OPERATIONS ON CHILDREN.

REM. the greatest specialist In the world,
all the way from Vienna. will be duplicated
upon Catherine Brown, daughter OF
freight handler for the Illinois Central
Railway, Wednesday evening, by DR.. Lo-

Murphy, little Catherine Brown is suffering
with the same hip trouble that affiicts

the Armour child yesterday. The operation
on the Brown child will be before clinic

School.
Tonight before an audience that crowded
the amphitheater at the College OF Physi-

Quoted the largest clinic ever held in Chi

performed seven operations for congenital
dislocation OF the hip, or three more than
he ever had treated in one day. All the pa

from the same affliction which Professor
Lorenz came to America to treat in little
Lolita Armour. Patient after patient was

by brokerage houses with Western connec-
tons. The conservative element paid lit
tie heed, and denials Of a settlement were
authorized by representatives of the Lack
awanna and the Ontario & Western roads.
The report that Mr.. Morgan had assured
Secretary of War Root that the miners
would receive 10 per cent. increase upon
returning to work was answered by Presi-
dent Thomass secretary at follows: mo
10 per cent increase has been granted nor
considered. This report must be denied
emphatically." Mr.. Olyphant said that he
knew nothing about 10 per cent. increase.
There is good authority for the state
ment that Secretary Root did not bring an
ultimatum from President Roosevelt, as re-
ported, but rather that the secretary was
directed by the President to ask Mr.. Nor
gan to devise some means to settle the
strike. Mr.. Morgan, 1t is said, took the
Presidents request under advisement and
later reported to Secretary Root his ina
bility to do anything in the matter.
1t is known that on Friday last one Of the
leading operators wrote to the Pennsylva-
MIA authorities demanding that the mines
be furnished with better protection. There
came prompt reply, stating that the en-
tire Pennsylvania militia had been called
out and that the situation was we'll in
hand. Apparently the operators are not
of that opinion, as 1t is known that anoth-
er letter has been forwarded to Governor
Stone urging that he call on President
Roosevelt for federal troops.
In all probability the coal operators will
hold their regular weekly meeting in this
city tomorrow. President Baer is expected
to attend. Whether this meeting will pro-
duce any results is at this time matter OF
conjecture.

GREETED BY PARISIANS
WARM WELCOME GIVEN GENERALS
BOTHA, DE WET AND DELAREY.
Money for the Aid of Children
Luncheon by King Edward.

PARIS, Oct 13-The Boer Generals
Botha, De Wet and Delarey arrived in
Paris to-day Senator Pauliat and the pro-
Boer committee received them at the rail-
road station. After speeches of welcome
had been delivered the party drove to
hotel. The precincts of the station and
the route to the hotel were thronged with
spectators, who heartily cheered the gen.
erals, although the crowds present and the
enthusiasm manifested was nothing like
the assemblages and demonstration wit
messed on the occasion of Mr.. Kruger's ar
rival here two years ago.
General Botha, replying to Senator Paul
iat said: I'VE have suffered greatly and
had to sign a peace which was great
shock to you and us. l hope self-govern-
ment will soon be given to the Boer peo-
pie. for they loyalty laid down their arms
and took the oath of allegiance. But 1t
must not be inferred from this allegiance
that they will allow themselves to be
dragged in the mud" This statement was
greeted with cheers.
A big crowd gathered during the after
noon in the vicinity of the Hotel de Hol-
lande, where the Beers are staying, and
the police and municipal guards were
forced to Gordon part of the Rue de la Paix.
A few anti-British cries were raised, but
the cheers were generally for the Beers and
were mingled with the singing of the Mar
seillaise. The generals had to appear sew
eral times on the balcony and one general
held in his arms little French girl who
had presented him with bouquet tied
with the Boer colors. This evoked great
outburst of cheering.
The generals called at the Elysee Palace,
where they signed the register. From the
palace they went to the residence Of Pre-
mier Combes, where they were receivd by
the premier. They explained to M. Combes
that they had been greatly touched by the
courtesy of the French people and that
they considered 1T their duty to express
their gratitude to the French government.
NJ. Combes thanked the Beers for their
words and shook hands with them. The
generals then proceeded to the Foreign
Office. where they had brief and similar
interview with the foreign minister, NJ.
| Delcasse. Afterwards they visited the
| presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and
| the Senate. AS they drove about the city
| they were acclaimed by the crowds. A
man outside the Elysee Palace shouted:
| Death to the English" He was arrested,
| and, with this exception, there were no
unpleasant incidents.
The pro-Boer committee gave banquet
| privately to the Boer generals this even
| ing. They will be received by the munich
| pality of Paris at the town hall tomorrow.
The Society for the Aid of Boer Children
handed General De Wet $4,000.

CONFERENCES AT PHILADELPHIA.
Strike Discussed by Baer, Cassatt,
Quay and Others.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 13.-Numer-
Gus conferences took place in this city to-
day relative to the anthracite coal miners
strike, the more prominent OF the partici-
pants being President Baer, of the Phila-
delphia & Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany; President Cassatt of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad. and United States Senator
Quay. The proceedings at the various
meetings were not divulged, but II was evil
dent that some new move is contemplated
by the operators. A report was current
here to-day that the weekly meeting of the
coal road presidents would be held in this
city tomorrow instead of New York, ac-
cording to custom. Tonight, however, it
was learned on good authority that Presi-
dent Baer will go to New York tomorrow
and the meeting will be held there as
usual.
AS President Baer was leaving his Office
in the Reading Terminal building this
evening he was asked as to the truth Of
the report that the operators contemplated
offering the striking miners an Increase.
To this and all other questions he returned
his usual answer-that he had nothing to
say.
President Baer returned to this city from
New York early this morning He re-
NAMED in his private car until z o'clock,
when he proceeded to his office and break
tasted Two hours later he went to the
Office of President CaSSatt, remaining In
conference with the latter about forty-five
minutes. The only other person present
during the meeting s. w. Provost,
third vice president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in charge of traffic.
Gen. Louis Wagner, president of the
Board of City Trusts, which represents the
Girard estate, owner of several collieries
leased by the Reading Company, called on
the two railroad presidents, but did not
participate in the conference. After Mr..
Baer had departed Mr.. Cassatt proceeded
to the office of Gen. Isaac Wistar, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panys anthracite coal companies. While
the two were in conference Senator Quay
arrived. His visit was brief. AS he was
leaving Mr.. Cassatt's office he was asked:
rs President Cassatt making any effort
to procure a settlement of the strike, and
have you been the bearer of any message
from President Roosevelt to Mr.. Cassatt?"
The senator declined to answer, but imme-
diately proceeded to Mr.. Baer's Office,
where he remained in conference with the
Reading Companys president for a short
time.
In the meantime Joseph s. Stickney, of
the New York firm of Stickney, Cunning
ham e. CO., sales agents for the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad, and Morris Williams, gen.
eral manager of the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads coal companies, were in conference
with General Wistar Nothing could be
learned, however, of what transpired. Gen.
eral Superintendent Luther, of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany, held lengthy conference with Presi-
dent Baer this afternoon

parture for India. where he is to take COM
mand Of the British forces. Lord Roberts
also was the guest Of the King.
General Corbin delivered to the King a

King replied that he would answer the
message personally in the same kindly
spirit in which ii was sent.
At the conclusion of a rather elaborate
luncheon his Majesty arose and proposed
the health of President Roosevelt. The
King spoke in most admiring terms of the
President and expressed his delight in see
ing such distinguished Americans present
Before any other toast could be proposed
his Majesty announced an adjournment to
the smoking room, where he had a long
talk with Generals Corbin, Young and
Wood, and personally expressed to them
his gladness to see them in England "be-

Mass meeting contributions are just be-
ginning to reach the United Mine Workers
headquarters. and the collections usually
range from a few dollars to several undred
and sometimes several thousand. Some OF
these contributions represent meetings OF
trade unionists only, while others come
from meetings held by citizens. Up till the
1st of the month there had been few con-
tributions from sources outside the trades
union movement, except personal contrfbu-
lions, some of which ranged as high as
5000. Mr.. Wilson thinks that since the
mass meeting movement has started the
contributions will be greatly increased. He
said the mine workers have been able to
take care of the strikers so far, but as win

received to meet additional expenses. He

received by him from his lieutenants in the
held showed fewer men at work to-day
than last week
1t is quite evident that extra efforts were
made on both sides to gain an advantage.
The soldiers of the Third Brigade were sent
into the outlying mining towns in this re,
glon long before starting up time TO patrol
the roads leading TO the collieries. In some
places the soldiers were scattered in twos
and threes along streets and on street cor
ners, but they were not compelled TO res
cue any one from strikers. The company
superintendent are authority for the state
ment that for the past two days the mine
workers have been again making house TO
mouse canvaSses all over the entire terri
tory, holding the men IN line, and that IL
1t were not for this method of keeping the
men from work there would have been
large increase in the number OF employees
at work.
One superintendent. in speaking of the
situation as 1t exists to-day, said: The
number of men who returned to work to-
day was not very large, but the movement
in that direction was gratifying. The COM
panies did not make great effort TO break
the ranks OF the strikers, preferrlng 10
wait until the New York conferences are
over. They have held out false hope TO
the men and as soon as they are over the
men will see that there is no use to hold
out any longer and will be glad to resume
work.
In an interview tonight President Mitch
ell summed up the general situation as fol-
lows Il have heard from every point In
the coal region to-day, and my information
is TO the effect that fewer men were at
work to-day than there were last week.
There were assertions from the camps at
Scranton, Hazleton, the Panther creek val
ley and Shamokin. The report that twelve
collieries resumed operations is not true.
The Bellevue colliery of the Lackawanna
Company which, it is claimed, was started,
hoisted two cars and then shut down. The
Johnson collieries Nos. / and of the New
York, Ontario & Western Company, con-
trary to report, did not move wheel. At
the Lattimer mines of c. Pardee & Co. the
mine foremen raised some coal that had
been gathered at the bottom and no new
men started there, as reported. The Pros
pect colliery of the Lehigh Valley, which
Is also said to have begun work, did not
ship any coal. / have not heard anything
Of the other collieries. but IL they had
started work / would have been informed"
While Mr.. Mitchell willing to talk
about the conditions in the coal fields, he
resolutely declined to discuss the confer
ences that have been in progress among
the operators. In reply to all questions as
to whether he had received any informa-
ton or offers from the other side he said:
| Il won't talk about that" He said he had
made no arrangements to leave the city to
meet any one.
There was no news from the military end
| of the great struggle. General Goblin said
| his men had little work to do. He said
| there were several cases of violence of a
minor nature reported to headquarters, but
nothing of a serious nature.

To Break the Fuel Monopoly.

CHICAGO, Oct 13.-A resolution was
unanimously adopted tonight by the City
Council memorializing Congress to obtain
control of undeveloped coal lands in order
that the fuel monopoly might be broken by
competition with the government
1t was also decided to establish a board
to be known as the "City of Chicago Anti
trust of Monopoly Commission" to con-
sist of three lawyers selected to engage at
once in the legal aspect of the coal strike.
The members are to investigate and then
they are authorized to seek to apply federal
laws or those OF any State that may be
applicable in order to bring about cessa-
ton Of the labor difficulties in the anthra-
cite regions and to break other monopolies.
Apart from this action, the councimen
also decided to ask Congress to employ
