between drunk
en- soldiers and the local guardians of
the law.
The trouble commenced when a MEM
Der of. Company C, of the Twelfth
| Regiment, was arrested and locked up
| for disorderiy conduct. Soon after the
arrest a. dozen other members of the
company surrounded Officers Philips
and Creary, who made the arrest, and
an alteration ensued which ended by
one of the soldiers striking Philips in
the face.
Imediately Officer William Shortall,
who had been watching proceedings,
stepped in and placed the soldier un-
der arrest. The other National
Guardsmen attempted to take their
friend away from the officer, but a
hundred strikers rushed to the assist
ance of the constable. and the soldiers
were roughly handled.
The prisoner and two other soldiers
who interfered were taken to the bor-
ough Jail by the constables. followed
by a cheering mob. The disturbance
occurred right in front Of the brigade
headquarters.
Several other soldiers. prisoners
have been taken away from the town
police by the povost guard.
